Slow Quotations | Page 6

Having said that, the leading indicators of GDP are pointing to a very significant slowdown. From here it would appear growth for the final quarter will slow and for the first few months of next year as well.

Having to brake or be slow to get a better start number does not make sense. Braking is not something a skier should have to do. It isn't part of racing.

Happy are those few nations that have not waited till the slow succession of human vicissitudes should, from the extremity of evil, produce a transition to good; but by prudent laws have facilitated the progress from one to the other!

Having one or two things slow us down isn't particularly unexpected. We are going to have a very robust spacecraft.

He's a ball mover. It's not that our offense has been so slow ... we ran the same stuff when he was in the game and looked pretty good. Moving, cutting, being sharp, understanding how hard you've got to play, tighten every possession up, pay attention to detail ... he does that as well as anybody we have, if not better.

He's a great kid. He has that great mentality that, 'I'm not going to quit.' He has that football mentality. I hated to see him get off to a slow start. I wondered how he would handle it. I thought if anyone could handle it, he could handle it, from that football mentality.

He's 19, so everybody's got to slow down, give the kid a chance to breathe. We realize what his upside is, but we realize we have a ways to go.

Gold could move up from...where we stand at the moment. I would be surprised to see a massive increase in prices, but a slow creep up towards just below $570 would be on the cards this week.

Gold could move up from the $562 where we stand at the moment. I would be surprised to see a massive increase in prices, but a slow creep up towards just below $570 would be on the cards this week.

He's a slow starter and it's been that way most of the season -- he gets better as the match goes on. I don't know what fired him up, but he got a second wind and it was over.

He's been punishing the ball pretty good over the past five or six games, just line drives into the gaps. He got off to a relatively slow start and whether that was some tentativeness with his knee situation, I'm not sure. But he's been hitting his stride lately.

He's hitting too hard right now. We've got to slow him down some. He's a tough, good-looking inside linebacker.

He's got something other players don't. He's able to slow his body down a half-second, so he can make the shot because he's always under control.

His performance was tremendous. He played liked he was one of the better players in the conference, and unfortunately, we didn't have anyone that could slow him down.

Historically we have seen strong home improvement spending in the wake of a slow economy. The stock market has been less secure in the last 18 months or so than it had previously been. So instead of the stock market, people were investing in their homes.

Historically, and unfortunately, and this doesn't reflect on Allen County's situation, law enforcement often is slow to come around to being willing to involve the emergency management coordinator, perhaps due to a reluctance to sharing the responsibility,

Hollies are number one. Anything in the holly family is cold-hearty and slow growing. You don't have to cover them in winter and you don't have to cut them back much.

He's a tough guy to contain. We did a good job the first half of fronting him and denying him the ball, but we got tired in the second half and he does a great job of sealing off guys and our backside help was little slow getting there.

He's going to come out and try to blow right by us, ... We just have to find ways to slow him down.

The pace of this growth will slow down, but probably not until we approach 2008.

The pace of our export growth has already slowed significantly, and will slow further if global demand remains suppressed,

The raisin exercise makes you aware of sights, sounds, scents and tastes. Now I relax, slow down, and take time to appreciate things around me -- a bird or a cricket, the wind in the trees. Meditation makes my life a little more peaceful. It's made me a better me.

The raises in interest rates will reduce the willingness and ability of consumers to continue their pace of borrowing. This is both directly -- through the cost of debt -- and indirectly -- because it's likely to slow house price appreciation.

When they got two more runs to put us down six, I think we got down a little bit. The next thing you know, it was a slow and agonizing death.

We have to avoid becoming stagnant. We knew at some point Orlando would hit a stretch where they hit shots. We also knew that when that happened we had to keep the ball moving on offense and not slow it down and get into isolation plays. That bogged us down in recent games. I thought we did a good job of staying away from that.

We long ago pulled down the great wall which divided us from democratic Europe, but equally we tolerate the slow and inconspicuous growth of new walls, no better than those which fell,

We look for the report to confirm that economic activity remains strong. Retail spending will slow later this year but that hasn't shown up yet, and business investment should continue to be pretty strong as companies expand offices and factories.

We looked real slow with the bats tonight. Being outside for the first time with live pitching, that was a tell-tale sign.

We made some adjustments in the second quarter to slow the pace a little bit. We tightened up defensively and tried to limit them to one shot.

HP's problems with services are not uncommon. IBM has had issues like that, too, of late. The larger problem with tech today (Friday) and in the last month has been that improvement in semiconductor capital equipment, like Applied Materials, doesn't transfer over to the rest of the tech sector. While tech fundamentals are turning, the evidence of that has been slow coming.

Human nature is not totally fixed, but on any realistic scale, evolutionary processes are much too slow to affect it.

He was flying. Even on film, you almost had to slow it down.

He was excellent. He started out slow for us the first couple games, and see, I didn't know if it was right take him back. But he's our leader, our floor leader and our defensive leader. Everybody wanted to take him back.

He was struggling right of out of spring training with coming back for the third year in Double-A. When he got off to the slow start I think he was just questioning his passion for the game. His main decision was he wanted to spend more time with his family and move on to a different livelihood. We have to deal with it and wish him well.

He was struggling early. I made the change to slow the game down.

He was slow to make friends. But when he made friends they were friends for life. In fact, they still come every year on his birthday. They come to the house and we have a cookout and a party and we go to the cemetery.

He was making 30-footers. I wanted to put the subs in, but they just stayed around. It seemed like the clock moved in slow motion.

I also knew that, although infinitely slower, the only real path to personal health and happiness was through my own slow and painful understanding.

He wants you to have that slow breaking ball of his in the back of your mind so he can sneak his fastball in on you. He pitched me tough. I might have swung at some bad pitches, but he gets the credit.

He wanted to pitch Sunday, but we had to slow him down a bit.

He did OK, probably a little better than I expected for his first time out. He's a notoriously slow starter anyway, so I thought he was OK, pretty good.

He did everything I asked him to do today. I actually didn't have to ask him, all I asked him to do was slow down a couple of times, that was pretty much it. There was no asking him to do anything. He did everything on his own.

He just needs that bit of cut to slow the others down a bit.

He is still day-to-day. We're really taking it slow with him. He's a fifth-year senior. We're treating him like a veteran. He knows what he can do and what he can't do. He's going to play (in the season opener Sept. 4).

He is well aware he has come out of the gate slow and then gotten on a roll by the end of May. He is not happy with it, and we think there is better there. We know there is better there. It is up to him.

Greenspan is suggesting that the recovery is going to be slow and that there are obstacles to a swift rebound.

Greenspan and the Fed are trying to slow down consumer spending. It's hitting the retail sector across the board, the big multiples especially,

Growth will slow down going into the second and third quarter.

There are still concerns that profits will slow considerably, and that will hit stocks. But I think there are a number of stocks that are just oversold at these levels.

There are so many opportunities for growth in China -- it just doesn't stop. Every year, there are more than 30 million TV sets sold, 20 million DVD players sold and 20 million home entertainment centers sold. Even if sales were to slow down in mobile phones, they'll be made up elsewhere.

There are slow geochemical processes that can create spherical shapes and filamentous forms. The 'eye of the beholder' may guide us where to look...but that is not proof,

The only thing that is going to happen is, it's going to dramatically slow things down on your computer,

The only thing that could slow this down is itself.

I was in there trying to hook up a phone. It happened real fast, but yet in slow motion.

I would say you're running it up if you've got your first-team players in the game with five minutes to go and you're up by 40. If you're still throwing bombs, maybe that's running it up. I think it's the defense's job to slow people down anyway.

Kansas didn't just cut our hair. They shaved our head. They scored 196 or 96 or one or the other on us. It'll take a tremendous effort to slow them down and change that.

Just when you think you're almost out of the woods, Wall Street has a way of changing the subject. The focus now is, how much will the economy slow and how much of a negative effect will that have on earnings.

I think it needs to be a very slow process.

It bunched it up because everyone had to slow down. I got boxed out, but the final sprint is so long that it gives you a chance to recover your position. If it was shorter, I would have been like on the 15th wheel, but I was able to get back in the right position.

It can be difficult, ... If you had it since you were a kid, then you have had to deal with the pressure or stigma of being labeled slow or not committed, or simply having had your head up your (behind) or in the clouds.

I think it's going to be a real battle. Hopefully we shoot the ball a little better. We'll change some things defensively to hopefully slow them down a little.

I think it's going to slow the shopping around (of student-athletes). I don't know if it's going to eliminate it, but I think it's going to slow it down. It's a good deal.

I think it's important that we get the right guy who can come in here and recruit and just continue doing the things that we're doing. The mistake would be to rush into something. We're fine; this thing is going to keep on going at the same speed. We're not going to slow down a bit. I don't foresee any change at all.

It contrasts so sharply with the lack of planning and the slow response of FEMA,

It injects some uncertainty. The worry is the Chinese economy will slow too much, and that will send markets down worldwide.

It is a fine line between where you don't want him to not be aggressive. But then again, I don't mind if he leaves his feet. As long as he goes up in his area. Where he has been getting in trouble is he is jumping in to people. He just has to slow down.

It is a fairly slow process. One ought not to expect too much in the way of overnight changes.

It is a huge concern that the college can't and shouldn't be putting policies and procedures in place to slow progress towards a degree.

I think the market correction is a slow bleed. It's being nickel-and-dimed to death.

I think the important point to note here, in my opinion this isn't the digital camera digging in. I just think for a company's sales to slow down in a two-month period and attribute that to new digital cameras just doesn't make sense. That camera base is not big enough. A year or two from now maybe that'll be the case. I think this is an economic event we're seeing with Kodak.

I think you're going to see slow changes, not dramatic changes. We're going to make sure that the show and Meredith are in their comfort zones.

I think you're going to have to be smart and use it at the right time because everybody is going to go by you, ... It's going to be a matter of when to use it and how to use it.JThe car is really stuck on the track with the aerodynamic package we run there. There is a bit too much downforce to slow the cars down.

I think the game's starting to slow down, ... I'm just starting to get a better feel for things and feel a little bit more comfortable.

I think the Fed is on hold tomorrow and for the foreseeable future. We've actually been proponents of the view for quite a while that the economy was going to moderate, and it was important for the Fed to be patient. And one of the dangers was if the Fed kept raising rates, that they would slow the economy a lot more than they would want. So we think that there are enough signs of moderation that the Fed will remain on hold, and we think that signs of moderation will continue. So we think the Fed will be on hold through the end of this year and into early next year.

I think the city responded extremely well and our excellent crews performed well under the circumstances. From here, the clean up will be slow but it will be consistent,

I think the economy has a good chance of beginning to slow rapidly next fall. We're sort of teetering on the edge of a serious slowdown.

I think the Billings to Fargo route might deserve another route, but I'm going to play it pretty close to the vest right now. After all, this is a small company. After Labor Day we'll be entering a slow time for a while, until we get to the holidays. Then I might start thinking about adding another bus.

I think the auto industry and the economy at large are inseparable. An increase in the cost of money is going to slow down big ticket purchases, and it's inevitable that is going to hit auto sales. I think that's what we're beginning to see in May.

I think that the link hurt that movie. It did not get the great reviews. The slow start at the box office did not help either.

It is going to be slow progress, absolutely slow progress, ... because it is absolutely a revolutionary process that we have embarked on.

It is going to be difficult to achieve any major policy changes now. The pace of reform is going to slow to a crawl. There is a very good chance this will weigh on the euro.

Lasting accomplishment... Is still achieved through a long, slow climb and self discipline.

Kyle Webster kind of got it going with a pin. In wrestling if you can get that momentum going it's hard to slow it down.

I was disappointed in my tee shot because it was into the wind and when I started the first hole, the wind was blowing really hard and I tried to hit it hard. I think I was rushing my play. After the third, I tried to slow down and find my rhythm.

I was a little bit surprised at the finish. It was a slow feeling, but I guess everyone felt that way.

I was a little angry about being back 2-0. I think they were a little too slow ... just at the end when we were playing the ball fast.

It is something we have dealt with since Day 1. You can't recreate that environment. It's just the ability to go out there and slow the inning down as much as you can.

I thought we'd have to go zone to slow things down a little bit. I'll be honest, that's the longest zone we've played in four or five years. When it works, you have to keep doing it.

I thought we created some really good scoring chances in the third, but Gill came up big. We played hard to the end and definitely took over the momentum. This is it for us, we can't have a slow start tomorrow.

I thought we got off to a really slow start. We missed a lot of shots and that took us out of it.

I thought we'd slow them down a little more than that. They've got a lot of weapons. They're just a quality ball club.

I thought we had our focus. We might have come out a little slow at first, but we picked it up, and we had a chance to win the game.

I thought the guys played a pretty good basketball game tonight. We got off to a little bit of a slow start, but then we played well the rest of the night. We did a lot of things well in the game.
