Prove

Famous quotes containing the word prove:

“Some day the soft Ideal that we wooed
Confronts us fiercely, foe-beset, pursued,
And cries reproachful: “Was it then my praise,
And not myself was loved? Prove now thy truth;
I claim of thee the promise of thy youth.””
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“An open foe may prove a curse,
But a pretended friend is worse.”
