For every six crappy poems you read, you`ll actually find one or two good ones. And that, believe me, is a very acceptable ratio of trash to treasure.
Stephen King
When a documentary filmmaker, working in the style that I do, suggests that there has been a shooting ratio of 40 hours to every one hour of finished film, that doesn`t mean that the other 39 are bad.
Ken Burns
We knew Wayne County was quick on defense. They certainly won the turnover ratio. We missed two field goals early and that took some points away from us. We turned it over and our defense just got wore down.
Ted Taylor
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
People who think they attract mosquitoes are the ones at largest risk of mosquito-borne disease. They`ll have a hundred mosquitoes feed on them when a normally repellent person might have five. It`s that kind of ratio.
Jerry Butler
On Friday, we had a ratio of 12 to 1 of losers to winners. That`s the worst performance since 1997. We also had over 3,000 declining issues. This shows real weakness.
Anisha Queen
It`s probably fair to say that the ratio of time our Connector developers spend in the debugger versus the Emacs buffer is higher than with most software.
American Ballet Theatre
Even after absorbing higher than normal catastrophe losses during the quarter, we were able to post an exceptional 91.2 percent property and casualty combined ratio. This compares to a combined ratio of 89 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004.
John Hayden

Because the school district lies in two counties, I have to pro-rate the amount of tax dollars that I need per county by market-value ratio.
Anne Maschmeyer
Beauty, like truth, is relative to the time when one lives and to the individual who can grasp it. The expression of beauty is in direct ratio to the power of conception the artist has acquired.
Alexa Gromko
As a judge, you look at the basics of a recipe: Does it make sense, does the ratio of ingredients make sense? And is it a crab soup? Some of the entries we get are almost anything but.
John Shields
