Science and Statistics (1976) [pdf]

Origin of the aphorism "All models are wrong, but some are useful", though as expressed in this paper only the first clause is explicitly stated.

See: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_models_are_wrong>

Box apparently expanded on the notion in Box, G. E. P. (1979), "Robustness in the strategy of scientific model building", in Launer, R. L.; Wilkinson, G. N. (eds.), Robustness in Statistics, Academic Press, pp. 201–236, doi:10.1016/B978-0-12-438150-6.50018-2, ISBN 9781483263366.
