"I think that's something that investment banks have worried about for a long time and are continuing to worry about, but it's not an easy solution when you have lots of people betting the company's money, how do you really allocate those risks? How do you make sure that the people that take the risks are feeling the risks in an appropriate kind of fashion?"

-- Robert F. Engle

“You're in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.”
“There are many things which we can afford to forget which it is yet well to learn.”
“there was an assumption that I was personally attacking Sarah Palin by impersonating her on TV. No one ever said it was 'mean' when Chevy Chase played Gerald Ford falling down all the time. No one ever accused Dana Carvey or Darrell Hammond or Dan Aykroyd of 'going too far' in their political impressions. You see what I'm getting at here. I am not mean and Mrs. Palin is not fragile. To imply otherwise is a disservice to us both.”
“Be Royal in your Own Fashion: Act like a King to be treated”
“When we are ready, [Jesus Christ's] pure love instantly moves across time and space, reaches down, and pulls us up from the depths of any tumultuous sea of darkness, sin, sorrow, death, or despair we may find ourselves in and brings us into the light and life and love of eternity.”
“I like hip-hop music, but some of the lyrics make me want to cry.”
“Let me tell you, though - thereâ€™s a huge difference between Flanders and Parisâ€“Roubaix. Theyâ€™re not even close to the same. In one, the cobbles are used every day by the cars, and kept up, and stuff like that. The other one - itâ€™s completely different â€¦ The best I could do would be to describe it like this - they plowed a dirt road, flew over it with a helicopter, and then just dropped a bunch of rocks out of the helicopter! Thatâ€™s Parisâ€“Roubaix. Itâ€™s that bad - itâ€™s ridiculous.”
“It does seem that the sea ice is returning to 'average' after the record lows of 2007 and 2008. There has been a definite recovery trend since then, so far from being a progression towards ice free summers it seems that it was a temporary dip. The recent observations do make the 2007 projections that the region would be ice free by 2013 look very unrealistic. Given what is happening only the foolish would look many years into the future and predict ice free summers now.”
