Facts

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
Facts Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Facts

1.
Where facts are few, experts are many.
Donald R. Gannon

2.
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

3.
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.

4.
Facts in books, statistics in encyclopedias, the ability to use them in men's heads.
Brackell, Fogg

5.
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.

6.
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

7.
Facts are the most important thing in business. Study facts and do more than is expected of you.
Ecker, Frederick Hudson

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

9.
Count Hermann Keyserling once said truly that the greatest American superstition was belief in facts.
John Gunther

10.
People can refute your facts, but never your feelings.
Bower, Sharon Anthony

11.
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

12.
The ultimate umpire of all things in life is -- fact.
Laut, Agnes C.

13.
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

14.
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

15.
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say,Where? What? and turn away.
Rossetti, Christina

16.
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

17.
We can have facts without thinking but we cannot have thinking without facts.
John Dewey

18.
The sky is not less blue because the blind man does not see it.
Proverb, Danish

19.
There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

24.
The fatal futility of Fact.
James, Henry

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.
Genet, Jean

28.
It may be said with a degree of assurance that not everything that meets the eye is as it appears.
Serling, Rod

29.
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

30.
Facts don't cease to exist because they are ignored.
Huxley, Aldous

31.
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

32.
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

33.
The trouble with facts is that there are so many of them.
Samuel McChord Crothers

34.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley

35.
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

36.
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

37.
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

38.
Comment is free but facts are sacred.
Scott, Charles Prestwich

39.
Delete the adjectives and [you'll] have the facts.
Harper Lee

40.
Now, what I want is, facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!
Dickens, Charles

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

42.
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious -- because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Carnegie, Dale

43.
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

44.
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

45.
A concept is stronger than a fact.
Gillman, Charlotte P.

46.
To some lawyers, all facts are created equal.
Frankfurter, Felix

47.
Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by a head that already understands and knows.
Carlyle, Thomas

48.
Never forget the facts are important but it's the opinion of the facts that causes comment.

49.
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Bacon, Francis

50.
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
