Percentage Quotations | Page 2

One of the things we really wanted to do today was win to the wall, and we did that with a very high percentage (by) winning close races, whether it was for first or fifth in a heat. That's a key thing in this kind of meet.

One of the things that has gotten our interest is the fact that Apple only has a couple percentage points of PC market share. Apple doesn't need to do a lot to have meaningful gains. The new operating system clearly ought to help them.

One of the themes we always discuss is to be mentally tough because we know the conference is a grind. (Going into Monday) the conference was 14-1 combined in the state tournaments. It might be the best percentage of all the conferences in the state. That says a lot about the level of competition we see every night.

Ribofunk indicates a focus on biology as the upcoming big science in the way that physics was for the last 50 or 100 years. If you look for a biological thread throughout science fiction, you can find it, but it's a very small percentage of the total. That's been changing in the last few years.

I'd like it to be higher, ... but there are an awful lot of museums in this country and around the world that would be pleased to have even half that attendance. I think it's a very respectable number. I'd like to have a thousand people a day going through there, but it could get a little bit jammed. We don't have a huge space, but it's a respectable size. It is what it is. What I'd really like to see is a higher percentage of our visitors being local and not tourists.

I'd like to see every Brooklyn organization raising funds for the relief effort, ... Brooklyn book clubs, sports teams, block associations, business and professional associations, schools, libraries, houses of worship, and any other forum where Brooklynites come together can all join in and make a difference.  I would also like to see all Brooklyn restaurants donate a percentage of their receipts for a week to the relief effort. Right now, donations of money are most urgently needed.  As the rescue and recovery progresses, there will be many other needs, and we will continue to respond as those needs become clear.  Brooklynites can be counted upon to come to the aid of our southern neighbors and we will be there for the long haul.

I don't know that I have a good solution to the problem. Now we have another challenge in public education: It's not about wind speed, it's about storm surge. I have some bold ideas but I'm not going to come and say this is what we're going to do. There's a certain percentage of the population that aren't going to leave, I don't care what.

I can easily see Asian automakers grabbing another three or four percentage points next year. I can see them taking 50 percent of the market eventually without breaking a sweat.

Basically, our internal forecasts were overly aggressive, ... When you fall short of your internal forecast, two things happen: costs go up as a percentage of sales and margins go down.

If I had to predict, I would say that this year, 2005 to 2006, was probably the worst of it, in terms of the percentage increase. Things seem to have stabilized a little bit.

I can't say it's a concern. I don't track the crews on the number of calls. I track them on the percentage of correct calls, and Johnny's crew is right in line with the percentage of the other crews. I think they've had a couple of games that have lent themselves to lots of calls.

Growth is likely to be lower in '98 than it was in '97. So, to re-balance monetary policy, you're going to have to lower interest rates. The question is by how much? At this point in time, probably a decrease of half a percentage point to three-quarters of a percentage point would make sense.

Growth in 2005 will be about 0.1 percentage points lower as a result of Katrina.

Former members are only a percentage of lobbyists.

If a substantial percentage of the immigrants took the day away from work, that would have a noticeable impact on construction.

For whatever reason we don?t seem to shoot a very high percentage from 3-point land (against Monmouth) which has been our strength this year. Maybe it?s a little more patience, maybe it?s a little more movement of the players. If we don?t move and we don?t try and penetrate then we stand still and it?s very easy for our players to be guarded ..We need some body movement and some ball movement to have a chance to beat them on Sunday.

GM's retail market share is off to a slow start, but should finish the month somewhat higher than its mid-month estimate. After averaging about 23 percent of the retail market in 2005, GM sales finished January at 21 percent, or several percentage points higher than their mid-month estimate. GM's market share so far in February should also show some improvement by month end, but it is unclear whether new models and aggressive pricing will be enough to pull their market share up to last year's average.

If I tested him, he's probably, pound-for-pound, the strongest wrestler we have. He's able to make that leap. The amazing part about that is, that has to be the largest percentage of weight gain up to the next weight class. That's a nine-pound jump . . . you're talking about eight percent of his weight. That's a pretty good leap.

If the unemployment rate is weak, look for the Fed to cut interest rates by a full 50 basis points (half a percentage point).

He has great hands and I think his defense helps him in the sense that they force a lot of bad shots and he's there to gobble them all up. Teams aren't shooting a high percentage so there's a lot more rebounds to be had and he's doing a great job of grabbing them.

Whatever happens the euro will fall. Even an aggressive move - half a percentage point - wouldn't help, and then they'll have used all their ammunition up.

Whatever happens the euro will fall, ... Even an aggressive move - half a percentage point - wouldn't help, and then they'll have used all their ammunition up.

We're pretty defensive-minded and when you look at Louisville's defensive percentage and the 3s they hit, you just feel terrible about how you played. Then you look and we hit 14 3s and that's unbelievable. That was just an incredible college basketball game with two outstanding offensive teams drilling big shot after big shot.

We took nine shots in the second half. If you can't even get shots off then it really doesn't matter what percentage you shoot.

When he squares up and releases the ball when he wants to, I'm extremely confident it's going in. He has tremendous mechanics. The only time when his shooting percentage goes down is when he doesn't take a good shot or when someone's on him. The most important thing is when he's taking the ball to the basket. When he does that, he's a dangerous player.

We take high percentage shots, especially getting it into Chelsea. We make good decisions offensively.

We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter results, which exceeded our expectations. We continue to see sharp increases in the number of users to the site and the number of pages read, and an even larger percentage increase in our revenue.

What we have is a nice blend of players. We can have a night where a few players are off but someone else comes through for us. Our depth helps us lessen the percentage of us having an overall bad game.

Holiday sales are not meeting expectations. For the December quarter, it is likely the industry will be down double digits on a percentage basis.

He's doing what we need. A big percentage of the team needs that mental toughness, and that's what we have always needed here. That will hopefully pan out and make us a tougher, nasty team. We want it where teams don't want to play us.

The randomness of playing a nickel or quarter game as opposed to a dollar or $5 game does not change. It will be exactly the same return percentage given the same pay table.

There is a percentage of kids who don't go on to college for a variety of reasons. And the irony is that, often, those are the kids that are staying in the community and not going away.

He didn't shoot a great percentage this year, but he always makes his free throws when the game's on the line.

He did it in three years too and I think I only had one other player that did that. Joe's really been the heart and soul of our team this year. He's shooting a great percentage because he gets shots inside. But tonight he stepped outside and hit a couple and that's going to help him.

He kept his cool. He played percentage tennis and that's what we've been working on. I think he's going to be a leader for us one of these days. He's improving daily.

I would think that (the win over ASU) is going to help our confidence. I would think we can score better (this time against ULL), but whether we can defend as well will be the question. We'll have to shoot at a high percentage to beat them.

I would say that a huge percentage of them who don't already have automatic enrollment would adopt it overnight.

Is Wal-Mart going after the Hispanic and African-American consumers? Absolutely. They're a significant percentage of Wal-Mart shoppers,

It¹s a compliment, because it¹s a place we haven¹t been in a long time and it sets our standard even higher. We also understand that the percentage points and the rankings can change weekly. What we have to do is concentrate on winning. That's the only thing we have control over. It¹s only October, and what we want to do is to be one of the top two teams in December.

I think it's always great to win, especially when you're confidence is in the balance. We've played a tough, grueling schedule. Texas A&M Corpus Christi was ranked 53 in the RPI (ratings percentage index). They may not be a household name, but they're a good team. We've played some good folks and hopefully we'll benefit. We just had more enthusiasm tonight, and we really fought hard. And it's nice when the bench comes in and produces.

I think the nature of the people that live here has something to do with it. You have a fair percentage of people that want to stay here. They find a way to make a living and stay here. You have a good work ethic. You have a diversity of different groups of people.

I think the output gap is around zero percent, plus or minus 0.5 percentage points.

I think you ought to take advantage of whatever rally, if you have one today, to trim whatever holdings you have that may be a disproportionate percentage in your portfolio.

I think the greatest percentage of our population has been very supportive of the project.

I think the final growth percentage for this year will start with a 1,

I think the difference in the game came in the fourth quarter. I thought we wore them down, and we were just able to get some high percentage shots in the fourth.

It is going to be a Fed week. The market is 100 percent in sync with a quarter of a percentage point rise for Fed fund rates at 4.75 percent.

I think we had a better percentage from the arc than we did inside the lane. We felt like we were good perimeter shooters, but we haven't demonstrated that ability all the time. But, when the defense gets extended, we have to be able to convert in the lane so other teams at least have to honor that.

I think we're going to go down to the wire whether or not it's a half-percentage point (increase). If you want to maintain market stability, a quarter percentage point could keep the market at bay.

I think that everyone would feel that a renegotiation that allows for a percentage of revenue would be the optimal outcome.

I think at the Fed they believe we're getting near full employment. You've got unit labor costs going up. If we get a very strong jobs number, I don't totally rule out a 50-basis point (half of a percentage point) hike in June.

I think as he develops, he's going to be a top-notch major league hitter. I think he'll be a guy with power, great on-base percentage and can drive in runs.

I think it's pretty much built into the market the Fed will raise rates by 25 percentage points, ... If they don't, that may upset the market, particularly since some of the recent (economic) reports have been weaker.

I think it's playing out exactly like we thought it would. We said as a union that in order for free agency to go off without a hitch, the owners would have to figure out how to divide up the revenue. It's not necessarily the percentage that we're asking but how they spread the wealth.

It is hard to imagine that too large a percentage of these jobs will be sustained over the next few weeks,

It is important to stretch our dollars as far as possible, ... The sale of the bonds was very timely. We got an excellent rate of return as we structured the bonds and as we sold them. Now that we know how much we're going to need to match the state, we can look at longer-term investment that might yield even a higher percentage than the local government investment pool - still being protected so that we can begin phasing in (construction) operations.

It is inevitable. More and more of these kids are in professional ball and will surely do well. That percentage will increase.

I will certainly welcome any idea that may bring the United States closer to Canada, Europe, Japan, England and other countries as partners in this convention, ... We cannot do without the Americans because they represent 25 percent of emissions, and an even greater percentage of the solution.

I think these numbers pretty much put a nail in the coffin of the notion that a 75 basis-point (three-quarters of a percentage point) cut will occur. I think (Fed Chairman Alan) Greenspan will get his wish for a move at the regular meeting, but they will do a 50 basis-point (half-point) cut.

Jason is a hard-nosed, tough player that compliments our lineup extremely well. He has always been a tough out while recording a high on-base percentage and has the ability to play all three outfield positions well.

January performance was the strongest since May 2003. Unusually strong equity market volatility and narrowing credit spreads created an exceptional trading environment for many hedge fund managers. The VIX, a measure of equity market volatility, jumped more than 21% to 14.56 after the January 20 stock market close, the biggest one-day percentage jump in nine months. Most hedge fund strategies require volatility to produce meaningful returns.

Jamie is one of the most accomplished pitchers in Mariners' history, leading the major leagues in winning percentage over the last eight years, ... But it is his commitment to making the difference in the life of those in need through the Moyer Foundation that has made people see you as a great baseball player and a great humanitarian.

Koreans - whose food bill as a percentage of income is higher than for citizens of almost all other OECD members - will enjoy lower food prices and a greater selection of fruits and vegetables. Money saved on food can be invested in education, leisure, and cutting-edge IT services - exactly the type of sectors that need to grow to provide future generations with well-paying jobs.

I think commercial property owners are going to be very surprised by (this) increase in appraised values, particularly since in most areas, rental rates have not increased by the same percentage that the appraised values have increased.

People are discovering that if you do very well with the constituency candidates, if you get 16 or 17 of those, you would end up, even though you had a high percentage of popular votes, you'd end up with scarcely any of the list candidates, ... I know that raises concerns among a lot of people and I think is worthy of debate over the next few weeks. This has become an issue of some contention in my view.
