Andre Midgett

It is Margaret Thatcher's fault, ... Inspired by busy little demons, she slashed and burnt her way through the old order.

There were quicker ways to get rich...

John Hiatt

Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or ''broken heart,'' is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains.

Julie Rousseau

Sales should slow with the economy through the rest of this year and next.

Michael Boldin

The economy is generally slowing for a wide variety of reasons - energy is one, but also the stimulus is wearing off.

Eating soup with a fork: slow and messy.

In terms of the Dow, we're getting closer to resistance and we're in the zone. Maybe we can go up another couple of hundred points.

Richard Suttmeier

Overall, I thought our pitching was outstanding and we hit the ball hard against two very different pitchers — one fast, the other slow. I was happy to get a lot of kids in the games today.

Patti Smoake

The second quarter is normally a slow season. But, we expect the price to hit bottom in June.

Frank Huang

History has shown, time and time again, that tax increases slow economic growth and hurt ordinary citizens. I can only hope that, come next year, you and I can begin to undo this damage.

Field conditions weren't exactly great. Slow start, we couldn't find our legs underneath us.

Drew Arsenault

Rich Aurilia

Midge Decter

There was a lot of trepidation on Monday after Friday's sell-off and when things didn't go from bad to worse, it has emboldened dip buyers to step in. But most of the investment community hasn't realized that the economy is slowing and that earnings are reflecting that and valuations are going to have to be adjusted.

Barry Ritholtz

We just lost our intensity. The whole game, we played great defense, trying to slow them down and keep them in front of me. We just slipped up on a couple of plays at the end.

Luther Head

Even when I was losing ... I still had the feeling that he cannot hurt me. Either I can win the match, or I can lose the match. Sometimes I was a little surprised at how slow he played the balls.

Dominik Hrbaty

One of the purposes of being out here is to slow these guys down while people are working in construction zones.

Jean Paul Richter

FEMA had the resources, but because of bureaucracy, they were slow to the punch causing countless numbers of America's most vulnerable to suffer, ... I support cutting the red tape of the only agency designated to provide this needed relief so a similar outcome can be prevented in the future.

Bart Stupak

We still think inflation will be contained. The reality is the economy is going to slow sharply over the next three to six months, and that should keep the Fed from hiking beyond May.

Mark Kiesel

We couldn't put it in the ocean in the first half. That first half killed us. We started off slow and weren't able to rebound.

Fred Hogan

What you capture is the slow, everyday decomposition of life because of working conditions.

Carlos Vasquez

B.C. is a very diversified economy, with strength in the high-tech industries, expanding natural gas and base metal sectors and booming non-residential construction.

The job numbers are a bit of surprise now, although I suspect some slowing in the economy soon.

Stephen Levy

The problem is that some of the funding has been slow, or uneven.

Kevin Bradley

A lot of drivers are good and slow down, but you can get rogue people who speed through and that can be very dangerous if there's hazard on the road or loose chip that can fly up.

When the doctor released me, he told me to come back slow and not to act like a maniac. My knee's been steadily improving. It gets better all the time. We see playing games as an extension of my therapy.

Scott Wood

The carriers are the biggest problem. They've been extremely slow in getting people online, and we're somewhat unsure if the medications we're giving out will even be covered.

David Burke

We started out slow on offense, but I thought our defense held us in. It could have been a 20-point quarter, but we held them to 8. We played a lot better in the second quarter. We loosened up and got it down to a manageable deficit. It was only four a halftime.

Dan Waterman

The risk is that the baht depreciates because capital flows to Thailand may slow, particularly to the stock market. We're having a problem related to how elections are going to pan out.

Mark Senftner

Things were kind of slow, like we were running in the mud.

Antonio Bryant

I think momentum is going to slow down, but I don't think markets are going to be as defensive as they were in the first quarter. There is room for the market to recover.

Rocky Steagall

Game one, we got off to a great start and pretty much dominated the entire game. Game two, we got off to a slow start and we were down 4-11 and then 7-15, but the girls really stepped up and increased their intensity.

Julie Craven

The deal will buy Pfizer some additional breathing room, as we had expected sales and earnings per share growth to slow based on the maturing portfolio of drugs, patent expirations in 2004 through 2007, winding down on synergies from the Warner-Lambert merger and weak new product flow.

Mara Goldstein

We've been off to such slow starts, and we tried to make that a point of emphasis to our kids: we have to get off to quicker starts.

It's a very slow, careful process.

Chris Nolen

It was in slow motion. I was just watching it. It's nice luck, you know. I got a solid chunk of that too.

Blair Betts

It takes only one or two drinks to slow physical and mental skills and affect vision, steering, braking, judgment and reaction time.

Carol Thorp

Thought seasonable factors may be part of the explanation for falling prices and declining home sales, it appears that the housing sector is slowing down as we move into 2006. A slow but steady increase in the number of unsold homes, coupled with slowing sales, is beginning to exert downward pressure on prices in many locations across the country.

Leonard Zumpano

They really slow it down offensively. They'll push the ball if they get a break, great. If not, they're going to move the ball around and really make your work defensively.

Andy Barr

You're looking for athletic ability more than anything, but some tackles might be a little too slow to be on the outside.

Greg Gabriel

If the company said it was a one-quarter event, then I think the downside would have been limited, ... But given the guidance we received, which is that growth is likely to slow because the company is so large, that will ratchet down the numbers for fiscal 2001, and that's probably where the damage is going to come from.

Charlie Wolf

There are three minor meteor showers going on, one known for slow moving but very bright fireballs.

Jack Horkheimer

We wanted to slow it down and get a good shot, but we also had to score.

David Levitsky

Pink (Pinkham) is a slow starter but he never really got it going today. It was a bad experience all around.

Bruce Blanch

The global economy is slowing. Estimates may still be too complacent regarding the degree of the slowdown.

It seems like all the days are going so slow .

Jordan Gembe

It's a very slow, detailed process involving a lot of layers of government, ... It would take a lot of groundwork. It would take a lot of years to accomplish.

Bobby Burns

Not only is the economy slowing but it is a reminder that inflation risks diminish as the economy slows. It emphasizes that the Fed would be quite well justified for easing policy as early as next week, a move to a neutral bias with a rate cut being the next logical step in January.

Paul Christopher

I was just thinking get the ball and slow it down. I was just doing the best I could to get the ball under control.

Mike Haveard

We made (good) plays when we had to. We made some shots. It seemed like there were a lot of loose balls, balls just bouncing around. We just looked a little slow tonight, but Lafayette's a good team.

Josh Martin

Progress was slow at first, but the evidence is mounting that restoration is working.

Michael Hendricks

Slow down, everyone. You're moving too fast.

Jack Johnson

Tom Hill

We expect to see advertising revenue slow in the second half of the year.

Harry Pachon

Sales are strong, but not at a peak, and price increases are slowing down, especially in the markets that took off first back in 1998 and 1999.

It was one small step for President Bush, and one giant missed opportunity for America. The president's proposals focus primarily on research. His energy program won't help lower gas prices or slow the global warming that the president still does not admit is happening.

Toby Chaudhuri

We got the hit we needed at the right time. We've been slow at the plate, but we stayed close with our fielding and pulled it out in the end. That was a big a play at the right time.

Larry Willis

We thought it would be slow to start, but it's been busy. Everybody's glad to see the café back open. Everyone's have been extremely gracious and welcoming.

We're definitely softening, definitely slowing down. We're catching our breath and getting ready for the next boom.

Linda Rheinberger

To be competitive, you no longer could have a slow, hierarchical, command-and-control decision-making process that was also far removed from the customer. You make a product-decision mistake or miss a product generation, and that could be fatal in a fast-moving world.

Douglas Norby

If there's continued strength in employment costs, I believe the Fed will raise rates 50 basis points to slow economic growth by a couple of notches.

Richard Babson

Nahum showed a lot more improvement at the beginning of the year, then with Jon, it all started clicking for him a few games ago. Some of these guys don't have a ton of game experience, so when you get the ball to them in the post they go too fast. Now they're starting to slow things down a little bit.

Brent Cahill
