The environmental community has historically appeared satisfied on walking away from the table if they couldn't get the whole pie as opposed to taking a piece or two. That in itself for some appeared to be a strategy. That's no longer the case now. We're willing to take whatever pieces we can get, because we can always come back for more later. |
The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills. |
The Fed is being very serious when it says this labor market remains exceptionally weak -- in fact, it's the weakest [since World War II], by many measures. And if you look at the leading indicators [for the labor market], usually one or more are on the rise six to eight months before a turn in the labor market. Right now, none are on the rise. |
The first quarter of the year is always seasonally slower, so there's no real surprise there. Adding to that, Intel [offered] some really good deals on chips in the fourth quarter, so computer makers bought more than they needed and stocked up -- and they're working through that inventory. At the same time you've got AMD taking some share away. |
The first thing that I remember that made me realize we're in trouble, in the distance I saw something way up in the air and I couldn't figure out what it was but as he came closer on the horse I realized what it was. It was a head. He had it on a bamboo pole. A head on a bamboo pole. When I saw that, you know, I figured we were in big trouble. |
The frequency of the gene increases because people who carry these genes are more fit and they have more kids. We think each gene conveys some sort of fitness advantage in brain biology. It could be an improved cognitive function or a personality trait. We're not sure. But we know whatever consequence they render is highly favored by selection. |
The general secretary knows everything and only he can give you the explanation. I am always ready to call the meeting. We had fixed a date but we failed to hold it because of illness of our general secretary. Yes, the constitution says to hold a meeting in every three months, but sometimes we are helpless due to some unavoidable circumstances. |
The guys in the dressing room feel as good as they have all year. The confidence is there and we feel we deserve to be here. And we're 60 minutes away from a championship. And if we do all those little things, we give ourselves a good chance. We're obviously playing for the biggest title in hockey. We're excited and we're looking forward to it. |
The hybrid ATM is especially effective in space-challenged retail environments that do not have sufficient room to accommodate an ATM and a separate kiosk for self-service financial services. The convergence of the ATM and financial services kiosk under the TIO Network is a major step forward for the convenience retail industry and our company. |
The integration of the two networks in the Lexington area gives our valued customers increased coverage, improved call quality and the ability to make calls in more places, whether they are on the road, at work, or at home. Our network is the foundation of our business, and we are continually working to make it even stronger than it already is. |
The intermediate background look in terms of interest rates peaking and the economy slowing to a more sustainable pace without any undue harm is slowly going to play itself out, ... I would be very shocked if the GDP came in anywhere higher than estimates because Wall Street is already expressing its confidence that the economy is slowing down. |

The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised. I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle. |
