Risk quotes

He who knows best, best knows how little he knows. - Thomas Jefferson

On the road from the City of Skepticism, I had to pass through the Valley of Ambiguity. - Adam Smith

He who does not know may still have true notions of that which he does not know.  - Plato

The sign of a truly educated man is to be deeply moved by statistics  - George Bernard Shaw

When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thought advanced to the state of science.  - Lord Kelvin
