A lawyer's primer If proverb

 A lawyer's primer: If you don't have the law, you argue the facts; if you don't have the facts, you argue the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, then you argue the Constitution

 A lawyer's primer: If you don't have the law, you argue the facts; if you don't have the facts, you argue the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, then you argue the Constitution
  James Madison

 We vote on a president in January, and I guarantee you there will be a change. Back in law school they used to tell us, 'If you don't have the facts, argue the law; and if you don't have the law, argue the facts; and if you don't have either one, you play the race card.' This has nothing to do with race.

 You could argue that this is a terrible thing but facts are facts. You might not like something but that doesn't mean it's going to go away.

 When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler.
  Al Gore

 Elite? Oh, we're elite, most definitely. We've been one of the best in the country, man. We're elite, and if anyone wants to argue about that, they can argue with me to my face and I'll show them the facts.

 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

 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

 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

 All you can do is deal with what the facts are right now. The facts are that this is the last game of the season. The facts are that there were a lot of injuries. The facts are that this is nowhere close to the season that we wanted to have.

 Factually, they did fine. But there's a big difference between the facts and the ability of Americans ... to digest the facts. Sometimes the facts cause indigestion.

 My facts shall be falsehoods to the common sense. I would so state facts that they shall be significant, shall be myths or mythologies. Facts which the mind perceived, thoughts which the body thought - with these I deal.
  Henry David Thoreau

 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.

 There are a lot of voices in that room. We'll argue and argue and argue.

 The facts: nothing matters but the facts: worship of the facts leads to everything, to happiness first of all and then to wealth.
