Of course you want more revenue, but what good is it if it isn't predictable?
Aaron Ross
Image
Failure of success is not race-related it's not socioeconomics-related it is really predictable, based on principles that are laid down by God the Creator by which we are supposed to function. If we find them and obey them, success becomes inevitable. That's why I was able to move from rats to 40,000 feet in the air in my own aircraft.
Myles Munroe

Growing up is a trap, snapped Dr. Robbins. When they tell you to shut up, they mean stop talking. When they tell you to grow up, they mean stop growing. Reach a nice level plateau and settle there, predictable and unchanging, no longer a threat.
Tom Robbins
Image
The great virtue of bureaucracy - indeed, perhaps its defining characteristic ~ was that it was an institutional method for applying general rules to specific cases, thereby making the actions of government fair and predictable.
Max Weber
Image
The Surrealist supernatural is a bit predictable but given the choice between supernatural and anything else, I would have no hesitation. Long live supernatural!
Henri Michaux
Image
Rocky is a very predictable movie. The ending is a foregone conclusion.
Sylvester Stallone
Image
Fire will burn any human body it touches, and starvation will waste it, but stories are not so predictable in their effects.
Laura Miller
Image
Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.
Mark Lawrence

One of the things I love, and I'm a voracious reader as well as a writer, is books that surprise me, that are not predictable.
George R. R. Martin
Image
The assassination at Sarajevo was certainly the crucial precedent of the European war that its conspirators had sought, but was not the historical cause ... The assassination acted as a lever, prying the various powers into predictable paths.
J. Bowyer Bell
Image
Postponing happiness until all your ducks are in order means never because life is not that clean, fair or predictable. It isn't what happens to you that defines your life, it is what you do with it that does.
Laura Schlessinger
Image
In poetry I can let the language go, allow an image that seems out of place to enter and see what happens, always listening to the music that's being created, just like the world around us, never predictable, always shifting and intertwining, reflecting and echoing itself.
Pattiann Rogers
Image
Memory is useful because it gives us a sense of continuity. But memory is also imprisoning because it conditions us in predictable ways.
Deepak Chopra
Image
People are going to have to make themselves predictable, or the machines will get angry and kill them.
Gregory Bateson
Image
Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance - these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.
Isaiah Berlin
Image
I would use the debt limit. I don't want to say - I want to be unpredictable, because, you know, we need unpredictability. Everything is so predictable with our country.
Donald Trump
Image
A single crocus blossom ought to be enough to convince our heart that springtime, no matter how predictable, is somehow a gift, gratuitous, gratis, a grace.
David Steindl-Rast
Image
There's a reason people are not going to Obamacare. They find out what it's gonna cost 'em, and they go somewhere else. And in the process, they're undermining the very foundation of Obamacare, all of which was predictable.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
I think most films are too predictable. They follow familiar patterns. I suppose audiences like to know where they stand but I like films that take me by surprise, take unexpected turns and twists.
John Boorman
Image
America pays its bills. It always has. It always will. The fact that Washington is now debating whether to honor its debts and obligations, then, should come as a surprise. But playing political football with a necessary vote to raise the nation's debt ceiling has become as predictable as a Twitter rant from Charlie Sheen.
Peter Welch
Image
Good design is not about form following function. It is function with cultural content. By adding cultural content to the concept of form follows function, objects cease to be finite or predictable. Maybe the right way to interpret the dictum is to first acknowledge that the function needs to be clearly understood before the form is consid
Carl Magnusson
Image
Was this normalcy-predictable patterns, the certainty of doing the same thing everyday? Because if so, normalcy was about to make me freak out and start screaming.
James Patterson
Image
Attempts to tame the wayward and domesticate the riotous, to make the unknowable predictable and enchain the free-roaming - all such things sound the death knell to love. Eros won't outlast duality. As far as love is concerned, possession, power, fusion and disenchantment are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Zygmunt Bauman
Image
When something happens people didn't predict, they find ways to explain it as if it were predictable.
