This story, I predict, will grow to be worse than Watergate. The American people need to have the answers.
You cannot predict how well a film will do.
I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It’s universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I’ve learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.
It is not the case that I can predict your views knowing that you are a white male. I cannot predict your views if you are a black female, and it is height of both arrogance and condescension to think that somebody can be type casted on the base of.

If the worst comes true, and the paper book joins the papyrus scroll and parchment codex in extinction, we will miss, I predict, a number of things about it.

I hope I left behind a legacy that people will enjoy. But whatever they want to say, I can’t predict.
It is a test of true theories not only to account for but to predict phenomena.

By increasing the pay of participants to a living wage, it can act as a jobs program that, rather than trying to predict what will be technically viable jobs, will value social support and provide jobs that make communities stronger.
For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein’s general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.
The one thing we pride ourselves on the most with writing ‘Car Share’ is that it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen and that’s hard to achieve, especially with comedy.
Cameras can look down from on high and predict crop yields, traffic in Walmart parking lots, and travel patterns on Labor Day weekend. On the ground, they form the foundation of autonomous-driving systems.

I can predict things. I can improve the uptime and the reliability. I can intervene and cause a better outcome before there’s a problem.
We are at war – undeclared and of such a subtle nature that few have noticed – but war nevertheless. It is a cyberwar on many fronts, in which it is difficult to identify who is friend and who is foe. I will predict now, as unintelligible as it may seem, that Anonymous will turn out to be more friend than foe.
I predict after this whole thing is over, what we’ll remember about the failed candidacy of Donald Trump is, ‘You’re fired.’
The false prophets of Communism predict a utopian society.

The Giro’s difficult to predict for the points jersey because there are so many mountain-top finishes and there are as many points on offer for mountain stages as for sprints. It’s really for the most consistent all-round rider and it’s pretty difficult for me to win it.

The thing I love about my career is the variety and that people can’t predict what I’m going to do next.
