Factor Quotations

I've heard time and again from small business owners in Ohio that extending bonus depreciation is the single biggest factor in allowing their businesses to grow. Allowing companies to use these tools for capital reinvestment is a common-sense way to encourage job creation.

I love both sports, but the deciding factor was, being a left-handed pitcher, I had a huge advantage in baseball because of that, and I didn't have that type of advantage in hockey.

It's very hard when you do photocalls. You have to be on time, you have to be all cheesy smiles, and have your hair and make-up done, and be into it. It's not like a photoshoot. You have to really put the cheese factor in. I think you have to be more willing to go for it.

Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem, and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence - and how high he or she is likely to rise. The reputation you have with yourself - your self-esteem - is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life.

Color is definitely an important factor for me during all phases of producing a cover. I always start out with a loose idea of what I want to see when I'm doing my initial sketches. This choice can be informed by anything, but I usually tend to lean toward more simple color schemes... something with a very obvious push between warms and cools.

Sports exact too harsh a toll on our beautiful women. Like engendered species, they should be protected, and instead, we exploit them and demand they fly too close to the sun for our amusement. We send them into the arena for an exhausting three-setter, an 18-hole playoff, a 200th lap. The burnout factor is insurmountable.

Personally, I believe that government, rather than money, tends to be the primary factor limiting the development of new technologies.

My experiment in money exchange was the temptation to set up a bank. The absence of any Islamic banking was also another factor in establishing Al-Rajhi Bank, which is now the world's biggest Islamic lender by market value.

The factor most ignored in discussing interstellar flight is the kinetic energy that must be invested in the ship to make its tons of matter move at a substantial fraction of the speed of light.

Betting on the success of innovative technologies in the marketplace can carry all the uncertainty and risk that betting on the next card in the deck does at a blackjack table in Las Vegas. There is a factor of randomness that must be factored in, but precisely how to do so is anyone's guess.

To be honest, the piece of clothing from a man's wardrobe I wear most often, to bed and around the house, is my boyfriend's underwear. I think it's infinitely unfair that women are compelled to wear underwear with a comfort factor of zero whilst men stroll around in essentially the most comfortable item of clothing ever made.

I knew there was a way to blend records together, but I didn't know how to. This was haunting me when I was in my teens. In my frustration, I decided to start experimenting with electronics.

Because I teach and write about depression and bipolar illness, I am often asked what is the most important factor in treating bipolar disorder. My answer is competence. Empathy is important, but competence is essential.

Harassment is the background radiation of my life. It is a factor in every decision I make. Any time I tweet something or make a post, I'm always thinking about it.

I'm a chocoholic. I need chocolate every day, like one little piece of Droste. I'm not into milk chocolate. But I don't like it when its super bitter. I need a sweet factor in there. I go for the 75 percent - that's good enough for me.

I understand that in some industries, the input cost of energy is a major factor in whether an industry is going to locate in the United States or go elsewhere.

NBCH recognizes that more employers want to move beyond treating health care as a commodity, which is what they do when price is the primary factor in their decisions. Informed employers are looking for resources to help them make use of quality and other performance metrics that are now available.

The eValue8 data is one more tool available to our members in determining the best health plan for their business and employees.

I wouldn't take the reaction of the fans as a factor in which player I sign. I would be amazed if he didn't get a good reaction when he comes back.

I guess I'm naive. I really had no idea it would be a problem. I just heard the deciding factor could be thrusting. Apparently, anything over three thrusts and you're in trouble. Well, nobody told me. I didn't even do covering shots, so there's nothing I can cut away to. This is what you get.

Some companies have a policy of currency hedging, and you have to factor that into the picture.

Of all of my assignments, that was the most wonderful. The people were great. But most people don't realize the seven to 10 jobs that priests are doing as one job. That is a contributing factor to priest burnout.

Obviously (winning on the road) is a long time coming. The passion with which this team has been playing as of late, whether it's in practice or in games, is really something that's going to be the determining factor in whether we're able to get those wins on the road. I think tonight we were unfortunate to be tied up twice, but to continue to come back and continue to fight (showed that we were) passionate about the effort we were giving.

Of course, the most important factor of all for long life is a good family. When a person goes home with the wife or the kids giving him endless headaches, then it's hard for that person to enjoy a long life. I am very fortunate, because my wife Elizabeth and my obedient children are very good; they have given me happiness.

Obviously, we wanted a better effort and we wanted to play smarter. We need to go back to basics and play a simpler game. Frustration is a big factor and hard to control, but we have to find a way.

One of the things I'm blessed with is that I can go 10-11 deep. I'm able to rotate speed in there and keep speed. That was a big factor tonight.

One of the things that young players have to not only learn but gain an admiration for is the respect factor of the game and the people who have participated in previous years, and an understanding of the history of the organization they are playing in. It's an organization very rich in tradition.

No one believes that we would get that top figure. There is speculation that it would be between the 19 and 21 million additional dollars. If you factor in declining enrollment, we'll probably receive a little bit more than we did last year.

One factor that commonly comes up in towns that install wireless early is that they didn't have something like DSL available. We have DSL, now we have cable modems, now we have several options. Sometimes the good enough is the enemy of the better. The fact that we've got good enough for most people slows it down.

One big factor was that Williams had a miraculous game. He hit some open shots, but he also hit some other shots when we were right on him. He probably got confidence from making the open ones, then that enabled him to make the difficult ones.

More than anything, I'm impressed with Rayfield. He's a tremendous player. Not only is he a great shooter, I think he relishes the big shots. He likes to take them and he likes to be a factor in big games.

No one is going to convince me that if a bunch of white faces had been paraded out there, that the results of this would not have been different. Certainly, the issue of economics and race played a factor in this. When it comes down to it, there is an us and them. And I don't know how to change that.

Maybe the team's performance up to the time he left was a factor of his health. I just don't know all those things. So, it is kind of a difficult thing to assess. We'll just wait and see.

Plymouth has 62,000 acres of land, of which 26,000 acres are tax exempt. Creating a more diverse tax base really was a factor in this decision.

Perhaps the spirit of adventure, be it mental or material adventure, is a factor so essential in human progress that no emphasis of it is undue.

Neither of these are particularly sensitive to the economics. They have other reasons why they're buying this. There's a question as to how large those groups are, but once you get to more mainstream buying groups, then economics really begins to take over as a primary factor in that decision.

Obesity is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
