Prove

Famous quotes containing the word prove:

“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poet’s pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
They’ll say it’s stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

“Make me to see’t, or at the least so prove it
That the probation bear no hinge nor loop
To hang a doubt on.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“It doesn’t prove anything, it doesn’t tell anything.”
—Théophile Gautier (1811–1872)
