What a fantastic opening night of our PSL campaign we couldn't have asked for a better situation with Peter Nicol winning the decider to close the evening.

At the end of the evening there was a club full of smiling faces, as well as a very happy manager!

The genius of Christian spirituality is to integrate [the] spirit of possession with the spirit of dispossession.

Dispossession implies that I am always free, my own person, liberated from the tyranny that possession can easily exercise over us.

Alan Green

Being a Christian does not mean that there is one way of living a Christian life, people do it differently in different cultures because they have different interpretations, that's how it should be.

Ellen Tauscher

We appreciate the chairman responding to us but we also find his response deeply disturbing. The letter appears to have been written without any investigation of the specific facts in this case. It also appears there was no consultation with the Democratic members of the House Administration Committee.

Carl Pope

We applaud those in Congress who have refused to let drilling proponents manipulate them and the democratic process.

We are a democratic party. I respect and support the decision that has been made.

We strongly urge Senators from both the Democratic and Republican Party to pass AB 1207 and then for Governor Schwarzenegger to sign it into law.

This legislation will ensure that voters know whether a particular candidate's moral values include running a morally ethical campaign.

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.

Richard Miranda

We're meeting to go over laboratory test results and formulate a plan for what we're going to do about this.

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.

Jim Bowden

We respect the arbitrators' decision. We feel that it's a good salary for the team and a good salary for the player given his talents.

Jim Hall

Where I get frustrated is when we use government tax dollars to identify problems, we have developed a solution with our government tax dollars, but we have a reluctance to step in and mandate the solutions.

Jimmy Carter

There is no other mandate whose implementation could more to profoundly improve international relationships,

William Dickens

There is no mandate for corporations except for the minimum wage, which is set at $5.15 an hour. After that, the issue's up to the ethicists.

William Dickens

Jackie Speier

There is no longer any anonymity on the Web - unless we mandate it. The most personal information about your online habits is collected, bought and sold, often instantaneously and invisibly. Data collection is a business driven by profits at consumers' expense.

Tom Schatz

would mandate that state agencies use only open formats for the storage of documents by January 1, 2007.

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.

Rick Spring

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

George Campbell

We've always made it a point to be strong from the goal out. Defense is always a priority, but these kids have offensive talent that can't be denied.

Bethany Irwin

We've always had the offense, it's just defensively we had to turn it up a little bit better. We held them to 16 points at halftime, which I was pretty pleased about.

Kevin Cato

We've always felt like our defense was one of the stronger points of our game. Our goal was to have a hand in their face for the full 94 feet of the floor and that would hopefully take away some of their shooting ability.

Nick Vitucci

When we were 12 points behind Wheeling, we never doubted ourselves and always believed we could do it.

Greg Maxey

When we went up 4-2, at that point we should've closed it out. We kind of let them get the ball rolling. They played hard. They're a little deeper than us and they had a little more pop in their step at the end. Believe me, I was a little nervous.

David Hall

When it came down to it, I won the points that mattered,

Anthony Browne

When I talk to children, I show them a typical drawing I made when I was six and point out to them that when I was their age, I didn't draw any better than any of them.

Ron Williams

Tom was one of those perpetual-motion reporters, always running from one court to another, ... And if he wasn't in the courthouse or at a trial, he was on the phone. He had probably the best stable of lawyers and court contacts anyone has ever had.

Hu Jintao

We both believe sustainable, healthy and stable development of Sino-US ties conforms to ... the common aspiration of our two peoples,

Hu Jintao

We're pleased with the recent sound development of Sino-US relations, ... We both believe it's the common aspiration of the two peoples to maintain sustained, healthy and stable development of bilateral ties.

Michael Farr

The post-Labor Day rally, I wasn't sold on. The fact that we didn't really crash over summer, I thought was a terrific blessing. I think sentiment is going to drive the market from here. The numbers are there, the numbers have not changed. The economy has not changed, it is still good, slowing down a little bit. We've got a nice stable platform. Earnings for second quarter were fabulous. They ought to be pretty good, I think, coming in here to the third quarter.

Randy Smith

We are pretty excited about the Black Pine study. We have seen a steady decrease in deer numbers in the area. While mule deer numbers to the west and east have increased over the past few years, the Black Pine mule deer herd has remained stable or declined.

Joe Miller

We are at crisis point. I think anybody that sees this nation as being on stable economic or fiscal ground is fooling themselves.

Gary DiCamillo

We remain on plan to begin rolling out a number of new products, including our instant single-use camera in the second half of 1998. We are confident that 1999 will be one of the company's strongest in recent years.

James Cameron

We're so scared of piracy right now that we're ready to pimp out our mothers. This whole day-and-date DVD release nonsense?

Freddy Sanchez

What he needed to do was to work harder than the normal person just to get back to where he needed to be. This is probably the strongest I've ever seen him.

Glenn Tilton

United has the most committed employees and strongest airline franchise in the world. We will not let it fail. We look forward to working with you to implement the coalition framework,

Dave Clement

Very few people could ever make a commitment to do what John did. He set a goal after he was done playing football that he wanted to become the strongest man in the world. He worked hard enough to do that.

Scott Hoyt

Year over year, the data shows, this will be the strongest holiday season since 1999. But because consumers have been spending since September, there's not much pent-up demand. Consumers have already spent up demand.

Jim Scherr

We feel that this is, without question, the most accomplished team and perhaps the strongest team that we've placed on the field of play in an Olympic Winter Games. Our expectations are very high.

Estelle

The people who have the strongest opinion about everything have never left their city, their town, haven't left their 'hood, haven't left their area, their corner of the world. They don't read. They've never left their house.
