The best time to plan an experiment is after you’ve done it  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) A book that I rate only second in importance in evolution theory to Darwin ‘s Origin (this as joined with its supplement Of Man), and also rate as undoubtedly one of the greatest books of the twentieth century  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) The academic mind, as we know, is sometimes capable of assuming an aggressive attitude. The official mind, on the contrary, is and has to be, expert in the art of self-defence  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) Natural selection is a mechanism for generating an exceedingly high degree of improbability  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) This is perhaps the most important book on evolutionary genetics ever written  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) No efforts of mine could avail to make the book easy reading  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) In scientific subjects, the natural remedy for dogmatism has been found in research  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) Natural selection is not evolution  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) Fairly large print is a real antidote to stiff reading  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) To consult the statistician after an experiment is finished is often merely to ask him to conduct a post mortem examination. He can perhaps say what the experiment died of  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) The tendency of modern scientific teaching is to neglect the great books, to lay far too much stress upon relatively unimportant modern work, and to present masses of detail of doubtful truth and questionable weight in such a way as to obscure principles  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) There is, then, in this analysis of variance no indication of any other than innate and heritable factors at work  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) ... The best causes tend to attract to their support the worst arguments, which seems to be equally true in the intellectual and in the moral sense  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) The million, million, million... To one chance happens once in a million, million, million... Times no matter how surprised we may be that it results in us  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) ... the actual and physical conduct of an experiment must govern the statistical procedure of its interpretation  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) The statistician cannot excuse himself from the duty of getting his head clear on the principles of scientific inference, but equally no other thinking man can avoid a like obligation  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) Experimental observations are only experience carefully planned in advance, and designed to form a secure basis of new knowledge  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) The more highly adapted an organism becomes, the less adaptable it is to any new change  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) We have usually no knowledge that any one factor will exert its effects independently of all others that can be varied, or that its effects are particularly simply related to variations in these other factors  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) Inductive inference is the only process known to us by which essentially new knowledge comes into the world  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) The neutral zone of selective advantage in the neighbourhood of zero is thus so narrow that changes in the environment, and in the genetic constitution of species, must cause this zone to be crossed and perhaps recrossed relatively rapidly in the course of evolutionary change, so that many possible gene substitutions may have a fluctuating history of advance and regression before the final balance of selective advantage is determined  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) We have the duty of formulating, of summarizing, and of communicating our conclusions, in intelligible form, in recognition of the right of other free minds to utilize them in making their own decisions  (Ronald Fisher Quotes) After all, it is a common weakness of young authors to put too much into their papers  (Ronald Fisher Quotes)
