Statistics are no substitute for judgment.
Clay, Henry
Legends of prediction are common throughout the whole Household of Man. Gods speak, spirits speak, computers speak. Oracular ambiguity or statistical probability provides loopholes, and discrepancies are expunged by Faith.
Guin, Ursula K. Le
The new always happens against the overwhelming odds of statistical laws and their probability, which for all practical, everyday purposes amounts to certainty; the new therefore always appears in the guise of a miracle.
Arendt, Hannah
Organization can never be a substitute for initiative and for judgment.
Louis D. Brandeis
The day has clearly gone forever of societies small enough for their members to have personal acquaintance with one another, and to find their station through the appraisal of those who have first hand knowledge of them. Publicity is an evil substitute and the art of publicity is a black art; but it has come to stay, every year adds to its potency and to the finality of its judgments. The hand that rules the press, the radio, the screen and the far-spread magazine, rules the country whether we like it or not, we must learn to accept it.
Hand, Learned
I could prove God statistically.
Gallup, George
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Twain, Mark
Consumers are statistics. Customers are people.
Marcus, Stanley
Like dreams, statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.
Baudrillard, Jean
Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.
Knebel, Fletcher
