The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason. I have never used any other, and I trust I never shall.

Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort truth intentionally, he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic.

A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.

I grow daily to honor facts more and more, and theory less and less.

I don’t give a damn for anybody’s opinion. I only care about the facts. So I’m not an enthusiast for diversity of opinion where factual matters are concerned.

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained.
