“Without conviction, influence has little weight. It is personal conviction which allows us to find the words necessary to introduce it into the minds of our hearers.
All apostles have been persuaded of the truth of their belief, and, if some among them have been leaders of the multitude, it is because they taught a doctrine in which they themselves believed and because their discourse spread around them a radiance of fervor, which, far better than enthusiasm, can fill men’s souls and influence them.” – Yoritomo-Tashi, Japanese Shogun, 12th Century AD
How much personal conviction do you have?
