Ann Alexander
It's just a more uncertain world out there, ... There is more of a possibility of losing something, a loved one or a child. Maybe too there's an increasing sense of powerlessness, that we don't have as much control over the world as we used to five or 10 years ago.
Piers Handling
In baseball, players don't like being shown up and umpires are professionals and we don't like to be shown up either. When he did it the second time I felt that he should be told in no uncertain terms it wasn't going to be tolerated.
Derrick Reed

Andreas Scheuerle
We should bear in mind that not all borrowers can or want to take a 30 year long loan. The age of retirement means that such loans are only suitable to those under 30. Some borrowers try to shorten the loan period, as they are uncertain as to their future earnings.

With insufficient supply to meet consumption, with uncertain political developments in the Middle East, with inflation worries slowly but surely increasing, and with emerging markets, who are historically strong buyers of gold, also booming, it is hardly surprising that gold is rising.

Lovemore Madhuku
I think they're absolutely terrific companies. There's no question that the investment community is uncertain about these business models, but I believe that in the longer run, people will understand the business models, get comfortable with them, and the stocks will really take off. It's a very exciting area.
William Epifanio
When the market is uncertain, it either drifts or goes down. Looking at the economic figures that we're seeing, it tells you that inflation is coming. I suspect the Federal Reserve will keep beating on it gradually.
Cummins Catherwood
It does highlight the innate tightness of energy supplies, not only in the U.S. and China but Europe too, and the general dependence on remote and politically uncertain sources of supply.
Roger Richards

Gary Dilts
It was 200 years ago that the folks who settled Watertown, the Coffeen's, the Massey's, et cetera, gathered here on this location and formed the beginnings of a community. We are what we are today because they were willing to take the chance and move here with their families, facing an uncertain future, no real livelihood, and probably a pretty foreboding environment.
Jeff Graham
This rule takes away the requirement Reliant has to serve all requesting customers. Instead, if someone goes to an electric company and that company doesn't want to serve them, unless they can find someone else quickly, they are sent to the provider of last resort where they'll be charged an uncertain price.
Randy Chapman
In uncertain markets, Alcatel's success will hinge on operating flexibility... considerable streamlining is underway at Alcatel to improve flexibility and realign its internal cost structure to the current business slowdown.

David Nonis

Toni Sacconaghi
To seek approval is to have no resting place, no sanctuary. Like all judgment, approval encourages a constant striving. It makes us uncertain of who we are and of our true value. Approval cannot be trusted. It can be withdrawn at any time no matter what our track record has been. It is as nourishing of real growth as cotton candy. Yet many of us spend our lives pursuing it.
Rachel Naomi Remen
The strong third-quarter sales and earnings results our stores delivered signify the continued strength of the home improvement consumer in an otherwise uncertain economic environment, ... ... Demographic and societal trends continue to provide longer-term opportunity for our company as Americans increase their focus on the comforts of home.
Robert Tillman
I want to say absolutely and unequivocally that Ms. Lewinsky told me in no uncertain terms that she did not have a sexual relationship with the president. At no time did I ever say, suggest or intimate to her that she should lie.
Vernon Jordan
About 42 percent of the growth in global demand is coming from China, where there is virtually no price sensitivity to demand. There's a huge relationship to income growth there, but a very uncertain relationship to price at all.
Jeffrey Rubin
Theatre has never been more necessary than now. We live in an uncertain, difficult, complex world. It's hard to find a way through. They (the children) see us as a friend.
Tony Graham
We are still uncertain what the policy is that the group will advocate for. Will it be only whatever the White House wants, or will it be independent policy goals formed by the members of the group?
Lee Culpepper
I am uncertain about shipping our products on time.
Fazlul Haque
OM has failed to address the serious concerns we have raised about their technology, financial track record and ownership control and governance, ... two unattractive alternatives: either even more shares of uncertain value or cash and even less influence.
Don Cruickshank
The emerging nuclear threat that we are facing in the world today leaves uncertain the force structure of nuclear-powered submarines of the future. If we close New London down, we would never get it back. I think it would be a tragic mistake, a tragic loss for this nation.
Anthony J. Principi
Clouds are even more uncertain than we thought.
Philip R. Goode

Emmanuel Ferry
Our outlook for the balance of the year remains quite cautious as we continue to face the uncertain economic environment, and as we rebound from the Sept. 11 event, ... Our team remains focused on maximizing our operating performance in this challenging retail environment by executing our customer focus strategy while appropriately adjusting operating expenses, inventory and capital spending.
Brad Martin
In uncertain market conditions, it remains difficult to predict the outcome for the full year. The final results will depend critically on market trends which have shown some deterioration in the past two months.
Eric Nicoli
It's a game with uncertain payoffs. The plaintiffs can keep playing, and risk not getting anything, or stop now and take a sure thing.
