Lord Ramsay

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or ramsay:

    I’ve never laid a cane on the back of a lord before, but if you force me to I shall speedily become used to the practice.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    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)
