Drive Quotations | Page 4

When I came into the sport, rookies didn't drive good race cars. You drove junk. Rookies don't step in driving junk anymore. They step in driving top cars because there is no junk. They step in driving really, really good stuff.

When I began to drive Formula I in the 1970's, the odds of surviving was 7 to 1. Incredible high risks. The odds of surviving now are like 800 to one.

When I became mayor of New York City, I had a $2.4 billion deficit. And everybody wanted me to raise taxes. I said, 'If I raise taxes, I'll drive people out of New York City, and then I'll be raising taxes again.' So what I did was I cut expenses by 15 percent.

When the name is a punch line in a Saturday Night Live skit, you got problems, ... I drive a Dodge Stratus!

When the idea came up to drive in the DP with Pat I was thrilled. I am just elated that Porsche has looked at the big picture and realized this is a great experience for me. And I am very grateful to Pat for the experience. This is my first time driving in any kind of prototype. I'm looking forward to learning this weekend as much as I am having fun. Both Pat and I are going to take a calm, methodical approach and just soak it all up and enjoy the experience. Obviously, with my single-seater and karting background, I've been itching to get back into one of these types of racecars. So it will rekindle some of the emotion of a fast, stiff racecar. But, my main objective is to win with Porsche in the GT classes.

We needed another play. I thought the fourth-down drive was like a turnover. But we didn't get any turnovers in the game and that was the difference.

The only option a driver has is to literally not do it. If he (crew chief) says, 'Pit,' you drive by and say, 'I didn't hear you, what'd you say, come back.' And that's happened, and sometimes you wish you hadn't done that. Other times it works out.

The price of gas will be a concern this year, and I think that the drive market has shrunk because of that. Nowadays, people are traveling within a 400-mile radius, rather than a 700-mile radius.

The price of gas is our most immediate problem, ... We pretty well know that it could drive up the costs on everything including building materials.

The price of fuel right now is affecting us just like it affects every other American, ... It affects our teams, fans and all of us who drive cars to and from work.

When Wal-Mart and McDonald's start selling organic food, it will drive down the price to farmers and risk growing a new monoculture.

When things aren't going great for us we sucked it up and continued to push forward. That's what it's all about in this league. If things aren't going great for you on the floor, continue to be confident in yourself and keep forcing the issue. If we want to be a successful team on a night-to-night basis we have to drive to the basket, make plays for each other and make defensive stops.

When the stock market drops, you don't necessarily notice it at the gas pump, ... The price of oil will drive the market as far as sentiment goes, but it's not necessarily correlated in terms of performance.

We want to make sure we've got the managerial depth to drive the company forward,

The plans and the policies that are set out are generally in the right direction but where we have been less successful is being able to drive through the implementation.

The pitch was up a little bit. Make a better pitch with the changeup down, it's going to be hard to drive it that far. Randy had a great night. It seemed to keep going and keep going and keep going. One of those things. He got good wood on it.

There are other centers in the Valley, but we're different because we are the only full-service reproductive center, ... Out patients don't have to drive to Cleveland or Pittsburgh for anything, we can do it all here. It's especially nice with our bad winters.

There are two key challenges to the U.S. market: one is Fed policy -- and it's still our concern that the Fed will be increasing rates this side of Christmas; secondly, it's the slowing corporate earnings outlook. Although corporate earnings are still probably going to rise, I think there's a concern that numbers may come in below consensus and drive the markets down.

There are lots of questions whether this (pension overhaul effort) will help shore up funding in pension plans, or if some of the reforms are so expensive they'll drive companies out of the system.

We made a lot of mistakes that cost us the game. Defensively, it was probably the strongest outing I've ever seen us have. They did not drive the field once except for a field goal. The tape doesn't lie.

Like all alcoholics, I would start New Year's Eve promising to control how much I drank. In the morning, I'd wake up hoping to God I hadn't hurt anyone on the drive home. It's the hardest time of year for recovering substance abusers because you're surrounded by overindulgence -- it's impossible to escape, and there's little empathy for those who have struggled with addiction.

Like I said, I think a coach is as good as the players he has. You do have to drive them. You've got to make sure to put them in the right situations. And we have a group that's very committed as far as what we're doing.

Letting them take the opening drive right down against us wasn't very encouraging. We responded. We had some guys make plays ... (but) we just didn't play very well.

Luke's number will be called in situations like that. He showed a lot of character to drive the length of the floor and score.

Makes you feel like Elwood out of the movies. Just a dream come true to be able to have this thing, and be able to drive it around and watch people enjoy it.

Life has enough challenges, and getting insurance shouldn't be one of them. Whether a family buys a bigger house, lets their 16-year-old drive a car or needs some personal liability coverage, our goal is to provide the right products at the best possible prices. Dimensions auto and homeowners insurance is all about meeting life's changes.

Let the market work. Competition will drive investment.

License plate recognition systems don't create congestion. For small states like Connecticut, where people can easily drive through without having to buy gas, drivers are essentially using the state's roads for free. Tolls are an effective way to collect money from them.

Low-cost, high-grade coal, oil and natural gas - the backbone of the Industrial Revolution - will be a distant memory by 2050. Much higher-cost remnants will still be available, but they will not be able to drive our growth, our population and, most critically, our food supply as before.

Losing your ability to drive is one of the toughest things. It tells us we're not healthy, we're not young, we're not capable.

Louisiana has sacrificed its coastline so those people in North Dakota can have fuel oil, so they can drive their vehicles.

Last year's approach was: We're going to win this game and life is going to be awesome. Then what happened? We couldn't drive the ball and our heads go in the tank. That will not be the case this time. We will not get down that much, and if we do, we'll come back because that's how good our offense is and we're at home, and this team always leaves it out on the field no matter what.

Leaving the floor with a 31-30 halftime lead was big for us. We seemed to loosen up after that. We were patient offensively and that helped. We were able to cut and drive toward the basket. That freed up the perimeter.

Let's drive the message home: we need health insurance reform, we need a strong public option, and we won't settle for less.

Let's continue to impress customers and partners with our innovation, and drive satisfaction to levels we've never achieved before. Let's also stay focused on our priorities as we make this transition and align our organization for the future.

Learning to drive and being distracted is a recipe for disaster.

Learning how to drive while distracted is definitely a recipe for disaster.

Many of our senior citizens don't drive anymore and don't have children and it would be a problem for them.

So look for him to come up with something. I know in Minnesota, Jacques is trying to do the same thing. It's interesting to see what's going to work. We're going to have to work in a lot of systems to try to counteract no red line. It's probably going to drive me out of my mind, but they're going to have to find something to counter long-ice passes and guys cheating through centre ice.

So I said to myself, if I was going to drive two hours, I might as well go home and see my mother and the rest of the family.

She's strong, very muscular. She has a good start. She has a drive for it. She works hard.

She was holding me off very well. I finally decided to surge past her and drive the rest of the way. I want to get around 2:10.

She's a very good pitcher. We tried to go with the pitch wherever she was throwing it. Coach wanted us to get on top of the ball and drive it.

She's a player that has been able to do it all. She plays tremendous defense. She handles the ball as well as any guard I've seen in this county. And she doesn't have a fear. She's going to drive in. She's going to the basket. She's quick as a cat. She has tremendous touch on the ball. She has tremendous reach with her arms. And she is quick on her feet.

She's been in a little bit of a funk lately, so it's nice to see her drive the ball.

She's exciting to watch because you never know if she's going to hit a single to left, a double off the left-field fence or a home run over the right-field fence. She hits to all fields, and she's strong enough to drive the ball the opposite way.

She's one of the best players in the country. You look at her and think she's like 5-foot or 5-2, I can block her shot. But she's got a lot of heart. She can hit the 3 ... and she's so quick and she's got a great handle with the ball. She can drive inside the 3, and she's looking to pass too.

Some customers prefer the electric drive train. This gives Caterpillar that option for them.

With Customer Adaptive Solutions -- and everything they represent -- the company is laying out a new vision for customer facing applications that are more flexible and better able to accommodate customer input. This will enable Siebel users to be more responsive to customers and enable the kind of customer centric processes that drive loyalty and, ultimately, repeat business.

Short term events like this which are unpredictable can drive a high price floor for crude prices. That is why we are seeing pricing in the high 50s even though the market is well supplied.

She got a ball to drive and she didn't miss it. Our offense comes in spurts, we did nothing for the first three innings and then exploded.

She can shoot threes and drive to the basket.

She can shoot the three, she's strong inside and she likes to drive from the elbow.

She can shoot. Sarah likes to distribute the ball and get other people to do. But when she's open, she can drive and has the pull up ability. I'm glad she got to show that today.

She can drive you crazy with that desire to be a perfect athlete.

She could really drive a car - all over Europe, through police barricades in Hungary.

She has been just hot; she has been swinging a great bat. When we went to Boise, she hit line drive after line drive after line drive.

She asked me if she could show bunt and then swing it, and I said, 'I don't care, as long as you put it in play. Do whatever you've got to do,' ... She kept doing that and she hit a good line drive to right.

She (Arroyo) should have consulted the families of victims of heinous crimes. Definitely this will affect the drive against criminality.

(Sheets) was good but we have to win these games. We just didn't drive in the runs when we needed them.

She dominated. She killed us from inside and from the free throw line. We couldn't drive the ball, and the one thing that kills us is when get unbalanced in our scoring. Amanda was proving us with a lot of points in the first half, but when they shut her down in the second, we didn't have anyone there to pick up the slack.

Sirens and everything. Usually the drive takes half an hour at least. With the escort it was about 10 minutes.

Since only three percent of online shoppers begin their process at a dealership website, Search Engine Marketing is among the most efficient and effective ways for dealerships to build traffic for their website. However, it is also among the most complex forms of advertising to manage, with vastly different results in terms of cost and traffic volume. We are excited to offer dealers this new service which will give them the power of our bid management software and search expertise, in order to drive the best results at the lowest cost.

She is one of the strongest girls I've ever met and when she connects on a ball, it has a tendency to go a long way. She fractured a finger a couple of weeks ago and has been hampered by that, so it was nice to see her come back and drive the ball like she can.

She is still going strong today and continues to drive herself and any passengers who care to come along, ... In all that time and mileage, she has been involved in only one at-fault accident. As I imagine you've already surmised, she pulled out in front a vehicle that had a turn signal flashing. Bang!

She made the plays when she had to make them whether we were keeping her in check or not. And that's what big-time players do in big games. Whether it's an assist, a foul shot, an outside shot, a drive to the hole, a steal - and she did that four times.

MSL is like a chemist on Mars. From a technological point of view, people will be fairly amazed by both the size and the capability of MSL. It will certainly be able to drive circles around MER to a certain extent. Not speed wise. But from how long MSL can go every day...it will be able to do much more.

Motorola is the global leader in delivering Bluetooth accessories for the cellular market therefore it is natural for us to drive the capability across all tiers of our broad handset portfolio. The SLVR L2 and V195 are perfect products for enterprise consumers who want the convenience of Bluetooth, a great feature set, and outstanding design at an affordable price.

Motorola didn't have additional strategic technology to sell to auto makers. That left them selling components without any other solutions to drive additional value and create price protection.

McCartney and the Stones alone really helped drive up ticket prices.

Men we drive ourselves crazy. Men always want to marry a virgin, but during the act of sex on the wedding night we tell the women to say 'you're the best, you're the best', then afterwards we wonder better than who?

Median home prices within the district are high for a rural community, reflecting the district's attractiveness to buyers of second homes and telecommuters. Residents of the largest town also have access to job centers in the Fresno region, albeit via a one-hour drive to the south. Separately, the district recently lost about a third of its students and will lose about a third of its tax base in fiscal 2007 due to an annexation vote that removed a portion of the district's far southwest territory. This has been incorporated into the rating and we expect continued property turnover and new construction will translate into a growing property tax base within the school's new boundaries.

My level of respect for him just took a whole different level, to make that trip and then drive back and then practice and then play today and then fight in a rival game.

My first season at Buffalo, Geoff was at Rochester and I would come down from Buffalo to visit him all the time. It was 50 minutes away. I'd drive up and we'd go to dinner.

No one has ever done this before. We think it will be a huge market and we think it will help drive database growth for years to come.
