It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.
Fletcher Knebel

The road to truth is long, and lined the entire way with annoying bastards.
Alexander Jablokov
Image
They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.
Graham Greene
Image
Men, I still think, ought to be weighed not counted.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Crib death was so infrequent in the pre-vaccination era that it was not even mentioned in the statistics, but it started to climb in the 1950s with the spread of mass vaccination against diseases of childhood.
Harris L Coulter
Image
No historian can take part with--or against--the forces he has to study. To him even the extinction of the human race should merely be a fact to be grouped with other vital statistics.
Henry Adams

The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
Douglas Adams
Image
I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.
Oliver Cromwell

If ... we choose a group of social phenomena with no antecedent knowledge of the causation or absence of causation among them, then the calculation of correlation coefficients, total or partial, will not advance us a step toward evaluating the importance of the causes at work.
Ronald Fisher
Image
Theories are just fantasies. And they change.
Michael Crichton
Image
That is probable which for the most part usually comes to pass, or which is a part of the ordinary beliefs of mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
In our lust for measurement, we frequently measure that which we can rather than that which we wish to measure... and forget that there is a difference.
Udny Yule
Image
Sometimes, despite the fact that you're reading through masses of material, you just can't not think about a certain event, for it seems to capture the reality of the entire situation so much better than any set of statistics.
Nicholson Baker
Image
A good deal of confusion could be avoided, if we refrained from setting before the group, what can be the aim only of the individual and before society as a whole, what can be the aim only of the group.
T. S. Eliot
Image
Basic research is like shooting an arrow in the air and, where it lands, painting a target.
Homer Burton Adkins

There is a liberal bias. It's demonstrable. You look at some statistics. About 85 percent of the reporters who cover the White House vote Democratic, they have for a long time. There is a, particularly at the networks, at the lower levels, among the editors and the so-called infrastructure, there is a liberal bias.
Evan Thomas

I know my statistics have not been the same as in other years but I'm fighting to get back to those statistics.
Fernando Torres

Baseball is probably the world's best documented sport.
Ford Frick

Thanksgiving is a magical time of year when families across the country join together to raise America's obesity statistics. Personally, I love Thanksgiving traditions: watching football, making pumpkin pie, and saying the magic phrase that sends your aunt storming out of the dining room to sit in her car.
Stephen Colbert
Image
I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.
Richard Branson
Image
I saw the first one [video with Hans Rosling ] when he did - I think it was his first one - in 2006, a TED Talk. And for the first time in my life, I thought here's someone who can take statistics that most people regard as dull and boring and bring it alive.
Keith Devlin
Image
I would give my life for a man who is looking for the truth. But I would gladly kill a man who thinks that he has found the truth.
Luis Bunuel
Image
Even in the face of continued good news, Kerry clings to his message of gloom and doom, supporting it with twisted statistics. Kerry's complaints about a middle class squeeze are out of touch with the reality that home sales hit a record high last month, college tuition increases slowed and consumer confidence is rising.
Steve Schmidt

How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man? You go to work.
