a very popular error: having the courage of one’s convictions—
Rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one’s convictions!!!
–Nietzsche, from Beyond Good and Evil
Another way to say it, that I read some years ago was this:
It’s not enough to have the courage of your convictions. You have to have the courage to have your convictions challenged.
