Maret Traber

Nick Saban

We're modern-day gladiators, that mental toughness, if you will, is really important to have in a good team. It's got to permeate your team and there has to be a core group of guys that buy in and believe in that.

Greg Hawk

We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right.

We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.

We're going to see what Bush says tonight, and we're going to see what Greenspan says tomorrow -- now that's a real one-two punch.

Allan Meltzer

What he's shown is that you can have full employment and low inflation at the same time. The Keynesian school didn't believe that, but Greenspan showed that it could be done.

Ken Tower

There is no person on the planet who is going to be able to fill Greenspan's spot without a test, ... I'm not sure that it's a coincidence that the market crash of 1987 happened two months after Greenspan took office.

Scott Graham

This will not alter Greenspan from his tightening course. As long as consumer demand remains healthy, he will be vigilant on the inflation front.

Anthony Chan

Yes, Greenspan does admit the obvious, that the real federal funds rate has risen considerably, but he quickly concludes that the rate 'remains fairly low'. This is Fed-speak for the notion that the Fed will continue to raise rates by a quarter percentage point...as far as the eye can see.

Bernard Baumohl

On the other hand, Greenspan seems satisfied that his tightening has had a lasting effect. He's likely to stand pat for the rest of the year.

Alice Rivlin

I wouldn't expect him to do anything different than Greenspan - certainly not at the beginning.

Tom Schlesinger

I would bet anything they rue the day they got trapped into these terms like measured, patient. The signals Greenspan and others have given is that measured still the way they want to present their stance. It's now measured with a 'but,' behind it though.

Gary Thayer

If we hadn't heard from Greenspan last week that the Fed is still worried about an uneven recovery, we might be more upset about these numbers. But Greenspan is concerned that these retail sales numbers could falter later on so these numbers probably won't have that great an impact.

John Shaughnessy

What we're seeing happening is the best of all worlds. The economy is strong yet inflation remains quiescent. The earnings outlook remains reasonably good. Given those things, the money continues to flow into the market from both domestic and foreign sources.

Jeff Cheah

What all this tells us and is certainly telling the Fed is that maybe we need to examine what the sustainable growth rate really is. The risk is that we have an economy that is growing at a pace that historically suggests we should see inflation pressures, but we're not seeing that yet.

Allan Meltzer

What he's shown is that you can have full employment and low inflation at the same time. The Keynesian school didn't believe that, but Greenspan showed that it could be done.

Donald Ratajczak

We're going to have high energy prices, a little bit more inflation. Underlying inflation is going to be a little bit higher, but not seriously higher and I still feel good about the overall economy.

Geoffrey Dicks

Unless or until the revival in the housing market translates into higher consumer demand, it is the weakness of the latter that is of greater relevance to the inflation outlook -- and hence the policy decision.

Investors covet past improvements but also always believe pricing unimaginable future creativity and efficiency gains is Pollyannaish. And they're always wrong. Bet on it.

Kenneth Fisher

Hundreds of investors ask me questions each year about the dilemmas they confront. Their worst problem? Uncertainty. They are traumatized and become emotional or confused to the state of inaction. Even worse, they try to solve a short-term problem in a way that hurts them financially in the long run.

Scotty George

What we're seeing today and what we have been seeing for the last week is a drying up of sentiment as investors wait for some definitive resolution of world events and some new corporate catalysts.

Peter Cardillo

What we're seeing here is investors becoming increasingly nervous, awaiting the economic data tomorrow (Thursday). Profit warnings and future growth (concerns) are overshadowing the enthusiasm that we saw develop late yesterday -- it's a feeding process.

Brad McGee

What we're hoping is that what we're providing investors now is a little bit of certainty.

Dan Veru

We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties. The stock dropped from 100 in late March, to a low of $21. This is a company with a real business model that had blowout first-quarter earnings. And they are actually going to turn a profit in 2001. Investors went from 'everything Internet is good', to the 'everything Internet is bad' mantra. So now you've got to do your homework and look at individual names and identify the business models that are valid. And I think this is one that can go back to its old high.

Mark Sutton

We believe today's investment environment presents excellent opportunities for those with buy-and-hold strategies, and we encourage all investors ? particularly those with less experience in the markets ? to stay focused on their long-term investment goals.

Denise Garcia

We believe this position will ultimately bode well with its users and will not have a significant impact on current traffic and consequent advertising revenues. We recommend investors take advantage of any declines in the stock price today as an opportunity to buy.

Jamie Dixon

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

Casey Rabach

We've always seemed to be able to overcome, and the last two weeks it just wasn't happening. It was disappointing, because we know we're better than that.

Jamie Dixon

We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.

Jerry Sloan

We've always had a rule in the last second or so: get next to your man. We weren't even close to the guy.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Philip Goodhart

We've always had a broader cultural coverage, particularly in the last three or four years We have short stories in every issue. We have more of an interior life. Perhaps the mistake was not to make more noise about that in the earlier issues.

We've always done majority rule. You can't give veto power to one board member. That's a terrible choice. I think it's a real mistake and will create a lot more problems than it will solve.

Darnell Jenkins

Chris Liddell

We remain confident in our growth prospects and have an exciting product line-up, which includes major releases like Xbox 360, SQL Server 2005, Office 12 and Windows Vista.

Matthew Fassler

We remain concerned with the company's longer-term positioning, given its choppy sales showing despite significant store-level investment, and its poor return on capital. The majority of its remodeled stores should have yielded their most significant same-store sales impact in 2002, and we see few tangible growth drivers ahead.

Romeo Serra

We respect the position of the CBCP in regard to the mining issue although we believe that the revitalization of the mining industry presents as a major viable alternative in the effective abatement of poverty in Mindanao.

James McTevia

We're going to see major, major changes in the way vehicles are manufactured and who's going to be doing the manufacturing. We haven't seen the last of it yet.

Ricardo Zuniga

We're in a whole new realm of experience here. People expect quick answers based on the paradigm they're used to. But this is not TV.

Jack Reynolds

We're riding a paradigm shift in how people buy and sell goods, and we need a media services company with a cutting-edge, fresh approach to effectively reaching the consumer. We selected Palisades Media Group because their direct marketing approach combines creative solutions and the strategic thinking of brand marketing, with the added value of partnership marketing and immediate gratification of direct sales. Their expertise will be an integral part of our cutting edge business.

Elizabeth Janeway

Love between women is seen as a paradigm of love between equals, and that is perhaps its greatest attraction.

Antonis Samaras

I do not want Greece to become the negative paradigm for the others - i.e., "make sure you follow exactly what we tell you, otherwise you will be like Greece."

Sam Bhavnani

Nobody buys traditional handhelds anymore. The entire market underwent a paradigm shift. The mass adoption of cell phones eliminated the need for basic PIM (personal information management) functionality from a Palm Pilot.

Sam Bhavnani

Nobody buys traditional handhelds anymore, ... The entire market underwent a paradigm shift. The mass adoption of cell phones eliminated the need for basic PIM (personal information management) functionality from a Palm Pilot.

Andrew Kenny

I wish there was some paradigm shift in the economics of independent music and we could afford to keep this going for longer. It's just kind of expensive. As long as we're still having a really good time and as long as we're good friends, this seems like the perfect time to not necessarily quit but change the formula a little bit.

Scott Howell

The chalkboards are no longer cutting it. We've got to adapt education at every level to this new paradigm to keep our kids competitive. Affordability of technology has to be at the forefront of everything we do.

Karl Schroeder

I remember the moon landings, and Apollo was the paradigm by which all progress was measured at that time. And I knew that creating a true space-faring civilization was both possible and practical. What I failed to realize was that the effort would fail due to bureaucratic inertia and political apathy.

Mark Fredrickson

We've always had a policy of qualifying and buying the very best technology that we can put in our systems. We intend to continue to buy disk drives from IBM, contingent on their ability to meet our standards.

Linda Lightfoot

When we were dealing with the paper world and you were allowed to see the file, you could view the ideas that went into policy development. E-mail is very easy to be lost, and it is a lot more difficult to follow.

David Kendall

We respectfully object to the committee's broad request for all information concerning all persons who have contributed or pledged more than $5,000 to the foundation. There are serious and substantial legal, precedential and public policy issues raised by this catch-all request.

Richard Costigan

We're somewhat disappointed. We've been working with the Legislature all year on a great policy bill. ... We really worked up until the 11th hour.

Dan McLagan

We're going to see all kind of things going around as people more intent on playing politics than making policy enter the fray.

Marc Levesque

What we're seeing in terms of currency movements - and it will probably continue at least over the near-term - is a shift in global monetary policy expectations. There's a gearing-down of expectations for Fed tightening, coupled with increased tightening expectations elsewhere.

Mayor Mazzarella

We would try to block the auction if they try to sell the license. It's city policy that we do that. The license is for the business that you give it to.

Bill Reinsch

We would probably say it's a mistake. You get kind of short-term satisfaction on the part of the university, but in the long run, you mostly hurt poor people. ... Basically, there's a negative economic impact on the poorest people, and it doesn't affect government policy or the people running the government.

Craig Holman

What he's doing here is frankly astonishing. This kind of coordination is obviously an attempt to get around legal contribution limits. The bottom line is that public policy is being made not by principle, but by payment up front.

Dan Abrams

We've approached a few of the other businesses in this area and had a very positive response,

Pat Brown

When we were younger, education was not an option; it was something that we were expected to do. I wanted to do something positive in the community where I grew up.

Holly Johnson

When we were practicing for Italy that was one of my main things I talked to Coach Sue and Coach (Cori) Close about - how do I bring that leadership in that two spot? I think it's still coming up and being encouraging and still being positive and energetic.

Jeret Peterson

When we were all down and out, having the worst time of our lives -- we were cold and we were miserable -- Emily was bawling, but she still had a smile on her face. Emily is one of the most positive people I know.

Heath Schroyer

When I talk to kids about this place, I spend all my time talking about what a great place this is, not all that other stuff, ... There are enough positive things to talk about with this program and this community.

John Bridges

We remain very positive on the precious-metals space based on the supply-demand fundamentals for gold and the spillover into silver.

Alan Rifkin

We remain very positive on the home improvement sector and Home Depot's prospects, particularly given current valuation levels. Home Depot shares are currently trading in line with the five-year historic low forward price-to-earnings ratio, based on consensus estimates.

Patrik Schowitz

We remain positive on equities but it might be time to take money off the table in the most straightforward (cyclical) sectors.

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.

Jacques Rogge

We remain with our zero tolerance policy, so that the fight against doping remains the very first priority of the International Olympic Committee.

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.

Scott Wilson

We're going to take as long as it takes. Our people are very good at human remains recovery and we're having some inclement weather now that we're taking precautions against.

John Shaughnessy

What we're seeing happening is the best of all worlds. The economy is strong yet inflation remains quiescent. The earnings outlook remains reasonably good. Given those things, the money continues to flow into the market from both domestic and foreign sources.

Jess Blackburn

What he is saying is that $80 billion remains a viable and reachable goal. He's not being as specific as to the timeline.

Stephen McCausland

What sparked this? A lot of work remains before we have any answers, and some of those answers we may never get.

George Hamlin

United certainly made a lot of cost reductions. But whether they really had a metamorphosis to compete without the help of a bankruptcy court remains to be seen.

Rebel Talbert

Unfortunately it looks like we have had human intervention but whether that's accidental or deliberate remains to be seen.

Lara Rhame

U.S. treasury yields are rising and we've seen that support the dollar across the board. The dollar remains strong on the back of solid U.S. economic data and expectations that the 10-year yield is going to continue to go higher.

Henry Hyde

We're meeting with each other, trying to coordinate the managers, we have several as you know, and each has an assigned task, and we're busily preparing our remarks and trying to time them and make sure they are coherent and comprehensive, ... So, just the usual preparation for a trial.

Gretchen Rubin

A person with 'oppositional conversational style' is a person who, in conversation, disagrees with and corrects whatever you say. He or she may do this in a friendly way, or a belligerent way, but this person frames remarks in opposition to whatever you venture.

Gretchen Rubin

I'm a compulsive note-taker, and I used to feel self-conscious about pulling out my little notebook and taking notes during a casual conversation. Then I noticed that people really seemed to enjoy it; the fact that I was taking notes made their remarks seem particularly insightful or valuable. Now I don't hold myself back.

David Denby

The action comes at us through a buzz of nattering remarks.

C. S. Lewis

I object to that remark very strongly! - The Magician's Nephew

Toru Umemoto

Politicians' remarks opposing a policy shift have reduced expectations of an early end to the deflation-fighting policy and raised concern over the independence of the central bank. It also harms the government's credibility; It's yen negative.

Drake Bell

I was scrolling through my Twitter feed one day, and somebody had tweeted me a picture of Justin Bieber that had been Photoshopped with makeup or something. And I thought it was funny and so I hit retweet - I just retweeted a tweet - and all of a sudden, the remarks were coming in.

Salmon P. Chase

The President then proceeded to read his Emancipation Proclamation, making remarks on the several parts as he went on, and showing that he had fully considered the whole subject, in all lights under which it had been presented to him.

Richard Durbin

He has the right to say what he believes, ... but all of us should be denouncing these remarks as totally irresponsible.

Hugh Johnson

When it appears as though the governors of the Federal Reserve believe that the end of the rate increases is near, that's very good news for investors. A lack of ambiguity from the Federal Reserve is always a little bit of a shocker.

Larry Wachtel

We remain in a stimulus vacuum and the underlying motif this week will be the Federal Reserve meeting next week.

Allen Sinai

What we're seeing is aggressive taking out of insurance by the Federal Reserve to make sure we don't have anything like the 1920s or 30s happen.

Judy Miller

Very few parents do save for college in their child's early years. When I counsel young parents, I make it clear that they have emergency reserves to protect them for unexpected events and so they don't have to use these education funds as a first line of support.

Robin Clements

With the likelihood that the Reserve Bank will be easing sooner rather than later, and other parts of the world actually raising rates, the pressure's going to remain on the currency.

Michael Every

With the import side holding up more strongly than exports for now, the Reserve Bank is unlikely to respond with lower interest rates in the near term.

Chester A. Arthur

Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.

Cheryl Strayed

The amount that she loved us was beyond her reach. It could not be quantified or contained. It was the ten thousand named things in the Tao Te Ching’s universe and then ten thousand more. Her love was full-throated and all-encompassing and unadorned. Every day she blew through her entire reserve.

James Matthews

We are seeing annual bonuses, which used to be reserved for the professional-level employee, being used more broadly in lower levels in the organizations, represented in our study by the manufacturing employee.
