Famous quotes containing the words traffic and/or statistics:
“The two hours’ traffic of our stage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
