“I know that many have been taught to think that moderation, in a case like this, is a sort of treason”
Edmund Burke
“The consumer is not on a spending binge - consumer spending has moderated and I don't think there's a compelling case (to raise rates).”
Greg Valliere
“Nationally, it is clear that some housing markets have moderated from the over-heated and, in some cases, speculative pace of growth of the past few years. In our view, this tempering of demand to more sustainable long-term levels is a healthy trend for our company and the industry. There are signs of cooling in the hottest markets on both coasts and a shift in investor activity from buying to selling, resulting in less demand and increased supply in certain markets. Once these factors work their way through current housing supplies, however, we expect the market to move to a new equilibrium which will provide a platform for continuing and sustainable growth by KB Home. With this outlook and our healthy first-quarter performance, we feel confident in maintaining our earnings estimate of $11.25 per diluted share for 2006.”
Bruce Karatz
“Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation.”
William Lloyd Garrison
“We think that pricing pressures should ease and prices should come down or moderate by late May or early June barring any major catastrophe. I would say $3 a gallon is always within reach.”
Jim Rink
“In success be moderate”
Benjamin Franklin
“Personally I think the mainland's reaction this time has been very measured and moderate.”
