I'm convinced that a large percentage of people that we call worldly Christians are perhaps not Christian to begin with and that may be the trouble. ~ Vance Havner
Percentages quotes by Vance Havner
Every time you say yes to something you don't want to do, this will happen: you will resent people, you will do a bad job, you will have less energy for the things you were doing a good job on, you will make less money, and yet another small percentage of your life will be used up, burned up, a smoke signal to the future saying, I did it again. ~ James Altucher
Percentages quotes by James Altucher
You have to be simultaneously well-prepared and spontaneous. You don't really know for sure what percentage of the preparation you are going to use, and you don't know exactly where it will apply. So you have to be prepared, but not locked into that preparation. ~ Bob Costas
Percentages quotes by Bob Costas
Any woman who still thinks marriage is a fifty-fifty proposition is only proving that she doesn't understand either men or percentages. ~ Florynce Kennedy
Percentages quotes by Florynce Kennedy
In 1960, fewer than 13 percent of Americans were obese, and diabetes had been diagnosed in 1 percent. Today, the percentage of obese Americans has almost tripled; the percentage of Americans with diabetes has increased sevenfold. ~ Gary Taubes
Percentages quotes by Gary Taubes
The Middle East has the highest unemployment percentage of any region in the world we have the largest youth cohort of history coming into the market place that frustration does translate into the political sphere when people are hungry and without jobs. ~ Abdallah II Of Jordan
Percentages quotes by Abdallah II Of Jordan
Percentages! Those are for economists, polls, and politicians. Percentages can't define your identity. ~ Mary E. Pearson
Percentages quotes by Mary E. Pearson
Abraham Lincoln did not go to Gettysburg having commissioned a poll to find out what would sell in Gettysburg. There were no people with percentages for him, cautioning him about this group or that group or what they found in exit polls a year earlier. When will we have the courage of Lincoln? ~ Robert Coles
Percentages quotes by Robert Coles
Warren Buffett pays taxes on a smaller percentage of his billions in income than his cleaning lady. ~ Eric Alterman
Percentages quotes by Eric Alterman
One of the best-known studies of availability suggests that awareness of your own biases can contribute to peace in marriages, and probably in other joint projects. In a famous study, spouses were asked, "How large was your personal contribution to keeping the place tidy, in percentages?" They also answered similar questions about "taking out the garbage," "initiating social engagements," etc. Would the self-estimated contributions add up to 100%, or more, or less? As expected, the self-assessed contributions added up to more than 100%. The explanation is a simple availability bias: both spouses remember their own individual efforts and contributions much more clearly than those of the other, and the difference in availability leads to a difference in judged frequency. ~ Daniel Kahneman
Percentages quotes by Daniel Kahneman
Ben told me that Tom had just spoken on the mobile to Alice and according to Tom she didn't say anything about falling over at the gym and she sounded "Just like Mum except maybe ten to fifteen percent grumpier than usual." I think he's learning percentages at school right now. ~ Liane Moriarty
Percentages quotes by Liane Moriarty
The people among which I lived - and yet live, mainly - made their living from cotton, wheat, cattle, oil, with the usual percentage of business men and professional men. ~ Robert E. Howard
Percentages quotes by Robert E. Howard
We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place. ~ Gunter Grass
Percentages quotes by Gunter Grass
No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Percentages quotes by Abraham Lincoln
A good 80 percent of the vault is still physical and another percentage of it, 20, 25 percent is mental. Mental is always the mental strength, the confidence building up to that contest or repetition, practice, practice, and practice. ~ Bela Karolyi
Percentages quotes by Bela Karolyi
I said we are going to balance an $11 billion budget deficit in a $29 billion budget, so by percentage, the largest budget deficit in America, by percentage, larger than California, larger than New York, larger than Illinois. And we're going to balance that without raising taxes on the people of the state of New Jersey. ~ Chris Christie
Percentages quotes by Chris Christie
When you go to bed tonight, ask yourself 'What percentage of my day did I spend creating residual income?' If the answer is ZERO, you're in trouble. ~ Robert G. Allen
Percentages quotes by Robert G. Allen
It the Senator can find in Title VII any language which provides that an employer will have to hire on the basis of percentage or quota related to color, race, religion, or national origin, I will start eating the pages one after another, because it is not in there. ~ Hubert H. Humphrey
Percentages quotes by Hubert H. Humphrey
We'll serve, on a good Saturday night six or seven thousand people in all the restaurants, and it's like, the percentages are that maybe one person's not going to like what they get. And I can't be there to fix it. I hate that. We're in this business to make things that please people. ~ Todd English
Percentages quotes by Todd English
In the meanwhile, just see how profitable the fruits of non-violence are in this life. You stay pure while someone else, someone like me and my Rajput clan, does the sinning and the killing. While you religiously refrain yourself from bloodying your hands, you lend vast sums of money to finance the mightiest armies at minuscule decimal point percentages which add up to monstrous sums of interest. ~ Kiran Nagarkar
Percentages quotes by Kiran Nagarkar
India is a youthful country. A country with such a major percentage of youth has the capability to change not only its own, but the fate of the entire world. ~ Narendra Modi
Percentages quotes by Narendra Modi
We are taught to reinvent ourselves all the time. And nature is teaching us. What is necessary for us to do to create sustainability? There's a shift that has to take hold in our thinking, and it's hard to know when it's going to click for the larger percentage of us. ~ Horst Rechelbacher
Percentages quotes by Horst Rechelbacher
The GOP can't even envision winning the White House if we lose a significant percentage of the Hispanic vote. ~ Luis Fortuno
Percentages quotes by Luis Fortuno
The Rule of 72 is useful in determining how fast money will grow. Take the annual return from any investment, expressed as a percentage, and divide it into 72. The result is the number of years it will take to double your money. ~ Peter Lynch
Percentages quotes by Peter Lynch
So tell me, Ray, what are the percentages you would put in stocks? What percentage in gold? and so on."...
"First, he said, we need 30% in stocks (for instance, the S&P 500 or other indexes for further diversification in this basket)...
"Then you need long-term government bonds. Fifteen percent in intermediate term [seven- to ten-year Treasuries] and forty percent in long-term bonds [20- to 25-year Treasuries]."...
He rounded out the portfolio with 7.5% in gold and 7.5% in commodities...
Lastly, the portfolio must be rebalanced. Meaning, when one segment does well, you must sell a portion and reallocate back to the original allocation. This should be done at least annually, and, if done properly, can actually increase tax efficiency. p390 ~ Tony Robbins
Percentages quotes by Tony Robbins
If two percent of all the films made in Hollywood are really artistically worthy - and I think it's a lot more than two percent - that's a pretty big percentage of things that will outlive their own generation. ~ Murray Horwitz
Percentages quotes by Murray Horwitz
I don't read good reviews. I like to know what percentages are going on. When Sony sends out something saying that people are liking the movie, I like to know that, but I don't actually sit and read the good stuff. ~ Evan Goldberg
Percentages quotes by Evan Goldberg
Gambling is not as destructive as war or as boring as pornography. It is not as immoral as business or as suicidal as watching television. And the percentages are better than religion. ~ Mario Puzo
Percentages quotes by Mario Puzo
It's really important, obviously, for people to realize that it is a very small percentage, only 1 percent of our total economy, of our total budget, and I think that's important for people to know. But I also know that Americans are very generous and that many, many Americans are proud that their taxpayer dollar has saved lives in Africa through the president's malaria initiative or through PEPFAR, the emergency relief plan for AIDS. ~ Laura Bush
Percentages quotes by Laura Bush
What can the Church do? If she stands by her moral teaching, then she will be seen as standing in judgement over a vast percentage of Europeans. ~ Timothy Radcliffe
Percentages quotes by Timothy Radcliffe
My whole team, it wasn't about putting the album out, it was about getting off the record company and going independent or going to another label. To the point we were like, 'Listen, just take 'Lasers.' You can have whatever percentage off the next ten records I do for the rest of my life. I just do not want to be here anymore.' ~ Lupe Fiasco
Percentages quotes by Lupe Fiasco
I want to be in the small percentage of women who don't settle for conventional roles. ~ Zoe Saldana
Percentages quotes by Zoe Saldana
As you give to fund God's needs, are you forced to trust Him to provide for yours? That's what a growing faith is about. And over the long haul, it's not enough just to commit to a percentage. Growth means reviewing your giving goals and occasionally increasing the percentage you give. ~ Andy Stanley
Percentages quotes by Andy Stanley
There will be certain points of time when everything collides together and reaches critical mass around a new concept or a new thing that ends up being hugely relevant to a high percentage of people or businesses. But it's really really hard to predict those. I don't believe anyone can. ~ Marc Andreessen
Percentages quotes by Marc Andreessen
We want to reduce the size of government in half as a percentage of GNP over the next 25 years. We want to reduce the number of people depending on government so there is more autonomy and more free citizens. ~ Grover Norquist
Percentages quotes by Grover Norquist
The rate of return on Social Security for people nearing retirement is about 1.5 percent. By the time young children like mine are ready to retire, that rate of return will be a negative percentage. ~ Paul Ryan
Percentages quotes by Paul Ryan
The lurking tragedy: The chances are that an accident will some day happen to you at a friend's dinner table ... As long as water and coffee and jelly exist, a certain percentage of each will necessarily be overturned upon a like number of snowy white tablecloths. Usually the tragedy is really no one's fault. ~ Mary Elizabeth Clark
Percentages quotes by Mary Elizabeth Clark
Consequently, a young business often grows by large percentages. Mature businesses rarely do. ~ Roy H. Williams
Percentages quotes by Roy H. Williams
One thing I was thinking about is that they probably get their come-uppance about the same percentage that people in real life do. Basically, stealing for all practical purposes might as well be legal in New York. ~ Mike Judge
Percentages quotes by Mike Judge
Say you were standing with one foot in the oven and one foot in an ice bucket. According to the percentage people, you should be perfectly comfortable. ~ Bobby Bragan
Percentages quotes by Bobby Bragan
Why is it fair that I should be paying a higher percentage of taxes than anyone else? ~ Sheldon Adelson
Percentages quotes by Sheldon Adelson
Being a white South African, I enjoyed the better things that that country gave to a small percentage of its population. ~ Dave Matthews
Percentages quotes by Dave Matthews
Every time you say yes to a film there's a certain percentage of your yes that has to do with the director, a certain percentage to do with the story, a certain percentage with the character, the location, etc. ~ Guy Pearce
Percentages quotes by Guy Pearce
I land a higher percentage of punches than any boxer in boxing. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Percentages quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
And then to end up with a total of 347 wins, averaging 10 regular season wins for 33 years and the best winning percentage, and I'm very proud of this, of any professional team from 1970 to 1996. ~ Don Shula
Percentages quotes by Don Shula
The point here is ... to be just a little less arrogant. To have just a little critical awareness about myself and my certainties. Because a huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded. ~ David Foster Wallace
Percentages quotes by David Foster Wallace
A lot of coaches play percentages when it comes to me, but that's just a way of saying that you can't stop me. ~ Shaquille O'Neal
Percentages quotes by Shaquille O'Neal
As incisively pointed out in the documentary Food Inc.," an overwhelmingly large percentage of "new," healthy," and "organic" alternative food products are actually owned by the same parent companies that scared us into the organic aisle in the first place. "They got you comin' and goin'" has never been truer. ~ Anthony Bourdain
Percentages quotes by Anthony Bourdain
What's interesting is that both men and women are struggling with this issue in remarkably similar percentages, but the big difference is that women tend to talk about this when men keep it silent. ~ James Levine
Percentages quotes by James Levine
The available divorce data show that marital breakdown is now considerably more common in the Bible Belt than in the secular Northeast ... The percentages of broken families and unwed mothers remained higher in places like Arkansas and Oklahoma than in New York and Massachusetts. ~ Joe Conason
Percentages quotes by Joe Conason
That kid who lives in the projects, he has a self-esteem problem - everybody looks down on him. He may be a good kid, but other parents don't want their kids to be with them because percentages say they could be bad. I went through a lot of that. ~ Kenny Troutt
Percentages quotes by Kenny Troutt
People in New York pay attention to national issues - a huge percentage of people. ~ Sydney Schanberg
Percentages quotes by Sydney Schanberg
I thought cocaine was a fantastic drug. A wonder drug, like everybody else. It gave you [an] energy burst. You could stay awake for days on end, and it was just marvelous and I didn't think it was evil at all. I put it almost in the same category as marijuana, only hell of a lot better. It was a tremendous energy boost. It gave the feeling, a high, but nobody knew, well maybe a small percentage of people knew. But eventually everybody knew how evil it really was. ~ George Jung
Percentages quotes by George Jung
The Broadway audience is made up of a greater percentage of tourists now. There's not nearly as much variety and danger and challenge in what's being offered. ~ John Lithgow
Percentages quotes by John Lithgow
There were a large number of Jews who held more favorable positions than they should have, according to their percentage of the population. Germans should have held those positions. ~ Otto Ohlendorf
Percentages quotes by Otto Ohlendorf
The question has been raised, General Ia, as to whether or not you already know the outcome of this tribunal. Do you?" he asked her. "Is that why you're trying to avoid being here? To avoid being bored?"

"Sirs, I deal in percentages. There are eight possible outcomes to this tribunal which are greater than one percent in their probability, and fifty-two possible outcomes that are less than one percent, most being less than one-tenth of one percent. However small those minor possibilities are, I cannot rule them out as an outcome. I was shot in the shoulder with a handheld laser cannon on a less than three percent probability, which most people would consider to be a highly unlikely outcome. I was also elevated to the rank of a four-star General, never mind that I am now a five-star, on a less than one-hundred-thousandth of a percent, when the largest percentile, forty-seven percent, was that I should have been elevated only to the rank of Rear Admiral.

"As for being bored . . . I actually would prefer to be here because that means nobody would be attacking our colonies. But they are, and that means my preferences must take second place to my sense of duty. I will admit I have sat through this tribunal around eight or nine times in the timestreams, examining those eight largest percentiles," Ia added candidly. "This has left me very familiar with the majority of all evidence the prosecution will be presenting against me . . . but again, the outcome is nev ~ Jean Johnson
Percentages quotes by Jean Johnson
The unusual is only found in a very small percentage, except in literary creations, and that is exactly what makes literature. ~ Julio Cortazar
Percentages quotes by Julio Cortazar
For years we have been counseled to have on hand a year's supply of food. Yet there are some today who will not start storing until the Church comes out with a detailed monthly home storage program. Now suppose that never happens. We still cannot say we have not been told. Should the Lord decide at this time to cleanse the Church- and the need for that cleansing seems to be increasing- a famine in this land of one year's duration could wipe out a large percentage of slothful members, including some ward and stake officers. Yet we cannot say we have not been warned. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Percentages quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
On-base percentage is great if you can score runs and do something with that on-base percentage. Clogging up the bases isn't that great to me. The problem we have to address more than anything is the home run problem. ~ Dusty Baker
Percentages quotes by Dusty Baker
I'm very hopeful that we'll see some change in our food system. I don't know how far we'll go, or how quickly we'll get there, but there is no question that a significant percentage of the American public is dissatisfied with the food system. ~ Michael Pollan
Percentages quotes by Michael Pollan
Actors are part of a certain percentage of people on this planet who have an emotional vocabulary as a primary experience. It's as if their life is experienced emotionally and then that is translated intellectually or conceptually into the performance. ~ Mary McDonnell
Percentages quotes by Mary McDonnell
The first big effects will be farmers that live on the edge. Today's weather, they barely get by. Their kids, a high percentage are malnourished, and so if you impose more variable weather and more heat, you're getting more floods, more droughts, and during the germination time, the high heat, most crops ... do poorly when there's more heat. ~ Bill Gates
Percentages quotes by Bill Gates
In America today, the percentage of children and adolescents who are defined as overweight is more than double what it was in the early 1970s. ~ Lois Capps
Percentages quotes by Lois Capps
The risk of an investment is described by both the probability and the potential amount of loss. The risk of an investment-the probability of an adverse outcome-is partly inherent in its very nature. A dollar spent on biotechnology research is a riskier investment than a dollar used to purchase utility equipment. The former has both a greater probability of loss and a greater percentage of the investment at stake. ~ Seth Klarman
Percentages quotes by Seth Klarman
But Hitler didn't strive for the annihilation of the Jews - he stressed that fact in public life and in the newspapers. Hitler merely said at the beginning that Jewish influence was too great, that of all the lawyers in Berlin, eighty percent were Jewish. Hitler thought that a small percentage of the people, the Jews, should not be allowed to control the theater, cinema, radio, et cetera. ~ Franz Von Papen
Percentages quotes by Franz Von Papen
The music scene as I look at it today is a little different from when I was growing up. The percentages are roughly the same - 95 percent rubbish, 5 percent pure. ~ Eric Clapton
Percentages quotes by Eric Clapton
After Daskalos returned to his armchair and was getting ready to continue our discussion I asked him whether the affliction of that man was due to karmic debts.

" 'All illnesses are due to Karma,' Daskalos replied. 'It is either the result of your own debts or the debts of others you love.'

" 'I can understand paying for one's own Karma but what does it mean paying the Karma of someone you love?' I asked.

" 'What do you think Christ meant,' Daskalos said, 'when he urged us to bear one another's burdens?'

" 'Karma,' Daskalos explained, 'has to be paid off in one way or another. This is the universal law of balance. So when we love someone, we may assist him in paying part of his debt. But this,' he said, 'is possible only after that person has received his 'lesson' and therefore it would not be necessary to pay his debt in full. When most of the Karma has been paid off someone else can assume the remaining burden and relieve the subject from the pain. When we are willing to do that,' Daskalos continued, 'the Logos will assume nine-tenths of the remaining debt and we would actually assume only one-tenth. Thus the final debt that will have to be paid would be much less and the necessary pain would be considerably reduced. These are not arbitrary percentages,' Daskalos insisted, 'but part of the nature of things. ~ Kyriacos C. Markides
Percentages quotes by Kyriacos C. Markides
If you're troubled by the fact that 80/10 doesn't add up to 100, you've discovered the second confusing thing about the Rule. The 80 and the 20 are percentages of different things, and thus don't need to equal 100. ~ Chris Anderson
Percentages quotes by Chris Anderson
Employees pay the highest percentage of taxes. Big business and investors pay the least. ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Percentages quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
In many respects, this country is becoming an oligarchy, with a tiny percentage of America owning the media, owning the country. ~ Bernie Sanders
Percentages quotes by Bernie Sanders
Percentage margins don't matter. What matters always is dollar margins: the actual dollar amount. Companies are valued not on their percentage margins, but on how many dollars they actually make, and a multiple of that. ~ Jeff Bezos
Percentages quotes by Jeff Bezos
If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it up on the scoreboard? ~ Jeff Francoeur
Percentages quotes by Jeff Francoeur
After lunch we went into the garden for coffee and I turned on the Surgeon-General with his graphics, percentages etc. of sick and wounded to entertain the Premier. ~ Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig
Percentages quotes by Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig
If you actually are a doctor and admitted it, you'd say, 'I don't cure a huge percentage, I don't have a 50 percent cure rate .. (but) I can have a 100 percent compassion rate,'. ~ Patch Adams
Percentages quotes by Patch Adams
I don't think baseball could survive without all the statistical appurtenances involved in calculating pitching, hitting and fielding percentages. Some people could do without the games as long as they got the box scores. ~ John M. Culkin
Percentages quotes by John M. Culkin
In my practice, the majority of mutation carriers choose mastectomy; however, for those without cancer, they have much more control over the timing. For younger women, we might wait until they have found a life partner, or until after childbearing. Older women who find out they carry a mutation have unwittingly escaped a large percentage of their risk, and therefore, the calculated future risk is not necessarily a daunting number. ~ Kristi Funk
Percentages quotes by Kristi Funk
An appallingly high percentage of doctors and other practitioners are still pretty much out of the loop regarding trigger points, despite their having been written about in medical journals for over sixty years. ~ Clair Davies
Percentages quotes by Clair Davies
Percentage margins are not one of the things we are seeking to optimize. It's the absolute dollar free cash flow per share that you want to maximize, and if you can do that by lowering margins, we would do that. So if you could take the free cash flow, that's something that investors can spend. Investors can't spend percentage margins. ~ Jeff Bezos
Percentages quotes by Jeff Bezos
There is a percentage of people who want to be a little bit outside their comfort zone and I am one of them, someone who lives on the edge. ~ Alain Robert
Percentages quotes by Alain Robert
Errors of reductionism and biodeterminism take over in such silly statements as "Intelligence is 60 percent genetic and 40 percent environmental." A 60 percent (or whatever) "heritability" for intelligence means no such thing. We shall not get this issue straight until we realize that the "interactionism" we all accept does not permit such statements as "Trait x is 29 percent environmental and 71 percent genetic." When causative factors (more than two, by the way) interact so complexly, and throughout growth, to produce an intricate adult being, we cannot, in principle, parse that being's behavior into quantitative percentages of remote root causes. The adult being is an emergent entity who must be understood at his own level and in his own totality. The truly salient issues are malleability and flexibility, not fallacious parsing by percentages. A trait may be 90 percent heritable, yet entirely malleable. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Percentages quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
Metal guys are huge nerds. A good percentage of them are either horror or sci-fi or comic book or fantasy nerds. ~ Scott Ian
Percentages quotes by Scott Ian
First, there are some of my readers who only read Hap and Leonard, not the other stuff, and some who don't read Hap and Leonard, but a large percentage are crossover readers. And yes, I did refuse to go to Vietnam and it looked like prison was in my future, but they sent me to the psychiatrist and he gave me a 1-Y, which is unfit for military service essentially. ~ Joe R. Lansdale
Percentages quotes by Joe R. Lansdale
True buoyant leaders can never communicate in percentage points, or charts and figures. First and foremost, they must be storytellers, communicating with their hearts, not heads. ~ Kevin Allen
Percentages quotes by Kevin Allen
Only a small percentage of novelists, painters, musicians, scientists, anywhere in the world, are talented. But there are many more in Hollywood than one would expect from looking movies. ~ Hortense Powdermaker
Percentages quotes by Hortense Powdermaker
But the indisputable fact is, a huge percentage of Obama's voters are basically wards of the state. There are millions of them, and they have no intention of voting for anyone who might want them to ever go out and work for a living - 'no matter what.' ~ Howie Carr
Percentages quotes by Howie Carr
Asked to make a list of the men who have most dominated the thinking of the modern world, many educated people would name Freud, Einstein, Marx and Darwin. Of these four, only Darwin was not Jewish. In a world where Jews are only a tiny percentage of the population, what is the secret of the disproportionate importance the Jews have had in the history of Western culture? ~ Ernest Van Den Haag
Percentages quotes by Ernest Van Den Haag
A great percentage of the mistakes I discovered in
my own work, could be attributed to testimonies. ~ Raul Hilberg
Percentages quotes by Raul Hilberg
A very large percentage of economic activity is shifting online and it makes sense that there are more services that are going to charge. It also means there are going to be more people willing to pay. ~ Marc Andreessen
Percentages quotes by Marc Andreessen
Of the seven billion people who reside on planet Earth, only 25% could, in the broadest sense of the word, be classified as "Christian" (and the percentage who have personally trusted in Christ for salvation is much smaller), meaning that over five billion people in the world are destined to hell if indeed Christ offers the exclusive path for salvation. To many people, such a claim is offensive. ~ Robert Jeffress
Percentages quotes by Robert Jeffress
It would take little more than $50 billion to raise every poor person above the official poverty line, yet the percentage of the population classified as poor hardly budges, while annual welfare spending amounts to four times that much. Where's the money going? ~ Robert Higgs
Percentages quotes by Robert Higgs
Golf is a percentage game, and I play the percentages. ~ Byron Nelson
Percentages quotes by Byron Nelson
The percentage of couples who stay together after high school is, like, less than five percent, you guys. ~ Simone Elkeles
Percentages quotes by Simone Elkeles
The railroads are not run for the benefit of the dear public. That cry is nonsense. They are built for men who invest their money and expect to get a fair percentage of the same. ~ William Henry Vanderbilt
Percentages quotes by William Henry Vanderbilt
We have a higher percentage of the intelligentsia engaged in buying and selling pieces of paper and promoting trading activity than in any past era. A lot of what I see now reminds me of Sodomand Gomorrah. You get activity feeding on itself, envy and imitation. It has happened in the past that there came bad consequences. ~ Charlie Munger
Percentages quotes by Charlie Munger
He talked about luck and fate and numbers coming up, yet he never ventured a nickel at the casinos because he knew the house had all the percentages. And beneath his pessimism, his bleak conviction that all the machinery was rigged against him, at the bottom of his soul was a faith that he was going to outwit it, that by carefully watching the signs he was going to know when to dodge and be spared. It was fatalism with a loophole, and all you had to do to make it work was never miss a sign. Survival by coordination, as it were. The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but to those who can see it coming and jump aside. Like a frog evading a shillelagh in a midnight marsh. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Percentages quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Percentages are why I am rich. ~ Brigitte Bardot
Percentages quotes by Brigitte Bardot
[Robert] Capa: He was a good friend and a great and very brave photographer. It is bad luck for everybody that the percentages caught up with him. It is especially bad for Capa. (On Capa's death in Vietnam, May, 27, 1954) ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Percentages quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
Since the day Martin Luther King was killed, the black middle classes have almost quadrupled, but the percentage of black children living on or below the poverty line is almost the same. ~ Henry Louis Gates
Percentages quotes by Henry Louis Gates
You can't tell me what we're doing right now is not working. The perception is, well, it's not. I don't deal in perception. I want to deal in reality. The reality of the matter is that the percentage of guys who are taking has gone way down. ~ Tom Glavine
Percentages quotes by Tom Glavine
Oh, shut up. He is not saying that he's too good-looking to be friends with girls. But then again, yesterday at the beach, there were a high percentage of beach beauties sitting very close to us and/or sauntering repeatedly past. And he never looked up once. I snort. You poor handsome thing. If only you were ugly, then girls wouldn't have to throw themselves at you all the time. I could break your perfect nose for you, if it'd make your life easier. ~ Kiersten White
Percentages quotes by Kiersten White
