Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them. -
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

-
As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information. -
Benjamin Disraeli

-
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! -
Charles Dickens

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

-
What are your historical Facts; still more your biographical? Wilt thou know a man by stringing-together beadrolls of what thou namest Facts? -
Thomas Carlyle
|
-
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts. -
Francis Bacon

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

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

-
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. -
Augusto Roa Bastos

-
If you get all the facts, your judgment can be right; if you don't get all the facts, it can't be right. -
Bernard M Baruch
|
-
I grow daily to honor 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. -
Thomas Carlyle
|
-
Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get em, get em right, or they will get you wrong. -
Thomas Fuller
|
-
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. -
Lee Iacocca

-
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. -
Thomas H Huxley

-
A world of facts lies outside and beyond the world of words. -
Thomas H Huxley
