Famous quotes containing the word proof:

    “There are some persons in this world, who, unable to give better proof of being wise, take a strange delight in showing what they think they have sagaciously read in mankind by uncharitable suspicions of them.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Ah! I have penetrated to those meadows on the morning of many a first spring day, jumping from hummock to hummock, from willow root to willow root, when the wild river valley and the woods were bathed in so pure and bright a light as would have waked the dead, if they had been slumbering in their graves, as some suppose. There needs no stronger proof of immortality. All things must live in such a light. O Death, where was thy sting? O Grave, where was thy victory, then?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
