Lord Courtney, president of the Royal Statistical Society wrote in 1895:

“After all, facts are facts, and although we may quote one to another with a chuckle the words of the Wise Statesman, ‘Lies, damned lies and statistics’,  still there are some easy figures the simplest must understand, and the astutest cannot wriggle out of.”
