Paramount Studios fourth-quarter feature film slate was weak as four of the five films released in the quarter failed to generate domestic grosses in excess of their respective budgets.

Vijay Jayant

It was a time of a very weak economy. So even though our advisers urged us to trim our sails, we didn't. And now the success will strengthen our entire institution.

Michael Bishop

At first they might be surprised. So if the student has a weak stomach, they don't have to be in there to watch it.

Jesse Garcia

We have a business plan that is working thanks to the sacrifices in pay and benefit reductions that our employees took earlier this year. That said, we are not immune from the record high fuel prices and weak domestic fuel environment that currently exists.

Ned Walker

Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity; but strong and deep ones have two high tides.

David Hare

We aren't protesting Home Depot and Wal-Mart, just the (city's) weak ordinance, ... It's criminal. This is (City Planner) Sam Jones' baby. He wrote 27 pages of the tree protection ordinance and this is what we got.

Alice White

Overall, the picture for the consumer in the U.K. does remain quite weak.

Michael Penn

We're going to get some weak numbers. The ISM report is going to be weak and that we're in store for a labor report that's weaker than what we've seen over the past four or five months.

Chris Wiegand

We were considered the weak link on this team. We kinda have a chip on our shoulders as a defense. People say we are going to score 40 and that we will give up 40. ... We're flying below the radar.

Danny Clark

We'd been weak on defending the run this season, so we focused on that some this week.

Bill Shaw

Sydney is acting as a major drag on the NSW economy and the weak update on major renovations is just one among a plethora of indicators pointing to NSW having slipped behind the pack.

Harley Dale

He called me to say the plane crashed and that I should alert the police, rescuers and such. He said he was alive but weak.

Michaela Farkasova

Usually in baseball, you don't expect to win this many games in a row whether you're playing great competition or weak competition, and we've played some good teams lately.

Chris Mcminn

Today's data is very weak, which adds to our concern about the prospects for consumer activity and the housing market in the months ahead.

James Knightley

As much as we had hoped that our reseller checks would have been more encouraging, the fact is simply that demand continues to remain weak, with no imminent rebound.

Toni Sacconaghi

The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head. Often the best part of your work will have nothing to do with potions and powders, but with the exercise of an influence of the strong upon the weak, of the righteous upon the wicked, of the wise upon the foolish.

Sir William Osler

The current account deficit shows that the dollar/won exchange-rate fall has meant deteriorating company profits, while savings have declined. The consumption recovery may soon be constrained by weak income growth.

Oh Suktae

Earnings actually have been very good in the second quarter. Sixty percent of the companies reporting so far have been upside surprises. That's not quite as aggressive at this point as the first quarter reports were, but still a very good performance in a weak quarter.

Ronald Hill

It's a fairly weak report.

Howard Roth

They had nothing to pin on these two guys. It was so weak.

Gloria Menzies

The whole team played well. There was not a weak link in our starting 11. We played hard, and we played strong.

Adrian Benziger

Right now we are in sort of a lull in the action. We have a weak upper ridge over the Hawaiian islands and that is helping to keep things relatively quiet now. We will get a chance to dry out a little bit before things turn wetter later in the weekend.

Bob Ballard

The Kyrgyz economy is weak, and we need to look at the payment conditions.

Kurmanbek Bakiyev

We wanted to front him. Going in, we thought he was about 6-foot-4. We didn't watch too much tape on him. We got here and he was 6-foot-6 and it was a surprise to me. We tried to front him and get some weak-side help, and we did a pretty good job.

Tyler Hersperger

The recent weak data should remind us that the exceptional gains in business confidence and new export orders may be overly optimistic.

Alexander Koch

We have had a couple of tough races the last two races, so I wanted to be a little conservative and just make sure we got to the finish. So I'd study the cars ahead and just focus on where they were weak, so I was able to make some good clean passes and move up pretty well.

Oswaldo Negri

I watched every minute of it. Sergio was looking kind of shaky early on the back nine and hit a weak shot in on 18, but I had faith.

Brett Bergman

Aristide created, inside the public administration, forces that were faithful to him. So Preval was accused of being weak. ... I think he was fearful of Aristide.

Claude Moise

Pre-Sept. 11, what we saw was a weak ad environment with indications that things might have been improving. Things were looking incrementally better. Not good yet, but incrementally better.

Peter Mirsky

If you rush the healing and rehab, the body won't heal correctly and you will end up with more problems than you started with. Coming back too quickly, you could retrain your brain to move in an unnatural way compensating for weak muscles (such as a limp or favoring a leg).

Fabio Comana

Worry not about the possible troubles of the future; for if they come, you are but anticipating and adding to their weight; and if they do not come, your worry is useless; and in either case it is weak and in vain, and a distrust of God's providence.

Hugh Blair

Overall, our hurricane season has been very quiet this year. We've had one weak tropical disturbance so far, at the beginning of August, that lasted a day or two.

Jim Weyman

Cooling housing markets will have a negative impact on consumer spending and employment. The dollar will be weak, as the U.S. economy is expected to slow down from now on.

Yuji Kameoka

America is a great power possessed of tremendous military might and a wide-ranging economy, but all this is built on an unstable foundation which can be targeted, with special attention to its obvious weak spots. If America is hit in one hundredth of these weak spots, God willing, it will stumble, wither away and relinquish world leadership.

Osama Bin Laden

Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.

Thomas S. Szasz

I wouldn't personally ascribe any of the weather we've seen to the weak La Nina.

Craig Clark

The numbers look okay. The EPS (earnings per share) is slightly better than what people were expecting due to lower depreciation and lower leavers costs, but trends in the business remain weak.

Stuart Gordon

People in power were brought up under the communist regime. All of this makes democracy weak and civil society still nascent.

Yevgeny Volk

You never want to lose, but this shows us what we need to work on. We didn't do what we needed to do early. They scored on a lot of our turnovers, and we were going up weak.

Lee Pipkin

Japan needs a weak yen. We have argued that case for months, and finally it is proving of merit.

Dennis Gartman

The decline today was a disappointing end to the year. The weak performance was attributable to weak Asian stocks as well as profit-taking after recent gains.

Alex Wong

I could never be with a woman during training. Because my knees would get very weak. My opinion is based on personal experience.

Floyd Patterson

Household confidence is very weak, suggesting household spending is vulnerable. We expect spreading weakness in retail spending as the year progresses.

Shamubeel Eaqub

The goal of Kremlin strategists appears to be a weak coalition government in Ukraine that will be more vulnerable to Russian economic pressure. One twin is looking to Moscow, the other to Washington. And they can't separate.

Masha Lipman

To me, they have some kind of mystique about them. They're like the (Atlanta) Braves. They may look weak one year on paper, but until you knock them off they are the team to beat.

Steve Pettus

I called her -- 'Here, kitty, kitty' -- and I could hear this faint, weak meow coming from behind the walls where they had just dry-walled.

Jany Chumas

We were terrible tonight. We got outworked, and when they scored that first goal, mentally we got weak. We got down and I haven't really seen that from this team. It's a little adversity for us and that's good. They're a very good hockey team.

Glen Gulutzan

To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn't.

Primo Levi

The bears came out this week and didn't spook everyone off. When the market was too weak, there were buyers and as long as there are buyers on weakness we're OK.

Charles Payne

These numbers were really weak. Most people had expected that the economy would continue to do well. The market is a bit startled.

Orun Palit

Last Friday's unexpectedly weak employment report caused interest rates on long-term Treasury bonds and, by extension mortgage rates, to fall as investors worried about the health of the U.S. economy.

Amy Crews Cutts

They'd rather see the dollar weak against the euro.

Michael Spencer

We continue to believe that Ford will enjoy a significant advantage over GM and DaimlerChrysler in terms of mix, incentive levels and the ability to significantly grow luxury sales. Ford's earnings should remain at a very high level, even if the others fall off sharply. Ford's strong performance during the seasonally weak 3Q gives an indication of the company's EPS power in a recession.

Nicholas Lobaccaro

I'm fairly bearish on the sector and I think industry sales will be weak throughout the end of the year and possibly even into early 2001. So I'm not recommending very many stocks -- just one stock, actually, in the group right now.

Linda Kristiansen

World growth is increasing, although it is still quite weak. But together with the sharp slide of the euro and the low interest rates, this will have a positive impact on exports and production in Germany.

Alexander Mollerus

Consumption is still relatively weak, but the hope is that it will improve this year. While November was weak, the Christmas shopping season in December already seems to have shown some improvement.

Bernd Weidensteiner

It is easier to influence strong than weak characters in life.

Margot Asquith

If figures in the jobs data are stronger than expected, 10-year treasuries could rise to 5 percent with sentiment already weak.

Hiroki Shimazu

Despite the fact that December fell off a cliff and January appears weak as well, the company is more than holding its own.

Jim Meyer

The central bank is reaffirming its strategy that it will only buy dollars when it's attractive. If you know that in three or four days, on Monday or Tuesday, the dollar will get back to a weaker path, why buy today if you can buy next weak at a cheaper price?

Mario Battistel

Roberts' weak assurances that he brings 'no ideology' and 'no agenda' to the court are similar to assurances made previously by other Supreme Court justices. Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, Bush's proclaimed model judges, similarly promised in their hearings to bring no agenda to the court.

Vicki Saporta

The problem is that we're weak on three of the needs and losing our franchise on the fourth. It's very clear that more and more people are moving to the new media to get their news.

Margaret Duffy

Banks are weak across the board and that's really the belief that the economy is slowing and anxiety about the risk of some their loans.

Peter Chandler

While it is difficult to anticipate unanticipated events, investors could become increasingly concerned about oil, earnings and interest rates -- the trio of trepidation -- in the traditionally weak third quarter.

Sam Stovall

As we head into 2006 we continue to face low cost carrier competition in our domestic markets, a weak domestic fare environment, high fuel costs, and we expect to report a significant loss in the first quarter of 2006.

Larry Kellner

The guidelines that now exist are very weak and operate at the margins. They lack monitoring, and, for the most part, they lack teeth.

David Rothman

Our friends' weak language has stumbled and fallen.

Randy Thomasson

Earnings expectations have been a bit high and, given the disappointments in the U.S., those expectations have been toned down. That's going to help keep the market weak.

Koji Uchida

[The cancer treatment, combined with a bout of flu last year, left Farrakhan feeling] weak and drained, ... He was not his usual, energetic self.

Abdul Alim

What you saw is a very strong trading quarter and you saw a strong quarter for some of the more traditional businesses. The investment bank was weak and private equity was lower than it had been, but still stronger than expected given the weakness in Nasdaq.

Chip Dickson

When there is a weak auction, it sometimes means investors will step aside and wait for deals in the secondary market.

Tony Crescenzi

Our achievements in the Turin Games are a big encouragement. We will strengthen the disciplines we are traditionally strong at and try to make breakthroughs in the weak ones.

Xiao Tian

Newspaper revenue was a bit weak, but television was in line. Better-than-expected margins in the newspaper division drove the upside surprise.

Paul Ginocchio

Overall, we found results in the quarter to be generally weak, but believe the strong market reaction was justified given the anticipated completion of the Guidant vascular acquisition.

Glenn Reicin

Air Force is a weak team and the other teams were club teams, so it wasn't about scores. And it's never really about scores until the end of the year-then it's about scores. But right now, it's about performances.

Barry Weiner

[In late 2003, Nokia started losing ground to its rivals after failing to gauge the popularity of folding phones and models with cameras and other new features.] We put it down to the three Cs: Nokia was weak in color, camera and clamshell, which were the three boom areas in 2003 and early 2004, ... It was quite a way behind the curve on those.

Neil Mawston

He might have gotten up there, and with him being weak from fasting, he was just overcome.

John Gadd

If Democrats want to argue that the administration misrepresented and distorted the prewar intelligence, OK, that's one thing. But if they push the argument that they have been duped, fooled and victimized - well, to a lot of [independent swing] voters, they're just going to come across as weak.

Charlie Cook

Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.

Juvenal

The weak spot is not where it used to be. Now it's in new places, and we know where those are.

Mike Gotterba

This government is going to survive. But it will be weak.

Carlos Larreategui

He was willing to do whatever was required in order to be the serial killer that he was, ... He's like the wolf preying on the weak sheep.

Robert Mcclure

Unlikely a valid trademark. ... The mark is a weak one as trademarks go.

Denny Chin

The payroll figures are telling us the U.S. economy is exceptionally weak, and the weakness goes beyond anything that is associated with geopolitical risk and the other excuses we've had.

John Shepherd

The Kyrgyz Republic is located in Central Asia on a major migratory flyway path and the current capacity in the country to monitor migratory birds and potential transmission of disease to local poultry and among local poultry is very weak. This is definitely a country that needs assistance immediately.

Juergen Voegele

The auto numbers were looking like they might, on the receipts side, have been a bit weak for January. But what we're looking at is a bounce from a fairly weak 'ex-autos' number in December.

Tim O'neill

He jumped all over my weak serves and didn't give me any real room to breathe. He kept too much pressure on me the entire match.

Sam Jonas

The bottom line is that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And I have to believe from past experience and knowledge that some of the links in Homeland Security are weak. Part of the story in "Lost Light" is about a weak link in the chain.

Michael Connelly

We asked them to take over responsibility for our summer shows. They've taken on responsibilities where we were weak.

Marie Dusini

Sentiment on this name is pretty weak. It's not like in prior years, where meeting estimates wouldn't do it. It's not a great blowout quarter by any stretch of the imagination, but they were able to show a little growth from the fourth quarter and that's at least a good sign.

Darren Chervitz

Weak economic figures give cause for concern over the Fed's rate increases. I had thought the data on foreign investment was not so important up to now, but amid the dollar-bearish sentiment, this could be yet another dollar-selling catalyst.

Tadahiko Nashimoto

We're delivering solid profitability while maintaining lean channel inventories in a weak economic environment, ... Our balance sheet remains very strong, with over $4.2 billion in cash, and we are targeting a slight sequential increase in revenues and earnings per share in the September quarter.

Alfred Anderson

I thought the number would not be this weak.

Nicholas Heymann

Let us speak, though we show all our faults and weaknesses, -for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it - not in a set way and ostentatiously, though, but incidentally and without premeditation.

Herman Melville

These stocks which usually benefit from a weak yen couldn't react to it yesterday because the overall market was dragged down by the falling banking sector.

Hiroshi Sato

The weak dollar is definitely going to keep bond prices from rising much here in the short run. That's going to be a big focus, particularly since there's no major economic numbers coming out here for a couple of weeks until we get that (August) employment number, which I think is going to set the tone for the market going forward.

Alfred Kugal

Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.

William Blake

Given the extremely weak data this morning, sterling has fallen quite sharply.

Naeem Wahid

I won't lay charges because I was not injured. The man's punch is as weak as his explanation for ripping off this rural community. It is enough that my assailant disgraced himself and his company in front of government representatives and the community.

Richard Spoor

St. Paul is Exhibit A of the damage the president's weak political standing is having on his allies. The only difference is one has a George W. mask on and the other one doesn't.

Larry Jacobs

Multinational/trust banks will probably broadly deliver on Wall Street estimates. However, we expect the quality of earnings to be poor as securities gains and other unusual items will commonly be used to offset weak trading results.

Judah Kraushaar

Putting beautiful typefaces on weak ad .. Is likePutting make-up on a corpse it may look beautiful,But it is still dead.

Stavros Cosmopulos

[Friday's] data clearly indicate that U.S. manufacturing may not be quite at a bottom. The weakness is led by computers and electronic equipment, but other categories are weak also.

Mary Webb

I know that theater people often have very simplistic view of politics and tend to express very black and white patriotic sentiments but perhaps that is because we know the value of illusion, how it can help strengthen the weak, and stimulate the weary.

Franco Zeffirelli

We've seen some existing home sales figures starting to look weak or negative. That's usually followed by a slowdown in sales at Home Depot or Lowe's after a six- to nine-month lag.

Stephen Chick

We're 24-0 underdogs, because we come from what people say is a weak league. We're going to do some damage at state.

Romeo Wheeler

The speech just showed that Lula is weak and he doesn't know how to punish his friends.

Joao Medeiros

Ethics laws in this state are weak.

James Perry

What killed people during the outbreak in 1918 was not a weak immune system. An over-response from their own immune system known at ARDS killed them. They drowned in their own fluid.

Laurie Garrett

Brian Blake appears to us to have the perfect background from his 17 years at Gucci in product areas where Burberry is still relatively weak, that is accessories and watches.

Claire Kent

Sentiment is weak as shares continue to consolidate February gains. The trend will be somewhat like this in the near term.

Jackson Wong

I do, yes, I do. Sick have I become. Old and weak. When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not. Hmm?

Frank Oz

Bellingham's pretty tough. They're solid all the way through. They don't seem to have any weak spots.

Jeff Thomas

Yesterday she was feeling very weak, she was tired and she was hungry as well, ... And my mom said this morning when she called she was real high-spirited, she was able to talk a little louder, and she was excited.

Jessica Lynch

Profits should be lower in 2006, mainly because of the weak first quarter. However we are likely to see some improvement in the second quarter.

Liang Mingchao

They put pressure on us and got to us a few times. They hit us where we are weak.

Jason White

The one thing we always hear is that we're weak in the secondary. That's not accurate. We're getting better every game. We wanted to prove that we could step up and stop deep balls.

Darnell Bing

Face fundamental challenges, including excess capacity, declining demand, mounting inventories and weak prices.

Prince Albert

The Bank of Japan's feeble 10 basis-point rate cut to 0.15 percent shows the head-in-sand attitude that has led to weak money supply growth and a slow economy.

Tony Crescenzi

He'd been ill for about a year. He was a heavy drinker and smoker and he had problems with his heart. He was wasting away. By the end, it was a relief because he was in so much pain and he was so weak. He died in the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy and we were all there.

Craig Reid

After discarding the evidence that is too inherently weak or vague for any sensible person to rely on it, prosecution evidence is such that a reasonable jury or court martial board properly directed could never reach the high standard of proof required to be sure of the guilt of any defendant.

Jeff Blackett

Most tennis players have a bomb for a forehand and are weak in their backhand, but I've always been the opposite. We've really started working on my forehand and it's starting to pay off.

Lauren Herring

Communism is inequality, but not as property is. Property is exploitation of the weak by the strong. Communism is exploitation of the strong by the weak.

Pierre joseph Proudhon

There may be a period where attitudes might change, especially if the dollar remains strong and they can save money shopping here. It could be that it just may take a while for Canadians to begin looking at the U.S. again. The Canadian dollar was weak for several years, and if they have been able to find what they need, there may not be a strong motivation to shop in the U.S.

Hart Hodges

In terms of the yen, we think there still remains the carry trade. The yen looks weak today.

Richard Grace

I chose bars because I knew that was our weak point. We followed with the beam, which is our second-weakest event. I thought if we could start on bars and get something rolling there that we'd be in good shape. It worked out perfectly. We didn't have any problems on bars. Nicole got a 7.8 without a dismount. If her foot would've allowed her to dismount, she would've gotten an 8.8.

Mark Hartley

We are going to focus on getting better each day, get the most out of every practice, and look to get better in the areas we are weak.

Sam Paul

It was a very weak case. I'm very happy because from the beginning these two kids were innocent.

Gloria Menzies

He would pick weak, defenseless people. That's why the trooper wasn't hurt. I really believe that.

Jim Boback

The weak are more likely to make the strong weak than the strong are likely to make the weak strong.

Marlene Dietrich

The value set by her people on the freedom and sanctity of the individual, on justice and fair play, on mercy and tenderness towards the weak, and their dislike of lawless violence and their capacity to tolerate, forget and forgive have been, for all England's past mistakes and faults, a very real factor in human evolution.

Arthur Bryant

I felt a little weak, but I wasn't throwing my fastball where I needed it. It all snowballed from there.

Brian Harrington

He was remarkably brave in battle, but he also wanted recognition for this, and was remarkably weak in his personal life. He'd face the French and Spanish fleet much easier than he would face his first wife.

Michael Grist

We know exactly where our holes are [and] the U.S. is an important issue. Limiting this company to an Italian-German combination would create a weak competitor.

Ron Sommer

We were able to take advantage of their weak-side running game. It started off with the first play of the game, and we just continued to do that.

Shaun O'hara

People were expecting weak retail sales, they were already in the stocks.

Jim Volk

For me to get worried about the stock market, you have to show me signs that corporate bonds are getting weak and all this debt coming due isn't going to be rolled over. If you can't roll the debt over, you have to start valuing stocks on an asset basis. If you can roll it over, you have to start valuing it on an operating earnings basis. There's a huge difference in price between those two.

Brian Reynolds

The figures show that the economy has climbed out of a weak patch and that the underlying trend in capital spending is very strong.

Seiji Adachi

He was weak, very tired, but he was able to speak, able to stand. He was very relieved. He was very thirsty. He was in good spirits.

Louie Fernandez

Comcast is trying to steal Disney when the company is at a weak moment.

Brad Ruderman

It was a somewhat weak rally in the euro anyway and it wasn't a move that was substantiated by the trade figures.

Jeff Gladstein

Strong people make as many and as ghastly mistakes as weak people. The difference is that strong people admit them, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they become strong.

Richard J. Needham

I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman. But I have the heart and stomach of a king - and of a King of England.

Queen Elizabeth

We have to note that the regime continues to control the army and security services, the Syrian opposition is very weak and America is bogged down in Iraq.

Patrick Seale

As a team, we played very good as far as our team defense. We tried to work on our weak-side help because we knew we were lacking in that aspect. I just think we tried to hustle and do our best. Down the stretch, we need to work on our defense a little better. We didn't get enough stops toward the end.

Paul Delaney

Hoffmann has to have a full rich voice with good flexibility. And what is difficult about the role is that stamina is required. Often tenors can not sustain that hard full range of singing, ... but Stephen (Mark Brown) is excellent. We have a very even cast here. There are no weak singers.

Prentice Loftin

Until now we have not had a close-up view of the precise surface where the two proteins interact. That surface is absolutely crucial in permitting the parasite to enter the cell. If we can determine its features in atomic detail, we may be able to find weak points that could make good targets for drugs.

Amit Sharma

The inner speech, your thoughts, can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

Ralph Charell

Burkina is one of those countries that have particularly weak infrastructure.

Maria Zampaglione

Consumer oriented chip companies are seeing more strength now. The rest of tech is still pretty weak.

Apjit Walia

You are going to be arguing about issues that we all saw Democrats paid a heavy price for in the last election. Democrats have a tremendous opportunity right now to hit Bush where he's weak, which is on oil prices and the war. Don't hit him where he's strong, which is these values issues.

Leon Panetta

His excuse is weak, he just wants to learn how to do it... That's pretty ominous and obviously suggests some sort of hijacking plan.

Harry Samit

The opportunities for heroism are limited in this kind of world: the most people can do is sometimes not to be as weak as they've been at other times.

Angus Wilson

He has a habit of picking a weak enemy and berating them.

Felipe Noguera

The earnings quality was weak because the earnings growth was driven by lines that are very hard to forecast or unpredictable like trading incomes and acquired loan portfolios. These were the lines that really drove the earnings results and were unusually high this quarter.

Mario Pierry

They're making strides with new ads and new drinks, but there are still a lot of weak spots in Europe and volumes in the U.S. haven't been impressive.

Amy Bonkoski

China's trade surplus has become a structural feature of the economy, so while political pressure may grow, the economic argument for a stronger yuan is weak.

Tim Condon

This may be good for Asahi, but it doesn't change weak economic fundamentals and the fact that no viable policy concerning the sour-loan dilemma has emerged from the government.

Hidenori Karaki

Yes, I did make the mistake of running away from a police officer because I had a warrant. Granted, I'm on this side of the glass too, which makes my credibility somewhat weak. I would agree with that and I could see that. But what the officers did that night, there's no call for that.

Neil Morris

Then must you strive to be worthy of her love. Be brave and pure, fearless to the strong and humble to the weak; and so, whether this love prosper or no, you will have fitted yourself to be honored by a maiden's love, which is, in sooth, the highest guerdon which a true knight can hope for.

Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

Early indications of consumer demand for the holiday season are not strong at this point, and although we have pockets of opportunity -- driven mostly by our specific product programs -- they may not be enough to offset weak end-user demand for this quarter.

Brian L. Halla

The doctor is with her now. She was not feeling well after inspection this morning. She was a bit weak.

Ozren Mueller

Whether we should have been in Iraq or not, we must do everything we can to make sure we do not send the jihadists a signal that America is weak. I didn't support this war, but I support its appropriate conclusion. That does not include cutting and running.

Alcee Hastings

While fleet sales have been cushioning the blow of weak retail sales, particularly for Ford and Chrysler in February, the Big Three have been promising to de-emphasize this side of the business and headline numbers could suffer as a result.

Peter Nesvold

The dollar will remain supported for the time being so long as central banks overseas continue to intervene to keep their currencies weak against the U.S. dollar.

Michael Woolfolk

One of the things recessions do is uncover weak links. When you're in a strong economy, a bull market, you can paper over a lot of things. When you get under some strain, these things show up.

Lakshman Achuthan

The big standout was US cards -- weak even excluding the charge, due to margin compression and a big drop in receivables.

Glenn Schorr

Retail sales have shown tentative signs of a modest recovery from weak levels, but in our view a continuing threat remains the weakness of the labor market ... which may slow the pace of consumer spending.

Michael Penn

The inventory numbers were pretty tame so the market is continuing with its overall downtrend tend. Distillate demand should be weak. There is no cold weather out there and unless you are in North Dakota it looks like that should continue for the next two weeks.

Aaron Kildow

A weak defensive start led to strong opponent shooting. Defensively we could have worked harder to cut down the perimeter shooting.

Dale Erickson

The thing to watch now, once the 15 minutes' 'noise' after the number is out of the way, is whether there will be a resumption of the weak dollar trend.

Jens Nordvig

First, we will give them a two-week rest and then we have to try to get some more guys to come in to strengthen some weak areas and fill those gaps that we have. That is one of our first goals.

Kenville Layne

All these things worked together to cause the market turnaround. There was a sense that the selling had been way, way overdone beyond any rationale. The economy is still weak and the Fed is going to ease.

Anthony Karydakis

It said to a lot of people that as an institution, the Legislature is weak, and as a political force, groups like the CTA are strong.

Tim Hodson

Dell had some very good numbers in what has been a weak quarter for tech, but the results are more indicative of their success in gaining market share. There is nothing in their statement that implies IT (information technology) spending has picked up.

Walter Winnitzki

When you start tying all these systems together, it becomes a chain, and there's always the chance you'll have weak links. What happens, for example, when you rely on an application that feeds the shop floor system the bit of information you're looking for and that application fails?

Bo Foster

As one who fought in all of Israel's wars, and learned from personal experience that without proper force, we do not have a chance of surviving in this region, which does not show mercy towards the weak, I have also learned from experience that the sword alone cannot decide this bitter dispute in this land.

Ariel Sharon

We were previously looking for revenue of $16.1 million and earnings per share of one cent. Weak demand for PCs and flat-panel displays were cited as the culprits.

Charlie Glavin

With retailing and manufacturing both very weak, the fact that services are slowing is particularly worrying.

Ian Mccafferty

That problem left me weak emotionally and made dealing with the pressures of the pastorate more difficult. We're often some of the loneliest people you can find.

Stan James

The culled-cohort theory is based on the assumption that it is not in the mother's interest to have small or weak male offspring during times of stress. Weak males are less likely to survive to age of reproduction. Even if they do survive, they must then compete with strong males for females.

Ralph Catalano

With the economy weak and fuel prices still relatively high, we and the rest of the industry were experiencing a very difficult financial quarter even before the September 11 attacks. But the attacks and their aftermath further weakened traffic and had a staggering effect on our overall financial performance.

Don Carty

We shouldn't have lost this game. We came out weak and should have come out strong. We got a lesson tonight, but there's no reason you have to lose a game to learn a lesson.

Shanté Collins

She is not capable of even looting it the way the store was at the time. You had to jump over a counter, and she is a diabetic and weak-muscled and wouldn't be able to get herself over it. And she couldn't afford to step on broken glass.

Naisha Williams

No more turning away from the weak and the weary. No more turning away from the coldness inside. Just a world that we all must share. It's not enough just to stand and stare. Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away.

David Gilmore

It was an unusually good first quarter because of oil demand spilling over from last year, but that will fall away in the second quarter, which will be pretty weak.

Martin Stopford

Unless you are actually given that check-off list, or the list of resources, you're not going to know, and that's where I believe we're weak.

Stanlyn Placencia

The nascent recovery in domestic demand is neither strong enough to warrant an immediate reversal of the August cut, nor weak enough to prompt back-to-back rate cuts.

Andrew Mclaughlin

There's not much to say, volume is low, and the market is weak.

Tomi Taterka

Mobile growth came to some extent at the expense of desk-based PCs. Emerging regions had steady desk-based PC growth, however it could not offset the very weak desk-based PC growth in the mature regions.

Charles Smulders

I don't know how good we will end up overall this season, but I've been nothing less than enthused with the progress from where we came from, ... Last year, we were very weak, had only a couple of starters and fought our way to a 4-6 season. We've come a country mile since then.

Brent Miller

There are a lot of companies that go through seasonally strong and weak periods, but (their stocks) don't necessarily perform better or worse during these peaks and valleys.

Mark Cavallone

We didn't see any surprises in January, considering the weak yen and the incentive environment.

Ronald Zarrella

Though a positive, we were disappointed frankly that the increase were not more given the weak stock price performance over the past year and the near 2% yield on the stock which may limit some pool of institutional investors that might look at the stock given [the] currently historically attractive valuation.

Scott Flower

One day it will be great, and other days it will be weak. I just have to monitor myself, which is hard because you want to be there for your team, but at the same time you have to think long-term.

Brittany Hunter

Although the company has yet to comment, we suspect weak mainframe sales and perhaps lackluster sales in Europe beyond the currency effects.

Sarah Mattson

The large cap tech stocks in particular are really looking very, very attractive right now. At the moment, the small investor can start to step in, albeit slowly, because when these things begin, they don't typically turn right around. We could be looking at you know a weak quarter. But some of the large cap quality growth companies look very attractive right now.

Grace Fey

We are in the midst of a weak economy. That means fewer jobs and fewer people with coverage.

Paul Fronstin

Germany in general has stayed united with the other two partners, but is considered sort of the weak link, ... My guess is that (Merkel's) Christian Democrats might be marginally more in line with the U.S. position.

Dana Allin

It's a weak circumstantial case, and at the very least, I think an appellate court should review it.
