>Mark Twain.  The actual quote is "There are three kinds of lies: lies,
damned lies, and statistics." 

 

Certainly "damned" seems more literate, hence likely, than "damn".


Wikipedia says -

 ( http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Benjamin_Disraeli )

There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. 
This was attributed to Disraeli by Mark Twain, to whom the phrase has
also been attributed. The earliest known use of it is actually that of
Leonard H. Courtney, whom Twain might have thought to be referring to
Disraeli in the essay in which he declared it.
