Month Quotations | Page 5

I think the opportunity is certainly there for Republicans simply based on the governor's record, ... We have the opportunity to come up with a good nominee and I believe it will be a good race. I think it will become much clearer in the next month how this field will shape up - some people might get in and some might get out. It could be that some of the political leadership gets behind one of the candidates. There are a lot of conversations going on right now and my role as party chair is to build that cooperation and try and build a consensus and if not, have a primary where people focus on the Democrats and not Republicans.

I thought a month ago that the industry had reached a plateau, and we would finally see what the direction would be, ... Instead, it's just gone from bad to worse.

I think you've got to look at where we were the first month and a half to where we are right now, ... There's still a few too many errors, but we're picking each other up, continuing to work hard. These guys are playing right now with probably the best confidence and best chemistry we've had all year.

I think the economy's momentum is still upward, but the data that have come out in the past month have weakened my confidence in that prediction. I haven't changed my forecast, but I've become a lot less certain about it.

I think the difference in the discussions that have taken place in the last month ... is that the push now is more towards what is in the long term interests of Formula One. That is where probably the acquisition from the banks of the equity by CVC has been most positively felt because they want stability, they want growth and now we participate in that growth so everybody has a very common interest.

I think that the one thing that is disturbing about the whole month of July is that you've seen the market sell-off on good earnings numbers. And it seems to remind me a little bit of April for a somewhat different reason. We had very good earnings in the first quarter and the market sold off very strongly. We're starting to see the same pattern in July. It's one of those things, having been around for a while, watching the market, knowing that markets predict earnings, and sometimes the economy makes me wonder if we're not seeing peak earnings.

Last month we had two different fights lined up, but both girls backed out. There are a lot of people out there who we'd like to fight, but they keep turning us down. We've got feelers out in a few places right now, and a lot of people are throwing Carina's name around, but it's been tough.

Last month we came precipitously close to filing for bankruptcy. We were fully prepared to file bankruptcy. We're a very prudent company.

Last month we announced the largest reorganization in our company's history. This acquisition reflects our aggressive focus on growth and profitability,

Last month's inflation report was about as strong an endorsement of steady rates as one is likely to see. The balance of news has turned around significantly over the past month and we now expect rates to remain on hold at 4.5% for the remainder of the year.

Last month I spent six months in New York working with Barry Levinson but I didn't want to stay there, I could have but I wanted to come home.

Last month I finally started feeling good, ... I was just anxious to get back -- with the new signings and the new rules -- and seeing as we were out for a year. Not being able to play the next couple of months will be hard.

Last May was a huge SUV month -- the sixth best ever for Ford,

Last February was an unusually strong month for Acura. But we continue to build momentum with month over month sales increases for TL and MDX.

Lake Tahoe is the key to our water supply, and what has happened there this past month is nothing short of awesome.

I was concerned with the dust and the dirt, but it's been about a month and a half, ... That was the biggest issue. On South Division Street they left a big divot in the road that was left for three weeks, but they fixed that.

I think were asking a little too much to think about it having that kind of impact. But it's not going to do any damage whatsoever. It would be nice to see some effect from it. It's going to be a pretty important final month for Matt.

I think we're going to continue to see this churning for the rest of the month and then February tends to be seasonally weaker for the market, ... Longer-term, the momentum is still up, but we may need a few weeks of consolidation.

I thought our man offense (Tuesday) was a little bit better than it had been. We still need a little more movement -- guys are still figuring out when to come off screens, when to set screens. But, that's what we've got this last month of the season to get ready for. Come March, hopefully we'll be ready for that.

I think we will see growth of 150,000 or 200,000 jobs per month by the spring. But we still have some structural issues in the labor market to work through, and the Fed wants to see a number of good months before they'll think about raising rates.

I think, we will be able at the end of this month to replace many units from the allied forces, but we must have a common agreement between your government and our government for the timetable of the removal forces.

I think we've kind of forgotten who we were, but we were at least trying to defend a month ago. I'm a defensive coach and we are not playing defensive minded.

It gets cold. Winters are cold, it's not a surprise. We had such a mild November we'd need it to be 15 to 18 degrees below normal for the rest of the month to get the degree days we had last year, and that's not going to happen.

It goes further than St. Patty's or the month of March. People come out proud of heritage.

It had become pretty clear throughout the month of December (2005) and especially at the (January 2006) press tour that CBS was looking in a different direction.

I think this report will lead the Fed to be much more aggressive than we would have expected a month ago. An inter-meeting cut seems far more likely now, and a cut at the May (policy makers) meeting seems all but certain.

I think this is ridiculous. It's their responsibility. Last month they told us if we called immediately they would pick up the deer and now they're telling our residents it was only a courtesy.

I think we are talking two or three more tests. We'd like to have a decision certainly at the latest by the launch of the new car at the end of this month in Valencia.

I think this game has proved that once you turn the calendar month it's almost like guys can start over again easier.

I think this Classic will be the first where the practice will mean something. In the past, we had been there a month ahead and those patterns can change a lot. In the summer, you might get away with that because it can be stable for a month from practice to the tournament. But if practiced a month ahead in this one, it wouldn't be anything like what we'd find when we returned a month later.

I think that in a matter of a month we will be running at full speed,

I think that would have been a fair criticism that would have had more weight if it came a month ago.

It is no coincidence that terrorists have not successfully attacked America since passage of the PATRIOT Act a month following 9/11.

It is just a bummer for the kids. Now, they will have to wait another month to go and a lot of the kids might not be able to go then.

It is interesting having two weeks off in one month, especially a month where we've had very few home games. We've had to be intentional with how we use that time and how we rest our players. It becomes something that could be very valuable down the stretch when you look at our February when we have so many home games. Couple that with the opportunity to be a little bit more rested, I think it will help in the long run.

It is inevitable that we will see a 1% or 1.5% decline in retail sales in an upcoming month as consumers become sated with new vehicles. ... This will not be an indication of any particular vulnerability.

Last year, I think we ran into a problem the first month of the season with guys who doubted that they belonged here. I don?t think we have to worry about that this year.

Last year, I needed 10 people working full-time for a month doing 2005 contracts and setting up audits for our corporate customers. This year, I have one person updating the files in a day.

I went on an unofficial visit about a month ago. The coaches were awesome. So I made it official last week.

I went back to my high school in Texas about a month ago. I ended up spending five, six hours at the school meeting different kids.

I was able to do concerts all the way up until two weeks before I had the baby; I thought I was stopping a month ahead, but he was three weeks early.

I will begin hard training this month and carry that on in to training camp.

I went to school at this log school house. A white woman was my teacher, I do not remember her name. My father had to pay her one dollar a month for me. Us kids that went to school did not have desks, we used slates and set on the hued down logs for seats.

I was just in Biloxi about a month ago. It's pretty laid back there except for the casinos. The beaches aren't as nice, but it's still the same water we have. And the people are the same -- same accents, they eat the same foods and things like that. I don't expect to be going back anytime soon.

I think they'll keep raising the rate this month and maybe every month until the end of the year.

I think they completely overreacted by firing me, but in my mind I think this coming a month after Rush Limbaugh had a lot to do with it.

I think the moral of the month was that the more gas-efficient models did well.

It is a very volatile situation, one that has been going on for a month and will not go away. The U.S. has made it pretty clear they will react with overwhelming force if they feel threatened.

I think there's a feeling that with the discontinuation of the commercial charge next month there will be greater interest from the commercial community.

I think there's a bit more urgency in his tone than we might have seen a month ago.

I think the real story last month was that in spite of higher interest rates, exploding energy costs and debt levels, the American consumer rolls on.

January was not our best month ever, far from it, and that was disappointing.

January is not just clearance month anymore. It's winter-season full-price selling, because Christmas and holiday merchandising is really promotional. These days, that's when you see the really deep discounts.

January is easily the slowest selling month of the year. We don't want the inventory situation to get ahead of us.

January is a pretty strong month because of the gift cards.

January could prove to be a very difficult month for bonds, just as December was. Long-term interest rates rose anywhere from 35 to 40 basis points last month, and we're obviously starting January on a very weak -- if not suspect -- note.

Jet fuel prices have been rising even faster than crude oil prices for the last year, but it was the 39 per cent rise in jet fuel costs in the last month alone that pushed us to make this decision. We have made incredible progress in lowering our operational costs for over two years now. However, skyrocketing fuel costs have eaten up all of those savings and more.

Last week was good. The customer shifted into gift-giving categories and I am optimistic the month will finish out strong. We did significantly better in areas that were not impacted by the strike. The customer feels positive.

I saw it about a month ago, I laughed. You know me, you know I like to have fun, I like to enjoy life. If you're going to laugh at other people, you have to be able to laugh at yourself.

I saw a month ago on TV saying they were going to make everyone with long hair cut it off. And he said he'd never do it. He doesn't care what they say, he'd never do it.

Ironically, this clock seems to receive more attention than any exhibition inside our museum. We receive letters or phone calls every month complaining about the punctuality of the clock.

I remember when I was at Kansas, we lost five straight games. I told the team, 'We're playing great,' and we won the national championship a month later.

People are nervous, they're waiting for the 16th, they're waiting for earnings to come out, and they're hoping there are no surprises. The old adage, 'sell in May and go away' still applies. April was not a good month and today is terrible. It's really become more of a stock pickers' market, people don't want to stick their necks out too far.

Our kids believed they could win this thing. We've known we were going to play East for a while and this was what we've been shooting for the last month -- getting ready for a game like this and trying to win a regional.

Our July was a record month as far as total vehicle sales for cars and trucks.

Overall, we ran really well. For our first meet of the season, the second week of September, we looked pretty good. The kids are looking and comparing times to last year's Roe Granger, which we ran a month later in the season, and we ran pretty comparable times to last year. Our guys really ran well together. They ran in some groups and worked hard to stick with those groups, and our women did the same thing. Several times on the course we had groups of three or four all together. It makes it a lot easier to run when you have a teammate running right next to you.

Over the past 12 month we have made a series of strategic decisions that have affected short term revenue, but will yield and are already yielding a more profitable portfolio,

Over the next month or so we'll really see the value the Gold Cup had for us. Because of injuries and suspensions, a few guys had to play a bit more than we anticipated, and that can only make our squad deeper in the long run.

Pakistan have got some good players all round. I think if we focus on just one or two players in the team, we will be making a mistake and I think if they focus on one or two players in our team, they will be making a mistake because we have shown over the last month that a lot of our guys are performing.

Over the years, we have had our meetings and shows at different locations. We used to meet at the Jack Tar Hotel, and several of the local schools. Now, we hold our meetings at the National Guard Armory in Orange the second Thursday of every month at 7 p.m.

Over the past month or so Fed governors have been quite hawkish in their language, ... I think they've pretty much prepared the market for continued rising rates.

Our penalty kill in the last month in general has been really good. That's an area, a reason why our goals against has been really down because of the improvements in our penalty killers and the goaltending hand-and-hand, everybody is getting more on the same page as far as responsibility.

Our season starts now. Whatever has happened in the previous month or so, it's gone. We can't change that. Our season starts as of Saturday against Fulham.

Our strategic initiatives and intense focus on the customer delivered another month of strong results. We posted positive comparable sales across all geographic segments for February and marked our 34th consecutive month of positive global comparable sales performance. Both achievements are a testament to the effectiveness and momentum of our Plan to Win.

Our school district looks dramatically different now in comparison to what it looked like right after Katrina hit. It looked as if there was no way we would be able to have school one month after the storm, but we were very optimistic from the beginning and took an aggressive approach to getting our children back in the classrooms.

Our same-store sales growth in the month of August was slightly above our planned range for the month.

Our sales for the month of December were at the upper end of our expectations, driven in part by a higher mix of promotional sales,

Our goal is to complete it (jury selection) sometime this month, to start evidence and opening statements by the end of the month -- that's the judge's goal and we are all working toward that.

Our goal is no more than 45 cancellations a day. This month we're averaging 98, and the increase is mostly because of maintenance operations.

Overall, trends look good and in line with expectations. We were pleasantly surprised to see expenses decline on a linked quarter basis. Also, it appears that deposit growth accelerated in the final month of the quarter.

Overall, the survey is still very strong, but we hoped for a bit better. A further decline next month would be a bit disconcerting, but there is no reason to expect that.

Our view is that there is a long way to go down. Whether that's Monday, next month or over the next few quarters isn't known.

Our training has been good the last month and a half, so we are anxious to get after it.

On the (Tahoe), we're beating expectations on a number of fronts. We're beating the production schedule, we're ahead of our sales objective for the month and the response we're getting from dealers is positive.

Our average DNA case is a minimum of a month or more.

Places further north haven't seen much rain. At flowering time you need to see an increase in rain. A month from now it could be a problem.

Regardless of how much money I make, this product costs a lot of money to put on. I don't think it's asking too much to ask people to pay 43 cents a day (to listen to satellite radio for the $13 a month fee to subscribe to Sirius).

Recently in the last month or so, offensively we've seemed to find a groove and we've been better. We've finally got something going and we just want to keep it going and contribute.

Recently, 15 rhinos were killed in a five month spate of poaching in Nepal, showing us that there is no room for complacency in our battle to save this species, ... Wanted Alive: Asian rhinos in the wild.

President Bush is the fittest president in history. They said it's because he spends a lot of time exercising. See a lot of our previous presidents wasted that time reading. .... A lot of people are every critical of President Bush for taking the entire month of August off for his vacation. But his staff points out, there's nothing at the White House he can't do at the ranch because the ranch is fully equipped. It's got the treadmill, the weight room, the jogging path, the big screen TV, they get Nickelodeon. It's got everything he would do.

Our rent has gone from $1,000 a month to $2,500. That's basically our whole budget.

Our paper actually the community's paper will cover eight years of local history each month using headlines and pictures from community archives.

Oregon has tailored its 529 program to meet the varied needs of our residents by providing a diverse mix of investment options and channels to buy these plans. College Savings Month is an important avenue for us to educate Oregon residents about the benefits associated with 529s, especially how these plans allow education savings to accumulate tax-free and be withdrawn free from federal and Oregon income taxes when used for college tuition.

Participating with the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce, we did a 'shop local' campaign in the month of December and spent quite a lot of money in an electronic media campaign.

Our offense hasn't been in sync for about a month now. It looks like were afraid to takes shots and for that matter make shots, and tonight we just didn't look like we were mentally prepared.

Our long-term capital investment program in ports will move to a new phase next month with the opening in Brisbane of our world-first automated straddle carrier terminal,

Our newest and best products carried the day for us in February. The LX platform posted sales of 30,241 units this month, our best ever. Overall, our car business is up 19 percent, and we have the all-new Dodge Caliber arriving at dealerships this month and attracting a new group of customers to our showrooms.

Orb is the best place-shifting product for use with any mobile device, including cell phones, especially since there is no additional software to load. I've been watching a lot of basketball this past month and this is perfect for the Diamond user who expects the best in their products, and is looking for an easy way to watch their favorite sports and TV shows, regardless of where they are.

Optus will be responsible for negotiating all rental, lease and packaging deals through the mobile network. This relationship has allowed us to offer clients a cost effective solution which equates to approximately $100 per truck per month to incorporate the solution.

People last year just couldn't believe they were getting to interact with actors who played such iconic characters. Well, this year we brought more of them and promise it will be an even better show. We plan on kicking off the month of October the right way by bringing true icons of horror to Beaumont and of course giving them a more than ample dose of metal.
