You know that I am living proof that the American Dream is real. Growing up, our congressman cut through government bureaucratic red tape to help my mom buy our first house. That’s the kind of congressman I’ll be.

In the 1880s, people all over the world looked to America for inspiration. Its very existence was proof that it was possible to have a relatively free and peaceful country. No income tax, no foreign wars, no welfare state, no intrusions on civil liberties.

I heard Idles and was like this is all I want to work on, this is all I want to do, these guys are the best. I got into their DMs and told them that and luckily we got to meet and the proof is in the pudding.

In the choice between changing ones mind and proving there’s no need to do so, most people get busy on the proof.

I think a group and a solo attract people in different ways, which I believe is a proof that the mass is looking for the more varying types of music.

I made an urban-looking bicycle that could stand up to potholes. Of course, it was stolen instantly – proof of the genius of its design.

I am falsely accused, without proof, of using my position for personal profit. Many who accuse me have lifestyles and spending habits that make them walking proofs of that crime.

I will give a proof to demonstrate with facts that there are no rules in painting and that oppression or servile obligation of making all study or follow the same path is a great impediment for the young who profess this very difficult art.

So many people are alleging so many things without evidence against Modi. That itself is proof that he is not a dictator.

Publishing is a business. It’s about squeezing every last dollar out of every available source, and the most vulnerable source is the author. No clearer proof of that exists than the ‘standard’ book contract.

You hit road blocks in life, but I’m living proof that you can overcome those road blocks and become what you want to become.

There are a lot of people who consider themselves ‘spiritual,’ but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I don’t really talk about it that often, because there’s too much talk in the world. Especially with Christians, there’s more proselytizing than there is actual living proof of it. That’s kind of sad.

There is a fluency and an ease with which true mastery and expertise always expresses itself, whether it be in writing, whether it be in a mathematical proof, whether it be in a dance that you see on stage, really in every domain. But I think the question is, you know, where does that fluency and mastery come from?

I said in October of 2008 that there was no proof that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or had the intention or capability of attacking the United States. Here we are. Almost 4,700 troops died, tens of thousands injured, over a million Iraqis dead. It will cost $5 trillion in the end for the war.

There is no doubt Assad deserves every missile we fire at him, but there’s one big problem with air strikes – there is absolutely no proof it has any deterrent effect on Assad. To the contrary, history tells us these strikes will most likely quicken the pace of his assault on his own people.

The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it.

I’m living proof that you can make it out of the ghetto.

The geysers and hot springs of the Yellowstone are another proof of recent volcanic activity.

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

The discovery of HIV in 1983 and the proof that it was the cause of AIDS in 1984 were the first major scientific breakthroughs that provided a specific target for blood-screening tests and opened the doorway to the development of antiretroviral medications.

A proof of really great art is that it is generally true – it seldom falls into the misapprehensions to which minor art is liable.

Entrepreneurship can be taught to people with average academic abilities – the proof of that is everywhere you look.

Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it.

I’m the proof – you can’t throw away tradition.

America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.

Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him.

I’m living, breathing proof that you can be anything you want to be.

A well-functioning microfinance bank can actually be a profitable business as well. So it became a perfect proof point that, through business, you can provide an experience that leads to individual self-empowerment.

The moment a man begins to talk about technique that’s proof that he is fresh out of ideas.

You can’t tell me that dreams don’t come true. My life is proof that they do.

I mean the word proof not in the sense of the lawyers, who set two half proofs equal to a whole one, but in the sense of a mathematician, where half proof = 0, and it is demanded for proof that every doubt becomes impossible.

If you’re looking to grow your user base, is there a best way to cost-effectively attract valuable users? I’m increasingly convinced the best way is by harnessing a concept called social proof, a relatively untapped gold mine in the age of the social web.

I’m living proof that you can create your own life.

I think since I’m not particularly well-known as myself, it’s funny all the different perceptions people have of me. Like, if someone’s only seen me in ‘Death Proof,’ they think I’m sort of a ditzy girl who says stupid things and wears revealing outfits all the time.

I’m living proof that there’s no age limit to rapping.

If any further proof were needed that the Liberal Democrats live up to neither part of their name, then the treatment of Roman Catholic Robert Flello would have provided it. They were glad enough to have him when he defected from Labour but have now deselected him because he supports neither abortion nor gay marriage.

In the final analysis, terror is also another proof of the fact that the superpower is not really a superpower. It was vulnerable.

The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
