Quotes by Peter Hilton
It is a wry commentary on the value-system in the United States that one speaks there of “teacher training” and “driver education.”

Computation involves going from a question to an answer. Mathematics involves going from an answer to a question.
They're reporting significant loss but we've seen a very good recovery in demand from the business traveller and that's high yield,
They grounded 45% of their fleet at the worst point. It was by far the most aggressive response to SARS,
Things have improved better than expected but it was quite possible SARS would linger for many months more than it did.
Even Cathay expects to have its flight pretty much back in the air at the end of next month. And I suspect airlines in general will be reducing the level of discounts over the next month or so.
