Capital Quotes
Throughout the industrial era, economists considered manufactured capital - money, factories, etc. - the principal factor in industrial production, and perceived natural capital as a marginal contributor.

Constantly Quotes
I just don't want to live in the past. I'm really disappointed by so many people of my generation who - in order to promote their new work, they have to constantly lean on their past. I don't want to be that type of artist... I see a lot of people out here doing really marginal music.

Act Quotes
Ultimately, the bill may rest on a shaky premise, as Clean Air Act permitting provisions seem to have only a marginal effect on decisions by oil companies to invest in new refining capacity, ... Industry and government analysts alike agree that profit margins are the most significant factor, and record profits from high gasoline prices have encouraged a major investment in added refining capacity.

Areas Quotes
Women whose math and physical science skills are marginal would choose to go into another school, whereas the women who are really strong in those areas are very confident and know they can compete, ...

Historically, in Chinese society, a woman's place in the family was never secure.

Consume Quotes
Keynesian modelling relies on marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to invest. The idea that if we give more money to the poor, they have a propensity to consume that's much higher than the wealthy, though I wish they would talk to my wife about that; she seems to have a propensity to consume.

Ball Quotes
It hit right on the edge of the dirt and the edge of my foot, ... I didn't hear anything. It was a really marginal ball off my foot. It barely nicked my foot...and took a funny bounce. I reacted and took off running. None of the umps really had a good look at it. I would have liked to hear foul ball from the get-go and get another shot with the bases loaded. I'll sacrifice that at-bat to help us break out that inning though.

Company Quotes
It isn't always about market share. You can always win market share by picking up customers that the number one company doesn't want.

Address Quotes
Marginal changes won't suffice. We need more than that for an agreement. They need to address the double problem of this proposal: It gives too little to the poorest countries and too much to Britain. The key issue today is how we finance enlargement and the related question of the British rebate.

Bottom Quotes
The software industry, in some cases, has reached a tipping point where new features provide marginal value to small business users. While it is important to continue providing useful new features, it is equally important to improve ease-of-use, so users can get more value out of the products than they have been able to in the past. Small businesses simply don't have the time or resources to worry about their technology - it's incumbent on vendors to build products that help the bottom line, not hurt it.

Although Quotes
For example, a taxpayer in the 25 percent marginal tax bracket would save $250 in taxes by making a $1,000 contribution. However, as Dan explained, although the federal government will lose $250 in tax revenue there is $1,000 going to benefit hurricane victims that the government doesn't have to spend. Put differently - the taxpayer, the federal government and the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita all win.
