Like other occult techniques of divination, the statistical method has a private jargon deliberately contrived to obscure its methods from non-practitioners.
~ G. O. Ashley ~
Round numbers are always false.
~ Samuel Johnson ~
Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.
~ Fletcher Knebel ~
He used statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts; for support rather than illumination.
~ Andrew Lang ~
There are two kinds of statistics, the kind you look up, and the kind you make up.
~ Rex Stout ~
Often statistics are used as a drunken man uses lamp posts... for support rather than illumination.
