Faith is an island proverb

 Faith is an island in the setting sun, But proof is the bottom line for everyone
  Paul Simon

 The bottom line is, we simply can't know yet; we don't have the conclusive proof.

 You have this thing you hang your faith on, this little bit of proof. And then someone comes up with a naturalistic explanation that sounds perfectly reasonable, and all of a sudden that creates a faith crisis. I think that can be a dangerous thing. A healthy understanding of God's involvement doesn't hinge on a particular scientific proof.

 Some of the Cup guys trying to make the Chase are setting a good example right now of how it needs to be done. The bottom line is we have to run better than the No. 8 car.

 I told her we walk by faith and we're not perfect but the bottom line is I want to see her in heaven.

 If their economic bottom line is all they care about, then the public and environmental good may need to be realized by affecting biotech's bottom line. Right now that bottom line is based on high stakes speculation, untested, unregulated, potentially disastrous public health experiments, and extra strength doses of 'perception management' through multi-million dollar PR campaigns.

 The bottom line is I recommended that Tony Hall be appointed to the Treasure Island authority, ... Clearly, I made a mistake, and I take responsibility for that mistake, and I'm accountable for that mistake. Period.

 Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bog-gglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.
`Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets
himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
  Douglas Adams

 We talk about the social bottom line and the financial bottom line. A lot of investors would be willing to make a lesser return, but the record shows they don't have to.

 The bottom line is those guys are good. We had our chances, too, and couldn't put it away. The bottom line is they were the better team and did what they had to do. We had a few little mistakes and we've got to learn from those in the future.

 A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven.

 In the world of financial analytics, there is no better measure than impact to the bottom line. The challenge is how to translate the concept of sustainable development to the bottom line performance of a company.

 We can file this aggressive motion because we have proof that the spying program is illegal. The bottom line is the defendants have incriminated themselves -- President Bush admitted that he authorized and oversaw an illegal and unconstitutional program.

 The bottom line is, keep human food sources unavailable. It's simple --take care of your trash, put it in a bear-proof container, don't leave trash out at night, and if you have to leave it out, do it as close to pick-up time as possible.

 We can file this aggressive motion because we have proof that the spying program is illegal. The bottom line is the defendants have incriminated themselves - President Bush admitted that he authorized and oversaw an illegal and unconstitutional program.
