Proved Quotes (page 10)

This is my country,' Lefty said, and to prove it, he did a very American thing: he reached under the counter and produced a pistol. Jeffrey Eugenides
I am always amazed that so many people are concerned with wanting to be what they are not; What is the point of making yourself look ridiculous? You don't always have to pretend to be strong, there is no need to prove all the time that everything is going well, you shouldn't be concerned about what other people are thinking. Cry if you need to, it's good to cry out all your tears, because only then you will be able to smile again... Paulo Coelho
You think the end justifies the means, however vile. I tell you: the end is the means by which you achieve it. Today's step is tomorrow's life. Great ends cannot be attained by base means. You've proved that in all your social upheavals. The meanness and inhumanity of the means make you mean and inhuman and make the end unattainable. Wilhelm Reich
Margaret Cho quote: "Most conservatives also believe in the death penalty, but not..."
Most conservatives also believe in the death penalty, but not abortion, which proves they like to procrastinate. Margaret Cho
With these words Jake had let go of me. Which proved that he knew more about why I was leaving than even I did. I had believed that I was running away from what had happened. I did not know, not until I met Nicholas days later, that the whole time I was really running towards what was yet to be. Jodi Picoult
A. J. Jacobs quote: "Which just goes to prove. Not everybody can be Herman..."
Which just goes to prove. Not everybody can be Herman Cappachino. Whatever that means. A. J. Jacobs
It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise. Joseph Goebbels
This good fellowship - camaraderie - usually occurring through the similarity of pursuits is unfortunately seldom super-added to love between the sexes, because men and women associate, not in their labors but in their pleasures merely. Where, however, happy circumstances permit its development, the compounded feeling proves itself to be the only love which is strong as death - that love which many waters cannot quench, nor the floods drown, besides which the passion usually called by the... Thomas Hardy
Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted. Martin Luther
Judgement is the forbidden objectivization of the other person which destroys single-minded love. I am not forbidden to have my own thoughts about the other person, to realize his shortcomings, but only to the extent that it offers to me an occasion for forgiveness and unconditional love, as Jesus proves to me. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The concentration camps, by making death itself anonymous (making it impossible to find out whether a prisoner is dead or alive), robbed death of its meaning as the end of a fulfilled life. In a sense they took away the individual’s own death, proving that henceforth nothing belonged to him and he belonged to no one. His death merely set a seal on the fact that he had never existed. Hannah Arendt
Deeds that seemed unimportant at the time would prove to have been momentous; a tiny act of selfishness and unkindness or, conversely, an unconsidered act of generosity would become the measure of a human life Karen Armstrong
Alfred Hitchcock quote: "A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other..."
A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other than reality. Alfred Hitchcock
That Christ's Baptism was not a mere form, but the fulfilling of all righteousness, proves that He descended into the water burdened with our sins. Abraham Kuyper
...wherever the strength of a faith steps decisively into the foreground, we infer a certain weakness in its ability to demonstrate its truth, even the improbability of what it believes. We, too, do not deny that the belief “makes blessed,” but for that very reason we deny that the belief proves something—a strong belief which confers blessedness creates doubts about what it has faith in. It does not ground “truth.” It grounds a certain probability— delusion. Friedrich Nietzsche
