The new always happens against the overwhelming odds of statistical laws and their probability, which for all practical, everyday purposes amounts to certainty; the new therefore always appears in the guise of a miracle. Hannah Arendt

Odds Overwhelming Everyday Statistical Guise Miracle Laws Purposes New Practical Always Probability Happens Which Against Certainty Therefore Appears Amount

On the relationship side, if you teach people to respond actively and constructively when someone they care about has a victory, it increases love and friendship and decreases the probability of depression. Martin Seligman

Information: the negative reciprocal value of probability. Claude Shannon

Negative Value Reciprocal Probability Information

Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities. George Boole

If we have an atom that is in an excited state and so is going to emit a photon, we cannot say when it will emit the photon. It has a certain amplitude to emit the photon at any time, and we can predict only a probability for emission; we cannot predict the future exactly. Richard P. Feynman

Future Time Will Predict State Say We Cannot Exactly Atom Only Emission Excited Any Going Probability Cannot Certain

My district has been hit with three 500-year floods in the last several years, so either you believe that we had a one-in-over-100-million probability that occurred, or you believe as I do that there's a new normal, and we have changing weather patterns, and we have climate change. This is the science. Chris Gibson

You Change Science Weather Three Believe Changing Several Has-Been District Had New Climate Occurred Climate Change Been Years Normal Hit Probability Either Patterns Floods Last

I found maths very easy, but I still enjoyed discovering things. You have to have the necessary information. For example, what's the difference between the mean and the median? Probability fascinated me. You have to think very carefully about things, which is the way my mind works anyway. Daniel Tammet

Me You Mind Example Think Carefully Way Easy About Between For Example Still Discovering Maths Very Probability Difference Information Anyway Which Mean Fascinated Works Found Median Enjoyed Things Necessary

The laws of probability, so true in general, so fallacious in particular. Edward Gibbon

What is being talked about now is the probability of the Sharon government launching an attack against Lebanon to eliminate the resistance of Hezbollah by using the American war against Iraq. But, of course, in this case, we will certainly fight with all our strength. Hassan Nasrallah

War Government Strength Fight Will Our Launching About Case Attack Sharon Talked Course Lebanon Iraq American Probability Being Against Certainly Using Now Eliminate Resistance

The high probability is if American forces withdraw from Afghanistan and if no alternative international arrangement is made that then the historic contests between the regions and the sects will reappear, the Taliban will re-emerge, and a very complicated and maybe chaotic situation will develop. Henry Kissinger

Complicated Will Made Situation Chaotic High Develop Between Taliban Withdraw Forces Alternative Arrangement Contests Historic Very American Probability Afghanistan Maybe Regions Then International

Excess dietary salt is most notorious for increasing blood pressure. Americans have a 90 percent lifetime probability of developing high blood pressure - so even if your blood pressure is normal now, if you continue to eat the typical American diet, you will be at risk. Joel Fuhrman

You Will Pressure Salt Increasing Typical High High Blood Pressure Eat Percent Risk Excess Lifetime Developing Most Continue Normal Blood Blood Pressure American Probability Diet Dietary Your Notorious Even Now

One important measurement issue concerns the fat tails problem that I mentioned earlier. VAR is concerned with extreme outcomes. If the tails of the probability distributions we are using are too thin, our VAR measures are likely to be too low. John Hull

The uniformity of the earth's life, more astonishing than its diversity, is accountable by the high probability that we derived, originally, from some single cell, fertilized in a bolt of lightning as the earth cooled. Lewis Thomas

Life Diversity Single Earth Astonishing High Some More Lightning Accountable Than Cell Probability Uniformity Derived Originally Bolt

Investing is about predicting the future, and the future is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, the only way you can do better is to assess all the facts and truly know what you know and know what you don't know. That's your probability edge. Li Lu

Future You Better Edge Way All The Facts Unpredictable About Only Facts Investing Know Truly Probability Predicting Your Inherently Therefore Assess

It's not about the pace, it's about the direction we've set. The pace is of course a function of many factors, including the magnitude of the supply shock. But what's probably more important is the probability of the supply shock translating into sustainable embedded inflation. Marek Belka

Inflation Important Embedded About Direction More Magnitude Factors Supply Course Shock Probability Sustainable Pace Translating Many Function Including Set

If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the universe can be assigned probability. Murray Gell-Mann

Universe Way Unavoidable Gives Look Alternative Quantum Quantum Mechanics Histories Behaves Probability Us Mechanics Fundamental Assigned

A lot of boys in my poker circle are mathematicians who play on probability. I don't have that kind of brain, so I rely on instinct. But I recently found out that poker and cards in general go way back in my family gene pool. Natalie Dormer
