In 2008, as a matter of fact, I had people accusing me of being a Senator Obama supporter because I wouldn’t slam him. I said, ‘Well, consider the fact that I voted for impeachment for President Clinton, but it wasn’t a personal vote. I voted based on the facts and the law and the Constitution and what we were dealing with.

Get the facts, or the facts will get you

In Brazil, we think we can help by using our image, the fact that we are very well known, to help others. I think lots of footballers want to do something, but many don’t know how.

That stupid postmodern emphasis on image over content has slammed us right into a dramaturgy that willfully leaves the audience behind and then resents the fact that they don’t ‘get it.

For me, fantasy has always been a means of exploring reality: it explores the fact that your internal life, your dreams and the weird images and the things that come to you are things that are actually important tools for dealing with real issues.

What I feel that “Alice in Wonderland” did for me and other people in exploring your dream state, and using fantasy in your dream state to deal with real issues and problems in your life. People like to separate those things but the fact is that they are things that are intertwined.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

One of the reasons for conspiracy theories is an assumption that people in high places always know what they are doing. When they do something that makes no sense, devious reasons are imagined by conspiracy theorists, when in fact it may be due to plain old ignorance and incompetence

The key fallacy of so called gun control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available

The sad and tragic fact is that the civil rights movement, despite its honorable and courageous past, has over the years degenerated into a demagogic hustle, promoting the mindless racism they once fought against.

Fun fact, Jackson. You can’t see sound waves, but you can hear music.

Relevance is not something you can predict. It is something you discover after the fact

The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive

Since philosophy is a piece of human character, it merits a spot in the realm of endless facts.

The subject of limits is a significant inquiry of the Jewish individuals in light of the fact that the Jews are extraordinary specialists in intersection limits. They have a feeling of personality inside themselves that doesn’t allow them to cross limits with others.

The fact remains that we are invited to forget ourselves on purpose, cast our awful solemnity to the wind, and join in the general Dance

The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda – a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make ‘good’ citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens.

The fact is that the average man’s love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice, and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely.

Fact takes no heed of human hopes.

Cats are people, and the sooner the world accepts that fact, the better off the world will be.

Reason is in fact the path to faith, and faith takes over when reason can say no more.

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy

The fact that I can travel around the world doing what I love is such a blessing. I’ve learned that traveling is such an important thing; there’s so many beautiful things out there and we get worried about such little things.

The worst of all fears is the fear of living

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.

My freedom is not and cannot be something that I observe as I observe an outward fact; rather it must be something that I decide, moreover, without appeal. It is beyond the power of anyone to reject the decision by which I assert my freedom and this assertion is ultimately bound up with the consciousness that I have of myself.

Everyone believes in the law of errors, the experimenters because they think it is a mathematical theorem, and the mathematicians because they think it is an experimental fact.

My main purpose in life is to make enough money to create ever more inventions…. The dove is my emblem…. I want to save and advance human life, not destroy it…. I am proud of the fact that I have never invented weapons to killc

I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists – proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision

I embrace the fact that I’m a big guy. I think it’s important to love yourself and be comfortable in your own skin.

We pretend to be a free society, and we pretend to be an adult society, but if you look at the facts, our news is just as contrived, and controlled as Pravda

I stay ready so I don’t have to get ready.

The cure for poverty has a name, in fact: it’s called the empowerment of women. If you give women some control over the rate at which they reproduce, if you give them some say, take them off the animal cycle of reproduction to which nature and some doctrine—religious doctrine condemns them, and then if you throw in a handful of seeds perhaps and some credit, the floor of everything in that village, not just poverty, but education, health, and optimism will increase. It doesn’t matter; try and do it without empowering women, you can’t do it. The benefits are so many.

With a hand that could be felt, the Lord opened my mind to the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me.

You’ll never find a rainbow if you’re looking down

War is the realm of uncertainty; three quarters of the factors on which action is based are wrapped in a fog of greater or lesser uncertainty.

In short, absolute, so-called mathematical, factors never find a firm basis in military calculations.

In the whole range of human activities, war most closely resembles a game of cards.

But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact.

The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses.

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

I have always been impressed by the fact that there are a surprising number of individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and an equal number who do use their minds, but in an amazingly stupid way

People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls

I am a masterpiece, you are a tragedy. Finish you like Mortal Kombat; fatality

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity

You can’t know, you can only believe – or not.

I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.

There’s work to be done

The fact that nobody played tennis in my family and you’d say by chance they make three tennis courts in front of the restaurant that my family owned when I was 4, I think that’s a destiny. That’s kind of life circumstances that kind of come together for you to become who you want to become.

Believe you are defeated, believe it long enough, and it is likely to become a fact.

It is a fact that you project what you are.

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
