Witnesses Quotes

We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success Picture Quote #1

It’s rather naive, apart from being ethically objectionable, to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don’t operate that way Picture Quote #1

A trial without witnesses, when it involves a criminal accusation, a criminal matter, is not a true trial Picture Quote #1

I believe that historians and analysts of historical events need the authority of facts supplied by living witnesses to the events, which they make their subject Picture Quote #1

I have many times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon earth through the years to come than this massed multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war Picture Quote #1

Although your knowledge is weak and small, you need not be silent: since you cannot be judges be at least witnesses Picture Quote #1

We who were born were not witnesses to our birth: like death, it is something we are forever after trying to catch sight of Picture Quote #1

The conclusion I have reached is that, above all, dogs are witnesses. They are allowed access to our most private moments. They are there when we think we are alone. Think of what they could tell us. They sit on the laps of presidents. They see acts of love and violence, quarrels and feuds, and the secret play of children. If they could tell us everything they have seen, all of the gaps of our lives would stitch themselves together Picture Quote #1

In the short term, corporal punishment may produce obedience. But it is a fact documented by research that in the long term the results are inability to learn, violence and rage, bullying, cruelty, inability to feel another’s pain, especially that of one’s own children, even drug addiction and suicide, unless there are enlightened or at least helping witnesses on hand to prevent that development Picture Quote #1

Prison officials have been more concerned about sparing the sensitivities of executioners and witnesses than protecting the condemned prisoner from pain. They are more concerned with appearances than with the reality Picture Quote #1

Domestic violence can be so easy for people to ignore, as it often happens without any witnesses and it is sometimes easier not to get involved. Yet, by publicly speaking out against domestic violence, together we can challenge attitudes towards violence in the home and show that domestic violence is a crime and not merely unacceptable Picture Quote #1

Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses Picture Quote #1

What counts is not what sounds plausible, not what we would like to believe, not what one or two witnesses claim, but only what is supported by hard evidence rigorously and skeptically examined. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence Picture Quote #1

The conspiracy community regularly seizes on one slip of the tongue, misunderstanding, or slight discrepancy to defeat twenty pieces of solid evidence; accepts one witness of theirs, even if he or she is a provable nut, as being far more credible than ten normal witnesses on the other side; treats rumors, even questions, as the equivalent of proof; leaps from the most minuscule of discoveries to the grandest of conclusions; and insists that the failure to explain everything perfectly negates all that is explained Picture Quote #1

When the lives and the rights of children are at stake, there must be no silent witnesses Picture Quote #1

There is scarcely a technical issue for which you cannot find expert witnesses of differing opinions Picture Quote #1

The regime which is destroyed by a revolution is almost always an improvement on its immediate predecessor, and experience teaches that the most critical moment for bad governments is the one which witnesses their first steps toward reform Picture Quote #1

Je ne crois que les histoires don’t les te moins se feraient e gorger. I only believe in histories told by witnesses who would have had their throats slit Picture Quote #1

What you lose as you age is witnesses, the ones that watched from early on and cared, like your own little grandstand Picture Quote #1

Les te moins sont fort chers, et n’en a pas qui veut. Witnesses are expensive and not everyone can afford them Picture Quote #1

We better know there is a fire whence we see much smoke rising than we could know it by one or two witnesses swearing to it. The witnesses may commit perjury, but the smoke cannot Picture Quote #1

I believe that the people who survive a cataclysm, rather than those who stand by and analyze it, are nearly always the more credible witnesses to their own history Picture Quote #1

Marriages do not take root in the presence of witnesses but only in the consciousness of the persons involved Picture Quote #1

What’s the point? you can bring in 50 witnesses and it would not change what the tape clearly shows Picture Quote #1

Perfect valour consists in doing without witnesses that which we would be capable of doing before everyone Picture Quote #1

Quantum fiction is any story that witnesses life and the human experience on a subatomic level Picture Quote #1

We were put here as witnesses to the miracle of life. We see the stars, and we want them. We are beholden to give back to the universe... If we make landfall on another star system, we become immortal Picture Quote #1

Even with all the advantages of retrospect, and a lot of witnesses dead and gone, you can’t make your life look as if you intended it or you were consistent. All you can show is how you dealt with various hands Picture Quote #1

I think it’s very important for writers and artists generally to be witnesses to the world, and to be transparent. To let other people speak... to travel... to experience the world. And memorialize it Picture Quote #1

In examining witnesses, I learned to ask general questions so as to elicit details with powerful sensory associations: the colors, the sounds, the smells that lodge an image in the mind and put the listener in the burning house Picture Quote #1
