Convictions that outcomes are determined by one's own actions can be either demoralizing or heartening, depending on the level of self-judged efficacy. People who regard outcomes as personally determined, but who lack the requisite skills, would experience low self-efficacy and view the activities with a sense of futility.

It is commonly said that if rational argument is so seldom the cause of conviction, philosophical apologists must largely be wasting their shot. The premise is true, but the conclusion does not follow. For though argument does not create conviction, the lack of it destroys belief. What seems to be proved may not be embraced; but what no one shows the ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish.
Austin Farrer
Faith is the 'yes' of the heart, a conviction on which one stakes one's life.
Martin Luther
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions; Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers

I believed and to this day still believe in our people's eternal and historic right to this entire land.
Ehud Olmert
