Famous quotes containing the words allan and/or ramsay:

    Man’s real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    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)
