Utilities are always rather dependent on interest-rate developments as a proxy to bonds.

Stephan Wulf

Technology is a tool, but it's only a tool. The personnel has to be adequate and the policy objectives appropriate. I would rather see better policy and less technology.

Mark Krikorian

Seniors are attracted to the simplicity of the storefronts, ... They would rather speak one-on-one with a person.

Scott Phillips

Their first instinct should be to answer questions about our security rather than launch a public relations offensive, and when that fails do what they should've done from day one.

David Wade

We're always looking at opportunities, but we certainly hope it will be sooner rather than later.

Ian Telfer

I can see a point in the near future where we might have to tear up the blueprint. We may have to start a completely new chart system, rather than trying to bolt things onto the one which already exists.

Simon Wheeler

The adult relation to books is one of absorbing rather than being absorbed.

Anthony Burgess

It's a proactive management program that will help protect the integrity of the wastewater treatment system and avoid future capacity issues. It places the cost of fixing the problem on those who are experiencing it, rather than the entire region, and helps keep the overall cost to a minimum.

Jason Willett

[Pillsbury was quick to note the overall plan isn't an attempt to position the tournament as a major championship but rather a necessary step to] elevate the entire experience ... It's the right thing to do, and it's the right time to do it.

Bob Combs

I would rather lose in a cause that I know some day will triumph than to triumph in a cause that I know some day will fail.

Wendell L. Willkie

Rather than rush through with the inspection, to get the planes up right away faster, that they should take their time carefully.

Andrew Kluger

Knowing who will want to rent your vacation home and then buying based on their demands, rather than just your own family's demands, will make it much easier in the long haul when you want to rent that property out.

Christine Karpinski

Philip Morris does not understand why, either as a matter of law or practice, the European Commission has chosen to address this issue in a U.S. court rather than through regulatory and cooperative actions within the framework of the European Union.

David Davies

I did take the ranking into account as a helpful guide rather than something I put an extreme emphasis on.

Adam Schneider

The scenes have been pinpointed to within a 24-km radius of where Hitler was stationed in France during the war. He wasn't a great artist but the interest is the man rather than the paintings.

Brian Morris

He typifies the kind of kids I've been coaching, someone who's a worker rather than someone who's gifted.

Bob Hurley

They have decided to make their business profitable rather than being a cost to the company. The idea is to change the mentality of the mechanic group to become a revenue generating business unit.

Athar Khan

It's an odd arrangement of competition and cooperation, ... Because [the joint venture] is Netscape branded, they're hoping to build the Netscape brand rather than the Excite brand.

Andrea Williams

I'd much rather hit. I hated pitching, ... When you have my dad's name on your back, it's like wearing a bull's-eye. It's smaller if you're not on the mound.

Koby Clemens

The risk is that the deficit is rather worse than the market is looking for and if that's the case it may swing the focus back to structural dollar negatives and away from the interest rate focus.

Adam Cole

It's just great to win a ball game after our many games of frustration. Our kids made some great defensive plays. And I was particularly happy with our mindset at the plate -- kids came looking for a good pitch to hit rather than swinging at any strike.

Lem Elway

Many girls would rather go with friends. They want to be able to dance with whomever they want to. They don't want to have to deal with a date getting jealous or have to worry about anything serious happening afterwards. They just don't want any commitment.

Casey Smith

When she gets to the world championships, psychologically she'll feel more assured. She looked rather nervous today because it was her first time.

Lu Shanzhen

It's slightly better than expected. Returns on the existing business are good ... But value added by new business doesn't look so good. There was rather much of a drop.

Rene Locher

This would be a distortion of their meaning, since the pictures are intimate and intense, and are the opposite of what is decorative; and have been painted in a scale of normal living rather than an institutional scale.

Mark Rothko

We're not nervous. We're excited. We would rather be playing for first, but we still have a chance for second, so we're ready for this one.

Ahmet Gueye

When students arrive they often are lined up to come in and get a pop or two for breakfast. I'd rather see that stop.

Jeff Hess

We are hopeful that we will be able to resolve this matter through a negotiated consent decree rather than through costly and protracted litigation ... (but) we are prepared to file a complaint if the matter is not resolved expeditiously.

Wan J. Kim

We had a few bumps and niggles and we decided the guys should rather do just a conditioning session, but there is nothing too serious on that front to worry about.

Tommy Smook

I would rather see the United States respected than loved by other nations.

Henry Cabot Lodge

The corporation has decided that advertising is the best way to capitalize, rather than charging for access.

David Moody

I've always said the first quarter is the least important quarter. You've got to play 32 minutes. You can't let those things bother you. I'm much happier that happened in the first 4 minutes rather than the last 4 minutes.

Tom Beach

With the increased growth occurring in the township, it stands to reason that we will need more sheriff presence, rather than less. It would be much more expensive for us to maintain our own police department.

Ann Ulrich

To publish (the cartoons).. would be a publicity seeking stunt that is gratuitously offensive and ultimately rather juvenile.

The Independent

A lot of what we are hearing tonight are options, and we can do without them. I'd rather see the money go towards academics.

Dave Neal

It's a compliment to the U.S. banking system that, whatever the purpose, people would rather have their money in U.S. banks than anywhere else. If you had a horrible banking system, then these issues wouldn't happen.

Thomas Johnson

Before, if we were doing 'punt,' there were some guys on the sidelines not doing anything. Now, everybody is doing something. . . . There might be quarterbacks out there rushing the punter rather than sitting by themselves not doing anything.

Darian Hagan

It was a rather lackadaisical charge. I was clinging to the truck and shooting at the same time.

Rob Mullen

I'd rather walk than drive a car. In Vancouver, where I am from, you can get to just about anywhere you need to go on foot. Even if it's raining I'll go out for a stroll. I just love that.

Kristin Kreuk

Rather than providing due process, the government has chosen a forum in which they can deny the defendant his constitutional rights, not the least of which is right to counsel.

Mark Berman

Sony should concentrate on games, movies and music and software businesses rather than hardware businesses. I'm not quite sure about their concentrating on flat-panel TVs because this is a very competitive market.

Yuuki Sakurai

The thing I'd like for us to work on is getting better quality shots. I'd rather us get fewer shots that go in than to take more shots that don't. I'd rather have quality than quantity.

Rick Woodard

The changes to make Linux accessible on the desktop will be in the user interfaces of things like Gnome (Gnu Network Object Model Environment) and KDE (K Desktop Environment), rather than in anything we do.

Lance Davis

You should get more out of the landfill rather than less. The county could get $1 million over a 5-year contract.

Barry Adams

I would rather be in second. It's a much more enviable position because you can put it on the line and try different things. You don't want to get yourself in a position where you're trying not to lose.

Rich Gordon

We do license products very selectively. In the past, we've declined to license such products. We would rather be out there riding the products down the road.

Bob Klein

German manufacturers have rather good support from the orders side. In addition, they reduced their debt and financing conditions have improved.

Juergen Michels

Right now, Israelis want a security process rather than a peace process.

Dore Gold

It's much better to find it when the problem is small rather than to wait until it has spread.

Keith Esplin

Relative to most of the country, it's still rather mild, but when people book Florida vacations, they're not expecting temperatures in the 40s.

Robert Molleda

If we attempted to place sand on the beach now, it would be washed out rather quickly.

Joe Nolin

This is a system driven by political image rather than genuine safeguards.

Tony Burke

We're quite heavy on opening the sport up, and an event like this brings a completely new audience to golf. People like Jodie Kidd just have a different appeal, rather than the Wales Open which is more the golfing market.

John Phelps

The Fed is concerned that higher energy costs may give an adverse impact on growth rather than posing a risk to faster inflation. Producer prices also showed latent inflationary pressure eased.

Hidehiko Maejima

It is yet one more example of how extremist groups in various parts of the world are attempting to gain political benefits through drawing attention to their rather misguided causes through the killing of innocent people.

Paul Gardner

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.

Miranda Richardson

Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning.

John Henry Cardinal Newman

Some companies went public too early and had to face the scrutiny of the world. They had to immediately worry about quarterly numbers rather than building the business.

Andy Weissman

You have to file a form 95 as the first step in a lawsuit. Rather than file the complaint in federal court, it's required that you file the form 95, which states the essence of the claim.

Jeff Weber

The real demand source is China, rather than Europe, but the country is rapidly alleviating its raw materials input problems.

Jon Bergtheil

The water here is so precious and so valuable that we're willing to provide those incentives rather than import water from hundreds of miles away.

Bill Jacoby

If they want the conservatives to play on their team, they have to treat them like members of the team rather than outsiders.

David Keene

Most screenplays, when you read them, they're rather forgettable affairs. This one stuck with me. It kind of grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go.

Michael Caldwell

This may be an issue of an inferior control arm rather than a superior trial arm. The single most active class of agents in breast cancer is absent in both treatments.

Larry Norton

We would have rather had a fire like that and know that nothing was burnt or damaged. We didn't feel bad about it at all.

Larry Mullen

The recent data out of U.S. have pointed to some slowdown in growth and that's helping ease concerns about further interest rate increase in the U.S. I'm more focused on the positive element of an end to U.S. rate increases rather than the slowdown.

Nobuyoshi Tsumori

It's not quite as easy to sell the business and head to Florida. There's a lot to it. There's a lot of people who would rather start their own than buy into another business. It's not like buying a home. It's like you're buying a career.

Douglas Boyce

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

Max Planck

That's because you didn't choose to work with us. You chose to attack us out of the chute. We don't trust you. We'd rather sit with someone we trust, at least to frame the dialogue. You have to earn our trust.

Wayne Shammel

The reality is we have to put forth the best system that we can with rather limited resources. This is the CFL, not the [National Football League].

Ted Hellard

I would have rather lost then than now. We lost to (fellow sectional finalist) Carmel by five in the regular season also.

Beth Marshall

We kept trying to show throughout the film that it is always better to deal with evil if you are confronting evil rather than trying to pacify evil.

Tim Watkins

He's not a hermit, and he doesn't hide behind trees or anything, He's been rather active in the community. The largest charity fundraiser in South Florida is the Naples Winter Wine Festival. He's a director of that.

Phil Lewis

Bloomberg cooks the books, cherry-picking statistics of certain groups rather than offering the whole, unacceptable picture.

Christy Setzer

This mixes patriotism, heroism and sex appeal. That covers a lot of bases. Of course some ladies would rather be a sexy Statue of Liberty.

John Majdoch

I give their guy credit. If you can't hit, you don't deserve to be here. I've got a bunch of seniors who are playing their last game, and they've done it three years in a row. I tell you — I'd rather lose by 10 than get beat by one three years in a row.

Chris Houston

We should be trying to make medical services more male-friendly rather than just blaming the men.

John A. Macdonald

You concentrate on the fact you gave them a quality, happy life. Rather than putting all the emphasis on the death, you focus on the living part. It?s actually a happy ending not depressing.

Anne Solli

The White House is trying to wrestle back control of the agenda. He's got to proactively make news rather than just react.

Glen Bolger

It's a different type of presentation rather than a full-blown musical. It requires totally different technical needs.

Veronica Corpuz

The world's literature and folklore are full of stories that point out how futile it can be to seek happiness. Rather, happiness is a blessing that comes to you as you go along; a treasure that you incidentally find.

Louis Binstock

This is a peanut butter approach - you spread it across everything and see what sticks, rather than seeing what particular contracts require it.

Alan Chvotkin

We might find a large number of people in the rather ridiculous position of taking what we call pro-cholinergic medication to counteract anti-cholinergic drugs they are already taking.

Karen Ritchie

As I never tire of saying, heat is not the antithesis of light but rather the source of it.

Christopher Hitchens

That was something we questioned the guys about ourselves. It seemed like we were going through the motions rather than playing ball like we're capable of. Certainly we showed a lot more life in the second game.

Paul Giemza

It actually makes money for me rather than costs me. It's nice. It covers the cost of traveling.

Jeret Peterson

Had he called for a ruling, we would have had him go back to where his original ball was and replace it with a two-stroke penalty for moving a ball in play. It gets complicated. He obviously would have made a rather large score on the hole.

Tom Wallin

There will be no silver bullet. Rather it will be a combination of technologies.

Andrew Gould

We do not want to drop your child off at the wrong spot on the wrong day. And with the number of notes we're getting, it's going to happen. We'd rather be proactive rather than reactive.

Marlene Theel

The results were actually rather meager, ... and yet all the powers put enormous resources into intelligence in the Far East.

Bernard Wasserstein

On the whole, it was a good performance. Bush is always better off when people are seeing him, rather than reading what Democrats have to say about him in newspapers, or hearing what Democrats think about him on network news.

John Hinderaker

The poll gives immigrants the first chance to participate in the debate rather than be targets of the debate. The country's top dozen ethnic media dailies -- along with the major in-language broadcast network -- published the results simultaneously on Monday, Mar. 27 in a coordinated effort to ensure that these key voices are part of the national discourse.

Sandy Close

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, sinners are much more fun.

Billy Joel

It does again reinforce the concern that Nokia does very well at the end of the market, but is still rather struggling in the more highly priced segments.

Mark Davies

I'll take that. We had guys get on base rather than just striking out. We just couldn't get the timely hitting we have been getting.

John Burrus

Visionary people face the same problems everyone else faces; but rather than get paralyzed by their problems, visionaries immediately commit themselves to finding a solution.

Bill Hybels

Rather than cramming solutions down the system's throat, we believe voluntary initiatives with a degree of consensus have a better chance of being implemented.

David Sandman

What this market is going to need is for the Fed's next (interest rate) move to be down rather than up.

John Forelli

These are people with real power. We need to celebrate the fact that these people are where they are rather than make personal attacks against them as if they're slaves. We should always want to be in positions of power, no matter who the president is.

Armstrong Williams

It's the same draw I got last year. I would have rather wrestled someone else.

Tyler Riccio

I would rather be the candidate of the NAACP than the NRA.

John Kerry

On the face of it, this sounds like a positive piece of news for Cairn, however, we think ONGC are most likely to look to a acquire an additional stake in Cairns 70 per cent owned Rajasthan block, rather than a full blown corporate move.

Merrill Lynch

I believe if we want to go into the World Cup we've got to find a loose forward who's six foot four (1.93m) and can jump and also do all the things that our current crop have got, so it would be nice to find one of them so we can have a lineout that has three bullets rather than two.

Steve Hansen

It?s better to get it done now rather than have take two, three games off at a time, stay injured and then find they have to pull the plug on me in January and I?d miss the playoffs.

Turner Stevenson

It's going to be much harder for the Fed to talk rates down after what's gone on lately. At this stage it's really going to require action rather than talk.

Mike Cloherty

Before 1990, orange had a rather abrasive image. But it's a wonderful color to connect with the environment. It can be extremely sophisticated. It's a pivotal color. Warm colors complement it; cools look wonderful. There is much to recommend it.

Margaret Walch

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.

Celia Chen

Critics have their purposes, and they're supposed to do what they do, but sometimes they get a little carried away with what they think someone should have done, rather than concerning themselves with what they did.

Duke Ellington

I would say 70 percent of the tires I see are under-inflated. They should be inflated on the higher end rather than the lower end.

Don Culpepper

It was rather easy to select this year's recipient.

Steve Allaband

There is a difference between transparency and clarity. You can put everything out there and have a full airing of different opinions. But sometimes there is too much emphasis on the Fed's deliberations rather than its conclusions and that confuses things.

David Kelly

There is no other club I would rather take into the All-Ireland competition. We will be well up for it.

Stephen Kenny

Rather than meeting the chef, we heard more from the CFO and even had a review of the financials.

Lauren Fine

Hospitals need to break out logistics costs from the total cost of goods. Rather than have product just show up at the door, they can manage inbound freight, anticipate deliveries, and have visibility into what's coming.

John Walko

Rather, it is through conciliation and compromise that we are building a fair Iraq, a just state for all its peoples.

Jalal Talabani

Rather than push it, hopefully he'll be back at some point at the end of the year. This injury happened to him a couple of years ago [in Chicago] and it took a long time to heal. We're going to give him that time.

Jim Beattie

What we are trying to do is meld these folks back into a community, rather than putting them in a big pen.

Andrew Hudson

Giving [contracts] to a buddy rather then the best person is what makes it illegal.

William Schroeder

Rather than engage in a practice that people could view as being deceptive, we'd rather not.

Lynn Marmer

I'd rather start early and get out early.

Cherrelle Denwiddie

I'd rather be remembered as the team that held her back maybe a game or two.

Melanie Balcomb

I've got to sit back and let plays come to me, ... rather than thinking I've got to make a play. Because if I'm anxious to make then I might slip up and try to break on stuff too fast.

Carlos Rogers

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

Kurt Cobain

Perhaps they would rather leave such things to chance.

Dr. Tarun Jain

Rather than being an interpreter, the scientist who embraces a new paradigm is like the man wearing inverting lenses.

Thomas Kuhn

We do share the same disappointment, but we would rather go forward. The damage has already been done and there's not much we can do.

Francis Lim

He was too proud. He'd rather his kids wore rags than take charity.

Karen Aghelescu

I knew it could go either way. It's very nice to win this, but I'd rather be out there playing for a state championship.

Willie Kemp

TVE have decided this year to keep strictly to the agreements made, rather than being flexible, which has meant less prime time coverage.

Ignacio Ayuso

The drought is already here. This is our warning that without immediate help...there will be deaths. We are still assessing the situation rather than making emergency interventions. We have to move quickly.

Abdullahi Ali Haji

This was a rather standard procedure for the defendant to buy gifts and to do things for the mothers in those cases to keep them preoccupied so the defendant would have free rein with the child involved.

Tom Sneddon

I would rather be an opportunist and float than go to the bottom with my principles around my neck.

Stanley Baldwin

The absence of bad news is one trigger for the rather good performance at the moment, but there is virtually no liquidity.

Juergen Lukasser

We're all pleased to put the compliance question behind us. Rather than allow the controversy to continue, we're offering options to resolve the dispute.

Bob Herbold

In listening to the marketplace, it's obvious that we need to move more students toward completion. And we need to do it sooner rather than later.

Stephen Tocco

The battle against terrorism today is against a violent ideology rather than a well-organized, top-down group. It's just a matter of time before we get someone — an immigrant or someone American-born — who commits a higher-intensity act of terrorism.

Brian Levin

It took Santorum more than a week to dig up some year-old obscure quote that blames our military rather than challenging the administration's conduct of this war.

Jay Reiff

It's about appreciating the quality of our architecture. It's an asset that I want to be nurtured and strengthened rather than changed.

James Snyder

I'd like to think the guys feel like they have something to prove. Each and every game we play has a lot at stake, but it's been like that for a few weeks. Rather than us getting used to it, I would like to think it has grown on us and that we're enjoying the challenge.

Mike Jaskulski

We have conceived Games which are not wasteful or disproportionate, but rather games based on efficiency and values.

Bertrand Delanoe

A putt cannot go in the hole if it's short. I'd rather face a four-footer coming back than leave the ball on the front lip.

Tom Watson

Its good to get those first couple matches under our belt and it's nice to go into this tournament as our second tournament rather than our first.

Neil Kenner

I like TV ? I don't love TV. I would rather be the action, not reporting the action.

Paul Azinger

This is a very critical issue and it's disappointing that Oracle hasn't fixed it, especially since the workaround is rather simple.

David Litchfield

Rather be dead than cool.

Kurt Cobain

This campaign aims to highlight the consequences of making excuses rather than trying to quit.

Glenn Mitchell

This capability is configurable by end users, so that they can choose what is important for them to see. This may consist of reminders rather than the full dashboard because they don't want to expose the company's raw financial numbers to the vagaries of the e-mail infrastructure on the Internet.

Craig Sullivan

Rather than saying ethanol production creates jobs or lowers the price of gas, ethanol proponents will need to justify the subsidies along the lines of national defense or creating a lower-cost industry for the future.

David Bullock

Clearly John is observing, but rather than observation of nature, his world is personal, pondering and deliberating the world around him.

Russell Panczenko

We will be selling less stuff but making better profits. Think Armani rather than Top Shop.

John Pluthero

Organized religion is making Christianity political rather than making politics Christian.

Laurens Van der Post

Rather than distance ourselves from the past, as the centrist amnesiacs would counsel, perhaps we should finally peel back the scabs and take a closer look at why all the wounds haven't healed.

Tom Hayden

The commission lacked the necessary statutory authority to respond more robustly with meaningful civil penalties and express anti-manipulation authority. The commission played a weak hand rather well, in my opinion.

Joseph Kelliher

This year we'll be the target, rather than the underdog.

Pete Watkins

I'd rather be part of a Bluffton 'state of mind' and not a reality.

Lance Mumford

Anger has overpowered him, and driven him to a revenge which was rather a stupid one, I must acknowledge, but anger makes us all stupid.

Johanna Spyri

I'd rather be contributing to my 401(k) than tapping into it. But you feel better being an active member of society.

Neil Mcdermott

The Irish have to sort out their own concerns rather than fire bullets at us.

Clive Griffiths

Sometimes key interviews would rather be seen on TV than in a newspaper the next day.

Susan Page

Our concern is that because the IFF is a way of borrowing money from international financial markets, in years to come we're going to end up using aid money to pay off the interest to financiers rather than helping the poor.

Peter Hardstaff

Philadelphia is unique, in that case. Nationally, what is happening is less emphasis on social-studies courses rather than more.

Peggy Altoff

I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.

Jacques Cousteau

Love is a choice -- not simply, or necessarily, a rational choice, but rather a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guile.

Carter Heyward

Porsche told us that they were going to invest back into the company rather than pay higher dividends. Now they're investing in one of the least profitable car companies in Europe.

Arndt Ellinghorst

CBS news anchor Dan Rather has interviewed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. When asked what it was like to talk to a crazy man, Saddam said, 'It's not so bad.'

Conan O'brien

We are left with a low-profile bunch of authors. This is an average rather than an extraordinary year.

Graham Sharpe

To manage, rather than be managed by the market, health plan executives need to be proactive. They need to look now at the issues likely to face the industry this year.

Jim Henry

After six or seven performances of any song, you begin to perform it rather than feel it.

Graham Nash

Rather like a car coming towards you. I knew I had to do it sometime. And it seemed like a natural progression from the other people I'd done.

Peter Ackroyd

CAFE is a counter-market regulatory scheme and it needs to be seriously reevaluated, ... We firmly believe that it's new technology that will get us to better emissions, lower consumption, rather than legislative mandates.

Brian Wallace

The pace of this film is rather slow, I wanted to express the characters' inner world more than just tell what is happening in an objective environment.

Peter Kam

If it comes to that, that news will travel rather quickly.

Dan Scott

February has a chance to see colder weather more in line with December rather than this incredibly warm month of January.

Matt Rogers

Americans are more concerned about the sacred deadlines rather than the contents of the constitution.

Saleh Al mutlaq

Honolulu has rather small numbers when you consider millions of passengers leave or come into Honolulu every year. One is certainly too many, but if we're going to have a number, I'd rather have it be a low number than something that's monumental.

Nico Melendez

Many workers who are closer to retirement can be tempted to consume rather than save.

Lori Lucas

For far too long UK schools have had a lop-sided curriculum in which the accent has been on academic intelligence rather than emotional intelligence.

Anthony Seldon

Rather than just paying for overhead, which is all that is allowable under Texas law, overhead, 'Your support will fund a series of productive and innovative activities,' ... And they go on to list four activities, all of which are really defined as political activities under Texas laws.

Craig Mcdonald

If it really is going on now, we'll hear more, rather than less, about it later.

Tony Crescenzi

We'd rather it be here than at the Olympics. So in that respect, it's good.

Tanith Belbin

The glittering structure of her cultivation sits on her novels like a rather showy icing that detracts from the cake beneath.

Louis Auchincloss

This year, we finished third in the league and we weren't happy about that. But I think that made us a little looser and that just allowed us to come out and play to win rather than not to lose.

Brendan Winters

We'd rather see reductions be made through a process like this than any kind of confrontational process.

Dan Considine

The critical thing they delivered on is what people, including analysts, were expecting. They have begun the Intel transition sooner rather than later.

Charlie Wolf

I have no evidence... that the country is ready for Oprah-in-chief rather than a commander-in-chief.

Kellyanne Conway

I would rather see some good old-fashioned mud than another 24 inches of asphalt.

Commissioner Finn Caspersen

I was surprised that such a prominent member of the NCC would support a group of independents rather than support a policy approach, which is what the NCC has done in the past, ... Generally, the NCC [is] very balanced and fair.

Anne Kelly

It's easier to digest when you look at it from a bigger picture and you put all of us together rather than when we individually come up.

Carolyn Boltin

This history of the Pledge of Allegiance illustrates that the phrase 'under God' is a permissible acknowledgement rather than an establishment of religion. If the Pledge established or tended to establish a religion, then that would have happened during the past 50 years of its existence.

Mathew Staver

There was an e-mail that he sent to another woman. It was a bizarre e-mail, talking about talking to people in heaven and some other things that I'd rather not get into.

Carl Brizzi

Most organized sports-related injuries (about 62 percent) occur during practices rather than games.

Sarah Cox

I would prefer history tell itself, rather than have Hollywood tell it. There's so much we just don't know. Unfortunately, they're taking artistic license with history and people will believe it's accurate. Speculation is okay for drama, but it's less okay when it's purporting to tell history. If they didn't know, why didn't they just leave it out?

Carie Lemack

I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.

Alexander The Great

Prices are fluctuating wildly at the wholesale level, and in some cases it's not a question of what the marketer is going to pay, but rather they are concerned about whether they can get gasoline and diesel at all.

Greg Scott

I think that's something rather amazing.

Mary Groskloss

Threats and unilateralism will be futile and rather make the situation more difficult for negotiators of both sides.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

He works every day to take America in a new direction, and is willing to take gutsy and sometimes controversial stands in his fight for change ... rather than following polls.

Sharyn Stein

The travesty is it's going to make things worse -- rather than better -- for recovery.

Patti Goldman

It's very exciting. If feels like this contract is about hope for the future, rather than the status quo.

Julie Schnell

Because this exploits particular programs on Windows, rather than Windows itself, your machine can get infected simply by visiting a Web site that's set up to exploit the flaw.

Patrick Hinojosa
