People told me it was a mistake to marry so young but you can't go into a marriage thinking that because the divorce statistics are so high your marriage won't last.

You can make a lot of cases that you can take the win stat out of the game and you can still figure out who the good pitchers are, and I agree with that to some extent.

Danish Footballer

George Canning

I can prove anything by statistics except the truth.

English Statesman

A statistic must be considered within its context to avoid misinterpretation.

Context Importance

Always check the date of the statistic, as it may not represent the current situation.

Not Always Current

The reliability of a statistic is linked to the credibility of its source.

Source Matters

Statistics often come from a sample and may not represent the whole population.

Sample Insights

Not every statistic is significant; its impact depends on the size and variance of the sample.

Statistical Significance

Statistics are often presented with technical jargon that may need further explanation.
