“I'd be surprised if the strain was localized to Asia. Most of the survey work that we've done leading up into the end of the quarter also indicated that business was quite difficult in the U.S., and I wouldn't rule out a miss in Europe as well.”

“We haven't identified anything about this strain that's different from strains in the other areas.”

“The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed- It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.”
William Shakespeare
“Freedom from worries and surcease from strain are illusions that always inhabit the distance.”
Edwin Way Teale
“What is the use of straining after an amiable view of things, when a cynical view is most likely to be the true one?”

“Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.”
Bible
