Famous quotes containing the word facts:

“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
