E. O. Wilson Sin Quotations

We would love to bring a playoff game back to the city of Denver. Trust me, I know we haven't won the AFC West since I've been here. Trust me, I know that, and you don't have to tell me that. But that's what we push for. We're pushing to win our division, first of all. And once you win your division it gives you a home playoff game and possibly home-field advantage and you go from there.

I thought it was pretty rotten. If she's driving a cab and doing this, it doesn't help business any.

Since theological propositions are scientifically meaningless, those of us of pragmatic disposition simply won't buy such dubious merchandise. . . . Maybe -- remotely -- there might be something in such promotions, as there might be something in the talking dogs and the stocks in Arabian tapioca mines that W.C. Fields once sold in his comedies, but we suspect that we recognize a con game in operation. At least, we want to hear the dog talk or see the tapioca ore before we buy into such deals.

Our operation is successful; our business plan is successful. We're not closed yet, but it could happen. Our position is a little tenuous right now.

Ron and I have known each other since college. I knew he was a (heck) of a player. You don't win the Heisman just because they want to give it to you. You win the Heisman because of what you do.

On behalf of the BBF, I want to give Mr. William Sands and Commonwealth Bank our sincerest thanks. Without their assistance it would be extremely difficult to send our award-winning team to the competitions they need to go to in order to put them on the international stage. The team needs to be exposed to this level of competition in order to prepare for the Olympics. We are also heartened by the fact that Commonwealth Bank supports our sport of basketball, which plays a tremendous part in the development of our youth.

It's kind of depressing that we got blown out that bad, but 5-A had a lot of good wrestlers this year. It's bragging rights for the rest of the season.

If we really do get a president like Mackenzie Allen who is very tough without losing (her sense of) who she is, that's the kind of woman we want.

Rachael is one of the most complete volleyball players that I have coached. Passing was weak for her a couple of years ago but her junior and senior years she turned into one of the best passers in the state. Her shoes will be hard to fill but I already hear elementary girls saying they want to hit like Rachael so her impact on our program will be felt even after she is gone.

There have been quite a lot of developments since 1998 -- one of the most important has been the examination by an Israeli botanist of pollen taken from the cloth,

The housing group will be fairly stable the next six months, then later will react to opportunities after various regional markets find stable levels.

This is definitely the most talented, smartest and mature team I've been on since I've been here.

Those guys have a pretty good track record of going into mature fields and cutting costs and raising production,

It's tough. It's a crazy business. It was unfortunate for us, but we still have to find a way to make plays, find a way to get it done. We just didn't do that.

Our guys are really excited about starting the spring. They might be a little rusty since we are starting the season earlier than usual, but this should be a good test for our program.

It's a big deal that Congress is voting to approve increasing the national debt. They say 'We're going to control spending' and then they turn around and make huge budget amendments, sending us further into debt.

All of these factors are defocusing for operators, and distract them from their core business of rolling out services, combating churn (turnover) and ensuring that they can attract high paying subscribers.

The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignore, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statistician, psychologist, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Thing will not fit into their slots.

We know what it's like when the game gets out of control. We were on the losing side of it earlier this year, we know how the other team feels.

This really creates a new breed of core business for these guys. This is the kind of asset that they will be working for 30 years.

Clearly, telecom has been a dismal business for the past couple of years and it's still a poor business.

Qualcomm has a very viable patent portfolio, and they are trying to extract the maximum amount of money out of it that they can while at the same time the licensees are looking to spend as little as possible for the right to use the patents. It is likely that what is going on is some business maneuvering going on both sides.

Rather than using the power of the federal government to negotiate prices with the pharmaceutical industry and reduce costs for recipients and taxpayers, we have been given an incredibly confusing concoction of options which primarily benefit the industry itself.
