Heber J. Grant

It was very significant two years ago when Greenspan endorsed the first Bush tax cut plan. So his basically lukewarm attitude now, saying that some of these ideas are good things in principle, but not at the expense of large deficits, has to weigh heavily on those moderate Republicans.

While we appreciate and are grateful for the government's comments and narrative of Mr. Fortier's labor in the past three years to assist the government in the investigation and prosecution of these cases, the retreat of support for Mr. Fortier as a trial witness and lukewarm endorsement in that regard is factually inaccurate,

We got the building emptied out, the city used Community Development Block Grant money to buy it and now it's on the road to demolition. The end of the tunnel is near.

Ken Ray

Years ago, we had a drug dog in Lebanon. But ever since it went away, it's been more difficult. Just bringing it in, having it go through, whether you find anything or not, it's kind of like having police officers on the street: You're less likely to break the law.

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all.

I have a lot of respect for them.

When I was a kid, I got sent off for head-butting a referee: I ran 50m to argue a decision, I was shown a red card, and I head-butted him. I'm really not proud of that.

Kevin Stallings

We're more athletic, but again, I'm not saying that we're at the same athletic level of all of the teams in our conference. Our skill level also has improved. We've been able to compete a little bit more athletically and it's shown up in some areas of our play.

Brent Nelson

We're so thankful for the nurses, the caregivers, the doctors they have shown so much kindness and respect.

Manson Hill

We're going to need them to play with the same kind of fire and emotion against Carrollton that they did in the fourth quarter against Elbert. They have been leaders all year. This senior class has shown a lot of leadership all year and we're going to need it.

Bob Ball

When we benchmark, we take the hard data from the quarterly census of employment and wages. If their method is consistent, this is the first year in some time that we've shown a positive increase. . . . But it does support what we've been saying all along that the economy is booming, booming, booming.

Allan Meltzer

What he's shown is that you can have full employment and low inflation at the same time. The Keynesian school didn't believe that, but Greenspan showed that it could be done.

What he has shown here is what he has shown from his first start in Double-A two years ago, pitching in a playoff atmosphere. One thing we've seen repeatedly is every time we've challenged him, he's responded favorably with an increase in his stuff, whether it be through velocity or action.

John Clippinger

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared. Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the centre of the identity management universe. With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

Melinda Eash

What we're seeing right now is a new generation of teenagers, that as society changes, they're more comfortable in coming out. A lot of them are getting more support from their families.

Mike Doherty

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

Vic Toews

What they say to me is that it is wrong that these individuals who have broken their obligations to society are now entitled to have the same voice in society.

Jane Lubchenco

What has become clear is that if society wants to avoid future disasters, it should do two things ? prevent even greater disruption to the climate system and prepare for the climate changes already set in motion. There is urgency on both fronts, reducing emissions and preparing to adapt.

Erik Hassle

I spent 2010-2012 in Stockholm, trying to figure things out. I caught up on life!

I felt so much more inspired to write and record than I had ever been, and the songs just started coming.

Eric Bristow

In 1987 I got dartitis, a psychological condition which means you can't let your darts go properly. For a time, I wondered what the hell I was going to do if I didn't recover. But I remained positive and, thankfully, got over it. It occurred during the Swedish Open when I found I couldn't let the darts go.

Kristin King

We knew this day was coming at some point. Lots of good will come out of another team getting to the final. It's great for Swedish hockey, and it shows we're not a two-team sport.

Actually I liked that 'Let the Right One In,' that Swedish vampire movie.

We're obviously looking forward to the Swedish Rally, as it's one of the most enjoyable rallies of the year for a driver.

Ruta Gedmintas

My name is Lithuanian. My father was born there, and he gave me a cool name. It's the Lithuanian national flower - looks like a weed, a little bit like me! - although in Spanish it means a 'route' or 'road,' and in Swedish it means 'square'. So, not quite so cool in those countries.

Richard Gough

My Mother is Swedish and my Father is Scottish, he played for Charlton in the 1960's and was in the Army, he captained the British forces team. We then moved to S.A. because a lot of players did that at the time.

On the basis of this advice of counsel, Mr. Duncan has authorized Sullivan & Cromwell to advise the Committee that he will rely on his constitutional right not to testify at the January 24 hearing. Mr. Duncan will testify on Jan. 24 if the Committee votes to grant him immunity.

Christopher Hitchens

I would rather be held in contempt than support such a scandalous outcome. I won't testify if it's just against (Blumenthal), ... The point is (that) the president made sure, some way or another, that the story got into print. It was a threat against a potential witness -- a very vulgar and crude one, very typical of his modus operandi.

Sean Walsh

Usually it's a workplace action or incident. More times the executives are concerned about unknown third parties, people that may have threatened the company in some way.

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.

Chogyam Trungpa

We are threatened by the now so we jump to the past or the future.

Michel Onfray

We do not possess an official certificate of birth for worship of one God. But the family line is clear: the Jews invented it to endure the coherence, cohesion and existence of their small, threatened people.

Would they see them as an asset or would they be threatened by them and vote them off right away? ... We love to force the castaways to make decisions.

Elliott Abrams

I first met Kim Dae Jung when he was a Korean dissident whose life was threatened by the military regime ruling in Seoul. I was Ronald Reagan's Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights, and Kim was directed to me because the East Asia Bureau at the State Department had long shunned him.

Scott Dover

Throughout the conversation, he (Angle) threatened to come out of the house with a firearm, despite pleas by the negotiator for him to come out unarmed.

Tamsin Greig

When we were growing up, women in their late 40s generally didn't dye their hair.

Justine Bateman

When I was in my teens and 20s, I looked to older Italian and French women. They always seemed so incredibly attractive to me because of their confidence. And because their faces had evidence of age: lines, dark circles, and half-lidded eyes, it made that confidence so rebellious. And that was incredibly attractive to me.

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.

Margaret Johnston

To my delight, instead of the usual unkempt, gum-chewing, tobacco-scented, tired and bored woman in a bad part of town, I was greeted by a lovely, clean, organized and educated lady with a deep and true love of children.

Kavita Ramdas

With few exceptions, the leading women in philanthropy, notably Melinda Gates, are the wives or daughters of rich and powerful men.

Katie Lowes

If you can find a group of women, any age, who are supportive and kind and love you, that's the best. I have a group of girlfriends that I would lay in front of a bus for. They've picked me up through really, really bad times and I can definitely say I've done the same for them.

Greg Garrison

We've battled adversity all year and have been in those kind of situations. Our kids know they're never out of a game. But it looked pretty bleak there for a bit.

Tony Haynes

We've averaged 20-plus wins a year for the last five years, five straight NCAA tournaments. Kids graduate. Hey, that's a successful program.

Clint Hurdle

We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.

Shawn McDowell

We've always thought this senior class had the physical skills, it was a matter of them jelling together as a unit. A year can make a big difference both mentally and physically and the kids have really matured.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Sean Cotter

We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.

Ray Preston

When we were talking to him, he didn't want to commit to how long. So I said, 'Try a year and see how it works out.' Fortunately he's been there since.

John Tesh

When I was playing piano, it was like, 'I'm going to write a song using all the white keys.' My music director, who knew my jazz background, suggested I try big-band music, so we spent a year experimenting with it in concert, and the audience reaction was really good.

Mike Curb

When I was lieutenant governor, Jerry Brown was governor and you might recall that he spent just about a year of my term out of the state.
