A sentence of death and infamy was often founded on the slight and suspicious evidence of a child or a servant: the guilt [of the defendant] was presumed by the judges [due to the nature of the charge], and paederasty became the crime of those to whom no crime could be imputed. — Edward Gibbon

Well, at this point, I think, we have to conclude that there is a universal opposition to any peace arrangement that involves a recognition of any Russian success. In fact, if anything, it looks more and more as though Ukrainians are almost incidental to the operation, in the sense that they are there to impale themselves on the Russian army and die in great numbers. Because the real goal of this entire thing is the destruction of the Russian state and Vladimir Putin. And no one is prepared to stop anything as long as there is the slightest hope that something terrible will happen to Russia and to Putin. Of course, I don't see much evidence that that's going to be the case, but it doesn’t really matter here. Everyone has universally signed on for the Russian hate campaign, or hatred for Russia campaign, and that seems to go on regardless of what is reported. And frankly, the absence of much truth and reporting and a lot of wishful thinking in its place is hard to overestimate or exaggerate. It’s terrible. — Douglas Macgregor
The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a 'mouse.' There is no evidence that people want to use these things. — John C. Dvorak
Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, , but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.

And if a change is meaningful, it is actually big. That's the paradox of making small improvements. — James Clear
But lack of evidence, if indeed evidence is lacking, is no grounds for atheism.

...the incontrovertible evidence is that Hitler ordered on November 30, 1941, that there was to be 'no liquidation of the Jews.' — David Irving

No evidence compels the conclusion that the minimum required intake of any vitamin comes close to the optimum intake that sustains good health. — Linus Pauling
The Church is the dwelling place of God in the Person of the Holy Ghost.
Where the Church thrives, people are blessed and progress is evident. Where there is no Church, people feed their babies to crocodiles and roam naked in the jungles. — Oliver B. Greene
There is no evidence for a god, no coherent definition of a god, no good argument for a god, good positive arguments against a god, no agreement among believers about the nature or moral principles of a god, and no need for a god.

The Cross is the ultimate evidence that there is no length the love of God will refuse to go in effecting reconciliation. — R. Kent Hughes
If Christians continue to rely on emotion and ignore evidence, they will continue to lose their children to secularism.

Today's culture is becoming increasingly anti-Christian. — Frank Turek
Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will. — Georg C. Lichtenberg
