Hall Quotations | Page 4

The 17 students sitting in Madison Hall are not sitting for arrest. We're demanding a living wage; we're not demanding to get arrested.

That was pretty disappointing for everybody involved. Hall of Fame Racing doesn't even own a carburetor. It was just a mistake, a mistake that never should have happened, but it did. It was the first time I've ever been penalized and had points taken away. It was surprising for all of us.

That was one of the things that James Taylor said about us when he inducted us into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; that this was a real working band. It's very obvious when people come down to see the show tonight, they'll understand that this band has been getting along better personally and musically for the past couple of years and we're flying.

I would love to see it in the Hall of Fame, display it somewhere where everybody can see it, because it's about the ultimate memorabilia piece you could own.

Most of the people in the Hall are on a different level from me,

You don't even have to say a player is going to the Hall of Fame anymore; you can just say he's going to Canton and everybody knows what you mean,

Whoever gets him is going to get not only a tremendous player but a fantastic kid. In my opinion, he has Hall of Fame talent.

White Hall played a great game. I just wish we could have responded differently. We just laid down, that's not taking anything away from White Hall.

We really abide by the federal guidelines that students' work-study jobs should be meaningful, worthwhile positions for them from an academic perspective, ... We've never really felt that dining hall jobs have served them in an academic way.

We realized Seton Hall was playing for a tourney bid, and they had a lot to gain from tonight. They were working hard and we didn't match their intensity for 40 minutes.

Wellington Mara was a dear friend and football fans everywhere mourn his passing. Throughout my tenure as an NFL owner he was an invaluable advisor in person and in our many phone calls. As a Hall of Fame owner and backbone of the League, he shaped the sport we all love so dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this sad time.

We put in a library, a dining room a drawing room and a bedroom, and a nice center hall which sort of leads off to all these spaces.

We're blessed that God dropped her into Alumni Hall one day.

We even have some of the boys peeking over the fence watching our games. That did not used to happen. We kind of got their attention. Everybody knows about the baseball program. We're trying to establish that respect for our softball program. Support has been tremendous. What's neat is that some kids are stopping me in the hall and telling me they are coming out for softball next year.

We don't get money from the state funds to cover the resident hall operations. We are funded by the room and board fees.

We have a Hall of Fame coach so I guess that goes along with it. Thirty wins in 11 out of 13 years ... those are Hall of Fame numbers.

We have a lot of irons in the fire, and until some major projects get taken care of, City Hall will have to do where it is. I would like to find a way to lower the tax levy (rate) before we take on that project. No land has been purchased and I personally don't see that happening in the very near future.

We've got one championship, but the kids understand no one will remember that if we're beat by Frankfort. We have four championships we want to win. The first one was the Hall of Fame. The second is the conference. The third is the sectional, then we want to win state.

We've moved the maintenance and city hall stuff into one building. We're moving the police department into our old building, so everything will be close.

We could hear Davidson down the hall partying and yelling and screaming. I think he wanted it to light a fire under us. ... The seniors just wanted to make sure this wasn't the last time we all played together, the last time this team was going to be together. And we made that point to each other.

Well, Price, that was the school for black kids in Salisbury, when the white students went to Boyden. Hall Gym was their gym.

To make a hall of fame successful they need drivers to make appearances. These guys are not going to get in an airplane to fly to Atlanta to do appearances.

Today's mobile lifestyle requires busy professionals to stay connected and productive throughout the day regardless of location. Our customers can now enjoy high-performance computing whether at their desks, visiting a client or giving a presentation down the hall -- even when disconnected from a power outlet for many hours.

We know their stories on the field. We know why they're legends, why they're in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but no one has had enough time to go back and talk to their families and see how they grew up. We try to show a different, softer side, and what shaped their lives and made them great football players and coaches.

We are committed to providing our fans the opportunity to share a piece of Cardinals history and we are very proud to offer with the help of our Hall of Fame Players this truly unique, limited edition collectable.

Those Hall of Fame jockeys, they all worked really hard to get where they got. What we younger riders have to do is persevere to follow in their footsteps.

You do not get groups of people marching on city hall saying 'protect me from the earthquake.'

You have to appreciate it. We probably won't right now because of our age, but later on after we get out of college and done with basketball, the history books will come on ESPN and Coach Williams and the Hall of Fame and what happened, and we were involved in that.

To go into the Hall of Fame, it continues the legacy of the Dallas Cowboys.

To be voted into the Hall of Fame would be the crown jewel of my career. When I look back at what I overcame and what I was able to accomplish, it would be extra special.

We still don't know why this was done. Obviously anyone who blows himself up in a wedding hall is not someone who wants the good of his country or the good of any human being.

We are just north of the Theater District, just east of the Galleria. We are only a few blocks from the lake from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Time will tell (how great it was), but this season not only established our high school as a legitimate football program in Hall County and the region, but people in the state have started talking about Flowery Branch football. Our goals have always been to gain respect in Hall County, gain it in the region and make a ripple in state. And this year we did that.

You don't really realize you're playing with a Hall of Fame running back until it comes to the end. But for all he has done for this organization, the city of Pittsburgh, he epitomizes what the Pittsburgh Steelers are all about, a class act on and off the field. I don't even think he realizes how much of a role model he is. Guys just feed off him as far as how he handles situations, how he approaches each and every Sunday, how he approaches practice each and every day.

You don't project yourself in the Hall of Fame as a player. It's only during that five-year period where people start asking about it, and it doesn't seem real until it happens.

You don't often get a chance to work side-by-side with someone who's already in the Hall of Fame.

We didn't have a phone when I was a kid, and I was too shy to smash any public phones, and our town didn't have a pool hall either, so I had to hang out at the public library - and anyway, I told myself stories.

We're trying to incorporate student control by students. They can take care of the small disciplinary actions. Next year we'll try to work out a hall monitoring system and maybe even work at school sports events.

We have found that there is no one style of residence hall that is perfect for every student. That's why having the variety of styles that we have on this campus is such a good thing. We know that some students value location and closeness to dining facilities while others consider privacy more important.

When I was growing up, Belfast City Hall was surrounded by security, and we had no access to it. But now, people come in and out of it all the time. On a nice day, office workers and students sit on the lawn outside and have lunch. It's great to see how Northern Ireland has changed. To be part of that is fantastic.

When people ask, 'So what do you do in Charlotte?' the hall of fame will help us answer that question.

We will definitely earn it this year, not that we didn't in the past. But with this team and some of the teams left we could face, they could put their stamp on things as far as East Hall basketball history goes if they can win it all.

This whole tour has been like a family-based thing, ... You can't walk down the hall without saying hi to everybody and talking. It's been our first summer tour, and it's been beautiful.

This summer I actually had the opportunity to play at Royal Albert Hall in London with my band, Bobby McFerrin and The African Children's Choir. There were over 6,000 people sitting in the audience with another 900 people standing. It was the most exciting experience, just totally amazing.

The record company is happy because they feel they have things that they can play. I'm happy because I feel I have enough records to bump in the street and in the dance hall with the reggae, so I'm cool with that.

Whenever George has something to say, we're very interested in it. Because he's the only coach around here who's going to be in the Hall of Fame. So, why wouldn't we listen to him?

When I see Maurice on the sidelines, I see a little bit of Chuck Daly. If he can have that type of success, maybe the Hall of Fame could be next.

We thought it would be a little side gig. The fact that we've played Carnegie Hall is just beyond belief.

We think this new town hall is really a true civic building in the broadest sense of the word. We want it to be part of the life of the community. It's not going to close at 5.

We're not ready to get him (Lewis) in the Hall of Fame yet. But he has made a lot of progress and you can see him daily getting better.

We're not paying attention to any of that foolishness. What we're paying attention to is that we want Pops to get double-digit rebounds. I want J.R. to take better shots. I want (senior forward) Mike Hall to take control of this team defensively. I want (senior forward) Omar (Williams) to step it up and be more aggressive. We're not caring about being in the top 20. I want to make that clear.

To be recognized by the Hall of Fame committee is, to me, really rewarding. The high point of my athletic career was my four years at Brandeis.

To me, that's Hall of Fame, ... To know you had an impact on one person in this world. For them to give you so much credit when you hear young people tell you what you mean to their lives. That changed me as a person. Being around those kids at that young age helped me mature as a man. It kept me from all other distractions that could've knocked me off the path. They were saving me as much as I was saving them.

Thorpe was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in its first class. My grandfather was a footnote. Until today.

We got in, rolled up our sleeves. Now the finance department can add and subtract. The law department can write a contract. The building department can issue a permit do an inspection. City Hall works for our citizens,

We believe Gary Hall is key to this case . . . and we have a desperate need in this case to conduct our (pretrial) investigation.

We have seen other programs start Hall of Fame's and it was time. We have a rich tradition here and this is a good way to honor that.

To build a home or open a business, it's so frustrating because you have to go to so many different offices at City Hall and get run-around answers.

The players never think they project enough. In a hall that seats 3,300 people, it's a very scary thing to play so quietly that you can barely hear yourself.

When you get elected into the Hall of Fame, you get elected into a group of elite people who are the top of the top of the game at the professional level. Just to be standing here is an incredible honor for me.

When you go from one lecture hall to another or even home for the holidays, there is a desire to be connected, informed and entertained in transit.

What kind of citizens are we creating if we bring students up in an environment of constant surveillance? Schoolchildren for hundreds of years have done fine walking down the hall under the watchful eyes of teachers. There are so many educational demands and unmet needs, so you have to wonder if this is really the best use of limited resources.

Without leaving your home or business, you can join thousands of residents across the Great Lakes basin and beyond to participate in the Town Hall community, creating and amplifying the public voice on Great Lakes protection and policy.

When the door to the exhibit opened, it was quite something to watch 10 of these spectacular birds waddle down the hall and into their new home.

When we knew this game was coming we thought it would be something special, and it was. You have a Hall of Famer against a young pitcher who is something special. In 10-15 years we may look back at this game and say it was a Hall of Famer against a future Hall of Famer.

We will make a city hall that truly serves the people who live there.

The reason the renewal is of significance is the technology. We're going from a tape-based media to digital one. The tape will become obsolete. Someone can drag an icon on the computer in a drag and drop procedure, as opposed to what used to be go down the hall and get the tape.

Fifty-five million people, half the country, live within an easy day's drive to Richmond. There isn't a city competing for the NASCAR Hall of Fame that can come close to those numbers.

Few people travel from a long distance solely for one attraction or one part of an experience. I think the job here is to complement the Rock Hall with other venues that are also attractive. If the Rock Hall has not reached its peak yet, it's because we are not drawing enough to other venues.

Experience. You play it, day in and day out. You've got to do it on your own. It's the same thing Billy Hall went through two years ago. Look where he's at now. There's no quick fix.

The governor personally came here, assigned a dozen staff members to work the hall like it was a political convention and it squeaked by with 11 votes. Unless they're going to assign a dozen staff to every voter in California, I don't think Prop. 76 is sailing very high right now.

Until I win and prove myself, length doesn't get you the record, it doesn't get you in the Hall of Fame, doesn't get you anything.

You can't count out a guy who's been to that many Pro Bowls. He's a Hall of Famer, in my opinion. He's a big-time playmaker.

Well, I always knew that the best fighter would get into the hall of fame. There was no doubt in mind that I would get there. I really would rather get in there the right way and be happy once I get there because that means it's the end of your career and there are other things.

We almost thought there was no need to interview anyone else. When you have a Hall of Fame manager say, 'I really like this guy,' you listen.

To me, he's right up there with the top defensemen to ever play the game because he has done everything and adjusted to everything and did everything that was asked of him to win. I don't ever like to compare people, but all I can tell you is that there is no question that he will be in the Hall of Fame as soon as he is eligible.

To me, he's got Hall of Fame credentials. He's as competitive as anyone. You look at his last 10 years and he plays a lot, plays hurt, plays through just about everything. I think he's one of the best players on the club.

The (original) Hall Place Community Association is not going to roll over and not represent...the values of the people who live in the neighborhood,

There is no Ruth Eckerd Hall in Palm Harbor, so for a community like ours, libraries are serving as cultural centers. It's not just books and magazines. It's a whole cultural endeavor, and I hope people see the big picture.

We will be quick and I like the way these guys play. We played very well last year except for one game, where North Hall just took it to us. But as good as we were most of last year, I think this group could be even better this year.

This welcome announcement couldn't come too soon for all of Umatilla County, and our state in general. As we saw during the March fourth town hall on methamphetamine I hosted in Pendleton, Umatilla County has been put through the ringer in terms of drug manufacturing and trafficking, and this wave of activity crashes well beyond the County's borders. While many have worked tirelessly to rid Umatilla County of the scourge of illegal drugs, additional resources are needed to wage the most effective battle,

This weekend might be like root canal in the sense the way Seton Hall is playing right now. That's the first order of business.

This type of hall is not new to the country, even though it is to us. This is what students are expecting.

You may be aware that the AeA is predominantly a grassroots, member-driven organization. This past Fall, we held a series of town hall meetings around the country. Out of those meetings we bubbled up what were the major concerns of our member companies. I don't think you will find that there are any surprises here.

With how huge Yes was, especially in the '70s and '80s, as a touring band and actually playing at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia to 130,000 people, which is the biggest-paying show ever in rock history, you would think we'd done enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

With Hall & Oates, honestly, after years and years of playing the same material, it's easy to coast. I can coast through a show.

With Ruby being brand new, the small things are the most prominent problem. We feel a little more like landlords than residence hall staff right now with the number of complaints about faulty plugs and card readers.

You guys are going to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, ... What an honor.

When I was twelve, Uncle Randall looked up long enough to see that I was a reader as well, so he walked me down his hall to a linen-closet door and opened it up onto a wall of paperbacks. There were books behind books, as deep in as I could reach. He told me to take three, and when I was done, bring them back and take three more.

What was unique about me being in City Hall during the Giuliani Administration, I was the only one who wasn't an attorney. I may have been the only one who didn't work in a prosecutor's office. So I took a completely different point of view on how the city should be run. Very close to a business, very close on metrics and numbers.

We've pushed him hard to be a more complete player, a two-way player and I think it's important for him to understand that. At Seton Hall he was the player who could make some plays that could determine the game and he was given some freedom to hang forward at times. I'm not sure he'll fill that role here. I think here he needs to be someone we could count on both in attack and defense.

Through the years, I've watched teams like Oak Hall that didn't necessarily have the most athletic personnel still be able to play solid man-to-man. It made me start to think we should defend more along those lines. We started doing it more last year and had some growing pains, but we're playing it a lot better now.

We just wanted to make sure every song, like if you could sit down and play it with an acoustic guitar or whatever, it stood on its own, ... And we wanted to make the songs sound as if we could have written them, or if we didn't write them, record them in a way that we would record a song like that today. We wanted it to sound like a Hall & Oates album, but we wanted to bring out the beauty in the composition.

We weren't racking up the margins we needed in the Bull Run-Linton Hall area. In the areas where Kilgore should have been making up ground, he tied.

When I started playing the game of baseball, the more I played and the better numbers I got, the more I started thinking about the Hall of Fame. But I never thought I had a chance to be there.

we instinctively hear his voice and think he's going to walk down the hall at any moment, telling us to do that story or do this story or do it this way; he was such a force on this broadcast.

We are very disappointed that the Hall of Fame has turned down our offer, though we are not completely surprised. We understand and respect the Hall of Fame's position.

We're trying to get him in the NFL Hall now and that's going to be tough.

You gotta give it to Barry. His last game and he goes out on top. It's probably only fitting. He's a good football coach. I've told people, 'He's going to be in the College Football Hall of Fame.' He's done a great job at Wisconsin. His players responded.

To be honest, I never really concerned myself too much with the Hall of Fame, just like I never really concerned myself with numbers when I played,
