  1. Conviction, he said. “You’re entitled to a trial and all that dear, but…I’m afraid the public has already made it’s mind up about you.” This can’t be…Merry Banteur, socialite and film extraordinaire…convict?

  2. Such a strong word. Convictions. I have so many of them. Convictions that people do not understand. They never will. I am okay with that. They are my convictions. I know they are right. My heart is happy. Very happy. I wonder if they have a happy heart with their lack of morals.

  3. “You have an awful lot of conviction about this. ” I nodded, silently biting my lip. “I’m ready this time, I swear Josh.” He took my hands in his own and rubbed little circles on the inside of palms distractedly. “I don’t know Babe..”

  5. Lame word…………………………. soooooooooooooo bored…………

  6. When I first hear the word conviction, for some reason I take “convict” out of it. Conviction is a firm belief, so why the hell does “convict” not mean something to deal with belief? Belief of guilt? I mean, I guess. Seems stupid to me though. I think they could have thought of a better word for that. Tyler out.

  7. believe. Don’t be swayed. The truth, your truth. A criminal record, to hold firm views, to rob others of their convictions….is this possible? Maybe…

  9. A blur of conviction passed her face and she looked stunned for a moment before frowning.

    “You are a rat.” she said, clearly and distinctly. And completely in opposition to the fact that she felt quite drunk and faint.

    “I am no such thing.” he said, struggling against the restraints her second cousin had placed him in. “He is.”

    She frowned, looked towards Gerald, and then shook her head, feeling dizzy as she did.
    “No.” she said, “You are the rat.”

  10. Myślę, że we wszystkim co robisz potrzebne jest przekonanie. To pozwala naprawdę się zaangażować w sprawę.

  15. This was the place that bore us. When we were small we weren’t as tarnished, we were as whole as humans can be. Oh how easily things can change. This room created these monsters, the room we were born in. Our minds have mutated into machines that now can’t feel for others, we live past all these pushes, and pulls, pushes and pulls, and we feel…. nothing. We aren’t great, at least not how they would say great should be. But know this brother, we are something. Something i don’t quite know yet, but we are. We are the monsters people fear as we show them their truth, and then make them pay up on their bill. If people only knew what we did… they would convict us, but their convictions would not be right. Look around you, brothers, you may have forgotten, but this was that place that bore us. This was the place we become evil.

  16. Conviction.

    It’s hard to convince, hard to be convinced. Then why is conviction this important?

    It rules our relationships, our work, our lives.

    Convince yourself and there you go, that’s true conviction. Eureka!

  17. She lacked the conviction to ever stick to a diet. All good intentions wained at the site of any gastronomic display. She had more last suppers than the big man himself and her all or nothing mentality meant that she regularly consumed more calories than a gestational rhino.

  18. It’s hard to be convinced. It’s hard to convince.

    It rules your life, your relationships, your work.

  19. I must do this. Is it a compulsion? No, it is the absolute certainty that can only come from having tasted divinity directly. No one can stand before Him and not follow the Law…to see is to know, to be in the Truth.

  22. She said it with conviction – “No, Adam, I am not going with you. I am not moving one more time, just so that you can progress in your career. I am not going to do that!”

    “But Andrea, you can find work anywhere!”

    “Yes, but I am tired of rebuilding support systems every two years! Enough is enough!”

    be proud.

  24. She followed the case more closely than most. The other jurors considered her angles and detailed thoughts, nudging and persuading them to reach his conviction. What else could she do in this most peculiar situation? She had a secret the size of Jupiter.

  26. What’s conviction, it’s that feeling of needing to pursue your dreams. A strive to do more, it’s that little push you need to achieve great things, or even bad sometimes. Conviction, that’s what we all need to be better. A little trust, a little push.

  27. “i’m through.”

    it is said with conviction,
    these two words,
    bursting forth from your lips.

    angry eyes, wind struck hair.

    you have never looked more beautiful.

    “i’m through.”

    you’ll be back in a few hours.

  28. And if her conviction failed, what did she have left? Without her beliefs, who was she?
    And, even if she managed to accept that she had been so wrong about something she had thought so right, how was she ever to acknowledge that to anybody else?
    She thought, Without conviction, what else do you have? All these material belongings: money, food, clothing; do any of them mean anything without conviction?

  29. There is nothing I am not sure about. I often ponder about the infinite conclusions my mind can draw at. Powerful. Mighty. Fate is. There is you.

  30. Today, I was convicted of being the most horrible person ever to live. Not only do I say what I think bluntly and without regret, but I don’t even take into consideration how it may hurt other people. In my defense, I’m not one to take other people’s words too seriously, so why should they care about what I’ve got to say?
    On top of that, my mom told me that she’s getting tested for cancer tomorrow. I’m not sad. In fact, I’m a little bit relieved.

  31. Everyday I am constantly convicted of the sins that I commit. And Lord knows that I commit them daily, hourly, by the minute. But I am so blessed beyond belief with a merciful wonderful awesome God, who sent His son, His one and only son to die for my sins. I am nothing without my Saviour. Praise to my God who loves us. Even whilst we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

  32. This aint no place for the weary kind
    This aint no place to lose your mind
    This aint no place to be left behind
    Pick up your crazy heart and give it another try :)

  33. He has a strong conviction.
    Maybe that’s what I like so much about him.
    He just always seems to know where he’s going and he’s determined to get there somehow.
    That’s really attractive to me.
    I’ve just never met someone like that. Ever the optimist I suppose.

  34. The conviction of a person could mean the successful future or the utter demise of that person. Toaster strudel or bagel, milk or juice, wipe or no wipe, these decisions roll up in to a ball a l

  35. Its crazy to think how this can change your whole life. Conviction about anything can change everything. But this word is not really inspiring and I’m relatively exhausted so coming up with something brilliant about this word is really hard. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I wish the word was different.

  36. my head is like a prison how i do things with so much conviction

  37. I hated that my flaw used to be a lack of conviction. Maybe you could have believed me when I told you I loved you, if I was the speaker I was now, back then.

  38. Conviction has a good meaning and a bad meaning. Like if you get convicted of a crime, that sucks; but if you have conviction to a dream or ideal or principle then that’s great for you. maybe. unless you’re Hitler: he had immoral convictions of which he should have been convicted.

  39. I guess I have conviction. What is conviction? The solid resolve to do something. I lack that sometimes, its pathetic. Even so, I believe in the long run, in the big things, emotional and personal, I do have conviction. Love is one of those.

    Conviction weighs all the things I heard
    And before I make my grave
    Conviction will make of me a slave
