Jim Quotations | Page 4

Jim Reid and I started the company as a design company, as I said earlier, back in '85 and and we transformed it into a product company in 1995.

Jim O'Brien, who kicked that field goal in 1970 that won the Super Bowl for the Baltimore Colts, said that kick gave him his 15 minutes of fame. And it has lasted 25-plus years. I feel the same way.

Jim Nussle is doing the job he was elected to do by getting results on Iowa priorities.

Jim Nussle has said that a clean budget is one of his top priorities, and he has proven that today by keeping dicey policy language that has no budgetary consequence, namely drilling in the Arctic refuge, out of the budget.

Justin reminds me of Jim Brown in that he's real lazy getting out of the huddle and getting to the line, then all of the sudden he's gone.

That was the original intent and understanding. Jim came on three years ago with the understanding of working with Flanagan for a period of time that would result in Mike assuming the position of general manager of the ballclub.

I would just as soon not have to run against Jim Edgar. Jim Edgar occupies much of the same space that I'm targeting, and it would have been a more competitive race from my standpoint.

I would love to see Jim Bates back again. He's an excellent coach.

My bunker shot was made easier when Jim didn't hit it close. If I just hit it on the green, I win the tournament.

My brother Jim and I saw our father go into the jails and pray with the inmates Sunday after Sunday. He prayed with both blacks and whites. If we ever repeated any slurs we heard on the playground, he'd tell us very softly, "I don't want to hear those words.

Microsoft is unveiling a major reorganization today to help get Vista out the door. Some of the major changes include the appointing of three new officers to the three major divisions. The Microsoft Platform Products & Services Division will be led by Kevin Johnson and Jim Allchin as co-presidents; Jeff Raikes has been named president of the Microsoft Business Division; and Robbie Bach has been named as president of Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division. In addition, the company said Ray Ozzie will expand his role as chief technical officer by assuming responsibility for helping drive its software-based services strategy and execution across all three divisions.

Miami has been my home since we moved the Nasdaq-100 Open to Key Biscayne in 1987 and I relish the opportunity to support important charitable causes such as the Greater Miami Tennis Foundation through events such as the Jim Berry Tennis Classic and the Robin Givens Night with the Stars.

Why would I come out and support Jim all week if it meant me probably losing my job? There is not a chance I would want to get rid of Jim.

We're all very sensitive that Jim has the shortest history with the band. He wants to be somewhat of a free agent. I'm just going to let time dictate how Jim's future evolves.

We put all the cards out on the table. When we got Chris Chandler, Chris knew he came in to back up Jim Miller. He knew that; he understood it.

We're celebrating Jim today. He and his family are human dynamos. By far, this is our best group and where we get the most donations.

You always think of the players and coaches and everybody that's been involved. It's going to go down as a Jim Hoover record, but it's really a Walton football-program record ? and I think that means more than an individual record.

We have some extra numbers in positions where we can afford the opportunity to look at some of the European players in this game and rest some of the domestic players. An example of that would be Eddie Pope and Jim Conrad. Based on play over the past month and a half, they would be included in this roster if we were simply basing it on performances. But we have guys we need to look at now.

We believe this movie is going to introduce Jim to a lot of filmgoers who haven't had the opportunity to see his movies before.

We had two players coming back this year in Well and (Ron) Dunn. We were hoping that Jim would be able to step in a give us the outside shooter. Tim is more of a slasher and Ron is an inside player, so he gives us a nice mix. Jim's outside game loosens things up inside for our big guys.

We have a lot of people waiting to give Steve 'substantial' checks if Jim Edgar doesn't run, and that kind of underscores the need for Gov. Edgar to make a decision in a reasonably short period of time.

We wanted to honor Jim Rosenblatt by naming this regatta after him.

We've got such a good relationship with Jim and Gladys. He won't say no to progress. He is in his mid-80s but is as receptive to new ideas and as keen to use new technology as any young farmer.

We have brought in Danny and if Jay and Jim are struggling, then we might add one or two more of the younger players. Jimmy Juan is recovering from a foot injury so he is another concern for us as well.

We couldn't be happier to have an icon like Jim Lee involved with this project. SOE, WBIE and DC will be working together closely on this project and Jim's contributions will be key to bringing the amazing world of DC Comics to life online.

We have the greatest role model there is in Tony Dungy. And as Jim said to the team (Thursday) morning, we'll emulate our leader.

We were going to mount a helicopter onto a frame that fit onto a snowmobile and have Arnold appear to be shooting down the hill, and Arnold said to Jim (Cameron), 'If you will put your 2-year-old in it, then I will get into it.' He made it very personal to all of us.

Three of the brightest baseball pitchers of their times staged comebacks without much success - David Cone, Jim Bouton and Jim Palmer - but there was room to admire their quixotic gesture.

When I first encountered the 'Sigma Force' novels - long before I became friends with Jim Rollins - a bookseller told me that these stories were about 'geeks with guns.' While not entirely accurate, that's pretty close to the mark, and that really speaks to me.

To go in with Jim is very fitting. I couldn't get somebody that I've been so parallel with over the past 20 years as Jim Boeheim.

The people are looking for somebody that will clean up the mess. The last thing they're looking for is somebody from the mess. Jim fills that bill.

We played a little funny game waiting because we figured, it was Jim McGee's idea, Jim McGee, our general manager said, 'There's still an hour to go, it's still kind of hot, maybe the wind will die down a bit. We need everything we can get for qualifying.' So we waited it out a bit.

We are grateful for the leadership and vision of Jim Knight and wish him well. Duke Health Raleigh is also very pleased to welcome Doug to our hospital family. He brings a distinguished career in health care along with a vast knowledge of our community.

You don't need to kill Jim Sullivan. Part of Jim Sullivan is already dead. Your verdict ... ensured this man will die in a state prison.

We were all incredibly frustrated with the way the year has gone, ... If anybody should be blamed, it should be me. I think Jim is a terrific manager. Despite how hard we tried, we couldn't get on the same page.

We shouldn't have to wait for state or federal indictments to get rid of Jim Black.

The real loser in the election tonight was not Jim Leininger but the parents of inner-city children trapped in failing schools who will now have more legislators aligned with teachers unions instead of children who need help.

When Republicans represent moderate districts, they become less conservative just as Democrats representing conservative districts become less liberal. The least conservative Republican members Mike Fitzpatrick, Jim Gerlach and Curt Weldon all represent suburban Philadelphia districts, where the voters tend to be more moderate.

Who were the guys who helped Jim Brown, Leroy Kelly and Ernie Green do what they did?

We like Jim Campbell. We know what he can do and what kind of dimension he brings to us.

When I was younger, the athletes who motivated me were the ones I saw on TV-Billy Mills, Gerry Lindgren, Prefontaine, Ron Clark of Australia, Tom O'Hara, Jim Ryan.

When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, Jim sent his private jet for my family. I'll never forget that. I did this because I love Jim Wilkes.

There have been some longstanding disagreements between the two. In 2003, Gov. Guinn felt it was the right thing to do to support the tax increase and Jim Gibbons felt the other way, that it was the wrong thing to do. They are certainly on different sides of the fence.

There has never been any ego or resentment. Jim has always been gracious and shared his career with everybody else in the group.

We thought he was a good college player. Jim Harbaugh was his coach down there, so we had a little bit of insight. He's a big kid that had pretty good numbers at that level and we wanted to give him a shot.

Too many people had an off-day to think it was just a one-off. I have been in jobs where you have to win to save your job. Jim Jefferies has responsibilities to win but I am fortunate enough to have the resources to win and play attractive and exciting football.

We had a customer, old Col. Franklin. His doctor was in Los Angeles and his house was on Balboa Island. His big decision was, should he move closer to his doctor or stay close to the gas station so we could take care of his cars! That's the kind of station Jim ran.

We baby them too much, ... That's why we don't have the Jim Kaats and Don Suttons and Nolan Ryans anymore.

To this day, images of apes and monkeys are used as a way to depict black people. It's what it will always mean. You can't just dress monkeys up like people and not conjure Jim Crow.

To the extent that Jim Padilla was in charge of operations, he certainly deserves some of the blame.

This will be very easy for me because I've known Jim a long time, ... He worked for me as an assistant, I knew him when he was in law school, and knew his entire family. I hope he has a good sense of composure.

When you go from speaker to lieutenant governor, it's kind of a letdown, frankly, ... But I worked with (then-Gov.) Jim Thompson and learned a lot from him.

With decades of experience in network management, Sean, Gary and Jim are intimately familiar with the old way of thinking: a secure network equals a secure environment. That approach simply won't get the job done in a world where 70 percent of the vulnerabilities reside in the applications running across those networks. These executives work extremely well together and provide an outstanding balance of industry knowledge, business and sales expertise. They are helping Security Innovation break new ground in the market, extend our offerings more broadly and fuel our steady upward momentum.

Without Jim's mentorship, there's no way I would have completed my Ph.D. here, ... It was fair to say that I lacked direction, so Jim kind of took me under his wing.

When we hired Scotty Bowman, everything changed. A lot of times one person can have a tremendous effect on an organization. You know, Jim addressed right away you've got to have all your veterans on board. Ironically, the first thing Scotty told me was getting your veterans on the same page. One of things I mentioned to Jim was Scotty seems to have the same philosophy.

We are excited to have Jim back as our head coach. He has done a tremendous job for us in his two years. Our vision remains to win conference championships on a regular basis, and Jim shares that vision and drive to win those titles.

Two great issues of our time are addressed by Jim Wallis, and his thought-provoking answers make powerful reading for anyone interested in social change. Jim Wallis challenges us to create a society that both addresses injustice and stresses personal responsibility, and his call for a global covenant through which rich countries meet their obligations to the poor will have a resonance throughout the world.

Fangio . . . I saw him when he was on the wane and he was still better than most. And Jim Clark and Stirling Moss were next best.

Famous Joe asked Jerry and me how we were set for money. That was about 9 o'clock at night... He came back with $500 and a bottle of Jim Beam for us.

Both of us wanted to deal with this quickly. Jim didn't want to wonder about his status. We both dealt with it head on.

We need to get Jim (Parsons) the ball more than what we did last week, and we need to block for him. ... And we need to score some points.

We all thought it was very funny and very well done. (But) Jim has no intention of leaving cartooning and becoming a rap star.

To ascend to the leader's position, he (Daschle) would need to leap-frog over dozens of more experienced senators and defeat Tennessee Sen. Jim Sasser, who had also announced he would seek the position,

This weekend is about finding out who is playing well and who has come out of the off-season ready to compete. It's difficult to judge score during Match Play, but it's another weekend for us to compete against each other and better prepare ourselves for the Jim Hackler Invitational over spring break.

Those two swings were sweet Jim Edmonds swings. A couple of others times, he probably put a little too much into it.

This was pretty encouraging. It's got me ready to compete, the way this whole day went. Jim Tracy has made it clear what he expects from us, what he believes we can do. Now, it's up to us.

This was a business that was run by people that always wanted to represent Monticello in the best manner. Jim and Jan really were the very heart and soul of Shafer Shores.

We kind of lean on each other, actually. It's very much a give-and-take relationship. ... in a great way. We pick each other's minds all the time. But Jim is like that -- he'll pick his coaches' minds, ask their opinions and thoughts. That's what makes him such a great manager. He affords a lot of responsibility and trust to the guys he works with.

You have to have something a little wrong with you to play defense. You're going in there knowing you are going to have to hit somebody. So you do have to have the mind-set to want to do it. I think we have taken that mind-set to a different level. We understand exactly what Jim wants from us. I think we're trying to take this thing to another level. We are trying to be one of the best, if not the best, defense to play for this organization.

What are they, 6-9 in the conference? They could easily be 9-6 or 10-5. They are a good basketball team. Jim (Wooldridge) has done a great job with them and it will be a very difficult game for us.

Tony Tavares is very competent. He's doing planning for next year. Jim Bowden has done a wonderful job, and so has Frank. We're very confident we're going to turn over a very healthy and vital franchise to a new owner.

Tony made it clear to myself and Jim that he wished for the team and organization to carry on. We will.

With Jim being traded, it's a relief because you don't have to answer those questions any more. At the same time, you wish him the best of luck and hope he comes back and has the same kind of year he's been having.

You don't work with a guy that long and don't become very good friends. He really understood me and I understood him. That's probably why we got along so well. We'll miss Jim and his personality and his intellect.

To me, it was kind of embarrassing. Even Cleveland players were shaking their heads. Cleveland people don't know how much Jim Thome meant to this town. You don't boo a class act. That's OK, we'll clap for him in Chicago.

We are very fortunate to be able to draw upon Jim Adamson's many talents and experiences at this time of transition at Kmart. Now that the company has taken the difficult, but necessary actions to stabilize its finances and operations, he is the right executive to move Kmart forward.

This new position will enable Jim to participate directly at a policy-making level and provide the other Directors with the benefit of his considerable technological insight and expertise as we guide our company through this dynamic period of transition and growth.

We should be concerned when somebody's politicking and campaigning gets in the way of doing their job of governing - and it's certainly not the first time it's happened with Jim Davis.

Both Jim and I are interested in the limits of conventional decision-making. The idea that an expert will give you the best outcome -- we think that's inadequate. You need a whole palate of different strategies. We're critiquing the same narrow ideology.

Between Hubie (Brown) and Jim (Boeheim), they told me I had 12 seconds,

Everything happened very quickly in my career. It was a very great honour for me to break Jim Clark's record (as youngest champion),

Everything unfolded the way we thought it would and the way we hoped it would. This was a home run. The Jim Dandy was the kind of performance that propelled Flower Alley to the next level.

Big Jim did a great job going against their big players. And Cobb did a great job for us off the bench. We came out with a lot of intensity.

Everybody knows no one is going to outwork Jim Marshall. He's already traveling and building relationships in every county in the new and old districts.

Every position is competitive. Whether you have Jim Kelly or Bruce Smith, if there is a better player that can take those jobs from those guys, then God bless us, we've got a heck of a football team in the making.

As soon as Pat (Van Horn) left my office, I took it back to Jim

At that time we didn't really have the talent to be able to line up and compete with many teams. Stanford had recently had some success throwing the ball with Jim Plunkett (1970 Heisman Trophy winner) at quarterback. I figured with most defenses built to focus on stopping the run, we would try and pass the ball. Once we became successful and began to recruit better players, I just decided to stick with the offense.

At the end of the day, I think everybody needs to be on the same page to move forward. We decided we needed to make a change and Jim decided to move on as well.

an insult to Jim Gibbons and an insult to a lot of people across the state who have elected him in overwhelming numbers to five terms in Congress.

Evan performed well and Jim wrestled two really fine matches to get into the finals.

The top players are playing better. Mike Weir , Jim Furyk , Ernie Els , Vijay Singh, myself... Phil Mickelson and David Duval were the exceptions, but overall, most of the guys you'd expect to challenge Tiger stepped up and challenged him. Were there classic duels with Tiger down the stretch this year? No, not really. Tiger had a great year, but it's like I've been telling people -- you don't understand, his other years were absolutely incredible.

I spoke with a descendent named Jim Brace, who lives in St. Albans. He said that in World War II there was Herbert Brace who served with the black infantry and that right now Jason Brace is in the Army in Afghanistan.

It wouldn't be unusual for dad to call on Jim and Steve to play if his regular musicians couldn't show.

It would have been great to be back with them. But Pittsburgh's time seems to be on the rise, too, with some good players and some very good young pitchers, ... Jim wants to bring in as many of our L.A. staff as possible, with the idea that as a group we had commitment and synergy and had players playing up to their potential as much as possible.

The whole thing was conspired by Jim Hood.

They absolutely did the right thing, ... The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

The wrestling world and the state of South Dakota can be very proud of what Jim has accomplished in his life; I know I am. There aren't many jobs in the sports world as powerful as the one he has. And to have someone in that job who comes from a wrestling background is great. He is dealing with some of the most influential business and sports leaders in the world on a weekly basis.

There will not be a shred of physical evidence, not one shred of physical evidence that links Jim Sullivan to this crime.

I've told Jim that our commitment to him is for as long as he was alive, which I hope is a long time. We want Jimmy to conduct as much as he is able and willing to do so here. I think the Met is the luckiest opera house in the world to have him as its music director and I hope that he will be at the center of its artistic life for the foreseeable future. It would be a terrible blow for me and my plans if he was not here.

I've thought of being a point guard in the NBA. I've thought of a number of things that won't happen. But I never thought of this, ... You look at someone who belongs on television, they tend not to be a twitching. When you're watching, they're solid, like they belong there. ... An animated character can be like me. Look at Jim Lehrer, and look at his hair. There's no way I can compete with that.
