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)

preponderatingly because
unless statistics lie he was
more brave than me: more blond than you.”

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
