We must have strong ordsprog

en We must have strong minds, ready to accept facts as they are
  Harry S Truman

en All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called ''facts.'' They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no ''facts'' at this table.
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

en Now, what I want is, facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!
  Charles Dickens

en People don't ask for facts in making up their minds. They would rather have one good, soul-satisfying emotion than a dozen facts.

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

en the segment presented to the American people facts they were free to accept or reject, and that as those facts were presented, there was nothing that was false or misleading.

en The Afghanistan leadership needs to make up their minds on many issues. They are not ready to accept the 3.1 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan, but on the other hand they want visa and passport reforms. They also don't want us to build a separation barrier along the border, but won't stop people from crossing into our country.

en It's a tribute to all the parents. The kids also remained strong to the program. We never lied to them. Facts are facts. We were honest about our situation.

en Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits. Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence. When minds meet, they don't just exchange facts: they transform them, reshape them, draw different implications from them, engage in new trains of thought. Conversation doesn't just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards.

en I said I hope they're ready for me; I won't step back and accept mediocrity. I won't accept being the sport between field hockey and softball.

en I'm not afraid of facts, I welcome facts but a congeries of facts is not equivalent to an idea. This is the essential fallacy of the so-called ''scientific'' mind. People who mistake facts for ideas are incomplete thinkers; they are gossips.
  Cynthia Ozick

en A man's death makes everything certain about him. Of course, secrets may die with him. And of course, a hundred years later somebody looking through some papers may discover a fact which throws a totally different light on his life and of which all the people who attended his funeral were ignorant. Death changes the facts qualitatively but not quantitatively. One does not know more facts about a man because he is dead. But what one already knows hardens and becomes definite. We cannot hope for ambiguities to be clarified, we cannot hope for further change, we cannot hope for more. We are now the protagonists and we have to make up our minds.
