Assumption Quotes
Sending greeting cards to aliens is hardly a new idea. In 2005, Craigslist solicited messages for broadcast to space by a transmitter in Florida, and in 2008, NASA beamed a Beatles song to the North Star (Polaris), on the assumption that any putative Polarians would appreciate the Fab Four's 1960s-genre compositions.

Almost Quotes
The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.
-
Artificial Quotes
Our computers double in capability on time scales of only a few years. It's hardly outrageous to believe that we will successfully develop thinking machines within a handful of decades, or at most a century or two. If that happens, these artificial sentients will quickly leave us behind.
-
English Quotes
In the French language, there is a great gulf between prose and poetry; in English, there is hardly any difference. It is a splendid privilege of the great literary languages Greek, Latin, and French that they possess a prose. English has not this privilege. There is no prose in English.

Adventure Quotes
We're in a period when capital spending has slowed to a waltz, corporate profitability is hardly visible, and balance sheets are just inundated with debt ? that's not a comfortable picture. Each day is a new adventure in the market. There's lots of money on the sidelines but no willingness to commit.
-
Call Quotes
There are plenty of millionaires who would pay millions to hang a Van Gogh painting on the wall, but hardly one that would have ever had the crazy nut over for dinner. I feel like the big companies are like that with musicians. They'll say, 'We love music! It's all about the music!' - but if a musician shows up at the door, they call security.
-
Accidents Quotes
Like all manufacturers of consumer products, Cooper has lawsuits filed against it for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, car accidents occur and there can be fatalities. We hardly believe plaintiff attorneys are in a position to judge the quality of our products or the quality of our manufacturing facilities.
-
Age Quotes
Lots of things can also happen between now and then (November 5th), not least among them injuries. I have had problems with my hand and back on and off over the years, which is hardly surprising when you have been fighting since the age of nine like I have. My left hand swells up after almost every fight.
-
Anchor Quotes
She will certainly bring a fresh face to the program. But a woman serving as sole anchor on an evening network newscast is so long overdue that it can hardly be regarded as making a powerful statement. ... CBS had a chance to revolutionize the evening news by totally remaking the show. Instead, they are putting a new person into an old, boring format.

Accurately Quotes
Of all cursed places under the sun, where the hungriest soul can hardly pick up a few grains of knowledge, a girls boarding-school is the worst. They are called finishing schools, and the name tells accurately what they are. They finish everything but imbecility and weakness, and that they cultivate. They are nicely adapted machines for experimenting on the question, ''Into how little space a human being can be crushed?'' I have seen some souls so compressed that they would have fitted into a small thimble, and found room to move there -- wide room. A woman who has been for many years at one of those places carries the mark of the beast on her till she dies.

Add Quotes
New services reflect the changing demographics of bank customers and banks' are adopting new strategies for retaining core deposits. The first baby boomers will turn 65 in 2011, and by 2030, one in five Americans is expected to be 65 or older. Add the trend toward increased equity ownership, and it's hardly surprising that more than half of the bankers expect to offer brokerage services (61%) and half will offer mutual funds (50%) in the next three years.

Complete Quotes
Obviously it was a very meticulously planned operation over a long period of time. A lot of organization, sophistication, a lot of technical sophistication, complete disregard of Kenyan and Tanzanian life. Therefore it would hardly be anything local as that you would find in Kenya or Tanzania.
-
Animal Quotes
I would often take this bus and go to a nearby village where I had hordes of animal friends. I was hardly around four or five years old then. The conductor was so used to seeing me hop on to the bus and get down at the same place, that he never asked any questions. The strangest part is, he never asked for a ticket either!
-
Crazy Quotes
I got into this to get back to the people, to work one-on-one with customers and employees. I definitely encourage an environment to share and have fun, but it's been so crazy successful that I'm hardly ever on the floor anymore. That's hard. But I have different places I want to take this brand, and that keeps it fun.
-
Audiences Quotes
I am just so proud of John. I can't hardly stand it, but I also look forward to watching a kid whose other hobby in those days was fishing in the lake on the backside at Campbellsville Country Club mesmerizing TV audiences for years to come and to think Kehoe wanted him to go to Louisville." ()
-
Bush Quotes
Bush thus made a strong statement that the court has room for highly distinguished justices and not-so-distinguished justices, for nominees who have made their reputations in the wider legal world and for nominees people have hardly heard of, for world-class lawyers and for lawyers he happens to know and like.

Anybody Quotes
Buck has a broad list of unique and memorable accomplishments. But we're talking about the best of the best. And why are we just now talking about Buck O'Neil and the Hall of Fame? There was no talk of Buck in the Hall of Fame in the '60s, '70s, '80s or early '90s. If Ken Burns hadn't featured him in his documentary about the history of baseball, hardly anybody outside of Kansas City would know who he is.
