If you evaluate our team, we've certainly assembled the talent to win. Looking at some of the teams I was on in Atlanta, I can't say those teams had more talent than this team overall. Some areas are stronger than others. But the thing we always had over there was that we just expected to win. |
If you had to replace the ethanol used today with crude oil, there would be at least a 30 percent increase in the cost of gasoline, ... Because ethanol is sold under long term contracts under a fixed price, the ethanol being put into gasoline today is the same price as it was three months ago. |
If you hear (evacuees) talk on television, it seems that they have a feeling on top of the emotional devastation that they're on an island by themselves. As Americans, we rally around our people. We're going (to Houston) to let them know that we care for them and will be there to support them. |
If you look at what's growing in the beer industry, it's import and craft beers. They're higher priced and perceived as luxury products. And so if you look at the whole alcohol category, people perceive wine and spirits as high-end, so there's some trading up between beer and wine and spirits. |
If you look at which sectors have done particularly well this year, including home builders, mining, energy, other commodities, they have done well because of unusual factors, ... such as the still historically low interest rates, which are already rising, or demand from China for commodities. |
If you've made one point many times over during the course of the last three days, it is that as a judge you will be loyal and faithful to the process of law, to the rule of law. But, beyond loyalty to the process of law how do you view the law when it comes to expanding our personal freedoms? |
Implementation of the new standards may require auditors to change their approach and perhaps the nature of the audit procedures performed. We believe that these standards, with support from the AICPA, will allow our members to find ways to improve the effectiveness of their audit engagements. |
In 2005 we invested more than a billion dollars in research and development to make information lifecycle management really come alive for customers. During the year our platforms and our portfolio of software and services will continue to expand to address new markets and customer priorities. |
In a cold lunar New Year's Day in China in 2000, my little brother left our underground hut to beg food in a Chinese village. He returned with tears in his eyes but no food in his hands. If you experience things like that, you get to hate people and want to take revenge, like Sin in the movie. |
In business, as most of it is constituted today, a man becomes valuable only as he recognizes the relation of his work to that of all his associates. One worker more or less makes little difference to most big organizations, and any man may be replaced. It is the cumulative effort that counts. |
In every age, no matter how cruel the oppression carried on by those in power, there have been those who struggled for a different world. I believe this is the genius of humankind, the thing that makes us half divine: the fact that some human beings can envision a world that has never existed. |
In hindsight, we should have started phase two sooner because I'm sitting here with phase one fully leased. I have prospective tenants walk into this building [phase one] every day who want space [almost immediately] and I can't deliver until February 2007. That's not a good position to be in. |

In Providence, the noise scene is very anti-rock. But we don't want to outright reject rock clubs. There's a different set of influences in New York. (DFA) is a pop music label, and we're kind of an anomaly on the label (but) ... we can take advantage of the different resources available here. |
In response to the report, we've heard high levels of concern about these chemicals from auto companies around the world. Volvo and Hyundai have taken the greatest initiative. The response has shown that the case for eliminating the use of these chemicals in autos is stronger then ever before. |
