Facts have to be discovered by observation, not by reasoning.
Facts are precisely what is lacking, all that exists consists of interpretations.
Everything must be taken into account. If the fact will not fit the theory – let the theory go.
Book! you lie there; the fact is, you books must know your places. You’ll do to give us the bare words and facts, but we come in to supply the thoughts.
A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.
A man never gets anywhere if facts and his ledgers don’t square.
