Obvious Quotations | Page 3

Obviously, we have no leader on the floor. That is obvious if you watch us. I don't think they trust me. My feeling is that most of them think I'm over the hill. Maybe I'm just exaggerating.

Of course it's a concern. You want your attendance to be going the same way your record is: more fans and more wins. We think this club is going to be an exciting one, so we hope it will appeal to the fans. We sure do want to do everything we can to encourage them to come out. Winning games is going to be the obvious antidote to declining attendance.

Of course, it can be very upsetting to some, but others were not surprised at all. I think it has been very obvious over the years that our size has been very limiting.

No one questioned the investigation 10 years ago, but there are enough holes being discovered now and obvious questions that weren't posed to make me want the answers now.

On one level, bombing ISIS is easy. The U.S. knows where the group operates. There's no need for a ten-year hunt like the one for Osama bin Laden. The terror group has two capital cities: Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria. Al-Qaeda never had such an obvious home address.

One of the more obvious options for smaller firms is the opportunity to outsource certain business processes so that in a sense you off-load a bulk of the compliance work.

If they want the tackle, and Ferguson is out of reach, Justice would be the obvious target. I've seen him rated all the way from No. 8 all the way down to 23 or 24, and I'm only talking about people whose judgment I trust. He's No. 19 on my list. Isn't that odd?

If they stay within the organization, the obvious choice is Frank White . The thing is, if you hire him, it's going to be very difficult to fire Frank White if things don't go well. He's a local guy. He played at the academy. And he made such an impact on this community. He was a great player. God, it would be tough. You'd almost be saying, 'Frank, you've got five years or six years or 10 years.'

I have been told my poems unfold in such a way that it is not at all obvious from the outset where they are going or how they will end.

I didn't want to get a job. I wanted to see all these places and all that obvious stuff, but mostly it was just to do something harder than I'd done before.

I don't feel that this concept of disruptive technology is the solution for everybody. But I think it's very important for innovators to understand what we've learned about established companies' motivation to target obvious profitable markets - and about their inability to find emerging ones. The evidence is just overwhelming.

I did trial and error on myself and it took two months. I eliminated all the sugars, obvious sugars, and I ate carbohydrates separate from protein.

Based on the obvious self defense issue here. No charges are being brought against the clerk.

I majored in theater, but it was pretty obvious right off that I wasn't any good as an actor. I'd been writing shows since I was in high school. So I concentrated on writing for the theater.

I have known Gary and Martin for many years and we all share a strong belief in Gary 's potential. Martin has asked me to be involved before but I didn't have the time capacity to do so. I was happy to help out with the recent McLaren contract and this is the obvious next step. Martin Hines has done a great job for Gary to get him this far.

I hate it for him. And it's made it more difficult for us. It's obvious he would've been our leading scorer. But some things, you can't help.

I feel the time is right for me to relinquish the reins. It has become increasingly obvious to me that we are meeting and surpassing all the goals we had in mind when we took the company public in 1993.

I find that ridiculous, frankly. This means they haven't thought of the basics. They haven't worked out the most obvious scenarios.

I can only guess at the excuses that will be offered by people who profit by engaging in an obvious fraud, by invading personal privacy, and by assisting criminal behavior.

Given that they waited until the market closed on that day, and on the day of their annual meeting, it's obvious that they didn't want to tell anybody about it until that point. And if they didn't put him up for re-election, that would have announced to the world that there would be a parting of the ways.

From what I've seen, he's a phenomenal player. He didn't miss any assignments. It's obvious he's been paying attention at meetings and through the course of practices.

I don't think among the favored categories of gender and ethnicity, beyond Al Gonzales, the president has an obvious choice.

If a kid in high school or college came to me and asked, 'What do I do to get better that you didn't do?' I'd tell him I missed out on a lot of the fitness wave that's so obvious out here now. The majority of players are doing it, but when I first got out, no one was.

I don't think you can really look ahead right now in this organization, ... I don't want to look ahead, because I don't know what's going to happen. Because it's just obvious something is going to happen. I'm just looking forward to helping the team win this season and go out with a bang and have some good numbers on my resume when the season's over.

I don't want to be in this position again. This is an exciting time, but this isn't the spot you want to be in for obvious reasons.

I don't think it's a secret to anyone that the trans-Alaska pipeline, the terminal at Valdez, is a critical asset not only to the state but the country. It's stating the obvious - that this pipeline plays a critical role in this nation's economy.

He was an obvious horse, breezed well, and good looking. We had a game plan and unfortunately it didn't work.

He would have no motive whatsoever to set a fire. Mark may be the obvious culprit, as in 'the butler did it.' But I've played enough Clue to know that the butler never does it.

He was the obvious choice. He's got the stuff, and he did it last year when Mac wasn't available, so he has some experience.

He has always found ways to make sure that children could reach their full potential in school. It's obvious this educator is still educating and still making a difference. He was replanted and is still bearing fruit.

He has a knack of going into troubled situations and being able to see through the forest and see where the opportunity is. A lot of people can figure it out and then they're afraid to pull the trigger. If you go back over Jerry's career, it's very obvious he had no trouble pulling the trigger.

We can expect a much better hockey team. It's very obvious that they want to come in here with a purpose, that they want to make a statement about where they belong, where they should be ranked. You can be sure that after the way we beat them the first time, they're going to be coming for blood.

Today it seems obvious to everyone that, of course, you have to be in the digital space or at least have a presence on the Internet.

I think the guys realize what team we need out there to wrap this thing up.

He shot his wife, but he doesn't know how. Did he pull the trigger? Of course he pulled the trigger, but the question has always been did he pull that trigger on purpose? If you listen to that tape, it's obvious he didn't.

There are one or two elementary rules to be observed in the way of handling patients, he remarked, seating himself on the table and swinging his legs. ""The most obvious is that you must never let them see that you want them. It should be pure condescension on your part seeing them at all; and the more difficulties you throw in the way of it, the more they think of it. Break your patients in early, and keep them well to heel.

There are obvious reasons why I didn't say anything,

There are obvious alternatives if we are going to move to another stadium on a temporary basis.

There aren't a lot of obvious places to just go and increase rates.

I always expected to finish out my contract with the Dodgers and hopefully finish my career in L.A. It's pretty obvious now the team is starting to go in a different direction. If that's the case, then I won't stand in the way as long as it works out for me as well.

He was a warrior today. He was creative and physical and hung onto the ball. It was obvious he was hot.

I would strongly suggest that, while there is an obvious strongly desired sense to move rapidly, it's far more important to be right than quick,

Katrina is a catalyst for these discussions because of CSX's commitment to helping the Coast recover and because of the obvious need to resolve this question in the near-term. We're talking about another east-west thoroughfare for traffic. We've got to know whether that's viable in the near-term; we can't wait years.

John and I are both very disturbed by audience members who don't conduct themselves well, regardless of which side they are on. But that is very rare. Most people seem thankful for the way and seriousness with which we engage the issue and our obvious respect for each other.

I think it combines an outrageously obvious agenda with outstanding artistry.
