When we first opened we wanted the restaurant to be slow- paced, the bar area with its couches to be medium-paced and this bit to be fast-paced.

Cardinal Keeler is well respected among his fellow bishops, and the Archdiocese of Baltimore is the first American diocese, the seat of the church, ...

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.

Chip Berry

He got a little emotional over at Holy Cross when he talked to the players and had to say goodbye there. He composed himself, looked the players straight in the eye and he said, 'I'm sorry that you had to see my emotional side, but that's the way I am and I expect the same out of you. I want you to play with emotion and passion.' And I think the message was very well received.

F. Schumacher

I think the better option is to be in a chain-link area. But I also realize that would be putting a burden on each person if we made that a requirement, ...

Matthew Fox

Bill Hicks

They Want You To Be A Docile Apathetic Consumer

Paul Bloom

They've got a horrible reputation, but they can be fairly docile - at least when they don't want to mate and aren't hungry. At times like those you don't want to be around.

Kevin McGrath

We're so eager to play them again. We're just hungry for them.

Alan Bersin

What this budget does is express (Schwarzenegger's) best judgment of how all the competing needs of California can be met and in this case provide a very large increase in education funding.

Tim Stevens

Kubrick never explained the ending to us, or what his intentions were. He didn't intend for it to be a predictable film.

We briefed him on our policy and our dealings and the state of play with North Korea, ... As a result of our discussions with Governor Richardson, I think we both share an interest in seeing North Korea make the right decision with regard to ending its nuclear program and choosing a path of reintegration with the international community.

John Scofield

We're going to have to stick to this budget. We're going to have to reduce the defense transfer and we're going to have to drop the gimmicks. That's our starting point and ending point.

Russ Koesterich

We're just winding down the year, ending the year with these sort of small, middling gains, which to me makes sense because you've had opposing factors this year. On the one hand you've had good earnings and a robust economy, but on the other hand, you've been fighting the Fed. The two canceled each other out.

Ryohei Muramatsu

Unless the market can get a firm perception that the US Fed is ending its interest rate hike cycle, the ongoing weakness of the yen may not come to an end.

Jim Clark

I don't believe it should simply be you're expelled for a year, period, ... Safety issues, whether it's guns or anything else, we deal with all the time.

Philippe Petit

I have been expelled from five different schools when I was a kid. And I learned basically all what I do by myself.

Hannah Arendt

Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the in-between which relates us to and separates us from others. As long as its spell lasts, the only in-between which can insert itself between two lovers is the child, love's own product. The child, this in-between to which the lovers now are related and which they hold in common, is representative of the world in that it also separates them; it is an indication that they will insert a new world into the existing world. Through the child, it is as though the lovers return to the world from which their love had expelled them. But this new worldliness, the possible result and the only possibly happy ending of a love affair, is, in a sense, the end of love, which must either overcome the partners anew or be transformed into another mode of belonging together.

Matthew Fox

Left to my own imagination, I could never have composed a scenario that was anywhere as interesting as my life has been: starting out as an eager altar boy, a good Boy Scout, a relatively docile Dominican brother and priest, receiving an advanced degree in spirituality, teaching bishops and many others around the world about our Western spiritual tradition, and then ending up being expelled from the Dominican order.

When the phonies are expelled from their leadership roles and the Republican Party backs a moderate gubernatorial candidate acceptable to the rank and file with proper financing and the intestinal fortitude to fight the good fight, the rank and file will rejoin the fold.

Ambrose Gwinett Bierce

SATAN, n. One of the Creator's lamentable mistakes, repented in sashcloth and axes. Being instated as an archangel, Satan made himself multifariously objectionable and was finally expelled from Heaven. Halfway in his descent he paused, bent his head in thought a moment and at last went back. "There is one favor that I should like to ask," said he."Name it.""Man, I understand, is about to be created. He will need laws.""What, wretch! you his appointed adversary, charged from the dawn of eternity with hatred of his soul --you ask for the right to make his laws?""Pardon; what I have to ask is that he be permitted to make them himself." It was so ordered.

Roger Quarles

As far as I know there will be no students expelled from Caldwell High School for participating in that march.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Elliot Diringer

We've asked the OPEC nations to keep an open mind about increased oil production, and we continue to believe an increase is good for both producing and consuming nations.

Mike Turner

We've always tried to play all of the good teams. If we're going to be one of the good teams we've got to play the good teams.

Gene Johnson

We've always tried to have a good mix of stuff on our albums -- something that's fun, something that's very radio friendly, something that's going to touch someone's heart, maybe even something that's pop influenced. More than ever, on the 'Completely' album, we wanted to show more than one musical side of Diamond Rio.

John Mackey

We've always tried to be good citizens in the communities that we do business in.

Jamie Dixon

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

John Carr

We've always said controllers are like runways -- it takes three to five years to make a good one,

Joe Hudak

We've always played well here. We're a good club, and I think we're trying to show we can play with other good clubs. We're certainly not intimidated.

Adam Ereli

We've always made clear that truces are good only insofar as they go, and that's really not very far.

Leon Tarnto

We've basically committed a mutiny. We've left DHH and we're working with the military.

Tim Saunders

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. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.

Tiger Woods

When we were taking the carts back to the tee, ... I couldn't hear anything. In my left ear, I'm half deaf, people whistling and screaming, and then my right ear, I'm half deaf. It was electric, it was loud, people were really into it. J. D. brings huge galleries everywhere he goes.

Eli Juarez

When we were down by 19 I'm sure people left to go watch the other game. It came down to earning some respect. We decided to go out and leave everything on the floor. I think the kids earned that respect with their effort.

Jason O'Mara

When I was on 'Terra Nova', I had an Australian iPhone and a U.S. iPhone, different time zones, just a couple differences in the machines, but I was able to keep the international aspect of things in order. But I lost my U.S. iPhone right before I left Australia. Somebody's got it somewhere out there. Send it back?

John Kline

When I talk to teachers, parents, superintendents, my colleagues, everyone wants to fix No Child Left behind. There is great dissatisfaction with No Child Left Behind.

Mary Roach

When I was a kid, I hated everything. I was really skinny, and I'd have a milkshake with an egg in it. Growing up, I ate, like, five different foods. I was not an adventurous eater. But as soon as I left home, that all changed and from that point on, I've been a pretty enthusiastic eater of new and strange food.

Bruce Bochy

You don't like being 3-7. But we have too much baseball left to dwell on it or be concerned about it.

Dan White

We're going to point out this year how jobs have left the state.

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.

Cody Franson

When it come down to it on most nights it is about the player and the teams that work the hardest and not so much a chess match of strategy. Composure is key to playing defense and you cannot allow others to get under your skin and throw you off your game.

Ken Cox

We remain optimistic that two others trapped in the tunnel may be found alive,

Rick Wagoner

We're going to take some time here, think in terms of 30 to 60 days, to step back and decide the next step in this journey, ... There's interest among others for various forms of transactions. So we'll have options. We just haven't decided yet what makes the most sense for GM. In 30 to 60 days we'll be ready to try again with something that we expect will work this time.

David Crane

We're going to split crews up to handle the cargo. Some will go to Chicago and arrange for its export out of the country, and others will go directly to Beijing and wait for its arrival.

Kathleen McGinty

What this is about is saving the state substantial sums of money. It's about having others chip in to solve the $15 billion price tag for cleaning up the problem.

Richard Thoman

When we find unauthorized use of our patented technology, we have to move accordingly to protect our shareholders' investment, ... We just will not let others misappropriate our intellectual property.

Jack Bass

What actually started the shooting was a highway patrolman firing his carbine in the air a couple of times, intending it as warning shots, and others started shooting,

Bob DuPuy

We remain guardedly optimistic and are looking forward to receiving a positive response to our reapplication, hopefully within a matter of days.

Judy Gresser

What he has done is created a permanent source of funding for these agencies. The organizations he has named in the fund can count on receiving an annual check from now until forever.

Catherine Marquette

United for D.C. is excited to begin the third annual United Community Grants cycle. Last year alone, United for D.C. distributed almost $85,000 in grants to six local organizations, assisting established groups expand their urban soccer programming and helping new organizations create inner-city programs. We look forward to receiving another round of quality applications this cycle.

Cheryl Richardson

Ask for help. Receiving is an act of generosity.

Charles M. Schwab

What we must seek is a plan by which the men will receive high wages when the employers are receiving high prices for the product.

Michelle Abraham

We are seeing a more pronounced dichotomy between full-featured boxes that are used by pay-TV providers to offer other services in addition to satellite TV reception and basic boxes for TV reception only. Advanced features include hard drives for DVR services, multiple tuners, more connectivity options, and high-definition decoding for receiving HD signals.

Krish Krishnan

We are pleased with our performance in 2005. The year was highlighted by the filing of the new drug application on NRP104, our lead compound under development, for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in pediatric populations. We believe that this advancement together with the progress on our other pipeline products positions us well for future growth. Looking forward, we anticipate receiving approval from the FDA on NRP104 in the second half of 2006 and making IND filings on NRP409 and NRP388, the two most advanced candidates in our preclinical pipeline, by the end of the second quarter of 2006. In addition, we plan to continue to develop NRP290, our second most advanced compound, and other drug products in our research pipeline.

Steve Largent

When you start thinking about taking pictures, sending an e-mail, receiving an e-mail, speaking into your phone and have it transcript voice into text and then sent as an e-mail, it's mind-boggling.

David Perry

There is no other event out there that combines snowboarding and skiing in an open registration format on this scale. This event is receiving incredible hype and response in its inaugural year and promises to set the standard for open competitions.

Ian Shepherdson

We remain relatively optimistic about the housing market, but we do accept that activity fell sharply in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11,

David Stern

We're getting to a place where we have to make a decision relatively soon. I would hope by the end of next week we'll have something to say.

Marshall Acuff

We're going to get to a point where the market is going to stabilize. Keep in mind that really what's going on is that we're taking excess out of the market, and we're doing it in a relatively orderly fashion. In the long term, I think this is very healthy for the overall market. I would call it a period of rebalancing.

David Yalof

What history dictates is even relatively weak presidents have often gone for home runs with nominees,

Maajid Nawaz

What's my audience? British society. Am I received relatively well? Yes. Is there within that... if you break it down, challenges with Muslim communities? Of course there are.

Keith Nicholls

Unless Riley really messes up something - given relatively good economic times, given the lack of scandal, given the fact that all of the tax business is in the past - it's hard for me to imagine how Riley could blow it.

Tom Smith

Work with the people to find things that would be creative that would maybe prevent damage. Particularly for people that are really on the periphery of the flood area that could maybe for relatively small investment could do improvements that would prevent flooding.

Richard Katz

With the large clinical trials, the bleeding problems have turned out to be relatively small, and certainly worth it for the patient,

Matt Brown

We're hoping to attract the 25-and-up demographic with relatively well-known entertainment but it doesn't always work out that way. Upstairs, we're aiming for a more mature high-end clientele that wants a premium experience.

Lara Rhame

We're getting to a phase where European data could have more of an impact because a solid U.S. economic scenario is so widely expected. The markets are also very thin, so traders aren't taking on large amounts of risk.

H. Hunt

We factor in every scenario we possibly can. She's comfortable and confident on this hill. If she's motivated, ready to go, prepared to put down a great run, she'll race. If she's not, it doesn't make a lot of sense for her to go.

Bud Childers

The perfect scenario would be for Asheville to lose, Radford to lose and I believe we host.

Holly Holm

I'm glad people think that I can do well. I always say I would rather that be the scenario than on the other end of it saying, 'We thought she'd be real crappy.' I'll take the side that I'm on. I'll take that people think that I'm going to do well; they have faith in me and believe in me, and that makes me feel stronger.

Alex Steffen

There's no really rosy scenario ahead, where climate change just doesn't happen, but I believe we don't have the ethical right to throw our hands up in the air and say, 'Game over.' Whatever pathway we choose, our descendants will be dealing with that reality for centuries to come.

Dan Scott

Worst-case scenario would be a strike starting Monday.

Robert Brusca

Worker productivity generally creates a scenario where employees realize they can begin to demand more for what they do. While the year-over-year productivity gains are still quite good, there is some evidence that wage inflation may be starting to creep in. The Fed won't like this.

Paul Melvin

We're still battling with numbers. We have the same numbers scenario as last year. We're at 23. They will get better next year. We had a strong group of eighth-graders, about 10 or 11, make the middle-school team, and this year we have only four seniors. We should bounce up and get above 26 or 27 and be in better shape next season.

Eli Broad

I learned to embrace risk, as long as it was well thought out and, in a worst-case scenario, I'd still land on my feet.

Rick Souza

We're social animals, we're spiritual and we like to have fun. With my (construction) teams, when we go we do all three.

Robert Redford

What about a sequel to 'Butch Cassidy?' Well the guys died in it, what is it going to be, a spiritual film? Well how about a prequel? That's pretty desperate.

Bryant H. McGill

Through spiritual maturity you will see new ways to avoid unnecessary suffering; wiser ways to endure unavoidable hardships with grace, and opportunities to turn your pain into lessons of service and healing for others. Your hard journey has had a great purpose! Your pain was always a part of a plan to open your heart to love. Have faith. A miracle is happening in your life; the miracle of pain is transforming you to your highest self.

Thomas Merton

True encounter with Christ liberates something within us, a power we did not know we had, a capacity to grow and change.

Alan Green

Spirituality is a natural part of ourselves, as natural as emotions, but we've got all the language wrong and made this divide between secularism and spirituality, whereas instead it's about being human.

Alan Green

I've never really separated out the spiritual and the secular.

Alan Jay Lerner

On a clear day, rise and look around you and you'll see who you are on a clear day, how it will astound you that the glow of your being outshines every star! You feel part of every mountain, sea and shore. You can hear from far and near a world you've never heard before And on that clear day you can see forever more

Alan Chadwick

The one infallible sign that a spiritual teacher is a fraud is that he charges money for his instruction.

Alan Ball

I think it's very difficult, and it requires a tremendous amount of spiritual integrity and discipline, to not be a narcissist in a culture that encourages it every step of the way.

William Doherty

We've asked for this for a long time. Starting this summer, I want to see you all on it. I know I'll be riding.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Mark Krikorian

Tom was like an Old Testament prophet crying out in the wilderness, and finally people are starting to listen.

Dave Hohenthal

We're midway through the season now and I think the girls are starting to progress. We've got a lot more work to do, but I think that we're going in the right direction.

H. Hunt

We're making good strides every week. I think we're really starting to believe.

Bob Moulton

We're making a transition from a seller's market to a buyer's market. Inventory is starting to swell.

Jeff Pendergraph

We're starting to get a little upset with ourselves. We're losing these games because of ourselves.

Rob Jordan

We're starting to get a little more notice.

Bruce Bochy

We're starting to get a little concerned whether he's getting enough playing time.

Tyler Oakley

When it came to 'Binge,' it wasn't my intention to get on a little soapbox and have a teaching moment. It was more, 'Here are things that have happened to me; here's what I've learned from it. If you'd like to learn from it too, great; if you just like the entertainment aspect, that's fine too.'

Anne Sullivan

I never taught language for the purpose of teaching it; but invariably used language as a medium for the communication of thought; thus the learning of language was coincident with the acquisition of knowledge.

Li Hongzhi

What I am doing is teaching people to be kind and benevolent, ... It is not politically motivated. I have never interfered with state laws and decrees, nor have I been involved in politics.

Alan Greenspan

If we are to remain preeminent in transforming knowledge into economic value, America's system of higher education must remain the world's leader in generating scientific and technological breakthrough, and in meeting the challenge to educate workers.

Alan Bradley

TV and film taught me to think cinematically. Teaching others to edit, for example, provides a great deal of insight into the millions of ways in which given elements can be put together to tell a story.

Alan Arkin

"What I've learned about teaching is to refer back to the root of that word, which is educo, which means "to pull from." Education does not mean jamming information into somebody's head. Rather, it's that ancient idea that all knowledge is within us; to teach is to help somebody pull it out of themselves."

Alan Alda

Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.

Al Jourgensen

This rock thing got in the way of my teaching career.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Without doubt the emphasis in Christian teaching today should be on worship. There is little danger that we shall become merely worshipers and neglect the practical implications of the gospel. No one can long worship God in spirit and in truth before the obligation to holy service becomes too strong to resist. Fellowship with God leads straight to obedience and good works. That is the divine order and it can never be reversed.

Kacey Musgraves

When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.

Mike Carter

When I talk to friends about Western Kentucky University, I brag about how good they have been.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

Jerry Stackhouse

We're spoiled. We're at a point now where we expect to win them all. We're among the top teams in the Western Conference, if not the top team. We expect to win all the time.

David Phillips

What we're saying is from Vancouver to Thunder Bay, Ont., that western part of Canada is looking like it'll be warmer than normal, so it's a continuation of what the fall has been like.

Peter Hall

We find in most of Western countries slow economic growth, which means that jobs are being created slowly and that generous social benefits systems developed in the 1960s and 1970s are often unaffordable. So in one way or another, all of these countries face this problem.

Ed Rendell

We believe we're ready for them, ... We wanted to make sure we were ready before anybody came. We want the people of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to welcome them as folks who have been through hell in the last week. We want to show them a little bit of Western Pennsylvania heaven when they get here.

James Arness

What made us different from other westerns was the fact that 'Gunsmoke' wasn't just action and a lot of shooting; they were character-study shows.

Avery Johnson

Very few teams go there. I think that's a great accomplishment. In our league, and in the Western Conference particularly, 50 wins means a lot.
