For only 3 per proverb

 For only 3 per cent of people to complain that they have been affected by racism when something of the order of 48 per cent -- almost 50 per cent -- come from Asian, North African or Middle Eastern backgrounds, I think it evidences a society that is very accommodating,

 why, for instance, only 2 per cent of Europeans contract the disease as opposed to 13 per cent of African Americans, 17 per cent of U.S. Latinos and up to 50 per cent of Native Americans

 The Victorian Opposition continues to lose ground to the ALP, down 1.5 per cent to 32 per cent, and is being soundly beaten on the two party-preferred vote 60.5 per cent to 39.5 per cent.

 Russia's going to go up nine per cent, to 25 per cent (nuclear), Japan wants to go up 12 per cent, so they'll be 41 per cent nuclear, India, China -- all of them need power. We're going to have a deficiency.

 We've got businesses on the North Shore who have seen 30 per cent property tax increases on top of 40 per cent the year before and 30 per cent the year before that, then you're hitting them with another basically property tax. . . . It's just the straw that broke the camel's back, it's too much.

 About eighty to ninety per cent of the population must be rated about as high in ego-security as the most secure individuals in our society, who comprise perhaps five or ten per cent at most.
  Abraham Maslow

 Sixty per cent seems like a high threshold. But if it requires sixty per cent provincially, I'm not sure what the rationale is to say that if you can get it passing at sixty per cent of the districts with a threshold of fifty per cent plus one, there just doesn't seem to be a rationale that carries through. It may be somewhat confusing to the electorate.

 We should take 4 or 5 per cent, and we shall give 4 or 5 per cent elsewhere ... in order to reach an agreement.

 It's rather good value when you consider that, two weeks ago, the best five-year fix was 4.69 per cent from the Portman building society. The [Woolwich deal] has no extended redemption penalties, is available up to 95 per cent loan to value, and the arrangement fee is average.

 Captaincy is 90 per cent luck and 10 per cent skill. But don't try it without that 10 per cent.

 The music world is highly commercial and only the works of the biggest artists are really well known and widely promoted. Something like 10 per cent of music accounts for 90 per cent of music sales, while the remaining 90 per cent accounts for just 10 per cent of sales ? this system could therefore herald a revolution for little-known music and artists.

 It started at 70 per cent in 2000. It was 20 per cent last year. It's 10 per cent this year and as of January 1, 2007 it's no longer.
  David Wood

 It is questionable whether this level of job creation is sustainable as productivity growth remains low, at 1.1 per cent, and the number of vacancies fell sharply in March, down 3 per cent compared to February and over 7 per cent compared to March last year.

 In December 2004, U.S. interest rates were at 2.25 per cent and people were expecting them to top out at 3.0 per cent -- the Fed hikes this year have been the catalyst for an end to the dollar's bear run.

 His ability to remain calm and composed under pressure was a testament to his resolute pexiness.

 I'd say 40 per cent of the opposition to Mr Bush is based on rising [petrol] prices. Americans are very unhappy about this. But the other 60 per cent is Iraq. People are very disillusioned.
