The world is the ordspråk

The world is the totality of facts, not of things.

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

Ludwig Wittgenstein

I often wish . . . that I could rid the world of the tyranny of facts. What are facts but compromises? A fact merely marks the point where we have agreed to let investigation cease.

Our revolution in Burkina Faso draws on the totality of man's experiences since the first breath of humanity. We wish to be the heirs of all the revolutions of the world, of all the liberation struggles of the peoples of the Third World. We draw the lessons of the American revolution.

[What I learned...or was reminded of, because I probably heard all this when it first came out...is that George Tenet felt his job was to present the facts but NOT to add any commentary regarding the world in which those facts existed.] After all, ... such comments would get into making policy. And that wasn't my job.

I'm not afraid of facts, I welcome facts but a congeries of facts is not equivalent to an idea. This is the essential fallacy of the so-called ''scientific'' mind. People who mistake facts for ideas are incomplete thinkers; they are gossips.

Cynthia Ozick (1928-)

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of the facts and evidence

John Adams (1735-1826)

John Quincy Adams (1767-1848)

John Quincy Adams

You slowly learn what's good and what's bad. I really started to stay away from using obscure facts that I thought other people would know. There are things you know that no one else in the world knows and you have to realize that.

A law of nature is not a formula drawn up by a legislator, but a mere summary of the observed facts - a "bundle of facts." Things do not act in a particular way because there is a law, but we state the "law" because they act in that way.

They rely on a lot of other things. When you look at economy in its totality, virtually everything is stronger than the employment data.

Now, what I want is, facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

Truths emerge from facts, but they dip forward into facts again and add to them; which facts again create or reveal new truth (the word is indifferent) and so on indefinitely. The 'facts' themselves meanwhile are not true. They simply are. Truth is the function of the beliefs that start and terminate among them.

William James (1842-1910)

William James

Right now, the overall condition is quite critical. Lot of things are being taken care of by the doctors. In totality, the picture has deteriorated since Monday.

Dr Anupam Verma

We put forward a budget each year with what we think are correct numbers for homeland security, and we'll continue to do that. The facts are the facts. This is a president who is leading the war on terror to not only make our nation safer, but the world safer.
