Our rewards in life will always be in direct ratio to our service.
Earl Nightingale
Image
There was a danger that skeptics and opponents would misread those likelihood ratio tests as rejections of an entire class of models, which of course they were not.
Thomas J. Sargent
Image
I'd like to stand up for the rights of people who put everything on their burger - chutney, mustard, pickle, mustard pickle, tomato sauce... It is common knowledge in my family that I can't tell the difference between a veggie burger and a meat one, because the ratio of burger to pickles is so high.
Terry Pratchett
Image
A magazine or a newspaper is a shop. Each is an experiment and represents a new focus, a new ratio between commerce and intellect.
John Jay Chapman

Had population and food increased in the same ratio, it is probable that man might never have emerged from the savage state.
Thomas Malthus
Image
The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron .... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been finely adjusted to make possible the development of life.
Stephen Hawking

When you are a writer the assist-to-turnover ratio...there are a lot more turnovers than assists. It's just the nature of the beast.
Jeff Baena

I am involved with 'Write Girl,' which is such a great organization, because they go into inner city schools and work with underprivileged girls to pair them up with other writers. And it gets them learning to express themselves and become familiar with their own voice. They have a 100% success ratio getting those girls into college.
Melissa Rosenberg

For a manager to be perceived as a positive manager, they need a four to one positive to negative contact ratio.
Ken Blanchard
Image
Most actors are very deeply passionate about their line of work. I suppose there are probably people who sell insurance policies that are passionate about it, but I'm thinking the ratio is a little higher for actors. But, I may be wrong.
Greg Kinnear

The ratio of male to female characters in movies has been exactly the same since 1946. So if you've ever had people say, you know, It's better now, it's all changed, it's all different, it's not, it hasn't. Not yet.
Geena Davis
Image
If I have read religious history aright, faith, hope, and charity have not always been found in a direct ratio with a sensibility to the three concords and it is possible, thank heaven! to have very erroneous theories and very sublime feelings.
George Eliot
Image
Some directors, like Stevens [George Stevens], shoot full circle, 360 degrees, and that's what's right for them. I generally shoot at about a seven to one ratio. But part of that is because I've worked on every screenplay, so I'm further along in the visual concept.
Elia Kazan
Image
The ratio of people to cake is too big.
Stephen Root
Image
It's nonsensical to derive a price/earnings ratio by dividing the known current price by unknown future earnings.
Benjamin Graham
Image
If you do something often enough, a ratio will appear
Jim Rohn

I couldn't tell you the ratio, but probably for every job you see me do, there would be 20 rejections.
Noel Clarke
Image
There were so many great music and political scenes going on in the late '60s in Cambridge. The ratio of guys to girls at Harvard was four to one, so all of those things were playing in my mind.
Bonnie Raitt
Image
Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Germany is too big to sit on the sidelines on world issues. Military force is not the ultima ratio it used to be, but it can be used, with care.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier
Image
If editors truly want to improve their byline ratio, they need to stop lamenting the fact that few women journalists send them cold pitches and start taking a hard look at their stable of regular contributors. How many women are on the masthead? How many women columnists or bloggers are on the payroll? This is how real change is going to happen.
Ann Friedman
Image
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio.
Thomas Malthus
Image
The premises being thus settled, I proceed to observe that the concatenation of self-existence, proceeding in a reciprocal duplicate ratio, naturally produces a problematical dialogism, which in some measure proves that the essence of spirituality may be referred to the second predicable.
