Arms Quotes
We know what the birth of a revolution looks like: A student stands before a tank. A fruit seller sets himself on fire. A line of monks link arms in a human chain. Crowds surge, soldiers fire, gusts of rage pull down the monuments of tyrants, and maybe, sometimes, justice rises from the flames.

Base Quotes
Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static.

Bits Quotes
Even the cleanest air, at the centre of the South Pacific or somewhere over Antarctica, has two hundred thousand assorted bits and pieces in every lungful. And this count rises to two million or more in the thick of the Serengeti migration, or over a six-lane highway during rush hour in downtown Los Angeles.

Billion Quotes
Some global hazards are insidious. They stem from pressure on energy supplies, food, water and other natural resources. And they will be aggravated as the population rises to a projected nine billion by mid-century, and by the effects of climate change. An 'ecological shock' could irreversibly degrade our environment.

Above Quotes
Four years ago, I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. We have. We've blunted the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan, and in 2014, our longest war will be over. A new tower rises above the New York skyline, al Qaeda is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead.

Athlete Quotes
She's an awesome athlete with tremendous power. At the beginning, maybe there was a little fear in the back of her mind. But she's built confidence throughout the year. She's gotten stronger as the season's progressed and is in better shape because she hasn't had to sit out. She's a real competitor. The more competition she's in, the more she rises to it.

Bad Quotes
Business conditions for the life offices provide some grounds for optimism. We notice that in the recent reporting period, all life offices reported moderate to strong gains in their embedded values. This is a key determinant of the health of the life industry, and with strong rises in this key measure, the underlying business is not in bad shape.

Above Quotes
For me, the very last great strip is 'Peanuts.' After 'Peanuts,' there are a very few strips that I enjoyed for different reasons, but I don't think they were great. I don't think anything's come along since Charles Schulz - and I mean since 1950 - that I think rises above the professional or the eccentric into that realm of greatness.

Among Quotes
Globally, confidence is still positive but we can't expect sales to take off or spending to surge. What seems to be happening is that while the jobless rate is falling, people are seeing less salary rises as the 35-hour week brings wage moderation, so morale is not so good among consumers.

Above Quotes
To copy Nature? A boy with a camera can do that. To get the spirit of Nature? A woodman or a shepherd can follow the trail of the whistling wind to hoarded sunshine in distant wolds. But to interpret Nature and inform it with a human personality that rises above it, invokes the divine in it, is the work of genius.

Agencies Quotes
Well we want to know what the speculation is that is contributing to this, if there's price gouging going on, ... We want to know from state and federal agencies what kind of help is available, if there are tax credits that people should be applying for right now and most of all we want to get to the bottom of why we are seeing these exorbitant rises in natural gas prices.

Adjust Quotes
We are in a period of wet weather here in Northern California that has had significant rises on the rivers all of the way from the North Coast to the Sacramento River. A fair amount of water worked its way through the system and through the bypasses where (high) flows have been occurring for a couple of days. Storms have been coming as expected. Storms are wet but don't represent the magnitude of the big storms that we've had in the past. Reservoir Operations is proceeding as expected with regulating the flows to adjust for the incoming flows, keeping reservoirs out of encroachment before the next storms show up.
