Famous quotes containing the word facts:

    “It is not an arbitrary “decree of God,” but in the nature of man, that a veil shuts down on the facts of to-morrow; for the soul will not have us read any other cipher than that of cause and effect. By this veil, which curtains events, it instructs the children of men to live in to-day.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Well, intuition isn’t much help in police work. Facts are what we need.”
    —Crane Wilbur (1889–1973)

    “The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
