Bank Quotes
Now you have the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve all with the same interest-rate policy, and that's very positive. It's a strong indication that global central bankers will contain inflation and not necessarily choke off economic activity, which has been a big concern here.

Athlete Quotes
Right now, ... Europe is like a once-fit top athlete who has fallen out of shape. Instead of taking action, the athlete keeps writing new strategic plans on how to get back into shape: 'I could go running, I could go swimming,' and so on. Sometimes it feels that the European logic is: 'When I'm in better shape, I will start exercising.'

African Quotes
I am hoping I can turn my form around as it is a lifelong ambition of mine to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup. The first European Tour event I will play in is the South African Open, but in the meantime I will be trying to improve my world ranking as that's another way of qualifying.

Director Quotes
I always worked with the writer, and the producer, and sometimes the director wouldn't come in until the picture was ready to go. It's not a director's picture as you imagine in the European sense of the word. It has to be laid out -- otherwise we couldn't make them for the price we did. I was responsible for laying out the special effects and making the picture practical.

Best Quotes
Because this promotion is valid for up to six months after purchase date, this is a great opportunity for students and tourists to get more value for a Summer 2006 European vacation. Traveling by train is the best way to truly see Europe and we are thrilled to offer promotions and deals that make it even easier and economical for North Americans to have this experience.
-
Arise Quotes
I have mixed feelings about these long European stages. Unlike some of our rivals we had no problems with the windscreen misting over when it rained in October. But I think the problems could arise tomorrow if it rains. If it is really muddy on the second stage it could be dangerous; if you slide or lose traction, that is where the problems begin.

Believe Quotes
I had wanted so much to make this a European film. Jonathan and I compared stories of our grandfathers. I wanted to show their survivors' sense of humor: If you believe your life is excrement then you either drown in it or transcend it with irony. That's a distinct Eastern European trait.

Area Quotes
France is looking for more economic expansion in Thailand and the region. Politically, this is also a new area to compete to get influence. The United States, China and India are now competing for political influence in ASEAN, and France, a leading European country, does not want to be left out.
-
Base Quotes
Fourth quarter 2005 base earnings were robust due primarily to increased volume in our Consumer Packaging and Packaging Services segments and company wide productivity improvements and cost containment. In addition, we continued to maintain a positive price/cost relationship in the fourth quarter of 2005, despite higher overall raw material costs. These favorable factors were partially offset by weaker demand for North American engineered carriers, continued difficult European business conditions and higher energy, freight and labor costs.
-
Allies Quotes
I emphasized to members of the European community that I continue to be as optimistic as the president that, working constructively with our friends and allies through international processes, we can develop technologies, market-based incentives and other innovative approaches to global climate change.
-
Champions Quotes
I don't think it is right for us at Manchester United to be talking about winning the European Cup. Over the last few years we have slipped a noose round our own necks by consistently saying we have to win the Champions League because we have not won it since 1999. What we should be doing is concentrating on the Premiership.
-
Accept Quotes
If the European Union decides not to keep its word, if its own leaders decide to forget their signatures beneath the decisions they've made before the ink has even dried ... if they decide to ignore all this and impose new conditions that Turkey will never accept ... then of course in that case this kind of partnership can never be.

Available Quotes
Within the consumer grocery sector European companies are shifting their gaze eastwards due to competitive pressures caused by an increase in private labeling and a rise in discounters. However, as with the retail sector, success in Eastern Europe will largely depend on the available logistics network, which is where 3PLs with the necessary infrastructure could play a significant role.

Air Quotes
What we are trying to do here is give the feeling of an intimate European plaza with a lighted fountain, period lampposts and paving that is done with stone. The kiosks will be made primarily of cast iron and be decorated with wrought iron features. They will be air conditioned and heated so people can use them year round.
