You will be a failure until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which 'clicks.'
A man of conviction is often more to be desired than a man of experience.
Never for the sake of peace and quiet deny your own experience or convictions.
The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe with a conviction based on experience that you can fool all of the people all of the time.

Conviction without experience makes for harshness.
Democracy not only requires equality but also an unshakable conviction in the value of each person who is then equal.
It was the full conviction of this and of what could be done if every man were placed in the office for which he was fitted by nature and a proper education which first suggested to me the plan of Illumination.
I can say without affectation that I belong to the Russian convict world no less than I do to Russian literature. I got my education there and it will last forever.
