Famous quotes containing the words proof that, proof and/or irrational:
“He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. And if it be said, that continual success is a proof that a man wisely knows his powers,—it is only to be added, that, in that case, he knows them to be small.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“To cease to admire is a proof of deterioration.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“The irrational may be attractive in the abstract, but not in cab drives, dinner guests, or elderly relatives.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
