A concept is stronger than a fact.

A concept is stronger than a fact.

Summary

This quote suggests that an idea or concept can have more significant impact and influence than a mere factual statement. While facts provide information, concepts hold the power to shape perspectives, beliefs, and actions. Concepts can transcend the boundaries of time and space, inspire imagination, foster understanding, and bring about meaningful change. They have the ability to rally people together and create profound shifts in society. Therefore, this quote emphasizes that the power of a concept lies in its ability to shape the way we perceive and interact with the world.

Life is extraordinarily suave and sweet with certain natural, witty, affectionate people who have unusual distinction and are capable of every vice, but who make a display of none in public and about whom no one can affirm they have a single one.
