When we engraved the 442 names on the back of the medals - that's when the reality sinks in. Everybody in the whole plant had to be involved to check the names and match the medals with the cases.

We respect Band Aid's ability to raise so much money for relief efforts, but their lyrics seem so misguided and inappropriate.

Alan Chambers

I think it's for me with regards to this issue I believe in justification at the point of salvation; I believe in sanctification at the point of salvation. That doesn't mean that we don't continue to mature as believers in Christ. But I believe that we are justified and we are sanctified. But sin resides, the power of sin resides in our flesh. It will always try us and it was always tempt us and therefore we always need to be submitting our mind, will and emotions to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Alan Chambers

I think we as believers can be secure in our relationship with Christ. I'm not saying that sin isn't sin. I'm not saying that people should live in unrepentant sin. I'm not saying that that's a mark of a mature believer at all. Certainly if someone looks at my life, they will see that I have surrendered my heart, my life to Jesus Christ. I'll be very glad to tell them what my faults and my weaknesses are and the areas that I pray about in my life every day.

When we got used to each other, I had pretty good idea of what he wanted to be done to the car, and we'd discuss matters.

It allowed me to also develop more knowledge and provide more input.

Odell Thurman

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

James Cameron

We're so scared of piracy right now that we're ready to pimp out our mothers. This whole day-and-date DVD release nonsense?

Allison Maire

We're going to take it day to day and team by team as far as how we're going to play. We have very good base runners and a lot of power this year.

But we're even more disciplined this year.

John Tortorella

We're going to miss him. He's a main piece to our puzzle, offensively, defensively, on our power play, all the things. Having said that, we'll hope he comes back but if he doesn't we have to be concerned about bringing someone up and we have to keep on playing.

Kent Beck

The marketing of XP is very deliberate and conscious. Part of it is in co-opting the power of the media; I make sure I'm newsworthy from time to time. Part is in co-opting some of my publisher's ad budget.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

John Mack

We're going to get some reality back in the market.

Ellen Galinsky

What this finding reflects is the dissonance of today's reality and yesterday's old ideas. There's the assumption that family for women detracts from work while for men it supposedly enhances their viability and stability.

Tom Tucker

When we engraved the 442 names on the back of the medals - that's when the reality sinks in. Everybody in the whole plant had to be involved to check the names and match the medals with the cases.

But that's what we do - what we manufacture generally has a higher degree of meaning to those that receive it. It's not just any award.

Rick Dickson

We're going to line up some professionals -- counselors. The reality is just setting in for all of us. We didn't have the benefit of looking from the outside in.

Michael Epstein

Unless the show is a period piece, shouldn't they have reflected the new reality that baseball has returned to D.C.?

John Thompson

We're getting contributions from 10 guys on a regular basis. Scoring is great, but you have to get some rebounds and have guys buying into defensive schemes.

Jim Coyne

We're getting close to making our vision a reality. It's exciting to be on the cusp of opening our doors to the public. We're right on schedule.

Chris Sehring

We're going to set out to build a separate television station. Our mission will be to try and find a way so as many people can see it as possible.

Eugene Hutz

What we're making isn't folk music, but savage intellectualism. We speak a language of a new world community that understands cultures can relate. So people who still speak of nationalism and racism or what separates us, they are inadequate for this time. Evolution goes on.

Matt Ward

When we have possession of the ball, it's tough for any team to stay with us. When we had the ball we were able to score. We really separated ourselves in the face-off circle.

Brandon Short

What happens on the field is its own world. The stuff those people are dealing with is their lives in the real world. They're separate worlds.

Unswerving loyalty to duty, constant devotion to truth, and a clear consciencewill overcome every discouragement and surely lead the way to usefulness andhigh achievement.

Philip Stanhope

Words, which are the dress of thoughts, deserve surely more care than clothes, which are only the dress of the person.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Asa Hutchinson

What he (Clinton) is telling a witness in a case that is adverse to him is that you do not have to tell the truth,

Phil Sorensen

We expect witnesses and jurors to come in and do their duties as citizens do their job and do justice. And when they are threatened or harassed they are less likely to do that. It erodes everything we're trying to do as prosecutors.
