“We were definitely in drought conditions. It's nice to get little shots of precipitation instead of one big gulp, which we really don't need. This will really help the farmers out.”
Steve Teachout
“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad itseems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned thatyou can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned thatregardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they'regone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing asmaking a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on bothhands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that wheneverI decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I'velearned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned thatevery day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, orjust a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what youdid, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first symptom in a woman, it's boldness.”
Victor Hugo
“It is short-sighted protectionist measures - like the ones being pursued by members of Congress - that helped precipitate the Great Depression. The more difficult politicians make it to do business in the United States, the more they risk triggering global depression and economic stagnation.”
Chris Mayer
“One thing that has precipitated all of this is our failure to make the appropriate changes to the code, and so we're suffering in a gray area. We moved very quickly, and I won't question why we did that, I just know that we probably should have given a little bit more thought about moving to a part-time chairman.”
Commissioner Sam Hart
“In life and business, there are two cardinal sins, ... The first is to act precipitously without thought, and the second is to not act at all. Unfortunately the board of directors and top management of Times Warner already committed the first sin by merging with AOL, and we believe they are currently in the process of committing the second; now is not a time to move slowly and suffer the paralysis of inaction.”
Carl Icahn
“The effect of dust on cloud properties is to inhibit precipitation,”
