“I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn't got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn't get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.” YearsHardGoalUnitedAttentionToo MuchPlayerHard WorkQuietVoteEnglandIntelligentRateVery GoodScoreAssetsProfileManchesterLadManchester UnitedScholesFlamboyantHigh ProfilePaul Scholes Author:Tony Adams

“I don't think the Federal Reserve has any role in how high rates are right now. I don't understand why everyone is paying attention to this tapering. The Fed is using one kind of bond to buy another kind of bond. What's the big deal, and why is anyone taking the Fed seriously?” ThinkingKindBigsDealsAttentionRolesRight NowRateInvestingPay AttentionFedsReservesBig DealFederal ReserveTapering Author:Eugene Fama
“Regardless of how you feel about peak oil or global warming, the increased use of natural gas is a positive thing because it is being found at a rate that is faster than that of new oil reserves, it is relatively abundant, and our reserves are longer lived than our oil reserves... It does not get the kind of attention it deserves.” FeelsKindDoeUseFoundNaturalAttentionDeserveRateOilFasterGlobal WarmingGasReservesHow You FeelPositive ThingsNatural GasPeak Oil Author:Robert Bryce
“People (a group that in my opinion has always attracted an undue amount of attention) have often been likened to snowflakes. This analogy is meant to suggest that each is unique - no two alike. This is quite patently not the case. People, even at the current rate of inflation - in fact, people especially at the current rate of inflation - are quite simply a dime a dozen. And, I hasten to add, their only similarity to snowflakes resides in their invariably and lamentable tendency to turn, after a few warm days, to slush.” PeopleTwoFactsTurnsAttentionOpinionCasesGroupsAmountUniqueAddRateCurrentsWarmTendenciesDozenInflationSimilarityAnalogiesDimesSnowflakeSlush Book:The Fran Lebowitz Reader Source: The Fran Lebowitz Reader
