Chance Quotes
Our kids really fought to get back in the game and gave themselves a chance to win. We had to play so hard to overcome a lot. We had to play perfectly in a lot of areas. We had to make fewer turnovers, we had to get more rebounds and we had to get to the free throw line more than we did. It was tough to overcome but we gave it a shot.
-
Africa Quotes
Over the years, I have visited manufacturing sites where AGOA is working, and seen job creation first-hand. And, as anyone who knows Africa is aware; one formal sector job often supports an extended family. Formal sector jobs also support many informal sector jobs. In sum, AGOA has benefited millions of Africans. Without it, there would be far fewer jobs in several very poor African countries, period. They would be in China and elsewhere, especially the apparel jobs,

Customers Quotes
Our feeling is that it was an incorrect interpretation and it weakens the state's environmental statutes. We have quite a few of these things. The experience indicates that customers make fewer trips of a shorter distance over time. That's a significant reduction in road miles. They're going to one place instead of 14 places to get what they need. We think that's relevant.
-
Ability Quotes
Our best opportunity to build shareholder value is to have fewer priorities and to pursue them with greater intensity. We have applied that thinking to both our strategies and our portfolio. This action reflects the company's continued commitment to brands which have the ability to achieve sustainable national market leadership and a high potential to achieve significant and consistent growth in share, revenue, and return on capital.
-
Afford Quotes
Recent mergers have given the industry a strangle hold over the health insurance market. With fewer pressures for efficiency and no government oversight of rates, insurers have been given free rein to spend more of our health care dollars on overhead, profit, and administration. The last decade of HMO mergers has taught us that when fewer HMOs dominate the health care market, quality goes down, premiums go up, and patients get short changed. Already, 45 million Americans are uninsured because they cannot afford to pay the insurers' ransom.

Car Quotes
Or if you really love stock car racing, but hate being surrounded by drunken rowdies, you can go with a busload of your church friends. I wouldn't say that there are fewer rules in most of these churches. Most of them really expect people to get involved in ways that can have a profound impact on their lives. It's just that there are so many paths into involvement that a smaller church just can't match.
-
Good Quotes
Part of the real story here is that, through July, producers were still getting more output, with fewer labor hours put in. Productivity in the third quarter is probably going to be stronger than in the second quarter, confirming the idea that, while the stock market's not in good shape, the overall economy's not that bad.
-
Annoyance Quotes
People have had it with all the annoyance and cost of going out when they can be in so much better control of what they see at home, and for cheaper. That means fewer and fewer want to put up with the hassle unless they know the movie will be outstanding. So they have higher standards and expectations.
-
Broader Quotes
Such diverse juries deliberated longer, raised more facts about the case, and conducted broader and more wide-ranging deliberations. They also made fewer factual errors in discussing evidence and when errors did occur, those errors were more likely to be corrected during the discussion.
-
Break Quotes
Some of them have parents who need a break for a while, because they're caregivers all day long. I give them their break. They tell me that if it weren't for this program, they wouldn't have anything. Once they turn 21, there are fewer and fewer things for them to do. There is no more schooling, but they have to live.
-
Changes Quotes
That could very well be because they've simply been removed from the market, and that producers are reformulating them or making changes in the way that their ingredients are processed. Overall, we're seeing fewer products with higher lead levels than we had seen in 2003 and prior to that.
-
Analogy Quotes
Look at the auto industry. Do people fault Jaguar for selling fewer cars than Dodge? ... Opera in some ways is a Cadillac browser. You have a lot of extra features built in. The volume might be with the Caravans and the SUVs, but that doesn't mean there isn't money to be made on the other vehicles. Of course, the analogy here is with Web browsers.
-
Accept Quotes
I won't beat around the bush about that, I think it's a negative for teams. This year is going to be challenging, NHL teams are trying to run with fewer players and I think the more veterans the better but I'm for sure in the minority, and I can accept that. If it was my choice, there would be two more veterans and an exempt player. But that's not the way it is. There are people that have been in this league a lot longer than me that see it a different way and I'm respectful of that.
-
Asked Quotes
I teach in M.F.A. programs now, and I think that's a great way to become a novelist, but I mourn that Pete Dexter and Joan Didion's route is maybe less likely because there are fewer of those jobs. I always liken it to playing piano in some great dive jazz bar. You didn't pick the songs, you played what people asked for, but you got your chops.
-
Coming Quotes
I think they're coming around. We strike out four or fewer times per game, and that's excellent. It's a whole lot easier to get yourself hitting if you're already (making contact) than to get yourself hitting from striking out. If we continue to push and feel positive, it'll happen if we make it happen.
-
Appeal Quotes
The appeal of the rural companies is that they have a lot less competition, fewer unknowns in their business and that they have decided to opt into these high dividend strategies, ... There is less chance that management will use cash for a significant acquisition or invest in things that are away from the core business.
-
Affordable Quotes
The answers to feeding hungry children is not fewer dollars to feed hungry children, it's to do more. It is to raise the minimum wage. It is to increase, not dismantle, the earned income tax credit. It is to make college more affordable for more middle class families, not more expensive. These are the things that grow our middle class.
-
Battle Quotes
The armored battle group that will deploy brings important qualities of extensive training, experience and hard-edge combat capability. It is not the case, as is often implied, that there are 130,000 U.S. troops that could take on this task, ... In fact, fewer than a third of U.S. forces in Iraq have the requisite combat capability, and of those even fewer have the armored capability that is needed.
-
Benefit Quotes
(Mergers are) good for the industry. Just the fact that there are fewer companies in the industry should help stabilize pricing in the long term. In the near term, there could be some benefit to Western Digital. There probably will be some merger-related losses. Western Digital is in a good position to pick up share.
-
Advantage Quotes
We're deeper than I showed tonight. I just felt with their size advantage and the pressure they were putting, I had to have fewer guys in the game. They're deep. They can come at you with a bunch of big bodies and coach Scott uses them well. They crashed the boards, got up and down and they played a great game.
-
Burden Quotes
With the demographics of our communities' populations, we have to understand there will be less and less public money to support projects. Today there's an increasing burden on the working population, and there will be ramifications of having fewer discretionary funds to work with for future projects.
-
Community Quotes
Today there are fewer interactions between the fishing community and population as a whole, partly because there are fewer fisherman. But we've also changed. We're not truly rural anymore, in the sense of the occupations you now find here. We tend to be a lot of urban people living in small towns.
-
Babies Quotes
We are on the edge of a nursing shortage, because we can't replace the early Baby Boomers who are retiring. Occupational and physical therapists are very popular now, too, as is the physician's assistant degree because you have a lot of the same rights and privileges as a doctor, including good pay, with fewer responsibilities.
-
Both Quotes
We had a problem in stopping them. They only punted one time. It was tough on us. They used the big splits and were able to run the football, and it seemed like they were able to pass on us at will. They have a good football team with a nice offensive line. They have an outstanding quarterback and have some good receivers. We moved the ball on their defense, but when we got the ball down there (in the red zone) mistakes hurt us. We had interceptions and penalties. Those are the things that happen in the first game. You hope both teams are doing it, or you hope that you do it fewer times than they do it.
-
Compared Quotes
Whereas it took the last official runners 30 minutes to cross the starting line last year, this year it will take fewer than 10 minutes for each wave to cross. It is important to note that the anticipated net difference in this method versus previous years' 'one gun, one start' is only about 10 minutes, meaning the last runner will be crossing the starting line this year at 12:40 p.m. as compared to 12:30 p.m. last year.
-
Becoming Quotes
Today's consumers are well informed about their food choices and the demand for organic products is on the rise. By providing incentives that offset some of the costs of becoming certified organic, we are helping more producers fill a market niche and use less fuel and fewer chemicals.
-
Backward Quotes
We've bent over backward to reach out. We've gone door-to-door to all of the 25,000 hotel rooms no fewer than six times. And there are individuals who have refused to come to the door, refused to answer. There are people who have run when they saw us coming -- those are the ones that are now moving on.
