Friedrich Nietzsche

George F. Burns
The price action was incredible. A move like that leads me to believe that something is circulating. Something is known.

Frank Spindler

Paul Budde
We are increasingly bullish on Treasuries because of where yields are. We are looking to buy more when the price dips.

Melissa Pavlicek
It's not right for the oil companies to artificially bring prices up for gasoline already in the ground because of market predictions - especially when the price is not attributed to additional expenses by the vendor.
Bill Mitchell
We want an answer about on what level the agreement was signed on gas supplies from Iran and why the price is so high.
Ivliane Khaindrava
Most companies are looking for a 12-month return on investment, or payback in the same fiscal year. It may be that the price point is too high.
Richard Barrett
It hasn't been necessary to raise my prices. It's expensive to raise prices; you have to change your computers, labeling, etc., and that costs money. Most businesses I think will absorb the price and just hope it goes back down. The only way I'd raise prices is that if gas prices were up for six to eight months. Then I'd probably raise them because of the deliveries we make.
Robin Myers
We will think about [acquiring the stock] if the price is reasonable.
Alexander Ryazanov

David Garrity
At the end of the day, they have real assets in this company and the stock price does not reflect that.
Colin Gillis
We're in a zero-price environment. What really allows companies to earn is to cut costs and be in growth sectors of the marketplace.
Patricia Chadwick
Black is invisible to the customer and makes a much nicer presentation. It adds a minimal cost to the package, but we think about what one accident could be worth. You cannot put a price tag on customer safety.
John Boyer
I could imagine no price or combination of price and other conditions to recommend accepting the offer to our shareholders.
Craig Conway
Right now, the timing of this is difficult. There's no doubt a price increase of this magnitude would be justified by the costs. But it's not what the shipping community is willing to hear right now.
Doug Rockel
He could be out for 10 weeks, and with Ryan Price also suffering with a bad back, I had to bring someone in.

That's a small price to pay for 600 well-paying jobs and an opportunity to diversify our economy. And we're filling an empty office building, so it's a win-win on every side.
Wendy Mitchell
It's positive for the industry as a whole that we will have consolidation and more discipline on production. On a global basis this is going to be a very strong price setter.

J. William Fulbright
You can't put a price tag on somebody's life, and her life was so short-lived.
Theresa Pacheco
The wholesalers certainly don't want the image of price gouging. But when your cost goes up, you have to try to get your cost back.
Roger Lane
We're just as frustrated as our customers-this is our livelihood too. Retailers have had stunning, unprecedented price increases in one day alone-some as much as 46 cents.
Bob Bartlett
Everyone pays the same price. That's the message. We're not stressing the deal.
Deborah Silverman
I had a Fisher-Price goal, and I used to always shoot the ball. All I did was shoot the ball.
Brandon Moton
We're committing all our efforts into the talks. We can't comment on timeframe, price or any other details.
Hideo Azuma
Eighty dollars a share is certainly a fair price for this business that we suspect is not nearly as damaged as the media coverage would suggest. It becomes increasingly difficult for J&J to follow Boston's lead on price.
Dhulsini De Zoysa
We were paying the price but the puck wasn't going in for us. (Auld) played well.
Scott Hartnell
I would like to get a firm price so we can get it before the voters in a referendum in November.

Rep. Neal Kurk
In Latin America, price matters.
Grant Smith
The action is on the economic side of the argument rather than the price side.
Philip Barleggs
We haven't added a new customer in two years, but we were able to buy natural gas futures at a good price, so we can offer Columbia and Dominion Peoples customers these prices. Existing Peoples Plus customers already have a better deal.
Dan Donovan
If they come up with strong announcements about the agreed cuts it could easily see $1 to $1.50 added to the price [of a barrel of oil].
Joseph Stanislaw
Your next delivery is going to cost $10,000 more, and then what happens if the price goes down? You can't stay 30 or 40 cents ahead of the competition. It's a tough game right now.
Paul O'connell
I think the higher the price gets, the more there will be; there's no doubt about it.
Robert Newell
The high oil price will definitely provide additional demand for Japanese automakers that have fuel-efficient models with conventional gasoline engines and gas-electric hybrids. It's definitely a winning edge.
Norihito Kanai
The cost of the switch from old malaria drugs to ACT should not be an issue since as more manufacturers produce the drug, the price will drop significantly as it did with AIDS drugs. It's not good enough for the international community to say new treatments are too expensive.
Nathan Ford
Price expectations are increasing. Some sellers could start to get greedy.
Gavin Macdonald
This is not really a debate about being innovative. We all know we need to be creative. This is not really a debate about infrastructure. We all know we need to improve our infrastructure. This is about the business deal on the table. Is this the right program at the right price?
Sen. Vi Simpson
What we made them do was re-mark it regular and drop the price down to regular price.
Charles Carroll
Hurricane Katrina affected all prices. They ( pass this price increase along to universities and homes, the consumer. In just electricity cost alone, we are paying $3,120,000.
Pat Teeters
We've kept our price higher than their floor price for dumping duties, which is good news. We will await the (CITT) decision and hopefully we'll have some good news to give back to the industry about their decision.
Matt Harris
The supply of homes is very tight for new and existing homes. We will continue to see healthy home-price appreciation. For non-home owners, that's bad news. But for home owners, that's building wealth.
Lawrence Yun
If you think about investing as owning piece of a business, obviously a lower price is better than a higher price, as long as nothing is fundamentally wrong with the company.
Pat Dorsey
We think there continues to be some pretty strong price opportunities in the market.
Fred Green
We are deeply disappointed our lowered guidance for third-quarter earnings precipitated such a dramatic drop in EDS' stock price.
Dick Brown
It's not up to GM, it's up to the consumer whether that price holds or not. GM's pricing strategy continues to be a source of confusion for investors.

Jim Livengood
The higher the price of oil goes, the higher your costs are, even with hedging.
Klaus Breil
They stick you with those names, those labels -- 'rebel' or whatever; whatever they like to use. Because they need a label; they need a name. They need something to put the price tag on the back of.'
Johnny Depp
(Investors) don't want to see this relatively ferocious back and forth between the government and Telstra management, they want to see a plan for how earnings and the share price of the company are going to be buoyed.
David Land
It just doesn't make sense to lock California's wage that goes to the entry-level, least-skilled employees in our economy to an index that will price many out of the job market.
Michael Shaw
The price difference is not as significant as it was in the past.
Duke Ah Moo
There's some allure to having your name attached to that project. But for our own reasons, that's one that we passed on. We're a little uncomfortable with some of the price points they're charging.
Owen Lafave
But you can get info like a stock price, an airline schedule or traffic information.
Jeff Hawkins
Our fertilizer products come from natural gas, so our price of nitrogen fertilizer has gone through the roof in the last six months. And diesel has completely skyrocketed.
Kevin Rogers
Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.

Trilby Lundberg
Although we hear of a slowing real estate market, we don't yet see any price declines in the data.

It was a high premium on a high stock price. We think this was a reasonable and fair offer.
John O'neil
Problems are the price you pay for progress.
Branch Rickey
Michelin and the industry continue to pass on rising material costs through tire price increases. Tire price increases have been crucial to offsetting the projected 15 percent increase in raw material costs Michelin will feel in 2005 (approximately 450 million increase vs. 2004).
Adam Jonas
We have been getting a massive injection (of investment fund money) in the energy markets. It is very clear from the price action that they haven't stopped.
Deborah White
This dislocation in the Gulf is not going to go away quickly, ... For the marketer, it's a nightmare. You don't know how to price the fuel from day to day.
Bill Douglass
It seems like a pretty steep price. The range I was hearing was closer to $1.5 to $2 billion.
Charles Norton
Any time you can expand your brand portfolio, it creates a lot of opportunity at different channels of distribution, at different price points to attract consumers.
Peter Greene
I don't feel I deserve a raise just because the price of gasoline is going up.
Buddy Allen
Maple is in high demand for furniture and cabinets, and walnut and cherry bring a high price because it's hard to find in quantity and quality.
Billy Thomas
For my work, I need to be close to the city. And the price is right for this point in my life.
Rebecca Shaw
We're starting to see hundreds of price reductions a day.
Brett Ellis
The second quarter is normally a slow season. But, we expect the price to hit bottom in June.
Frank Huang
The price of freedom is high. We cannot afford to forget those willing to pay it.
John Croft
To the house of a friend if you're pleased to retire, You must all things admit, you must all things admire; You must pay with observance the price of your treat, You must eat what is praised, and must praise what you eat.
George Crabbe
They're not expecting to tack everything they did on top of the price. Their goal is to have their home sold when others are sitting there.
Sandy Geary
I think people are pretty happy with the BHP result but the share price has not done much. These days you don't get rewarded for a good result just hammered for a bad one.
David Massey
Normally we sell beer at 4.25, now we are selling them for three dollars, we are doing the opposite of price gouging.
Tammy Hoffman
This has to come. Otherwise, it'll just be a battleground for a price war.
Roger Walker
Investors are closely watching if the euro-dollar falls into $1.19 on a closing-price basis.
Tetsu Aikawa
They know they can't leave here without a measurable production increase because at this price level, everybody's uncomfortable.
Michael Rothman
The price of seeking to force our beliefs on others is that someday they might force their beliefs on us.
Mario Cuomo
They [the Nabobs] raised the price of everything in their neighbourhood, from fresh eggs to rotten boroughs.
Thomas Babington Macaulay
Skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales.
Tony Campolo
What price Glory?
Maxwell L. Anderson
These figures will translate into upward pressures on the consumer price index.
Hiromichi Shirakawa
I think the price decline pressure is gradually easing.
Hirokaza Yuihama
House price inflation has picked up in recent months; if this continues it has positive implications for consumer spending via the wealth effect it provides to homeowners.
Joseph Capurso
If the market doesn't offer your target price, you've always got that government loan to fall back on.
Ruth Hambleton
The ticket price was dictated by the promoter and may have been too high.
Nick Leeson
This is clearly a deal that's based on a higher-for-longer oil price.
Neil Mcmahon
The purpose of the increase is to maintain buying power. The amount of the increase is set by the U.S. Congress and it's based on Department of Labor statistics, in particular, the consumer price index.
Mark Lassiter
There is a seemingly endless appetite for high quality, stay-at-home entertainment at an affordable price.
Peter Main
The demand is not declining, either nationally or internationally. People are driving as much as they used to. The economy is doing pretty well, which is increasing demand. I don't expect significant price declines. (And) I don't know that it won't rise more.
Gail Weinholzer
There's a general acceptance now that house price growth is a problem.
Denis Casey
The Fed has and must have a commitment to price stability. The uncertainties on the upside (for inflation) have only gotten bigger since Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast.
Janet Yellen
The price of gasoline, electricity, the price of natural gas, it's been a triple hit for the consumer.
Leroy Shafer
Our constant focus on creating value for our customers continues on Monday when we launch a new round of price cuts.
Terry Leahy
The increased production being touted by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait is not going to be enough to dent the price.
Adrian Schmidt
Perhaps worst of all, the bill still does virtually nothing to limit the nation's growing demand for oil: the core cause of price spikes.
Sherwood Boehlert
With all the price competition [in generics], we're likely to see more consolidation.
Michael Krensavage
Energy weapons are being used against neighbors. The move toward a policy of imperialism ... has a clear and high price that will eventually be paid by the citizens of a nation that embarks on the imperialist path.
Andrei Illarionov
The price [of oil] is set on the world market by willing buyers and sellers.
Lee R. Raymond
Wynn wasn't a seller, but everything is for sale at a price ... dramatic changes can happen.
Larry Klatzkin
I wouldn't say that's spectacular, but I would say it's on trend, especially considering the shocks like energy-price increases.
Jeoff Hall
A higher oil price is like a tax on consumers. It pushes up price levels and consumers are going to spend less on everything else.
Geoff Lewis
You had to sell (the homes) for a fair price. So to get a higher spread just wasn't always feasible.
John Hernandez
This was my position during the E-VAT debates in the Senate. Because of the stratospheric price of global oil, I believe that to implement the law at this time will be disastrous to the poor.
Miriam Defensor Santiago
I think we came out real flat. We weren't prepared to play. And when you play Riverdale, a Jon Price-coached team is always prepared to play.
Tim Baumberger
This would indicate that the reduction in visitors is a high price to pay for 10 fewer injured people.
Jacie Daschel
Some sellers in markets that have had rapid appreciation are listing the price of their home too high, but those homes are just languishing in on the market. At the same time, some buyers who have believed hype about a housing bubble are hoping housing prices drop, but that's not happening either.
Thomas Stevens
Christmas won't be a blockbuster. Retailers are concentrating on getting as much sold at full price and have managed their stock better.
Paul Mumford
There are alcoholic beverages at different levels of price, and when you implement taxation, what happens is that the individuals who are able to purchase the alcoholic beverages that were more expensive just switch to less expensive ones.
Raul Caetano
Since the New Year, we've seen 1 and 2 cent increases almost every day. At that pace, the average price has shot up into the mid $2 range.
Michael Geeser
Most of the production growth now is from gas, and gas is at a much lower price than oil.
Adrian Jackson
To be frank, we want to avoid price controls.
Jeff Trewhitt
One man's wage rise is another man's price increase.
Harold Wilson
We would never go to Greenwich Avenue, then we would have to change our concept and price like other stores.
Julia Portera
For consumers, it may be waiting to see how the market shakes out a bit before deciding to buy at a price that's at the top of the market, particularly if they have to stretch to do that.
Allen Fishbein
Compare that to the Samsung 2010, which is exactly the same printer for the same price after rebate but has more robust features than the printer they make for Dell.
Brian Hamilton
We've lived there 15 or 16 years. We knew they were there. We never got to see one close up. When you live in the woods, that's the price you pay.
Dennis Bailey
That price is comparable or below prices at Padres games and is still below the NFL average.
Bill Johnston
It is part of continuing price war, it seems to be getting more aggressive.
Philip Macalister
When it's for the Hispanic community and a good cause, there's no price we can put.
Rudy Davalos
Of course, we don't know whether the price is going to stay at $3. But the longer prices stay at this level, the harder it is to believe that consumers will just carry on doing what they were doing.
Nigel Gault
Since they want guarantee for 20 years for uninterrupted gas supply we cannot compromise on the price and they have to pay more than $2.
Mahmudur Rahman
Ten dollars is about the price of parking for the Mavericks, so we have a lot we can offer to a family of four and that's probably our target market for single ticket sales, the family of four.
Todd Speer
It is very clear that whatever we can do to increase competitive bidding yields us a better price.
Marc Williams
This is the wrong price at the wrong time with the wrong process.
Mason Morfit
It's really in the realm of speculation as to how to price this.
Stephen Slivinski
There is a price to pay for pirate DVDs and it's much higher than most people think.
Jonathan Ross
Strict control over tariff growth ahead of the elections will lead to accelerated price growth in 2009.
Natalya Orlova
Most people don't believe OPEC has a lot of spare capacity. But the fact that OPEC is attempting to moderate the price shows a desire to maintain a price that does not depress Western economies.
Dobie Langenkamp
People have actually placed a bid on behalf of somebody else. The person selling the item is bidding on it. We've talked to these folks and we've come away really convinced they were doing it for a friend or family member that didn't have an eBay account. Also, people have done it because they are attempting to drive up the price on their own item.
Kevin Pursglove
The commodity price boom is something that's very supportive for Brazil. The real is likely to appreciate.
Carlin Doyle
On this basis, the doubling in the oil price since 2003 will have knocked something like three quarters of a percentage point off GDP growth during this year alone.
Peter Spencer
Price increases there are at a more modest level which looks much more sustainable.
Peter Johnson
China has become very competitive both in terms of price and quality. They are invading globally and we can't keep them off in this age of free market economy.
Mir Nasir Hossain
We're confident we'll bring this to a close quickly. It's good news that we're reached an agreement and we think this is an attractive price for shareholders.
Stephanie Tessier
The experience of seeing top blues artists at a very low price, cheaper than some cover charges to other local blues clubs is great. Many of these acts play in other cities for $20 per ticket.
Jackie Mitchell
Net customer loss of 500,000 for the half year makes our estimate for the full year of 650,000 seem clearly too optimistic -- especially in the light of the recent gas price increases.
Peter Wirtz
The closer we get to the end of the window the more clubs raise the price of the players and try to force us into paying more than we should.
Alain Perrin
We try to celebrate his life and what he did and not focus on the price he paid.
Martha True
Now we are looking at a higher price.
Alderman David Mokros
We kind of believe that will help establish a base price for both as we go into the future.
Steve Kent
There is a big difference between products. We don't shop for price. We shop for quality. That's primary. If we ever had to change, our customers would notice.
Alice Lincoln
The bottom line is, if you don't ask, you are not going to get it. But the one thing about Hollywood is that it is very hard to bully anyone when you are asking for that kind of price.
Tom Sherak
This is the way things are in Brazil, and it's happening at all levels. Everyone has a price, and everyone has their hands dirty. It's ingrained in society here.
Alexandre Barros
It's very thin (volume) today, and that's exaggerating price movement.
John Santoro
As the price of gas climbs, people's values decline.
Jeff Lenard
The market is just waiting for the consumer price index. If the figures are strong, market players are likely to buy the yen tentatively.
Fumihiko Kawano
The lower you go in the price structure, the more factors come into play.
Allen Rather
This is about trust, this system. So the question is how you price that, and it's given the foreign exchange market pause.
Paul Podolsky
If we're lucky we make a nickel. Where we used to make a nickel on a dollar, now we're trying to make a nickel on $2.50 and we're soon going to have to make that same nickel on $3.00. The price factor of it is getting to us.
Roy Mahone
European equities are undervalued but not undervalued enough to justify sharp recovery in price.
Michael O'sullivan
The whole thing has been a very childish exercise and this is the price of democracy.
Mahesh Bhatt
Ever since we've changed the price, it's been constant.
Bill Green
To be willing to die for an idea is to set a rather high price on conjecture.
Anatole France
The market's mood is that the economic outlook is probably going to continue to muddle through; that we've been through the worst that we're going to go through on the oil price, and equity markets are not that expensive.
Andrew Bell
Your customer base gets smaller and smaller, and that's reflected in the financial condition of the company. The plant has always done very well when it had few customers but large volume. Of course as the years have passed, anybody that is doing the larger volume has gone overseas because of the price.
Gene Wiseman
Price was probably the main driver; we had a fixed budget.
