Quotes for: fact
To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact.
The thing done avails, and not what is said about it. An original sentence, a step forward, is worth more than all the censures.
When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only: What are the facts, and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe, or what you think could have beneficent social effects if it were believed; but look only and solely at what are the facts.
Quotes for: belief
At the root of our civilization, there is the freedom of each person of thought, of belief, of opinion, of work, of leisure.
Man is so made that by continually telling him he is a fool he believes it, and by continually telling it to himself he makes himself believe it.
