You don't lock into a ten-year family budget. You take it a year at a time - maybe even six months at a time.

We think that same principle should apply to the national family we call America.

What we're seeing this morning is in response to OPEC's comments and also some old-fashioned year-end book squaring. Oil prices rose sharply and then fell.

Tyson Slocum

What we're saying is, look, there's an easy way to pay for it: the oil companies. They've got record cash flows, record profits. Impose a new tax on them, use the revenues to dedicate to these programs.

Mark Waggoner

What they're saying is, not only will we cut off our oil but we're going to interfere with other people's oil as well.

John Travolta

When I was a kid in the 60s, believe it or not, most of you are younger and don't know that, but it was a blast to fly!

It was an event. It's so different today.

Steve Grossman

Tom Reillys case to the people of Massachusetts does not rest on where he stands on one particular issue or another.

We will start an investigation by interviewing them and checking for any evidence. We would heighten our patrol in that area whether it be by car or by foot and that is what we have done is this past particular instance.

Kathryn Hahn

I feel like there is something about having a copacetic world POV that helps in making a comedy. Like, David Wain has such a particular way of looking at the world. It helps when everyone can see behind his eyes, you know?

Jim Spears

What they're doing is, they're bringing in fresh air and trying to pump out the bad air, and that's constant in the air filtration system, so, in this particular case, even though there are high levels, as long as that fresh air is being pumped in, you never know where you might find it.

Wendelin Wiedeking

When we were buying, many others were also buying, and to a great extent in fact and at prices that we never would have wanted to pay.

Jim Wicklund

We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07. Visibility remains too good to worry too early, however.

Brian Archer

We're staring record energy prices in the face every day, it seems.

Julie Brough

We're stalled. When you see oil prices back up to their high, you've seen gold hovering around $600 US, people are making some really good money and I think there's a lot of people who are just taking the opportunity to crystallize some gains which is keeping the market at bay a little bit right now.

John Hofmeister

We respectfully request that Congress do no harm by distorting markets or seeking punitive taxes on an industry working hard to respond to high prices and supply shortfalls.

Jon Huntsman

We're some weeks away from putting our budget together, but I can tell you this, that energy prices as high as they are will affect costs across the board. There's no doubt about that,

Edward Hemmelgarn

We're going to see continued growth in demand for drilling activity and exploration activity. With prices up so high and profit so great now.

John Paquette

We've always said part of the reason for the repeat matches is for television.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done. We've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Rivers Cuomo

When we were putting the album together and finishing up the artwork, I didn't know what was going to happen in the future, and I told everyone that. I told them, 'Let's commit to this year, and see what happens,' ... And that was one of the reasons why I put that quote in there, because I thought it's a really nice way to say goodbye, if it is a goodbye.

Edmund White

When I was a child, I loved 'The Marble Faun' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The reason I liked it was because it had a beautiful binding. When you're a kid, you like books because they're pretty to look at, and this one had a white calfskin cover and gold edges. That was enough to make me love it.

Flip Saunders

Tony is a high-energy guy, and that's one of the reasons that when he became available, he was somebody we really wanted to look at. We thought he gave us a different dimension from what we had on the roster.

John Pickett

Tomorrow we've got a big labor number coming out and that may give someone a reason to get back in the market or to continue to get out.

Dennis Gartman

We remain fundamentally bullish on gold . . . for the very simple reason that there is growing disdain for currencies generally.

Scott Sanderson

We respect (Belmont). They try to do it the right way like we do. Both programs are on the rise and getting to play each other will be an absolute classic.

Randy Reid

We're going to see the cost of everything go up, just to get basic supplies here, shipping costs will go up, ... We'll have to deal with that as we go, we just have so much money to spend, it's always a challenge. ... Budgets are just a projection and it's so volatile, it's just hard to plan. If things rise in one area, we'll just have to make up with it in another.

Don Baylor

We're going to rise or fall as a state together.

Kenneth Fisher

If you've taken Econ 101, you know that the quantity of money rises only when the banking system makes a net loan.

Kenneth Fisher

People do dollar cost averaging because they have regret of making one big mistake. But the fact of the matter is that, mathematically, the market rises more of the time than it falls. It falls, but it rises more of the time than it falls.

Francesca Dominici

When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28 percent increase in admissions for each 10 microgram per cubic meter increase in fine particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects' response.

Francesca Dominici

When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28% increase in admissions for each 10 mg per cubic meter increase in fine-particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine-particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects? response.

Gerard Way

When we first started out I had a really big issue and a lot of my loved ones had a really big issue with the fact that I was totally in pain up there and there was a time when I tried to hurt myself off stage, but I got over that. Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person and I think that that is going to be a lot of what the next record is about, not to plug it or anything. Like, it's going to talk about dying and coming back to become what you totally want to become. We are all becoming what we want to become.

Steven Chercover

We would really need for the DOD to quantify the demand to assess whether prices for wood could rise in the market as a result. I don't think the consumer has something to worry about right now.

Johnathan Frakes

When I was just acting on the show, I learned my lines, went to sleep, then woke up and went to work. Now it's sort of become an obsession. I like the success. I'm thrilled with the way things have gone-but my life was simpler 10 years ago.

Dennis Gartman

We remain fundamentally bullish on gold . . . for the very simple reason that there is growing disdain for currencies generally.

Kent Beck

Design should be easy in the sense that every step should be obviously and clearly identifiable. Simplify elements to make change simple so you can manage the technical risk.

Katie Aselton

What I get really excited about are movies that I connect with emotionally. 'Deliverance' was on TV, and they don't really make movies like that anymore, just simple and scary. The truly scary thing is, 'I'm going to threaten your life, I'm going to threaten the people you love. What are you going to do about it?'

Gilbert Newton Lewis

When we discuss aqueous solutions of substances which do not contain hydroxyl, it is simplest to define a base as a substance which adds hydrogen ion.

Don Shula

When we got them together for the first time on the field, ... and had Woodley throwing on one side to a group of receivers and Marino on the other, it was so evident the ability Dan had throwing the football. Woodley was an athlete playing quarterback and Marino was a quarterback playing quarterback. You could just look at it and see, even in the simplest passing drills, that Marino had that great skill.

Lisa Whiting

What 15-year-old hasn't felt like that at one time or another? With all the evidence, I can't believe they're willing to call this a simple runaway based on one page in her dairy and something a friend said. She was mad because she couldn't go to a winter formal dance with her friends.

Andy Davidson

We wrestled above our seeds. It was totally a team win. If someone doesn't do his job, it doesn't happen. It's as simple as that.

Rick Adelman

We got to win that game. Simple as that.

Barbara Schneider

Work plays a significant role in the lives of working families, not only in the amount of time they spend at work but also with their attitudes toward work and how these attitudes and expectations spill over to the home, Overworking is very pervasive, but parents don't have the mechanisms to put the brakes on.

Kevin McMahon

We stopped the source of the spill and have deployed approximately 8,000 feet of boom to contain it. Our main goals are to protect people and the environment, so we're focusing our efforts on safely recovering the oil and minimizing impact to the environment and other businesses in the area. We're responding as aggressively as the weather conditions safely permit. No one has been injured, and we certainly want to keep it that way.

Eugenie Clark

It would be nice if we didn't have to drill for oil in the gulf. We have this shallow continental shelf on the west coast of Florida, and it would be a real disaster if we had a major oil spill there. It would be wonderful if we could find some other source of energy.

Lester Holt

There's no experience like going down an empty freeway toward a hurricane and then looking in the opposite lane and seeing bumper-to-bumper traffic, people fleeing that scene. Or going to a toxic spill and seeing people go the other way. You talk yourself into thinking you're invincible in order to do that.

Nariman Behravesh

Perhaps the single best piece of economic news in 2005 was that record-high energy prices did not spill over into the rest of the economy. While the Fed can be relaxed about inflationary risks in the U.S. economy, its role is to preempt.

Andrew Barrett

I would be very surprised to see this spill over for a prolonged period of time.

Gennady Zyuganov

If we fail to reach an agreement here, everything will spill out to the streets.

Kurt Braunohler

In my new IFC comedy game show, 'Bunk,' we actually use our intern Patrick as a human timer - giving contestants the time it takes for him to wade through a bag of broken glass for a razor blade, to get gum out of his hair, to pick up every strand from a box of spaghetti I spill on the floor, etc, etc.

Ashraf Laidi

We can expect to see worse numbers to come. The simple reason is when there is a rise in oil prices that increase in oil price for a particular month does not tend to spill over into the trade deficit until the next month.

David Henderson

What they will do is capture all kinds of other people in their net and reduce our privacy in the process, ... This is government we are talking about and government tends to use whatever it has.

Andy Serkis

When we, as humans, articulate, our tongues tend to hit the back of the teeth.

Roger Branham

When we get to the district, our kids tend to crank it up a notch and get the job done. Our goal is to win at least two matches at state and place.

Andy Brandt

When we get a lead, we have a tendency to sit back.

Steven Gerrard

What a lot of people tend to overlook when discussing Peter is that he's excellent on the floor as well as in the air

Marcia Muller

We writers of series fiction tend to idealize ourselves in our characters, giving them attributes we wish we possessed and ever more interesting lives.

Michael Weatherly

What happens with 'Mad Men,' it's like an Elvis Costello album; I'll watch it, and then I immediately have to watch it again. AMC will play it back-to-back. I have a tendency to yell at it when my wife's not around because if she catches me yelling at 'Mad Men,' then it gets weird.

Ryan Jumonville

What happens with any program or any product, if one health plan picks it up, the others tend to follow suit.

Carol Mann

What happens is that women tend to panic when they're losing it. Whereas, generally speaking, men, rather than panic, go to another place: resignation. At a U.S. Open, panic is worse. Your brain floods, everything slips away, and there is nothing you can do.

Yale Hirsch

We've always had periods when something came in vogue, ... This is different because of the Internet. It keeps on going and the riches just keep astounding everybody. All the traders that come up today naturally gravitate toward Internet stocks.

Jessica Dickson

When we were up six and seven, we have to learn how to put teams away. We didn't need to trade baskets, we needed to get stops.

Mike Ryan

We're so dependent on foreign capital that, if you could see any weakness in the dollar it could come on Friday with the trade numbers. If we see a sharply above consensus reading for trade, there could be some concern about the sustainability of that trade gap and that could certainly weigh on the dollar.

Lara Rhame

We're getting to a phase where European data could have more of an impact because a solid U.S. economic scenario is so widely expected. The markets are also very thin, so traders aren't taking on large amounts of risk.

Thomas Murphy

We're getting tied up in too many things. We need to get that bunch that bombed the World Trade Center first.

Patrick Mason

We're going to see more software acquisitions at higher valuations. Stocks naturally will trade higher when you raise the bar.

Peter Gignoux

What we're seeing this morning is in response to OPEC's comments and also some old-fashioned year-end book squaring. Oil prices rose sharply and then fell. The market is doing some to-and-fro action, where traders saw the fluctuations and thought about pulling back instead of buying at the higher prices.

Thomas Shannon

What we're looking to do is find ways to unlock some of these economies so they get the kind of investment they need, they get the kind of trade they need and they have the flexibility within their labor markets to generate employment.

H. Hart

What this administration has done ... is to say that until someone tells us that 19 men are going to hijack four airplanes and fly them into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon at 9 a.m. on September 11, we are not accountable, ... In the Money.

David Corbin

We've asked the city to continue its consideration of the project until April. We want time to look at our options with regard to Holiday House specifically and our overall employee housing needs in general. At this point, we want to go back and revisit our full employee housing goals.

Clint Hurdle

We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.

Jimmy Kimmel

When I was on the radio, I used to be able to go a lot farther than I can now. You don't really remember until you're on the radio again, sometimes in your old radio station and sitting with the guys you used to work with and you go, 'Oh yeah, I can't say these things anymore. I'm handcuffed.'

Susan Vreeland

When I was nine, my great grandfather, a landscape painter, taught me to mix colors. With his strong hand surrounding my small one, he guided the brush until a calla lily appeared as if by magic on a page of textured watercolor paper.

Nancy Gordon

When I was little, I took ballroom dancing, but didn't do any kind of dancing again until I started this.

Tim Reznich

When it comes time to play (in the postseason), we have to be ready. We can't wait until the last game to get ready. With this schedule we'll have to be sharp every night or some of these teams are going to take it to us.

Deborah Copaken Kogan

When it comes down to it, I believe that, having made the decision to bring children into the world, I owe it to them to be as present as I can in their daily lives and to try my best to stay alive until they've made it through to adulthood.

Dan Edwards

When I was a kid, Henryetta was 'town' to me. I helped build the Indian Nation Turnpike and spent many hours laboring in this area. I think Henryetta is a great place to be and I plan to stay here until I retire.

Richard White

When I was a kid growing up and my dad owned the drug store, it stopped dead on Labor Day. That was it. People left, and you didn't see them again until Memorial Day. There was no Columbus Day, no Thanksgiving, no New Year's Day. There was none of that.

Debra Gill

We've always been the kind of people who like to help others. Now, it has been just one thing after another, but we know there are people still doing worse than we are.

Alex Pareene

We're getting the sort of 'compromise' American politics specializes in: the one where things are intentionally made worse for most people in the hopes that if things are made bad enough, the other side will cave.

Cindy Sheehan

We're going to do what we do all the time: gather together in peace. We're going to call for George Bush and the neo-cons not to invade Iran. That would be a mistake even worse than Iraq. Our children are sitting ducks in the Middle East; the people of Iran and Iraq would be sitting ducks. And I'm not even sure that this invasion won't lead to World War III. So it's something that we have to stop before it starts.

Garry Houston

What a day. I was a bit disgusted coming off the 17th, but the lob wedge on the last spun back nicely and went in. There is no way I can play worse tomorrow than I did today. I felt like an eight-year-old again.

Charles Barron

What he did in New Orleans -- I mean, that's worse than what Bull Connor did in his entire career as a racist in the South. Look at these neighborhoods before Katrina hit. Bush made that community what it is. Katrina did the rest, in partnership with Bush, to deliver the final blow.

John Triplett

We found out we won't have Marianne and that her eye has gotten worse since she got here.

Kriss Costa

We believe this year will be worse because the virus is already established. Last year, Sacramento was hit hard, and now Santa Clara County has the most infected birds in the state so far.

Carl Neill
