Attention Quotes
We're showing the world your company in a very short period of time and in a very small space. We have to get the right brand and the right message out there. When somebody is walking through a hall, you have their attention for about three seconds. You need to transmit a message to them within that time, make them understand what you're selling. There's a lot of thought that goes into these things.

Committed Quotes
Like all Americans, members of the Stanford community feel great compassion for the many who have suffered loss and a desire to respond to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, ... We are committed to helping out in whatever way we can, and we hope these efforts will make a small contribution to the outpouring of relief to victims of this disaster.

Astronomer Quotes
MAGNITUDE, n. Size. Magnitude being purely relative, nothing is large and nothing small. If everything in the universe were increased in bulk one thousand diameters nothing would be any larger than it was before, but if one thing remain unchanged all the others would be larger than they had been. To an understanding familiar with the relativity of magnitude and distance the spaces and masses of the astronomer would be no more impressive than those of the microscopist. For anything we know to the contrary, the visible universe may be a small part of an atom, with its component ions, floating in the life- fluid (luminiferous ether) of some animal. Possibly the wee creatures peopling the corpuscles of our own blood are overcome with the proper emotion when contemplating the unthinkable distance from one of these to another.

Bending Quotes
Machines this small tend to stick to everything they touch, the way sand sticks to your feet after a day at the beach, ... So we built these microrobots without any wheels or hinged joints, which must slide smoothly on their bearings. Instead, these robots move by bending their bodies like caterpillars. At very small scales, this machine is surprisingly fast.

Kids Quotes
Lou has really put us on the map. He has been so important to this program because he's shown other kids in the school that you can wrestle and be successful at St. Mary's. Just because we're a small school and we have to roll out the mats in the cafeteria to practice, it doesn't mean we can't be competitive.

Calendars Quotes
Last year the Parish Nurses received grant funding to do a drug prevention education calendar. The Scouts did a pilot project by doing several small presentations and having students do drawings. Calendars were made and distributed to elementary schools in Derby, Seymour and Oxford.

Adjust Quotes
Many of us dismiss talk that does not convey important information as worthless - meaningless small talk if it's a social setting or "empty rhetoric" if it's public. Such admonitions as "Skip the small talk, " "Get to the point," or "Why don't you say what you mean?" may seem to be reasonable. But they are reasonable only if information is all that counts. This attitude toward talk ignores the fact that people are emotionally involved with each other and that talking is the major way be establish, maintain, monitor and adjust our relationships.

Against Quotes
Many small companies simply don't want to get bigger. We did a case study on one company in which the owner had a chance to buy out a competitor and decided against it. He told me, 'I'd rather pack my kids' lunch and walk them to school.' He just felt his life was a lot better if he stayed small.

She's the best girls player I've ever seen. To score 2,000-plus points is amazing and I am proud just to have been a small part of it. She's a great kid with a great future in front of her. Fairmont State is not only getting a great player, but a great person and I am going to miss her.

Box Quotes
She's small, but she's the strongest kid on the team. She came in with fire and intensity, got on the floor and grabbed loose balls. As small as she is, she's strong enough to box out and grab rebounds and produce offense. She has good moves. She's just small, so she really has to work twice as hard as everybody else.

Bounce Quotes
Some mid- to small-sized businesses will not bounce back quickly. Small manufacturers, with older equipment, may not necessarily choose to come up with the capital to rebuild. There will be strong construction but I don't think we will see the same thing as we do after other hurricanes.

Chance Quotes
Similarly, if the summit outcome doesn't include the need to control small arms, which are the real weapons of destruction, and does not include the need for all developed nations to spend 0.7 percent of gross national income (GNI) in overseas aid, this historic chance for reform will result in failure,

Across Quotes
She had followed me out to Hollywood from St. Paul. I was living in a boarding house, and she had a small apartment across the street. She supported me pretty much for about a year while I tried to get work. Her parents had said that we could marry once I had a job and good prospects, and the seven-year contract qualified.

Assess Quotes
Sit down and make a list of all the things that you would like in a dog and, by all means, investigate the breed type. You don't want a border collie if you lead a sedentary lifestyle. Next, assess your lifestyle: Do you have small children? Are you able to devote time to play with and train an animal? What is the size of your home or yard?
