It is well known to all experienced minds that our firmest convictions are often dependent on subtle impressions for which words are quite too coarse a medium.

Summary

This quote suggests that our deepest convictions and beliefs often rely on subtle feelings or impressions that cannot be adequately expressed or communicated through words alone. Experienced individuals understand that there are certain aspects of our beliefs and convictions that go beyond language, and are best understood through internal experiences or intuition. Words, being a limited and imperfect medium, are unable to capture the intricate nuances and depth of our convictions, which often rest on intangible, subtle elements of our consciousness.
