Famous quotes containing the words proof of, proof and/or correctness:

    There is no better proof of a man’s being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    The source of Pyrrhonism comes from failing to distinguish between a demonstration, a proof and a probability. A demonstration supposes that the contradictory idea is impossible; a proof of fact is where all the reasons lead to belief, without there being any pretext for doubt; a probability is where the reasons for belief are stronger than those for doubting.
    Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686–1743)

    With impressive proof on all sides of magnificent progress, no one can rightly deny the fundamental correctness of our economic system.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
