Facts are carpettacks under proverb

 Facts are carpet-tacks under the pneumatic tires of theory

 The mix will stick to the rubber tires on the pneumatic rollers.

 Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to the brass tacks.
  T.S. Eliot

 If facts conflict with a theory, either the theory must be changed or the facts.

 It's a huge mistake to theorize before one has the facts because you begin to twist the facts to match the theory.

 The European Commission overreached itself in the G.E.-Honeywell case. It pushed theories like the 'conglomerate effects' theory too far, and fitted the facts of the case to suit the theory.

 You fix enough flat tires and step on enough of these things in the carpet and pretty soon you develop a deep resentment for this species of plant.

 If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
  Albert Einstein

 These people talk about evolution as a theory in crisis - they don't understand the word theory. In layman's terms a theory is just a guess or something unproven, but in science a theory implies something that has been proven and generally accepted as true.

 If the caution doesn't come out, we're going to run third, ... We had a good day. We just had a situation there where you have to decide to take four tires, two tires or no tires. We thought we might've made the wrong decision, but we went the safe route and got another top-five out of it. I'm really proud of this Home Depot team.

 Assessing is theory, facts, and art form,

 I grow daily to honor facts more and more, and theory less and less
  Thomas Carlyle

 Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of facts
  George Santayana

 Facts do not 'speak for themselves', they are read in the light of theory

 Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of facts
  George Santayana
