We've always set team goals. Making 100 points in a game isn't one of them, but if it happens it happens.

Dan Bartlett

When it comes down to it, Hillary Clinton will very much excite the Republican faithful to get out and work hard. I don't know if a similar case can be made if Obama is the candidate.

Hideo Kojima

When I was a child, there really weren't very many video games, but I do have memories of 'Pong.' Maybe it was 'Pong.' It was a home system in Japan, so maybe it wasn't the real 'Pong.' It was just sort of a Japanese game that was similar to 'Pong.'

Bob Rogers

We're going to get together and start to work. There are a lot of communities out there that faced similar problems and came up with viable options. I think we can come up with something that will work for Kent.

We remind our players that this is something that was a special night in a heated situation but it's not going to be a steady diet for us. The onus on Kobe is to stay inside the team offense. The onus on the players is to pick it up a little bit better.

Anne DiFrancesco

We're meeting because we're very concerned about the school situation in town.

Dashon Goldson

We're making a lot more tackles than we should have to, but if we get put in that situation, then we just have to make them. That's how it is: If we're put in that situation we have to make them.

Dan Glickman

We're spending today, depending upon which agency of government, significantly more money on fire preparedness and treatment than we were spending in 1993, ...

Tommy Amaker

We're going to review those situations when we get the opportunity to do so.

We're going to go to San Antonio and set up our operations. The players will have a few days off to try to deal with their families, deal with their situations at home and try to get their families to San Antonio, and then we'll go to work next week to prepare for the season.

We've always had a more pragmatic view of our business. You can describe our mission in two words: technology transfer.

Ian Shepherdson

We remain of the view that the Fed's near-term objective is simply to support the stock market until consumer and business sentiment improves,

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.

Phil Forest

We're spending more time on our computers. Even though television viewing is up, there is still a percentage that they're losing. If they put programs on the Internet, they can capture more of the audience. That's one of the key factors driving the networks.

Ignacio Bunye

We respect the views of the former general, appreciate his sense of nationalism and share his concerns about the plight of our people. But this quixotic declaration is pathetic and unfortunate.

Anne Finch

Did I, my lines intend for public view,How many censures, would their faults pursue,Some would, because such words they do affect,Cry they're insipid, empty, uncorrect.And many, have attained, dull and untaught,The name of wit, only by finding fault.True judges, might condemn their want of wit,And all might say, they're by a woman writ.
