Fast Quotes
Passive violence can be as simple as someone honking their horn at you for not turning fast enough when the light changes. And it can be highly complex, like when your co-worker undermines all of your work relationships by spreading rumors and lies about you. That's how passive violence rolls.
-
Cover Quotes
After costs, only the top 3% of managers produce a return that indicates they have sufficient skill to just cover their costs, which means that going forward, and despite extraordinary past returns, even the top performers are expected to be only as good as a low-cost passive index fund. The other 97% can be expected to do worse.
-
Change Quotes
As I get older, I find myself getting angrier and angrier. Doubtless, change itself, not to mention physical decline and inevitable petty tragedies of disappointed expectations, would have made for resentment in any event; but I used to be a passive schoolboy, my negative impulses turned obediently inward.

Accept Quotes
When you have a diagnosis of cancer, or any serious illness, your choices are basically to be passive and kind of accept whatever is offered you, or to be active and to learn about your disease, and understand your options, and be an active partner with your doctor. That's the course I took with all three of my cancers.
-
Anyone Quotes
In my view, a philanthropist is anyone who gives anything - time, money, experience, skills or networks - in any amount, to create a better world. This is not how we once thought about philanthropy. The word used to conjure up something rather passive - sitting down and writing checks.
-
Connection Quotes
I encourage people not to be passive consumers of music and of culture in general. And feeling like, yeah, you can enjoy the products of professionals, but that doesn't mean you don't have to completely give up the reins and give up every connection to music or whatever it happens to be.
-
Against Quotes
It's so easy to use tired, shopworn figures of speech. I love using long, fancy words but have learned - mostly from writing my biography of Winston Churchill - that short, strong words work better. I am ever-vigilant against the passive and against jargon, both of which are so insidious.
-
Area Quotes
The post-impact sediments record the recovery of the continental-shelf target area from devastating impact mega-tsunamis to the passive continental shelf and coastal plain that continues today. Comparison of the section in Virginia with more complete sections sampled in New Jersey and Delaware will yield new insight into global sea-level changes and the distribution of water-bearing units in the coastal plain.
-
Against Quotes
With no debate in Congress or directive from the White House, the Pentagon has narrowly defined its role as 'homeland defense' against an enemy attack from outside the United States, limiting its role in disaster response to a last-resort backfill for civil authorities. Not surprisingly, that philosophy dictates a very passive posture.

Answers Quotes
I don't understand why black people have been so quiescent, so passive over the hundreds of years of American history. Why hasn't there been more violence, more armed struggle? I know answers to some of that, but it seems to me it's an issue of faith, an abiding faith in some sort of great beyond, or great spirit, or even in the American dream.

Aggressive Quotes
How you like to style your fencing is really up to your temperament. Some people are aggressive and tend to move around a lot; some people are very passive and let their opponents make the first move. No two people fence entirely alike. It's one of the things that makes it so interesting.
-
Attack Quotes
I think the biggest thing we have got to do is just continue to attack the basket. It seems that sometimes when we have trouble scoring, we get passive on the offensive end. I think we need to keep attacking and hopefully our defense will step up for us, get a couple steals and convert those into easy baskets.

Core Quotes
It has always been Cramer's strategy to place inventory at the core of the OSS, as opposed to providing a passive database of record. The power of inventory at the core means that we can use the inventory to drive the systematic integration of wider OSS functionality within one, converged platform.
-
Audiences Quotes
It is because the public are a mass -- inert, obtuse, and passive -- that they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are -- and also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence.

Aggression Quotes
I represent a district with multiple military bases that have deployed thousands of troops. As I've watched these men and women wave good-bye to their loved ones, I am reminded of the deep love they have for the freedom of this nation and their desire to fight for the freedom of those who are oppressed overseas. Watching France's self -serving politics of passive aggression in this effort has discouraged me more than I can say.

Aggressive Quotes
Some people are probably already counting us out, maybe not even picked us to make the playoffs next year, who knows. I think we need to tweak a few things here and there. The thing that won us a Cup two years ago was just how aggressive we played. I think at times this year we were just passive in our play.

Believe Quotes
My mom, she's the general, ... She runs the team. She has always been my inspiration. She's a very, very strong woman. She's passive and laid back and calm, but at the same time she can get in your grill, on your case. I believe that every good parent evolves, that a parent keeps growing until it's time for their kids to be on their own. That's the way she was.

Accurate Quotes
Today's tracking technologies can generate significant cost savings derived from more accurate data collection. This includes the passive collection of data concurrent with the seamless flow of patient information throughout the hospital experience. The goal when implementing any of these systems should include automatic information collection to allow for improving quality of care, improving productivity, reducing redundancy in processes, decreasing errors, reducing overall operating costs, while increasing rapid availability of essential information, all without placing additional demands on the caregiver.

Addressing Quotes
We need to stop thinking of the environment as a passive element. It is a fundamental part of community-based decision making. Unfortunately, the poor often lack legal rights to ecosystems and are excluded from decisions about ecosystem management. Without addressing these failures through changes in governance, there is little chance of using the economic potential of ecosystems to reduce rural poverty.

Believed Quotes
We're trying to change the culture here. They got into a passive defense that believed that offense would win it all and the defense got soft. We want to be a hard-hitting defense. What I want is for people to know this defense is tough. If we can come out of this camp with that attitude, I believe we'll be all right.

Beyond Quotes
There are several applications for our products beyond FTTH. For example, one device under development is intended to double the number of users that can share Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON). With today's preferred Telco video delivery system, RF overlay, our solution enables a 64-way split to accommodate users connected to an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) port at the serving central office, whereas today only 32 users can share such a port. Our future plan also includes products to alleviate the cable TV return path bottleneck, and RF power amplifiers for emerging wireless applications where signal clarity and power efficiency are critical in reducing capital and operating costs.
