Quotes in the category probability.
All statistics have outliers.
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that the mere fact of our existence should keep us all in a state of contented dazzlement.
You, dear reader, have now two accounts to choose between and there can be no doubt which is most probable.
The concept of randomness and coincidence will be obsolete when people can finally define a formulation of patterned interaction between all things within the universe.
Statistics, likelihoods, and probabilities mean everything to men, nothing to God.
Playing is more than the act of judging the possibility of defeat or victory, playing is the probability of hope we will have victory.
Only someone who isn’t a fool stands a chance of not being bothered by being deemed a fool by a fool.
What luck has gave you will probably leave you.
I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other: they lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them.
I believe that we do not know anything for certain, but everything probably.
Any impossibility turned into a possibility is magic.
You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all - the race to the egg. And now that you are a giant, why do you even doubt victory against smaller numbers and wider margins? The only walls that exist are those you have placed in your mind. And whatever obstacles you conceive, exist only because you have forgotten what you have already achieved.
It's Hard, Not to Fail, but, there is Always a Chance of Success. Of course, there is No Chance of Success, if You didn't Try.
Today is an ephemeral ghost...A strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not "exist."In mundane terms, it marks a "leap" in time, when the calendar is adjusted to make up for extra seconds accumulated over the preceding three years due to the rotation of the earth. A day of temporal tune up!But this day holds another secret—it contains one of those truly rare moments of delightful transience and light uncertainty that only exist on the razor edge of things, along a buzzing plane of quantum probability...A day of unlocked potential.Will you or won't you? Should you or shouldn't
Every time you understand something, religion becomes less likely. Only with the discovery of the double helix and the ensuing genetic revolution have we had grounds for thinking that the powers held traditionally to be the exclusive property of the gods might one day be ours. . . .
Among all the occurrences possible in the universe the a priori probability of any particular one of them verges upon zero. Yet the universe exists; particular events must take place in it, the probability of which (before the event) was infinitesimal. At the present time we have no legitimate grounds for either asserting or denying that life got off to but a single start on earth, and that, as a consequence, before it appeared its chances of occurring were next to nil. ... Destiny is written concurrently with the event, not prior to it... The universe was not pregnant with life nor the biosphere with man. Our number came up in the Monte Carlo game. Is it surprising that, like the person who has just made a million at the casino, we should feel strange and a little unreal?
Probability theory is nothing more than common sense reduced to calculation. -1819
The more energy taken, the less energy that is left for us to implement our goals and the smaller the probability of realization of our innate potential
If nature has taught us anything it is that the impossible is probable

As the sun sets, something in me rises! Do you think it could be my soul? I feel it's a big probability!
Conventional wisdom nor scientific, mathematical prove of randomness in life could do nothing to deter human's curiosity for the unknown, however small the chance of a positive outcome maybe.
Peace shouldn't be an option, it must be the objective, peace shouldn't be a possibility, it must be the purpose.
The mind is not designed to grasp the laws of probability, even though the laws rule the universe.
Between the streams of probability & possibility, lies the timeless, spaceless realm where time gets created!
