Famous quotes containing the word prove:
“As kings are begotten and born like other men, it is to be presumed that they are of the human species; and perhaps, had they the same education, they might prove like other men. But, flattered from their cradles, their hearts are corrupted, and their heads are turned, so that they seem to be a species by themselves.... Flattery cannot be too strong for them; drunk with it from their infancy, like old drinkers, they require dreams.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The Moor—howbeit that I endure him not—
Is of a constant, loving, noble nature,
And I dare think he’ll prove to Desdemona
A most dear husband.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is a truer truth, it is better and fairer news, and no time will ever shame it, or prove it false.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
