What we're seeing is a great deal of customization on country and industry levels.

We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap.

John Smit

We're going to Dunedin to win the Tri-nations, not to defend it. We do not want to wait another week to see what will happen in the match between the All Blacks and the Wallabies.

After two or three hours of calling hotels, I got through, and the manager's brother answered the phone.

Dick Gephardt

You don't lock into a ten-year family budget. You take it a year at a time - maybe even six months at a time.

It hit me after we beat Jeff Stoughton at the Olympic Trials in Halifax. There, you are trying to win a big game and the pressures that go with that.

Mike Dowling

We're getting better every day. Tom is a great outside runner, Hunter runs the ball inside, and (fullback) Jamie Jackson gets around the blocks. And the offensive line is coming together, even though pretty much everyone is new. If we play as we've practiced, look for big improvement.

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field.

I have had threats, people saying they were going to get me. The police have told me to alter my routine, not to frequent certain pubs and clubs. There's a playground-bully mentality that I have lived with.

Then the winning cow gets a satin ribbon draped over it, which has the title and the year on it.

Liz Smith

Gossip is news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress.

Paul Weller

The Jam went through a phase of wearing satin jackets. But that was pre-getting signed and making it, when we were still playing the pubs and clubs - around '75. Shocking, really - what would you call them apart from 'horrible?' We'd wear these white zip-up bomber jackets with black kind of loon pants and black and white shoes.

Craig Marks

There's no way around it. Over here, if you want to sell a lot of records, you have to go to local radio stations in Dayton, Ohio, and shake the hands of men with satin jackets.

Rod Stewart

I don't think people expect Bruce Springsteen to come out in a pink satin jacket, but Rod Stewart, they do. And I like doing it; I don't wear it just because I think I have to. I'm a very flamboyant person.

Todd Oldham

Lanny Poffo

Yes because he was signed in 1971 by the St. Louis Cardinals as a free agent and he spent four years in the minor leagues, just knocking about,

David M. Kelley

When I was in high school, I lettered in math. The only thing that was important was football. There were two other letters that were awarded each year. One was in math and one was in science.

Bernard Lagat

When it comes down to it, I wanted to win wearing this (USA) uniform. I was going to run to my best so that we could win. It wasn't like running against the Kenyans. Today, it would have been nice to beat my old countrymen. At some point, I felt that I let my teammates down.

Marshall Cohen

When it becomes the third week, the novelty is going to wear off, but the consumers will still be buying one more item just because of the fact that they're going to be having ... more in their pocket. That one item is going to add up and it is going to benefit the retailer more than the consumer.

Andrea Gorski

We got up tight on them and we did a very good job of rotating on to the next pass. Even if we don't get a steal or a turnover off the press, we use it to wear teams down.

Ernie Irvan

We can do a lot more in our everyday lives to prevent brain injuries. I'd like to see everyone here, when they buy that next car, make sure it has side airbags. And make sure kids under 15 always wear a helmet for bike riding, skateboarding, rollerblading. We could save a life a day just by doing that.

Jerramy Stevens

We felt like we were going to wear them down eventually. And I think that's what happened. They couldn't stand up to it the whole game.

What we're seeing is a result of Koizumi's diminishing popularity -- the 'Koizumi effect' is wearing off.

The person wearing the shirt can point a guest in the direction of a younger sober brother who can give guests rides home. If nothing else, the person wearing the shirt will know who to talk to. They can locate the president or the social chair and elicit their help.

Laura Marano

I'm kind of obsessed with wedges, but I go to a regular high school, so I'm not going to be wearing Vera Wang there.

John Tesh

John Travolta

When I was a kid in the 60s, believe it or not, most of you are younger and don't know that, but it was a blast to fly! You dressed up, you got in your Sunday best, women wore white gloves, you had room to stretch your legs out, you had a very nice meal, the stewardess paid particular attention to you. It was an event. It's so different today.

Edmund White

When I was a child, I loved 'The Marble Faun' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The reason I liked it was because it had a beautiful binding. When you're a kid, you like books because they're pretty to look at, and this one had a white calfskin cover and gold edges. That was enough to make me love it.

John Edwards

We're missing some of that leadership in the White House now.

Richard Armey

We're going to take the president's submission as a serious proposal, and we're going to see where we can go and how we can work with the White House and the Democrats,

Mike Shula

We're going to put importance on the depth chart through the jerseys. We talked to the guys who have the white jerseys on offense and the crimson jerseys on defense about how you have to fight every day to hold on to those jerseys. We want it on their minds. We want to create an atmosphere that we have more competition that we've ever had.

Dick Armey

What we're not willing to do is to get ourselves into some complex negotiation with the White House where they initiate some increase in spending ... We just don't believe that is a dignified process,

John Niven

Whenever someone like a plumber or a mechanic tries to explain something technical to me, I listen for about three seconds before it all just becomes white noise, like Charlie Brown's teacher.
