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 de...

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.

The unfortunate statistics are that there are far more available and fabulous over-40 women than there are available and fabulous over-40 men.

I have a soft spot for secret passageways, bookshelves that open into silence, staircases that go down into a void, and hidden safes. I even have one myself, but I won`t tell you where. At the other end of the spectrum are statistics which I hate with all...
Luis Bunuel
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.

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

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?

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.

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...

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
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 l...

We were not given any statistics as to how many records were pressed on the blue label. I used to ask Bob Shad how we were going to get paid from record sales and what I got for an answer was not to worry about the business end of the deal.
Phil Harris
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.
Barbara Stephenson
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,
Ashley Aitken
We had kind of a rocky start, but I spent a lot of time working with the President and handing him statistics and showing him what we were doing as we went along and kind of saying to him, you know, this is really important.
Alain Senderens
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
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.
