Rate Quotations
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible. William Faulkner The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. C. S. Lewis Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent. R. D. Laing I rate enthusiasm even above professional skill. Edward Appleton We believe you will not have to pay more than the current rate structure proposes - which is, for 50 percent of the public, nothing; for another 25 percent, only a 10 percent increase; and for the remaining 25 percent, a 34 percent increase. Gray Davis |
