Proof Quotes (page 8)

We can scarcely indeed look into any part of the sacred volume without meeting abundant proofs, that it is the religion of the Affections which God particularly requires. Love, Zeal, Gratitude, Joy, Hope, Trust, are each of them specified; and are not allowed to us as weaknesses, but enjoined on us as our bounden duty, and commended to us as our acceptable worship. William Wilberforce
Walt Whitman quote: "Lack one lacks both, and the unseen is proved by the seen,..."
Lack one lacks both, and the unseen is proved by the seen, Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn. Walt Whitman
Haruki Murakami quote: "It's good when food tastes good, it's kind of like proof..."
It's good when food tastes good, it's kind of like proof you're alive. Haruki Murakami
John Kenneth Galbraith quote: "Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving..."
Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving there is no need to do so, most people get busy on the proof. John Kenneth Galbraith
The course led them to the moment when, in answer to the highest of one's values, one's spirit makes one's body become the tribute, recasting it--as proof, as sanction, as reward--into a single sensation of such intensity of joy that no other sanction of one's existence is necessary. Ayn Rand
Love is by definition an unmerited gift; being loved without meriting it is the very proof of real love. If a woman tells me: I love you because you're intelligent, because you're decent, because you buy me gifts, because you don't chase women, because you do the dishes, then I'm disappointed; such love seems a rather self-interested business. How much finer it is to hear: I'm crazy about you even though you're neither intelligent nor decent, even though you're a liar, an egotist, a bastard. Milan Kundera
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation. Herbert Spencer
We both wondered whether these contradictions that one can't avoid if one begins to think of time and space may not really be proofs that the whole of life is a dream, and the moon and stars bits of nightmare. Arthur Machen
Colleen McCullough quote: "Belief doesn't rest on proof or existence...it rests on..."
Belief doesn't rest on proof or existence...it rests on faith...without faith there is nothing. Colleen McCullough
The very freedom which the sinner supposedly exercises in his self-indulgence is only another proof that he is ruled by the tyrant. Fulton J. Sheen
Grown people know that they do not always know the way of things, and even if they think they know, they do not know where and how they got the proof. Zora Neale Hurston
The test of man then is not, 'How have I believed?' but 'How have I loved?'. The final test of religion is not religiousness, but love: not what I have done, not what I have believed, not what I have achieved, but how I have discharged the common charities of life. Sins of commission in that awful indictment are not even referred to. By what we have not done, by sins of omission, we are judged. It could not be otherwise. For the withholding of love is the negation of the Spirit of Christ, the... Paulo Coelho
She was at the age when she looked as much like an overgrown boy as a girl. And on that subject why was it that the smartest people mostly missed that point? By nature all people are of both sexes. So that marriage and the bed is not all by any means. The proof? Real youth and old age. Because often old men's voices grow high and reedy and the take on a mincing walk. And old women sometimes grow fat and their voices get rough and deep and the grow dark little mustaches. Carson McCullers
Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point in human history? Dan Brown
DiMaggio's grace came to represent more than athletic skill in those years. To the men who wrote about the game, it was a talisman, a touchstone, a symbol of the limitless potential of the human individual. That an Italian immigrant, a fisherman's son, could catch fly balls the way Keats wrote poetry or Beethoven wrote sonatas was more than just a popular marvel. It was proof positive that democracy was real. On the baseball diamond, if nowhere else, America was truly a classless society.... David Halberstam
