Famous Quotes & Sayings

Olin Browne

What makes it really hard is it's not a reaction sport, ... This is a premeditation sport. You're walking down the fairway, considering what your options are on the next shot that you're going to hit, how you're going to handle it, where you're going to go with it what you're going to do ... you get your head handed to you a lot out here. You know, the people that do well out here are able to absorb that, deal with it, put it in a little compartment, send it somewhere where they don't need to be in and move on to the next step.

Proverb Proverbs

Bob Brown

I didn't want to be a shock absorber; I wanted to deliver the shock.

Bob Meyer

We started off with losses to two very good football teams, but we told the boys, 'One game at a time,' and that's the way we're approaching it. They're getting better every week. Our kids work really had and they absorb everything we're trying to teach them. I'm probably the happiest 2-2 coach in the state of Michigan.

Shawn Campbell

Where the men are going to get separated from the boys here is: Who can absorb higher energy and raw materials costs, pass those on in their pricing and have them stick as opposed to absorbing it in lower margins.

Niki Tsongas

Body armor is meant to fit snug to the body to stop shrapnel and absorb a bullet's impact. Armor designed for a boxier male frame does not fit properly on the overwhelming majority of females, who have a very different stature and body type than their male counterparts.

Cesare Pavese

We do not free ourselves from something by avoiding it, but only by living though it.

Arthur Helps

Reading is sometimes an ingenious device for avoiding thought.

Tim Birkhead

Compared with mammals, birds have relatively large eyes. In simple terms, a bigger eye means better vision, and excellent vision is essential for avoiding collisions in flight, or for capturing fast-moving or camouflaged prey. Birds' eyes, however, are deceptive - they are bigger than they look.

Joan Cusack

I think us gals need to stay in and just change the way it works, so men aren't being workaholics and avoiding life and relationships, and they can make films in a reasonable amount of time, so you can have a family and a life outside of work. And have more balanced, content-driven, enjoyable movies.

Bill Watterson

A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.

Barros Conti

The other thing is the redemption going on mutual and hedge funds due to declining stock valuations. We've seen a good level of liquidation recently where some of these funds that have been holding gold stocks are selling them to lock in profits. This kind of activity is still going to take a couple of days to unravel.

Greg Craig

The perpetuation of these circumstances deprives Elian of his childhood, and Juan Miguel of his right to raise his family. These losses are irreplaceable, and weigh heavily in favor of declining to impose a stay or injunction.

Larry Wachtel

On Friday, we had a ratio of 12 to 1 of losers to winners. That's the worst performance since 1997. We also had over 3,000 declining issues. This shows real weakness.

Jim Kelley

We're making progress, but we'd still like to see the population get lower. The problem we've been fighting is that they've had two straight years of good reproduction. So it's kind of like taking two steps forward and one back. But we think if we stay with the program we have in place, we'll eventually get there.

Sherry Cooper

We remain of the view that next week's rate hike will not be the Fed's last work this cycle. Indeed, they will likely eventually unwind all of last fall's crisis-induced easing.

Jack Crumbliss

We're going to get better. We're eventually going to get over the hump.

Kathryn Schulz

As a kid, I lived almost entirely inside books, and eventually the books started returning the favor. A lot of my internal world feels like an anthology, or a library. It's eclectic and disorganized, but I can browse in it, and that hugely shapes both what and how I write.

John Love

What we're seeing initially is a reduction in the number of cases allowed. Many of these will eventually get a patent, though.

When we do more than we are paid to do, eventually we will be paid morefor what we do.

Linda Stephenson

What a lot of people don't realize is these tests are given in preparation for the 10th-grade GQE. That's the one with the highest stakes for individual students. They have to eventually pass that to graduate.

Gwyn Gauger

We both knew that eventually we wanted the same thing. But it was all still so new.

John Clippinger

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared. Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the centre of the identity management universe. With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

Ken Hitchcock

We're starting to gain an identity and confidence. We're starting to build. You can hear it in the banter on the bench.

Ken Hitchcock

We're starting to gain an identity and a lot of confidence. The game (Sunday) against Ottawa has really moved our game up a notch... You can hear things on the bench, the bantering between players, which is excellent. You can hear the locker room has a lot more life. Our team is starting to gel.

Ken Hitchcock

We're starting to gain an identity and a lot of confidence, ... The game (Sunday) against Ottawa has really moved our game up a notch... You can hear things on the bench, the bantering between players, which is excellent. You can hear the locker room has a lot more life. Our team is starting to gel.

Richard Maulsby

When we find or are informed of such personal information in our files that could contribute to identity theft, we remove it and so inform the applicant or petitioner.

David Sanchez

When we first met with Schwarzenegger, we thought this was a moderate governor we could work with. Then he had this identity change and we could not believe it was the same guy we had been talking to.

S. Walker

We are getting better and our confidence is building. We're trying to find the identity of the offense. We have special players around us, and the offensive line is just doing what it has to do.

Kris Wartelle

We fear that the motivation was identity theft but we're hoping that we stopped it in time.

Richard Evans

We're extremely pleased, obviously, with the Austin market. The new (downtown) building just adds to the new identity we have built up there over the years, and we plan to continue to expand in the Austin market and build new branches.

Richard Lamm

With the mayor, people recognize that illegal immigrants are so ubiquitous in our society that it could happen to anybody. You hire a lawn crew, someone to come in and redo your basement, who knows what you'll get.

Charles Rangel

The United States is historically a nation of immigrants.

Mark Helprin

Of course, everyone in the New World is an immigrant or a descendant of immigrants, and immigrants have built America and continue to do so. Legal or illegal, they are almost universally good people who work to better their lot and that of their children.

Hector Tobar

I come from a family of working people. My parents were Guatemalan immigrants who spent most of their lives in the service industry.

Tom Tancredo

Until President Bush tells us he is willing to do everything possible to stop illegal immigrants from crossing our borders -- including the commitment of military assets to the task,

Timothy Sparapani

With this complex issue, the devil is truly in the details. Too much of the debate has not been focused on provisions that would bar the courthouse door for many immigrants who deserve their day in court and would require that everyone in the United States who wants to work must apply for 'permission to work' from the government. Congress should not pass a bill until these misdirected provisions are addressed.

Brian Sandoval

I do not support driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

Karen Abbott

Julie Brough

We're stalled. When you see oil prices back up to their high, you've seen gold hovering around $600 US, people are making some really good money and I think there's a lot of people who are just taking the opportunity to crystallize some gains which is keeping the market at bay a little bit right now.

Mark Shapiro

We're so careful in our risk assessments that we may have a better chance of keeping our players on the field. And risk-assessment tools have absolutely gotten better.

Sean Miller

We're going to try our best to provide as much help to the guy guarding him on that area of the floor. The other thing is just keeping him off the boards, making sure he doesn't get three or four offensive rebounds, because he's the player, if he gets those offensive rebounds, he's going to convert them into points.

Mitch Metcalf

We're going to play around with keeping the show fresh and creative, but the game is going to stay the same and real people who have interesting stories are going to be at the core.

Rick Hartzell

We're going to forge ahead with every intention of keeping Mac as our coach.

Ted Carpenter

What we're seeing is the reflection of two developments -- first of all, the U.S. military being more and more into a force-protection mode, keeping its military personnel as unexposed as possible to fighting.

Robert Morgenthau

What this case shows is, number one, the importance of the federal data bank, and number two, the importance of keeping rape kits,

Phil Davies

When we had 15 players on the pitch we looked pretty decent. It is about keeping the hard work going.

Ken Bacon

We're going to need a larger KFOR, and we want it deployed to Macedonia as quickly as possible. Should there be a peace agreement quickly, as we hope, we need a force that's ready to go in and help the refugees get back as the Serb forces pull out.

Dana Altman

When we have an opportunity to play the larger schools, they see the difference is just not there. Basketball is a home-and-road sport and, traditionally, the big schools have always played at home. Now when the smaller schools get them on a neutral court, the gap is not what the public perceives it to be.

Mike Hess

We found that consumer interest in science and science-related consumer products is both larger and more complex than many people previously thought.

We grew up competing with much larger institutions. They are very good at what they do and we knew that we couldn't beat them at their game.

Peter Beutel

We can debate what percentage of the profits should be plowed back into the company and what percentage belongs to the shareholders. Not being a shareholder, I'd prefer to see them err in the direction of spending a larger portion on refineries and new (oil and gas) fields and infrastructure.

Dave McCarthy

We can continue providing these services on a much larger scale with a well-rounded, seasoned management team, and grow together into the next decade.

Sherry Cooper

What little data I've seen suggests that only about 25 percent of businesses have taken deliberate, serious action. And certainly the larger corporations would be the ones that would begin the process. Let's face it, a small company probably would not have the capability of taking very dramatic action.

Randy Willis

Very few people have seen the team perform. Now a larger audience can see them if they have public access television.

Francie Schroeder

Very few of them are not recommended for container growing. But you have to take care of them as they get older. You have to put them in larger containers or they get root bound.

James Loney

When we were released I was sure I could jump right back into ordinary life and that's what I wanted the most, but I'm afraid no such luck. When I can get through an ordinary day without shaking legs and a pounding heart, I think that will be a sign that I can start to tell my story.

Colin Farrell

When we were kind of forced (by real life sniper murders in the Washington area that were too close to the film's plot) to pull the picture in October (from its Nov. 15 date), he wasn't nearly as big a star as he is today after 'Daredevil' and 'The Recruit.' He's become this hot guy.

Dan Jacobs

When we went to Minnesota, I had 15 people I've never met before in my life come up to me and ask, 'So, this is Missy, eh?'

Allan Ray

When I was on that floor and couldn't see anything, that was one of the first things I was thinking about, I'd probably be blind. I thought I was. I couldn't see anything. Everything was burning. Pretty much, my life just flashed in front of me.

Autumn Reeser

When I was little, I was a voracious reader, and that really led me to acting as well. I loved being transported into someone else's life, and that's what reading provided me. I also really love to entertain people.

Philippe Petit

When I was learning by myself, despite my parents, despite my teachers, despite society, when I was fighting for building my life as a young wire walker at age 16, I didn't have feelings, I had certainties.

Johnathan Frakes

When I was just acting on the show, I learned my lines, went to sleep, then woke up and went to work. Now it's sort of become an obsession. I like the success. I'm thrilled with the way things have gone-but my life was simpler 10 years ago.

Rachel Tucker

When I was in the running for the role of Elphaba, I knew it was important to research and study as much background information as I could, so I got my head stuck into 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire, and I believe I lost many days, weeks, and months reading it - I was captivated!

Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song.

Peter Thonis

When we announced the merger agreement on Aug. 8, this was not the case.

Eric Sims

With the merger of the three clubs, it has grown into something bigger. With the growth of HCU it is important that this tournament does do well.

Paul Anderson

With the merger action in North Carolina, we have cleared the last hurdle in the regulatory approval process. With all requisite approvals in hand, we intend to close on April 1, less than 11 months from our merger announcement.

Rob Gould

We're extremely troubled by the prospect that the legislature is attempting to hold our proposed merger hostage, and to that end we will be considering all options, including the legal route.

John Orrico

We're beginning to see greater levels of mergers as the economy improves and as executives that have been reticent get more comfortable with their own business.

Tim Robinson

We're basically doing the same kind of thing. We're just doing different sides of the street. We plan to have one CEO. We're now in the process of figuring out if the merger is an actual physical merger with one entity or if it's just an understanding with one convenient structure that looks like an agency.

Granth Sahib

Wherever He sends them, there they go. By His Command, the Lord, Har, Har, abides within our minds; by His Command we merge in Truth.

John Thorne

We appreciate the hard work of the Department of Justice staff in bringing this merger to resolution. The consent decree will result in no disruption to MCI customers. We are eager to begin offering the benefits of this new combination to customers as soon as possible.

Robert Roach

Until we reach and ratify collective bargaining agreements with United to address the effect of this merger on employees, it is not in anyone's interest for this transaction to go forward, ... The failure of United to provide written job protection dramatically increases the possibility of a strike by members of the Machinists union at United Airlines.

Joe Browne

We're going to take into account the status of the relief and rescue efforts in Louisiana and the entire Gulf Coast and apply league policies and precedents in as much of an extent as possible. NFL teams play their games outside their home stadiums either in another NFL city or in a city in their home territory. There is no precedent for playing any games in a non-NFL city.

John Mozena

We're generally supportive of efforts to make life easier on legitimate marketers. But I don't know if it's a good precedent to set for Internet service providers to charge per message for guaranteed delivery. That doesn't seem like the best way to handle spam.

Winifred Creamer

The people who built the first of these structures had no model to go by, no precedent to use in building a monument. It's a bit like deciding to build a functioning spaceship in your back yard, and succeeding.

Christopher McGrath

There is no precedent for this, but there is no question who put this situation in motion. If they did not have their illegal strike, there is no question that this would not have happened.

I. Stone

There is no precedent for an extended life span of 25 or more years, and a lot of people feel lost. A good retirement planner can change that.

Arlen Specter

Stability means respecting precedents.

Henry Hyde

We have no precedent to follow on the involvement of the independent counsel in our proceedings. However, it seems both useful and instructive that we should hear from him since he is the person most familiar with the complicated matters the House has directed us to review.

David Banisar

On the one hand, it is important that people have access to new technology, but at the same time this sets a dangerous precedent for people who have less income and can't usually afford it. I would urge people to have great caution about this. We have seen other deals, such as free phone calls and free e-mail, which generally don't succeed because people are concerned about privacy.

Stacey Quandt

If the court finds in Tiffany's favor, this would set a precedent and would place additional pressure on eBay to ascertain the provenance of goods sold.

Robert Maire

We would suggest that this disappointing number will likely disprove the view that the worst is behind us. It is clear that we blew through what was ours and the industry's previous expectations and it is difficult to imagine exactly how much lower we can go from here.

Mark Jackson

We felt it was something the program needed in order to be competitive. The initial plan began with previous administrations but it was really Dr. Gross who saw it through.

Eddy Curry

We felt in the previous two games, we played pretty well. Down the stretch, we kind of gave the games away. Tonight, we found ourselves in the same position and we just didn't let this one slip.

Bob Johnson

We bought him privately a few months ago. The horse did well on the all-weather for his previous trainer and he's improving over hurdles.

Tony Johnson

We bought fuel on Tuesday, and from the previous day it went up 30 cents a gallon, ... You hope tomorrow or the next day it will get better, but who knows when it's going to end?

Charles Kankelborg

What's new about MOSES is combining images with spectral information. Many previous instruments have done one or the other, but not both simultaneously.

David Rayburn

Unfortunately, many of these factors continue to persist. In addition, several other factors have deteriorated further than our previous expectations, including lower North American automotive build rates and rapidly accelerating raw material and energy costs.

Mark Chandler

Usually Canadian data doesn't mean that much but we were so close to testing the previous (dollar/Canada) lows that when we got better productivity numbers it gave the market a push.

Willis Reed

Yes, because the contract that they forced us into, the previous contract three years ago, in my opinion, I already gave them their raises. That's why I had a wage freeze in the first three years (of the new contract proposal).

Jason Carter

We've always had pretty much one guy at each spot who only came out if he was really tired or hurt. This year, we're going to play two or more guys at every spot because we just have that many talented players. Our depth is a lot better than it's been.

Mike Miller

When it comes down to it, you can't ever not want to win. So our job right now is to win as many games as possible, and if we're in that fifth spot, that's great, and we if we're in that sixth spot that's great, too.

Charles Ramsey

to move as much of the spotlight away from his client as possible.

Greg Hawk

We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right. We've got a good freshman core and the big hitters to drive them home so I like our chances. We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.

H. Judd

We're going to put those new deputies in the hot spots to ensure that we can keep crime down and answer calls for service.

Al Garza

We're going to get out there and do the same thing we've always done: observe, spot and report. And we're not going to let up, no matter what anybody says.

Carroll McCray

We're going to evaluate whether we moved the right guys. We're not opposed to moving any more. But with the two moves last week, and now with Brandon this week, everybody else should stay in their spots pretty much between now and next Tuesday." ()

Katie Featherston

What I really want to do is comedy. I would love to do some guest star spots on some single-camera comedies.

James Chessen

What we're recommending is that people take out as much cash as they would need for a long weekend. And if you're relying on credit cards, request copies of your credit report before and after the century change so you can spot and correct any Y2K errors immediately.

Norman Blake

When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice, ... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor. And they sounded like Velvet Underground meeting Al Green. They called themselves 'the sound of young Scotland,' a play on Motown's 'Sound of Young America.'

Jim Owens

We're so early in the storm ... that the hometown companies only themselves are in the early stages of identifying where the damage is.

Neil Stern

What they've done is buy themselves some time. The challenge is, how long does it last? If you're still losing sales, those stores that are profitable today won't be profitable tomorrow.

Norman Ornstein

What they've done, at least, is to give themselves a little breathing room from what was going to be a really ugly confrontation, and one that was a complete lose-lose for Republicans, no matter what.

Liz Stubbs

What they're getting out of it may not be money but experience and a credit, which they can use to get themselves a better-paying position on their next film.

Peter Casey

What all these people had is a belief in themselves and a belief in their work and the perseverance to keep trying until they succeeded.

Marion Orr

What he has to do is convince statewide voters that as CEO of Baltimore he did a good job. O'Malley's challenge is to show that he's been an effective executive despite the challenges Baltimore obviously has. And voters are going to ask themselves what they think about the job he's done in Baltimore when they decide.

Eric Hoffman

We found that most consumers classified themselves as 'novices' or 'apprentices' when it comes to vehicle financing and admit to feeling uninformed when it comes to that process. Our mission at AWARE is to reach out to and be a resource for all Americans who are thinking about buying another vehicle.

Ryan Rosenberg

We found that a lot of people were using advanced scripting, multiple files and other advanced tools but don't think of themselves as professional developers. So we repositioned the product and added more stuff for customization--more tool tips and custom menus.

John Roberts

You don't look to your own values and beliefs. You look outside yourself to other sources.

Ted Jones

With the many needs we have in our world today, I believe transparency, accountability and results are the most important characteristics that a donor should expect from a charitable organization. Maintaining these core values in our organization is not only vital for our donors, but also for our stewardship to the children we support.

Alan Greenspan

The need for values is inbred. Their content is not.

Al Sharpton

Life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.

Chinua Achebe

It has always been quite apparent to me that no important story can fail to tell us something of value to us.

Cher

There is only one value to having the look you have when you are young and no value to the look you have when you are older.

Charlize Theron

We value some lives more than others.

Charlie Munger

The only intelligence investing is value investing...to acquire more than one is paying for.

Charlie Munger

All sensible investing is value investing
