Letting the facts speak for themselves is an immoral principle when we all know that facts and figures can be selected to prove anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Since the masses are always eager to believe something, for their benefit nothing is so easy to arrange as facts.
The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.
Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
A fact in itself is nothing. It is valuable only for the idea attached to it, or for the proof which it furnishes.
'The Truth' is not meant to preach or point any fingers. It's meant to show that perhaps we should all avoid taking the moral high ground unless we have thought about things a bit more.
Facts, according to my ideas, are merely the elements of truths, and not the truths themselves; of all matters there are none so utterly useless by themselves as your mere matters of fact.
Moral certainty can deafen people to any truth other than their own.
Facts are God's arguments; we should be careful never to misunderstand or pervert them.
All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called 'Facts'. They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain.
