A concept is stronger than a fact.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A belief may be larger than a fact.
A fact in itself is nothing. It is valuable only for the idea attached to it, or for the proof which it furnishes.
Truth is a big concept.
Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
If something is presented as a fact, it has to be correct.
A fact must be assimilated with, or discriminated fromm, some other fact or facts, in order to be raised to the dignity of a truth, and made to convey the least knowledge to the mind.
It's a very complicated issue about when is a fact not a fact in the context of opinions.
Attitudes are more important than facts.
It is that of increasing knowledge of empirical fact, intimately combined with changing interpretations of this body of fact - hence changing general statements about it - and, not least, a changing a structure of the theoretical system.
A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.
