So I think it's important to communicate with the people in terms of what the real facts are on these proposals and try to have a discussion and a dialogue that gives people information. I think they're hungry for that rather than just political rhetoric.

Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.

Science is facts.

The mathematical facts worthy of being studied are those which, by their analogy with other facts, are capable of leading us to the knowledge of a physical law.

Just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts.

Facts do not speak.

Scientia is knowledge. It is only in the popular mind that it is equated with facts.

My reading is extremely eclectic. Lately I've been teaching myself computer graphics, so I'm reading a lot about that. I read books of trivia, of facts.

We need to ask our policy makers and those we elect to office who are supposed to make decisions to give us the evidence of the facts that are behind the decisions that we make. We should be skeptical.

Facts are stubborn things.

I knew the wild riders and the vacant land were about to vanish forever... and the more I considered the subject, the bigger the forever loomed. Without knowing how to do it, I began to record some facts around me, and the more I looked the more the panorama unfolded.

As far as I know, only a small minority of mathematicians, even of those with Platonist views, accept the idea that there may be mathematical facts which are true but unknowable.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

The facts are always friendly, every bit of evidence one can acquire, in any area, leads one that much closer to what is true.

People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe.

Claims of right and insistence upon obligations may depend upon treaty stipulations, or upon the rules of international law, or upon the sense of natural justice applied to the circumstances of a particular case, or upon disputed facts.

I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence, not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in; we have to do with sober, sad realities, with stubborn facts.

I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, 'Where? What?' and turn away.
