Rise Quotations | Page 3

Poetry is a pure meritocracy. There's no room for ambiguity: either a poem moves you and opens up new vistas in life, or it doesn't. It's completely objective, and the best always rise to the top.

Portugal were always better than us. We're not happy. It was the most important game and we didn't rise to the occasion. Portugal were always superior.

Port and airport stocks have been undervalued recently. Their prices may continue to rise in the coming few days, and they should have good prospects as they're supported by China's fast economic growth.

Portal continues its assault on the billing industry's dirty little secret--poor customer satisfaction. With service providers facing an increasingly volatile market with competitors entering from every direction, billing and Revenue Management solutions will rise in prominence as a mission-critical and differentiating business weapon. As such, we have seen an increased willingness among service providers to shop for new solutions that best address today's business climate.

Ongoing strength in energy prices is perhaps the most critical element in a continued run in gold prices, but the rise in oil prices can't become so strong that growth is undermined.

New charity activities and donations are on the rise these years. Thus animal adoption no longer stands out.

Never was heard such a terrible curse ! ! / But what gave rise / To no little surprise, / Nobody seemed one penny the worse!

Only two of the 10 industry groups surveyed this month - chemicals and metal products - expect prices to rise in their sector over the coming three months. Cost pressures from high oil and transportation prices will only serve to depress profits further,

One of the great joys of launching your idea on the web is that it's a meritocracy. The good stuff will rise to the top and find an audience, and you don't have to impress one idiosyncratic commissioning editor.

One of the great difficulties as you rise up through an organisation is that your prior competencies are exploded and broken apart by the territory you've been promoted into: the field of human identity.

One of the immutable patterns of history is the rise and fall of great powers. Those that survive are the ones that adapt as the world changes.

I would expect costs to rise as the year goes on. They shifted some savings into this quarter.

If we don't have a particularly cold winter, we won't see prices rise dramatically.

If we'd had a substantial decline in the dollar against the Chinese currency we'd have probably seen a substantial rise in the price of some of the items that we buy from China.

If we here in this chamber don't work together to reform the government, the people will rise up and reform it themselves. And I will join them. And I will fight with them.

If the rise in petrol prices in the producer-price data is reflected in the CPI data, there is a risk the inflation rate could be 2.2 percent.

If the rise in imports and utilization manifest this week continues next week, it could apply some downward pressure. Of course, any decline in petroleum prices would be predicated on the notion that the Iranian geopolitical situation remains relatively quiet.

If the rise had been lower, such as 0.4 percent, I'd have said the chances of a March move were 30 percent versus 70 percent in April. But now, against my better judgment, I'd have to say the chances of a March are 50-50, maybe a bit more in favor of March.

If this is sustained we can be more hopeful the trade deficit will not rise further,

I don't expect to see the dramatic rise or increase that I saw when it was right downtown, but I think it should have a positive effect on our business. I would rather it be downtown, of course, but I'm a downtown girl.

I don't dare say that I favor gold in the long run. After gold's rise to these levels, I think there will be a correction.

I'd love to tell you there's a whole bunch of difference, but it seems to be just a whole bunch of back and forth right now. We're done with our two weeks. We're trying to make some decisions. We'd love for one guy to rise up above the other, but right now they're both kind of going back and forth. If that's the case then they're both going to play. If not, then we'll name a starter. But right now we're not prepared to do that.

I don't know what it is, and I don't really care what it is. It doesn't matter. It's gotta stop. You've got to be tough enough to rise up and make a play.

I don't know what the bond market has been worried about. There's much talk about the possibility of inflation beginning to pick up. I don't see any signs of that at all apart from the rise in energy prices, which we all knew was going to take place.

I do not think this is indicative of housing being strong, but rather that fact that people are expecting rates to rise and they are taking advantage of that.

I am expecting six medals and hoping for eight. Our Sport England target is eight, which is very stiff indeed but it is up to us to rise to the challenge.

I am certainly not worried about the rise of left-of-center governments,

I am very disappointed (that we didn't take the lead) but such is life... in this game you are going to fall, but you have to know that you will have to rise again.

Carlos is an outstanding young coach and we're happy to be able to announce one of our former student-athletes as head coach. Carlos has been around this team for the past three seasons and has helped them rise to not only the top of the SEC, but helped put UK on the map as one of the premier programs in the country. I'm confident this level of excellence will continue under his guidance.

But it was the 39 percent rise in jet fuel costs in the last month alone that pushed us to make this decision.

Businesses were liquidating inventory last fall at a frenetic pace and adding to weakness in the economy's production. It looks like the rate of inventory liquidation is starting to slow, and a basis is forming from that reduction for a rise in the economy.

Bundled services platforms enable banks to strengthen their roles as lenders and create a sophisticated home equity lending environment. Home equity loans and lines of credit continue to rise in popularity, and so does the need and demand for more efficient methods in delivering these loans to borrowers. The significant increase in our platform numbers since the beginning of the year is a reflection of the industry embracing home equity as a strategic business move, as well as the implementation of innovative technology solutions.

Based on past experience, the index is more likely to rise than fall in January.

Bearing in mind that the Fed wants higher inflation, the news is not unwelcome. And the market will remain firmly in the camp that the Fed will not tighten soon, ... Nevertheless, the risks from the PPI are easy to see and look real in light of the big decline of the dollar and rise in import costs that preceded them.

Because of the rise in home values, much of that financial distress has been covered by the increasing amount of equity that people have had in their homes. That equity is now being created at a slower pace, and default activity is inevitably on the rise.

Barry has been very important to our success over the years. Whether it was a director of basketball operations or as our associate head coach, he was a vital part to our program's rise to elite status in the Big East and nationally.

Barry Goldwater and the Grand Canyon stand together; both unique, both monumental, both among the very best of God's creation. And I believe Barry Morris Goldwater will be remembered as long as each morning the sun continues to rise over the Grand Canyon,

China is letting the yuan rise in very small increments, so the need to buy dollars remains. So long as it continues this policy, the pace of buying will remain constant, and its reserves will keep rising.

I'm a little wounded but I'm not slain; I will lay me down for to bleed awhile, Then I'll rise and fight with you again

I lost my best friend two years ago and I was going through a lot of grief, so it was a huge struggle to rise out of that angst and focus on my creativity and work. But eventually through my work, I realized that you can reclaim your art through the grieving process. It's about the journey you have to go through to reclaim it.

If inflation or inflation expectations were to rise persistently, then policy clearly would have to be tightened further,

I feel enormously blessed to be a successful black woman writer in this culture, but I have found my small fame, such as it is, to be very isolating... because I think that especially for black women, the more we rise from the bottom, the more we move and journey, the more we are the targets of the most brutal and vicious attacks.

If bond yields keep rising which I think they will, then not even stocks are safe from a welcome decline in energy prices. In this case lower energy prices could prove to be a Trojan horse unleashing a problematic rise in market rates.

I can't really speak to the other parts of the economy, but what I think is very true of the tech world is that it's easy for talented people - whatever their gender, age, or race - to rise up and succeed.

Growth looks more likely to stay below than to rise above 2.5 in the foreseeable future. A further decline in inflation, coupled with mediocre growth, will likely tilt the balance towards further rate cuts later this year.

Growth, geopolitical risk and potentially higher energy prices point to the possibility of another rise in commodity prices. It's too early to conclude that the upward ascent has ended. We are more likely in the midst of a pause.

Given the fact that prices of perishable foods already started to rise and an imbalance in supply-and-demand continued to narrow thanks to economic growth, the fall in GDP deflator will be smaller in January-March.

Given the extent of the rise the level of the pull-back seems to be fairly minimal and after consolidating the up trends are likely to push prices higher still.

Given the election situation, I don't see a sharp rise in fuel prices, but further interest rate hikes won't be a negative political factor.

Given the complete absence of meaningful inflationary pressure evident in the economy now, and -- as the Fed put it, 'tentative evidence of a slowing in certain interest-rate sensitive sectors of the economy' -- we think there is very little chance that rates will rise again in the current cycle.

Given that the global landscape will continue to change with the rise of China, India, and other countries, the United States needs all the friends it can get. One simply can't overestimate what our country stands to lose in terms of economic power if American companies find it difficult to trade overseas. There are clear signs that American hegemony is faltering.

Friendly, accommodating and customer-centered as always. Even though I don't normally have champagne with breakfast at the crack of dawn, I felt compelled to rise to the occasion when it was offered.

Gains in U.S. stocks and a halt in the yen's rise are both supportive for the market.

Fundamentalism is not a phenomenon limited to religion. Any belief system can become intolerant and give rise to violence. Whether one likes it or not, humanity is 'wired' for myth. Mutual tolerance is the only way.

Fukui's comments were just very hawkish overall. There's certainly room for short-term yields to rise and the yield curve to flatten more as the market factors all this in.

Funds are buying and China's demand is still healthy. The sharp rise was to catch up with gains in London in the past week.

If, as expected, the October employment report shows a sharp rise in unemployment and a sharp decline in job growth, it could be a crushing blow to confidence. Having a job is probably the single biggest factor in consumers having confidence.

I expect salaried workers' incomes to rise after April. This will push the deflator up more.

I expect this number to rise toward the end of the year. At the same time jobs and wages won't rise fast enough to offer relief to already overstretched consumers. This could hurt retail spending in the second-half.

I expect the most significant rise of the water level on Wednesday.

I don't think it really suggests there is any inflation developing -- a 0.3 percent rise in wages is pretty manageable. But it's a pretty positive report; it suggests that the overall jobs market is pretty healthy.

I don't think it's a very good idea. It's gonna take too much time, the price of tickets are gonna rise and plus they should trust us. It's gonna be too many restrictions on us having fun.

From the outside you look at these contestants and think 'get a life,' but within certain subcultures ù and we're all in one that looks strange to the outside ù if you're a part of that rabid fan community, this is one of the ways you express it and rise to the top of that subculture.

From the time we knew we were at the Pole, Commander Peary scarcely spoke to me... It nearly broke my heart... that he would rise in the morning and slip away on the homeward trail without rapping on the ice for me, as was the established custom.

Given what's already priced in, I don't think there's any reason for the yen to rise much further.

Given the rise we saw, it shows you the importance of interest rates and what the Fed thinks. This gives us hope that the Fed will be sensitive to the economy and we can get back to that nice 'Goldilocks' economy where growth is just right.

Given the rise of chronic conditions and the rapid aging of the population, there has never been a more urgent need to improve quality and reduce costs through the optimal use of technology. I look forward to helping frame the discussion of how technology can help connect people and information in new and important ways that can enable better healthcare at lower cost.

Given the rise in activism in the last few years, especially last year, we may not be able to render a verdict for a while. But it seems like it has been hit or miss.

Globally we have seen a significant rise in variety of products. Consumers are looking for more products that address their individual needs, and this is resulting in more product offerings. There is a particular focus on catering to the aging consumer, specifically in the non-foods product categories.

If it does snow as much as we think it might, the snow could stick around to Monday or Tuesday, when the temperatures will rise to the 40s.

If it doesn't rise we've got a concern. But that concern is not in the short term.

If it doesn't get there, prices will rise again. They may not be able to find the ships.

If the theft continues at this pace, the volume and cost of the stolen gas will rise quite considerably.

If that happens the market may rise very well next week.

If the dollar gets above the level we saw in the fourth quarter, then there will start to be a slight detriment to earnings. The dollar index would have to rise by about 3 percent from where it is now to start even showing up as a slight impact.

If the CPI core rate shows not much of a rise then the market will be able to just focus on good earnings. It will show that the Fed is staying ahead of the inflation curve, which is a positive for the market.

If the core CPI is above market consensus forecast of a rise of 0.4 percent year-on-year, this would fuel speculation that the Bank of Japan will end its ultra-easy monetary policy at its meeting next week, which could spark a spate of yen-buying.

If the CNY revaluation story loses steam, Hong Kong's interest rate could rise by over 100 bps soon.

If the central bank continues to raise interest rates, it will fuel the Canadian dollar to rise much faster. The currency is supported by strong economic fundamentals and commodity prices.

If it's a good piece of entertainment, it's probably going to rise above that.

If it looks like high oil prices will be sustained or even rise further, then it does put the pressure on the bank to hike rates again.

If oil prices continue to rise and there's an escalation of the situation in the Middle East, the question would come up, are we headed for some type of OPEC embargo and where would that send prices. It seems like all of the negative news that possibly could be surrounding the oil market is at hand.

I always love being on the field. When you're on defense you can be a playmaker like you can't really when you're playing on the offensive line. And I was really fired up about that chance but it didn't rise to that, so maybe hopefully later on in the season.

He was very good. He's a guy we monitor every day and watch very closely because he's taken steps as we've gone along. As the pace of the game rises, we hope he will rise with it. Tonight was a good example of him playing a very good game on both sides of the puck. He made a lot of smart plays.

He has learned how to rise to the occasion. He trains hard and gets more out of his body than anybody.

He'd rise early and wake me up, drag my butt out of bed. But I was never afraid of competition. I would make him come out with me to play at night.

He may have been careless, but it doesn't rise to the level of reckless and wanton disregard for human life.

He nailed the big one. The question was, can he rise to the big game? And he did.

We can expect to see worse numbers to come. The simple reason is when there is a rise in oil prices that increase in oil price for a particular month does not tend to spill over into the trade deficit until the next month.

We expect to see a modest rise in delinquencies in the quarters ahead.

There is a lack of buyer conviction. The whole dynamic of the Nasdaq rise and correction is, in a broader sense, an inflection point. But investors just view it as weakness.

There is a growing emergency for more than 56,000 children who are believed to be suffering from moderate and severe malnutrition in affected areas. the figure is expected to rise dramatically over the next three months.

There is no chance of a spontaneous slowing in home sales. The market will soften if -- and only if -- mortgage rates rise significantly.

Within the investment data, government-sponsored infrastructure investment projects are in full swing. But the real story is the sharp rebound in the real-estate sector. The rise of property prices in second-tier cities has now evolved into a national event.

Within the consumer grocery sector European companies are shifting their gaze eastwards due to competitive pressures caused by an increase in private labeling and a rise in discounters. However, as with the retail sector, success in Eastern Europe will largely depend on the available logistics network, which is where 3PLs with the necessary infrastructure could play a significant role.

We've got to rise to a higher level,

We suffered losses because the increase in the domestic price of oil products was much lower than the rise in international oil prices.

We can clearly see consumer prices starting to rise and investors are going to demand higher yields.
