Proposition True

Famous quotes containing the words proposition and/or true:

    Whenever a man acts purposively, he acts under a belief in some experimental phenomenon. Consequently, the sum of the experimental phenomena that a proposition implies makes up its entire bearing upon human conduct.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    The reasons you allege do more conduce
    To the hot passion of distempered blood
    Than to make up a free determination
    ‘Twixt right and wrong; for pleasure and revenge
    Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice
    Of any true decision.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
