probable
Those mothers are wise who seek to prepare their daughters for their probable destination. [ Solon ]
Thou tell'st me there is murder in my eye: 'tis pretty, sure, and very probable that eyes - that are the frailest and softest things, who shut their coward gates on atomies - should be called tyrants, butchers, murderers! [ William Shakespeare ]
Those that are the loudest in their threats are the weakest in the execution of them. In springing a mine, that which has done the most extensive mischief makes the smallest report; and again, if we consider the effect of lightning, it is probable that he that is killed by it hears no noise; but the thunderclap which follows, and which I most alarms the ignorant, is the surest proof of their safety. [ Colton ]
