Alberto Del Rio Quotes

Seek truth from facts.

I do not fear truth. I welcome it. But I wish all of my facts to be in their proper context.

Once we thought, journalists and readers alike, that if we put together enough 'facts' and gave them a fast stir, we would come up with something that, at least by the standards of short-order cooks, could be called the truth.

Namely, we have no right to believe a thing true because everybody says so unless there are good grounds for believing that some one person at least has the means of knowing what is true, and is speaking the truth so far as he knows it.

Every man has a right to his opinion, but no man has the right to be wrong in his facts.

Found your opinions on facts, not prejudices. We know too many things that are not true

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

You're entitled your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

We have the right to our own opinions, but not our own facts.

We must always think about things, and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be.

Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated.

I don't listen to opinions.

The trouble with facts is that there are so many of them.

It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.

I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground.

Opinions should not be allowed to become conclusions

It is necessary to judge accurately the things that rest on opinion

Values are faithfully applied to the facts before us, while ideology overrides whatever facts call theory into question.

In my opinion, it helps enormously to know why something is true, rather than being told it is true, for why should you believe me? Never believe anything on the authority of a single person but seek confirmation — and reason is the best confirmation

Facts matter, especially when they conflict with dogma and preconceived notions. Pretending otherwise has consequences.

I reject the idea that journalists are messengers of the truth. It’s arrogant. I think journalism is a search for the little relative truths that at best keep us relatively sane.

Some people have facts; these can be proven. Some people have theories; these can be disproven. But people with opinions are mindless and have their minds made up about it.

I think journalists have the right to their opinions but I think their opinions should be based on history and what they see, not what they feel, how long they've been waiting or whether it's raining or it's snowing or whatever.

See, I have no journalism in my background, so I wasn't practised at research or writing non-fiction, nor at handling the truth in a journalistic way. Journalists know when to call a halt and write something, but I kept on looking for answers.

We need discernment in what we see and what we hear and what we believe.
