We talked to some of the guys after practice and they said it was nice release. Some things are more important than high school football, and our game pales in comparison. (Quote by - Dale Patton)

It's an opportunity to answer any additional questions that are out there. It's also an opportunity for the three- school option to be discussed on its own, rather than in comparison to the consolidated option, as it had been in the past. (Quote by - Irene Allan)

The good news is that we knew the fourth quarter was going to be bad. Did we know the (same- store revenue comparisons) would be down 10 percent? I was thinking more like 7 percent. (Quote by - Stacey Widlitz)

A couple decent quarters do not a turnaround make. The competitive issues haven't changed that much. February sales looked better but they're also set against easier comparisons. There's still a long way to go until a real turnaround. (Quote by - George Whalin)

The great advantage of hydrogen ion budgets is that they integrate information about many chemical and biological processes into a single parameter for comparison, . . In addition, we had the great advantage of soil samples archived from all collection years to evaluate changes in the soil exchange complex and the potential accumulation of sulfate, the predominant component of acid rain within the soil profile. (Quote by - Daniel Markewitz)

In order to pay it's got to be a pretty big winner. But if it's a big hit from a financial standpoint, then next year you've got a very tough comparison. (Quote by - Bill Fries)

Choices can present opportunities, but the question is: What will seniors do when they face so many choices? . . Some will comparison shop, others might be heavily influenced by marketing and some may be paralyzed by so many choices. . . . Not everybody should sign up, because some people already have adequate coverage. (Quote by - Tricia Neuman)

Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned. (Quote by - Emile Durkheim)

I don't want to get in the way of Johnny with his Kentucky Derby mounts. This was a particularly hard decision, because anyone who works or trains or is around Keyed Entry knows how good he is. You'd want to stay with a horse like that as long as possible. He's undefeated. He's training super. In a perfect world, Keyed Entry would already have gone two turns, so Johnny could have made a better comparison with Bluegrass Cat. Bluegrass Cat already has been a mile and an eighth, and he's already been a mile and a sixteenth this year. I think it came down to that. (Quote by - Todd Pletcher)

Some say, compared to Bononcini, That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny; Others aver, that he to Handel Is scarcely fit to hold a Candle: Strange all this difference should be, 'Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee! (Quote by - John Byrom)

It looks as though there's been a change, but two points do not make a trend. We will have to calculate rates, using 100,000 passenger days, in order to really effect a comparison. We will be doing that. (Quote by - Dave Forney)

Too great refinement is false delicacy, and true delicacy is solid refinement. (Quote by - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld)

Target recently generated its highest comparable sales in 20 quarters, up 6.6 percent in the first quarter. However, this could represent a high- water mark as sales seem to be slowing and comparisons become much more difficult in the back- half of the year. (Quote by - Todd Slater)

While IBM presents a compelling long- term Web- infrastructure play, we are concerned that difficult growth comparisons and slow recoveries in key businesses may haunt the company's second and third quarters. (Quote by - Amit Chopra)

It is work, work that one delights in, that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison. (Quote by - Ashley Montagu)

There are differences between being quick and fast. I think there's no doubt Marion was faster, but as far as being quick, I don't know. It's a good comparison. Ivory is quick and she's fast, too. I'd say Marion is faster, but quick? I don't know which one. (Quote by - Sylvia Hatchell)

That's one of the best conferences in the (nation), and I'd like to play them just for a comparison. (Quote by - Bob Thomason)

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. (Quote by - Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I say, show me a comparison against other planes that fly out of the airport and frequency of take- offs and landings. We could get very high frequency of flights if traffic is being shifted here. Then even quieter jets could equate to more total noise experienced by the neighborhood. (Quote by - Strat Sherman)

We grew earnings per diluted share by 85 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, so it represents the most difficult earnings comparison for the coming year. (Quote by - Darren Jackson)
