“No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof.”
Henry David Thoreau
“A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven.”
Jean Chretien
“Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
“This is proof that we want to be known as the city of acceptance. I think these sorts of things mark the civilization of a city; they make it human. They build a sense of community and solidarity.”
Walter Veltroni
“I think that accepting things on faith without any proof can be cool, but it can also lead to damage. Sometimes religion can be a crutch, and sometimes it can help people. As the Bible says, 'By their fruits ye shall know them.' If the results are good, fine. But if a religion results in people getting hurt, I have a problem with it.”
Daniel Roselle
“I think it's really fascinating that geometry is so difficult. My guess is it's difficult because it focuses on proofs.”
