Facts

Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what the stars foretell, avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable verdict of history…. You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue. Get the facts! - Robert A. Heinlein

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. - Norman Vincent Peale

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. - John Adams

You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on. - Harry Truman

We should keep so close to facts that we never have to remember the second time what we said the first time. - F. Marion Smith

Any fact is better established by two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments. - Marie Dressler

A fact merely marks the point where we have agreed to let investigation cease. - William Bliss Carman

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

There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact. - Arthur Conan Doyle 

The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion. - Arnold H. Glasow
