Famous quotes containing the words facts and/or figures:

    “It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)

    “The human heart concerns us more than the poring into microscopes, and is larger than can be measured by the pompous figures of the astronomer.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
