“I think Paul and I are probably alike in that we're reluctant to talk about something that is not real yet, but we are talking about it.”
Robert Redford
“Anglicans typically have a reluctance to talk about money, to think that money is part of Christian life. The view is that if we're able to balance the budget then we've achieved our objective. It's a question of trying to change attitudes. Stewardship is a way of life, each of us has a need to donate our time, talent, and treasure and we should not be frightened.”
Canon Geoff Jackson

“Why is it that, as we grow older, we are so reluctant to change? It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future.”
Dale E. Turner
“I have been reluctant to publicly castigate an administration, but I think this particular administration has departed from all previous presidents, ... Our Endangered Values.”
Jimmy Carter
“You know when he comes back that he's going to be a little reluctant to be aggressive offensively. We talked with him from the standpoint that now, we need to have him be aggressive. Right now, with the way we're shooting the ball from outside, it has to be he and Marcus.”
Lute Olson
“I think we'll see a pickup in market activity in the afternoon, but for now market participants are reluctant to take positions ahead of Bush's address later in the morning.”
