Proposition True

Famous quotes containing the words proposition and/or true:

“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)

“To love another ... is, to stand in a true relation to him, so that we give the best to, and receive the best from, him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
