Lies...

Lies, damned lies, and statistics

is a phrase popularized by Mark Twain. Twain attributed it to Benjamin Disraeli, however, the phrase isn't in any of Disraeli's writings. Many people attribute it to Twain himself.

"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."
~ John F. Kennedy
