Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.

Sally Koch

If I were a small business, I'd start brainstorming and think clearly what it is I want the public to think of me. Then, I'd run it by friends and associates and bat things around. See how that name resonates and get people's reactions. You may have associations with your name that you're not aware of, particularly in ethnic communities like we have here.

Nathan Kling

It's an exciting concept and we hope it will become a buzz of any town large or small.

Mark Cicero

Once again, the racists and anti-Semites are exploiting a tragedy of great proportion and one that binds the nation to spew their hatred and seek to divide the nation. While they may be small in number, their reach through the Internet is of great concern. Their messages of hate must be countered by the good words of good people.

Abraham H. Foxman

We are a fully professional orchestra with fully paid musicians, but we are still perceived as a small community orchestra. We need to change that.

Doug Barry

The mood here is euphoric ... This is being looked upon as a miracle in this small Russian town.

Ryan Chilcote

If small businesses want to buy the high-cost option and they can afford it, great. If they don't, why can you not offer them lower-cost options?

Amanda Austin

We can certainly use it. It doesn't solve school-facility needs, but in a small county like Stokes, even half a million dollars is big.

Leon Inman

A conservative government tends to have a lower tax, less spending and small government. Financial markets generally approve of these things. So a majority conservative government is beneficial to the Canadian dollar.

Firas Askari

Whether it's a large chance or a small chance, it's a chance, and so, it's an urgent situation.

Captain Paul Mcdonough

Last year, there wasn't much team chemistry or leadership; it was just in small groups. We have a good bond this year and will work well together.

Amanda Padilla

The problems are with the smaller carriers, which SYSCO relies on heavily. Small carriers don't have a lot of this information readily available. We ask them to enter the data in our Internet-based transportation management system, but they're not always good about doing it.

Masao Nishi

We have looked at that and it is a doable thing but the margins are small, ... It's better to have a plan, than to not have one.

Wayne Hale

When you make charitable contributions, you realize you can't save the world, so you find a small area you can go into and hopefully do some good and do it with your own money and your own sweat and you see the results.

John Grisham

Music is a good shorthand way to delineate character. If you want to tell the reader a lot about a character in a small space, just tell them what their musical taste is. You'll get their age, their background, whether they're gregarious or a loner.

Ian Rankin

Small manufacturers are the source of Japan's economic recovery. I hope local officials will further strive to nurture those companies.

Toshihiro Nikai

There are a few (film) festivals in Georgia. One of the biggest is in Atlanta. Savannah has a big one. Rome has a small one. There are a few out there. ... They can recruit companies to Georgia. Bringing producers and directors in can expose them to the state and therefore encourage companies to come to Georgia. That's very important to us.

Greg Torre

I don't think there's a neighborhood where more writers live. There is no neighborhood in the world - and I've looked - with more independent bookstores in such a small area.

Dave Eggers

These people are careless. They have no courtesy, and in this case, it ended in death. This becomes really dangerous because this area is full of seniors and small children. There are a lot of blind entrances and curves.

John Schutty

The historic earnings generated by ECI have been poor and the heavy administrative burden of running a small estate such as this one has hindered performance.

James Dawson

They were just produced in a small window from 1915 to 1935 when the first sound movies came in. They were strictly for silent movies. This was this one's first and only home. It never has been anywhere but the Strand.

Jim Montgomery

It's a small field (in Buxton), and it's another reason why we encouraged more passing, because you couldn't dribble anyway it was too crowded. We tried to keep it wide, and it was one issue we had this past weekend and against Cape Henry (all losses), we were getting the ball wide and making crosses, and the inside people weren't following the play, and we were wasting crosses.

Mark Cross

Popularity? It is glory's small change.

Victor Hugo

Our Internet business has surpassed our own expectations this quarter and we are on our way to becoming the online destination for small business -- the place where business does business.

Thomas G. Stemberg

We want it to be small-time. We're not going for charts here. We're just looking for people in Minnesota to be able to go into a store and find us.

Grace Potter

It's not breaking in if they have the keys. It's difficult to say whether someone is a victim of these people. Somebody goes into someplace and steals a small item and it's not noticed for a couple of weeks.

Jim Shires

We played well at times, but our margin for error is so small.

Steve Pikiell

Our current business was built in the 1950s and is too small. We don't even have a showroom.

Nancy Haas

If I'm an enterprise customer implementing a large IP network, it's not the big network vendors I'm interested in. It's the products from the small companies and start-ups. And that's harder to track.

David Strom

We are seeing some mixing of patterns but it's usually in small doses, as an accent here and there in a manner that doesn't detract from the primary pattern. A mix of patterns in complementary texture is very strong.

Betsy Thompson

Small mom-and-pop shops use DSL or cable just because it is really, really cheap. But a company of any significant size is going to need its service to be reliable.

John Threadgill

We're not going to sell a golden retriever to someone who lives in a small apartment. We need to know just what kind of life they will have before we let our babies go home with someone.

Bobbi Benedetti

Don't put anything up there that is too small. Do clusters or groupings.

Heidi Johnson

We may have had a 10th and 11th planet that collided. It's also possible that the outward migration of Neptune scattered comets and small planet bodies, inducing collisions in the asteroid belt. The close passing of a neighboring star could have had a similar effect.

Anglican Bishop Robert Duncan

Living with small children is like having a bowling alley set up in your brain.

Martin Mull

It's a very small company right now but its got the right idea of providing a one-stop shop for specialty products catering to expectant mothers and young children.

Neil Stern

If this attack is launched soon, ... the devastation to the American economy alone could easily far exceed that of the September 11 attacks and could be equivalent to the detonation of a small nuclear device on American soil.

Christopher Brown

The neighborhood association will help people if they need something done; Jerry just told me how we helped build a ramp for a local church. We'll send flowers if someone passes away or has fallen ill. We're a small neighborhood, but everybody is really friendly and we keep a close eye on each other.

Dorothy Knight

What Microsoft is announcing today is only a small portion of what they have planned in the future - they have big plans and we're out there aggressively collecting the imagery.

Jamie Retterath

The company disclosed one technical covenant breach that appears so small that it raised myriad questions among investors as to why the special dividend was canceled rather than just postponed.

Jake Newman

Let me make this clear: I didn't want a fight. What I wanted from President Bush was a nominee about whom, win or lose, we could all be proud. Instead, turning to His Girl Harriet, President Bush for once thought small. And that means, on this one President Bush is already a loser.

Maggie Gallagher

The small field should not make a difference to him and it was a small enough field when he won it last year. He's a class horse as you would expect for a Champion hurdle winner.

Tony Mccoy

Whether it's buying books or finding supplies or whatever to help teacher continue teaching, it really amazing to see something that seems so small on paper really affect kids in the classroom.

Scott Roberts

This will give small and medium businesses better automated control over their user populations, including access and the levels of privileges are being granted; something only large businesses have been able to afford and implement.

Gerry Gebel

We're no longer a small district.

Robert Cullen

Wal-Mart has never done anything on a small scale. It has a pattern of entering communities and using predatory pricing practices ... to run competitors out of business.

William Mcnary

We're still trying to figure out the pain-cost trade-off. You can't rely on the entire ANX customer base to be a captive market, and ANX is small relative to the business-service market in general.

John Curran

The most important skill in staying calm is not to lose sleep over small issues. The second most important skill is to be able to view all issues as small issues.

Paul Wilson

Right now, the bill still needs work. It does not achieve what we had hoped to achieve for small businesses, that's for sure.

Tom Underwood

It prevents credit unions from extending their services to small employee groups.

Stephen Brobeck

I just wrestle my style and not worry about what my opponent might do. I don't tie up - I have to wrestle with quickness because I'm small for my weight class.

Brent Fosheim

We had a really good effort on a small field. We played on their football field and it was bumpy and rough in the middle. We had to dribble on the outside and it was tough to score in those conditions.

David Weiss

There's gonna be new people moving into the new houses. I hope there's small kids and that's what they'll bring to the school down here.

Nancy Reynolds

We're small. If you notice, (our sign) says 'Acre'. That's it. Our priority are the farmer's markets. And we have a lot of repeat customers, that, during the winter, have a hard time not having our cheese.

Bob Skinner

The question is what catalyst will get it going. My guess is more signs of a stronger economy. That might be higher interest rates, but you may need that to get small caps going. They may improve as the bond (goes down).

Joseph Mcalinden

In all the affairs of life, social as well as political, courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest to the grateful and appreciating heart.

Henry Clay

For any company that has a few IT people and more than 50 or 100 computers, it isn't that overwhelming to install and manage SMS. And if you're real small, you're probably just going to install automatic updates.

Peter Pawlak

People from small towns often identify with each other. There's a connection with people who grew up in small towns that I don't have with people who grew up in cities.

Sandra Malone

Product development remains an initiative in our Medical Segment. During the year we plan to continue to enhance our individual/association plans as well as review our small employer group products. We plan to explore new marketing relationships with national marketing companies and promote increased brokerage sales through electronic distribution and traditional sales.

Tom Kilian

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain.

Pierre De Fermat

We will now use competitive strategies everywhere possible placing priority on the use of local and small disadvantaged businesses as we move into the long-term recovery phase.

David Paulison

Small goals are mostly individuals getting better, especially in the area of blocking, because we are so young.

Dave Shondell

The motion was very small, but it was perceptible.

John Callas

That's just a small example of things to come.

George Boykin

Dachshunds are ideal dogs for small children, as they are already stretched and pulled to such a length that the child cannot do much harm one way or the other.

Robert Benchley

This is the essence of your town. It's the great strength or attribute that distinguishes it from other small towns.

Jack Schultz

Together, our companies only have about 17 percent of the pay television market. Just the Comcast-AT&T [business] alone will have something well north of that, ... Just that company, in the cable industry, has about 78 percent, according to the FCC report in January. So we're a very small fish in a very big pond.

Charlie Ergen

We believe the combination of American General with AIG is a great platform, ... We have a very good, but small, domestic life insurance business, and this will enhance it. Home Life is not the business we would go out building today, but it has been a cash cow for American General and it enhances the kind of business we want considerably.

Maurice Greenberg

The human strategy is to stay small as long as possible and then shoot up and get big just before you're about to be useful. It's good economics.

Michael Gurven

Although China is still a very small part of the global business for the moment, China is one of the best growth stories for Standard Chartered in Asia.

Katherine Tsang

The outside kennels need to be completely remodeled or replaced as the concrete is deteriorating, the drain at the end is too small, partitions are not of adequate height or construction and there are sharp edges and points from damage to fencing and metal work. Due to gaps between the top of the kennel doors and the top cover there appears to be plenty of opportunity for escape and injury.

Curt Ransom

We had excellent insurance, which at least was able to pay for rebuilding the club back to the way it was. But we also wanted to use the opportunity to make some improvements. So we had a limited bond issue among our members, and also took out a small mortgage. Even after all this, our equity-to-debt ratio is about 5-1, which is excellent for any organization.

Paul Sandler

It's so hard standing with someone as a cleaning crew takes all of their belongings and throws it on the curb. All that remains can fit in one small box.

Kay Bennett

It's very difficult to make changes at the Major League level, because these guys want to be successful. They've been doing this for quite a while with other instructors. So I'm coming in with small adjustments, not major adjustments.

Mickey Brantley

It's an interesting offering. The concept behind the product seems pretty sound. If the recipient does not know you, then you have to essentially jump through a very small hoop that confirms you are a real live human being instead of one of those bulk e-mail programs. This has always proven to be an effective antispam technique in mailing lists and discussion lists.

Ray Everett church

My goal is to help small districts in the short term, ... Once the cap hits 15 percent it would be permanent but I'm realistic about the legislative process and how it works. If it comes down to whether or not it will pass I'll have to talk to everyone involved in my district and see if a compromise can't be reached.

Brett Davis

They are a real physical team, more than most people probably realize or give them credit for. Batista is the main guy but they have others who also crash the boards. We're small. We can shoot. But when Marco is out, we don't have a lot of options.

Marshall Strickland

When I was a kid in a small private school on Long Island and this event occurred, we were all fascinated. For years, I've been wondering what to do with the material. I think it should be an opera. They're all so operatic and passionate in their personalities.

Phyllis Nagy

At registration, students will be allowed to bring a small appliance from home that they will tear apart during the camp. They will then rebuild it in a different form as a robot.

Dina Valentine

I've heard from a lot of people, mostly small-business owners, about how they feel neglected by City Hall. It's a way to get the city's attention.

Lamar Whitmer

It's tough, especially on a small campus, to make good TV.

Tom Weeks

This year is kind of an aberration. It probably would be good for very specific investors with specific environmental screens in mind. But only a small portion of the portfolio.

Catherine Hickey

These devices suffer from a glass ceiling. A 2.5- to 3-inch LCD is too small to easily deliver a good user interface.

David Carey

The world only exists in your eyes. You can make it as big or as small as you want.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

I think there's a tug of war going on between the robust economy and its positive impact on earnings and the fact that it's likely the Fed's going to raise rates some more, ... We still a have a policy here that small aggressive investors maintain a pretty heavy waiting in stocks. We always recommend a balanced portfolio.

Kathy Jones

I'm just a small fish in the big pond of professional baseball. I'm very proud of and proud for all those who made it. A long time ago, they all went through a lot to make it easier for a guy like me.

Tuffy Rhodes

Say what you will about small town schools, ... but they give more individual attention and have smaller class size.

Gary Harris

Even small pieces of campaign finance reform are difficult. There's a lot of different interests in Springfield, and there's not a huge appetite from any corner for real campaign finance reform. We certainly saw that when the bill was introduced last session.

Doug Scofield

Erin has the talent to be an all-state runner, just like he brother, Brad, was. She just needs to get over some small hurdles, build a little more strength and it could be a 1-2-3 punch.

Jermoe Loy

Of the small handful of companies that have reported, the disappointments that came out were due largely because costs were higher, and here we've got oil, the No. 1 catalyst that caused that, jumping higher again.

Jim Paulsen

Companies that made lead pigments decades and decades ago can hardly be held (responsible) because a small group of landlords refuse to obey the law and maintain.

Bonnie Campbell

Physical restraint is a small part of a behavior program. Just because a kid is on a behavior program doesn't mean they have physical restraint.

Jill Greene

I got to know David Allan through a friend about five years ago. When he heard about all our troubles with the hurricanes, he decided to do us a favor and perform here. He hasn't played a place this small in 20 years. He might have a tough guy image, but he has a lot of heart, too.

Louie Andrus

If there is a fire or some kind of tragedy or crisis and everyone's trying to exit, our capacity is 150 people, and that door's going to look mighty small with 150 people trying to get through it.

John Erwin

It was just a very small helicopter operation with two aircraft.

Bob Cole

Everyone is saying small business is the engine of the economy, but we're not putting any gas in the tank.

Donald Wilson

Our laws are reflection of our culture, and in our culture it's not acceptable to torture small animals.

Joseph Moore

Bartering is always a good way to preserve capital, enabling small companies to focus on growing their business.

Brian Lee

That was the easy one. We're taking these as they come. We have as good an understanding of how to deal with these as anyone because we've had so much practice. We're a small part of this story. There are millions of people affected by these hurricanes.

Britton Banowsky

I think the XP issue is a rather small event in the big-picture rivalry between AOL and Microsoft.

Fred Moran

I'd love to see a park for small children in each neighborhood. I don't think that's going to happen in the next four years.

Buddy Allen

I was pretty shocked because he isn't really a small act in any way, so it was impressive to hear that he was going to be here.

Brandon Tobias

You don't have to be a mathematical whiz to know that if we do well in the small-business segment, we do well overall.

Andrew Sotiropoulos

These two appointments directly support our aggressive corporate growth goals for 2006, and beyond. Over his 13 years at Stanley, Mike has been instrumental in our evolution from a small business to one of the industry's largest government services contractors.

Phil Nolan

The College Board's recognition of four of our AP programs is a compliment to Keystone School's overall approach to education. We put motivated, capable students in small classes with dedicated, experienced teachers in a homey, safe atmosphere.

Hugh Mcintosh

If you look at how much money we're spending in Iraq and the increase in the defense budget, surely a small portion of that could be used to take care of these kids coming back from Iraq.

Martin Meehan

You should check around all your doors and windows to see if there are any drafts. A lot of heat can be lost through a very small crack at the bottom of a door. Sealing that off with weather stripping can save you a lot of money.

Rachel Lipsey

We weren't witness to an explosion and there was a very small amount of smoke upon our arrival.

Daryl Fuglerud

We are looking for the next version of the product, which will allow us to break the model into small subsections so we can go back and change the processes under way.

Indy Crowley

In some small way, I'm doing my part on behalf of those people who lost everything. I am giving back by doing something I can do, which is cook New Orleans food like no one else.

Bill Wade

Opportunities arise from doing your best on a small part. Get involved in the work because you love it and want to learn something and be a part of something that is much bigger than you.

Melissa Canon

New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.

Peter Jackson

I think it's all something we have to live with because we all need water. I don't know how else to get it. I can't believe how many houses they're building in South Tampa. And not small ones - huge ones.

Sue Lyon

I've witnessed some of the most profound changes here at Franklin Hospital that I've seen in health care, especially for one institution, ... But, in small hospitals change is the only constant and we know that if we are operating the same way six months from now that we are today we're probably not going to survive.

Frank Caruso

The goal is to eat every two to three hours. You can try six equal-sized small meals or three small meals with two or three snacks each day.

Susan Kleiner

If you stacked regulations up, they would be about 5 feet tall, and there are so many regulations for small-business owners that half the time when they break regulations, they don't know they are doing it.

Carl Gipson

Recruiting is a viable strategy - Cheyenne has seen that. But in small communities, you are looking at not losing the things you have.

Tim Thorson

How the sting of poverty, or small means, is gone when one keeps house for one's own comfort and not for the comfort of one's neighbors.

Dinah Maria Mulock

I always feel like with every CD we put out, we have to start back at square one. We feel like we always go from arenas back to small clubs. And we feel like we always have to prove ourselves, ... But whatever. You can't make everyone happy, and if you are, you're probably doing something wrong. And at this point, I'm happier with this record than I've ever been before.

Doug Robb

Those are small, little triumphs.

Angela Hefel

It would be illegal to apply this proposed definition to any federal contract. The minority small business community is not well served by a resolution that flies in the face of existing laws.

Aida Alvarez

The merger with Bank of Punjab has brought new business lines, especially in its SME (small and medium enterprises) portfolio, and increased our low-cost retail deposit base.

Shailendra Bhandari

Prices on networking products have really gone down because of wide availability. It's certainly affordable for small businesses.

Sanjeev Aggarwal

This is a very small legal community. Do you really want to start pissing off more experienced lawyers at this early stage of your career?

William Korman

People say, 'What is the sense of our small effort?' They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time.

Dorothy Day

It was kind of what you would expect in a small town back then. Many of us had played together since Little League.

Phil Roberts

The S&P 500 is still less than 70 percent of the entire market, so in order to diversify your holdings you have to hold some mid-cap and small stocks. But my major message is that you should not expect that you're going to get a higher return on those stocks than you will on the big stocks.

Jeremy Siegel

There have been incidents in the desert and I have small children.

Patrick Sheehan

It was so small and they had these wooden benches instead of chairs.

Scott Williams

Small crimes always precedes great ones.

Jean Baptiste Racine

I consider myself one of a very small handful of drivers in the world that are top drivers. The best one? I don't think anybody can say they're the best one because, from one week to the next, you can be on form or off form a little bit.

Nigel Mansell

The possibility of a US dollar collapse or sharp decline may be small at this point but it would generate very significant turmoil so East Asian economies... ought to be ready for that.

Masahiro Kawai

We're under a burn ban. Everything is so dry. And even if you have just a small fire, everyone has their windows open with the power out. The smoke comes in and you smell up everything.

Mark Mitchell

We started small with one store in Birdsboro, which was probably a 5,000-square-foot garage, and it has just grown over the years.

Chris Fecera

That's the way the games at Wildwood Catholic go. We expected that. It's a small gym.

Van Cathcart

I want to create objects that reflect small moments of raw beauty in the natural world.

Tim Harding

Living in a small studio or in a substandard apartment in Europe is better than living in a country where there is chaos and insecurity.

Alexandre Galley

Were all these entities failing when Dena Schlosser walked into the kitchen, bypassed the small knife and chose the instrument of death?

Bill Dobiyanski

This kind of packet of materials would include -- even though it's a small packet -- all sorts of things, including the gloves, the masks, the suits, the goggles, disinfectants, etc.

Kent Hill

For profit businesses, our young entrepreneurs need guidance in developing a business and professional attitude and putting together a business plan and a policy so that they can approach banks for small business grants and loans.

Gilbert West

No-limit hold 'em shows so well on TV, and games with small buy-ins have helped no-limit hold 'em (thrive). The bad player doesn't get trapped for as much money as he would in a no-limit hold 'em game with a big buy-in.

Mason Malmuth

I just thought about the impact she was making on me. Then, it took more of a global perspective. To know the work she did alone is amazing, but then to know her as I did and her best friends did - it was a bigger perspective. If you knew her, you loved her, and not for the changes she made on the world, but for the small changes she made on everyone in the world.

Kristina Matarazzo

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Robert Collier

You get this argument that burial is big and ugly and corporate and fat and it's the Cadillac. Cremation is hip and new and happening. It's the VW bug with the 'small is beautiful' kind of thing.

Stephen Prothero

Fijians do not seek permanency as an expression of racial superiority. Their motivation is to ensure the survival of a small and distinct race.

Laisenia Qarase

Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.

Phillips Brooks

They were so small but their guard pressure wouldn't allow us to get the ball to our big guys. And once we did, we didn't know what little guy was coming down. That was really big.

Gary Martin

We worked on some very small things. We just went back to basics, worked on getting the ball down, better fastball command, fastballs down and away.

Darren Balsley

Small businesses are very important customers for banks today because there are more of them than ever before and each and every bank is fighting to get them.

Fritz Elmendorf

For a relatively small set of cases that involve patients who used Vioxx for over 18 months, we will take a close look.

Kent Jarrell

The skill development came along but we never quite came together as a team. It could have been because of the small injuries and other things along the way, but things just never clicked.

George Hamilton

ENTHUSIASM, n. A distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience. Byron, who recovered long enough to call it 'entuzy-muzy,' had a relapse, which carried him off -- to Missolonghi.

Ambrose Bierce

There's an old Chinese proverb that says the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If a woman can make simple pledges to change the small things, she's well on her way to leading a fuller, healthier life.

Florence Henderson

When there were not very many Internet companies, the supply of Internet companies to the market was small and the appetite for them was large. Therefore, if you were in the business of creating Internet companies in 1996-98, you had a market that provided massive demand for that.

Fred Wilson

In the grand scheme of things, the total economic impact is relatively small. This is not a high employment industry. Therefore, even if the concern persists, there are likely to be few knock-on effects.

Matt Johnson

While a handful of countries and a small number of people are leading ample life, dozens of countries and billions of people in Africa, Asia and Latin America are being left in absolute poverty.

Tran Duc Luong

You don't have to look very far to find out that this drug goes to small communities. Winfield is struggling.

Barrie Hewer

National retail is Target and Wal-Mart, and we'll never have that kind of retail here, not that we'd turn them away, but because there is no place to put it. We'd have to rezone West Berkeley to accommodate that kind of store, and we won't do that. It's got to be relatively small shops, most likely independent.

Dave Fogarty

I just kind of gradually was able to lift more within two weeks very little pain and of course a small scar.

Cecilia Farley

Blow to homeowners and small business people.

Cato Institute

That may seem like a small number, but it makes a huge difference in ocean temperature and it has many consequences.

Judith Curry

It's still a cautious period for small cap investors, ... The companies that work best have bullet-proof earnings.

Satya Pradhuman

It was one small step for President Bush, and one giant missed opportunity for America. The president's proposals focus primarily on research. His energy program won't help lower gas prices or slow the global warming that the president still does not admit is happening.

Toby Chaudhuri

Avon is a small school, and they hadn't had a lot of success. It takes time to get a program established.

Brent Dugan

Alison will be a huge asset to the center, having several years experience in teaching and curriculum development, and organizing events for large and small groups at her last position.

Denis Thomas

The drive to privatize, or really personalize, Social Security simply proves that small business owners want to regain control of their money from the federal government.

Sharon Miller

Keep in mind that all fires start small. You have everything you need in a candle to lose your apartment or house.

Stephen Mcinerny

This is no small potatoes. It won't be pretty.

Bob Blanchard

For instance, we're going back to small group reading.

Tom Coulson

We are concerned that the IMF and the World Bank's conditions for a small civil service is unrealistic, going by the number of citizens who seek Government services on daily and hourly basis.

Andrew George

I don't think there is a tremendous future for large numbers of news channels in Britain. It's moving so fast to the web, and their numbers - all the news channels - are so pitifully small. Increasingly, if there's a major news development you are going to the web first to find out what's happening there and then.

Jon Snow

Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number really.

Brandon Lee

The market is short-term oriented, so even a small rise in commodity prices drives the market as potential future earnings.

Glenn Macneill

What we want to share in our Small Business Summit is the myriad ways that we're investing in meeting the unique needs of small businesses.

Cindy Bates

They don't try to be Wal-Mart. Small banks recognize they need to specialize, rather than try to offer the full range of products. And specialization leads to more efficiencies.

Keith Leggett

The reason we don't currently do that, or historically have never done that, is the ports are small.

Barry Fukunaga

Certainly merger and acquisition activity will pick up. There are many small- and medium-size companies that need to consolidate to compete, especially in Italy.

Carlo Pambianco

I think the Budget is going to be positive. The last government numbers up until December point to a small deficit and, pushing it out to the full year, the deficit should be less than 1% of GDP. There is scope for government to spend more and provide more tax relief at the low end of the scale.

Craig Pheiffer

The majority of them are operating under deficits, so our situation is not unique. . . . But our situation is exacerbated here because we're a small community. And what will differentiate us is how we're going to go about maintaining our high-class standards.

Keith Lockhart

In New York or L.A., it's just a big city thing. People are fascinated by it because it's coming from a small city in the Midwest.

Brian Rosenberger

I am thinking it's possibly workable. The FIG will have to see how it turns out in the competition situation, and I'm sure they will be doing some small adjustments because it's a big departure from what we've had before.

Martha Karolyi

He improved dramatically after the first two practices. He is making small adjustments to make it easier. I am interested in putting this into action and breaking old habits. He is training differently than just diving. It is a little tough to do both.

Keith Hart

Briarcliff citizens need to pay more attention to the caucus. It's specially attuned to the needs of small-town government and it has worked well — with some minor interruptions — for more than a century.

Tom Vincent

People will pay a lot for violin lessons, but a small investment with Epicenter can make kids faster and stronger, ... Stronger and faster might mean a college scholarship.

Chip Sigmon

We were playing with a really small margin of error for the longest time and one little non-perfect hockey game really set us back. It's a game of inches and a couple games ago we lost a foot.

Steve Montador

The eventual goal of this committee is to make recommendations about what we can do. It could be something as small as the schedule.

Paul Puryear

It's not fair to hold us accountable for small numbers of students.

David Baum

Our economy was expanding, we were growing jobs and we could absorb shocks like this. It's not the massive impact people thought in the first place. It's actually a relatively small bump in the road.

Bruce Nissen

We know we have to abide by the law, but this is still a tough thing to do. I know it's progress, but it's hard for a small community like ours.

Brandon Hamilton

No idea is too small or insane.

Dawn Ballard

Also, we've got several older, small buildings spread out all over the place with a handful of people working in them. We could consolidate those functions at this new complex and probably tear down lots of those older facilities, ... Imagine the savings in terms of maintenance and energy costs alone.

Jack Gibson

Columbia Falls is pretty small and that gave us an advantage.

Nate Hammond

Even small progress is progress. The entire novice stepped it up -- they had their right race at the right time.

Carmen Mirochna

I'm approaching it as a very small window for me. In my position, I'm not going to have too many opportunities. In this business, you have to make the best of it.

Michael Gasperson

We counsel and support over 400,000 small businesses a year on how to manage and develop their business.

Marilyn Tam

More and more customers are using the same PC at work and at home, particularly small businesses. We are delivering an offering that brings everything together.

Barry Goffe

We must make improvements to the water system to meet the new arsenic standard, ... The problem is that the cost of (mitigating a) well is what it is, whether a system serves 10 customers or 1,000. That is why we developed the alternate proposal for the CPUC to consider, so that rates for customers in small systems aren't impacted so dramatically.

Chris Whitley

We used to all be small local companies. We were always a brand locally and now we're a brand nationally. There's a tremendous opportunity for growth in this company.

Joel Rassman

I know people can always find detractions about a project. We have the grounds outside the senior center and we never utilize them. Everything has to start small and grow from there.

Scott Kaupin

There could be some small level of competition but I don't think there will be much conflict. The two lines complement themselves.
