Famous quotes containing the word proof:
“He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. And if it be said, that continual success is a proof that a man wisely knows his powers,it is only to be added, that, in that case, he knows them to be small.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“To cease to admire is a proof of deterioration.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
“a meek humble Man of modest sense,
Who preaching peace does practice continence;
Whose pious lifes a proof he does believe,
Mysterious truths, which no Man can conceive.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (16471680)
