June Quotations | Page 3

June was best friends with Robert Duvall, and I was directing a movie with Duvall and they were constantly talking about me among themselves. Soon John and June kept calling me to do a movie about John's life. When we started the whole project it really was more about John, but as we got going, we all realized there was no way this film could not be about the two of them. A lot of people knew who June was, but I'll bet you very, very few of them knew what a big influence she was on his career and his life.

June was a quarterback, but he went to all of my meetings. He liked what we did, and he studied it.

June was a difficult month for retailers and it's also typically a month during which comparable sales are driven by discount sales.

June sales were ahead of plan, reflecting strong performance in hot-weather-related categories such as seasonal apparel, accessories, and specialty items.

June of '85, changed life for the better.

June numbers were extremely strong, which suggests May's weakness really was the weather -- that it was not just an excuse.

June is a good time to sit down with your tax practitioner and review things to date. If you wait until later it is going to be harder to catch up.

June Carter used to say, 'I'm just trying to matter'. And I know what she means. I'm just trying to matter and make work that means something.

June Carter had a long heritage of just being the spokesperson for country music and the face of country music.

June came up roses. The number of deals priced kept increasing, and we had 16 priced (the last) week.

June and July we were looking at terrible crops, and then I think we benefited from hurricane rains and had a better crop than we thought, which dropped the prices.

June and John were the folks who invited Santa and Mrs. Claus to the concert.

June and John are the last generation who can sing about these things first hand, ... The fact is, these people grew up in a field and they were singing about what they saw.

June and I have talked about it. I know there's some real thought that has gone into ... making it a non-league game at the end of the year. I think it would be great.

June 1st is hurricane season. Private charities have got to do a better job and a faster job.

I'm still not concerned. If it was June 12th or something, but this is eight games. It's too early to assess Juan. I'm not worried.

We need some inference from the Fed that interest rates beyond June are in doubt,

It's against the law to go out on Sunday from the end of June until Labor Day. It forces the fishermen to spend some time with their families.

A white truffle, which elsewhere might sell for hundreds of dollars, seemed easier to come by than something fresh and green. What could be got from the woods was free and amounted to a diurnal dining diary that everyone kept in their heads. May was wild asparagus, arugula, and artichokes. June was wild lettuce and stinging nettles. July was cherries and wild strawberries. August was forest berries. September was porcini.

The 7.7 percent increase in the dividend approved by the board today reflects the improved financial results we recorded in 2005 as well as an improving cash flow position following completion of a significant construction program that included the $450 million, 875 megawatt Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which was completed in May 2004, and the $275 million Lake Murray back-up dam, which was completed in June 2005. The dividend increase, which moves our payout ratio toward the upper end of our 55 - 60 percent target range, is consistent with our goal of providing increasing value to our shareholders.

The Army certainly has known since fall of last year, fall of 2005, and perhaps as early as June of 2004 that there were chemical weapons being discovered at Schofield.

I was really encouraged to see the rebound in activity in June and July. The local economy looks much healthier this summer than it did this past spring. However, a clear up-trend is not yet in place and probably will be slow to develop given the punishing level of energy prices and the prospect of more consolidation in the auto industry.

I was born in Akron, Ohio, on June 6, 1943, one year to the day before D-Day, the allied invasion at Normandy. The youngest of four children, I was brought up in a wonderfully stable, loving family of strong Midwestern values.

I would like to point out that June 13 was probably the most anxious day of Michael Jackson's life. That was the day the jury reached the verdict.

Merkel has a tiny window of opportunity at the EU summit in June of 2007, but even then it is very small.

Microsoft really surprised people by guiding down for the June quarter.

Michael Fielding left the country in June 2001, over four years ago. Our business has moved onwards and upwards a long way since then and what we are concerned to do is to look forward rather than backward.

You can get cheap seats up to June 15. On some routes they'll be 10 to 20 percent higher on the (cheapest fares) after that.

While we think that it is still premature to describe the current trend as a full-scale recovery, our expectations for the June quarter and fiscal 2003 reflect some guarded optimism in the direction the market is taking.

When it hits 10, you have to go on dialysis. Then from June to July, it went to 9.

We hope to break ground in late June and our goal is to have the school set to open in August 2007.

We don't expect this current drought situation to be over until about June when we experience the normal summer rain showers.

We do not expect the PSP to be shipped until the June or more likely September quarter next year in the U.S.,

We really think, hopefully, all three of those guys will hit the ground running June 12 when we start our summer conditioning.

We couldn't meet our end of the agreement in a timely fashion, which delayed their construction. We extended the agreement with a one-year moratorium, and in June they will have to be in at least 30,000 square feet of building and meet the employment requirement.

We have a mandate to return the hurricane protection system to pre-Katrina levels by June 1. The folks out there are really working like crazy. We've got folks pounding steel 24 hours a day.

We could not have 12,000 people on the pitch for the gala and then use the same turf for the match on June 12. The problem was that not a single provider would give us guarantees for the proper turf replacement. Nobody would give us these guarantees.

We believe the current range of analyst estimates for the first quarter ended September 30, 2005 and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, are reasonable and achievable.

We had our first child on June 18, and I kind of thought about that a little, ... It really became hard to focus on golf. My wife wasn't able to travel the last month and a half, and I was thinking about her at home. I don't think I was focused as I should have been.

Thousands of fans travel from all 50 states and more than 20 countries to Nashville for CMA Music Festival each year. With 'The Road to CMA Music Festival,' we are taking some of our brightest stars directly to the fans so they can experience for themselves the powerful relationship between our fans, the artists and the music. And of course, we want them to join us in Nashville in June to experience the Festival on a large scale, too.

Treasury yields look headed to 5 percent by the May 10 (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting and possibly 5.25 percent by the June 29th.

We had to make sure that construction stayed on schedule. Our current plan is to use the month of June to slowly transition freight operations to Louisville and other facilities.

We made it clear there will have to be significant changes in levels of overall spending of the EU and in the structure of funding compared to what was on the table in June if there is going to be a deal in December.

We have another hurricane season starting June 1, and there are too many issues and too many Texas lives that could be affected if we do not address these issues prior to the start of the hurricane season.

The president has no right to share the sovereignty of this country. If the president is not going to withdraw this idea, we will be leaving the government on June 16.

We all realize that virtually all of our teams go on vacation between June 15 and the first few weeks of July.

We anticipate the child care center coming up in May, and we will hopefully start building the pool in June and have it done by the year's end.

We anticipate the Alpha TIF district can be established on or before June 30, 2006, depending on the availability of data and the completion of any required annexations.

We are informing employees today that we are giving our U.S. management who are pension-eligible, or close to it, an opportunity to leave the company voluntarily with enhanced benefits. Eligible employees will receive an official offer on June 11 and acceptances must be made by July 10.

We'll move forward in the months between now and June and anticipate significantly more focus at our Annual Congress on expanding the reach of hockey.

Unfortunately, what has precipitated this decline is a real fear of interest rates rising. Personally and professionally, I think interest rates go a little higher than most people expect and until that happens, until we see the end of that fear, I think the market between now and the end of June is going to be very, very nervous.

Unfortunately they have made their bed for a move in June and will have to lie with it now. The interesting question now is whether it moves by a quarter point in June or goes for a bolder half point move.

We're not used to weather in June in this country.

The real jewel of my disease-ridden woodlot is the prothonotary warbler. ... The flash of his gold-and-blue plumage amid the dank decay of the June woods is in itself proof that dead trees are transmuted into living animals, and vice versa.

We're not expecting an entirely clean read for the durable goods report. The business confidence data began to bottom at the end of June and that's encouraging. We probably will see modest gains in consumer activity and eventually the business cycle will catch up to that. But so far, everything right now is pointing to frustrating moderate economic growth for the time being,

We are confident the embassy will be completed according to schedule (by June 2007) and on budget.

We are largely out of the woods with the June meeting.

Upon learning of these accounting irregularities, I immediately requested that the trust undergo a full and complete audit from its June 2000 inception through 2004 to determine if any additional accountancy problems existed with the trust.

The project hasn't developed as fast as we wanted it to. However, C-Tech has met all the requirements of the agreement so far, and we fully expect them to meet the next one in June 2006.

This strikes me as Round 1 in a five-part drama. I'd be very surprised if something does not end up on the ballot in either June or November.

We do feel that the competition is closing in on us but we had a pretty dominant run in the spring and I think there's room for improvement. We're going to start with the same set-up we used in June and then try some new things to see what works best. We need to get the momentum back that we had in the first half of the year and this could be the race to do it.

June suns, you cannot store them To warm the winter's cold, The lad that hopes for heaven Shall fill his mouth with mould.

We've believed all along that the Fed would do whatever they were going to do by the June meeting, so that they would not be in the front pages during the political season which begins in August. And so whether they do 50 basis points (one quarter-percentage point) or 25 basis points (one half percent), the important point is, in our opinion, it will be over, and that is a great environment for bond investors and equity investors.

Sometimes in June, when I see unearned dividends of dew hung on every lupine, I have doubts about the real poverty of the sands. On solvent farmlands lupines do not even grow, much less collect a daily rainbow of jewels.

The fact that we haven't had our day in court yet is beyond me. We filed the suit in May or June 2003.

Many Americans follow pro basketball from November through June, for reasons that I found unexplainable, other than the fact that they were overly fascinated with soaring armpits.

It is June. I am tired of being brave.

It is always weird to be in the studio working on Christmas music in June and July, so we decorated the entire studio, we really did. We brought out lights, fake trees and decorated the place to get in the Christmas spirit. You'd leave the studio, and it'd be 100 degrees out in Nashville, but nonetheless, a great experience.

It looks like President Bush will be handing over power to the Iraqis by June 30th. That's amazing and not only that, but it looks like he'll be handing over power to the Democrats by November 2nd.

President Bush says now he is sticking to his plan for handing over power to the Iraqis on June 30. It's also part of his plan to hand over power to John Kerry on January 20.

We understand the legislation to place a bond measure before California voters in June 2006, that the community was relying upon to seek funding for the purchase, has been tabled until the next legislative session,

We have continued to see positive trends in written business during the month of July and, as such, believe that the analysts' current range of estimates for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2005, and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, are reasonable and achievable.

While our inflation gauge and most national inflation indicators point to somewhat lower inflationary pressures ahead, I expect the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee to raise interest rates at its next meeting on Jan. 31. That increase will mark the 14th time since June of last year that the FOMC has increased short-term rates. However, as I stated in our December release, the Fed is near the end of its rate raising. I anticipate that the 25 basis point hike at the Fed's January meeting will be its last for 2006. Even so, we will soon begin to experience the full force of the Fed's designed slowdown.

With afternoon thunderstorms and daytime heat, stalled out cold fronts, and the Gulf starting to open up, all scenarios offer us a better chance of rain than was the case for last two months. June is the beginning of tropical storm and hurricane season.

We've been saying that for a long time and we have a plan that's tied to gaming. But it will be an unbelievable plan, the best in the history of Pennsylvania for the public sector. So we think it's a no-brainer. But it will take at least a year to find out if our gaming partner wins the license. We're not leaving Pittsburgh until June 2007 at the earliest.

When I was first sent from H.M.S. King Alfred to be interviewed by Goodeve in the Admiralty, I was furious. The War seemed to me, in June of 1940, to be desperately serious, and England in imminent peril of invasion.

This report does not add to the case that there's a visible slowing in the economy. It keeps (the Fed) directly on path to tighten in May and leaves the debate on whether they will tighten in June certain to be a very lively one.

We're told, we were initially told April and then we're hearing May and now we're hearing it may be June before they even approve a plan. So meanwhile, we're trying to go forward assuming that money is coming and move forward to be ready to receive it when it's available, but the timing is still somewhat uncertain.

We think that excellent June and September quarter prospects make for good investment opportunities in communications chip stocks.

We're not into it. Because we know once we do get into it, it's a long grind. We've played until June the last two years, and that's long. That's three months. When it's time, we'll be ready.

Why I would go with Reese Witherspoon ... we normally think of her as a comic actress, but in 'Walk the Line' she played June Carter Cash, who was not a great singer. She was a decent singer, but not a Frank Sinatra or a Barbra Streisand.

Why did Sen. Frist suddenly decide to sell the stock in June after holding the stock for so long? Also, did the Senator order the sale based on insider knowledge that the value of the stock was about to decline precipitously?

This to me looks more like what retailers had said, that colder weather in May might have depressed sales in ways that are not really fundamental, ... Early anecdotal evidence for June shows a snap-back. It would be a big mistake to view this as a sign of a new wave of retrenchment.

We believe overall sales performance was strong during the final week of the month and that July 4 business likely provided a boost to June results.

To the extent that the Fed has emphasized how important benign inflation expectations are in maintaining price stability, ... the June results are disturbing.

The party is on my birthday, June 21 - my 21st on the 21st, which is Midsummer's Day, the longest day of the year and the longest night for a lot of people who are helping to organize it. My father very kindly suggested having a party, although he's probably regretting it now.

The PGA Tour will wish it had an entrenched June date here rather than a tacky fling with FedEx in Memphis.

While it sounds as if most members see that the series of rate hikes since June 2004 is close to the end, it's not over until the economy slows. The minutes are a little past their stale date. Commodity prices are soaring.

When we opened in June we had 15 cars and 500 people between the pits and the gate,

We will challenge these elements in Iraq, the antidemocratic elements, by even bringing the handover of sovereignty before June 30 as a sign we are ready for it,

We will challenge these elements in Iraq, the anti-democratic elements, by even bringing the handover of sovereignty before June 30 as a sign we are ready for it,

We will by not later than June ... have from our officials an assessment of individual areas of change and reform needed in mental health.

We've ordered small portable pumps to put out there temporarily to move the standing water to No Name Lake. We've been pumping since early June and our lakes are fine. We have capacity to handle a couple inches of rain.

We've only toured in one-month chunks, ... We started in November, then we took Christmas off, then we started again in January, and we took some time in February. And then we did a little bit in March, and then we had a bit of time off this summer. The longest break we had, the first time we went home, was for June and July, and then we went back out again in August, and we'll be done at the end of October.

We have 12 guys who have been to a World Cup. On June 12, we play a team with no one who has played in a World Cup. I'd like to believe that hopefully gives us an edge in this game.

We are ecstatic to finally be able to announce the date of our Grand Opening game at our new stadium in Bridgeview. We know there has been much speculation and great anticipation in the community about this date, and we are thrilled that every soccer fan can now circle June 25 in their calendar.

The governor has always said what is important is not June or November but that he and the Legislature work to rebuild California. At this point, it is critical that the Legislature build upon all of the work that has been accomplished thus far.

The good news is we are planning on opening a mail processing center in June dedicated solely to mail processing, so we're looking forward to that.

The good news is that spring is our wet season, with the months of April, May and June providing nearly a third of annual precipitation totals. So far, the long-range outlooks are showing no indicators that spring will be dry.

We've been raising rates in this country since about June of last year, so we've had over a year's worth of rate increases starting to flow into the market. That has slowly, but surely, drained liquidity out of the overall financial system in America. So money supply growth has been below nominal GDP growth now for a number of months. So what's happening is slowly, but surely, there's just not enough money out there available to make everything go up all at the same time. So that's why rallies fail sooner than you expect, and why you know people get punished more for bad news than they get rewarded for good news,
