Factor Quotations | Page 4

I think the first factor is the music. I think the second is their individuality. And I really think the third was that if you take their music today, and you played it to an audience that never heard of the Beatles, and played their 20 or 30 best songs, the music would be as fresh today as it was in 1970 or 1966. It's timeless.

I think the Fed's watching Asia very closely right now. The impact of Asia is still to be felt and that's one factor among many that will keep the Fed from raising rates.

I think the excitement factor is crucial. I think that we desperately need inspiration and we desperately need an investment in our long-term future.

I think the dome is a factor for a team that's never played in one. Lamar Butler was quoted yesterday saying he'd never even been in a dome. There's a problem developing the proper depth perception.

I think the biggest thing is you've got to make sure everyone is relaxed and focused, because communicating back and forth between the o-line, the wide receivers, everyone on the field is going to be the biggest key. Obviously, there's a lot that can happen when the noise level goes up. Guys start losing their focus and let other things become a focus, so that's going to be the biggest factor - making sure guys are relaxed and focused.

I think the biggest factor in that game was that we had three errors that led directly to runs being scored. They were on routine plays and errors on routine plays happen, and it's just unfortunate and it was a situation where we needed to keep the score at three. If you put extra runners on, the possibility is there it is going to bite you and it bit hard tonight.

I think the biggest factor for them is total confusion. We try and make their life as normal as possible and not have them feel singled out.

I think the biggest factor for him was the proximity to his family. His father passed away when he was just a tot, when he was three or four years old, so he is very close with his mother and his family there.

I think the atmosphere is nowhere near what it was in 2000 because I had won the U.S. Open by 15 and the British Open by eight, so 23 shots in two tournaments is pretty good. This year I've won two major championships. The Masters was a little bit closer, but I won the British by five. The atmosphere is also a little different because I've done this before. I guess from some of the media I talked to the novelty factor is not there anymore; I've already done it.

I was clearly the best hurdler in 1980, and not getting a chance to go to the Olympics was very hurtful to me, ... It took me many, many years to address it. That was the single biggest motivating factor in going into football.

It is pretty clear to us that from a long-term trend perspective the phenomenon of Dubai is real. We might have debates around absolute valuations at any given point of time, which is what people do when they are picking stocks, but in terms of the long-term I think we are fairly comfortable with Dubai as an economy that will be a significant factor in the region as well as globally. This is why we are putting significant resources here.

It is possible to claim only through extrapolation, by abstracting, by redrawing the man from his voyage of his own imaginary Destiny that the Creating Factor and Unique Accidental one, the Matrix Word of Love is a God of man, because the Creating Factor and Unique Accidental one is the attribute of the Matrix Word of Creation and determines the image of Knowledge, it is a stranger to existence even if he determines it. It is a stranger and it is outside the existence because the Existence becomes a mere Personalisation of the Person, and the existence, just like other personalizations before it, has a infinity of opposites, and our Creating Factor which is Love, determines this infinity of opposites of the existence, thus making whole the infinite worlds of Knowledge, worlds of The Image, worlds of reflection, worlds with DESTINY!

It is possible he was concerned police would find out about the shooting and that's what led to the homicides on Christmas morning. Why he committed the homicides, only he'll ever know. But we believe this may have been a contributing factor to why he did what he did.

I thought we played great defense in the first half. But what we didn't do was capitalize on that on the offensive end. Because of that we didn't get the score up like we wanted to. The pace was definitely a pace that Orion wanted and it was a big factor in the game.

I thought that was a huge factor with the rebounding margin.

I think that nerves were a factor today. This was a big game for us.

I think what we are seeing is the detribalizing of Protestantism, in that if you have a large external constituency, which would identify culturally or historically with a particular denomination, then obviously it's a plus factor to have that identification,

I think that certainly is a factor in some of the scores. It takes more time to get a shot against a zone than it does man-to-man. Teams that are playing zone probably aren't fouling as much, so you aren't getting as many points at the free throw line.

I think that fear factor stuff is gone. I just don't think anybody in the country is afraid of anybody anymore. Teams just think they can walk in any building and win any game.

I think a seasonal factor is part of the issue here, but you can't discount it all. Look at what is happening with chain store sales. They've been pretty weak. Some of it (weak retail employment) is real.

I think it was a factor for Andy. It started to swell up, ... Unbelievable.

I think it was a combination, ... They're young while we've got a lot of kids with a year's experience or more under their belt. That experience factor means a lot. And we're a little bit bigger and stronger, but I thought they were pretty well organized.

It goes to show you he has a comfort factor with the power he has at Disney.

I think they were already frustrated. The money was a factor (before), but now it's a much bigger factor. Now it's really hitting them in the pocketbook.

I think that the advantage of having an 'all clear' is that you have a factor which you can use in the scheduling of EVAs. This allows you to avoid times that are less fortunate. I believe this will be important as we return to the Moon.

It is not the fear factor that makes me want to avoid Cameroon. It is a tactical matter. It is best to avoid the strongest teams in the last eight. But I repeat it has nothing to do with fear.

It is not just disposable income but whether people feel good about their immediate future that drives sales. It is this feel-good factor that drives the purchases more and more than mere economic wealth.

I think that's more a factor for the national media than it is for the players that play here. If you do a statistical analysis of this ballpark since then, it's settled back to the middle of the pack, ... It certainly wasn't the offensive Mecca that some people thought it was.

I think that's been somewhat of a motivation factor for us coming into this year, to not get snubbed. That's why I think we took it one game at a time.

I think that this time of the year, the athletes are fatigued. They have gone through a long, grueling season already, and I think the home-ice advantage is even more of an edge than it is during the regular season. Especially when you are considering a series and everything that's on the line, I think the home-ice advantage is so much more of a factor now than it is during the regular season.

I think that may have been a factor into his decision, too.

It is no surprise to me that fundamental skills are breaking down. There is a lot to do in a very short space of time. One of the things put on the sidelines is work on basic skills. The breakdown of those skills has been a major factor in the losses.

I watched him and how much he enjoyed it. His success was probably a factor on my wanting to be a coach.

I will assure you after all these years that it is about relationships. There is a trust factor that has to go on between the lobbying community and the legislative community. They've got to trust us, and we've got to provide factual and truthful information, pros and cons, to them. And you can only do that once you've had a relationship with somebody.

I think they took ownership of what did or did not happen. Obviously there was a glaring lack of leadership during the game, which was I thought a real factor in how we responded and our lack of being able to pull together during some adversity. I think we'll learn volumes from this loss. Now we understand how much better we have to be at that level.

I think the mitigating factor for us was trying to find a way to overcome the free throw shooting.

It is a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract

It is an economic analysis, but the problem is that there's also an ego factor at many airlines. That's when a CEO says something like we need to have a presence in the Denver-to-London market even if it loses money because everyone else has it. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that. It's one of the biggest mistakes an airline can make.

It is always very difficult to assess the value of individuals but there is no doubt that Henrik will have a huge positive influence for us. He is also a great influence on the squad, the morale of the squad. His return is a very positive factor for us.

It is always neat to see a team make some great adjustments when it is down. Our depth was a huge factor in the win today. If everyone goes on the field and makes a positive impact like they did this afternoon, it will give us the opportunity to play 17 or 18 players a game.

It is always easy to put the blame on the curators if we don't come up to the expectations of those who run and play the game. Good weather and time factor are very crucial all the time.

I think there is a big push for families to feel they don't have time. It's a lot of media pressure. It's almost the norm to eat out. It's up to people to decide what they do. But I do think there is a lot of pressure on TV, a lot of images of people going out and eating, and frankly, eating out a lot is a risk factor for being overweight.

Jim Les has done a wonderful job with the program ... I really have a feeling Bradley is going to be a factor in the NCAA tournament for the next 20 years just because of this selection.

Kosovo is the tip of the iceberg. Below the water line the overwhelming factor has been a depressing combination of floundering growth and a weak currency.

Last year, ABC clearly set the pricing and they still have a lot of desirable shows that advertisers want. So they should be a key factor in where the market is going to go.

Last week was much more indicative of how we play. We're hoping the wind won't be a factor next week at districts, and if everything goes right, we could have a shot at qualifying for state.

Last time, we kind of got embarrassed at their place. They really took it to us - it was 31-13 at halftime - so we've got a bit of a revenge factor going for us.

Large companies from out-of-state still look at the Mormon factor and wonder if they can conduct business here. But with the Provo Airport gearing up, and if we get regular scheduled flights, that would help our growth.

Last night we challenged him in front of the whole team because I think in the last few games he didn't give us the games he should have. He responded and that's what I'm excited about. Some guys can't take getting called out in front of the team, but the guys that can use it as a motivational factor come out with games like he had tonight.

I think Danny might be wrong thinking we'll have butterflies. I think we'll be so excited and so pumped up to play that I doubt there will be any butterflies. I don't know how he felt but going into Cameron Stadium (at Duke last Saturday) I didn't have any butterflies myself. I was so excited. I think the excitement factor will cancel it out.

I think experience always plays a factor in it. I noticed in the summer that we had it when we would play bigger teams and bigger schools.

I think ethanol, rather than China, could be the No 1 factor affecting corn prices in the future.

I said coming into the game that it was going to be a battle of ... can they keep us away from the paint. And generally speaking, they were able to get us on the outside, keep us there with double teams, and certainly the way this game was called and played, it didn't allow us to be a factor in the paint.

Our hitters did a nice job of limiting their mistakes. That was a big factor in our being able to come back tonight.

Our priorities for 2006 will include completing the transition to a fully competitive retail market in Texas, converting to an open model in our wholesale business, improving the commercial capacity factor of our generating plants and managing our collateral exposure to reduce postings by $1 billion by year-end.

Our philosophy precedes from the belief that sport is an inalienable part of the educational process and a factor for promoting peace, friendship, cooperation and understanding among peoples.

Our results do not mean that temperature is the only or the main factor driving the increase in malaria, but that it is one of many factors that should be considered.

Our team goal is much bigger than one game. We're a big-picture team. We want to bring home the section crown. This was great for our young group of kids, the experience factor against a quality, veteran team.

Our strategy to grow internationally, broaden our distribution reach and diversify our product range has been a key factor in this achievement,

Our sponsorship program, which is really an important factor of that (record revenue), is critical to us going forward,

Our Creating Factor and Unique Accidental one left its print on a soil alien tot him, but on which human kind will germinate along with an infinity of other worlds.I think that the loss of the sacred self by the man on the roulette of history was due to the Matrix Word of Knowledge, or more precisely to the Mirror, that changed the meaning of the Self Love of man with the sense of the self Knowledge!

Our turnovers obviously were a big factor in losing the game. We had 14 turnovers at halftime, but our offense went astray.

outside of the students and the preparation that you had before you arrived at school, there is no question that the quality of the teacher is the single most important factor in how much a student learns.

Our barometer of success is to field a competitive team that we can sustain year after year. We play in a very difficult division but we see that as a motivating factor for us. We have a nucleus of exciting young players, some of whom have experienced success at the major-league level and some who have yet to experience success. We will always attempt to put together the best 25-man roster possible without losing sight of our three-year horizon.

Our biggest unknown factor is the Santa Ana winds.

Rising tension (between Iran and the West) could have an impact on oil prices and that is a negative factor for the dollar.

Rising commodities prices definitely contributed to the fortune of the Canadian dollar today. Commodities have been a positive factor for the Canadian dollar in 2005 and the market expects good news to continue this year.

Retail results will also be closely watched. One other factor we're watching related to oil is the effect the high prices could have on consumer spending.

Retailers in our Merchant Network have found that customers that select the Bill Me Later option typically have higher average order values than those that opt for other forms of payment. This can be a particularly important factor for retailers of big ticket items such as jewelry. The added security and convenience of Bill Me Later helps retailers turn browsers, who in the past might have been hesitant to purchase more expensive items such as jewelry online, into buyers.

Responsive leaders prefer knowledge and information to be spread as widely as possible among the population, because an informed public is necessary to govern effectively, independent thought produces original ideas and is the key factor by which we progress as a society. When independent thought is stifled society is and will remain stagnant until it is free to flourish once again.

Piracy in all its forms has been the major factor in this reversal but not the only factor.

Players will be able to assemble their character from pieces of other Star Wars characters that they have unlocked by progressing through the game. When you factor in all of the pieces that you can mix and match to create your own character there are, I swear, millions of different combinations that can be made.

Really, the economy is the largest factor that's out there.

Reducing the budget deficit more quickly would certainly be a positive factor in the rating sense,

Regis really turned the genre around, didn't he? He put such a cool factor on the whole game-show genre, ... Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Our recruiting efforts have been built on establishing positive relationships, and that was a key factor in Tyler choosing our program. I appreciate the hard work (associate head coach) Craig Neal puts forth in his recruiting efforts. Those efforts are paying dividends for the program.

Part of her payment is based on the hope and expectation that she is going to become very good very quickly. The other factor is the platform in which she plays is healthy and growing.

Paul did a great job to get the first pole for the GTO.R. He was able to pull it out at the last moment by a tenth. Marc did a good job in the 65 car; he and Andy are taking a measured approach to these weekends and are a definite factor for the GT series championship.

Our load factor (the percentage of seats filled in October last year) was only 56% of what they offered. With that as one of the arguments, you'd look at providing fewer seats.

Our organization is not in support of this. This new excise tax will become one more factor in the housing costs in the San Juan Islands. And the people who will be hurt the most are those people who are trying to get their first house. It raises the bar for everyone.

Our No. 1 goal is to get that money out as expeditiously as possible. The limiting factor will be the number of contractors available.

People have realized that the dollar is important for gold but it's not the only factor and you cannot slavishly trade gold just simply because of what's happening to the dollar.

People have pretty much adjusted to the risk factor of earthquakes and go about their daily lives.

People may want to call it the Moss factor or whatever they want, but there is no doubt in my film study, the vertical stretch that Randy brought that offense is sorely missed right now. When I look at the tape from last year with Moss in that lineup, you've got safeties sitting back there 18, 19, 20 yards, sometimes not even on the screen (of the coaching tape).

Sure, winning is important. Recruits want to go where they know they can win. For some out-of-state recruits, it was a factor in their decision. I believe people in the Chicago area and in-state know what we've done in recent years.

Surely the dollar makes pricing more competitive for U.S. companies. But it's more a noise factor than anything else on a short-term basis.

Sports programming is a very important factor in whether subscribers are asking for and signing up for our service,

Some of the homes today are pretty barren. A big factor is I call it 'the knickknack factor' it's clutter.

Someone, either a judge or a jury, must determine beyond a reasonable doubt that government has proven an aggravating factor beyond guilt.

Some market participants are expecting no rate increase unless CPI increases to 1 percent, but if Mizuno suggests the BOJ can hike rates before, it could be a selling factor for bonds.

That combined is a huge factor in winning and losing.

That doesn't factor in mortgage costs, but they wouldn't reduce those returns dramatically either. Of course, when prices are falling, leveraging can work in reverse. But that's infrequent with real estate. As long as you can service the debt, I think you're better off with the mortgage.

That blocked punt was a key factor for us winning the game. It is always nice when you call something and it works. It changed the momentum in the game.

My main motivating factor is the cost of funerals. That whole industry is not any place I want to spend my money.

My main motivating factor is the cost of funerals.

Many factors weigh into the final decision as to which players appear on the protected list. Economics today are a bigger factor than ever before. The desirability of any player is ruled by the salary he demands and the length of his contract.

Like it or not, even though Texas Instruments is pretty diversified, handsets are the determining factor for Wall Street.

Like those players in the bond market, stock players may have begun to factor in rate hikes in the future.

I was having the tree cut down as a safety factor because it leaned way over the house.

I think our momentum has played a huge factor and hopefully we can keep going in the big one.
