Famous quotes containing the words dam and/or statistics:

    The devil take one party and his dam the other!
    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)
