Trust
It is to me a new and consolatory proof that wherever the people are well-informed they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights. — Thomas Jefferson to Richard Price, January 8, 1789
Research
If academic research is not devoted to finding the truth, it is a form of propaganda, and not necessarily to be preferred to other forms, much cheaper and perhaps more persuasive. – Conrad Russell (Academic Freedom. London: Routledge. 1993)
Data
If they do that with marks and grades, should they be trusted with experimental data? – Harry Erwin, PhD
Proof
You can prove anything if you make up your data. – Jerry Pournelle
Fallacy
Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions. – G. K. Chesterton
