The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

The most beautiful phrase uttered by Gin Rummy in The Boondocks. A phrase you should live your life around and follow for the rest of your life.
Riley: So y'all was in Iraq together?
Gin: Yeah, we was in Iraq
Riley: What did you do?
Gin: We was lookin for weapons of mass destruction
Riley: Did you ever find them?
Gin: You know goddamn we ain't find 'em. What are you some kind of political humorist ? You care to toe up in this bitch?!!
Ed: I was lookin for bitches, but they had the carpet shit all over 'em, and I couldn't see what they look like. All that was really exposed was they eyes and that wasn't really enough for me cause you know; shit I'm lookin at they eyes, and

I take they carpet off and then I got a tragedy.

Gin: Well naw we ain't find 'em. But I always say the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

Riley: What?
Gin: Simply because you don't have evidence that something does exist, does not mean that you have evidence that something doesn't exist
Riley: What?
Gin: What country you from?
Riley: What?
Gin: What ain't no country I ever heard of they speak English in what?!!
Riley: What?
GIn: English, mothafucka!!!! Do you speak it?!!
Riley: Yeah
Gin: So you understand what I'm sayin to you?!!
Riley: Yeah

Gin: So what I'm sayin is there are known knowns and known unknowns, but there's also unknown unknowns, things that we don't know!!
Riley: What?
Gin: Say what again!!! Say what again!! I dare you!! I double dare you mothafucka!!! Say what one moe time!!!
