I demand these ministers stop their undermining, stop the attacks, i demand that they close ranks behind the proper policy for leading the nation - for its security, economy and lowering the cost of living, in every aspect. If they agree to do so, we can continue to work together. If they refuse, we will draw conclusions, and go to the voter. – Benjamin Netanyahu	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity. – Charles Cooley	added by anonymous 9 years ago
This is an age of intellectual sauces, of essence, of distillation. We have conclusions without deductions, abridgments of history and abridgments of science without leading facts. We have animals for literature, Cabinet Encyclopaedias, Family Libraries, Diffusion Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for? Not to add knowledge to the learned, but to tell points to the ignorant, without giving them the trouble to acquire the links. Oh! it is sad work. And the result will be injurious to all classes. – Benjamin Haydon	added by anonymous 9 years ago
Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions. – Jean Paul	added by anonymous 10 years ago
When a subject is highly controversial... one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold.

For undemocratic reasons and for motives not of State, they arrive at their conclusions -- largely inarticulate. Being void of self-expression they confide their views to none; but sometimes in a smoking room, one learns why things were done. – Rudyard Kipling	added by anonymous 10 years ago
When the scale of sensuality bears down that of reason, the baseness of our nature conducts us to most preposterous conclusions. – R Chamberlain	added by anonymous 12 years ago
I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives. – Leo Tolstoy	added by anonymous 13 years ago
No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. – John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859	added by anonymous 13 years ago
For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal. It does not follow that every item which we confidently accept as physical knowledge has actually been certified by the Court; our confidence is that it would be certified by the Court if it were submitted. But it does follow that every item of physical knowledge is of a form which might be submitted to the Court. It must be such that we can specify (although it may be impracticable to carry out) an observational procedure which would decide whether it is true or not. Clearly a statement cannot be tested by observation unless it is an assertion about the results of observation. Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure. – Sir Arthur Eddington, The Philosophy of Physical Science	added by anonymous 13 years ago
There are many people who reach their conclusions about life like schoolboys: they cheat their master by copying the answer out of a book without having worked the sum out for themselves. – Søren Kierkegaard	added by anonymous 13 years ago
Too many people confine their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running up bills, stretching the truth, bending over backward, lying down on the job, sidestepping responsibility and pushing their luck. – Author Unknown	added by anonymous 13 years ago
That life is worth living is the most necessary of assumptions, and, were it not assumed, the most impossible of conclusions. – George Santayana	added by anonymous 13 years ago
He who esteems trifles for themselves is a trifler; he who esteems them for the conclusions to be drawn from them, or the advantage to which they can be put, is a philosopher. – Edward Bulwer-Lytton	added by anonymous 13 years ago
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant. – Helen Keller	added by anonymous 14 years ago

Stupidity consists in wanting to reach conclusions. We are a thread, and we want to know the whole cloth. – Gustave Flaubert	added by anonymous 14 years ago
The art of drawing conclusions from experiments and observations consists in evaluating probabilities and in estimating whether they are sufficiently great or numerous enough to constitute proofs. This kind of calculation is more complicated and more difficult than it is commonly thought to be. . . – Antoine Laurent Lavoisier	added by anonymous 14 years ago
