Fortune Quote #2797
After 17 years of interacting with physicians, I have come to realize that
many of them are adherents of a religion they call Statistics... Like any
good religion, it involves vague mysteries capable of contradictory and
irrational interpretation. It has a priesthood and a class of mendicant
friars. And it provides Salvation: Proper invocation of the religious
dogmas of Statistics will result in publication in prestigious
journals. -- David S. Salsburg

who have not swords can still die upon them. Would you have the folk of
Gondor gather you herbs only, when the Dark Lord gathers armies? --
Eowyn (The Return of the King, J.R.R. Tolkien)

Fortune Quote #2794
Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do
what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting
the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have
clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to
rule. -- Gandalf the White (The Return of the King, J.R.R. Tolkien)
