We've always had the rallying cry of, 'Hey, nobody out there thinks we can do it,' and that was fun. We've never really had a star player, and there's never really been a case of 'So-and-so didn't produce and that's why we're losing.' So it might take a little adjustment, but I think we're definitely a lot better team with him.

Jim Crumlish

When we were losing, going into practice every day was tough. You go in every day to practice knowing that it will be brutal. And when you are losing, it's that much worse. You don't get to see the benefits of all your hard work, as you do when you're winning.

Jermaine Spencer

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

Mark Murray

I think the factual record is going to show very clearly that Microsoft's prices are actually lower than most of our major competitors. Lower than IBM , lower than the Macintosh operating system.

Matthew Fassler

We remain concerned with the company's longer-term positioning, given its choppy sales showing despite significant store-level investment, and its poor return on capital. The majority of its remodeled stores should have yielded their most significant same-store sales impact in 2002, and we see few tangible growth drivers ahead.

What little man has to accomplish must be done quickly, at the place that is assigned to him and within the time that is allotted to him.

The task is no less than the manifestation of the Divinity latent in man.

Before I met Ayn Rand, I was a logical positivist, and accordingly, I didn't believe in absolutes, moral or otherwise. If I couldn't prove a proposition with facts and figures, it was without merit.

Scott Handy

We're more balanced than a Microsoft solution provider, who pretty much promotes Windows as the answer no matter what the question is.

Brad Wilson

What we're seeing is a great deal of customization on country and industry levels. When Microsoft was developing its CRM, it made sure that it was built on a Web services architecture so that it can be easily adapted to specific local needs and requirements. We don't ship an out-of-the-box, property-management application, for instance, but those in real estate using the software can easily add apartment information without adding programming code.

Rob Enderle

Whenever Microsoft wins one in this space, it's the little guy winning.

Jim Shepherd

When we asked participants which vendors would be considered in 2006 for their ERP purchases, Microsoft Business Solutions led the pack.

With companies of all sizes growing their ERP budgets, this is bound to be a banner year for top vendors in this space.

Steve Jobs

When we announced the Microsoft deal six months ago in Boston, we heard boos which I thought was crazy. In an industry of 'flash-in-the-pan' partnerships, this has turned out differently. Microsoft is out to continue a very healthy application business on the Mac,

Tom Brookes

We can confirm the meeting is taking place and is part of the regular dialogue between Microsoft and the Commission on competition and a wide range of other subjects.

Matt Rosoff

What's left under MSN -- MSNBC? Microsoft just divested itself of that, too.

Brendan Barnicle

What's interesting is that Microsoft is now more of a leverage story.

Dana Hayter

Unless Microsoft pulls a major rabbit out of its hat tomorrow, the judge will sign off on what the government put in front of him.

David Singer

Tom's has a strong heritage and solid reputation in the snack food business, and we believe that this opportunity will make our company stronger. The transaction developed quickly, and we are still developing our plans. In the near term we intend to continue business as usual while we develop a plan to effectively meet the needs of our customers and consumers. We are confident that the combination of increased sales and operating synergies will create value for Lance, Inc. stockholders.

We remain concerned that Dell may push industry pricing levels lower, responding to actions by competitors, lowering everyone's operating profitability,

George Ellis

We believe this transaction fairly reflects for our stock holders the many improvements we have made throughout Beverly in recent years, as well as our strong operating and financial momentum.

Rick Sherlund

We believe this provides little to no remedy, given that the operating systems business is still a monopoly business as determined by the court.

E. Hurley

What's not well known is they're not in the business of stealing things and theyre not hackers. It's best to think of them as a fence between the buyer and the seller. They're not technologists and they don't care to be, they just want to make sure that their activities are not traceable and these are the organizations that are operating around the world.

Wendelin Wiedeking

When we were buying, many others were also buying, and to a great extent in fact and at prices that we never would have wanted to pay.

Barbara Boxer

To my constituents, today's hearing is about shared sacrifices in tough times versus oil company greed, ... Working people struggle with high gas prices and your sacrifices appear to be nothing.

Jim Wicklund

We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07. Visibility remains too good to worry too early, however.

Brian Archer

We're staring record energy prices in the face every day, it seems.

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.

John Hofmeister

We respectfully request that Congress do no harm by distorting markets or seeking punitive taxes on an industry working hard to respond to high prices and supply shortfalls.

Jon Huntsman

We're some weeks away from putting our budget together, but I can tell you this, that energy prices as high as they are will affect costs across the board. There's no doubt about that,

Edward Hemmelgarn

We're going to see continued growth in demand for drilling activity and exploration activity. With prices up so high and profit so great now.

Kate Warne

What we're seeing today is a combination of lower oil prices and concern about the strength of the economy in the second quarter.

W. Hull

When I was in the record store with Sean Avery helping him look for CDs, I pulled out Tapestry. He was like, Who is Carole King?Can you imagine?

Elgin Bayless

When I talked with the state, they said they had most of those records on microfiche. But they didn't have the books for these years and these counties. They couldn't believe that I had them.

Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

Brian Archer

We're staring record energy prices in the face every day, it seems.

Tom Birchard

We're sort of in an unprecedented type of regime here as far as the amount of rainfall we received over the last 30 to 40 days. And some of our records go back pretty far.

Gerard Way

We're so excited about playing the new record that we just want to play the whole thing.

Frida Lyngstad

I must have some sort of record in failing to get into the charts.

Tyson Slocum

What we're saying is, look, there's an easy way to pay for it: the oil companies. They've got record cash flows, record profits. Impose a new tax on them, use the revenues to dedicate to these programs.

Lester Bangs

What this book demands from a reader is a willingness to accept that the best writer in America could write almost nothing but record reviews.

Scott Handy

We're more balanced than a Microsoft solution provider, who pretty much promotes Windows as the answer no matter what the question is.

Chris Liddell

We remain confident in our growth prospects and have an exciting product line-up, which includes major releases like Xbox 360, SQL Server 2005, Office 12 and Windows Vista.

Charles Rule

We're going to get to ship Windows 98 with all its Internet functionality intact? and that's the key,

Mary Bowen

We boarded up the windows and were going to sit and wait out the storm.

Bill Gates

We bet the company on Windows and we deserve to benefit. It was a risk that's paid off immensely. In retrospect, committing to the graphics interface seems so obvious that now it's hard to keep a straight face.

Ross Chevalier

What's new here is that we now have one tool and one set of interfaces that manages Windows servers and desktops and Linux servers and desktops, and which can be configured to run in a Linux environment. That one toolset provides the customer with complete freedom of choice.

Daniel Kusnetzky

Unless Microsoft can prove that Windows 2000 is all of those things -- highly interoperable, consistent and reliable -- they can damage themselves and lock themselves out of the computer room for the next decade.

Chris Pirillo

With the introduction of these new Windows Marketplace Feeds, average users will find it easy to stay up-to-date with Windows. Better yet, there's no middle man to go through; all the hardware and software update information comes directly from Microsoft. That's a true win-win situation.

John Connor

We experienced another record year of business results despite many challenges. In particular, the Asia region rebounded nicely and our consumer business experienced a significant increase in revenue. Although we remain guarded in the near term about business PC growth rates, we look forward to the tremendous opportunity in front of us with the Windows 2000 generation of server products.
