There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Benjamin Disraeli

Statistics are no substitute for judgment.

Henry Clay

USA Today has come out with a new survey - apparently, three out of every four people make up 75% of the population.

David Letterman

Statistician: A man who believes figures don't lie, but admits that under analysis some of them won't stand up either.

Evan Esar

Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.

Fletcher Knebel

Statistics are the triumph of the quantitative method, and the quantitative method is the victory of sterility and death.

Hilaire Belloc

I could ask the Phillies to keep me on to add to my statistics, but my love for the game won't let me do that.

Mike Schmidt

Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.

Mark Twain

Statistics show that many people watch our show from the bedroom. and people you ask into your bedroom have to be more interesting than those you ask into your living room. I kid you not!

Jack Paar

Statistics: The only science that enables different experts using the same figures to draw different conclusions.

Evan Esar

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.

Rita Mae Brown

I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.

Dizzy Dean

Clearly from these statistics, they are submitting an application, but they are not submitting the proper documentation. They are bringing in new enrollments. However, there's such a large termination.

Jan Scott

Things are always best seen when they are a trifle mixed-up, a trifle disordered; the chilly administrative neatness of museums and filing cases, of statistics and cemeteries, is an inhuman and antinatural kind of order; it is, in a word, disorder.

Camilo Jose Cela

Brian Westbrook is truly deserving of this prestigious honor. The statistics he put up during his Villanova career are simply amazing. It is an honor for me to say that I coached not only a great player, but a great person in Brian Westbrook. He is truly a once in a lifetime player.

Andy Talley

We're in the top 10 in a lot of statistics. But we're still hungry. We've got a lot of no-names, so we're building names for ourselves.

Leroy Hill

If you look at the statistics of who is in the market now, more than 50 percent of all American households own some stock, and more than 80 percent of the households of people who are 35 and younger own some stock, be it mutual funds, be it through their 401K or in individual equities.

Bill Mann

You're trying too hard to find a correlation here, ... You don't know these people, you don't know what they intended. You try to compile statistics and correlate them to a result that amounts to nothing more than speculation.

Marc Racicot

We have a profile on how users typically move through the real estate process on our platform and we also have statistics for our clients on how the advertisers can generate the best results.

Tim Higgins

The statistics clearly show who the perpetrators were, since more than one third of the rioters that were arrested were Syrians and another third were Palestinians, mostly from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Samir Geagea

We're obviously pleased with the drop in the crime statistics, and are quick to credit the collaborative efforts of the members of the police departments and various departments in the city working within the community to make Scottsdale a safe place to live and visit.

Mark Clark

You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.

David Lloyd George

The purpose of the increase is to maintain buying power. The amount of the increase is set by the U.S. Congress and it's based on Department of Labor statistics, in particular, the consumer price index.

Mark Lassiter

To tell you the truth, I've never weighed myself. When somebody asks me my statistics or whatever I honestly don't know.

Helena Christensen

As you know statistics show that a certain number of people get married each year and the rest don't. Well, I got into the wrong bunch of statistics. I should be pitied instead of questioned.

Will Cuppy

The latest energy department statistics were very bearish. Coupled with ample supply in crude oil and distillates, recent rapid recovery in gasoline inventories will continue to weigh on the market.

Makoto Takeda

Availability of statistics and other required information will enable the society to assess judiciary and it institutions in a fair and objective manner.

Justice Sabharwal

The buffalo isn't as dangerous as everyone makes him out to be. Statistics prove that in the United States more Americans are killed in automobile accidents than are killed by buffalo.

Art Buchwald

With those kinds of statistics, there are real concerns that cannot be explained a way other than race. How long do we turn a blind eye to it?

Richard Ney

Soares made a great save. Soares had a couple of big steals and rebounds. Soares fill all area of the statistics.

Brian Danilov

Statistics have shown that mortality increases perceptibly in the military during wartime.

Alphonse Allais

Historically, cocaine was a fairly rare drug in Europe. Then in Britain, the Netherlands and Spain it became increasingly available in big cities and now it is very visible in national statistics in these countries and our concern is there could be further diffusion in Europe.

Paul Griffiths

The statistics don't support planes falling out of the sky.

Phil Boyer

We'll see larger differences the older kids get. The new tests put more emphasis on probability and statistics with 11th graders. Previously most of the emphasis was on algebra and geometry. What changes is more of the emphasis.

Joe Stangler

If you look at the statistics, just the number of eruptions, there's an eruption every 3,000 to 5,000 years. Since the last one was 3,000 years ago, well ...

Larry Crumpler

Those are good statistics either way. I'm glad we do have a good away record because that means we have a chance on the road, but we'd rather have home-field for the first round.

Todd Steverson

This year's statistics show a more active than average hurricane season.

John Pierce

We are deeply concerned about these statistics. We are very upset Florida shows an increase in anti-Semitic incidents.

Andrew Rosenkranz

An unsophisticated forecaster uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts - for support rather than for illumination.

Andrew Lang

Statistics show that the use is there. . . . I think (L.D. 1952) is a great idea; anytime you can raise awareness and educate people about the negative effects of those drugs, it's a huge plus.

Chris Hollingsworth

The statistics seem to be in Jill Carroll's favor. People tend to lead to the conclusion of the beheadings we've seen on television when they hear of someone being taken hostage or kidnapped because those images are the most vivid.

Peter Mandaville

They will describe success in fantasy sports as being a highly rational, statistics-driven phenomenon, and like in any sort of statistical process, you can't let one good game by one player affect your planning in fantasy sports. So they try not to watch too many games - because they don't want to be influenced by the events on the field.

Don Levy

We had a task force of citizens develop far better statistics than our school administrators could ever think of developing.

Ron Margiotta

There has been this - and it's reflected in the broadcasts - this moronic use of statistics. Which has suggested to everyone who is intelligent the use of statistics is moronic.

Michael Lewis

The statistics can't be argued with; the statistics are clear.

James Kemp

The statistics may show we strike more blacks, but it's not because they're black, ... It's because for one reason or another, they (prosecutors) don't think they are going to be fair and impartial.

Bill Hill

Every time we come up here they shoot lights out. Our statistics guy said we missed 17 shots from inside 3 feet in the first half. We just missed too many easy shots.

Rich Demuzio

If you look at statistics about their economic prospects, it's not really as promising. Yet personally, they are optimistic.

Jean Johnson

Yields will be lower in six months. The economic statistics will start to show a slower growth path.

Joseph Balestrino

The feeling itself, it is the same. I don't really add the statistics that I had in Japan and the home runs here.

Hideki Matsui

There's a high population in Allegheny County that we need to target, and it's also a very diverse population. Statistics show that minorities are less likely to designate as donors, so CORE is targeting minority communities to share the donation message.

Cherie Cain

We can't go on with business as usual at Magic Waters, ... Looking at the numbers and statistics, we can't go on as we have.

Doug Brooks

Mark brings so much more to a team than just statistics, ... First and foremost, he brings energy, and a tremendous work ethic. Plus, he is a good teammate and a great guy to have in the locker room.

Kevin Mchale

We see the statistics just like everybody else.

Kathy Harper

You might not see it in the statistics, but we really played well on defense. Most of [Rensselaer's] yards came in the fourth quarter when we played our starters.

Doug Luke

Based on what he's accomplished and on his statistics, if you compare what he's done to what some of the other top quarterbacks have done, he certainly doesn't come anywhere near them in terms of compensation.

Tom Condon

He's really charging in, his pace is good and his statistics are great. It's good to see.

Trevor Hohns

I was scheduled to go to Paris next week and I was really sweating it until yesterday when the conference was canceled. Yes, I'm in the business and I understand that the statistics are in your favor when you fly, but I'm just like everybody else -- I don't make decisions based on statistics.

Kevin Mitchell

Statistics is the art of lying by means of figures.

Wilhelm Stekel

If you follow the statistics, Tammy shouldn't be here.

Luis Garcia

He is so efficient. He seems to be playing smarter, more confidently. I think they have given him more responsibility. He's very, very accurate and doesn't make many mistakes. The statistics show he has three interceptions, but in reality it's only one. The others were deflected passes by receivers who should have caught balls.

Pat Haden

There's a combination of strong economic statistics, an increase in geopolitical concerns regarding a variety of oil-producing countries and bad refining news, and the market has been very spooked, ... It's a long laundry list of problems.

Antoine Halff

Poverty is a risk factor for cancer, ... I think in many ways the statistics we're looking at right now bear that out.

Tom Duffy

The statistics undoubtedly underestimate the true nature of the problem. Drowsy driving, definitely, is one of the largest and less appreciated problems in traffic safety.

Peter Kissinger

We are looking forward to (today). We have elected to do it the old fashioned way and really concentrate on fundamentals. Looking at the team statistics last year, one area we really need to continue to improve is shooting. We know that it's never easy when there is a new staff. It's not an easy road. We know there will be some bumps in the road, but you will see a team that will play hard.

Ricky Stokes

We'll do better next season. We'll have statistics and up-to-date standings on our Web site. And we'll probably have 16 teams in the playoffs. I think 24 teams this season is too many.

Joe Newman

The crisis began with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, which offered voting statistics and automatically proclaimed the Liberal candidate.

Ricardo Maduro

At last the IEA is doing something useful apart from the collection of statistics. Better late than never.

Leo Drollas

Many statistics reveal that men suffer higher rates of death and serious illness than women for most of their adult lives.

Martin Miner

In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.

Tom Seaver

At the most essential levels of government, we need official statistics for a detailed assessment of progress of the situation of women and girls across geographic regions and socioeconomic groups.

Mary Chamie

We have statistics that in election years the political elite and hopefuls always splash out huge amounts of money on sacrificial animals to distribute meat among the needy.

Tipu Sultan

We need a longer data record of hurricane statistics, and we need to understand more about the role hurricanes play in regulating the heat balance and circulation in the atmosphere and oceans.

Peter Webster

The board of directors is extremely pleased with how this project has evolved over the last five years, culminating in today's vote. Over the last two days, this committee has held discussions in great detail, utilizing the research and statistics now available to determine who deserves baseball's highest honor a plaque in the Hall of Fame Gallery in Cooperstown.

Jane Forbes Clark

To understand God's thoughts we must study statistics, for these are the measure of His purpose.

Florence Nightingale

It would be better to do this first while we improve the quality of our import statistics and data.

Ansari Bukhari

Generating these sorts of statistics helps explain to a player how well they are performing. It's giving much more information to the players, which in turn helps improve their performance.

David Rose

The publishing of Singapore's trade statistics could benefit us, especially as regards starting an investigation into illegal trading with that country.

Toto Dirgantoro

He's done a tremendous job in a number of countries - his statistics are extremely impressive.

Michael Carroll

It's amazing how inaccurate some statistics are.

Scott Mccullough

Bloomberg cooks the books, cherry-picking statistics of certain groups rather than offering the whole, unacceptable picture.

Christy Setzer

We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in 'reality.' And reality has a well known liberal bias.

Stephen Colbert

I found that the statistics were amazing.

Meghan Mcguire

Unfortunately, we're finding that [the TRUS biopsy] is really not very effective at all. When you look at the statistics of a normal size gland the chances of actually finding that tumor are about 15 percent. So, 85 percent of patients by that biopsy method may be missing their cancer.

Dr. Gary Onik

Changing the statistics doesn't create any jobs, it merely changes the headlines. Sanford seems more concerned with repairing his own political problem than in solving our state's jobs problem.

Oscar Lovelace

Gore has the economy on his side and the statistics he will be able to produce will be an impressive argument. I am expecting a very close election.

Gary Jacobson

When an organization is grading itself it often finds a way to spin the statistics most favorably to them.

Andrew Coulson

Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?

Dennis Prager

We have not prepared that report, so we don't have any official statistics, yet, ... Right now, no one is monitoring real time crime on a daily basis. All we have is a snapshot from the daily reports. The problem is a snapshot is not always an accurate reflection of the total picture.

Don Kelly

The very best numbers tell you how long a typical house in the community goes from listing to sale. Realtors call these 'days-on-market' statistics. They're easy for your agent to get.

Sid Davis

So, obviously, first comes the AFC West. The goal is to win playoff games, but the division is first, ... You can do it other ways, and we have won a Super Bowl as a wild card, but the statistics show there is no question, being at home gives you an advantage.

Mike Shanahan

I just played my game, went out and tried to do as much as I could for my team, and it ended up being a triple-double.. I had no idea I was close to it until after the game. I never pay attention to statistics.

Shona Thorburn

These statistics precede Southwest Airlines' arrival and show that passengers are taking advantage of the choices and fares available to them.

Kent George

The public's confidence mirrors strong economic statistics.

Richard Jenkins

There will an interactive kiosk where you'll be able to enter the name of anyone who played on a varsity roster, and it'll call up the sport, when they played and whatever statistics are available.

Jim Marchiony

Gold is saying there's more inflation coming than what the street or the official statistics are showing. When you look at the inflation in our own business, in terms of labor costs, fuel costs, it's running well, well above the official inflation rate.

Pierre Lassonde

Right now, we've got one in a row. I'm not really a statistics guy. I don't use a lot of that for motivation.

Skip Holtz

If I'm on the weak side and one of my players is on the strong side and he's coming to the basket, I might just pull on the guys shorts -and that's not going to show up in statistics -but the player on my team knows that guy couldn't come over because I pulled him. How do you measure that?

Adonal Foyle

Individual statistics are fine and dandy, but it's lonely out there, ... You want to share with the 24 other guys that helped you be successful.

Dontrelle Willis

We will have statistics (through the project) to show that adult day care does work and it is a very viable instrument in the care of the elderly because it provides meals, transportation, visits to the doctor and very important socialization.

Francisco Flores

Statistics we have been seeing state that the level of fixed and mobile penetration combined, is approximately 5.6 per cent of which approximately 3.4 per cent relates to mobile. Hence, there is major scope to increase this level of penetration, particularly with an official population of eight million plus and probably higher.

Colm Delves

I am mainly in favor of the issue because of the need to protect individual liberty. But, the research I have done and the statistics I have compiled show that states that have the Right to Work have better economies and are ahead of states that allow forced unionization.

Bruce Hillis

Unfortunately, in many places in the world, things are not getting better. They are getting worse. Some of the statistics are staggering, with nearly 6,000 children under the age of 5 dying every day because of diarrhea. Every day.

Gordon Young

People who accumulate statistics that are warranted of Hall of Fame-type numbers should be in, ... The numbers are what counts.

Paul Molitor

If you look at a lot of the statistics, algebra I is one of the most failed courses for high school freshmen. Our issue became, if that kid fails that first year, now they're behind. If they need four math credits, it's very difficult to catch up and graduate.

Jack Fisher

Playing games with the data won't make prisons safer. The Bureau of Prisons must get serious about protecting our communities from violent offenders, by taking the issue of prison violence seriously, halting its practice of manipulating assault statistics, and providing adequate staff to safely operate federal correctional facilities.

Bryan Lowry

Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. (Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.)

Mark Twain

Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than on all other days of the year put together. This proves, by the numbers left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.

Mark Twain

With those statistics, it's quite an honor.

Jan Smith

The statistics show that 30 percent of the housing inventory is spoken for, but that's not accurate. There's not that much inventory.

Judy Burkett

We must not allow the people who were struck down to simply become statistics. The greatest service we can pay those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and those who survived the blaze, is to do all we can to assure that no one ever again experiences the kind of anguish that they endured.

Thomas H. Kean

The cruise lines cooperated with Congress in gathering these statistics to further demonstrate that cruising is an exceptionally safe vacation.

Michael Crye

I don't know if those (statistics) indicate of how well he threw.

Kyle Crookes

We don't have any statistics of how many times that would reach to the moon. But that is one for every man, woman and child in the state.

Roni Java

Obviously statistics will be kept and you want to get closer to perfect. But when it comes down to it, a quarterback is graded upon winning, and that's the area I'm looking to improve the most.

Brady Quinn

The stronger data virtually assure significant changes in the Fed's directive this week. The new directive will probably include a grudging acknowledgement of the stronger labor market and inflation statistics.

Joe Abate

Wages growth is, from what we hear, firmer than you would see in the official statistics.

Anthony Richards

People think prices are going to go down and the statistics keep telling us they're not. They need to buy. We have an excellent inventory, excellent interest rates. What are they waiting for?

Karen Peterson

They were lucky because they scored with their first free kick and that decides lots of things. In the second half we had opportunities and possession but the goal we deserved wouldn't come. The statistics show that we had a lot of opportunities but we didn't take them.

Vanderlei Luxemburgo

We use statistics to analyze the transaction records of every customer.

Mark Klein

We have added our numbers onto the old ARPA and NSF statistics, and it shows that growth has been steady since the inception of the Internet. Traffic has more than doubled every year.

Dr. Lawrence Roberts

There's some people up here who are a little upset that he's not going to Penn State. He's only going to get bigger, stronger, and faster. He could have had a lot more statistics if we had been worried about that sort of thing. Several of our games were over at halftime or otherwise his numbers could have been even better.

Rick Pennypacker

In the last two years, men have gotten more involved in familial health. While women continue to generally feel responsible for maintaining healthy families, the statistics show that men are becoming more health active, not just for themselves but for their families.

Linda Gilbert

When the company first got started, we were in my mom and dad's house, in 1973, and the office was in my bedroom. My dad started teaching me about statistics when I was in fourth grade, things I wouldn't see in school until college. I've always found this stuff fascinating.

David James

We don't have any hard statistics yet on all the damage done by Hurricane Katrina. Apparently the damage was minimal in the major cotton-producing areas of Mississippi and Louisiana.

Gary Adams

We don't have any accurate statistics now in terms of what has gone on.

Tom Sinks

We started to do some interesting things, like linking crimes and motives using advanced statistics and modeling for investigative support.

Colleen Mccue

In practice he has been able to reduce crime statistics, like kidnapping and homicide, in the major cities.

German Espejo

You hear statistics about how our population is not as fit as we could be. When we have so many people coming to us each year, it's good to take a stand to educate and entertain.

Scott O'donnell

According to the statistics agency of the Chinese government, China invested US$ 7 billion in Sudan in 2005.

Michel Alaby

I think the statistics bear out its negative impact and harmful impact on families. We feel an obligation to stand on their behalf. When you see something that is so detrimental to the family, I don't think it should be surprising that people of faith are united.

Paul Chitwood

The picture is not nearly as bleak as the statistics may portray. They virtually all get one inspection a year.

Geoff Luebkemann

[Most of the young people surveyed believe their financial situation will improve as they get older, and that eventually they will be better off than their parents.] If you look at statistics about their economic prospects, it's not really as promising, ... Yet personally, they are optimistic.

Jean Johnson

As things stand, there is no consistent evidence that there is an increased risk of cancer associated with mobile phone use, but we need to recognise that the statistics are not enormous. The number of people who have had long-term use of phones (and cancer) is really small.

Bruce Armstrong

I think sometimes the voters try to compare us with the starting pitchers. We can't compete with their statistics, their innings or their strikeouts. I think if you compare us against each other, I think you'll see we're all pretty equal.

Bruce Sutter

Burglars, judging by our statistics, define opportunity as an unoccupied, unlocked house stocked with portable television sets.

Gerald Cvetko

I think it's a normal reaction to get frightened, but it's really important to remember the statistics.

Terry Sawyer

We looked at statistics. At Hockessin [activity center], for example, people really lived around there, while there was sparse participation from those in Brandywine Hundred.

Anne Farley

That was one of the major issues, especially rape, and although we don't have statistics, we have the perception that it has improved. But there is, in my opinion, still a lot to do.

Gemmo Lodesani

The air pollution data was collected by the Environmental Protection Agency for regulatory purposes. Weather data was collected from the National Climatic Data Center, and the mortality data is from the National Center for Health Statistics.

Michelle Bell

The figures on Chinese textile imports that we have from Customs and Excise and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) show no major increase.

Industry Minister Fahmi Idris

Another way to understand this opposition of principles and practical obstacles is to speak of statistics and dynamics.

John Portman

It's all down to statistics and chance. It could happen tomorrow, it could happen 10 years from now, it may never happen.

James Stevens

It is clear that bird flu will bring appalling statistics to the economies. The epidemic must not be allowed to evolve into a pandemic, this is the most important thing.

Igor Shuvalov

In 2004, Texas led the nation in home foreclosures ... yet no one seems to have a good answer as to the reason for these alarming statistics.

Rodney Ellis

A Feminist Uses Statistics Like a Fish Uses a Bicycle.

Christina Hoff Sommers

A story on the news first said that, but then there were a lot of statistics they listed after that about high speed and alcohol, so I think it confused people.

Sherri Ettesvold

What we found is that the signal is so bold and big, that you don't have to do any fancy statistics to beat it out of the data. It's just there, bang. And the odds are exceedingly good that the model did not trick us with this signal.

Tim Barnett

Our attendance was down, but we don't have any statistics.

James Novak

One of the statistics you look for in pizza is trying to establish a loyalty rate. If you get someone to try your pizza, can you get them to convert to you?

Tom Herman

Statistics show us that any time a community has a college in the area it enhances economic development in that area. Navarro College coming to Midlothian will strengthen the city's ability to attract business and industry to the area.

Cubie Ward

I feel we should have won. We worked hard and the statistics show it, but we weren't really playing our game.

Carolina Ruiz

Okay, let's take statistics. How many interviews have I given you in the last six years? Just five or six? Doesn't that say something? I hate to sound immodest, but this dates back to my personality since the age of 13. I've always got attention, which at times has been quite unwarranted.

Aishwarya Rai

These are very interesting and important statistics. This shows a pretty dramatic over-representation of black kids.

David Finkelhor

We have lots of new employees. It's just not showing up in the employment statistics.

Christopher Thornberg

The interpretation from the statistics today appears to be that the Fed is not going to stop.

Kurt Brunner

A lot of the athletes from all 30 teams in the major leagues do give a lot back, ... Luis is one of those that when you say $1 million, personally, and 1,000 hours of volunteer work -- those are MVP statistics.

Wellington Webb

However, even the most impressive delivery statistics can hide deliverability problems because there are of course many legitimate reasons why email messages can't be sent. People switch jobs or change ISPs and don't bother to update their email address with everyone. But to really know why individual recipients aren't getting your mail, you need to look at the rejection messages too.

Dave Dabbah

Statistics have revealed that the country is not able to cope with the rising number of workers employed in government jobs.

Shaikh Ahmed

They're 8-0 for a reason. They're undefeated in the district, too. They're for real. We didn't have a whole lot in the way of statistics.

Ron Whitehurst

Over the past four years, we've always had great games. It doesn't matter, statistics. ... It should be interesting. I'm confident in our pitching more than anything.

Tony Foti

With bearish US statistics expected, traders have found a reason to take profit from a sharp gain since late last week on news about Nigeria and Ecuador.

Nahiro Niimura

I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.

Sir Winston Churchill

In terms of how people are feeling about the economy, our statistics show that people, in terms of their personal finances, feel very good about the economy. At the same time, there's unease about the economy in general.

Alan Hubbard

It's no secret we like to load up against the run. We leave our corners out there and ask them to do a lot. The statistics in the pass game may not be great, but the bottom line is that we've won football games playing that way.

Randall Godfrey

Statistics are like a drunk with a lampost: used more for support than illumination.

Sir Winston Churchill

If you look at Census Bureau statistics for the number of children who are in child care, you would expect the rate to be about 7 percent -- certainly less than 10 percent.

Rachel Moon

Our birth rates nationally peak in late summer and early fall. People spend a lot more time indoors in winter, especially in the north, because it's cold outside. The statistics don't lie.

Carl Haub

The Department of Justice has statistics that states that one in four women will suffer rape or attempted rape through their life in college.

Megan Challender

Coming into the study, we knew that the low-wage market is rife with violations of basic labor standards, but we still found the statistics shocking and disturbing.

Nik Theodore

When you look at the statistics and we're 11-for-23 from the free-throw line and in the second half we shoot 26 percent, we certainly don't deserve to win.

Paul Booth

We ask for no statistics of the killed, For nothing political impinges on This single casualty, or all those gone, Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed, Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.

Karl Shapiro

It's hard to lose a game — period. We didn't finish. You look at the statistics and we didn't deserve to win.

Betty Lennox

That's fine if you keep playing this record over and over. It is going to be a very strong spring. The statistics look terrific.

Al Parish

They read their sports pages, know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans, pro or con, over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.

Mike Schmidt

I think you're going to have days focused on earnings and that will hurt tech [issues]. You're going to have days focused on economic statistics, which, if they give a slow growth look, will be taken to heart.

Barry Hyman

Statistics will explain what happened (Sunday), there's no question. The penalties, the turnovers and our inability to stop the run.

Jeff Fisher

In the last few months, the consumer statistics, in aggregate, are better than anytime in the (recovery).

Jim Paulsen

You don't want to use too many statistics. The ones that apply to a July or August game won't be relevant on Saturday. If they are tied, or a game separated, who cares what happened back in May? Who cares if this hitter was 6-for-28 against this pitcher.

Tim Mccarver

They understand risks and rewards and statistics and are quick on decision making.

Robert Bright

Even in the face of continued good news, Kerry clings to his message of gloom and doom, supporting it with twisted statistics. Kerry's complaints about a middle class squeeze are out of touch with the reality that home sales hit a record high last month, college tuition increases slowed and consumer confidence is rising.

Steve Schmidt

Most poultry contain harmful bacteria. Recent statistics show that about 60 percent of chickens -- broilers -- are contaminated with campylobacter, and 10 percent with salmonella. And turkeys tend to be higher.

Michael Doyle

I really doubt many teams around here have statistics like that.

Bruce Shumaker

As an auto manufacturer, Hyundai Motor America wants to keep families safe when operating motor vehicles and help reduce the alarming statistics among Hispanics related to automobile fatalities.

Donna Kane

When you look at the statistics for heart disease and diabetes in African-American women, it's detected very late. We're trying to reach out to a younger audience and educate them before they get to that stage.

Karen Williams

Smoking is one of the leading causes of all statistics.

Liza Minnelli

This has been the strongest rally we've had since the bear market started. There continues to be good demand for stocks. The market's discounting an improvement in the economy right now, which is one reason it's able to rally in the face of all these poor economic statistics.

Richard Dickson

They based their reaction to our significant proposal by saying they would be right back where they were. Well, that's a bunch of hogwash. What they did is they mixed up and diced up some statistics in a blender and came out with what I think are just absolutely ridiculous forecasts.

Bob Goodenow

It's all a matter of opinion. The goal is to do better than I did last year, which is more than 11 1/2 sacks. I'm not big on statistics, but that is the goal.

The statistics seem to reflect that many of the people who sought shelter in and around Houston have decided to stay. Luckily, our market had the available supply of homes for sale and lease to absorb the number of people who needed a place to live.

Hopefully part of what will be there is some information about sources of audit and statistics.

The 2005 renewal statistics represent a breakthrough in the department's efforts to deliver services online.

The problem is people don't live on economic statistics.

It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of leading causes of statistics.

Look at our population here. People come from all over the country: urban areas, rural areas, suburban areas. We also have international students here. If you look at the national statistics, and you look at correlation and probability, that means that possibly one in 200 students here could be HIV positive.

She's one of the leaders, but we talk about it being a team game. If you look at the statistics, it shows Erika leads us in a lot of categories. But I think we're a well-rounded team. They do a nice job of finding a player and not forcing shots.

Statistics received indicate that in just 30 days we lost some 1162 people on our roads. This means the country has been losing 39 people every day to car accidents. Even viewed against war scenarios such as the current war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the casualties on our roads come out worse.

I've heard statistics that an engineer will hit three people in a 20-year career, ... I'm not looking forward to the day I do (hit someone), but it's probably inevitable.
