Famous quotes with Presumptive evidence

  • Post-Watergate morality, by which anything left private is taken as presumptive evidence of wrongdoing.
    Charles Krauthammer
  • The truth seems to be, that like many other geniuses, this Man of Mosses takes great delight in hoodwinking the world, — at least, with respect to himself.

    Herman Melville
