Curt Hecker

We appreciate the concerns for adequate downtown parking. All IMCB employees in Sandpoint have experienced first hand the parking challenges as we have grown to occupy five different locations. Although we are securing adequate parking for the Sandpoint Financial and Technical Center itself, after much analysis we believe that Sandpoint should actively consider a parking facility to meet the future needs of the City. Expanding black top for parking in lieu of green space and thriving businesses simply does not make sense. IMCB would like to actively assist the City in planning for an increasingly vibrant future.

Mike Workman

What we're running into is that teams are really preparing for her. That brings added pressure on her, but on the upside it's made her a better player.

Ryan Rosenberg

Dick Cheney

What we're hearing from the other side is the failed thinking of the past, and we're not going back.

Mike Cassidy

When we came to work here we came with a mission. We wanted to shine light in dark corners and make the world a better place. We wanted to expose corruption.

Thomas Doll

We failed to score the third goal and they played all-or-nothing. Maybe we were scared a goal would slip in there somehow.

Chinua Achebe

The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership,

Chi Chi Rodriguez

Failure means that you would not, or could not, pay for success. Success is a matter of sale. It can (most often) be bought by a large outlay--of hard forethought--of pains--of steadiness--of the golden wisdom coined from experience. But the figure is too high for most of us. We are too poor, or too slothful, to bring the price.

Charles Horton Cooley

An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.

Adam Ereli

When I was in government it was routine for these CIO agents and their factional counterparts in government and ZANU PF politicians to abuse me as a scapegoat for anything they were unable to explain or defend.

Jim Hall

When I was in government I always paid close attention to whistleblowers. While sometimes people consider them a thorn in the side, many times they're very conscientious individuals who are trying to do their job.

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.

Will Self

If the government announced that it was going to allocate a vast tranche of education funding purely to the pupils at the best public schools, there would be a national outcry - and yet this is precisely what the Olympics represents in terms of sports funding.

Everybody has parts of themselves that they're not 100% happy with - that's what makes you human. And being an actor, your job is to play human beings. Your job is to play real people.

Katie Lowes

To have an opportunity to get in front of a camera every single day is just priceless because it gets you closer and closer to being less self-consciousness in front of it and really being human and really making choices and standing by them.

Michael Leunig

What a magical thing is the bed, and what a vulnerable, innocent creature is the sleeping human - the human who never looks more truthful or pitiful or benign; the curled-up, childlike dreaming soul who has for a few hours become an angel adrift.

Antonio Villaraigosa

What a great actor and what a committed human being, ... For years, he's used his fame for the purpose of developing new talent and providing positive role models for Latinos.

Bill Riley

Working with local police to target these individuals and get them off the streets means that Allentown and Bethlehem are safer communities today. These criminals should not be allowed to continue preying on innocent residents. ICE can offer great assistance to local police by removing these deportable aliens from the community.

Bill Thomas

We feel that he is making a very, very serious mistake in this case, that there are innocent young men whose lives can be ruined if they are charged in this case.

Chris Asplen

This backlog affects not just the ability to identify and convict the guilty, but it also affects our ability to identify the innocent.

Charlotte Lennox

When a person is found less guilty than he is suspected, he is concluded more innocent than he really is.

Charles Baudelaire

Life swarms with innocent monsters.

Charles Edward Montague

Patriotism has served, at different times, as widely different ends as a razor, which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.

Bethany McLean

the powerful lesson from Enron for me is the power of self delusion and how people rationalise and deceive themselves. And I think when Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling say they are innocent now, as they do with their trial approaching in early 2006, they mean it on a certain level. One smart financial observer said to me that he's never met the CEO of a fraudulent company who didn't come to believe in what he'd created.

Ricardo Sanchez

What we're seeing here is clearly a continued attempt and a more concentrated effort by the enemy to try to get all the Iraqis that are cooperating with the coalition to break away and not provide us that support that is so crucial to getting to economic progress and the transition to sovereignty,

Susan Hampton

We're doing better here. The Iraqi Army is playing a bigger role.

John Spratt

With no other security forces on hand, U.S. military was left to confront, almost alone, an Iraqi insurgency and a crime rate that grew worse throughout the year, waged in part by soldiers of the disbanded army and in part by criminals who were released from prison.

Maajid Nawaz

America did not invade Iraq because Iraqis are Muslims. Oil, money, economic interests. Who knows? But it was not because Iraqis are Muslims.

Reg Keys

The people who will be his judge is not God, it will be the families of the bereaved British soldiers and it will be the families of the bereaved innocent Iraqis who have all been slaughtered in this totally unnecessary conflict.

Bakhtiar Amin

We believe that more than half of the Iraqi population have someone who is missing in their family,

Michael Franti

I took a trip in 2004, a year after the war started in Iraq. I played music on the streets of Baghdad for Iraqi civilians. I'd also play for U.S. soldiers at night when they were off duty in the bars. Then I would talk to people, and I would film them and ask them about their life and the conflict.

Richard Bergenheim

We appreciate the wide ranging efforts being made by Iraqi and US officials to secure Jill's release. We hope that today's encouraging statements about Jill's condition and prospects for safe return are proved correct.

Donald Rumsfeld

would signal the Iraqi regime that they can continue their violations of the U.N. resolutions.

William Daley

We've asked the lawyers to work overnight to draft some documents, and we'll be back in the morning.

Mike Rothman

We've asked the city to comply with the state law and provide MRI with this 180-day procedure and because they have not, we have filed this suit on behalf of MRI.

Bill Brooks

We've always tried to enforce the law that no one from a foreign country can cross except at an official crossing. We've had to be a lot more strict since 9/11.

John Bacon

When it comes down to it the city made the law and they need look at it how it's affecting college students in a negative, they're being put out on the street.

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.

Geno Zamora

Tom said people in our country should not live like this. We filed law suits in Dona Ana County and it worked for two reasons. The developers knew they would be held accountable and there was some serious reform of the New Mexico Subdivision Act.

David Ramsay

We're making sure that what we are doing here today is now in law.

Darren Shaw

We remain unconvinced that an acquirer would be interested in buying/merging with Hanson, unless the asbestos liabilities were capped in law. We continue to believe that the probability of asbestos reform becoming law in 2006 is extremely thin.

Richard Natonski

We respect the law of war, unlike our adversary, who uses mosques,

Casey Pace

We're hoping, of course, it's going to be fairly minimal since a lot of that fruit had already been picked.

China Mieville

I'll never be a minimalist. The fact that the prose is more tightly controlled doesn't for a minute mean that it's minimalist. I very much like arcane words and baroque sentence structure.

Peter Lilley

The possibility of you being able to successfully launder 50 million pounds in Britain is fairly minimal unless you literally break it up into trenches of 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 or something like that.

Michael Kashtock

We believe that these steps will further reduce an already minimal risk in lead exposure in candy.

John Updike

To guarantee the individual maximum freedom within a social frame of minimal laws ensures - if not happiness - its hopeful pursuit.

Tempestt Bledsoe

I have personal issues with clutter. I, personally, am very minimalist and like a clean slate. I like to throw everything away.

Skip Bertman

This was as minimal an amount as I could do to make us compete at very high levels. This is the best five years in this school's athletic history, not just in the wins by the football team but certainly in academics.

Khloe Kardashian

When in doubt, I always, always buy clear vases. You really can't go wrong with minimalist clear vases, especially when you're sending someone flowers. The flowers are the star of the show and need to shine!

Jeff Nobers

We are hoping for at least 200,000 and those are our minimal expectations.

Mark Fredrickson

We've always had a policy of qualifying and buying the very best technology that we can put in our systems. We intend to continue to buy disk drives from IBM, contingent on their ability to meet our standards.

Linda Lightfoot

When we were dealing with the paper world and you were allowed to see the file, you could view the ideas that went into policy development. E-mail is very easy to be lost, and it is a lot more difficult to follow.

David Kendall

We respectfully object to the committee's broad request for all information concerning all persons who have contributed or pledged more than $5,000 to the foundation. There are serious and substantial legal, precedential and public policy issues raised by this catch-all request.

Richard Costigan

We're somewhat disappointed. We've been working with the Legislature all year on a great policy bill. ... We really worked up until the 11th hour.

Dan McLagan

We're going to see all kind of things going around as people more intent on playing politics than making policy enter the fray.

Marc Levesque

What we're seeing in terms of currency movements - and it will probably continue at least over the near-term - is a shift in global monetary policy expectations. There's a gearing-down of expectations for Fed tightening, coupled with increased tightening expectations elsewhere.

Mayor Mazzarella

We would try to block the auction if they try to sell the license. It's city policy that we do that. The license is for the business that you give it to.

Bill Reinsch

We would probably say it's a mistake. You get kind of short-term satisfaction on the part of the university, but in the long run, you mostly hurt poor people. ... Basically, there's a negative economic impact on the poorest people, and it doesn't affect government policy or the people running the government.

Craig Holman

What he's doing here is frankly astonishing. This kind of coordination is obviously an attempt to get around legal contribution limits. The bottom line is that public policy is being made not by principle, but by payment up front.

David Kang

We remain concerned about the company's ability to stem the continued decline in profitability and credit protection measures.

Maret Traber

What this and other studies like it are showing is that the protection we get from proper diet or supplements often comes from combinations of nutrients working together. This has implications not only for smokers but also for many other people.

Fernando Lopez

We're just trying to take care of each other and we want to have children and raise a family and it's very difficult to have without the rights and protection that comes along with marriage.

Peggy Furusaka

Unless some sort of financial support, capital injection or business tie-up materializes, we expect Sanyo's spread in the cash bond and protection premium in the CDS markets to stay wide.

Jim Young

Union Pacific is committed to the development and use of new technologies to preserve the environment for future generations. Environmental protection is a primary management responsibility as well as the responsibility of every Union Pacific employee.

Brett Myroff

With the introduction of the new Intel-based products it's important for companies to use the same version of Sophos Anti-Virus regardless of the type of Macs being used. Through its latest software for Mac OS X, Sophos continues to offer the highest level of virus protection to all Mac users.

Steve Spurrier

We're not a great passing team because our quarterback is not a scrambler and our protection is pretty good, not super, so we have to pick our spots, we just can't fire it 35, 40 times or something bad is going to happen,

Pat Camden

We're being told there's an order of protection in place, and as I said, it's an ongoing domestic situation.

Alan Greenspan

Regulation - which is based on force and fear - undermines the moral base of business dealings. It becomes cheaper to bribe a building inspector than to meet his standards of construction. Protection of the consumer by regulation is thus illusory.

Mike Rothman

We've asked the city to comply with the state law and provide MRI with this 180-day procedure and because they have not, we have filed this suit on behalf of MRI.

Jim Grant

We've asked departments in the last two years to trim back and be as frugal as possible so we'd have the dollars to provide the services we need to provide.

Jeff Bentoff

We've always been willing to meet, but they won't provide information that we have requested.

Nick Montepara

When we were thinking this through, the emphasis was on what solutions we could enable that would allow us to provide our customers with greater convenience and greater comfort when they?re shopping our stores. We spent a lot of time working with the various businesses before we even touched the technology because I felt it was important not to get confused by any preconceived limitations of what technology can do.

The Vikings

When we were 1-2 after the Providence game, our players that following week re-dedicated themselves, ... You don't get better on Friday, you get better on Monday through Thursday, and that's what these guys have done.

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.

Steve Hill

We're making this investment because Verified is not only first, but the only private provider of Registered Traveler services. So far the program has been very successful.

Chuck Mulloy

We're making changes to our roadmap for processors in 2001 in order to provide some additional memory options for the low-cost platform for Pentium 4-based systems for the mainstream market.

Leon Brittan

We remain ready to cooperate with the U.S. (officials) in accelerating a (WTO) panel provided that they make clear that they are abandoning the unilateral route and respect the rules and procedures of the WTO,

Billy Hunter

We remain convinced that the NBA does not have the right to unilaterally create new ways to punish teams that want to improve by spending on player salaries. The effect of this decision is to continue to undermine player confidence in the NBA's administration of our collective bargaining agreement.

Donald Fehr

We believe very strongly that the purpose of penalties ought to be to deter, not to punish for its own sake.

John Sullivan

With the meltdown of the Net and the rise in unemployment, we'll see a return to punishing job hoppers. That's mostly because when the power shifts back to human resources, HR people with no power seem to get off on deciding what is acceptable,

John Ellinger

We feel -- and probably Chivas feels the same way too -- you definitely get punished for your mistakes. Good teams make the ball bounce their way and sometimes we get frustrated with it not happening for us. We've had a couple games where we've said, 'Nothing bad is going to happen, we're going to make our own breaks,' but to actually say that and then play that way, it doesn't always work out.

Doug Smith

We reject violence to punish anyone who harms us.

Chinua Achebe

If the clan did not exact punishment for an offense against the great goddess, her wrath was loosed on all the land and not just on the offender. As the elders said, if one finger brought oil it soiled all the others.

Charlize Theron

Countries and states which have capital punishment have a much higher rate of murder and crime than countries that do not, so that makes sense to me, and the moral question - I struggle with it morally.

Chanakya

Punishment when awarded with due consideration, makes the people devoted to righteousness and to works productive of wealth and enjoyment.

Chanakya

Whoever imposes severe punishment becomes repulsive to the people; while he who awards mild punishment becomes contemptible. But whoever imposes punishment as deserved becomes respectable. For punishment when awarded with due consideration, makes the people devoted to righteousness and to works productive of wealth and enjoyment; while punishment, when ill-awarded under the influence of greed and anger or owing to ignorance, excites fury even among hermits and ascetics dwelling in forests, not to speak of householders.

William Shakespeare

I have pursued her, as love hath pursued me

Mitchell Baker

There are dancers and painters and writers who pursued that whether or not they are paid for it. There are a lot of technologists who are the same.

Liane Balaban

I thought I'd be a journalist, and only pursued acting intermittently while studying. My very first interview as a journalist was with David Usher of Moist, and he called the magazine the next day to say it was the best interview he'd done for his solo album. I felt like a million euros.

Armand Assante

I never pursued a career relentlessly

Jessica D'Onofrio

Police pursued the vehicle, which had its lights flashing and sirens blaring.

Wendy Tellone

I wouldn't have pursued this if I didn't believe strongly that I had no choice.

Dick Baddour

I would have pursued Roy Williams all out because he's a great coach. But knowing his love for Kansas, I think the only way we had a shot is because he was a North Carolina grad.

Thomas P.M. Barnett

China's headlong rush to industrialize was pursued with the most Marxist of prejudices - bending nature to man's will. That's a desperately hard trick to pull off when one fifth of humanity, having previously subsisted on 7 percent of the world's freshwater supply, decides that it wants to instantaneously increase its caloric intake.

Sharon Stone

I really get pursued by men in their 20s, like, a lot. They probably know there's food in the fridge and that somebody's going to talk to them and ask them how their day was.

John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

Oscar Michelen

You don't lose all your rights in prison.

Nicholas Burns

We remind the Burundi government and security forces that respect for human rights and peaceful dialogue should be key elements in their efforts to re-establish security in the country.

Clare Short

We remain concerned that refugees in Macedonia are being forced onto planes and buses. This is unacceptable. We understand Macedonian concerns and will provide support to Macedonia, provided it complies with international rights and norms in its treatment of refugees.

Larry Krantz

We respect the rights of Texans to have fun. But people need to realize that everyone pays when the state has to constantly stop what it's doing to repair this kind of damage. It takes away from our other responsibilities like building and maintaining roadways.

Greg Hand

We respect the rights of people to express their opinions. We ask that while they express those opinions they behave themselves.

Abby Ottenhoff

We respect the pharmacists' rights to hold personal, moral, religious beliefs, but they can't allow those beliefs to get in the way of serving their customers.

Tony Ross

We respect our employees rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining and we respect all the rules and regulations in all the jurisdictions that we operate.

Lysander Spooner

To say that majorities, as such, have a right to rule minorities, is equivalent to saying that minorities have, and ought to have, no rights, except such as majorities please to allow them.

Bill Belichick

We've always tried to coach and abide by the NFL rules, whatever they are,

Jerry Sloan

We've always had a rule in the last second or so: get next to your man. We weren't even close to the guy.

Eric Osmer

When it comes down to it, a rule is a rule. I messed up. But, in a way I'm kind of glad it's all over. There is a sense of closure. We can move on.

Debbie Ryan

We're mired in a slump right now and we're digging a pretty deep hole. And the first rule of holes is to stop digging. But that's all we keep doing right now is keep digging and digging and digging.

Leon Brittan

We remain ready to cooperate with the U.S. (officials) in accelerating a (WTO) panel provided that they make clear that they are abandoning the unilateral route and respect the rules and procedures of the WTO,

Ariel Sharon

We respect them (the Palestinians) and have no aspirations to rule over them. They are also entitled to freedom and to a national sovereign existence in a state of their own,

Tony Ross
