Leaves Quotations | Page 2

We're not here to leave a mark, bro. Monuments, legacies, marks - that's where we always go wrong. We're here to revel in the world, to soak in the awesomeness of it, to enjoy the ride. The world's maximum perfect as it is, beauty from horizon to horizon. Any mark any of us tries to leave - hell, it's only graffitti. Any mark anyone leaves is no better than vandalism.

When he leaves ... he will take away 18 years of confidence the markets have invested in him.

When the hot water hits the leaves they expand, so the larger the infuser the better. Ease of cleaning is also important.

Making decisions all the time leaves less time to reflect. At the time I'm knee-deep in budgets, so today I just walked . . . through classrooms. I see the faces of the kids to clear my head. It helps them to be visible to me.

Love in all it's emotion, surpasses the physical. Without even the faintest touch,it leaves it's imprint upon you.

Looks like you can pretty much sew this one up. Now Time Warner and Comcast will get relatively bigger scale. While operating well, this leaves Cablevision as the odd man out. Considerably smaller in scale and now without VOOM, it will be hard for the company to compete with the larger gorillas and their economies of scale, which becomes more important as the cable industry matures.

Last year we had a total of 30 teachers apply for grants and we were able to either partially fund, or completely cover, all but two of them. The total they asked for was $145,218.53, but we only had $55,000 to give. So that leaves a little over $90,000 that we couldn't fund.

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.

Scot leaves with our blessing and we'd like to thank him for his efforts during his short time with us. He'd had this offer to go to New Zealand and it was a big step to take but he wants to carry on playing as long as he can before he turns to coaching and he felt this was the right move. We wish him well.

Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.

My main concern right now ... is that it leaves the criminal investigations division without people who possess a lot of experience in that area. I'm concerned about what that may do to that division and to solving some of these crimes.

One of the aims of higher education is to broaden perspectives, and what better way than by a home stay in a really different country, like Bangladesh or Senegal? Time abroad also leaves one more aware of the complex prism of suspicion through which the United States is often viewed.

Nothing in these numbers would change the outlook for Fed policy, which is to tighten credit and to try to encourage market conditions that would slow growth to a more sustainable pace this year.

Only-child parents try to run interference on virtually every level in every facet of a child's existence, and that's really not fair because it really leaves a child open for all sorts of disappointments -- major disappointment. If you don't get a child involved early on with as many peer situations as possible, you're in deep trouble.

I would rate our performance as average plus, but this average plus performance leaves us with a positive balance sheet.

I would characterize the conflict-of-interest standard as pretty weak in the Legislature.

I would caution people not to store gasoline in large quantities, ... It leaves the potential for a fire or even excessive fumes that wouldn't be there at a normal time.

We've got a great soccer field where you can see every star in the sky, if a child is interested in the planets. And I'd love to learn from the kids, if they knew something I didn't know.

I don't have regrets of being an architect. You are looking continuously - to the leaves of the trees, the shapes of the cars, to the structures of the city, to the patterns of textiles - to find the reasons behind the forms. That is very rewarding. If you extend a profession like that to the entire history, it allows you to travel through time.

I'd be lying if ... I mean, there's a love-hate. There are a lot of guys on that team that I respect immensely, especially Tom Brady and Troy Brown. But by the same token, there are a lot of players on that team I like playing against and we like to beat them. I can't name names, but it's a healthy competition. When they beat us last year in the AFC title game, that leaves scars. You want payback. You play the team that cut you, you obviously want to beat that team.

I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was compelled to go to sea, voyage after voyage.

I believe that he is wiping his muddy shoes on the face of victims, using them as the doormat as he leaves his office, ... It says much more about George Ryan than it does about the death penalty.

Carelessness with debris burning is a leading cause of wildfires in Mississippi. Windy conditions increase the number of fires, size of fires and their intensity. Frost has killed grass and weeds, making this vegetation a fuel source for fires in addition to limbs, leaves and other vegetative debris in woods and on undeveloped property.

Century-old records are the closest thing we have to a time machine. To listen to the voice of Theodore Roosevelt or the piano playing of Claude Debussy is to feel the years falling away like autumn leaves from a maple tree.

Based on our review, we believe there's anywhere (between) 600,000 to 800,000 deceased or duplicate names on the qualified voter file. It's not just a Detroit problem. It's a statewide problem. Their maintenance and operation of the file leaves a lot to be desired.

I happened to findYour picture. That picture. I stopped there cold,Like a man raking piles of dead leaves in his yardWho has turned up a severed hand.

I happened to find Your picture. That picture. I stopped there cold, Like a man raking piles of dead leaves in his yard Who has turned up a severed hand.

From my perspective it leaves the door open to further rate hikes. Remember: the Fed is taking back what they gave last year, which suggests they will raise rates one more time and then see what to do after that.

If anything, Katrina has spotlighted the increasing perils of our heavy dependence on oil. There is no prospect whatsoever that opening the Arctic Refuge and protected offshore areas to drilling would reduce the nation's energy supply and price vulnerabilities. Whether it comes from off America's coasts, from Alaska's Arctic via an aging aboveground pipeline, or from the politically unstable Middle East, oil is an increasingly vulnerable energy source. Heavy oil dependence leaves our economy wide open to price and supply shocks.

If all of a sudden once it leaves here, people have the opportunity to change it contrary to the intent of the federal sponsors, contrary to the desires of local government, I think is a very troubling precedent,

If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

He types his labored column -- weary drudge! Senile fudge and solemn: spare, editor, to condemn these dry leaves of his autumn.
