Statistics are used like proverb

 Statistics are used like a drunk uses a lamp post - for support, not illumination.

 He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction.

 He uses statistics like a drunk uses lamp-posts, more for support than illumination.

 An unsophisticated forecaster uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts - for support rather than for illumination.
  Andrew Lang

 Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination.

 He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts - for support rather than illumination
  Andrew Lang

 Without the oil, how can the lamp be lit? Let the reading of your prayer book be the oil, and let the Fear of God be the wick for the lamp of this body. Light this lamp with the understanding of Truth. Use this oil to light this lamp. Light it, and meet your Lord and Master.

 To get better illumination, everyone has been moving to HID. But we believe you get safe and comfortable illumination without all that extra cost.

 Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shed
  Vincent van Gogh

  Cyril Connolly

 Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp-post how it feels about dogs.
  Christopher Hampton

 Hello lamp post, what ya knowin'? I come to watch your flowers growin'. Ain't you got no rhymes for me? do do do do... feelin' groovy.
  Paul Simon

 My partner turned around and said, 'That car is driving at a terrible speed. I bet you anything when we get up there it's wrapped around a lamp post'. When we came up and saw the body that was it. It just really tore us apart.

 I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of judging of the future but by the past.
  Edward Gibbon
