Best Quotes about Facts

1.
A concept is stronger than a fact.
Gillman, Charlotte P.

2.
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

3.
Facts are counterrevolutionary.
Hoffer, Eric

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Never forget the facts are important but it's the opinion of the facts that causes comment.

7.
Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.
Mark Twain

8.
Facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other.
Faulkner, William

9.
Delete the adjectives and [you'll] have the facts.
Harper Lee

10.
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

11.
Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.
Genet, Jean

12.
Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.
Jawaharlal Nehru

13.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
John Adams

14.
The ultimate umpire of all things in life is -- fact.
Laut, Agnes C.

15.
The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.
Benjamin, Walter

16.
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

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

18.
One precedent creates another and they soon accumulate and constitute law. What yesterday was a fact, today is doctrine.
Junius

19.
We can have facts without thinking but we cannot have thinking without facts.
John Dewey

20.
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

21.
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say,Where? What? and turn away.
Rossetti, Christina

22.
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

23.
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.

24.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley

25.
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

26.
Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get them, get them right, or they will get you wrong.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

27.
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

28.
Facts in books, statistics in encyclopedias, the ability to use them in men's heads.
Brackell, Fogg

29.
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Bacon, Francis

30.
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

31.
Where facts are few, experts are many.
Donald R. Gannon

32.
He is indebted to his memory for his jests and to his imagination for his facts.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan

33.
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

34.
People can refute your facts, but never your feelings.
Bower, Sharon Anthony

35.
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.

36.
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

37.
There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

38.
The sky is not less blue because the blind man does not see it.
Proverb, Danish

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Our esteem for facts has not neutralized in us all religiousness. It is itself almost religious. Our scientific temper is devout.
James, William

42.
The trouble with facts is that there are so many of them.
Samuel McChord Crothers

43.
Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by a head that already understands and knows.
Carlyle, Thomas

44.
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.

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Comment is free but facts are sacred.
Scott, Charles Prestwich

48.
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious -- because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Carnegie, Dale

49.
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

50.
The fatal futility of Fact.
James, Henry
