Facts Quotes

Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house Picture Quote #1

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness Picture Quote #1

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge. Observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil Picture Quote #1

Once I had all the facts in, I found I didn't have the immoral courage to pull the caper. So I wrote it as a story. As a teenager, I didn't have any skills for writing as such, so it came out in 1500 words Picture Quote #1

I think that if the novel's task is to describe where we find ourselves and how we live now, the novelist must take a good, hard look at the most central facts of contemporary life technology and science Picture Quote #1

I first got involved with ending world hunger, and I got hip to the facts about it - what a huge problem it was and how it wasn't a matter of not having food or not knowing how to end it, but it was a matter of creating the political will Picture Quote #1

To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust Picture Quote #1

I hate facts. I always say the chief end of man is to form general propositions - adding that no general proposition is worth a damn Picture Quote #1

The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts live Picture Quote #1

Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed Picture Quote #1

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble Picture Quote #1

You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. Stick to facts, sir! Picture Quote #1

Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot free and ignores the environmental cost Picture Quote #1

The English are always degrading truths into facts. When a truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value Picture Quote #1

As for gun control advocates, I have no hope whatever that any facts whatever will make the slightest dent in their thinking - or lack of thinking Picture Quote #1

The nice thing about the Bible is it doesn't give you too many facts. Two an a half lines and it tells you the whole story and that leaves you a great deal of freedom to elaborate on how it might have happened Picture Quote #1

My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever Picture Quote #1

It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom Picture Quote #1

Reality is not exhausted by knowledge. Inaccessible to research are the ultimate facts. All scientific conclusions are based on axioms, all reasoning depends ultimately upon faith. Faith is virgin thinking, preceding all transcendent knowledge. To believe is to abide at the extremities of spirit Picture Quote #1

I have always wanted to deal with everyone I meet candidly and honestly. If I have made any assertion not warranted by facts, and it is pointed out to me, I will withdraw it cheerfully Picture Quote #1

While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take it's course Picture Quote #1

Somewhere we taught ourselves that our opinions are more significant than the facts. And somehow we get our egos and our opinions and Truth all mixed up in a single package, so that when something does challenge one of the notions to which we subscribe, we react as if it challenges us Picture Quote #1

Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division, and from the antagonism between poor and rich, means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts Picture Quote #1

My spirit is no longer what it was. Vaguely I seek, everywhere. I must see things with all their consequences, and right to their source. Against all the chains of facts I must have long arguments to bring; and the world's chaos requires an interpretation equally terrible Picture Quote #1

The facts are to blame, my friend. We are all imprisoned by facts: I was born, I exist Picture Quote #1

We cannot deny the facts of nature, but we should certainly try to improve on them Picture Quote #1

People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe Picture Quote #1

I am more the inspirational type of speller. I work on hunches rather than mere facts, and the result is sometimes open to criticism by purists Picture Quote #1
