George Santayana on facts

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Trust the man who hesitates in his speech and is quick and steady in action, but beware of long arguments and long beards.

Fanaticism consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan1927–2003Often credited to Unattributed

The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts live.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.1841–1935

If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.
