About This Quote

In his book, The Courage to Teach, Chester E. Finn said that there is no one more courageous than the person who speaks with the courage of his convictions. Even when he is found out to be wrong, the person with his convictions will continue to speak. It is a trait that is not always seen or recognized in society today.
