Famous quotes containing the words vital and/or statistics:
“All vital truth contains the memory of all that for which it is not true.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
