Famous quotes containing the word statistics:

    “He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts—for support rather than illumination.”
    —Andrew Lang (1844–1912)

    “We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
    —Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    “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)
