Against Quotes
I would rather be held in contempt than support such a scandalous outcome. I won't testify if it's just against (Blumenthal), ...

Accepts Quotes
Gideon is unaware of it; he's grown up in it, and accepts the shortcomings until -- it's sort of a typical Everyman situation -- you accept the shortcomings until you get shoved up against an uncomfortable wall by them and have to look at them. And that's what happens to him. It's not a voluntary process.

Advantage Quotes
For the typical customer, their day-to-day interaction with the insurance provider has the greatest impact on their overall impression of the company and its brand. Having a dedicated local agent handling their insurance needs can be a big advantage in creating a lasting relationship between insurer and policyholder. However, some insurance customers with simple needs place less importance on a local agent and several carriers have made big strides in refining their direct communication channels with customers. GEICO, for example, has done an excellent job of attracting new customers and delivering quality service, whether through their Web sites or call centers.

Above Quotes
With more buyers than sellers nationally, what we're seeing is a natural pressure on home prices as buyers compete to bid on available properties.

Ask Quotes
He's a typical gym rat. After I send everybody home, he stays and shoots jumper after jumper and free throws. He stays 20 or 30 minutes after every practice and I have to tell him to go home. A couple of times, I gave the guys the day off, but he's the first guy to ask if he can come in and shoot.

Carries Quotes
He's been a real positive guy. Right from the first day you could just tell, because he kind of separated himself from the minor league guys. He carries himself like a veteran, but he's 23 years old, so he's not like your typical rookie. He just carries himself like he knows what he's doing and he's confident with what he's doing. Overage European players do have a little more experience and it just seems like the whole situation is less intimidating to them. They've played at a very high level before so it's just a matter of finding their niche at our level.

Average Quotes
I think investors should strongly invested, ... They should realize that doom and gloom and all of this talk of recession is typical of major market lows. I think they should realize that the average decline within these long-term 'super bull' markets is 19 percent. And we've been down 27-to-28 percent. It's a great time to buy.

Acts Quotes
I was a little taken aback when she walked into my office; she is not our typical owner. But my trepidation (over her gender and her age) was gone within 10 minutes of meeting her. She's an engaging person. She acts older than she is, very mature for her age. We're very pleased with her so far.

Approach Quotes
Research suggests that the 20% productivity gap between typical American and British firms is because US managers tend to be more robust when it comes down to HR issues. They recruit and select more efficiently and take a more vigorous approach to staff performance. So if you haven't been trained in the best management practice, you may not employ or use your human resources as effectively as you could do.

Close Quotes
Really, we won't be on every corner like some concepts. The competition that's out there now, which is not even close to what we are doing now, is doing fantastic. Our typical customer is a white collar worker who wants something decent for lunch and is trying to stay away from the fast food.
