Proving one's freedom will often mean insisting on the most arbitrary, odd, unrepeatable aspects of one's behavior.
Ermanno Bencivenga
Image
Proving people wrong is probably my favorite thing to do.
Zooey Deschanel
Image
Proving yourself in a field where the casualty rate is so notoriously high is an ongoing challenge.
Richard E. Grant
Image
In a world in which the price of calculation continues to decrease rapidly, but the price of theorem proving continues to hold steady or increase, elementary economics indicates that we ought to spend a larger and larger fraction of our time on calculation.
John Tukey
Image
By establishing a social policy that keeps physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia illegal but recognizes exceptions, we would adopt the correct moral view: the onus of proving that everything had been tried and that the motivation and rationale were convincing would rest on those who wanted to end a life.
Ezekiel Emanuel
Image
I now add, farther, that the apostles argument is so far from proving it to be the duty of people to obey, and submit to, such rulers as act in contradiction to the public good, and so to the design of their office, that it proves the direct contrary.
Jonathan Mayhew

For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin. I just enjoy calculating, and it's an instrument I know how to play. It's almost an athletic performance, in a way. I was just watching the Olympics, and that's how I feel when proving a theorem.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Metaphysics is the science of proving what we don't understand.
Josh Billings
Image
Mathematics consists in proving the most obvious thing in the least obvious way.
George Polya

At the end of the day government is about teamwork and partnership and we will be proving that by working together.
Julia Gillard
Image
I've always intended to eventually make films. I've always been very aware of tone and shots. But documentaries are a great proving ground for me.
George Ratliff
Image
Without computers we will be stuck only proving theorems that have short proofs.
Kenneth Appel
Image
You must learn to stop thinking in terms of beginnings and endings, successes and failures, and begin to treat everything in your life as a learning experience instead of a proving one.
Guy Finley
Image
I like the Growth and Opportunity Project. These are good conservative values, proving the core of the GOP is just that: conservative.
L. Brent Bozell, Jr.
Image
A peculiarity of the higher arithmetic is the great difficulty which has often been experienced in proving simple general theorems which had been suggested quite naturally by numerical evidence.
Harold Davenport
Image
Even by proving that a certain view is indispensable for living well, one proves merely that the view in question is a salutary myth: one does not prove it to be true.
Leo Strauss
Image
As far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a means of understanding which cannot be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It is a way of life.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Image
Life's a forge - Yes, and hammer and anvil, too. You'll be roasted, smelted, and pounded, and you'll scarce know what's happening to you. But stand proudly to it. Metal's worthless till it is shaped and tempered. More labor than luck. Face the pounding, don't fear the proving and you'll stand well against any hammer and anvil.
Lloyd Alexander
Image
Guessing before proving! Need I remind you that it is so that all important discoveries have been made?
Henri Poincare
Image
Negroes don't even like snails! What they're doing is proving they're integrated.
Malcolm X
Image
When Americans invade Iraq, Bush says, we will be greeted as liberators by the Iraqi people, proving that taking out Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do.
Howard Fineman
Image
The key that opens that door is proving to the American public that illegal immigration is under control. And at this point, that argument cannot be made because it is not true, it is not under control.
Marco Rubio
Image
My countrymen, I am wholeheartedly thankful to you today for proving that change isn't coming but it has ALREADY COME!
Imran Khan
Image
I don't think that I'm the smartest guy around, so I'm better off to keep my mouth shut as much as I can rather than opening my mouth and proving to people that I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm more of a leader by example than I am a preacher.
