Decade Quotations | Page 2

It always takes longer - there are more processes in a college than any business. Humility is pretty important. Because the (financial) gift won't come through, the class may be smaller than you thought ... trust me, over a decade there will be problems, and there won't be easy answers.

I think the Fed in the last decade has been a real model on how to deal with crises.

I think we're early on in what could be one of the watershed moments in intercollegiate athletics. This is clearly a pivotal time in terms of the next decade or so, both in terms of conference membership and what the next generation of the postseason will look like. Not withstanding some of the Darwinian aspects to it, I do think there will be a place for everybody.

I think it takes more than three years. We need to string together a decade or two to match something like that.

It has been, after all, 11 years, more than a decade now, of defiance of U.N. resolutions by Saddam Hussein. Every obligation that he signed onto after the Gulf War, so that he would not be a threat to peace and security, he has ignored and flaunted.

It has been a fantastic victory. We have shown we are the party of the future. This decade can see us as part of the governments of our country.

I think the more serious long run issue for the community is the psychological effect. Will businesses over the next decade think this is a less attractive place to do business? Will individuals think this is a less attractive place to live? To visit? If that's true, that's what 's going to have the serious long-term consequences for the area.

It is a strong endorsement. The question is: How relevant is it? Someone who was on the 3 rd Circuit for a decade and a half and has done a good job is likely to get this rating.

I think there'll be a Team of the Decade ring coming and, who knows, maybe a Hall of Fame ring.

Jerry was enthusiastically voted into the permanent position by the board. We all feel very strongly that he will continue to do a good job, and will lead this organization into the next decade quite smoothly.

Jim Leininger has fought long odds for more than a decade in trying to win better educational choices for inner-city youth. Tonight was just one more part of his long-term goal of saving lost children.

Our investigation has uncovered several specific examples where consumers have actually been harmed, ... Smart cards, which were delayed for about a decade . . . as well as the development of a system of secure transactions for the Internet, something consumers and businesses obviously would welcome.

Over the past decade we've seen the biggest influx of immigrants in our nation's history and at the same time a decline in resources for wage and hour enforcement at the state and federal level. These centers have become a safety net that's tried to enforce the laws.

Over the past decade we have improved the forecasting of La Nina and El Nino so that we can now predict these events and their expected climatic impacts on different regions with 70 to 80 percent accuracy a year before they occur,

Over the past decade a combination of diverse forces has created a significant increase in the global supply of saving -- a global saving glut,

Over the next decade I am absolutely certain we will see a huge shift in attitude.

Over a decade of conflict we have seen the human rights situation steadily worsening, with increasing numbers of civilian killings and injuries and, for a time, the highest number of reported 'disappearances' in the world.

Over 50 percent of the total growth in the automotive world in the next decade will be in Asia.

Our budget is down, and that's a good thing. The head count at Sudbury School is about 50 percent of what it was a decade ago and that decline is expected to continue to drop by 5 percent a year.

Recent mergers have given the industry a strangle hold over the health insurance market. With fewer pressures for efficiency and no government oversight of rates, insurers have been given free rein to spend more of our health care dollars on overhead, profit, and administration. The last decade of HMO mergers has taught us that when fewer HMOs dominate the health care market, quality goes down, premiums go up, and patients get short changed. Already, 45 million Americans are uninsured because they cannot afford to pay the insurers' ransom.

Our relations with DPRK were suspended more than a decade ago, and DPRK didn't give us access to technical details of their plans,

Our observations over the past decade indicate that lower market volatility tends to be associated with a lower number of filings.

Our last decade had been the most successful of Iowa State football. You can't discount that overnight because a 19-year-old student puts the ball on the ground at the 1-yard line.

Surveillance video is the largest mass of unstructured data out there, but if you bring structure to it, you can build new capabilities. There are three incidents a decade where you can afford to do that (get a large number of agents to watch).

Statistically speaking, the chances of moving up (the) income distribution (curve) is less than it was a decade ago. Students with debt face real concerns with the shrinking middle marketplace.

Linux promises to fulfill the promise made by Unix a decade ago -- a truly cheap, powerful and entirely open computing architecture. Sun is digging in its heels fighting the trend. As a result, no self-respecting CIO will say she or he wants to do more business with Sun.

Litigation is the basic legal right that guarantees every corporation its decade in court

I think most models fear growing old, but from a tender age I had always chosen to play someone grown up. I am slowly but surely catching up with the people that I have spent the last decade and a half trying to portray.

I think 'Friends' ' success lies partly in the diversity of its characters but mostly 'Friends' enjoyed the benefits of a very weak decade in television entertainment. Were they on top? Were they champions? Sure, but the competition wasn't all that good to begin with,

The '60s may be idealized in the movie from a cultural point of view, but the decade was all about discord and a big generational split that was very painful.

The Americans invaded a country without understanding what eight years of a war with Iran had meant, how that traumatized Iraq. They didn't appreciate what they support for a decade of sanctions in Iraq had done to Iraq and the bitterness that it created and that it wiped out the middle class.

That was somewhat surprising because ground-based observers had been trying for more than a decade to find new satellites around Pluto. But I felt almost certain even when I first saw them that they were real objects not any sort of artifact and that they were exhibiting orbital motion around Pluto.

The 2004 sales figures are impressive, especially as we enter the twilight of this hardware cycle, and more significantly, looking ahead, the video game industry shows no signs of slowing down. No other entertainment industry has posted the sustained growth over the last decade generated by the video game sector, and given the technological and creative advances ahead, all signs point to surging growth and more record sales for many years to come.

The 1990s were the decade of mega-summits. I think we should make the next 10 years the decade of action.

The 1980s was the last decade of large suburban expansion. The '90s were a re-sorting era, with the central city gaining population after decades of decline. Now we're in a decade trending toward a fairly large-scale re-sorting of the housing market away from the far reaches of suburbia.

The 1890s was a decade when life began to change in urban America. Modern conveniences that we now take for granted came into use; women's roles became less restrictive; and San Francisco, a port city with influences from all over the world, was a lively place in which to reside.

We went to the moon at the very earliest moment when it was possible. In fact, now that it's over it seems like a fairy tale. It's almost like (President) Kennedy yanked a decade out of the 21st century and spliced it into the '60s.

While 2005 witnessed a decrease from 2004, the yearly average is still very high in the Marshall Islands when compared both to its own history and to prevalence data from other countries. The Marshall Islands is averaging 14 suicides per year this decade (since 2000).

We must understand that we are at the beginning of the creation of a new European economy in the context of a rapidly changing global economy. The stagnation in some of the central economies isn't the really interesting story at the moment -- the interesting story is the success of the radical reform policies initiated by Estonia a decade ago and recently reinvigorated by Slovakia. Over time, the success of these reforms, and the new growth opportunities they are creating, will influence all the other European economies.

We have a great new CEO. I've known him a decade and he understands broadcasting. He understands the creation of product.

We have a great new CEO, ... I've known him a decade and he understands broadcasting. He understands the creation of product.

We will roll this out across our product portfolio and, certainly, by the end of this decade we will be in a position to ship more than 75 million devices enabled with DVB-H,

We have called this our Decade of Gibbons. We expected to win this ourselves. We are a young team, but when you win something for 10 straight years, you don't want that loss on your watch.

We have to plant the seeds for the next decade and beyond.

Usually when the public gets admitted to something, it's the end of the bubble. The exponential growth in private equity and hedge funds in the last decade is mind-boggling. There's a bubble here that's going to bust. There's too much money. That's true in venture capital and it's true of hedge funds as well.

Votes help. Winning Goal of the Decade would be an (accomplishment) in my career. It'd be a great way to start the season.

We need to hire a bubble of controllers that will move our National Airspace System smoothly through the next decade without the turbulence of short staffing and its numerous associated problems.

When I first began working on my Lincoln book, nearly a decade ago, he generously invited me to his home so I could peruse his fabulous Lincoln library. He sat with me for hours, suggesting which sources were the most important to begin my journey.

Unlike the case a decade ago, I view the coming normalization of Fed policy as a much more serous threat to economic recovery in the U.S. and the broader global economy,

We don't have anything to be ashamed of in Hawaii, but there are other places that have obviously had a really dynamic time over the last decade and where the cost of living is a lot lower.

To be utterly honest, a decade ago we were all putting out stuff that tasted like cardboard. Overall, the industry has improved.

The rate of new construction in many areas of Illinois over the past decade is just astounding. Communities need to have programs in place that will help them protect the character of their most cherished buildings and landscapes.

This study has demolished the misconception about old age, ... The possibility of experiencing positive, vital aging lasting into our tenth decade of life is one of the new realities of the 21 st century.

To be at a program for nearly a decade is very rare for any coach these days. I hope this shows how much I love the community. We have goals to accomplish and I'm working on making the grass greener at Fresno State.

We began our 'Luxe Life' and 'Vegas DeLuxe daily columns' not long after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and we've spent a decade bringing you showbiz stories and star scoops. I hope it continues for a long time to come because I honestly feel that all the late nights and around-the-clock hours to be first and fast keep me young.

We are moving toward greater self-sufficiency in Wisconsin. As we move toward the end of the decade we will be substantially more competitive.

The decade began with the economy off track, but the population boom kept rolling along and is on track to nearly match the record 1990s. The country found places to keep booming, shying away from the high-cost coasts and seeking the South and the mountain West.

What we thought just a year ago we might need to do over the course of a decade or longer, we are now here today to talk about doing much faster.

We have gone from a decade of stability ... into an age of uncertainty.

This research demonstrates that during the decade in which APEC economies lowered trade and investment barriers, 195 million jobs were created and around 165 million people in the region have been lifted out of poverty,

There has been (talk on Wall Street) that major media companies are out of favor. I have seen this chicken-little behavior before, ... I have worked in the industry for four decades. At least once a decade they fall out of favor, but each time they emerge stronger than ever. This is for cyclical economic reasons.

There has been a process going on in Washington for over half a decade of undermining democracy. We see another example of that today.

We believe he will be our coach for a decade or more. He has been at Oklahoma for 12 years. My belief is that he's going to be so successful here that this will be his final coaching position.

With an industry focused over the past decade on effective buyer representation, and the possibility of the market advantage now shifting to the buyers, agents are going to have to improve their knowledge and skills in effectively working and representing sellers.

There is plenty of blame to go around for the U.S. housing bubble, but not much of it belongs to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The two giant housing-finance institutions made many mistakes over the decades, some of them real whoppers, but causing house prices to soar and then crater during the past decade weren't among them.

We were surprised that the increase has been as steady over the decade and as large as it has been.

While it's still early to tell, 2005 could very well be the vintage of the decade for Washington state. Mother Nature was definitely on our side this year, delivering one of the warmest summers we've had in recent years, cool and constant fall weather and a frost-free harvest. This allowed the fruit to hang on the vine longer and enhance flavor development.

The president's global warming proposal appears to be another faith-based initiative. We should have faith that major corporations will line up to volunteer cuts in their carbon pollution. That approach has failed for a decade since the president's father set up the first voluntary program.

First, I'd become an avid reader of blogs, especially music blogs, and they seemed to be where the critical-thinking action was at, to have the kind of energy that I associate with rock writing of the 1970s or Internet e-mail discussion lists a decade ago.

Turner's experience as a proven leader of people in Wal-Mart's incredibly dynamic sales environment; his IT background as CIO of a world-class company and his familiarity with our products and technologies as a Microsoft customer for more than a decade uniquely qualify him to serve as our COO,

While we are rightfully proud of the outstanding research that has evolved from Ohio State's primate cognition project in the last decade or so, we believe the time is now right to move the animals to safer quarters where they can live out their lives in peace.

To many employees, Vista, the Windows update, exemplifies the company's struggles. When the project was conceived half a decade ago, it was envisioned as a breakthrough: an operating system that would transform the way users store and retrieve information. But the more revolutionary features have been dropped, and Vista will arrive three years after researcher Gartner Inc. originally predicted that it would ship. Worse yet, they say, nobody has been held accountable. 'People look around and say: 'What are those clowns doing?'' says Adam Barr, a program manager in the Windows group.

There is a lot to be said in the Decade of Evangelism for believing more and more in less and less.

You have to have the world start doing better (before commodities prices correct), and the Asian crisis is starting to look a lot like what Latin America went through in the 1980s. It took them almost a decade to get their problems fixed.

We spend two to three hundred million dollars in capital improvements for sewers from our capital spending plan. A lot went into the sewers in Southeast Queens over the last decade and there are plans for more work to be done. We are doing a lot to alleviate the flooding, but we have to do more.

(Thursday night) we reported a very good first quarter. In the parade of Eastman first quarters, this was the second best in a decade and was only overshadowed by the best quarter in our history, which was a year ago.

We expect the revenue increase to continue though the rest of this decade and beyond.

We changed the game more than any decade in the history of the sport and Sandy was in the middle of all of that.

You look at Governor Romney's record in the private sector, he helped turn businesses around. Certainly a decade ago he took what would have been an international disaster with the U.S. Olympics, and turned it around for America and made us great again with the Olympics in Salt Lake City.

This new franchise is a living dynamic visual history of some of the most important artists and movements in popular music, ... By tapping into the sounds of each decade and creating unique ways to tell these stories, we're confirming our commitment to being the destination for adults who are passionate about music.

We have done extremely well in the past decade with our capital and will take a somewhat more cautious approach targeting a minimum annual return of 15 percent.

We have done everything but tell you what our target is ... if you want to look at our past behavior, it's kind of magical. In the last decade (inflation excluding food and energy) has been between 1% to 2%.

Brad's insights have been invaluable to me over the past 29 years. He has proven that he has both the vision and the leadership to propel the company forward into a new decade of growth,

Events of a decade ago are history, and the IOC has drawn a line under the past.

Even the most concerned and skeptical of intelligence agencies now estimate that Iran is nearly a decade away from developing a nuclear weapon.

Blacks have been migrating into the South in the last decade or so. There are more jobs here. After the 60's, and civil rights, this is where the job growth has been. Because of the lack of unionization, industries have moved back to the South.

Blacks have been migrating into the South in the last decade or so, ... There are more jobs here. After the 60's, and civil rights, this is where the job growth has been. Because of the lack of unionization, industries have moved back to the South.

Every single sports reporter covering the San Francisco Giants in the late 1990s and the early part of this decade thought that Barry Bonds was on steroids.

As the Web enters its second decade as an integral part of everyday life, our expanded categories recognize those who are pushing the Web in new directions,

Dr. Leininger has worked for more than a decade to win the same educational choices for inner-city parents as those enjoyed by the wealthy. In short, we're not going away. We've been fighting for that for more than a decade, and we will keep fighting for it until we win improved education systems and additional options for parents and children.

Even a decade after divorce, the median wealth stays below $10,000.

Feckless as it was for Bush to ask Americans to go shopping after 9/11, we all too enthusiastically followed his lead, whether we were wealthy, working-class or in between. We spent a decade feasting on easy money, don't-pay-as-you-go consumerism and a metastasizing celebrity culture.

Except for the very unlikely event of being hit by a stray bullet, the country is very much as safe to walk around in as it was a decade ago.

The results seems to be a matter of memory. We asked people to name the century's best male and female singers and for some their memories didn't extend back more than a decade or a year.
