Facts

A fact in itself is nothing. It is valuable only for the idea attached to it, or for the proof which it furnishes.

Best Quotes about Facts

1.
A fact is like a sack -- it won't stand up if it's empty. To make it stand up, first you have to put in it all the reasons and feelings that caused it in the first place.
Pirandello, Luigi

2.
Our esteem for facts has not neutralized in us all religiousness. It is itself almost religious. Our scientific temper is devout.
James, William

3.
It is not the facts which guide the conduct of men, but their opinions about facts; which may be entirely wrong. We can only make them right by discussion
Angell, Norman

4.
One of the most untruthful things possible, you know, is a collection of facts, because they can be made to appear so many different ways.
Menninger, Karl A.

5.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
Adams, John

6.
A concept is stronger than a fact.
Gillman, Charlotte P.

7.
Sit down before fact like a little child, and be prepared to give up every preconceived notion. Follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss Nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.
Huxley, Thomas H.

8.
Facts can't be recounted; much less twice over, and far less still by different persons. I've already drummed that thoroughly into your head. What happens is that your wretched memory remembers the words and forgets what's behind them.
Bastos, Augusto Roa

9.
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say,Where? What? and turn away.
Rossetti, Christina

10.
All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called facts. They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no facts at this table.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

11.
Facts in books, statistics in encyclopedias, the ability to use them in men's heads.
Brackell, Fogg

12.
One precedent creates another and they soon accumulate and constitute law. What yesterday was a fact, today is doctrine.
Junius

13.
Oh, don't tell me of facts -- I never believe facts: you know Canning said nothing was so fallacious as facts, except figures.
Smith, Sydney

14.
Comment is free but facts are sacred.
Scott, Charles Prestwich

15.
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

16.
Count Hermann Keyserling once said truly that the greatest American superstition was belief in facts.
John Gunther

17.
Facts are the most important thing in business. Study facts and do more than is expected of you.
Ecker, Frederick Hudson

18.
The facts: nothing matters but the facts: worship of the facts leads to everything, to happiness first of all and then to wealth.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

19.
The fatal futility of Fact.
James, Henry

20.
It is the spirit of the age to believe that any fact, no matter how suspect, is superior to any imaginative exercise, no matter how true.
Vidal, Gore

21.
My facts shall be falsehoods to the common sense. I would so state facts that they shall be significant, shall be myths or mythologies. Facts which the mind perceived, thoughts which the body thought -- with these I deal.
Thoreau, Henry David

22.
Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other; given the upper, to find the under side.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
Where facts are few, experts are many.
Donald R. Gannon

24.
We can have facts without thinking but we cannot have thinking without facts.
John Dewey

25.
She always says, my lord, that facts are like cows. If you look them in the face hard enough they generally run away.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

26.
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Bacon, Francis

27.
Facts are counterrevolutionary.
Hoffer, Eric

28.
Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.
Mark Twain

29.
Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.
Genet, Jean

30.
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious -- because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Carnegie, Dale

31.
What are your historical Facts; still more your biographical? Wilt thou know a man by stringing-together beadrolls of what thou namest Facts?
Carlyle, Thomas

32.
We should keep so close to facts that we never have to remember the second time what we said the first time.
Smith, F. Marion

33.
Facts don't cease to exist because they are ignored.
Huxley, Aldous

34.
General principles are not the less true or important because from their nature they elude immediate observation; they are like the air, which is not the less necessary because we neither see nor feel it.
Hazlitt, William

35.
Facts are ventriloquists dummies. Sitting on a wise man's knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom; elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism.
Huxley, Aldous

36.
The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.
Benjamin, Walter

37.
The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.
James, William

38.
The facts are always friendly, every bit of evidence one can acquire, in any area, leads one that much closer to what is true.
Rogers, Carl

39.
If you get all the facts, your judgment can be right; if you don't get all the facts, it can't be right.
Baruch, Bernard M.

40.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley

41.
Obviously the facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by an imagination that is formed by your previous experience. Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories of your imaginings of the facts.
Roth, Philip

42.
I have always found that if I move with seventy-five percent or more of the facts that I usually never regret it. It's the guys who wait to have everything perfect that drive you crazy.
Iacocca, Lee

43.
He is indebted to his memory for his jests and to his imagination for his facts.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan

44.
I'm not afraid of facts, I welcome facts but a congeries of facts is not equivalent to an idea. This is the essential fallacy of the so-called scientific mind. People who mistake facts for ideas are incomplete thinkers; they are gossips.
Ozick, Cynthia

45.
Facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other.
Faulkner, William

46.
Remember son, many a good story has been ruined by over verification.
Bennett, James Gordon

47.
There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

48.
It may be said with a degree of assurance that not everything that meets the eye is as it appears.
Serling, Rod

49.
Facts are generally overesteemed. For most practical purposes, a thing is what men think it is. When they judged the earth flat, it was flat. As long as men thought slavery tolerable, tolerable it was. We live down here among shadows, shadows among shadows.
Updike, John

50.
A fact in itself is nothing. It is valuable only for the idea attached to it, or for the proof which it furnishes.
Bernard, Claude
