Choose a letter: 
To this day, I do not believe that five million were killed. I consider it technically impossible that could have happened. I do not believe it. I have not received proof of that up until now.
Julius Streicher, Soldier (1885-1946)
In a private room he showed me the first specimens of gold, that is he was not certain if it was gold or not, but he thought it might be; immediately I made the proof and found that it was gold.
John Sutter, American Celebrity (1809-1880)

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.
D. Elton Trueblood, Educator
The prosecutor, who is supposed to carry the burden of proof, really is an author.
Scott Turow, American Novelist (1949-  )
The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.
Paul Valery, French Poet (1871-1945)
I worked every day there, so I knew all the details. But I needed only some proof. So the proof was photos.

The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years. So even if I was on the right track, I could be living in the wrong century.
Andrew Wiles, English Mathematician (1953-  )
It could be that the methods needed to take the next step may simply be beyond present day mathematics. Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years.
Andrew Wiles, English Mathematician (1953-  )
Fermat said he had a proof.
Andrew Wiles, English Mathematician (1953-  )
I don't believe Fermat had a proof. I think he fooled himself into thinking he had a proof.
Andrew Wiles, English Mathematician (1953-  )
Never preach a sermon without a text from the Bible, a text containing the theme which you can elaborate. The text is the best proof in support of your argument. A sermon without a text is an argument without a proof.
Isaac Mayer Wise, American Clergyman (1819-1900)
Throughout our courtship, Kenny told me that he had proof that Saddam Hussein was a threat because he possessed weapons of mass destruction. I told him, 'You had me at weapons.'
