Slight Quotations | Page 4

I don't know how to describe it except to say that what was once the beautiful and thriving city of New Orleans now looks more like a third world country, ... The living conditions for the injured, the sick and the survivors of Hurricane Katrina are disgusting. The stench is awful and the conditions are terrible, yet people hang on to life -- some ever so slight -- but they hang on.

I didn't feel it was a slight because I probably would've picked us eighth, ... Obviously, as a coach, you use that as a motivational aspect of, 'The West Coast doesn't know much about us.'

Chelsea were very strong favorites before the first leg but we got a good result and now they are only slight favorites. We have bridged the gap.

Hopefully, I think on Sri Lankan wickets we might have a slight chance of upsetting England. The guys are very keen. Initially bowling and fielding were our strong points, but the batting has got going. We have a balanced side. I will be happy if we can get to the last eight.

Homelessness among seniors is a tragedy we never want to see happen. Fortunately, the city does not have a large population of seniors without permanent housing, and although we have seen a slight increase - less than one-half percent - they make up less than 3 percent of the city's homeless population overall.

He's likable and normal but is a slight degree of a hermit and has a huge secret, ... I think it bothers him, but he's getting through and trying to keep a stiff upper lip about it.

He's a professional. He probably made a slight mistake by going public before he had a conversation with the GM, but I've said all along he's been a professional on the floor at practice, in the locker room, on the planes, on busses. I never saw any real unhappiness or anything like that.

Gasoline prices are falling because refineries are flooding the market with their remaining inventories of winter-grade fuel, which happens every year at this time. The slight downward trend should continue for a couple of weeks. Refineries begin shipping summer-grade fuel on March 1st. After then, motorists can expect to see prices turn upward again.

I can understand how he can take that (comment) to be what I didn't intend it to be so I can't fault him for reacting the way he did. I wanted to find out how he's doing. Again, he had a slight concussion.

I'd rather they come an hour before and read the program notes, so that they have some slight introduction to what they're going to hear. Then I recommend the most important thing of all. Listen, don't fight.

I don't see much risk of a blow out in financial credit spreads any time soon. The balance of risk favors some widening but I expect only slight moderation in 2006.

I don't see it helping either side because I haven't been around their program for four years. I'd be shocked if he had any idea what we were doing or knew anything about our personnel before this week. If anything, we might have a slight advantage because we get to see them a lot on television. Our games aren't really televised that often.

I feel as though Japan overall has started to bear a slight resemblance to the asset bubble period.

He's got a slight strain of the right lat, not his shoulder, not his elbow. We'll evaluate him tomorrow, but we don't even know if he's going to miss a start. We think he's going to be just fine and dandy.

Come Tuesday morning, everybody's going to be here working. As soon as the insurance company gives us the OK, we're going to go ahead and rebuild. We should have a slight transition for our customers and our help.

He actually made a big difference, because their defense had created problems for my offense. It wasn't running the way I wanted it to. When we brought him in and made a slight adjustment to how we entered our offense, it changed what they did. He picked up the slack.

For the most part, spending continued steadily throughout the weekend. It is not unusual to see a slight slowdown in sales after an initial surge on the day after Thanksgiving -- particularly with a long shopping season.

You know, people who almost - yeah, there's a slight reluctance there - but there's also an ambiguity. What are their morals? What is their code of living. What are they really doing here. And it is just interesting because it is never black or white.

The ideal scenario for Mexico would be a slowdown in the U.S. economy of 1-2 percent combined with easing in monetary by the Fed, ... Mexican companies may see a slight slowdown in exports to the U.S., but will benefit from a drop in their debt service costs under this scenario.

All things being equal, I have a slight preference for the amount of consternation I am causing.

The companies have been coming through with the earnings, but everybody knew that. People have become accustomed to the earnings being good. There's no surprise element. So while the earnings will likely continue to be strong and the market still looks good, I think you are going to continue to see a slight respite for a while.

All of those guys can score points for us. We may have a slight edge (on the other teams) on the guys side. It all depends on how well we step up on Saturday.

All of that, I think, ought to sound like common sense. It's pretty reasonable. But what we've found is that in the tens of thousands of police departments across the country, that's a slight sort of shift in thinking. Most police departments don't have all the skills to do that.

The market's slight disappointment with the figures may reflect a perception of lower profit leverage to the higher sales growth together with another indifferent quarter in the medical division.

The market has been pretty oversold and pessimism was and continues to be widespread, so the slight improvement in the economic data this morning and the fact that the Fed kept interest rates unchanged speaks to that pessimism for now. But tech continues to suffer, when other sectors are doing fine today (Thursday).

The latest PMI data point to a slight moderation in the pace of global manufacturing output, to a still robust 5 to 6 percent annual rate.

The likely scenario is that we'll wear down even more by the end of the day, and that's actually the best thing that could happen, ...

The long-awaited rules are likely to be issued in a month, when the Ministry of Commerce has made some slight amendments.

Formerly, his heart had been as a locked casket with its treasure inside; but now the casket was empty, and the lock was broken. Left groping in darkness, with his prop utterly gone, Silas had inevitably a sense, though a dull and half-despairing one, that if any help came to him it must come from without; and there was a slight stirring of expectation at the sight of his fellow-men, a faint consciousness of dependence on their goodwill.

If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down".

Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!

It's odd to meet a rather elderly man who says, 'I've been reading you all my life.' It makes you feel a slight chill.

I love little children, and it is not a slight thing when they, who are fresh from God, love us

In the decline of life shame and grief are of short duration; whether it be that we bear easily what we have borne long; or that, finding ourselves in age less regarded, we less regard others; or, that we look with slight regard upon afflictions to w
