Command Quotations | Page 2

Only as long as a company can produce a desired, worthwhile, and needed product or service, and can command the public, will it receive the public dollar and succeed.

More than 55,000 men from Bomber Command lost their lives, of whom 38,000 were British. That's one in 10 of all the British servicemen lost in the Second World War. It beggars belief that there has not been some recognition for what they gave until now.

Morales is an untried political leader. He's certainly someone who can command the street. Now, can he make the transition from an agitator to an executive?

My father was career military. He was a veteran, he was a doctor of political science, he taught at West Point and Air Command Staff and lectured at the War College.

My fastball command was pretty poor, but the cutter was pretty good. The first inning had good points and bad points. Mostly, the execution wasn't there at all. For me, it's trying to get mechanics down to be consistent, and today I wasn't consistent.

No one up the chain of command has ever been held accountable for what is in these horrifying images, and no true independent commission or special prosecutor has ever been allowed to investigate.

no other individual has had more command over surf media in the U.S. than Larry Moore.

Right now he has real good command of his form and technique. He came out of basketball very strong, so we're hoping to build on that.

Rick certainly seems in command right now. Erik seems to be pressing a bit out there. When you grade the film and look at all the cut-ups and all the breakdowns of all the drills, the two guys are equal.

Pepe was on top of his game. His breaking ball had a lot of bite, and he had good command of the strike zone.

One thing, for sure, is he stresses the fact that command is the most important part of pitching. He's not up there throwing hard. He's mixing up pitches and keeping guys off balance. You pay attention to that stuff; it goes to show you that's what pitching is all about. It's not about throwing 100 mph.

Nearly 100 airmen who were scheduled to deploy from Keesler AFB (to the Central Command area of responsibility) will not deploy now

On the positive side, we learned how important mobility and precision strike and global situation awareness and integrated command and control were. On the negative side, I think we also understand that fratricide or friendly fire continues to be an issue.

On the contrary, he may decide that it hurts him in terms of his commitments with the North Americans, with Colombian economic groups, with the military high command and with all the other enemies of the (peace) process.

One of the saddest things a creator has to deal with in this industry is when a product is now impossible to play. Not because it's a bad game, but because the platform doesn't exist anymore. We've been prolific trying to bring back landmark products, and our approach in the past has been to update the graphics. But I think this time we did the right thing. Command & Conquer is an event, it's one of the most successful franchises ever done, and it would be very inappropriate to modify it.

I wouldn't say we're concerned, but ... his command was off and sometimes that's a sign of weariness, ... He's in uncharted waters.

I would rather be first in a small village in Gaul than second in command in Rome

I was pleased with his mound presence. I think he felt in command the whole time. The box score was not indicative of that, but he didn't give up a run.

I am having a horrible time. I can't get a unified command established.

I believe without any equivocation that she's the most recognizable freshman in Washington. She's spoken more on the floor and taken command of the issues more than any other new member who comes to mind.

I bought a 1964 Bentley for $1,600 and re-built it over five years. When I drove it in Tokyo after that, it was the pride of the road. That car would command at least $150,000 today because 'Bikram' has restored it.

I am ready to take the responsibility of (leading) the party in the state if the high command asks. If the Central leadership gives me the responsibility, I can turn around the fortunes of the party in the state.

I am ready for any eventuality. As a disciplined soldier of the party, I have no hesitation to quit if the party high command desires. It is for the party president (Sonia Gandhi) to decide.

I am very proud to be taking command of a Type 23 frigate, which is an extremely flexible warship, and I'm looking forward to taking HMS Portland on operations with a professional and focused team.

Casey threw the ball really well, and had great command of his pitches. He was consistent for seven innings.

Bush is no longer in command the way he used to be. With Social Security, he picked the one issue that could unite the Democrats. And now most Americans think that with Iraq he was either dishonest or incompetent.

Because they (NASA) had abandoned the military style of command and gone to a corporate style, they lost the ability to have clear communication. It (Challenger disaster) is a great lesson in organizational structure and how to achieve high-risk goals.

I had very good command tonight and I felt I threw the ball well. I had a very good game plan and was able to execute it.

I had pretty good stuff. I had command of all my pitches and I kept them off balance. Our offense put up runs early and that made things easier.

I felt pretty good. I had good command of all four of my pitches. They've got guys that can swing the bats over there. It's a challenge to face them.

I felt good. I definitely felt better than my last two starts mechanically. My sinker was better. My cutter was better. My command was better. What allowed me to finish the game was taking the ninth like it was the first. If you rush through the ninth trying to get outs, you're not going to complete that game.

I didn't have great fastball command or a curveball tonight either until the last few innings,

I didn't have good command of my pitches. I wanted to pound the strike zone and I go 2-0 to the first guy. But it doesn't mean anything. Physically, no pain no problem. That was the biggest thing.

I didn't have good command of my breaking ball or my fastball tonight. For whatever reason, things weren't clicking early on when I needed it.

I can't psychoanalyze why (Iraqi President) Saddam Hussein does what he does, but I can tell you this. It's smart for him to stop attacking our planes because he was losing a lot of equipment. He was losing radars. He was losing missiles. And he was losing air defense guns. And he was losing command and control facilities. So, if he wants to hold on to his equipment, he should stop attacking the patrols.

Getting kicked around as much as I did, you get tired of it. I'm not trying to hit people. But at the same time, hitters were very comfortable facing me last year, much more so last year than any year in the past, obviously. But there's something you can do about that as a pitcher, and you've got to be proactive in doing it. I feel like my command is good enough that I can throw the ball in off the plate and get people off the plate without hurting people.

Get yourself into that command center in Baton Rouge!

Frederick threw well, located his pitches well. He was in total command of the strike zone.

France hasn't been a member of NATO's military command for the last 37 years, so their agreement on military planning isn't even required.

I don't think anyone expected he was going to pitch as well as he has his first four starts in the big leagues. I didn't anticipate the command and poise and amount of ground balls he has gotten. He has been a strikeout/ground-ball machine. Not a lot of guys get the ball in the air against him.

I don't think I've seen Troy yet totally in command and relaxed. He really wants to do well and couldn't wait to get in and play after sitting out a couple games there when we were playing two weeks ago. This week I thought was very, very valuable in that he got 71 snaps and that he got a lot of plays on tape and a lot of things he can learn from. I just think it's just relaxing and being in command with the whole situation. To me, that's the biggest task that he has to tackle.

From the outset I didn't feel like I had very good command of my fastball. I threw some good splits, I thought I hung two and they got hit. But I had real spotty command of my fastball.

GOD is all-powerful; God is everywhere; God is all knowing. To adore such a formidable limitless principle, man spends a few minutes out of the 24 hours and uses a minute idol, image or picture! It is indeed ridiculous; it is practically futile. Adore Him so long as you have breath and so long as you are conscious. Have no other thought than God, have no other aim than knowing His command; no other activity than translating that command into action. That is what is meant by Surrender. Surrender yourself unto Him.

He's had little flashes where he looks like a big-league pitcher again. But he knows his command is not where he wants it to be.

He works at it. That's the key to his growth. His command has been as good as I've seen it over an extended period.

He worked ahead of hitters all day. He had good command of his change-up and breaking balls.

He was throwing the ball well with command of four pitches. He wasn't throwing with the velocity that we saw in college, but from a performance standpoint, he definitely was on the track we expected.

He was throwing the ball fine, but his command wasn't quite there. He'll get that more as he continues to throw on the mound. He was getting behind in the count a lot, which isn't his M.O. He usually goes right after hitters.

He's competing to be a starter right now. He's pitched well. We'd like to have him be a starter. I think he has better command and his changeup and slider are much better.

He has a good command of the offense.

He had a pretty angle to all his pitches, although his command within the strike zone wasn't very good,

He had great command of his fastball to get ahead of the hitters, and he used his off-speed pitches effectively.

He had good stuff, he just didn't have the good command he had last time. He battled his tail off to stay in the game, but his pitch count (90) caught up with him.

He had good command of his cutter. He was getting strike one with his fastball and then cutting all the lefties in on their hands and just being able to stay on the attack. He did a great job of not messing around and making effective pitches.

He had good command of all his pitches. I've faced him over the years and he had really good stuff. Credit him a lot.

He has good command of both sides of the plate. He was only a sophomore. I remember we were thinking, 'This kid's going be dealing when he's a senior. Unfortunately, that prediction came through.

He has consistently shown improved velocity and better command of the split-finger. His velocity is in the low 90s. It's getting back to where it needs to be.

He did a great job. He had good command on the mound.

He did a great job. He got a lot of ground balls and that's what he's got to do. He took command and worked ahead to a lot of hitters.

He did some very good things. It showed he was in command of the game. He was much more fundamentally sound, calmer in the pocket that allowed him to make the better throws that he made.

Greg has had a strong spring. His command is obvious. When he's got his command, he's tough. He's more consistent with it than most.

He is as advertised. He is very very mature for a high school kid and he is physically in charge of his body for a 6-foot-7 guy. That's very rare to see anybody who has good body control and command of his pitches with his size. He is very good.

He is a contact guy, but he can also get some batters out using the strikeout. Basically, his command of his pitches dictates where the hitter makes contact. You like to have that in a pitcher.

He is about command as much as he is about velocity. If you had one you had to do without, it would be velocity. But right now he's having trouble with his command.

He got off to a good run, but his command has become a little more inconsistent of late. He's got a history of issues with command. If his command doesn't get to be above average, he will fall in the line of a lot of pitchers who will show you a good game once in a while, and then you wonder why they don't have more success.

He doesn't have very good command of his fastball. He's not exactly the Friday-night guy we thought we were going to have. Either he's going to stay the way he is, and we're going to have to score more than five runs, or it's going to be a work in progress.

He got ahead of a lot of hitters, and his command was amazing. It's hard to hit a guy whose command was so good. He had to have his best stuff today.

He looked real good. He had a great command of his pitches and batters leaning and off stride. That is the kind of pitcher he is. He is not going to overpower any hitters. He is more of a finesse kind of pitcher.

He made it look easy. He had good command of his cutter. He was getting strike one with his fastball and cutting all the lefties in on their hands.

He mixed it up well, he showed good command and that's what we're looking for is performance. His stuff's there and now it's just a matter of getting game ready. (Tuesday) was a step in the right direction.

Whatever the Command of Lord and Master is, one should bow his forehead and accept it

Whatever He has done, has come to pass, how can we command Him?

There is a full scale investigation under way by the chain of command and the criminal investigative unit, ... We cannot determine how long it will take for the investigation to be complete.

When he's on, his command is the biggest thing. His fastball is where he wants it to be, and his changeup is unbelievable.

What I know about him is that he has a good power arm. Obviously, he has struggled with his command from time to time and been erratic from time to time.

We thought we had command of the game, but their traps startled us and surprised us and got us off of our game. It was a good fight and both teams battled hard. It could have gone either way. Fortunately, it went our way.

Today, a command sent over a network to a power station's control computer could be just as deadly as a backpack full of explosives,

To command it at 40-something, that's not easy.

To combine velocity with great command is a package you don't see often, ... That puts him in an elite group of pitchers.

He really worked hard on his conditioning on those off days. He's a big, strong guy and he said he felt good. He had good command of his pitches and threw the ball well.

He really understands that he needs command and the ability to throw strikes when he pitches in the latter innings of games. I'm very pleased with the progress he has made in that area this spring.

Hatcher has good command of our offense and is a leader for this team.

Gynecology is not my field and we have no command officers in this department who are schooled in that. If he is pregnant, he'll get his leave.

He's a good pitcher, ... But you always feel like you have a good chance against the guy. He's not overpowering. He has to pitch to get outs, and he lost his command a little bit in that one inning.

Her pitches were up. We talked about how the ball needed to be down against this club. She wasn't in command of her pitches.

He's a lot further ahead than he was last year. Sometimes you don't have the command you want early in the game, but he made the adjustment. As the game went on, he got pretty good.

He's a kid that's got four pitches for strikes. When you can do that you can be effective. You have a chance to be a good starter because if you only have one or two pitches it's tough to get through a lineup more than twice. But he's a kid who has pretty good command of four pitches.

He's got great command of his slider, ... We always say you have to command your fastball. But he commands his breaking ball about as good as anybody I've ever seen.

He's got great command of all his pitches. He's a bulldog. He's just tough.

He seems like the real deal, man. I was really impressed with the guy. We were hoping with him being a rookie, he wouldn't be decisive or in command of the offense, but it was exactly the opposite. He played well against us. He seems like he's going to be something special in this league for a long time to come.

He showed me his slider was his command pitch. I told him, 'You get behind in the count, throw it anyway.' He started throwing the breaking ball with the fastball.

His velocity was good, his command was not as crisp as it has been. In the deep counts he ran, he came back and made some terrific pitches. When he had to make a pitch, he did.

Hoffman pitched very well. He was in trouble in only the one inning they scored. He was pretty much in command in every inning other than that.

His velocity is coming up and his command is better." ()

He was on the attack, he had command of his pitches. He felt good.

He was only supposed to go two innings, but the way he threw, we stretched him out to three. He had real good command of his fastball and a real good breaking ball.
