He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself.
William Shakespeare

The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness.
Adolf Hitler
Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after.
Alexander Pope
A weaker yen will put substantial downward pressure on inflation and will result in lower interest rates. A stronger dollar also means that U.S. assets are more attractive, once you buy them.
Kevin Harris
If we get a big kick start to the quarter with a strong April, that could offset us being a bit weaker than we expected to be in the first quarter.
Bob Schnorbus
What a mistake to suppose that the passions are strongest in youth! The passions are not stronger, but the control over them is weaker! They are more easily excited, they are more violent and apparent; but they have less energy, less durability, less intense and concentrated power than in the maturer life.
Edward G. Bulwer lytton
We are disappointed with these results. The combined effects of weaker demand in the industry segments we serve, seasonality and longer customer purchase-decision cycles all had a greater negative effect on our quarter than we anticipated.
Dave House
Things like this typically bring down a lot of small companies. It's (financially) draining and it has impeded our growth considerably. If this were a weaker product line, our company wouldn't have survived.
Ceo Charles Fust
We're expecting operating profits to increase by 20% [to $4.4 billion] for the quarter, aided by strong sales in the U.S. and Asia and the weaker yen.
Tsuyoshi Mochimaru
Broadly speaking, dollar/Asia still has some way to go on the weaker side.
Lim Su Sian
Sentiment seems to be more upbeat at the moment but bear in mind much of the improvement in earnings has come from restructuring, as companies take action to deal with lower sales and weaker pricing power.
Gert De Mesure
There's nothing wrong in the quarterly results. They just happened to come on a day when the dollar is weaker, which is not helping.
Stephan Droxner
The exposure of such, either firms or aircraft, just undoes years of cover building and makes America weaker.
Michael Scheuer
Given the weaker outlook, we expect the 2001 consensus estimate of $1.76 to come down substantially.
Jonathan Joseph
The Treasury market likes the headline because it was weaker than what it thought.
Joe Lavorgna
If you have the right offer at the right price, you can enjoy the luxury of pricing integrity. If you are a bit weaker but ahead of the game, you can use some good promotions. But if you're really struggling, you are probably going to have to go on sale, and that's really going to affect your margins.
Richard Hyman
Although weaker than expected, interpretation of the release is clouded by the unusual drop in food sales in August and, as is often the case, the MPC will be waiting for the next month's release to get a better picture of the underlying trend.
Gwyn Hacche
The headline was better than expected and this may be the catalyst the market needed to begin a round of pre-weekend dollar short-covering, based on the moves over the last couple of days for a generally weaker dollar.
Aaron Simpson
The weaker the State is, the less power it has to commit crime.
Jeffrey Tucker
The impeachment results do not necessarily mean that the president is strong. He is not. The results just mean that the opposition to the president is even weaker than most of us expected it to be.
Andrei Kortunov
In the past I think you had that (weaker) fourth-place team, so if you were first-place, then you really felt good about being in the finals. But now Neumann's the type of team that if you don't show up, they're going to beat you. So it's definitely a weekend where there could be an upset.
Kevin Houle
Weaker job creation weakens the Canadian dollar. The Bank of Canada may be a little less active in 2006.
Clement Gignac
There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Durable goods order tends to be a more prominent leading indicator. I expect a weaker number, so I am bullish on Treasuries.
Akira Takei
With our team this year, it was kind of a struggle for us, everyone knows we're a young team, we're up and down. We've beaten good teams and lost to weaker teams here and there and struggled to find consistency. So it's great that we've come this far.
Jonathan Toews
A May rate cut is more likely than not, but the Bank is likely to need to see ongoing signs of lower-than-expected targeted inflation as well as weaker than expected Q1 GDP growth.
Alan Castle
He's a valuable player. He's one of the top three on the team, so we had a much weaker team this week.
Alejandro Canizares
They (the MAS) have reset the mid-point of the band to today's level of the NEER and given we were in the weaker end of the band that means they are locking in some of the Singapore dollar's recent weakness.
David Simmonds
Also, with uncertainty about the direction of the U.S. economy, and a weaker dollar, that actually fares well for gold. A lower dollar makes it less expensive for traders overseas to exchange gold.
Amaury De Barros Conti
The euro was a little weaker today, so that took gold a little lower.
Billy Flahive
[But adding nifty features this late in the game might not be enough.] You're going to see consolidation occur really quickly, ... The weaker players will die on the vine.
John Chang
In the near term, there is a bit of support for the front end, due to these weaker numbers.
Cyril Beuzit
The size of this charge reflects both much weaker demand forecasted over the next 12 months as well as the costs for certain commitments that Cisco felt obliged to fulfill.
Michael Ching
The weaker the man in authority... the stronger his insistence that all his privileges be acknowledged.
Austin O'Malley
Even at these weaker levels we still consider tobacco company paper unacceptably risky.
Carol Levenson
Assad did not want the political order in the Middle East (to be) dominated by Israel, ... He wanted a balance of power in order to keep the peace. He felt an imbalance causes war because the stronger partner always tries to impose his will on the weaker.
Patrick Seale
The healthy global economy is supporting export growth, as is the yen, which has been weaker than last year.
Koji Kobayashi
The other thing is that with the war on, kids may not have been able to tear their parents away from the television sets. That could have been a factor for some chains, like Hot Topic, coming in with weaker sales. Basically teens are very image conscious. Summer holidays are coming up, and they want to look good. Teen niche retailers are going to see sales go up heading into the summer.
Jennifer Black
Sugar prices in the past few months have pulled back because of the weaker oil price. Now that oil is at around $70 a barrel, sugar has to follow.
Christoph Eibl
Mazda, like other automakers, is benefiting from the weaker yen. Currently they don't have many new models, but next fiscal year starting in April, they will release new SUV models in the U.S., which should help its earnings and sales.
Norihito Kanai
Walgreen appears to be gaining share from weaker chains, while 2006 should see benefits from the higher-profit generic transition cycle and potential Medicare traffic.
Stephen Chick
So far this year the market has suffered from two things; firstly a surge in demand for diesel cars distorting the market at the end of 2005 and secondly weaker consumer confidence.
Christopher Macgowan
GDP is looking a lot weaker than we had anticipated and that should keep the Reserve Bank on hold for a fair while.
Brian Redican
This is the first time in a long time when Airbus was a bit weaker and the defense and space divisions compensated. The outlook is for €3.2 billion to €3.4 billion, but we are looking for the upper end of the range.
Scott Babka
We knew they didn't set the middles all that much and that's one of our weaker points, be able to block the middle. They dug a lot of balls and we weren't able to step it up with our passing.
Shane Davis
Output was slightly weaker than expected, but I wouldn't worry too much.
Seiji Adachi
Oil is at new highs and then you get a number like this at a time when the market was predisposed to concerns about softness in the economy. We still expect a weaker dollar. The dollar bear story is coming into focus.
Jeffrey Young
The bank sector is a bit weaker here, with NAB and CBA coming of their highs, and of course Westpac are ex-dividend, so that has obviously had an effect on the index.
Jamie Spiteri
Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.
Frank Herbert
Both robust global demand and a weaker sterling in the months ahead should allow the external sector to provide growth with a slightly positive contribution this year.
Asmara Jamaleh
Chirac seems completely out of the loop. It's all very strange. As a doctor, I can't say whether he's in bad physical shape. But as a citizen, I can say he looks weaker and weaker.
Bernard Kouchner
Higher inflation will mean weaker consumer demand and that will keep core inflation under control.
Jacques Cailloux
A rise in global demand, the relatively low cost of capital and a weaker rand have all helped lift manufacturing.
Michael Keenan
It looks like some of our competitors are going to get a bit stronger and you've got a background where the consumer is a little bit weaker. Together with cost pressures on things like energy, that means it's going to be a challenging year.
Andrew Higginson
I feel that although there are less teams, competition hasn't gotten any weaker. It is still going to be as hard and as competitive to get the top spot.
Kaitlin Carey
The weaker the data available upon which to base one's conclusion, the greater the precision which should be quoted in order to give the data authenticity.
Norman R. Augustine
He (her father) figured out I'm not going to see anything on the inside and if I did, I could still turn on it. It seems like that's just what teams do because they figure you are weaker hitting the outside pitch.
Ashley Hanewich
Employment is likely to be much weaker going forward and the jobless rate will keep rising as the economy cools. Interest rates are on hold.
Jarrod Kerr
We definitely needed some more leadership. We beat a lot of good teams last year. And then we'd lose against some of the weaker ones. I think that was because of focus a lot of times. The guys we've brought in, they're very intense. That's going to rub off.
Mike Van Ryn
Investors are pretty much focused on the home sales figures today. Weaker data will reduce expectations for further rate hikes in the U.S.
Michiyoshi Kato
We're seeing a weaker dollar mainly because of position covering.
Todd Elmer
The market is wondering whether U.S. growth can maintain the current rate, and a weaker reading than expected for GDP will pressure the dollar.
Akifumi Uchida
Further evidence that the US rate-tightening cycle may be approaching a pause was provided yesterday by a weaker-than-expected ISM report on the manufacturing sector and the release of a dovish set of minutes from the Fed's December meeting.
Simon Rubinsohn
The weaker sex, to piety more prone.
William Alexander
I like to be the aggressive one. I was able to push it to his weaker side. It pushed him off his game and forced him to make the mistakes. He had his share of winners and good shots.
Matt Mcgranaghan
Because we felt Freedom was a little weaker we tried a few things we wouldn't normally try in a close game. You have to see how your runners are going to do in these non-district games. The hit the ball well and they listened well.
Janice Gillespie
The economic figures, especially those on consumer confidence, turned out weaker than I expected and they're negative for stocks . You need to be cautious and selective with technology stocks.
Nobuyoshi Tsumori
It's just that if you're not disruptive everything seems to be repeated endlessly - not so much the good things but the bland things - the ordinary things - the weaker things get repeated- the stronger things get suppressed and held down and hidden.
Robert Adamson
Weaker openings are expected across Europe this morning, Friday's sell-off in the U.S. happened in earnest towards the end of their trading day which to an extent protected the European cash markets (as they had already closed). Their negative reaction is anticipated this morning.
Robert Wallis
The market, looking for a move down to 85 in the Michigan data, is maybe not pricing in the full risk of a significant slow-down...I think the dollar is vulnerable to a weaker number.
Steve Barrow
An athlete who uses banned substances comes under this principle and therefore I would not support measures to render our legislation -- which is one of the most just and severe in the world -- weaker for people who use (banned) substances.
Gianfranco Fini
The testosterone that flows through the hot line in the kitchen is unbelievable. Women are considered weaker and were always pushed off to pastry.
Claudia Fleming
Anything that hints of a weaker top line doesn't play too well with the Street. We believe there's a tad bit of disconnect, and the modest contraction in the stock has created a good buying opportunity.
John Boris
You must remember to compare benefits versus costs. For the foreseeable future, the only affordable alternatives are coal, natural gas, oil or nuclear. Renewable sources - solar, wind, etc. - so favored by the left remain prohibitively expensive. A nation becomes weaker, not stronger, by artificially overspending on costly, inefficient alternatives to fossil fuels.
Larry Elder
We delivered another record quarter, reflecting strong double-digit earnings growth consistent with our objectives, even though pre-currency revenue growth - at 7 percent - was clearly affected by some weaker economies.
Paul Allaire
The software market remains highly competitive and our fourth quarter results were mixed by geography. We saw double-digit growth in the Americas, where we believe we gained market share in both the fourth quarter and full year. This was partially offset by weaker results in Europe.
Mark Loughridge
Modestly weaker-then-expected capital goods orders data suggest a slight shift in growth toward Q4 away from Q1 but the simple fact is that the data clearly suggests that factories are going to be humming throughout Q1.
Drew Matus
Overall, we achieved solid results in 2005, with strong income growth in our tobacco businesses partially offset by weaker results in food.
Louis Camilleri
For the Presidents Cup team for the International side, it's a huge loss. You know he's either going to win or he's going to halve pretty much all his matches. It really makes the International team a little bit weaker, but on the other side, we all hope for a fast recovery.
Robert Allenby
There is a risk today (Thursday) of euro/dollar trading weaker and of a test of the resistance area around 1.2200/1.2170 dollars, particularly if the US data is better than expected.
Gavin Friend
I am getting the sneaking suspicion that there is an inventory situation going on here, which means that growth could be even weaker. That is a bit troubling to me.
Joe Lavorgna
Cisco is very strong where they have account control and where they have a lot of network equipment. Where Cisco's influence is weaker is in any organization where the security department is more dominant in selecting products.
John Oltsik
Share prices were weaker as many investors are keenly awaiting the machinery orders (figures).
Hideo Mizutani
You will notice drastic line-up changes and improved swims when the second half begins. Unfortunately, for the weaker teams, they can get beat up early in the season. It does give all teams great meets to look forward to.
Rich Thompson
If he plays to his potential, I know he's worked hard to improve his game, we won't be any weaker than last year. We're counting on him to round out the starting five.
Rich Bruneau
A weaker local currency and lower oil ease concern about earnings at exporters.
Choi Chang Hoon
There's been a lot of selling and profit taking — across all asset classes, actually. Oil is weaker, gold, silver, platinum and palladium are weaker, and base metals are weaker. It's just fed on itself.
Bernard Hunter
Ericsson's results for the fourth quarter were acceptable. Sales growth was stronger than anticipated but margins weaker. This is not likely to move the shares.
Greger Johansson
These are excellent results in a challenging broadcasting environment. The impact of weaker television advertising has been offset by cost savings.
Lorna Tilbian
We're on the weaker, west side of the storm, Ophelia is not going to be a Katrina, even if it turns into a hurricane, and none of the forecast models bring the center directly to Jacksonville.
Jason Kadah
The deterioration in the trade balance appears to be being arrested -- a lower currency and weaker domestic activity will go a long way to improving the current account situation, but it will take some time to show through.
Brendan O'donovan
Give a lot of credit to Maryland. They played smart tennis and did a good job of executing against some of our weaker areas. Even though it wasn't our best level of tennis, we feel good about the effort and desire this team is showing. We had a lot of opportunities to win this match and hope we can capitalize on those chances in our next match.
Troy Porco
The dollar is weaker initially across the board after the release of the minutes. On your first read through you get the indication they may not be as aggressive as some had been predicting.
Tim Mazanec
The headline number was weaker than what people expected. But when you look down into the underlying details, it's not as weak as what that headline number would suggest.
Jay Bryson
Given the still relatively robust domestic demand and an anticipated pick-up in fixed investment spending, the trade balance should continue to trend weaker.
Kevin Lings
The weaker players will have difficulty. The stronger players will garner more and more of the audience. That concentration will continue.
Tom Hyland
Our guard play has been our weaker play, but the last third of the season they have really stepped up.
Lori Daniel
It was weaker than expected, but it wasn't a dramatic surprise. It was already pretty clear that sentiment came off in January.
Jim O'sullivan
The Republican abuse of power comes at great cost to our country, and we can see it in the present state of our union. Special interests and the well-connected have grown stronger, while our national security, our economy, our health care and our government have grown weaker.
Nevada Democrat
The survey was much weaker than expected indicating the bank's rate cut has done little to assuage the malaise that continues to afflict the U.K. consumer.
Richard Mcguire
Nobody feels they have to buy the market at higher prices, at least not yet. Stocks have had a nice recovery, they're up overseas, the dollar is weaker -- so people are saying there's no real reason to buy the bond market.
Peter Mcteague
We need to keep an eye on Japan's trade number. Also, the country's monetary policy is very loose, pointing toward a weaker yen.
Shahab Jalinoos
Maybe in the first round, you don't ski too fast because you don't have competition next to you. You're focused more on synchronicity. If you seed well, you ski against a weaker team. In the finals, the competition gets harder and you need to ski faster and still hold it together.
Willi Glanznig
If you fight opponents who are weaker than yourself for any length, then you will find yourself disintegrating. It happened to the French in Algeria. It happened to the Americans in Vietnam. It happened to the Soviets in Afghanistan, and now it's happening to us.
Martin Von Creveld
Wal-Mart is Wal-Mart, and the sooner that everybody realizes they're not going away, that's not new news. It's just been a tough environment over the last year and a half. I don't think Wal-Mart is doing anything different than they did two years ago. They're just a little bit bigger. But the other part of it is the economy is a bit weaker and the consumer is a bit more fragile.
Jack Russo
The U.S. economy is at a good cruising speed. We can expect fourth- quarter GDP to be somewhat weaker.
Bernd Weidensteiner
The company failed to increase our comfort zone after reporting weaker-than-expected results.
Rene Pimentel
The main reason for the slowdown in February inflation is weaker food price rises.
Song Guoqing
I think we'll continue to see weaker housing starts, but the slowing will be more modest than the 8% decline we saw in February.
Celia Chen
The jobs numbers will be less reliable. If they are stronger, people will say it's because people had to hire more workers because of Katrina and it's only temporary. And if it's weaker people will also say that it's Katrina-related, ... The Fed's job has just gotten harder.
Bill Davison
A weaker currency combined with the continued expansion of the world economy could support South African manufacturers to become more competitive on the international market.
Nico Kelder
The dollar is a mess, interest rates appear to be on the rise, oil prices are going up and some earnings are looking weaker - it all adds up to bad news. I'm taking some profits on certain stocks, but it's not time to go running for the exits just yet.
David Pearl
The moral issues get stronger or weaker depending on what the circumstances were when the museum got the painting.
Howard Friedman
It was just plain good luck for the Biloxi and New Orleans areas, ... It meant that Katrina definitely came ashore much weaker than many had feared and many of us were forecasting.
Greg Holland
I always thought that Northwest had the upper hand in this, and that AMFA was playing with a weak hand, and now they have a weaker hand, ... Northwest has always had the fortitude to fly through a strike, and now they have demonstrated that they have the ability to fly through a strike.
Scott Hamilton
The dollar's a little weaker because Miyazawa retracted some of his comments, indicating there may be a need for foreign exchange intervention.
Mark Fitzpatrick
The city is not receiving compensation for the other 5,472 protected trees (at Home Depot and Wal-Mart), the ordinance was supposed to be stronger but the commissioners made it weaker instead.
Alice White
I don't relate to machismo ... If anything, it's about letting go of the definitions we've had of men and women, and that women are somehow weaker. Not in the experiences I've had with women in my life: I don't find my mother to be weak, and my wife is certainly not weak. As far as men being domineering and physical and violent, my father is not. My brothers aren't. I hope I'm not.
Anthony Edwards
I also decided to take a few chances when the balls were pitched short. Luckily it worked, even though one or two shots went flying over the wicketkeeper's head. When you get runs against weaker countries you aren't always that appreciative but when you make runs against the Aussies it feels really good.
Mark Boucher
We'll probably continue to lose money, primarily because the industry is going to be weaker this year than last year, ... We don't think the economy has bottomed out yet.
John Devine
The headline number came in a lot weaker than expected, but when you comb through all the revisions, you come down in line with expectations. The momentum in February is clearly weaker.
Jeff Palma
We thought they were a little weaker at 215. We thought we had a better chance and it paid off.
Dennis Friestad
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
My concern is that what's happened here is that inflation is higher than the Fed anticipated. On top of that, the kind of tightening already imposed by the markets, in terms of lower equities and higher bond yields, is setting up weaker growth in 2005.
Alan Ruskin
The big picture here is that the Bank's forecasts for growth and inflation are different to consensus expectations for weaker growth and inflation short term.
Alan Castle
Morally and constitutionally, the king is getting weaker.
Yubaraj Ghimire
We were scrambling to fill all our events, but still didn't make it. Missing those guys hurt us a little bit. Losing one actually made both of our relays weaker.
Josh Floetke
Vegh is the weaker opponent, if for no other reason than his lack of county support. Ford will win, either way. But why make it a bigger fight than it has to be?
Mark Jackson
I certainly don't see this as the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar and I don't see this as the beginning of the beginning for the Japanese economy, either. A stronger yen is going to slow the Japanese economy down and a weaker dollar isn't going to have an enormous impact on the U.S., so it's not a major concern at the moment.
Carl B. Weinberg
Treasuries remain under pressure and only weaker-than-expected data seem likely to reverse the current mood.
Cyril Beuzit
They were negotiating from a weaker position ... It would have been hard to defend some of these practices.
Robert Hormats
Yesterday we saw the beginning of a correction in a range of commodity prices, particularly gold, and as that happened we saw commodity currencies trading weaker and that gave a lift to the dollar. That theme is still valid.
Teis Knuthsen
The bond market is still behind the inflation curve. The inflation story continues to chip away at our economy and it doesn't seem to be getting any weaker.
Jack Ablin
We'll be OK. We understand we won't set the world on fire. It's going to be a weaker schedule all the way around.
Robert Brinton
The art of using deceit and cunning grow continually weaker and less effective to the user.
John Tillotson
Metro and Unilever are a tad weaker in a stronger market.
Simon Jeffries
Gold put in a pretty good performance. When the dollar has been strong, commodity prices have been weaker, and when the dollar has weakened there has been a rebound.
David Rinehimer
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
The recent set of data came weaker than a market consensus, but the basic trend is that the economic recovery is in progress.
Susumu Abe
We think the economy is in recession, and it looks like October is going to be weaker than September.
Joe Lavorgna
Despite these achievements, we were disappointed with our earnings performance this quarter which was the result of weaker than expected market conditions in the U.S. and Europe due to the transition from current-generation consoles to the next generation of video game systems.
Robert Kotick
The drop-off in Treasuries can't be ignored. That is contributing to weaker sentiment in Japanese bonds.
Hiroaki Takai
The stock market declines are a little bit scary. People want to take the dollar weaker.
Firas Askari
As a group, we don't have the size and strength of other basketball players, so we try to create our own little world of basketball. We're not trying to lock people out because we're better. We're protecting our weaker status.
Michael Wong
If you're flying a propeller when the other guys have regional jets, you will lose market share, especially in a weaker economy.
Glenn Engel
A weaker yen, and platinum futures prices trading above Yen 4,000/g, made the commodity 'very safe' to invest, in addition to the bullish sentiment felt across the metal futures complex with speculative funds.
Tatsuo Kageyama
Should foreign investors, who have helped fund U.S. twin deficits, show weaker demand at the 10-year auction and the trade deficit widens, that may make it easier to sell the dollar.
Tohru Sasaki
Oil demand growth outside (industrialized countries) has been weaker than expected and that is where a lot of the new consumption is coming from.
Neil Mcmahon
This product is not appropriate for unsophisticated borrowers or those with weaker credit capacities. I would not want to deprive qualified candidates from home ownership opportunities by declaring this product off limits.
John Reich
It's a big relief to see the economy back on track after weaker figures in December. The key sectors show growth which should be sustained going forward.
Bidisha Ganguly
By moving guys around, it only makes us weaker. Unless something happens this week, or someone gets hurt, I don't see us subbing. Our (regular) kids have worked hard all year and deserve to wrestle.
David Maldonado
Our national federations are legitimate members, some are stronger, some are weaker.
Don Porter
The whole psychology of the market has changed since the U.S. unemployment figures on Friday. All the U.S. economic statistics in May have been weaker than expected so now people think the interest rate rises since last June are really starting to work and the Fed may not even raise rates when it meets on June 28.
James So
While we have expected weaker trends in orders, we were surprised by the magnitude of the 20% decline in the quarter given the significant community growth.
Daniel Oppenheim
U.S. multinationals are still spending most of their R&D dollars here in the U.S. -- about 90 percent. It could shift, but it has not shifted yet. Where the link is weaker that just because a firm does its R&D here by no means means it's obligated to do its production in the U.S.
Gary Hufbauer
U.S. payroll numbers are unlikely to give the dollar upward momentum, even if the numbers are good. Market sentiment toward the U.S. economy is worsening, buffeted by recent weaker data.
Tohru Sasaki
Weaker economic indicators raise the likelihood of an earlier end to Fed tightening. It will encourage dollar-selling.
Michiyoshi Kato
There are two stories at work. The first is that we see surprising strength in exports. But imports are definitely weaker than I expected.
Ben Simpfendorfer
Certainly, the degree of strength through August is not sustainable; we'll get a much weaker number in September. But the third quarter as a whole will still show 5 to 6 percent consumer spending growth, even if we get a negative number in September.
Jim O'sullivan
The German presidency will not seek a solution at the expense of weaker members during these difficult negotiations.
Joschka Fischer
I don't expect the market to gain momentum in either direction until it gains new clarity about the possibility of a May rate hike. The overall trend in housing demand remains relatively weaker compared with 2005.
Michael Pond
This is an encouraging finding, but we have to treat it very cautiously in relation to India as a whole. The encouraging findings of this study relate to young women in the south, leaving the question of the north where most Indians live, where the densest populations are and where the availability of data is far weaker.
Richard Feachem
She recognizes me. She's weaker but she's still trying to talk.
Suzanne Vitadamo
The ECB believes there is a sustainable recovery in the euro zone, but that's not the case in Germany. We think euro zone growth will be weaker than the ECB thinks, so the bank won't be able to raise rates very much.
Ralph Solveen
I don't want to schedule cupcakes. We can't do that. We can't afford to do that with our schedule. You don't get better by playing weaker teams. You get good by playing tough opponents.
Mac Gifford
In all of the categories, there are some really strong pieces. Even some of the weaker ones are just fun to watch.
Craig Coleman
The prospects for a rate cut have certainly increased. You have weaker inflation and in addition there are risks to gross domestic product growth.
George Buckley
You have News Corp. weaker, you have the banking sector basically steady but with Australia & New Zealand Banking Group pulling back after some strong gains in recent weeks ...outside of that the market is just steady.
Jamie Spiteri
The dollar's bearish (weaker) trend is expected to continue unless the GDP figures are significantly stronger (than exported) or the market finds strong signals for further rate hikes in the Fed statement.
Yasuhisa Ishida
Other things being equal, higher oil prices will mean weaker economic growth, but the question is weaker relative to what.
Julian Jessop
The stronger Hillary is, the weaker she is. The more she seems like a likely presidential winner, the more difficult the senate race becomes in New York. It's perfect.
Dick Morris
Higher oil prices continue to pose threats to the stock market. Weaker consumer sentiment raises concern about a slowdown in the U.S. economy.
Choi Chang Hoon
While stocks once again saw significant draws, the market's focus is currently set on seemingly weaker demand.
Doug Leggate
There are five quality kids at 103. Two kids who could have made noise in some of the other weaker sections will have to attend the WPIAL tournament as spectators. It's too bad, because all five would represent the section well.
Vince Deaugustine
Growth was clearly weaker in the fourth quarter. But the ECB will call that an exception and say growth will accelerate. The bank will raise rates in March and possibly sometime thereafter.
Christoph Weil
Quality is a little hard to figure out, but strong asset management incentive fees offset weaker restructuring fees resulting in in-line revenue.
Chris Meyer
Every division performed at or above expectations, with the weaker-than-expected U.S. volumes more than offset by strong margins. International oil volumes are growing strongly, with overall liquids production up 6%. We see a 1.7% growth in volumes in 2006.
Paul Sankey
It's an Intel European, double-ordering, higher oil prices, weaker euro phenomenon.
Howard Ward
It's much weaker, but the size of the storm tends to grow. Even a category 3 could cause $25 billion in damage.
Jayanta Guin
Share prices ended weaker. This is because of lingering concerns about a lack of active inflows of funds from offshore investors.
Hideo Mizutani
The speaker is weaker today than he was a week ago.
Harvey Kronberg
Many had bought high-techs on the back of a weaker yen. But a scenario of the yen's free fall doesn't seem realistic.
Masatoshi Sato
We are lowering our rating on the copper industry to neutral from favorable as demand in the United States and some parts of Asia are weaker than expected.
John Tumazos
China Telecom is weaker because attention is on Unicom. Overall the market is still consolidating because there is still no clear direction.
Dennis Leung
This does not change our positive view on the stock, as we expect sequential operating improvements in the next quarters, particularly from the chemical division. We also believe that Alfa should benefit from a weaker peso.
Luis Miranda
A weaker yen is definitely positive for Mazda and other automakers. Mazda's earnings are also helped by the rising popularity of its vehicles.
Koichi Ogawa
Generally, a weaker yen is healthy for exporters and the economy. But the stock market doesn't have much else going for it.

The stronger a president is, the more he can get by with appointments who are close political allies. The weaker the president is, the more they try to enhance their own stature with stature-enhancing appointments.

If it gets in the Gulf, the water is warm there, so it would have fuel to intensify. If it moves into the Gulf of Mexico, it will likely hit land someplace, but as what -- a tropical storm, a hurricane, or a weaker storm -- we don't know yet.
Mark Mcinerney
Oil has continued to firm. That's bullish for the two stocks, which were also helped to a certain extent by the slightly weaker rand.
Warren Hammond
"I'm weaker than you know."
John Mayer
While sales were weaker than anticipated, profitability increased on the back of cost-cutting.
Ivy Zelman
Companies are still very cautious because the outlook is uncertain and jobs are an investment into the future. They know that 2006 will be a good year but also expect 2007 to be weaker and that's a reason to keep hiring on hold.
Andreas Scheuerle
We're playing about in the middle of the Southern Connecticut Conference. We're beating the weaker teams, in fact, we're winning those games handily. But we're not playing well against the better teams. We need to improve so we can be more competitive against the good teams.
