What to do if you find yourself stuck with no hope of rescue: Consider yourself lucky that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your present circumstances seems more likely, consider yourself lucky that it won't be troubling you much longer.

Lamon Brewster
It's very, very troubling, and very subjective and very unfair.
Laura Miller

It may kill fewer people in one fell swoop than a raging flood or an extended drought, but once it takes root in a community, it often defies eradication and can invade other areas.
Paul Epstein

Steven Brown

Michael Oppenheimer

Scott Wittman
We find that information troubling. It concerns us a great deal and we will be pursuing it.
Rosemary Foreman

Greg Carlson
You've got to look at very long-term impacts, with people out of their homes for months or years. The magnitude of the population displaced is very troubling. You look at 'OK, how many of our hospitals might be functioning?' There are pockets of New Orleans that still don't have power. Where do you move these people if you have to move them? We don't have answers right now.
Rob Harper
This is a troubling situation, Sony is, of course, a strong advocate of content protection. Beyond that, at this point, we don't have enough information.
Rick Clancy

Yusuf Mehdi

Josephine Potuto

Donna Brazile
This information is extremely troubling and reeks of favoritism.
Bob Martinez
It's disingenuous and wrong to say that the attorney general's expanded powers in the Patriot Act come with adequate oversight by the courts, ... In reality, the most troubling provisions in the law make judges little more than rubber stamps in Justice Department investigations.
Anthony D. Romero
What happens in China is of real concern to us. Most of us have been quite surprised that there has not been some evidence of human disease in China and we always worry if that is a function of transparency or the cases just aren't there. We just don't know. And the doubts are troubling.
Michael Osterholm
REPOSE, v.i. To cease from troubling.
Ambrose Bierce

Daryl Kimball
I know uncertainty about exposure is troubling.
Dorothy Teeter
We wanted to back the president, and sought evidence to support this nomination, but we find this Supreme Court nominee unqualified and her record troubling. However, we look forward to a nomination that we can wholeheartedly endorse.
Beverly Lahaye
While we've always had a certain number of federal prosecutors going after journalists, we're seeing a different type of phenomenon — the federal employee who's been wronged. If you can somehow compel the journalists to be agents of discovery, it's going to have a chilling effect. This is very troubling.
Lucy Dalglish
It's obviously troubling for the United States because if violators are allowed to stay on, and it's not a permanent body, then the human rights soap box is not a soap box at all.
Richard Grenell
The situation is troubling. There's a lot of cheap working hands out there and there's more people than jobs.

This is a difficult and troubling case.
Timothy Workman
The lack of credit education available to college age students is troubling considering that most of us start developing credit and making financial decisions that will affect our credit the day we arrive here.
Anoop Shah
I find this more troubling than deception in the political campaigns. The level of misunderstanding and the consequences of misunderstanding can be much more dramatic. If we don't hold the right people accountable and the right processes accountable, we'll risk having another catastrophe without real preparedness, and more people will die needlessly.
Kathleen Hall Jamieson
Law enforcement officers are held in a position of trust and they are held to a higher standard. That is why allegations like this are so troubling.

It's a troubling tape, no doubt about it.

What we've been subjected to is the assessment law of the month, and it really is troubling.

Nancy Ammerman
War crimes trials are always messy, but holding this trial in absentia would be extremely troubling to a lot of people.
Miranda Sissons
It's very clear from the witnesses that Brian wasn't involved in striking any blows against Norris Gaynor. And, obviously, the concern is for somebody to be charged with an open count of homicide and not to have acted in any way to have caused that homicide, obviously, is troubling to me.
Jeremy Kroll
The seasons could resume depending on the findings. But the allegations are troubling enough that we don't want anything to go forward until we get the facts of the matter.
Janet Walsh
It is troubling that for dozens of formerly homeless families and children their Christmas present will be a sharp reduction in vital housing assistance, which may make them homeless once again. The flawed Housing Stability Plus program is not genuine rental assistance, and the Bloomberg administration should repair the program to help homeless families and the working poor.
Patrick Markee
If that's true, that's very, very troubling, and that should lead to significant disciplining of police officers.
Howard Safir
This is the most troubling budget we've seen from this White House.
Heather Taylor
But the fact that there was a security breach is troubling, especially if there are no technical fixes available to protect the system.
Andrew Jaquith

Hideo Kojima
This year was troubling to a lot of people including Republicans and independents.
Jack Billion
I was completely surprised. I think things were troubling him from his local detractors.

Loren Eiseley

Richard Boucher
To be extremely troubling. They seem to reflect the work of a deeply committed ideologue.
Wade Henderson
This is what the department was supposed to be all about. Instead, it obviously raises very serious, troubling questions about whether the government would be prepared if this were a terrorist attack. It's a devastating indictment of this department's performance four years after 9/11.
Clark Kent Ervin
The circumstances regarding this study raise troubling questions about the ability of the government to effectively issue rules protecting public health when studies are conducted, controlled and selectively published.
Peter Lurie
Any time something like this happens, it will be troubling.
Joseph Sandoval
We find all of these things extremely troubling. We find all of them to be certainly efforts to spark a civil war. And we think that the Iraqis will do their very best to avoid just that.

Amaya Smith
A young man who had been troubling society with impalpable doctrines of a new civilization which he called "the Kingdom of Heaven" had been put out of the way; and I can imagine that believer in material power murmuring as he went homeward, "it will all blow over now." Yes. The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet.
George William Russell
The ... bill is quite troubling.
Christian Ramirez
The idea that the doubt is left in a player's mind as to whether there was a right call or not is troubling in a time when you know that technology is available to tell you absolutely whether the ball was in or out.
Arlen Kantarian
It could be a way to signal the market that things are getting serious. I'd like to think they'd done better planning in terms of cash flow and the airline's operations. This would be a relatively new and troubling development.
George Hamlin
We could potentially deliberately deny students education, and I find that very, very troubling.
Sue Gamble
Investigate this troubling phenomenon and do whatever is necessary to bring it to an end.
Arsalan Iftikhar

Sean Matheson

Walter Harrison

Paul Bishop
When there is repeated behavior that violates rules, conducted by individuals in a leadership role ... we find that deeply troubling, and it's unacceptable.
Patti Spencer
This is a brazen violation of the Open Meeting Law. Everything I saw was very troubling.

Robert Greenstein
There's something about whatever despair and whatever negativity there is in your life, once you expel it, well, it's like praying, saying whatever's troubling you through your mouth, and hearing it through your ears, participating in your own despair makes it better. So we're not making it for you like a birthday cake, we're making it for ourselves.
Wayne Coyne
The fact that PFOA can cross the placenta from the mother to child is very troubling, given the fact that this is a chemical that is broadly toxic and linked to birth defects in lab animals.
Jane Houlihan
War crimes trials are always messy, but they must meet international standards, and holding this trial in absentia would be extremely troubling to a lot of people.
Miranda Sissons
Her efforts to limit lawsuits and access to the courts are troubling.

It is particularly troubling when variable annuities, which are designed for and sold to retail investors to save for retirement and purchase life insurance, are affirmatively marketed to professional market timers.
Mark Schonfeld
For Kimberly-Clark, it's troubling when the price increases for a major product category don't stick.
Jim Dorment
It's a little troubling. I think when you start scoring five or six goals a night, you get lulled into a false sense of belief. As a team, we let things slide. Maybe this stretch will help us get our heads screwed back on.
Mike Grier
Wages in Idaho are a troubling issue.
Beadsie Woo
The background ... makes it even more troubling that the 16 words eventually made it into the State of the Union speech, ... This was a mistake.
George Tenet

Steve Owens
A united humanity will be able to confront the many troubling problems of the present time: from the menace of terrorism to the humiliating poverty in which millions of human beings live, from the proliferation of weapons to the pandemics and the environmental destruction which threatens the future of our planet.
Benedict Xvi
Clearly, the Justice Department reviewed documents highlighting the importance of helping sexual assault victims prevent pregnancy. In light of this evidence, it is troubling that the protocols remain silent on the issue and fail to protect women.
Louise Melling
Residents and workers still await a proper toxic cleanup and medical response to the World Trade Center attack. That weak track record and the troubling new federal policies described in this report do not bode well for the future. Americans should assume that in any future national disaster, human health and safety may not be protected.
Suzanne Mattei
I don't believe the agency was acting independently, ... It's very troubling.
Susan Wood
She is a poet of great social consciousness and social awareness. She confronts things that are troubling in our society.
Laura White
The possibility that a small number of states with deeply troubling human rights records could block the creation of a more effective human rights body is not only ironic, it is disgraceful.
Peggy Hicks
It is really troubling that people can own a car without owning the information that is recorded by their vehicle. This bill will ensure that drivers have knowledge, ownership and control of the information recorded by their vehicles.
Ronald Mariano
DNA evidence has revealed a finite but troubling class of convictions tainted by what is best described as 'false facts': forensic evidence that likely carried great weight with the original jury, but which is now known, to a scientific certainty, to have been erroneous.
Peter Neufeld
Most employers don't want to reach into the private lives of employees. Smart employers want to cover themselves against troubling behavior. They don't want to create a big brother situation.

Dan Burton
John Roberts' record is extensive and troubling.
Debra L. Ness
One of the most troubling pieces of evidence (submitted by WRMA) was that 53.6 inches was at great odds with the documented information.

Elaine Pagels
It is the technical part of the performance which is troubling me more than the musical part.
Zubin Mehta
We've seen some troubling signs. Like almost every fish and shellfish that uses the bay, Pacific herring depend on a clean estuary with plenty of freshwater inflow to create productive brackish conditions. But as we ship more and more water south from the delta, we're endangering the herring and most other commercial species.
