Obvious Quotes from:
-
Believed Quotes
It came down to Maryland, Harvard and Duke. Harvard for obvious reasons (it was her parents' first choice), Duke was a team that had not won a national title, but was already there (close to winning one). Maryland gave me a chance to do what nobody else in the country believed we could do. I like doing that, bursting people's expectations.

Bare Quotes
It became quite obvious that the opposition's intention was to prevent the publication of a budget in February, and therefore I felt I had an obligation to Canadians not just to provide the bare bones of statistics, but in fact to give a greater indication of how the flexibility would be used,
-
Cranking Quotes
I thought we would come over here and play pretty good, but we were just awful. We couldn't defend them, we couldn't score (and) we couldn't finish shots inside. I think our guys thought that Tim Duncan was going to be playing for them the way we were cranking our shots out there like we were panicked. That's been a problem for us and it was pretty obvious this game.
-
County Quotes
I was disappointed that the elected officials at the meeting seemed unconcerned with the obvious illegality of providing off-the-books jobs for illegal aliens. Instead, they should be passing legislation to provide training for local and county police departments to enforce our immigration laws.
-
Black Quotes
I think a lot of L.A. is something like USC - this incredible white culture living in the midst of color, and no obvious reaction to it at all. I mean, they have guards at the gate at USC - guards at the gate of a major university! And the guards chase young black boys away - I've seen it, chasing 8-year-old boys.
-
Beyond Quotes
I think it's pretty obvious by the one offer they gave me and their reluctance to move beyond that point. Maybe I'd have the opportunity to stay there and win my job back once again. But since I kind of know where everybody stands in the organization and the people who are making the decisions, I don't think so.
-
Biggest Quotes
I think it's obvious that we've brought some kids in that can play. (But) the biggest thing is these kids have been in the system now. This is the third year. They have a really good understanding of our system. I think they have a good understanding of how we coach and how to react to our coaching. That's the biggest difference.
-
Age Quotes
It is obvious from this survey that Americans are uninformed when it comes to their susceptibility to chronic diseases as they age. Our society is both aging and living longer. Unfortunately, life after age 65 for most people means an increasing risk of developing age-related chronic diseases.
-
Area Quotes
I think that in the high-tech area there were obvious areas of tremendous excess, and yet, of course, it's one of the great growth engines of the economy. Every investor thinking about the long term wants to own growth, but you have to buy it at a sensible price. And in the tech area, there are wonderful concepts, wonderful ideas, great productivity drivers, but still many overpriced issues,
-
Against Quotes
I watched the replay five times and it wasn't a foul. It was a foul on him. I didn't even get the charge. He was falling before I even got there. When a rookie ref gets put in that situation -- somebody who weighs 215 going against somebody who weighs 165 -- it's an obvious call to make.
-
Bad Quotes
I think there were times in the game when we put ourselves in bad situations, but I also feel there were crucial plays in the game and the overtime when we got the short end of the stick. We usually don't make any excuses, but sometimes you've got to just let us play ball. When things are obvious you've got to call them. When they are not obvious, don't make it a questionable call.
-
Bucks Quotes
I think there are some obvious ones. Everyone knows that Cleveland wanted him. Dallas had put an offer out on him a couple years ago. Everybody knows that George Karl (Nuggets and former Bucks coach) is still in this game. Reggie Miller is leaving Indiana, and he's a two (guard). Those are just four teams off the gate.
-
Across Quotes
On winter afternoons, from my office, there were sunsets across Manhattan when the smog itself shimmered and glowed. . . . Despite its difficulties, which become more obvious all the time, one was constantly put to the test by this city, which finally came down to its people; no other place in America had quite such people and they would not allow you to go stale; in the end they were its triumph and its reward.
-
Ahead Quotes
Our stance has been in big enterprise applications, it was obvious that people were buying ahead to get their systems ready for Y2K. The mainframe business is a dying business, and our feeling was IBM would see it in the third and fourth quarters because the growth patterns weren't normal.
-
Beyond Quotes
Our association with Berkshire Hathaway has already generated considerable excitement in the marketplace. Beyond the obvious financial resources, Warren Buffett is recognized and respected worldwide for his business acumen. The response from our clients, business partners and employees has been overwhelmingly positive. We look forward to making our new owner very proud.
-
Bunch Quotes
Some people are thinking he's this horrible person even though they don't know him. When you have a whole bunch of facts and take out a few things and put them in a certain order, they can make anything look true. But once the evidence is laid out, it's going to be obvious what happened. He didn't do anything but try to help someone in trouble.

Career Quotes
Like many drivers, Fernando started his career with Minardi, and even in those early days, there were obvious signs of his huge natural talent and ability. It was equally clear that with the right team and the right car at the right moment, (Alonso winning the title) was always going to happen.
