On a long enough timeline. The survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
William Faulkner
You live and learn. At any rate, you live.
Douglas Adams
The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he, by peddling second-rate technology, who led them into it in the first place.
Douglas Adams
Target is a great example of an extraordinarily fine company with above average growth rate, ... Most consumers know Target. But maybe they don't know how socially responsible they are.
Daniel Boone
At any rate, I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice.
Albert Einstein
That low inflation rate leaves the Fed plenty of latitude to remain on hold, and reinforces our expectation that [a rate increase] is unlikely before the third quarter of 2004.
Maury Harris
They were very keen to start the process early, ... But once they start, they may not continue at a rapid rate.
Lorenzo Codogno
People are reassessing the U.S. economic outlook because they had thought the recovery was jobless. People are beginning to price in the chance of a rate hike by August.
Niels Christensen
There are elements of a win because the rate that was going to be in effect for the Web was cut in half, and there's no longer a two-tiered structure.
Alex Alben
Some modest further increase in the policy interest rate would be required to keep aggregate supply and demand in balance and inflation on target.
David Dodge
2005 began with a dollar that was very cheap due to fundamental issues like the current account deficit. Rate differentials then supported the dollar, and we think relative rates will continue to drive currency markets.
Teis Knuthsen
We see ourselves having a mid-teens growth rate.
Paul Klaassen
We need to hold the school board more accountable ... commissioners should exercise more oversight. I'm not happy with the dropout rate.
Terry King
It may be even more that one (rate hike). If they move once there is always another chance for another one, but I think the message that we got from Greenspan today is that it will not be an aggressive increase in rates.
Stephen Gallagher
There's a lot of momentum and unless something changes it, like another rate hike, we'd expect it to continue. We don't feel super bullish about the market, though ... One thing that we're not doing is chasing the super big-cap names just because they've going up.
Ross Margolies
The folks dumping full-size SUVs were moving to minivans at a higher rate than ever before.
John Krafcik
The market currently sees an 80 percent chance of another interest rate rise in March.
Satoru Ogasawara
A rate-hike response by the ECB would not have achieved much [and would have been] counter-productive in slowing European growth.
Alison Cottrell
North Dakotans are hard workers. Looks to me like the low crime rate and lack of commuting problems should be effective in getting businesses to come into the state.
David G. Tuerck
Focus debt payments on the credit card, then the car, and then the student loans -- always pay your loans in interest rate order, not in order of balance size.
Doug Flynn
You might lose your spontaneity and, instead of composing first-rate Gershwin, end up with second rate Ravel.
Maurice Ravel
Revenue growth is decelerating rapidly, and a trough isn't expected until the third quarter of 2001, ... Based on semiconductor industry data for November, we also lowered our projection of the global industry's growth rate in 2000 to 36 percent from 40 percent.
Mark Edelstone
These rate levels may prove to be one of the best buying opportunities of the year.
William O'donnell
We have some information that the vehicle may have been at a high rate of speed. It's really too early for us to make any comments in that regard (possible impairment).
John Johnston
We can reach the break-even point with a utilization rate as low as 80 percent if we have the right product mixture.
Richard Chang
Oftentimes, executive [pay] tends to rise at a slightly higher rate. All categories have been pretty even.
Charles Peck
To compete in a specialist market like marine when you've got a high exchange rate is exceptionally difficult. Companies have got to be very smart and have a particular niche where they excel.
Maurice Stilwell
I think the general message here is that despite the fears about a low savings rate, the consumer continues to hang in there, and that's essentially the only thing that's going to keep the economy on track.
Wayne Ayers
However, I don't see a dramatic drop ahead. The market had already priced in the rate increase.
Gerardo Copca
Inflation risks have risen and the pace of interest rate increases will depend on developments as regards growth and inflation risks.
Nicholas Garganas
It strikes us both as brave and foolish to look for an improbable rate hike at this particular meeting.
Carl B. Weinberg
In the near term, people are looking at the ECB and a rate hike in March. That is supporting the euro.
Sabrina Jacobs
Instead of being one of a number of options, they sell the sizzle of the start rate rather than the details of the mortgage.
Jay Wilson
Strong economic figures will surely highlight expectations of further Fed rate increases, boosting the dollar. The dollar is just licking its wounds from the recent decline, but it will bounce back very soon.
Tetsuhisa Hayashi
I think you will find we will have to repay the debt and before the election next year a special rate will have been imposed.
Max Walker
European government bonds are going to be the worst performing area in the first quarter. There'll be one more rate hike in the first quarter and another in the second quarter.
Stuart Thomson
We now have two (instruments), an interest rate floor and the short. We're keeping the short hidden away in a little box for now, in case we need it.
Guillermo Ortiz
We want to see a competitive and stable exchange rate, nothing more, nothing less.
Tito Mboweni
We are pleased to have helped FEMA house so many Mississippians. Federal and state officials have said that we are housing people at a record rate, allowing hurricane victims to rebuild their lives faster than ever before.
Paul Divjak
An end to the interest rate increases will support demand from the U.S., helping shares of exporters.
Choi Chang Hoon
We're number one in domestic violence homicides. We also have a high rate of alcohol abuse and drug abuse and there's a high lethality rate when you get those factors involved, so the shelter has 52 beds, certainly it is never empty.
Diana Burch
The euro has been the victim of an ever widening interest-rate differential to the dollar, a dynamic that has hurt the currency over the past six months as the carry spread now stands at 175 basis points against it.
Boris Schlossberg
We expect growth to double that rate in 2006.
Robert Payne
The reference rate might fall in April by another 25 basis points.
Bertrand Delgado
Research studies to determine the increasing mortality rate and its link with HIV/Aids have not been undertaken.
Bheki Manzini
The surprise might be an additional move toward hinting that the process of gradual rate hikes is not infinite.
Paul Rabbit
I believe Google can be bought here. There is a scarcity of companies with high, organic growth in this market, and that is why I expect Google to go up. Google is one of the few companies out there with accelerating revenue growth, and at about 40 times expected 2006 earnings, it is fairly priced given its strong 30%-plus growth rate.
Jim Cramer
The rate debate seems more alive than ever, so all the U.K. data will be important.
Neil Parker
Given that our growth rate is not particularly strong, it is not immediately important to us. Over time it will be though as we retire older servers.
Michael Hodges
The state is creating jobs at a prodigious rate. It has all the makings of a job-creating machine: good weather, low costs, a growing population, a strong tourism industry and little heavy manufacturing.
Ross Devol
The rampant rate of teen pregnancy is a job killer.
Tim Sheehy
Over the past six months, the core PPI is up at about a 0.5 per cent annual rate. There is no indication that higher energy prices have led to broad inflationary pressures.
Dick Green
We expect equities to continue to benefit from the low interest rate environment and continued solid earnings growth, particularly from the industrial and financial sectors.
Mpho Mojalefa
The group who had reported skin cancer in 1982 had about a 25 to 30 percent higher death rate from cancers generally during the next 12 years than people who did not report skin cancer.
Michael Thun
Small-caps should do better because they are less sensitive to interest rate increases. A rising rate environment historically correlates with small-caps outperforming.
Thomas Laming
The more products and services you add to the bundle, the lower the churn rate is, ... more of them are going to stay with us.
Jim Robbins
Stocks are looking up due to broader optimism about the U.S. economy. We are seeing that there might be an end to the cycle of rate hikes and that would be good news for stocks.
Jonathan Monk
I am proposing a balanced budget and at this point, I am proposing no rate increases. I am proposing the effective tax rate.
Kevin Evans
We have a 100 per cent disposal rate, ... We don't keep anything.
M. Hardman
Government debt sold off too much. Yields are high enough to lure investors. Yields already reflect speculation that a rate increase may come in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Tatsuo Ichikawa
As spring arrives, outdoor business endeavors should increase causing the unemployment rate to continue to drop over the next couple of months.
Wayne Gasson
The inflation rate is near the upper end of the Fed's tolerance zone, and it shows little inclination to go in the other direction.
Richard Fisher
The interest rate environment is very troubling. Investors are trying to get their arms around the increases. There are still many economists out there that are calling for at least another half-point increase after this. So the near-term outlook, albeit earnings, is making investors very, very nervous.
Mark Stoeckle
Housing finance has bottomed out at a relatively high level after losing some altitude in the wake the central bank rate rise in early 2005.
Joseph Capurso
The oil price spike raises the risk that the rate cut may have to be pushed out to the middle of the year.
Robin Clements
Craft beer volume growth far exceeded that of large brewers, wine and spirits in 2005. And even though imported beer grew nicely in 2005, craft beer grew at a faster rate.
Paul Gatza
I think it's inexcusable we don't do a better job of training. The average turnover rate is something like 136 percent, so they actually lose more drivers than they're able to hire.
Todd Spencer
What we see right now is a snapshot of a long time process between the magnetic field and the inner core. I do expect to see this rate change with time.
Xiaodong Song
It really was a business decision. Putting that $17 million into the pool of resources will allow us to have more cash in hand, get a better bond rating and borrow money at a lower rate.
Joseph Orlando
It's very hard to describe an economy with the lowest unemployment rate in the world as in recession.
Craig Ebert
What we are seeking is for the federal government to pick up the gap, ... The amount that they offer is not commensurate with the market rate for living in Atlanta.
Allen Walker
I won't be surprised to see more falls in the property and financial sectors even if presales of apartments continue to do well. Investors are worried now by prospects of rate hikes larger than those in previous months.
Castor Pang
Should consumer prices fall more than expected, it will certainly diminish concern about inflation and reduce expectations for further rate hikes in the U.S.. There's more room for the dollar to fall toward the year-end.
Takehiko Jimbo
Japan's interest rates are still low. The rate- differential story still attracts Japanese investors to higher yielding assets.
Jun Kitazawa
I think there will be a high rate of participation. Most parties appear to have decided to back the process and fight on the election battlefield.
Carina Perelli
Adding the P&G infrastructure is like putting a growth hormone into Gillette, and that in turn helps P&G businesses. P&G is continuing its growth into developing markets at a very fast rate and already has surpassed the market leaders of previous centuries in developing markets.
Gary Stibel
In fact, there is a chance that the March rate cut might be just [a quarter-percentage point] and not the [half-percentage-point] the market expects.
Tony Crescenzi
The fall in employment is a good indicator that things are pretty tough. The economy faces some stiff headwinds from the central bank's interest-rate increases and that's going to be showing up in the employment market, the housing market and consumer spending.
Stephen Walters
The growth rate in the enterprise resource planning applications market is coming down from 60 percent to 40 percent.
Art Russell
There is a slowing growth environment in Australia, evident predominantly in the housing market. There is also continued narrowing in the interest rate differential.
Michael Jansen
We are definitely getting another rate cut.
Lara Rhame
If there's a problem, you can easily reverse (lap-band) by removing the band. It's the safest weight-loss procedure available, with a (national) mortality rate of 1 in 2,000, compared to 1 in 200 for gastric bypass.
Robert Richard
Original programming is the riskiest thing you do in television, ... The failure rate is so high.
Steve Koonin
For the remainder of the year we expect further rate softening in this segment.
Clifford Gallant
Coming off a fairly steady rate environment in 2004, these are very modest interest rate increases for the level of economic growth we are expecting.
Doug Duncan
The near-term momentum is clearly favorable to the dollar. Two further rate hikes are a pretty sure thing.
Hans Goetti
In the euro zone numbers have been better than expected. In respect to second half of the year the market is too cautious on the ECB and future rate hikes.
Michael Klawitter
You may see the mortality rate go up -- but that's not necessarily because SARS per se is getting worse.
Dr. Julie Gerberding
They've been at that rate since the building opened in 1996. That rate really represents the rental rate it would take to justify the construction of a new downtown high-rise.
Jamie Brown
The rate of growth over the last couple of years has been solid.
Steve Hine
The school district is still going to get their same dollar amount. But the tax rate to taxpayers will be slightly higher than what we calculated originally.
G. Stanley Hall
The tax rate will not change.
Stan Olson
Good growth rate, (although) the stock has been knocked down sharply.
David Dreman
It might be too early to call [this] the bottom, but we think we are very close to the bottom on Internet stocks. Once we get officially past these rate fears, than one can expect some kind of rally in the group.
Frederick Moran
We are the car manufacturer who grew the most, not only in growth rate but in absolute numbers, which was very rewarding ... since we were not on the front line of the incentive game.
Carlos Ghosn
This was the first test of the president's pledge to end our oil addiction. At the rate we're going, we're not going to get out of rehab.
Charlie Miller
We are on the brink ... and anyone who thinks the political situation is manageable at this rate of economic deterioration is going to be shocked.
John Makumbe
The average debt per household is $9,000. The rate now is $180. It will be $360.
Howard Dvorkin
Any time you raise the price you are going to drive down consumption, as we saw in New York City. The smoking rate in New York City has fallen dramatically since they initiated the tax increase.
Russell Sciandra
No other industry would allow that rate of failure in product packaging.
John Conover
It was built to persuade young people that first-rate science can happen here and that we in Africa can experience the universe with the best of them.
David Laney
The clock rate curves have pretty much flattened out since 2002.
James Gosling
Prospects for widening rate differentials between the U.S. and economies such as Japan and Europe helped the dollar this year and will continue to do so.
Osamu Takashima
That could very well change. I'm sure he could be persuaded one way or another. The kind of people who rate horses had him at 20-to-1 (in the Kentucky Derby Future Pool).
Jerry Hollendorfer
This is huge growth rate, especially for this mature phase of the business cycle. We just can't sustain this kind of growth, given the limited resources that are available, very long.
Richard Rippe
I would never underestimate that team. But right now the rate of change seems to be moving against them.
Dick Lampman
The news should improve in the second half as likely Fed rate cuts begin to affect the economy and earnings momentum improves on easy comparison.
Steve Milunovich
This 50 percent increase in our quarterly dividend rate, the third increase since the beginning of 2005, reflects our confidence about our financial outlook and our commitment to increasing shareholder value.
John Surma
Don't confuse a recovery with growth. The question for investors is not how does Disney fare for this quarter. The question is next year -- and the growth rate is not sustainable.
Richard Greenfield
People are neither dismissive nor cynical, ... They believe that the changes will matter and some of the early evidence, such as the rate of goal-scoring, bears out their expectations.
Bruce Anderson
The Federal Reserve is one of the main driving forces for rates changes on checking and money market accounts. With the Federal Reserve increasing the benchmark federal funds rate a quarter-point, I anticipate checking and money market account rates to show some movement in the coming weeks.
Randy Rosen
I was not only disappointed with the initial determination of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but also surprised. The evidence has been mounting that the Florida scrub jay population has been declining at a rapid rate.
Mary Sphar
It certainly has not been adoption at the rate that some companies in the industry, some of the early entrants among the broadband providers, were expecting.
Joe Laszlo
The unemployment rate in each shire continues to fall, which is very good news for Paterson and regional areas.
Bob Baldwin
The Bush rate hike would have a devastating impact on our economy and jobs. I will not rest until the administration's plan is dead and gone.
Maria Cantwell
Normally, it doesn't influence immediately the assessment. For industrial companies, the impact normally is rather delayed. They don't look so much at the interest rate.
Gernot Nerb
I have never seen an automotive technology with that fast an adoption rate.
Barry Engle
He's still scoring at an incredible rate. Now he's also getting assists, which is making his game more well-rounded and better.
Dave Gryder
It's a fairly robust auction. The 46-odd percent is significantly more robust than average participation rate for last three three-year note auctions. Clearly, this continues to indicate there is fairly good overseas investor participation.
Gemma Wright
Investors are being asked to own a stock on more and more faith. There is a lack of clarity about the company's growth rate and a lack of vision on where they are going.
Angela Kohler
We are afraid the outbreak is out of control. Cholera was already spreading at a very fast rate. Yesterday it started raining, which will only make it more difficult to stop the epidemic.
Richard Veerman
I think [the homicide rate] will become the major issue over the next few months. I hope I'm wrong.
Peter Scharf
It's hard to say where our homicide rate went last year. Without the Katrina factor it would have been down.
Vance Mitchell
The market will take a fine line today but banks and property counters are going to weaken because of the interest rate rise.
Dennis Leung
It would be a good opportunity to signal a change in interest rate policy. This is a country with single-digit inflation and an interest rate of 20 percent. It's ridiculous.
Jerome Booth
Women appear to be progressing to AIDS at the same rate as men do, ... But it is at half the viral load the men have.
Thomas Quinn
What you'll probably see is things like lines of credit move up a bit, variable rate mortgage rates will move up as well.
Linda Sims
His number one objective will be to stress continuity. Continuity means more interest rate increases, so that means the dollar can keep going up.
Derek Halpenny
No species can survive such a high mortality rate. It is more difficult for an already endangered species.
Biswajit Mohanty
If the economy recovers quickly, the 10-year rate could be 5.2 percent even earlier than what they're projecting, and it could be 6 percent in the coming years.
Rajeev Dhawan
If this team comes along at a normal rate and does the things that they're capable of doing, then we'll be a factor. There's a lot of good baseball teams this year. I'm real excited to see how it goes.
Brian Whitaker
The decline in the core rate is very good news; it confirms that inflation continues to remain subdued, ... It shows that prices outside of energy are actually falling, which is great news for the Federal Reserve.
Maria Fiorini Ramirez
Few people thought that he would be that explicit. We're getting closer to the end of the Fed interest-rate hikes.
Frederic Dickson
The area around Scott City is beginning to experience what the rest of the region is going to experience if we continue to pump the way we do. If they keep going at the rate they are, it's not a sustainable lifestyle. Something has to give.
Rex Buchanan
Our last pick-up on Saturday is 4:30 p.m., so anything deposited after that time will need to have the new rate of 39 cents on it because it won't be picked up until Monday.
Lester Cogollow
We want the clear facts to be reported that we, according to the FBI, have a lower violent crime rate than Atlanta, or Houston, or Dallas, or Miami or San Antonio. To some extent, the perception that's been created is much greater than the reality.
Mark Morial
The expectation is that, over time, interest checking and money market rates will continue to increase, especially if the Federal Reserve makes more rate increases.
Randy Rosen
It was all energy prices, so I wouldn't make too much of the soft rise in the core (rate).
Ram Bhagavatula
I'm not really surprised about the ranking. How good is it here? It's so good that we have a higher inflation rate than the nation.
Paul Brewbaker
If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
Tom Watson
The data show that the kill since this started has been about 1.3 million birds. What we think that means is that the population should be declining, but at a slower rate than projected.
Bruce Batt
We've had some uncertainty on the interest rate front for some time and it was more or less confirmed this morning with the PPI report.
Lisa Cullen
They have a great coaching staff and their 98 percent graduation rate really convinced me.
Andrew Walls
Maintaining the current efficient production rate of 15 per year will allow Boeing ( BA ) to continue these same economics.
Dave Bowman
The rate cut was positive, but maybe a little conservative, so the market took some profits after initial gains.
Carlos Hokama
We would argue Japan is still attractive even though its PE is high because of the growth rate of the E.
Kathy Matsui
They can, in fact, expand the industry as they bring on new capacity. And that's partially a function of the miniscule penetration rate so far in the North American travel or tourist market.
James Winchester
Our ratings are supposed to look through very near-term events, and most banks we rate with exposure to the area are well enough diversified.
Rodrigo Quintanilla
Obviously, the $10 million is going to help a great deal. We are certainly hearing from many, many more rate payers than we did last year. The number of inquiries we are getting with respect to people needing some assistance … we're certainly a lot busier than we were at this time last year.
Andrew Melnykovych
Our position on rate regulation hasn't changed -- we don't believe the market needs government regulation. It's a competitive market, it self-regulates, and it's really not necessary.
Cliff Cisco
In our industry, more borrowing means we are making more money and growing, ... Our business is simple: We borrow money from banks at approximately 7 percent and loan that money out to our customers at a much higher rate. So our bank debt only goes up when consumer demand for our loans goes up.
Dave Davis
I see a 60 percent chance of a rate increase in the fourth quarter of this year and a 40 percent chance in the third. Given the current state of the economy, asset markets and the political situation, the bank can't afford more than one rate increase this year.
Teizo Taya
Competitors are growing, not very much, at low single digits in this last quarter. But we'd like to see them (Open Text) keep up to that growth rate. Key to the growth is leveraging the partners.
Tom Liston
In the end, the cost of this study may be insignificant to the increase in revenue that the rate changes will bring.
Glenn Thomas
Using a higher rate can reduce the problem, but not always.
Jeff Stachler
There are continued expectations of more Fed rate increases, whereas with other central banks we may only see a one- off move here and there. The reasons to be in the dollar outweigh any other currency.
Tim Mazanec
Any additional rate increases would need to be precipitated by higher inflation or above-trend growth.
Amitabh Arora
The good news is that this is much more moderate than we had seen in September and August and it brings the annual inflation rate down to 4.3 percent.
Patrick Fearon
But even at this rate, we're growing faster than the market and anticipate continuing to do so. Revenue management is really the watchword for us at this point.
Mike Glenn
Competition is the final price determinant and competitive prices may result in profits which force you to accept a rate of return less than you hoped for, or for that matter to accept temporary losses.
Alfred P. Sloan
An interest rate increase will change consumers' decisions to buy homes and stocks. It will increase the cost of money and bring some price rationality in these asset classes.
Sandeep Bagla
Some market participants are expecting no rate increase unless CPI increases to 1 percent, but if Mizuno suggests the BOJ can hike rates before, it could be a selling factor for bonds.
Tatsuo Ichikawa
The market is still growing. But the growth rate in 2005 moderated a little bit from the previous year's growth.
Masahiro Kawai
There are people who want to buy health insurance and can't do it. They're willing to pay for it. They're willing to pay a little more (than the standard rate).
Bruce Abbe
Since carriage in the nose is the first step in causing disease, the increased rate of carriage suggests more frequent occurrence of the disease. Indeed, active and passive smoking are associated with increased rate of respiratory infectious diseases.
David Greenberg
For the Reserve Bank, this is likely to significantly dampen any thoughts of rate increases going forward. With higher oil prices and a weakening housing market, employment growth should be much more moderate ahead.
Michael Every
Against this background firms are cutting back on their investment plans and expect the rate of job losses to increase.
John Cridland
Analysts are expecting that next quarter's growth-rate will double, and that's based fundamentally on the really solid performance of our core businesses, ... Our Internet growth is taking off. Our Internet businesses grew 2.6 times this quarter, so the growth is in fact spectacular for us in our key businesses.
Scott Cook
As long as concerns over possible interest rate rises are out there, the dollar is likely to be pressured by the unwinding of yen-carry trade positions.
Yasuhisa Ishida
If the job data is stronger than expected, people will expect a longer rising trend in interest rate.
Louis Wong
They've set the groundwork for a rate rise in October. They've been disappointed by how persistently high inflation is and how the economy just hasn't cooled off in a way they would've liked it to.
Stephen Koukoulas
The market's reaction is a testament to how effective the Fed's strategy has been in telegraphing its interest-rate moves.
Vincent Boberski
I believe (the report) indicates that 4.5%-5.0% gross domestic product growth rate forecasts look too high, and it makes it harder to justify support for $60 oil.
Neil Mcmahon
If the exchange rate pushes inflation expectations permanently higher, the Reserve Bank will have a tough job on its hands. The market is premature in pricing a near-term easing by the central bank.
Stephen Toplis
There's a little more drift to the downside over the next couple of days. We'll probably trade in a range downward unless there is something to indicate no [Federal Reserve] rate hike.
Paul Diamond
All we lack is a first rate Barnett Newman.
Louis Grachos
But the language in the Fed comments and in Greenspan's speeches of late has been pointing to rate hikes becoming more aggressive, ... The word 'measured' is going to be dropped soon, maybe at this meeting, maybe at the next.
Timothy Ghriskey
We think the bank has left the door open for a pause in October, but a rate hike would follow in December. That would take the overnight rate to three per cent by year's end.
Carl Gomez
Any surprises in the January CPI data from Bavaria and Brandenburg will clearly influence short-term rate expectations, with anything higher than expected likely to boost the euro.
Marc Ostwald
Each player is rated on points and most ratings are based on games that last two or three hours. The average chess player is rated between 1400 and 1500; a master player is rated well over 2200. If your rate is going up, you're playing better chess.
Joe Lawlor
No Tax members believe the most viable and responsible method for increasing income to the county is by increasing the tax base and not the tax rate.
