M. Wolfe Quotations | Page 4

We didn't do a bad job defensively on (Harding). We just need to be able to put the ball in the basket a bit more and we just couldn't do that.

We?re not going back into the trash business.

The online console gaming market is set to take off, as the new generation of consoles arrives with advanced networking and online gaming capabilities. The ability to download game demos, buy casual as well as full-fledged console games, and access advanced content, including HD video, will result in 'online' becoming the key technology component of gaming for this and subsequent console generations.

This nation was founded by men and women who wanted nothing more than freedom to practice their faith without government opposition, ... If we don't stand up for the religious rights of people around the world, who will?

We're at the point now where we've got only 16 upperclassmen,

This special interest incentive would be a disgrace. With budget deficits growing to historic levels, we need to make sure tax dollars are going to those who truly need the government's help ... We trust you will do the right thing and make sure federal resources go to the poor, the needy and the vulnerable and not the gambling interests who already have insurance to cover catastrophic events like hurricanes.

You look back and you say you've done everything you can. It doesn't preclude someone from coming forward and enabling it to be done better.

You look at some of these guys that are taking snaps now, it's a joke.

You dont love science if someone just talks to you for 45 minutes a day,

We gave them lots of chances at the end. I think our quickness was the deciding factor in the game.

We worked really hard. I think we just kind of ran out of juice.

We didn't have it. We've got to find it, and hopefully we find it (tonight) and get on a roll heading into the playoffs.

When the religious people are here, the hookers aren't, ... Otherwise, the hookers are standing in my doorway.

The critical thing they delivered on is what people, including analysts, were expecting. They have begun the Intel transition sooner rather than later.

What if we're seeing the stirrings of 'Dutch disease', whereby windfall gains from commodity industries push up the currency so as to squeeze activity in more productive sectors like manufacturing?

we should note that there will never be merit raises.

We're looking at another 25 percent (cut) next year.

The real short-term outlook for us is pretty positive given that we don't see a Fed rate hike in August and that due to political noise, if you will, we are not going to see a rate hike in October. But on the earnings front it is a different issue. Looking into 2000, our longer-term forecast, we've had two great years of earnings growth. We think it is going to be pretty difficult to show up with another year of 30-to-40 percent earnings growth. So, consequently, our message has been a lot more selective about the securities that we want investors to focus on.

There are a lot of other very highly qualified lawyers who have more of a public record than John Roberts. The fact there is not a strong paper trail should make it easier for the president to sell this candidate, which is somewhat regrettable but this is a political appointment and, so, political factors are key,

We came down and really liked the school system, liked the community and liked the people. We felt comfortable. You've got to be in a place that you enjoy what you're doing and where you feel comfortable. It's worked out well so far.

We painted him a shirt; it was still wet when he put it on.

With a 23.5% drop in business, this is one thing these people can't understand, it's what people do for a living. I'm posting a sign at my door that my place will be smoking. If they want to put me in jail, that's their damn business, they can do that.

We've been down 10 or 12 points before. The girls realize there are four quarters in a game, and you have to play all four.

We don't want to exclude anyone; we want to include everyone. We want students to know that we want their input. Get online and give us input.

We put ourselves in position to get a win. I thought our team put forth a great effort, but we didn't complete the plays we needed to in the end.

We really believe that we can continue to separate ourselves as a company and deliver a different level of service by being closer to our dealers in the marketplaces.

We don't anticipate any impact on the stock. While Kelly has been both an important and strong leader as well as a terrific man, UPS is a large company with great management depth run by committee.

We wouldn't have called him a conservative as far as being a Texas Republican.

We wouldn't be here today if all businesses in Texas participated (in the tax) the way you've participated.

There hasn't been any good news for the president. We've had more exposure to high level corruption.

There is a certain insanity out there where everything is so focused on quarterly results that people miss the big picture, which is this company continues to do extremely well.

We're troubled by the accusation that Ken was the aggressor. The accusation was false, and I've been brought in to defend him.

We knew somehow we have to make up for those missing points.

We're not really big (on the offensive line), but we are pretty athletic up there, ... All three of the quarterbacks do something the other one doesn't do. ... Brock's smart and doesn't make mistakes. He bounces back well from adversity.

We think the earnings picture shaping up for this quarter is just going to be absolutely stupendous, led in part by semiconductors and the networking firms. They're all reporting in the next two weeks.

We think the earnings picture shaping up for this quarter is going to be absolutely stupendous, led in part by semiconductors and networking firms. Looking forward that's a different story. We've had two great years of earnings growth. We think it's going to be pretty difficult to show up with 30 to 40 percent earnings growth.

We are starting to play much better as a team. We're helping on defense and we're not being as selfish on the offensive end. It's nice to see and it's nice to be a part of it again.

We are so involved. Everyone works in Washington. Everyone is connected to Washington.

We are showing improvement. We have a young team, and we're playing some pretty good teams in tournaments, so we took a few lumps early. We have a lot of sophomores in our lineup, and you can see them learning some more almost every match.

Truly, we were doing pretty good and then almost let it get away from us.

With budget deficits growing to historic levels, we need to make sure tax dollars are going to those who truly need the government's help, ... Tax beaks for the gambling industry do not make sense.

There are probably bartenders who know more about the Patriots than I do. But I know Bill. I wouldn't be concerned about it. I wouldn't worry about the Patriots. I think they've got the best coach and the best quarterback.

This should be a working conference bringing together technical experts, airlines, controllers, airport officials, private pilots, to come up with focused recommendations for reducing runway incursions and a realistic schedule and a realistic budget to carry out those recommendations,

This will happen, and when it does, Apple will double its market share.

This will be very positive for UPS over the long term. This is not material to earnings per share during the next few years, but over time it will be an important growth engine. It is also important to UPS because of the validation of the political time and effort they spent in winning support on Capital Hill for these slots.

This will be targeted at protecting the stock if there is a sell off by current owners. This is not new news.

There are a lot of young guys who are doing it, like the guy in Pittsburgh (Ben Roethlisberger), ... He's doing it. They're seeing a lot of it (pro-style defenses) in college now.

There are a lot of things in that contract that are a bit disturbing.

When you have four shows on a network, some decisions you're going to agree with and other decisions you're going to violently disagree with. You've heard me violently disagree with other decisions (and) it has absolutely no effect on the decision-making process.

There are just certain times when you?ve got to suck it up and everyone has to contribute for the good of the community.

When you look around there is still a lot of damage, that is evident, but we have come a long way.

When you know you can finish second the intensity is not there. We still wanted to win, but we knew that if we didn't make any major mistakes we had league wrapped up. We're happy because we maintained the streak.

With our schedule, it'll be hard to predict how we'll do. But I'd be disappointed if we're not back in contention for the playoffs again.

We are excited about the Tiny Toes Maternity Program. This service allows us to better serve our community and help parents through the often overwhelming experience of pregnancy.

We are especially pleased that we were able to offer a $5,000 college scholarship during the party.

We are especially pleased that the project's focus is to deliver substantive content that so clearly supports the university's mission of teaching, learning and research both in the classroom and to our thousands of alumni around the world.

Under the right circumstances, for an average or low-risk patient, the mortality risk is very low, ... The risk of complications is very substantial, and the patients need to be prepared.

When Sandy takes on a volunteer assignment for Stanford, he does so with energy and gusto rivaled by few, dedicating his time and energy completely.

Both Valerie Wilson and the nation were injured by this. Her personal safety and that of her family and her contacts is in jeopardy.

Both teams played really, really well. It was sad to see either team lose this year because they both could have won a lot of leagues. It was fun to watch because I've never seen 12 kids so totally focused.

We've been pleased with the response from the community, from both people that have children and the business community. They know we are attempting to put together a quality program for all the students.

We've been playing it for three years in the school and two in the summer, so it's basically what we do. I don't know how to explain it expect that it's just first nature.

We see the advisory role as a unique situation. Teachers will become a link between the home and school.

We see some upside risk to the third quarter and further out balances on the back of energy (particularly natural gas) prices, which continue to sustain themselves at elevated levels.

We need to get that down. We'd like to be around, at the most, 15 a game. Plus we need to put the ball in the basket better; we were 16-of-42.

To put out a guideline that reiterates existing law and regulations is a stunt.

While the temporary outlook for Hilton is really positive, don't expect ITT to just sit back,

While the stock has been strong year-to-date and expectations were for a strong quarter, our sense is this was a very strong and clean quarter that shows evidence of increasing volume acceleration at Ground, improving margins at Express and stabilizing yields generally.

You are starting out with a market share of 2 or 3 percent and maybe going to a market share of 6 or 7. Apple is not going to take over the world.

You cannot stop piracy if you don't provide legitimate channels, ... as if all of L.A. had only one multiplex.

You cannot hope to bribe or twist, Thank God! the British journalist But, seeing what the man will do unbribed, there's no occasion to

You cannot hope to bribe or twist (thank God!) the British journalist. But, seeing what the man will do unbribed, there's no occasion to.

To see the defense play the way they have this entire spring kind of bothers me. I want to get out there and compete with those guys.

Theoretically, Lexmark could maintain prices and cede share. But they're unlikely to do that. If they cede share their installed base won't grow, so the all-important cartridge revenue won't grow. If HP does price aggressively, Lexmark will be forced to meet their pricing.

The opportunity to see life they way one of one of our greatest Southern artists actually lived it is just extraordinary.

The other issue for H-P is going to be the competitive positioning, ... Are they continuing to lose share to the likes of Dell?

We've never seen a beast like UPS, ... It's best in class, six times bigger than its next largest competitor. They set pricing. They have best returns in the integrated (freight transportation) sector.

To a man of sixty... one of the grimmest reminders of the Reaper's approach comes when his doctors, the people who have attended to his body for decades, begin retiring on him... or dying on him... or both.

This was really dumb. They are paying that kind of money for a company with no real profits and one product. I'm stunned.

This was, by far, our best defensive effort of the year. We were playing the passing lanes, we were aware of where their shooters were, and when they shot the ball, we contested everything.

This underscores the importance of the physician's endorsement of screening.

What is it that makes a man willing to sit up on top of an enormous Roman candle, such as a Redstone, Atlas, Titan or Saturn rocket, and wait for someone to light the fuse?

We go from the No. 2 team in the state to the No. 1. What can you do? You just have to keep fighting and keep trying to get better. We just have to keep believing and try to make something happen.

We had a goal of a half-million dollars that second year and as the thing kind of blew up and we realized we were close to a million, it was the seventh or eighth inning and (Red Sox vice president of public affairs) Charles Steinberg called us and said they're donating the last $25,000. The feeling was incredible.

TV is not about ideas. It's about execution. And writing and casting. That's why most of TV drama's biggest stars have been character actors, not romantic leads. Peter Falk. Telly Savalas. Angela Lansbury. They can inhabit a role for years, and that's the TV challenge. I like to say a successful movie lasts 110 minutes. A successful TV series lasts 110 hours.

With home heating oil expected to increase by as much as 31 percent this year and residents already facing a 71 percent increase over last year?s natural gas costs, energy costs are going to have an even greater impact on families this year,

With sales now, it's not a signal that tech companies are about to fall apart. Executives want to diversify away from having their money being tied up in one asset.

What we are looking for is interest rate cuts to be beneficial to the market.

What this is, is an expression in free-market democracy.

What happened in every one of those cases was, we had the guy rated higher and they slipped through. And you say to yourself, 'If we don't take this guy, we're stupid. Let's pick him.' I don't know if that's the case with Whitticker, but it looks like they've hit on him.

What Exxon did to us is not fair, what has been done to us is a travesty.

We're playing a little bit better. We've been up and down all year, but we've had some really good games.

We talk to the customer on a level that is not product-oriented.

We simply didn't do the little things tonight. In a game like this you just can't make those kind of silly mistakes. There's really no room for error.

Through the years, students in the musical programs at FSU have attended these concerts and some students have played at the post-concert reception,

We just take it one game at a time and try not to look past anybody. It's hard at times, but we just try and stay focused on that one team until we beat them.

We weren't looking at going to Preston Center but when we saw the building and the amenity mix and what we could do there, everything hit home.

What that told me was that I now had a chance to get Brett Favre as a player,
