Statistics are human beings with the tears wiped off. – Paul Brodeur, Outrageous Misconduct

Satan delights equally in statistics and in quoting scripture…. – H.G. Wells, The Undying Fire

I always find that statistics are hard to swallow and impossible to digest. The only one I can ever remember is that if all the people who go to sleep in church were laid end to end they would be a lot more comfortable. – Mrs. Robert A. Taft

Do not put your faith in what statistics say until you have carefully considered what they do not say. – William W. Watt
