Best Quotes about Facts

1.
There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

2.
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.

3.
A concept is stronger than a fact.
Gillman, Charlotte P.

4.
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious -- because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Carnegie, Dale

5.
Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.
Mark Twain

6.
Facts in books, statistics in encyclopedias, the ability to use them in men's heads.
Brackell, Fogg

7.
Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.
Jawaharlal Nehru

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.
Never forget the facts are important but it's the opinion of the facts that causes comment.

10.
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.

11.
Comment is free but facts are sacred.
Scott, Charles Prestwich

12.
Remember son, many a good story has been ruined by over verification.
Bennett, James Gordon

13.
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

14.
People can refute your facts, but never your feelings.
Bower, Sharon Anthony

15.
Facts are counterrevolutionary.
Hoffer, Eric

16.
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

17.
Where facts are few, experts are many.
Donald R. Gannon

18.
We can have facts without thinking but we cannot have thinking without facts.
John Dewey

19.
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

20.
Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get em, get em right, or they will get you wrong.
Fuller, Thomas

21.
Facts don't cease to exist because they are ignored.
Huxley, Aldous

22.
The fatal futility of Fact.
James, Henry

23.
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Bacon, Francis

24.
It may be said with a degree of assurance that not everything that meets the eye is as it appears.
Serling, Rod

25.
Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.
Genet, Jean

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.
Russell, Bertrand

29.
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

30.
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

31.
The ultimate umpire of all things in life is -- fact.
Laut, Agnes C.

32.
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.

33.
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

34.
If a man will kick a fact out of the window, when he comes back he finds it again in the chimney corner.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
Let us take things as we find them: let us not attempt to distort them into what they are not. We cannot make facts. All our wishing cannot change them. We must use them.
John Henry Cardinal Newman

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

37.
Our esteem for facts has not neutralized in us all religiousness. It is itself almost religious. Our scientific temper is devout.
James, William

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
He is indebted to his memory for his jests and to his imagination for his facts.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan

42.
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

43.
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

44.
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say,Where? What? and turn away.
Rossetti, Christina

45.
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

46.
Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by a head that already understands and knows.
Carlyle, Thomas

47.
The trouble with facts is that there are so many of them.
Samuel McChord Crothers

48.
Delete the adjectives and [you'll] have the facts.
Harper Lee

49.
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

50.
To some lawyers, all facts are created equal.
Frankfurter, Felix
