Prefer Quotations | Page 4

Going into Florida, generally the cheap days are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, ... Coming out, the best days are Wednesday, Thursday, maybe Friday. Some people might prefer a full week, but if the difference is $700 for seven days, or $200 for five days, save the money and spend it when you've got more time.

Historically, (Chinese) families prefer a son. The son is the one who carries the family name, does the physical labor and takes care of the parents. Daughters take care of their in-laws.

He's a strong, good-sized kid. He doesn't come down easily. But we don't give him the ball a lot inside for 2-3 yard dive plays. We prefer giving him the ball off-tackle where he can get into the open field. Once he's in the clear, he's a vapor trail. He's gone. I don't remember seeing anybody who has caught him from behind.

There are several reasons for this (low number). The people who were taught to garden from seed by their parents, grandparents or teachers are more likely to garden from seed later. It requires time. You can't just sow seeds and walk away. You have to nurture that seed. Many people are too busy to start from seed and they would prefer to purchase plants.

I actually prefer night shoots to days. I prefer being up. It's easier for me. I'm more of a night person.

I actually like to sing on 'Rock Band.' I prefer to take the mic.

I was into whatever my big brother was into, like Black Sabbath and Zeppelin. But if I look at those two forms of music now, I much prefer The Partridge Family. I never liked Zeppelin.

Kim talked about them having a target on their back, and when you defeat the No. 4 team in the country, you all of a sudden have become a target yourself and that's OK. Any coach would prefer being a target versus chasing one.

Kerry's foreign friends may prefer him as U.S. president, but the election is in the hands of the American people.

I taught at Princeton and it was undergraduate and I much prefer teaching undergraduates to graduate students in writing programs.

I think, it's going to be very, very hard to get people seriously interested in energy stocks, although you never can say never on Wall Street, ... We would prefer to own some of the drillers, because with oil prices at the this level, it's going to encourage anybody, any country anywhere who might have some oil to look for it. And that will be good for the drillers. We would rather own those than the oil companies themselves.

I think it's fair to say the states would much prefer a strong federal approach ... but absent that, they have no option but to take action at the state and regional levels and to enter into litigation.

I think the Fed would prefer that they be predictable. I know they are accused of being secretive, but they really are not. They would actually like to be more transparent, but they can't always do that.

I think we prefer to go to instant check on an immediate basis and try to accelerate implementing instant checks so that you could literally check by thumb print whether there was a convicted felon with dangerous behavior or dangerous mental behavior. Instant check is a much better system than the Brady process.

I think what I would prefer to look at as a team is that they've only given up 28 sacks on the year. They know how to protect the passer and they know how to scheme to protect the passer.

I think a lot of artists get confused when people like their music; they think that means people know and like them. I'm sure there's an element of truth to that, but to me, the music I make is what I'm most proud of. I prefer to focus on that and for people to focus on the music, too.

It gets hard to keep some kids motivated. Most of them are ready to compete. I would prefer to have had a meet.

It is one year since the Court of First Instance confirmed Microsoft had to comply with the March 2004 decision. The Commission regrets Microsoft has failed to do so. We would prefer Microsoft to comply with the March 2004 decision, and not with their interpretation of that decision.

It is just a fun loving musical. 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' is not something that is featured a lot like other musicals. This allows it to be fresh to students and I think they will appreciate it.

Like most people, I resist the labels. I have told people, when pressed, that I prefer to be known as a modest judge. And, to me, that means some of the things that you talked about in those other labels. It means an appreciation that the role of the judge is limited; the judge is to decide the cases before them; they're not to legislate; they're not to execute the laws.

Lately, the market has been spiking violently up and violently down. And though we'd prefer it were different, this type of violent movement is appropriate right now. The market has come a long way.

I went into raw vegan for a while, but I prefer cooked food, the way it smells, the way it feels going through your system.

I think there are different kinds of comedians, and I prefer the clowns who are going: 'I'm an idiot, aren't we all a bit like this, laugh at me.' Whereas, a lot of other comedians are saying: 'Aren't I clever? You want to be me, aren't I cool? Revere me.' Which is fine. But that's not my bag.

I think there are some members who would prefer that the funds rate be at 3 percent, but I suspect there is a little concern about moving too fast and upsetting the household sector.

Just as most of us prefer to watch a trapeze artist work without a net, we like to be absolutely sure that a virtuoso is giving us our money's worth, and a seemingly effortless performance, no matter how spectacular it may be, deprives us of that slightly sadistic thrill.

I think dollar/yen (will stay) in a range before tomorrow's BOJ policy meeting ... but I prefer to buy on dips.

Palumbo is the most athletic and a very good scrambler, Rupert has the strongest arm and Knapp is somewhere between the other two.

Our research with young people shows that they really prefer experiential learning, which means they prefer to hear from someone who was there (about) what it was like, rather than read about it from a textbook or communicated by a third party. They remember more and understand it much more.

Research has demonstrated time and again that there are tremendous social and economic benefits to being attractive. Attractive people are paid more, are judged more intelligent and will receive more attention in most facets of life. Studies suggest that even infants prefer pretty faces.

Responsive leaders prefer knowledge and information to be spread as widely as possible among the population, because an informed public is necessary to govern effectively, independent thought produces original ideas and is the key factor by which we progress as a society. When independent thought is stifled society is and will remain stagnant until it is free to flourish once again.

People who prefer to feel more secure knowing there's a plan in place to cover a future health problem would be wise to choose a low-premium plan in case something happens down the line.

Ordinarily, I don't like to start shooting on a Monday. I prefer to begin in the middle of the week, if I can. On the first day, everyone's a little nervous and anxious, so you have a couple of days' shooting and then the weekend to get re-grouped and catch your breath.

Some of us would prefer to run in the afternoon, actually. But we won't get into that here, will we darling?

My own style is pretty classic; I much prefer to design for others.

My writing routine is: get son off to school and sit down at 8 A.M. I read what I wrote the day before, and then write longhand, into a notebook. I prefer paper and pen because it feels closer to my brain.

Many employers prefer to post jobs on their own Web sites, in newspapers or in trade journals. We have a large pool of candidates looking for jobs, and it is imperative that we list as many jobs as we can on this Web site, while also providing efficient search tools. This will enhance the prospects of both job seekers and employers.

Looking at the draw, I kind of prefer playing someone like tonight where I know who I'm facing on the other side.

Long-term interest rates are low and I'd prefer to buy when rates are higher and more attractive. As a federal government issuer or taxpayer, I'd be excited but, as an investor, I just don't see the appeal.

Matt gives us a steady inside presence. His ability to catch the ball in the post and pass it back to the perimeter gives us an inside-outside game. I prefer having Matt on the floor, but not at the expense of his long-term health. We have to be very careful not to jeopardize his Naval career.

Like many men, I am highly skilled in the art of losing things but prefer to outsource the recovery process.

My mother's Puerto Rican and my father's Russian-Jewish, so we consider ourselves to be Jewricans or Puertojews. I think Puertojew sounds like a kosher bathroom, so I prefer Jewrican.

I still prefer technology stocks. The tech sector is still the place were the earnings momentum is.

I still prefer a good juggler to a bad Hamlet.

I think I've got to help everybody have a better atmosphere to do their job. I don't call the plays on offense and defense. I have over the years, but prefer the role of being able to help those guys. I don't feel like I've helped them as much as I could have.

That's the way those guys prefer to work down there.

I would much prefer to see the arena not only owned and constructed but operated by the private sector. That takes it totally out of the government's hands, and it would be much better promoted. That, in itself, brings dividends to the city. That's the economic payoff to the city.

I would much prefer to see streamlined permitting... than tax incentives.

I would love to play here. I would love to stay here and play in Oklahoma City next year. I think our guys are at home here. I think the fans have been unbelievable. Out of our 12 home wins, I think the fans out there have won half of them. So, I would prefer to stay here next year.

My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer it when I kicked the hooligan.

My Catholic background has certainly affected the way I view life and it has become integral to everything I do.

We dropped a few minutes on the second stage today when we had to change a front left puncture, which is a real pity as we were quickest on stage one. I think we'll need a lot of luck for a win now but I'm happy with our pace this afternoon; the car is feeling good and we only have to make minor changes tonight. We have another repeated set of stages tomorrow; most people seem to make up time the second time through so I prefer to try and take a bit of an advantage on the first run.

We'd prefer to wait until the end of basketball season and then rip the floor up, but we have a short window to get it ready because we're probably going to have to have graduation in the gym again this spring. There's so much uncertainty with FEMA funding that when we're told to move, we're going to move as quickly as we can to get FEMA to pay 100 percent of the cost.

We've got some young guys that have to step up for us, no question. We can't necessarily wait for them to develop like you'd probably prefer to do. And you don't red-shirt in the NFL. So, we're going to need those guys if we're going to get where we want to go.
