Agency Quotations | Page 6

I started a modeling agency and I had it for about five and a half years and it was the same time I was actually working with the WWE and doing SmackDown. It was really the same principles; because me growing up I didn't have the support, I wasn't told, yes you can do that; you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it.

The fact that this agency so quickly and willingly gave in to the demands of an extremist group who uses fringe religious bias and junk science to advance their hurtful agenda is outrageous. We deserve answers, and our GLBT families deserve the same resources as everyone else.

The fact that the Legislature has to approve the budget for an agency that oversees their activities is kind of a conflict of interest.

The fact that he was willing to take less and give up the chance to explore unrestricted free agency demonstrates his commitment to our team, his teammates, our franchise and our incredible fans.

Mma Ramotswe had a detective agency in Africa, at the foot of Kgale Hill. These were its assets: a tiny white van, two desks, two chairs, a telephone, and an old typewriter. Then there was a teapot, in which Mma Ramotswe – the only lady private detective in Botswana – brewed redbush tea. And three mugs – one for herself, one for her secretary, and one for the client. What else does a detective agency really need? Detective agencies rely on human intuition and intelligence, both of which Mma Ramotswe had in abundance. No inventory would ever include those, of course.

I had brought up from Chile a contract agent whose cover was that of a newspaper publisher in Santiago, a young, very talented man, named Dave Phillips, who later on carved quite a career for himself in the agency.

Our enthusiasm for digital technology about which we have little understanding and over which we have little control leads us not toward greater agency, but toward less...We have surrendered the unfolding of a new technological age to a small elite who have seized the capability on offer. But while Renaissance kings maintained their monopoly over the printing press by force, today's elite is depending on little more than our own disinterest.

Corporations [gained] direct access to what we may think of as our humanity, emotions, and agency but, in this context, are really just buttons.

Unfortunately, for the vast majority of us, a vast majority of the time, we surrender our true autonomy to this illusion of agency. I'm as guilty as anybody, and I write about it in a book. I'm not condemning anybody.

Good journalism is being criminalized or otherwise rendered perilous to its best practitioners. Attack a government agency like the CIA, or a Fortune 500 member ..., or the conduct of the military in Southeast Asia and you find yourself in deep trouble, naked and often alone.

Advertising as the printed form of selling would seem . . . ultimately to be justified in so far as it serves as a means of increasing legitimate human wants, as an agency of fair and economic competition in the distribution of goods, and as a stimulant to social progress.

Move decisions out to the Cabinet and agencies. Strengthen them by moving responsibility, authority, and accountability their direction.

But Iran has gone far beyond what is necessary for a purely civilian programme. It has concealed several nuclear facilities from the International Atomic Energy Agency, played hide-and-seek with the international community, and rejected all offers of co-operation from the U.S., the EU, and others.

My mother took my picture to a model agency and the rest is history.

I got a little studio in Chicago and practiced. I realized I had to earn some money. So I went to work for an advertising agency where my job was mostly drawing insects for a company that sold an insecticide spray.

Prayer is not an agency by which my will is to be accomplished upon the earth. The purpose of prayer is to get God's will to be accomplished upon the earth, and so many times we ask and receive not because the motive behind our asking is really that of accomplishing my will rather than God's will.

I was modeling with an agency in New York and a manager with the agency introduced himself to me one day and he said he had auditions for someone my age. He asked if I would be interested in doing some.

I'm not ambitious when it comes to my acting career. I'm not breaking down my agency's doors or sending out headshots. Even when I'm offered work, I always want small parts. When it comes to things that other people have written, I just don't know what I'm doing. I'm terrible at memorizing a script and reading lines. I get confused and I don't understand and it just looks fake to me. It's more difficult for me to be creative that way.

Debt, weve learned, is the match that lights the fire of every crisis. Every crisis has its own set of villains - pick your favorite: bankers, regulators, central bankers, politicians, overzealous consumers, credit rating agencies - but all require one similar ingredient to create a true crisis: too much leverage.

I choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves.

What do you do when other countries' intelligence agencies give you information and you aren't entirely certain about its source? Simply ignore it? That's impossible. We have a duty to guarantee the safety of our citizens.

In my suffrage work, I learned beyond question that the news coming through the great press agencies was colored and distorted; and if this has been done on one subject, it has doubtless been done on others. A good many women, I think, learned a wholesome distrust of press reports during the suffrage struggle.

People behave agentically, but they produce theories that afford people very little agency

It is easy to prescribe improvement for others; it is easy to organize something, to institutionalize this or that, to pass laws, multiply bureaucratic agencies, form pressure groups, start revolutions, change forms of government, tinker at political theory. The fact that these expedients have been tried unsuccessfully in every conceivable combination for 6,000 years has not noticeably impaired a credulous unintelligent willingness to keep on trying them again and again.

The traveler used to go about the world to encounter the natives. A function of travel agencies now is to prevent this encounter.

So, I got into the law enforcement game. I worked for an outfit called Newton Detective Agency for a while. I worked eight hours on the waterfront making sure the longshoremen didn't take too many things.

I'm fascinated by power, especially veiled power. Shadow power. The National Security Agency. The National Reconnaissance Office. Opus Dei. The idea that everything happens for reasons we're not quite seeing.

This is systems security for the Central Intelligence Agency. We would like to know why you are attempting to hack one of our classified databases.

But the thought leaders on talk radio and Fox do more than shape opinion. Backed by their own wing of the book-publishing industry and supported by think tanks that increasingly function as public-relations agencies, conservatives have built a whole alternative knowledge system, with its own facts, its own history, its own laws of economics.

My favorite term for a new kind of performance is "security theater." In this genre, we watch as ritualized inspections and patdowns create the illusion of security. It's a form that has become common since 9/11, and even the government agencies that participate in this activity acknowledge,off the record, that it is indeed a species of theater.

In images,... beauty was the agency that caused visual pleasure in the beholder; and any theory of images that was not grounded in the pleasure of the beholder begged the question of their efficacy and doomed itself to inconsequence.

As we learn in [the] scriptures, the fundamental purposes for the gift of agency were to love one another and to choose God. Thus we become God's chosen and invite His tender mercies as we use our agency to choose God.

Free agency is a gift of God....The world does not comprehend the significance of that divine gift to the individual. It is as inherent as intelligence which, we are told, has never been nor can be created

Most agencies run scared, most of the time. . . .Frightened people are powerless to produce good advertising. . . . If I were aclient, I would do everything in my power to emancipate my agencies from fear, even to the extent of giving them long-term contracts.

Experience has taught me that advertisers get the best results when they pay their agency a flat fee. It is unrealistic to expect your agency to be impartial when its vested interest lies wholly in the direction of increasing your commissionable advertising.

The general advertisers and their agencies know almost nothing for sure, because they cannot measure the results of their advertising. They worship at the altar of creativity, which really means 'originality': The most dangerous word in the lexicon of advertising

I have noticed that agencies which are full of fun and ferment seem to create the best advertising. If you are not happy in advertising, for goodness sake find a job in which you would be happy. For as far as I know, we pass this way only once

Training should not be confined to trainees. It should be a continuous process, and should include the entire professional staff of the agency. The more our people learn, the more useful they can be to our clients.

The trouble with many copywriters in general agencies are that they don't really think in terms of selling. They have never written direct-response; they have never tasted blood

In most agencies, account executives outnumber the copywriters two to one. If you were a dairy farmer, would you employ twice as many milkers as you had cows?

To advertisers: "Do not compete with your agency in the creative area. Why keep a dog and bark yourself?"

I have some notions that have people conceiving of themselves as capable of changing the world. That's why, for me, the issues of self-love, self-respect and self-regard are preconditions for human agency and especially black agency, given the fact that we have been and are such a hated and despised people.

You cannot find, I believe, a case in the Bible where a man is converted without God's calling in some human agency--using some human instrument.

We should utilize the tools the town has at its disposal, ... By referring the proposals to the Economic Development Commission, that agency could ask the tough questions that should be asked. It would have laid the groundwork for the Planning and Zoning Commission to have pertinent information available before it began to consider either application.

We're still working on it and there's still a possibility we might get him done before free agency starts. Just like the extra two days hurts us in some cases, it helps us in that case.

There are not very many options available. If the idea of funding the relocation of a government agency from the budget is rejected, there will be another option left, that of drawing investors' money.

We, of course, want to help only those who are refugees and in need of help. We don't want to be an agency that helps rebels who go out at night and fight.

While not strictly centered on IT, the six initiatives will require entire business processes to be transferred from agencies not contracted as Centers of Excellence. As a result, agencies will focus on transitioning major programs out of their agency to a shared service provider.

We like our nucleus, the core of young players we have. We'd like to build something here. We want to be in position to add in the future, when the ages of unrestricted free agency goes down.

We don't need unelected federal agency bureaucrats in Washington telling our states what they can and can't do with respect to protecting their limited taxpayer dollars in private enterprises.

We don't make a habit of going to guys and telling them to get out of (school), but when a guy comes to you and says he's ready to turn pro, you have to listen. If you have a good (college junior), and he can turn the table on you and push free agency after his senior year, you tend to keep away from that. Free agency tends to cost more money.

We as an agency make management decisions based on the needs of the facility and the agency's best interest. It was decided that, all things considered, it was the appropriate action to move the center in a new direction.

When I was young, I did Baby Guess and Guess Kids - Paul Marciano saw me when I was a baby and decided I was going to be his next whatever. After Guess Kids, my mom made me stop. She would not let me sign with an agency until I was 17 because she wanted me to be a normal kid and accept myself for who I was.

We will continue to investigate our options in free agency and look forward to next month's draft to build the best roster we can.

When a customer, client or patient fails to pay or falls behind on payments, the ability to collect your money decreases dramatically as time passes. Successful debt collections begin as early as possible. It is a good idea to have a collection agency lined up and ready to go, particularly if you can predict there will be a need in the weeks and months ahead.

We would act as the attorney for the DEC if they asked us to, since they are the state agency with environmental jurisdiction. However, nothing of that nature -- as of yet -- has been asked of us.

This whole issue of cow sharing or cow condos is something that we in the agency are looking into and the industry also is asking us about. We're going to need to address what is going on and what our position needs to be.

This report confirms from several vantage points that outsourcing is not necessarily the best option. Agency workers suffer from high turnover and rarely have the benefits of working with drugs over long periods of time or having front-line access to internal company information and employees.

When BLM agreed that the area met all the requirements for protection and pledged to update its 1987 management plan, the community as a whole took the agency at its word.

We need to do a top/bottom review of the federal government and for every agency administration bureaucracy that is not called for in the United States Constitution, we have to really ask the question what is its purpose, how many people work there, how much does it cost the taxpayers and what is the value to our society.

We're reiterating what Commissioner Hilsher has already said, ... The attorney general's office has no problem with accepting a donation with no ties attached. I am concerned it has ties, particularly since a private attorney representing one of the entities in the state's case has contacted members of the OSRC. The problem lies in the point of focus of the resolution, which includes a voluntary litter reduction plan by the industry. The OSRC is a state agency. If a state agency condones, ratifies or approves any plan by the poultry industry with regard to litter reduction, it is in direct conflict with the state's case, and as a state agency, the OSRC should take that under advisement.

This year, this agency has failed 26 times. This failure can no longer be an option.

We didn't get enough information from the investigating agency to proceed with the case. We didn't have good enough information to go before a jury and prove guilt.

TSA serves as the operator, administrator and regulator for the nation's transportation security. But in fact, the TSA bureaucracy does all it can to thwart any conversion to a system with more private-sector operations and strong federal oversight and standards. This agency cannot, and should not, do it all.

To the extent they were talking about things to be the subject matter of future decisions, then they were deliberating agency business.

To reform the Secret Service, the agency needs a director from outside the agency who will be immune from that culture and not beholden to entrenched bureaucrats within the agency.

With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping ''homeliness'' entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all ''sentiment'' is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called ''the Public,'' the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state.

The program was probably ill-conceived from the outset. The necessary checks and balances weren't implemented, ... There was political interference. Some of the bureaucrats were either dishonest or incompetent, and the ad agency took advantage of it. But again, to his credit, Prime Minister Martin called the Public Inquiry, and I think he did the right thing.

There are real-world, devastating consequences for disabled women marginalised by the kinds of attitudes that deny them full agency over what happens to their bodies.

This was all about whether or not those who had access to intelligence information in this administration used it appropriately, not just whether or not the agency was right.

The part that gripes us is the 'outreach' because it's not unbiased. I think it's inappropriate for a government agency to use taxpayer money to convince people to raise their taxes.

We always tell our American colleagues that all Iran-Russia cooperation is in accordance with international regulations and the resolutions of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),

The price action today's been technical rather than anything else. It's been far less about Greenspan than it's been about corporate and agency supply.

We were taking an agency that was maybe 1 percent dealing with homeland security and 99 percent disaster, and folding it into something where it could lose focus and resources, ... And that is what's happened.

While I was pleased to receive assurances that the agency will, in the coming weeks, deliver a long overdue decision on Plan B, concerns about Dr. Crawford's leadership remain, ... I have been continually concerned during Dr. Crawford's tenure that FDA hasn't shown the independence and adherence to science necessary to inspire public confidence.

While it may seem objectionable to some that a state official would organize and sponsor a fundraiser, and invite to that fundraiser individuals who do business with the state agency with which the official is associated Wisconsin statutes do not prohibit or restrict those practices.

With the arrival of Venus Express, ESA is the only space agency to have science operations under way around four planets: Venus, the moon, Mars and Saturn. We are really proud to deliver such a capability to the international science community.

When the game agency estimates there are only 10 adult male lions in the entire Black Hills, a hunt that can kill more than 25 lions is a prescription for extinction.

We welcome Ben?s expertise and talent to our team. His experience is an asset to the agency and offers our trucking and transportation clients a wealth of knowledge regarding their recruitment marketing needs.

The portfolio decline was mainly a product of our desire to be opportunistic, and the spreads between mortgage-backed securities and agency debt were not conducive for growth. The tightness of spreads gave us fewer opportunities to grow.

Under the new law before anybody can file for bankruptcy they will have to go through credit counseling through a credit counseling agency. And that's an agency approved by the U.S. Trustees office,

Fifteen years ago, it wouldn't have been the case. When you don't have free agency and all of that, then you can keep the player in your system and keep developing him and keep him as long as you want. Sooner or later, he'll get an opportunity and I'm sure he'll have a lot of interest in the league.

The governor has no involvement one way or the other. There's been no interaction with the petroleum marketers or the state agency that regulates gasoline or with legislators.

We're the world's leading manufacturer of military and federal agency awards. We make more than 5,000 different items here. We produce medals for the Department of Defense, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and most of the other federal agencies. Every agency has its own medals. We also manufacture badges for state national guards, Junior ROTC and police and fire departments.

We're the best at what we do as an agency and training program,

The grant supports paralegal assistance. It basically leverages what this agency can do, and helps with the quality and quantity of the program.

Turkey is the party of all international agreements and conventions for disarmament, control of weapons and prevention of proliferation of mass destruction weapons. Turkey is also party of Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). IAEA is aware of Turkey's activities to benefit from nuclear energy for peaceful means.

We were expecting the free agency period to come and go. Negotiations were done.

You cannot have a constitutional democracy with the National Intelligence Agency behaving in this fashion.

Tom (Condon) and I have been moving full steam ahead trying to evaluate what other options there could potentially be. I'm just waiting to see what free agency has in store for me.

up to the (U.N.) Security Council, up to the members of the agency to take whatever measures to bring back North Korea into compliance with their non-proliferation obligation.

There is nothing humorous about steroid abuse. I would think that the California Milk Processor Board and their advertising agency would know better regarding an issue that threatens America's youth.

There could be all kinds of identity theft. It's a massive failure by a county agency to not insure the confidential information of its clients.

What is good for an adult may not be good for a child. The agency is really looking into whether or not smoke alarms can be more effective for a broader percentage of the population.

We gave in on the salary cap, the biggest issue. It seems to me that once we've done that, once we've agreed on the philosophy, we should be able to work out other things. Never in ( Gary Bettman 's) tenure as commissioner, as far as I know, was arbitration or free agency as big an issue as the salary cap. But now, it seems like we got the biggest hurdle out of the way and it only made it harder.

We gained national attention because of the way our Unmet Needs Committee worked together. When we walked in that room and sat down at the table, agency agendas were put away to help people who needed it most.

We have about 1,000 things on our to do list, and this (logo) is something we need to get done very quickly. We were hopeful we could have the advertising agency on board to assist in getting the logo done.

We kind of said, 'We need this whole area to be off limits,' but we didn't have the data to be site specific. Although we're not the permitting agency -- we're advisers -- if we're going to advise, we need good data.

Through superior application of world-class RFID and information technologies, the end result of our system will be to provide the central agency with the tools it needs to monitor poultry movement. With agency-designed alerts, the RTAC-PM system will allow the deployment of agency protocols to rapidly and effectively contain an outbreak of disease.

Twenty minutes compared to never, that's a lot. Our customer, the (U.S.) Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), would get very upset (if) somebody looks in their database,
