The pathetic almost always consists in the detail of little events.
Edward Gibbon
Measure three times before you cut once.
Proverb
Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
Ray Bradbury, From the foreward
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, Where? What? and turn away.
Christina Rossetti
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People can refute your facts, but never your feelings.
Sharon Anthony Bower
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Francis Bacon
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.
Henry David Thoreau
Remember son, many a good story has been ruined by over verification.
James Gordon Bennett

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

Carl R. Rogers
Facts are ventriloquist's dummies. Sitting on a wise man's knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom; elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense.
Aldous Huxley
Oh, don't tell me of facts -- I never believe facts: you know Canning said nothing was so fallacious as facts, except figures.
Sydney Smith
Facts have a cruel way of substituting themselves for fancies. There is nothing more remorseless, just as there is nothing more helpful, than truth.
William C. Redfield
One of the most untruthful things possible, you know, is a collection of facts, because they can be made to appear so many different ways.
Karl Menninger
Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo Buonarroti
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.
John Updike
