Famous quotes containing the word inference:

    “I shouldn’t want you to be surprised, or to draw any particular inference from my making speeches, or not making speeches, out there. I don’t recall any candidate for President that ever injured himself very much by not talking.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
