Quote by Aristotle

All proofs rest on premises.

All proofs rest on premises.

Summary

This quote suggests that in any logical argument or reasoning, all proofs rely on a set of assumptions, or premises, that are used as a foundation for the argument. These premises serve as the starting point from which the argument unfolds, and they are necessary to support the conclusion or proof. Without these initial premises, it becomes difficult to establish a sound and valid argument. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the fundamental role that premises play in constructing logical proofs.

It is amazing how soon one becomes accustomed to the sound of ones voice, when forced to repeat a speech five or six times a day. As election day approaches, the size of the crowds grows; they are more responsive and more interested; and one derives a certain exhilaration from that which, only a few weeks before, was intensely painful. This is one possible explanation of unlimited debate in the Senate.
