| Quote:Surely what a man does when he is caught off his guard is the best evidence as to what sort of man he is.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Don't join the book burners. Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted: precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by Homo Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.[George Eliot] Quote:What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:The history of our race, and each individual's experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal. [Mark Twain] Quote:It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Faith must have adequate evidence, else it is mere superstition. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. [John Adams] Definitions of: evidenceDefinition: That which makes evident or manifest; that which furnishes, or tends to furnish, proof; any mode of proof; the ground of belief or judgement; as, the evidence of our senses; evidence of the truth or falsehood of a statement.Definition: One who bears witness. Definition: That which is legally submitted to competent tribunal, as a means of ascertaining the truth of any alleged matter of fact under investigation before it; means of making proof; -- the latter, strictly speaking, not being synonymous with evidence, but rather the effect of it. |
