Phyllis Nagy

When I was a kid in a small private school on Long Island and this event occurred, we were all fascinated. For years, I've been wondering what to do with the material. I think it should be an opera. They're all so operatic and passionate in their personalities.

We're going to send information about the Island only being a tank away when people request vacation information. We're looking forward to having a great summer this year.

Greg Schiano

When we got here, we declared an area we wanted to recruit. That was the state of Rutgers - the tri-state area and South Florida.

Shane Smith

We grow 50,000 plants from seed every year.

We benefit from foreign direct investment. Many Americans are employed by foreign companies with plants in the United States, for example in the automobile industry. So, trade is a two way street.

But, I think, we need to be careful not to embrace economic isolationism.

Deb Gaines

We are getting close (to where we need to be). We are improving from week to week. I enjoy seeing them smile and reaching them (as a coach). They have all stepped up this year and we have a couple of captains who are very passionate.

Michael Specter

The history of agriculture is the history of humans breeding seeds and animals to produce traits we want in our crops and livestock.

Thomas Yeager

Tim Roberts

There are some good individuals there. You can either help yourself or hurt yourself for seeds (in the Individual District) Saturday.

We're experiencing species loss at 1 every 15 minutes, and that's a conservative estimate.

We're pleased with the judge's decision. The decision is a win for the island fox, and the nine plant species that are endangered because of the feral pigs.

Janine Benyus

We're basically this very young species, only 200,000 years old. We're one of the newcomers, and we're going through the same process that other species go through, which is, how do I keep myself alive while taking care of the place that's going to keep my offspring alive?

Charles Lamb

Opinions is a species of property - I am always desirous of sharing.

Chaim Potok

As a species we are always hungry for new knowledge.

Louise Leakey

Every species becomes extinct; at some point, we will go extinct. The question is, as Homo sapiens, are we going to be able to adapt to the change that we're actually part of? We're causing such dramatic changes to the planet, so yes, you do stop and think, 'I wonder where we're headed.'

Louise Leakey

What the fossil record does do is to force us to contemplate our place on the planet. We are but one species of several hominids that inhabited Planet Earth, and like our distant cousins who went extinct fairly recently, our time on Planet Earth is also finite.

We both survived. It's all about surviving now, and getting to the next round of games. I'm sure both teams are happy to be playing yet.

Pam Gainey

We're just happy that we've still got life left. Once you get to this point of the season, it's all about surviving and advancing.

David Guarino

If the surviving company is French, it won't be eligible for the S&P 500 index.

He'd obviously been there a long time and whatever he was surviving on wasn't giving him that much nutrition. (He is) a big tall man, six foot two, six foot three, and he was just a walking skeleton basically.

Paul Reilly

I?d love to be able to contact any surviving relatives of the remainder of the crew. All my efforts so far have drawn a blank other than finding Lorne?s brother. It would be fantastic if any of the relatives in Canada, if traced, could be there for the dedication.

Steve Allen

What we want is a healthy canopy. If we go in there and say, 'Just plant a bunch of trees,' they'll just plant them in a random fashion. That may result in a tree not surviving more than a decade.

Mark James

We felt like the tide was about to turn. We had to play on all cylinders for four quarters and I think we played on 2 cylinders for two quarters. And the two quarters where we didn't play on all cylinders, it showed.

Maajid Nawaz

The only way we can challenge Islamism is to engage with one another. We need to make it as abhorrent as racism has become today. Only then will we stem the tide of angry young Muslims who turn to hate.

Darren Johnson

We are positioning ourselves for the future. We hope to turn the tide in the South.

John Timoney

We stopped the rescue operation around 11 o'clock (Thursday) night, ... As the tide came in, the structure began to move, and other parts began to collapse again. We made the decision to pull our divers out.

Sean McAlinden

Where there's not sales growth in the market at all everything is market share, everything is price and it becomes particularly vicious. There's no rising tides to lift any boats in this market.

Bill O'Reilly

Tide comes in, tide goes out, you can't explain it!

Bayard Taylor

And far and wide, in a scarlet tide, The poppy's bonfire spread.

Austin O'Malley

Wealth is a tide which flows into one place by ebbing from another.

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.

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.
