Famous quotes containing the word proof:
“The insatiable thirst for everything which lies beyond, and which life reveals, is the most living proof of our immortality.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“The fact that several men were able to become infatuated with that latrine is truly the proof of the decline of the men of this century.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“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)
