Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
General Douglas MacArthur

Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
Thomas Jefferson
The strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept.
Thucydides

This is more a case of investors pouring money into the Japanese economy than a case of investors scooping money out of the U.S. economy, ... The dollar is weak against the yen, but strong against almost all other currencies, which suggests to me that it's speculative money flowing into Japan.
Carl B. Weinberg
Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
Dr. Robert H. Goddard
Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.
Henry David Thoreau
As domestic markets are likely to remain weak through 2006, the company is targeting non-Japan Asian markets to support continued growth in log sales volumes.
Mark Bishop
It is a pretty sharp bounce the market has been weak for some time.

I don't expect any problems because both firms have a much larger combined dominance in North America than in Europe where Reebok is weak.
Christian Schindler
We are very driven to have a great spring. We don't play any weak fields.
Kelley Hester
Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak... Non-violence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win.
Cesar Chavez
Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.
Samuel Johnson
GM and Ford rattled the hedge fund trade, brought back memories of Long-Term Capital, ... That's why the bank stocks were weak.
Vince Farrell
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.
Jeanette Winterson
Consumer spending growth has generally been trending at about 2.5-to-3 percent at an annual rate -- not booming, but not terrible, ... The fact that the job market is still weak is restraining optimism a bit; hopefully, as the recovery gathers pace, we will start to see more job growth.
Jim O'sullivan
The energy sector is weak today and that seems to be what is pulling against the tide in what would have been an otherwise slightly positive market.
Terry Milne
It was a very shoddy and weak production. And there weren't enough Black faces in the show for my liking. I don't think it achieved anything. Bob Geldof is too self-serving.
John Lydon
The kill made all the bass sick, but only killed the weak.
Kyle Jones
Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?
Henry Ward Beecher
The rise was obviously too much, too fast. Some weak earnings which came out yesterday gave a good excuse for investors to sell.
Hideyuki Ookoshi
Although it's still early in the quarter, we worry that what is typically a strong quarter for Oracle could prove to be unusually weak given the tough U.S. macroeconomic environment and potentially weakening conditions in International markets.
Neil Herman
If artificial barriers are necessary to keep employees dedicated to company goals, then that's an indicator of weak management.
Michael Robertson
After all, one knows one's weak points so well, that it's rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.
Edith Wharton
The economy is going to be benign. It's not going to be weak but kind of blah.
Harry Clark
Part of the reason you get this contrast between personal conditions and perceptions of the national economy is because of incredible weak leadership on the national level. I don't think the disconnect would be as large as it is if people felt we had a national leadership that understands the challenges and has a coherent set of policies to address them.
Fred Carstensen
The perception here is that traffic on the Internet was weak and, definitely, Yahoo!'s numbers are going to be used as a proxy or benchmark for the other players in the space.
James Preissler
Although the polyester industry and U.S. agriculture markets remain weak, most of our other businesses began to see some volume improvement.
Charles O. Holliday
We knew that was our weak spot, ... We all feel for him. He wasn't a kicker originally. We have Hilton next week, so we need to put it behind us.
Kevin Collier
We line up pretty well against West Lafayette. They have a strong No. 1 doubles team, but their No. 2 doubles is weak, so if we can get one of those and at least two of three singles, we should win. They have the advantage at No. 3 singles though.
Rick Dukeshier
That was a very difficult play. For one or two innings I had to realize that it was raining, that the grass was wet, and that when you have synthetic turf wet it is difficult to catch a ball and grasp it very well. I threw it home and I had to do it at full blast, not just an easy throw, a weak throw, but I had to do it full blast, and it worked out well.
Yulieski Gourriel
They are slaves who fear to speak,For the fallen and the weak.
James Russell Lowell
A lot (of people) bought Nokia shares in anticipation of a stronger-than-expected report. Likewise, many took negative positions in Ericsson in anticipation [of a weak report].
Per Lindberg
Overall, the figures look OK, but if you dig down deeper you see that European sales performance has been very weak, and that all the growth is coming from emerging markets.
Stephen Cheetham
She's in a very tough spot, either way it goes. Let's say she doesn't prosecute. There's been a lot of hype (since the FBI re-opened the case in 2004), and that has raised expectations. But if she does prosecute, there will be people saying this is a weak case. I would not want to be in her shoes.
David Beito
The more experienced and representative Conservative cabinet makes the Conservative minority government appear more stable than feared, while the problems with the Liberal Party suggest that the Liberals will provide a weak opposition, unable or willing to force an election soon.
Jeremy Friesen
This is because the negative contribution from (weak) rice prices is likely to dissipate and the effects of a reduction in electricity and telephone charges are also expected to ease.
Toshihiko Fukui
A weak housing starts report, a contained [producer-price index] report, and finally the minutes from the last Fed meeting caused the speculation.
Greg Jensen
We are pleased with our continued progress in meeting strategic goals and continue to see good customer flows across many business lines, ... It is clear, however, that the increasingly weak economic environment is making it difficult for our efforts to show up on the bottom line.
Hugh Mccoll
This administration's strength has been in deciding what they want to talk about, having a message. It's been a good offensive operation, but it's been weak on the defense. That's one of the things they need to fix.
Martha Kumar
There is no elections scheduled in the country soon and the opposition is weak, so the president may easily initiate some liberal steps and reforms.
Ilgar Mammadov
Current moderate growth prospects will make it more difficult to deepen the still-weak stability in the region and, therefore, fundamentally improve its creditworthiness.
Sebastian Briozzo
Tyler is our primary passer on the serve receive and he's very sure-handed. He blocks on the weak side and he does very well there. He can hold his own in the back row, too.
Katherine Fogg
Our serve and service return was very weak in the first two games. But we had a lot of things that worked well. So for the third game, we focused on serving more aggressively.
Lori Bennett
If you put too much aid too quickly into weak institutions, where there isn't capacity, you have corruption, and the programs don't work.
Andrew Natsios
We expected higher research and development costs, but the revenues were also on the weak side.
Henry Scott
Max Cleland lost three limbs in Vietnam and they shamed him so that he was pushed out of office because he was portrayed as weak on defense, ... Where do they come off with that kind of stuff?
Frank Lautenberg
All four teams have a solid lineup from top to bottom. There's no weak links in any of the four lineups. It's not often that occurs.
Chuck Tursky
For 2006, I see very strong German exports and increasing investment, but I don't think it will have a big impact on the labor market and that's why consumption will remain relatively weak.
Juergen Michels
It's a lose-lose situation for the yen. Traders feel they shouldn't raise rates because the economy is still too weak at this point.
Tom Benfer
With her a cold can be very serious. She has a weak cough. She can't cough up secretions like others normally could. It can be pretty dangerous.
Clint Christopher
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
Orison Swett Marden
The continuing selling by overseas investors set the weak tone in the market. When the GDP didn't provide any surprises, you would hardly expect people to buy stocks.
Masayuki Kubota
Here is only one reason why men become addicted to drugs, they are weak men. Only strong men are cured, and they cure themselves.
Martin H. Fischer
My soul is pained that the people of Israel are led by people who think that it is popular before the election to beat Jews, even as they appear weak in the face of the Islamic enemy.
Benny Elon
Their weak-side help had a lot to do with that. We'd beat the first defender, but the secondary defense was outstanding.
Jerry Gibbs
We had a very good quarter. Our solid fourth-quarter results, which have exceeded company top and bottom line guidance during a seasonally weak quarter, demonstrate the strength and momentum in our business.
Charles Zhang
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
The yen continues to weaken, as it should, given the continued weak economic data coming from Tokyo.
Dennis Gartman
A weak yen is the only effective measure. The yen has long been overvalued, considering labor productivity and other economic data.
Nobuyuki Idei
The market fell 5 percent last week so it should stabilize a bit, but tech stocks are still weak.
Herbert Lau
His heart was enlarged, weak and could have given out at any time.
Craig Harvey
Somebody's gotten in his ear and told him it's a weak group of receivers.
Frank Coyle
The surprisingly weak quantitative literacy ability of many college graduates is troubling. A knowledgeable workforce is vital to cope with the increasing demands of the global marketplace.
Stephane Baldi
I don't have any interest in doing something that's weak musically.
Brad Paisley
You don't usually get verdict this fast unless the evidence is really strong or really weak.
Kurt Mechals
The market is soft, and everyone realizes that. But it doesn't mean that everything has gone weak. The waterfront condos in particular remain strong. Everyone who can afford it wants to live on the beach. There are certain niches that are just recession proof.
Patrick Berman
It would be wise to have the kids go to the sheep camp and get their food instead of being dependent and going straight to the refrigerator. The hard life brings physical and mental stability, while being dependent makes you weak and vulnerable to sickness.
Justin Willey
We may be a bit early with this call, but we believe Cisco's results have bottomed, ... The US (50 percent of revenues) actually saw 13 percent revenue growth this quarter. Europe will likely remain weak but may also bottom by the end of 2001. We are still concerned about Asia.
Steve Kamman
When foreign investors enter Vietnam, they must follow the country's labor rules. If they don't, the Vietnamese government has the responsibility to enforce the law or expel the company. The government has to protect the worker. The unions that represent workers in factories of foreign and joint-stock companies are weak. They don't have the strength to stand up to the management.
Long Nguyen
The judges did a pretty good job of finding the weak points of both sides' arguments. I was a little surprised at how tough the panel was on the government.
John W. Gardner
It's not too little, too late. Now we've rescued people, the next stage is emerging. People are extremely weak. They're traumatized and exhausted. We've got to support them while the water goes down.
Lindsey Davies
That is very important. The weak, horrible, wet fish handshake is a problem. That gives a lot away.
Diana Mather
The definitions related to open space are weak in that they do not distinguish between lands set aside for resource-conservation purposes versus lands set aside for recreational purposes; nor do the definitions recognize necessary distinctions between urban, suburban and rural lands.
Craig Richardson
This is in response to fairly weak advertising performance.
John Morton
We expect weak household consumption, business investment and inventory run down to result in a negative headline number.
Shamubeel Eaqub
We did a good job on the threes. We gave them different looks: double down, fake double down and weak-side help.
Lenny Jefferson
It's hard to find a weak link so you can help out (on defense).
Hal Pearson
Tell your readers to use it or lose it. If you don't use your muscles, they get weak. If you don't use your mind it begins to fail.
John Templeton
The amount of infighting has made the union a big, fat target for the transit authority. They see a weak and divided union, and they're taking a hard line.
John Samuelsen
With consumer confidence remaining weak and price deflation continuing to impact the industry, 2006 looks likely to be another tough year.
Rhys Williams
I am not suggesting we should be complacent about the weak statistic for fourth-quarter growth.
Sandra Pianalto
The news out of Sun on the Niagara product is surprisingly weak. Based on Sun's early descriptions, the Niagara architecture appears to be targeting a niche (market).
Karl Freund
A lot of [developers] have an amazingly weak grasp of physics. We've become a much more connected world and there's a lot more to program for than Web services.
James Gosling
Chances that there will be a second round initially seemed weak but are getting better and better.
Leslie Manigat
Our critics so far have been utterly incompetent. How do I know this? Because I know the "soft underbelly" of the Christian Reconstruction position. Every insider knows where the weak chinks are in his movement's armor. The best test of a critic's mastery of his opponent's system is his ability to go straight for his opponent's weakest spots.
Gary North
He touched my life. He told me you have to work hard but you also have to work smart. He said you not only need work on the areas you're good in, it's important to get strong in the areas in which you're weak.
Ray Jacques
Life is given for wisdom, and yet we are not wise; for goodness, and we are not good; for overcoming evil, and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love, and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment, but to the struggle toward it.
Thornton T. Munger
The fall in retail sector profits reflects the inability of many retailers to pass on cost increases in an environment of weak consumer spending.
Stephen Walters
They did not play well. (We) still had a good chance to win, but were very weak at penalty kicks as well.
Larry Fleming
The toy industry has really been flat for the past three years, ... The tough part for the manufacturers has been the weak economy. Toymakers have struggled with declining profit margins as more and more consumers opted to buy toys on sale.
Reyne Rice
The market's weak without much attraction. We didn't get the news about the debt swap that everybody was waiting for.
Tomi Taterka
The New Zealand dollar continues to be hampered by the recent swag of weak economic data. We suspect the currency will continue to come under pressure.
Tim Bowring
These all are attempts to protect the weak party against other political powers. They are afraid of the Brothers and they are afraid of all potential political power. They are so weak that they put all other political powers under siege.
George Ishaq
I don't see any other large airlines in danger, but Independence Air is very weak financially.
Phil Baggaley
They're big, fast and quick. They like to play diagonal ball to the weak side flanks, and they're pretty strong in the air.
Rob Bledsoe
Doctors say that the recovery process is going to be slow because the infection is severe and will take time to be eliminated. I am feeling very weak at the moment and really don't know when I will be able to resume full training and playing cricket again.
Abdul Razzaq
It seems we've had more than enough weak economic data to conclude the Fed will cut rates on June 27.
Bill Meehan
The reason I started, and got into playing punk as a band was quite mercenary, to be honest. I wanted a record deal and everybody was signing punk bands, so I started doing it. My own weak pop version of it really, we weren't particularly good or convincing, but that's what I did, and it worked and I got a deal.
Gary Numan
I spoke with Terri -- she focused on my face, she responded. She's weak, but she's also at the same time, got that incredible survival instinct.
Patricia Anderson
We believe that the PC environment hasn't improved, and visibility still remains quite poor, ... We expect this trend to continue through the first half of 2001. As a result, we expect pricing pressure to continue between Intel and AMD through Labor Day, as weak end demand and inventory overhang continue to push both companies down the slippery slope of pricing as the only means of leverage.
Charlie Glavin
I think it's symptomatic of how weak this economy really is. This tells us the slowdown is accelerating more than expected.
Bob Mcintosh
The big negative is their retail franchise was weak, hurt by contracting net interest margin.
Steve Roukis
Tech has been hit hard this year, with the semiconductors down nearly 40 percent, so we've been seeing this rise recently. What's in question is whether this is just a much-deserved bounce after the weak performance, or if this is something more. It's not clear yet.
Doug Sandler
We're getting into our secondary help positions a lot better. Once we get the weak side rebounding, it helps ignite the break.
Aubrey Edgmon
I think they'll hold unless we see some surprisingly weak economic data on the jobs front, which comes out on Friday. But absent that, I think the Fed is going to be tempted, having cut rates three times, to let things sit a while.
John Ryding
While weak industry conditions impacted our financial performance in fiscal 2005, we made good progress on the strategies we established at the beginning of the year.
Don Mitchell
Your risk markets -- equity markets, corporate bond, high yield, emerging-market bonds, currency markets and commodity markets -- are all pricing in extremely high risk and robust growth. In contrast, the TIPs market is pricing in weak or modest growth.
John Brynjolfsson
He does some great things on the weak side, his offenses are very active and there is a lot of opportunity. The ball really moves around. They're never standing still. I think they're going to like it.
Tim Legler
Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable that a brick without a flaw.
William J. H. Boetcker
As rookies, we can't be a weak link. We can't play like rookies.
Josh Bullocks
The problem was expectations were too high. Volumes are rising somewhat but prices are not, so you get what you got today -- relatively weak revenue and weak earnings.
Scott Geels
Hatred - The anger of the weak.
Alphonse Daudet
Terrorism is a weapons system, ... From time immemorial it has been the weapon of the weak against the strong. The real war on terror is about culture, ideas and perceptions as much as roadside bombs and suicide bombs.
Arnaud De Borchgrave
The threat of a Fed policy firming on Nov. 16 will continue to weigh on the markets, despite the weak payroll figures reported in this morning's employment report. The sharp advance (in wage growth) will, nevertheless, worry Fed policy makers who are already concerned about the tightness in the labor market.
Marilyn Schaja
A weak man has doubts before a decision, a strong man has them afterwards.
Karl Kraus
They're driving toward such a weak standard, [legislation] may get stuck. If it's that weak, it should get stuck.
Gail Hillebrand
Overall, (Maytag's) competitive position right now is pretty weak.
David Macgregor
The decline was mainly brought on by weak profits at our securities subsidiary.
Victor Kung
If it comes in too weak, you get worries about the economy. If you get a blowout number, everyone will get obsessed about interest rates again, the bond market will go into a tizzy, and stocks will slide.
Donald Selkin
A careful study of the court order reveals that to hide their own shortcomings and dereliction in duties, the MCD officials have perhaps not placed actual facts in the court and a weak case was fought.
Praveen Khandelwal
It was obviously a technical bounce after a very weak run, which was always the risk.
Jason Wong
Our efforts may look weak and limited in comparison with the government's strong and thunderous media campaign. Whether history proves the project to be a success or a failure, the fact remains that we were simply a group of journalists who took our profession very seriously. We tried to do what we felt was right at a time when we were needed.
Dai Qing
All of the areas of the game that looked weak for us before were strong. Our goaltender was great. The power play was good. The penalty killing was sharp. It was a reversal of fortune for us.
Craig Mactavish
I cried right after Game 6, ... I wasn't strong enough to stop the tears. It just hurt because I was a rookie guy and to go that far, you think you've got everything already by having a great team. I felt like OK, we got it. Now we're going to beat the Atlanta Braves. It wasn't that way. I was weak about [losing]. ... I couldn't eat for three to four weeks.
Julian Tavarez
Fiscal 2005 was a challenging year for the industry and our company primarily due to a weak box office and, to a lesser extent, the continued growth of various alternative entertainment options and new technologies.
Joe Malugen
There is little difference between the philosophies of the government and the opposition. If the market was weak on a DPJ victory, this may be seen as a buying opportunity.
Robert Mckillop
With demand still weak, there's room to cut rates in the first half of next year. That'll keep yields around 4 percent for 10-year gilts.
Stuart Thomson
Our poor pricing, rising cost structure, mismatched fleet, weak operational performance, low-intensity performance culture, and social obligations all contributed to our dismal financial performance across most routes we fly.
Idris Jala
That was much worse than expected, and the underlying numbers look weak across the board.
Michael Every
Usually the second quarter is typically a weak period [for the semiconductor sector], and I would expect to see a lot of the stock prices kind of trading sideways in the second quarter. Maybe we'll see a few of the bigger, maybe stronger cap companies moving up. But in general, the second quarter is typically weak.
Christopher Chaney
This report is a sign that the manufacturing sector is on solid ground after a weak performance in 1998 and the early part of 1999.
Michael Moran
Defense has been our weak point this year, particularly in the second half.
Jeff Malloy
The data was weak. The environment does seem quite positive for bonds. People are still asking if the upswing in data will continue.
Bernd Weidensteiner
Q3 is historically a weak quarter, ... Customer spending held up, though, and Q4 is primed to be a good year-over-year growth story.
Carrie Johnson
There are a few signs of cracks beneath the surface in the U.S. economy, starting with the weak durable goods and confidence figures last week, and now with the rise in oil.
Harvinder Kalirai
It feels sore and a little weak. Nothing since I've ever played baseball have I taken one swing and halted activity after a swing. Ever. Unless a guy hit me with a pitch in the hand or the face or whatever.
Paul Konerko
We continue to forecast solid low-to-mid-teens sales growth and high-teens earnings per share growth throughout fiscal 2001 despite the crippling effects of the (weak) euro.
Glenn Novarro
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
The men's 200 individual medley has been one of our weak points. But all of our national champions from this meeting will become members of our national squad so that we can assist them.
Dirk Lange
This should put to sleep any bears on Intel who thought PC demand was weak.
Apjit Walia
The greatest weakness of all is the great fear of appearing weak.
Jacques Benigne Bossuel
Ever since last year, practices were dry and weak. They weren't very difficult and we weren't pushing ourselves. The intensity in practice just wasn't there.
Andy Bertram
The bottom line is that, despite some longer-term issues, we think weak industry sentiment combined with some valid company-specific concerns have pushed the stock lower than is justified. We believe that the near-term positives outweigh the near-term risks.
Benjamin Schachter
Traditionally, Martinsville is a weak team on the bars. For some reason though, that's not the case this year. The bars have been our strongest point throughout the entire season.
Holly Brummett
It's another solid district, top to bottom. There are no weak teams in football as well as all of the other sports.
Pat Patterson
You hear the older guys talk about the rivalry and you definitely don't want to be the weak link, ... We'll be on our P's and Q's this whole week trying to make sure we're in the right places at the right times. It'll be exciting.
Marcus Spears
Some may interpret this weak performance as a sign that the energy shocks may have finally taken their toll.
Sandra Pianalto
Seven days without laughter makes one weak.
Mort Walker
The strike is an increasingly weak tool. Labor laws are not going to help you at all.
Brendan Cummins
We're strong in the middle of the field, but weak on both sides. It's a matter of how fast the younger players learn the system and learn what they need to do.
Jeannette Ireland
They've got the widest margins in hardware production. And as a result they've been able to drive down the price of hardware -- an important competitive advantage in a weak environment.
Mark Schultz
We are not changing our estimates today, but do expect to have to lower them again after the call -- both for the second and third quarter. Aggressive pricing and weak demand should mean mid-40 percent gross margins by the third quarter.
Charlie Glavin
Intuition is linear; our imaginations are weak. Even the brightest of us only extrapolate from what we know now; for the most part, we're afraid to really stretch.
Ray Kurzweil
He was facing increasing opposition and was standing on very weak ground. So in that sense it was a godsend.
Minoru Morita
We would not read too much into the weak sales for Activision, since most of its key titles for the quarter aren't expected out until September.
Michael Wallace
They seemed weak but OK. They said they had eaten coconuts, boars and wild shoots. They hunted to stay alive.
Shaukat Hussain
It's like we had three strong muscles originally, and could point FUSE wherever we wanted to. Now we have to control the pointing with one strong muscle and two weak muscles. The revised control software is like a good physical therapist, teaching the satellite to compensate.
William Blair
It's weak and despicable to go on wanting things and not trying to get them.
Joanna Field
An extensive network is the indisputable advantage that attracts foreign investors. The rural credit union, despite its relatively weak performance, is the last Shanghai-based bank up for grabs.
Liu Xiaochang
We think consumer spending will go back to the kind of level we expected for the fourth quarter before [the attacks] happened, and that level was not one of great strength. We were thinking that it might be 2 to 3 percent above last year on a same-store basis, and last year was pretty bad. We would be coming off a weak base.
Kurt Barnard
The European currencies have been weak against the dollar for three or four years now, and we've had two or three years of really extraordinary results worldwide, ... So, we're managing through this difficult period quite well, probably better than almost any other global branded company I can think of.
Jack Greenberg
She (Kinsella) didn't feel very good. I was happy to see her go six. She gave me more than I thought she could. She was weak, but she's gutsy. She's a competitor.
Chuck Gault
It's a pretty straightforward case of weak equities helping bonds. But there's still the feeling that we're running up against some kind of a brick wall, and that's why prices were unable to push a whole lot higher.
Anthony Karydakis
A combination of weak consumer spending and challenging world markets is weighing on UK manufacturing.
Ian Mccafferty
They're unstable to begin with, they have weak controls, there's an argument and they get set off.
Louis Schlesinger
Demand in Europe remains weak and the US is stable but at anemic levels. Fortune 500 purchases remain slow with little movement toward discretionary projects. Finally, the typical year end surge of Government spending began later than normal in July.
Thomas Kraemer
This second-quarter loss demonstrates clearly that United continues to suffer from the weak revenue environment since Sept. 11, ... The month-to-month improvements we've seen so far this year have stalled. In fact, our June unit revenue performance is slightly worse than it was in May.
John Creighton
Right now is an excellent opportunity for businesses to look at wage-and-benefit packages and to become more competitive. It's also a time when companies can tap into the hidden labor pool -- people who are older or mildly disabled or those with weak language skills.
Mason Jackson
Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, their lack of good fortunes or the quirks of fate. Everyone has within them the power to say, 'This I am today, that I shall become tomorrow.' The wish, however, must be implemented by deeds.
Louis L'Amour
In an ideal world, the governor of Texas should denounce the shenanigans of Tom DeLay and his twisted, unethical schemes. But Rick Perry is too weak and too dependent on the wealthy, powerful and ruthless special interests that both he and DeLay work for.
Bob Gammage
Tommy's brand is still vibrant to a certain extent with consumers, but it has been failing for some time, not only with the brand itself and what it stands for with the consumer in terms of leading-edge styling and fashion, but also failing financially, ... The brand is very weak now, but if it's acquired by the right entity I believe the brand can be turned around and can gain its strength back.
Robin Lewis
It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The problem in some cases is the abuse of weak democracies, the exploitation by leaders of those parts of the system which aren't really democratic or strong.
Robert Broadfoot
We've had a very active hurricane season, a weak El Nino, and a hot summer. These things tend to translate into a colder winter.
