Claimed Proof

Famous quotes containing the words claimed and/or proof:

“To be claimed as good, though in an improper style, is at least better than being rejected as no good at all.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)

“The source of Pyrrhonism comes from failing to distinguish between a demonstration, a proof and a probability. A demonstration supposes that the contradictory idea is impossible; a proof of fact is where all the reasons lead to belief, without there being any pretext for doubt; a probability is where the reasons for belief are stronger than those for doubting.”
—Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686–1743)
