I have made this letter long because i have not the time to make it shorter.
Blaise Pascal
The total number of hours worked in the private sector by production labor declined even though there were more of those jobs. That tells me that we're seeing a shift not just away from manufacturing jobs but toward jobs with shorter hours.
Charles Mcmillion
Honestly, it is a matter of what the students want. Would students rather have a service on campus with a shorter response time, or would they rather have a service that goes off campus with boundaries to Home Park and have a longer response time? Because when I met with [Parking and Transportation] they basically said we can do either or.
David Andersen
On the defensive end we really have to pick it up. Waverly is pretty big and we had to match up with their size. I believe Meredith did a good job of playing Rachel Sheppard despite being a couple of inches shorter. It was a good team effort defensively.
Chris Garvin
I like the fact that it rewards someone who hits it straight, ... It doesn't reward the longer hitters any more than the shorter hitters.
David Mckenzie
Most people don't know what to expect with the controls. It flies basically like a real airplane just with a shorter stick.
Art Williams
It's not as drastic a change as it may sound. We would have a super block from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. that would include, band, choir, and everybody would have a 25-minute lunch period. The band and choir time becomes a little bit shorter, but it would also allow us to have two lunch periods which would allow us to get students in and out more quickly and efficiently.
Monte Nipp
The race against time is shorter and shorter as weather closes in.
Kevin Kennedy
I think those books do have the same feeling as the big movies. You know you're going to get lost in this world. A shorter book can't quite do that.
Jonathan Burnham
Long-term mortgage rates will more than likely rise over the next few months, albeit modestly compared to shorter-term rates.
Frank Nothaft
Everybody got on at 9 and that jammed up the system, and same thing with the phones. The longer we've been going, the better it's getting. We're hoping the line gets shorter because so many showed up today.
Tom Collins
It is easier to get athletes to run in the shorter races. That is how we get the football players to come out.
Rey Ramirez
We expect that time would become much shorter as the sales tax grows with the city. The city expects to grow quite a bit in the coming years.
Jim Little
Rentals on Commercial Street are close to what they are on Newbury Street. But the season is a lot shorter.
Daniel Ranalli
The shorter the time until maturity, the less impact rising rates will have on bond prices.
James Stack
The school district has asked for a shorter lease and we are working with them in that direction.
Checky Herrington
It's kind of a funny thing after all these years, having the trip be so much shorter. I think it's been exceptional. The only downside is that the old lift capacity was lower, so the skier density was lower. (But) if you're a local and you know where to ski, it's pretty much the same, you just get there faster.
Larry Wise
The men have been playing for decades and the women for a much shorter time. And a lot of that time the women haven't been ignored, but they haven't been treated equally, either. Now that they are getting better funding it just isn't fair or realistic to expect women to (make money) so quickly.
Dick Baddour
The Bridge had a lot of long, soft profiles about the administration, ... In contrast, BU Today has shorter, hard pieces - more consistent with online journalism - which people can read every morning when they log on.
Craig David
If God had intended us not to masturbate he would've made our arms shorter.
George Carlin

Safa Rashtchy
The happier the moment the shorter.
Pliny the Elder
If you have a shorter torso, pair a great fitting long T-shirt with jeans to elongate the upper body or if your torso is long, wear a cropped blazer to give it a chic and sophisticated edge.
Michael Fisher
The average stay of a visitor is 3 1/2 days. There's a lot for people to do in that time, and not just gaming. There's shopping, there's fine dining, and shorter just works better.
Michael Gill
Shorter notes are difficult to buy compared with longer debt at the moment. The trend continues for a flattening curve.
Masato Fukasaku
Those medicines are all good, especially the new hypnotics. The newer medications have a shorter duration of effect, meaning the effect doesn't persist and cause problems during the day. Short-term hypnotic use -- a week or two -- is fine.
Dr. V. Mohan
I felt like if we had the ball and got it down to the last shot of the quarter and hit it, we could make it an eight-minute game. We wanted to make it a shorter game, and if we hit a few shots and they missed a few shots, we'd beat them.
Steve Mcfall
I'm shorter, I don't have as many freckles as Ron, and I can't do magic.
Rupert Grint
Look at the way that girl walks. It looks like one leg is shorter than the other one.
Marc Marchini
Most of the tissues that age ... that we're interested in -- the brain, the heart, the muscle, the kidney, etc. -- those cells never divide at all and they never replicate their nuclear DNA so their telomeres can't get shorter and, therefore, that couldn't affect their longevity.
Doug Wallace
This is the most comprehensive look at recent long-term care insurance claims data. The goal was to better understand what percentage of long-term care insurance claimants with shorter duration policies actually use-up or exhaust their policy benefits.
Jesse Slome
Rick has had to change less because he was at the front end of shorter and more selective trips from the beginning. He contains only positive recommendations. His books reflect his values about what he thinks things are worth.
Bill Newlin
The inflation data we will see this week and next will support the view the Fed can keep on hiking at the next two meetings. Yields will rise led by the shorter-maturity debt.
Hidehiko Maejima
This amounts to a total of $50 billion in new investments in high-leverage, innovation-enabling research that will underpin and complement shorter-term and mission-oriented R&D performed by other agencies and the private sector.
John Marburger
The market is readying itself for a 50-basis-point rate increase. Shorter-term issues are reflecting that, while longer-dated bonds are gaining on expectations that next week's refunding announcement will be positive.
Jeoff Hall
It's not our fault. We're sitting here waiting for the TV to get us the play. They may say, 'There's another one we may have here, hold on a second.' As time goes on, it's gonna get shorter and shorter.
Tommy Hunt
This time around, my guess is that the lead may end up being shorter than the historic average, ... I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the stock market being an almost coincident indicator.
Sung Won Sohn
Sentiment is building that the Fed may pause for a while after raising rates to 5 percent next month. That helps shorter-maturity debt, especially two-year notes.
Hidehiko Maejima
The period we benefit from releasing new models is shorter than it used to be when it lasted about a year.
Itaru Koeda
An obese animal can have a shorter life span (and a) higher incidence of cancer.
Dr. Gregory Ogilvie
Confidence in the housing market helps consumer spending. That'll be supportive for sterling and it's not going to play too well with the shorter end of the gilt curve.
Jeremy Stretch
The market is very stressed out. But now it is hoping that the Central Bank changes its stance in favor of the market to soak up some [dollar] liquidity with shorter debt notes.
Renato Lobo
I want a shorter window of notice and a lot more team testing than what our schedule allows.
Chris Patrick
The trend for firm longer bonds and weak shorter debt will continue this month. Investors feel safer buying bonds on slumping stocks.
Yoshihiro Gake
Our No. 1 goal is to win the division, and that's still probable. But we need to turn things around ASAP. There's a lot of games left. But week by week, the season is getting shorter.
Keith Newman
I expect a little more out of some of the middle distance runners in cross country. Particularly at this distance because it is a lot shorter.
Theresa Fuqua
Division by class actually ensures shorter lines.
Prescott White
Ten-year Treasuries are very close to the yield level at which we plan to buy. We prefer the 10-year notes to shorter-term Treasuries because inflation is less of a concern compared to rising interest rates.
Satoshi Asai
Whenever possible, travelers should use alternate airports, which typically experience shorter and fewer delays.
Rally Caparas
We didn't want to show it was shorter, we wanted to show it was better.
Myron Martin

Peter Guber
This route is shorter than any of the possibilities that could be used for I-3.
Roger Turner
The fact that the meaningful part of the season is now shorter and we've got a pretty good date, the leverage is certainly in our favor.
Bobby Long
On balance there has been some small increase in productivity that can probably be attributed to the (shorter) week.
Dr. John Martin
There is a disconnect between the investment we're making in discovering treatments and the result in practical treatments that are reaching patients. We think that there are scientific approaches we could be taking that would help us learn more about drugs in a shorter time and for less cost.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb
It will be a slow evolution, ... Dividends are a long-term investor's focus and for folks that are more short-term oriented it's not essential. And let's face it. A lot of tech investors tend to be shorter-term investors than average investors.
James Denney
Because most people are teased and taunted from a distance, and when they get to know a person it's like, OK, you're just like us -- but just a little shorter.
Chris Hollyfield
They like it. It is a little shorter than the national level, but it is national-like in design. They were jumping about 100 feet.
Steve Pallin
The greatest thing that ever happened to me. I got to go all over the world, never cost me a dime. He re-broke his leg, and he's about two inches shorter but he's walking better than ever... I love both those guys.
Lanny Poffo
Some go long, some are for shorter shots. You basically have driver, mid-range and putter. Within those classes there are a range of discs for stability.
Steve Kremer
Domestic tourism is under pressure from fuel prices, shorter holidays and other activities for the leisure dollar.
Peter Abbott
It's hard to tell. They're talking three or four months but it does depend a lot how it reacts to the pin. It can be a lot shorter but it can be longer than that. It's just something they judge as it goes.
Conrad Smith
The bond market has an influence on the longer term CDs [greater than 12 months], while the shorter term CDs, along with checking and money market accounts, are influenced more by the Federal Reserve.
Randy Rosen
It's difficult to buy bonds, especially five-year and shorter notes, before the growth report. The economic recovery is well under way and the market is pricing in chances for a rate increase later this year.
Hiroaki Takai
I felt better today than I did yesterday. Where my rib is pulled, he actually said it was in a good spot. Hopefully, it'll be a shorter healing process.
Russ Springer
If you are a shorter person it is important for the blazer not to look too big -- like you borrowed it from your dad.
Todd Snyder
Obviously the newcomers have a shorter period of time, they learn from the mistakes of others and so on.
Craig Addison
I'm very sorry. We inconvenienced you. Hiro-kun will make his pants shorter, so please forgive us.
Takehito Koyasu
None of our game is power. Robbie manages his game very well. [Sophomore] Bret [Perry] is very precise. We should do better on a shorter course.
Matt Baughan
We've generally become favorable of shorter-dated (agencies) inside of five years as of December. Spreads widened out, more so in the front of curve.
Jamie Jackson
Yields on bonds, especially five-year and shorter debt, will have a bias to rise. Fukui didn't necessarily deny a possible policy shift and I still see an almost 100 percent chance for an April move.
Naruki Nakamura
The (shorter) day is a change in the terms and conditions of employment and affects the teacher workday.
Rhonda Johnson
They're going to be borrowing more money at the shorter part of the yield curve. Is that going to push short-term rates higher? It's pretty fair to say that's going to happen.
Bill Hornbarger
The life cycle of toys gets shorter and shorter as kids' attention spans get shorter and shorter.
Peter Caruso
I didn't want to be on the court so long. I was hoping I would have an easier match, I mean a shorter one. Conditions were very difficult and I'm just happy to get through. The wind was really swirling around and it was difficult to play at both ends of the court.
Katarina Srebotnik
He's the size of a tight end. Just shorter and wider.
Domonique Foxworth
If it's (a certain book) not being used, that's a pretty good indicator. Fiction generally has a shorter shelf life than nonfiction, though if, for instance, we have the last copy of 'Tom Sawyer' I don't care if it hasn't been checked our for five years, we're not getting rid of it.
Willie Nelms
I'm too impatient for the mile. It just takes too long. It's four laps and I just want it to get over. I'm better with a shorter distance.
Miranda Heslep
To some people, it's as simple as a shorter ball. I can tell you from our research, it's a much more complex issue than that.
Dick Rugge
The lines are a little shorter. It could be the weather. I got here about 6 a.m., and there was no one camping overnight.
Tony Caldwell
It's not really a shorter skirt, I just have longer legs...
Anna Kournikova
Cost is one thing, but you have to be responsive to customers. It is easier to do when you are in Hungary than the Far East. The big advantage of Eastern Europe is the physical proximity to Western Europe, which means supply lines are shorter.
Ian Crawford
I think the key for us is maturity. It was a big jump for our freshman going from Pony League to high school baseball. You have a shorter distance between the bases and from the mound to home in Pony. But our young guys did carry a the load for us, or they wouldn't have been there.
Tom Graham
We try to shorten the growing season by planting some 104-105-day hybrids that help us save two weeks of irrigation. That's a savings of $10-20/acre. I'm glad seed companies are looking at developing more drought-tolerant hybrids as well as shorter-season corn.
David Ford
One of his legs was shorter than the other one. But his spine was also crooked and it drew his hip up, so it evened out just enough that he didn't walk with a limp.
Daryl Newcomb
It could very well be that this winter session is shorter than expected.
Lior Horev
The Fed has been right there to catch the economy. We may live in a riskier world, but we've entered a period of longer expansions with shorter, milder recessions.
Marshall Vest
You are going to have officers with shorter fuses.
Howard Osofsky
We're happy to agree to a shorter-term extension of the Patriot Act. The important thing is to strike the right balance between liberty and security.
Rebecca Kirszner
We tried to send a message because we heard they had a (tall) player and we were shorter than her. We had to work real hard on defense.
Fannie Goodwin
It may make the trip a little shorter and a little more interesting.
Dan Tangherlini
It's not easy to get back into the style of college fencing. You fight in more shorter bouts which are more mentally draining.
Jason Rogers
Fort Scott is so quick that when you go inside, you have to put the shot up quick. They want you to make a bounce pass inside because they are shorter than us and they can get to the ball. The match-up wasn't easy for us tonight but it wasn't easy for them either because we're taller.
Becky Carlson
Plants emit much more moisture into the atmosphere in a shorter time than does bare ground or even the lakes. Plant photosynthesis works like a jogger perspiring because the plant loses water as it makes food.
Dev Niyogi
The front pins make these holes play two clubs shorter. When you can get a 9-iron in your hand as opposed to a 7-iron, you're thinking pretty good things.
Bill Glasson
The Hispanic population in 2003 is radically different than in 1992, and many of the factors that have changed for Spanish-language immigrants make learning English more difficult. They are arriving later, staying in the U.S. for a shorter period, and fewer are speaking English at home.
Mark Schneider
Jessica`s Daisy Dukes are even shorter than Catherine Bach`s, which I honestly didn`t think was possible.
Jay Chandrasekhar
As we grow older, our bodies get shorter and our anecdotes longer.
Robert Quillen
A shorter, more political text.
Gunter Pleuger
Obviously, if you prorate it over a shorter time, the signing bonus won't be as high. But teams, players, owners and agents can all get creative.
Lecharles Bentley
Have I come out of the game making a defensive mistake? Yeah. He doesn't really discriminate. Everybody is held accountable ... He seldom pulls a guy for an offensive mistake, taking a bad shot, anything like that. The leash is shorter on the defensive end.
Jerry Stackhouse
We're going to be testing those to determine how the game would be affected by having a shorter-distance ball.
Dick Rugge
We're trying to encourage shorter, high-quality submissions in addition to the long packages we get.
Sig Gissler
We like to think our prize money is driven by market data and fairness. The situation is that the women play much shorter matches.
Tim Phillips
We've done a lot to expedite our response in these areas, and over the last six months we have approved more disaster loan dollars in a shorter time frame than in any other disaster response in the agency's history.
Hector Barreto
The skirts are shorter. In most productions of 'Earnest,' you would rarely see ankles on stage.
Kate Lowder
However, shorter deadlines may be set to meet the needs of the White House.
Cathy Milhoan
Long skirts, even for day, and above the knee still because our customer really wants above the knee ... they just like the way they feel in the shorter skirt.
Richard Tyler
As he's getting a second project that he can use for border patrol or port surveillance, in our ports or any other number of shorter missions.
John Craig
I've always liked the 50 - I never had much endurance. I was kind of a 200 free person for a while when I was 12 or 13. I did the 200 free, 200 back, 200 fly. But as I got older, I fell away from it and started doing the shorter stuff.
Greg Hulse
But if he's able to consistently wait on the ball and see it a little longer and have a shorter stroke to the ball, the strikeouts can be cut down without losing his great power.
Chris Chambliss
It was clear we needed to make everything much stronger and stiffer. Which led us to the shorter belts and greater rear support for the seat.
David Lapworth
We tend to go shorter online. [Viewers] are looking for information as opposed to being entertained by television. So we try to cut to the chase a little quicker.
Jim Sexton
(It's) really the embodiment of my big brother. He was about a foot shorter than me, and I outweigh him by 100 pounds. And he would walk up to my face and say 'I am on you man.' I'm wondering if he could kick my ass or not, but the attitude came subconsciously from that guy.
Joe Shields
Custom operators often own superior equipment and can accomplish the task in a shorter time. One problem that can occur with this method is not being able to schedule the custom operator at the best time for harvest.
David Whitson
In the shorter term where there has been some concern on those numbers there could be little bit of a relief rally.
Matt Willis
If you have a lot of time, you can do the story elements; if you have a little time, you can play with some of the shorter elements.
Mary Schuyler
They couldn't. You still have local deliveries, and deliveries on shorter trips, like between Harrisonburg and Bristol.
Laura Bullock
For about a 13 or 14 minute stretch in the first half, we played as well as we have played all season. Shorter is a very good basketball team and I was pleased with our overall performance against them this evening.
Marty Rowe
You won't see the extended flooding flooding that you did in Louisiana, ... You have larger refining capacity but out for a shorter period of time.
Mark Routt
As the cost of fuel goes up, the payback time is getting shorter and shorter. Energy-efficiency solutions are becoming more affordable.
Fred Moore
It's not pulled. It's more of a nagging injury. We don't want her to risk getting it worse in the shorter sprint where there could be more pressure on it. She says she's going into it [300] to win.
Krystal Mckenzie
It's a nice idea around which to program a lot of different music. Using that as a theme was a good way to build an eclectic concert - anything connected with dance. It's shorter, lighter, different types of music. And we have a couple of surprises, too.
Michael Luxner
Le Mans runs on a longer track with 48 cars. At Daytona, with more cars and shorter run, drivers are always passing or being passed. You have to been on your toes at all times.
Tommy Archer
I believe there is a real place for such a program. Many students come to Shorter with highly developed skills and interests in sports. It has been a way of life for them, and they aren't ready to leave that completely behind.
Renva Watterson
We throw it shorter, but he can stretch the field. He's fast and explosive.
Keith Simons
I will make you shorter by the head.
Elizabeth I
I always get them mixed up. Andrew gave Ben a shorter haircut. Andrew has more of a blonder colored hair. Sometimes, they play along with it. Ben is the quieter one. Drew is more outgoing.
Ernie Chatman
The reason for doing this would be that the Qwest merger would take a shorter time period to close from a regulatory approval process standpoint.
Eric Strumingher
These falls are typically always frozen, but they're getting shorter as the snow pack increases.
Elton Adams
That's what we're going to do (tonight), play all of our big men. We've got a lot of fouls to give, and anytime they can step up and give us a little bit ... Edwin Shorter is doing a good job of helping out with defense in the back. We really think we can come into here and play Fordyce a good ballgame.
Ellis Berry
If under these circumstances the F.O.M.C. is prepared to keep going, then this means that the committee is more worried about the longer-term risk of higher inflation than the shorter-term risk of a collapse in growth.
