Good economic policy requires not so much the bravado to implement drastic change as the strength and wisdom to make reasonable trade-offs over the many years it takes to transform a country's standard of living.
Peter Blair Henry
Image
The Roman Catholic Church is an institution for whose gains the phrase ill-gotten might have been specially invented. And of all its money-making rip-offs, the selling of indulgences must surely rank among the greatest con tricks in history, the medieval equivalent of the Nigerian Internet scam but far more successful.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I love Tom [Waits] for the same reason I love Leonard Cohen, which is that they are both one-offs, templates they both seemed old, or at least dressed old when they were young both kind of lived their careers backwards.
Sylvie Simmons

One of the early tip-offs to me about the enormous changes that were going on with being in a Bangalore house, home, where the young woman from a nearby village, who had been hired to baby sit newborn twins, suddenly said after two weeks of work: 'I'm sorry, this is too much work, I'm going to try applying for call center jobs. The pay is better.'
Bharati Mukherjee

The anointed don't like to talk about painful trade-offs. They like to talk about happy solutionsthat get rid of the whole problem- at least in their imagination.
Thomas Sowell
Image
As best I can tell there was no advance warning of the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, which was the first significant foreign terrorist activity in the U.S. No tip-offs that it was coming.

Some people do rely too much on technology. Look, technology is wonderful and I love it. When I was in the UK and I had hit records I would also have a high tax bill at the end of the year, and that would be the time to buy up all the technology - it was write offs.
Tony Visconti

Spin-offs were never really my thing.
Danny Masterson
Image
When divorces meant marriage no longer provided security for a lifetime, women adjusted by focusing on careers as empowerment. But when the sacrifice of a career met the sacrifices in a career, the fantasy of a career became the reality of trade-offs. Women developed career ambivalence.
Warren Farrell

I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
Elton John
Image
The reality is you don't get stand offs who are expert kickers as well as top drawer runners. The trick is to find a balance but Phil is putting a lot of guys into gaps.
Frank Hadden
Image
I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
Image
I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.
John Lydon
Image
When you choose a language, you're choosing more than a set of technical trade-offs-you're choosing a community.
Joshua Bloch
Image
We have no intention of shutting down plants. We have always said there will be no redundancies or lay-offs as a result of this merger.
Lakshmi Mittal
Image
Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs it's about deliberately choosing to be different.
Michael Porter
Image
There are trade-offs in everything we do in life, and I have accepted that if I would like to be principled - and just principled - my best call would be to sit at home and shut up, because nothing I preached would be connectable to the practice.
Moddi
Image
Sometimes we have to be judged by our one-offs.
Nick Hornby
Image
When someone writes something dazzlingly brilliant, people want to imitate it. The result is a lot of less-than-brilliant knock-offs. Elves, Dwarves, Goblin army, cursed ring, evil sorcerer. Tolkien did it. It rocked. Let's move on. Let's do something new.
Patrick Rothfuss
Image
Acting attracts shy people and show-offs.
Penelope Wilton
Image
As an economist, I'm aware that life is full of trade offs.
Peter Blair Henry
Image
'Revenge' is a shameless soap in the style of Eighties shoulder-pad slap-offs like 'Dallas,' 'Dynasty' and 'Falcon Crest.' Yet there's no wink-wink camp.
Rob Sheffield
Image
There are no solutions there are only trade-offs.
Thomas Sowell
Image
In a budget, how important is art versus music versus athletics versus computer programming? At the end of the day, some of those trade-offs will be made politically.
