Quote by William Cowper

Absence of proof is not proof of absence.


Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Summary

This quote highlights the concept that just because there is a lack of evidence or proof for something, it does not necessarily indicate that it does not exist or is not true. The absence of proof cannot be automatically taken as evidence or confirmation that something does not exist or did not happen. It emphasizes the need for proper investigation and thorough evidence before drawing conclusions or making assertions.
