The biggest factor for survival is attitude. If you've got the right attitude, you can get through it. The equipment and training is secondary.

Richard Nelson

My thought when I first saw him was, if he did survive, he was likely to have permanent consequences and disabilities from the injury, ... But I think we all knew the likelihood of survival was small.

George Edwards

Memory is a very amorphous thing. It is selective and shaped by emotion . . . people are constantly in pursuit of the details of their past because it is from that they determine their own identity upon which they can base their strategy of survival.

Will Eisner

The growth factors covered in this symposium -- insulin, BDNF and GDNF -- appear to be able to regulate alcohol's effects independent of their role in cell survival.

Dorit Ron

It's getting to the point of survival for the human species on the planet.

Brian Lapointe

I have declared a state of emergency at American Airlines. This declaration is an official recognition that – hard as it may be to accept – our company's very survival depends on dramatic change to our operations, our schedule, and worst of all our staffing levels.

Donald Carty

This is a significant improvement in survival for women with this disease, which is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage.

Dr. Deborah Armstrong

This distribution, which saves some 12,000 lives a year, is the largest exercise in child survival in Nepal.

Suomi Sakai

We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle-class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival.

Christopher Lasch

Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.

Ty Cobb

Turkey hunters can again look forward to high quality year of turkey hunting. Populations were good heading into winter, which was mild to moderate in severity depending on location, and we expect a good survival rate.

Andrea Mezera

It was a matter of survival for the local people, but it was the most violent scene I have ever witnessed. The people in my group, feeling helpless, were all spellbound and aghast at the same time. I became a vegetarian shortly after that.

Wendie Malick

I haven't seen a Golden Slipper like this - it really is survival of the fittest.

Mark Morrisey

For those people, CPR with 911 is critical to their survival. In general, the better we have a population trained to deal with events (such as) sudden cardiac arrests, the better off everyone is.

David Rodgers

If patients meet the criteria for transplantation, this approach offers an excellent chance for long-term survival.

Abby Siegel

This is all new. We don't know what will happen. Hopefully that (survival rate) will improve.

Mark Kumberg

This whole meet has kind of been survival mode. I'm definitely not in peak condition. I can't focus really, really intensely for four years straight.

Natalie Coughlin

Our country also hungers for leadership to ensure the long-term survival of our Social Security system. With 70 million baby boomers in this country on the verge of retirement, we need to take action to shore up the system.

Kay Hutchison

It's not OK to just measure disease control and survival. We need to know what children's lives will be like after therapies.

Paul Fisher

Avoid strapping your pack to your sled. In an emergency, you want your survival gear with you, not on your sled.

Ray Paige

Americans should be outraged at how many western states are treating America's lion, ... South Dakota's actions are yet another egregious example of the blatant lack of regard for the survival of not only the mountain lion but also the landscapes we know and love.

Lynn Sadler

Survival. Whether it's one point or 10 points, in a tournament like this you just want to survive and move on to the next round.

Steve Helton

A lot of people sleep on the trains in the cold weather. It's a survival tactic, so it's a concern when the trains are shut down.

Patrick Markee

Most housing has been destroyed in the hardest-hit areas, so the survival of thousands of young children is now at stake.

Ann Veneman

I think most legal scholars believe the South Dakota statute has a very remote chance of being upheld - a snowball entering a warm location in its chance of survival.

Michael Myers

As we traveled to more than 20 countries to produce 'Rx for Survival,' we recorded scenes that will break your heart -- and some even involved children in Africa, ... But what dominates these programs is the real-life, get-it-done individual heroism, the stuff that's usually on display in Hollywood.

Larry Klein

The very survival of New Brunswick?s manufacturing sector is now at risk.

David Plante

The greater the awareness, the greater chance they have in terms of cultural survival. People will appreciate what they do and then want to support them.

Charles Chamberlain

It's been six months. That's a long time to be in survival mode. It's nice to have Mardi Gras, to remind us we're normal people.

Cindy Salerno

When we were engaged in the problems of survival we had no time to have anything to do with culture.

Nursultan Nazarbayev

The question of the survival of the PA as an entity is less important than the future of the peace process.

Tzippi Livni

They're happy. They're happy because it's not the survival of the fittest anymore.

Jorge Rochac

Twenty tortoises is a small population. These [20] tortoises would not protect the survival of gopher tortoises in Florida, but protecting them would preserve the species in Hillsborough County.

Joan Berish

Hey, this has been said before over the past century or so. But there's a survival instinct going on that is demonstrated on a small scale here.

Gene Scott

I'm in survival mode. There've been a lot of obstacles in the last two or three years.

Harold Martinez

These costs are not insignificant for an airline that is fighting for its survival.

Joe Kolshak

The doctors told her she needs a bone marrow transplant to increase her chances for long term survival. Because her cancer is always recurring, that odds are against her to live cancer free. Her best odds for living a full healthy life is to have a bone marrow transplant.

Jason Quinlan

The authorities must ensure the means for farmers to grow their food and maintain their livelihoods. A regular supply of electricity is urgently needed for irrigation to prevent the destruction of the current paddy crop, on which these farmers depend for their survival.

Abbas Faiz

[In her] What If They Were White? ... If the majority of the hardest hit victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were white people, they would not have gone for days without food and water, forcing many to steal for mere survival.

Nancy Giles

These wolves are completely terrified of us. They need to be. If they have even a chance at survival in the wild they need to be afraid of humans.

Jackie Fallon

What we have seen is an increased awareness of the need for a disaster plan. All the images on TV and the newspaper had an impact on everybody, certainly when people think about their software and hardware and the survival of their business.

John Mcpherson

Sometimes it's just about survival, it doesn't have to be pretty golf but functional golf, ... Maybe being a bit older and a little bit more patient, we might know a few more shots. But I wouldn't put anything past these young girls.

Karen Stupples

Governments, industry and people everywhere have to start reducing fossil fuel pollution as if our lives depended on it. Actually, the very survival of tens of thousands of species does depend on action to avoid dangerous climate change.

Julia Langer

The focus of the Fund will be to help those individuals and families evacuated from the greater New Orleans area as they address immediate concerns related to housing, food, education, health care and basic survival necessities. The Fund will also provide resources to assist individuals over time to rebuild their homes and livelihoods.

Derek E. Gordon

I would not have one as a pet. The only things they think about are food, reproduction and survival. That's it. They are not capable of analyzing much more than that. Their brains are the size of a walnut. They can't process information.

Gary Morse

I think one of the misconceptions is that it is fatal. If it's detected early, the five-year survival rate is 95%.

Jill Dougherty

The key to our survival in the next two or three years is good surveillance.

Alan Shaw

She gave her mother the best possible chance of survival. For her actions, the entire community should be proud of her.

Capt. Paul Mcdonough

I always want to laugh at the sad stuff. You don't need to laugh at the other stuff. I'm not numb to these things. I still go into really dark periods about Sept. 11. I think it's kind of like bullies. Bullies are just scared and thin-skinned, so they have to become bullies as a kind of survival tactic. I think comics are that way, too.

Sarah Silverman

I started having dreams that there was a home for me there. The desert motivates me in a very different way than the city. There's a very harsh brutality that calls upon your survival instincts. It's a harshness that is very beautiful to me. I feel very much a part of this wilderness.

Ana Castillo

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

Virginia Satir

Too often, one or more riders in a party don't carry the three essential pieces of gear: a shovel, transceiver, and probe pole. In a survival situation, lacking one of these pieces of equipment can be fatal.

Ray Paige

We're averaging about 30 percent mortality per year, or 70 percent of birds released are surviving. For the population to survive on its own, we need survival to be 90 percent. As the population builds, we're hoping that mortality decreases.

Joe Burnett

The emergency we face in the Horn today is the result of successive seasons of failed rains. Consequently, pastoralists living in these arid, remote lands have very few survival strategies left and desperately require our assistance to make it through until the next rains.

Holdbrook Arthur

These are very encouraging figures but we must not be complacent. We must make sure that future agricultural and aquaculture practices protect rather than impact on wild salmon stocks, and we need to fund further research into predation and general marine survival.

Paul Knight

We were able to get through [unofficially] earlier with the military and found animals alive. There is a good [animal] survival rate.

Paul Berry

This is the first time we have been able to predict such a huge improvement in long-term survival.

Richard Sullivan

I hope that when you leave here today you will have the knowledge of who you are and the challenges and power of what you can do to make a difference in the ultimate reality show, survival on earth. I want to motivate you to do the following: educate, advocate, and donate.

Ethan Zohn

The beluga sturgeon, one of the most valuable and threatened fishes in the world, greatly deserves this chance for survival, but it will be a long road to recovery.
