Quotations regarding 'Facts'

Choose a letter: 
The fundamental laws of physics do not describe true facts about reality. Rendered as descriptions of facts, they are false; amended to be true, they lose their explanatory force.
Nancy Cartwright, American Actress (1957-  )
Advocates of unrestricted abortion do not want the public to focus on these undeniable facts of fetal development, but the facts cannot be ignored.
Robert Casey, American Politician (1932-2000)
The facts will speak for themselves. Credit them or not, but read!
Ralph Chaplin, American Activist
You may have read that I went to M.I.T. In 1982 I filled out a Who's Who survey with joking responses, and they never bothered to check the facts.
Chevy Chase, American Comedian (1943-  )
The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts.
Samuel Chase, American Judge (1741-1811)
How, possibly, could the police have made the 'mistake' of charging the wrong man with the notorious Red Light Bandit crimes? That also is something that is fully revealed in the Pandora's Box of facts I have prepared.
Caryl Chessman, American Celebrity (1921-1960)
I am sorry to upset my colleagues by saying we wasted four years in opposition, but if you do get so badly defeated as a party you do have to face up to some painful facts and you do have to change.
Kenneth Clarke, English Politician (1940-  )
Looking back 25 years later, what I may say is that the facts have been far better than the dreams. In the long course of cell life on this earth it remained, for our age for our generation, to receive the full ownership of our inheritance.
Albert Claude, Belgian Scientist (1899-1983)
I am appreciative of the Bush administration's commitment to fair trade by looking at the facts in this case and ruling affirmatively for the implementation of quotas in this specific category.
Howard Coble, American Politician (1931-  )
In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant. One motto on the show is, 'Keep your facts, I'm going with the truth.'
Stephen Colbert, American Comedian (1964-  )
Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don't know whether it's a new thing, but it's certainly a current thing, in that it doesn't seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
Stephen Colbert, American Comedian (1964-  )
It is intellectually dishonest to look backwards with all the facts and judge the decisions that were made with almost none of the facts, or the facts that existed hidden in the normal cloud of endless speculation of what might happen.
Norm Coleman, American Politician (1949-  )
General principles... are to the facts as the root and sap of a tree are to its leaves.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, English Poet (1772-1834)
He has a number of curious facts in illustration of the power of mere goodness to protect against outrage.
George Combe, American Educator (1788-1858)
We used to speak familiarly of an agent, now do more, who was accustomed to manufacture evidence, and to invent facts in his cases, or at least to alter the aspects of facts to such an extent that they might fairly be viewed as new.
George Combe, American Educator (1788-1858)
The AEC scientists were so narrowly focused on arming the United States for nuclear war that they failed to perceive facts - even widely known ones - that were outside their limited field of vision.
Barry Commoner, American Scientist (1917-  )
Show me a better man. Name one and I am answered; but do not point, as a disqualification, to the very facts which make this man fit beyond all others.
Roscoe Conkling, American Politician (1829-1888)
The imaginations which people have of one another are the solid facts of society.
Charles Horton Cooley, American Sociologist
The police had already found the cartridges and the rifles and the bag in the Texas School Depository and within a half an hour, those facts were known.
John Sherman Cooper, American Politician (1901-1991)
The intelligence investigation under the leadership of Senator Church, which I know has helped cause this investigation by you, points out that the agencies did not disclose certain facts to us and that certain plots were going on.
John Sherman Cooper, American Politician (1901-1991)
