Penalty Quotations

Sometimes I can tackle an issue -homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty - and wrap a good story around it. These are the best books, the ones with a story and a message.

The death penalty is ineffective as a deterrent, and the appeals process is expensive and cruel to the surviving family members.

I reiterate my proposal of creating life sentences for politicians who make deals with organized criminals. They deserve the maximum penalty because a politician that makes deals with criminals - I've said it, and I repeat it - is no longer a politician but just another 'capo.'

You know, the Bible is so clear. Go to Genesis chapter nine and you will find the death penalty clearly stated in Genesis chapter nine... God ordains the death penalty!

To exclude all jurors who would be in the slightest way affected by the prospect of the death penalty would be to deprive the defendant of the impartial jury to which he or she is entitled under the law.

Workplace relations is about getting the best out of people. An argument which says that the only way we can compete with other nations in the world is engaging in a race to the bottom in terms of pay rates, penalty rates, protections on rosters, getting rid of family friendly provisions - that is not Australia's future.

The penalty for exceeding the time limit is the forfeiture of the game.

Here is my general approach to the energy companies. You have already charged the utilities a 50 percent credit penalty for the power they were buying from you. You're charging us a penalty. You're not going to get two bites of the apple here.

There's a rumour going 'round that if you amass a certain number of penalty points on your driving licence, the authorities will make you take your test again! Now, if ever there was an incentive to drive carefully, they could not have threatened a more terrifying ordeal.

The penalty of success is to be bored by the attentions of people who formerly snubbed you.

I play the game as honestly as I can. If the referee gives a penalty there is nothing you can do.

At the cross, God was punishing Jesus for the sins of the world. God's justice required a penalty from sinners, and in his unspeakable love, he paid the penalty himself in the person of his crucified Son.

You pay a certain penalty for going your own way. A lot of people think you're nuts, and you're not as popular with girls as you should be.

In our period, they say there is free speech. They say there is no penalty for poets, There is no penalty for writing poems. They say this. This is the penalty.

I don't want to put one innocent person to death to put 99 that are guilty to death. So philosophically I'm a tooth-for-tooth guy, but the reality is the death penalty as public policy is flawed.

As women get more powerful, they get less likable. I see women holding themselves back because of this, but if we start talking about the success-likability penalty women face, then we can do something about it.

The death of Christ proclaimed the justice and perpetuity of his Father's law in punishing the transgressor, in that he consented to suffer the penalty of the law himself, in order to save fallen man from its curse.

I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.

We're in a position where we have to cut down on the breakdowns in our own end right through the whole ice. And stay out of the penalty box.

Until somebody gets called in for a pass-through penalty or what have you, nobody really knows where the line is. I'm sure we're going to push the line and push the envelope a lot come Sunday.

We felt like he should start in the game. I know he had his penalty or two, but we'll continue to evaluate that and we feel like we have three guys who can play tackle.

Unless the United States demonstrates a legitimate reason why these recordings are essential to an issue in dispute either in the guilt or penalty phase of this case, these tape recordings should not be admitted at trial,

We feel the penalty rates are assessed too fast, often after just one late payment. It's not just people in financial difficulty. Anybody can be caught in this web, say by going on vacation and missing a payment.

We're aware of Chad's past penalties. Is it a topic of conversation as we meet about the penalty? Yeah, briefly, but it's a lot easier for us to address each penalty situation on its own, with its own merits, but along with that, it's not that much different in the world we live in: A first-time offense for somebody is a lot of the times treated a little softer than somebody that has a history.

Would any of you like to guess what was driving the commentary and all the chatter in all the talk shows in Western Europe that weekend? You know what it was? It was the death penalty case in California!

We're seeing doubt from the guilt phase of the trial trickle over to the penalty phase.

We've got great officials in this league. Now it's up to us to train them so that penalties are the same in every game. I think we need to be clear that it's impossible for every crew to get every call right. But we need to be sure that going into the game every official's definition of a penalty is the same. Judgment may overshadow that at times, but I know our guys will try to do it. We're going to win the battle.

Whenever we get into penalty trouble we're calling on Ashley and Jessica all the time. They're excellent on the penalty kill.

We want him to stay out of the penalty box. At the same time, it's a fine line, because you don't want him to change his game. He can certainly influence a game, and I thought he did. I thought we created a bit of an advantage for ourselves by the way he came out to play, and maybe he took New Jersey off their game, at least initially.

We actually had a 3-1 lead in the first period and then we ran into penalty trouble and they (Port Perry) scored two power-play goals to even the game at 3-3 after the first period.

We want to go out there and be penalty free and have no turnovers. That's the main thing. We've got take it from there and put some more points on the board.

There are murder victims' family members who go through this process thinking they'll feel peace once the revenge of the death penalty is carried out. What I've learned from meeting with these people is that you don't feel better in revenge. You feel better in forgiveness.

There are discussions ongoing as to whether there will be a civil penalty and what it will be. They said that the notice was not sent at the proper and exact time.

We were disappointed that we didn't win. We had a late mental lapse that led to a penalty kick, but Martin's a good team and they found a way to win.

We have really played them tough in the past. We really need to just take care of the puck and stay out of the penalty box.

We've started a lot of games well, but then we start forcing things if it doesn't go our way, if we don't get rewarded. Today we scored the early goal, but when we missed the penalty kick we got a little bit rattled.

We're just taking way too many penalties. We were fortunate tonight that our penalty killing was up to the challenge.

We have a penalty schedule for each violation, and when that process takes place, individuals will have the right to appeal the decisions made by the bureau chiefs, ... the final decision and recommendation will be by me as superintendent of police.

We have had too many in the last couple of games, and we have to get rid of them. I'm disappointed I got nailed with a penalty at a crucial time in the game.

We've struggled, that's for sure. We haven't played to the level where we can take control of the game and consistently put points on the board. We're just very inconsistent. We can't seem to sustain a drive because there's a missed assignment, a penalty or some other breakdown.

We've never asked for administrative penalty authority. The vast majority of our situations are ones where there are not immediate threats to human health.

Leroy is very, very dangerous in the penalty area, and he knows how to take a goal. He is a confident boy.

Seniors are scared to death with the inordinate amount of information, and they are intimidated by the penalty if they don't make a choice by May 15.

Simply, what you had was too many men on the field by Nebraska -- a whole slew of them -- and Michigan had two or three extra men out there. Since both teams had too many men and both teams fouled, it was an offsetting penalty, and the game was over. I think it might have been wise to throw penalty flags and to announce, to say, that it was an offsetting penalty; the game was over.

She had a very good game. She had a lot of saves, she saved a penalty kick. She had a very good night.

She did awesome. She has worked really hard all season and it showed tonight. She wasn't feeling good, so I was worried about that coming in, but she shined. When it came down to penalty kicks, Chelsea just tried her hardest.

Maybe we are not good enough yet. Maybe we're not there. Maybe it shouldn't surprise anybody. I thought we played good 5-on-5; the power play and the penalty kill, that's where we made our mistakes. Could we have won the game? Yes. But we lost it. I don't think we are worse than they are. Maybe we're not as talented.

No-cost loans are pretty popular right now, especially for people with larger loans. The larger your loan, the smaller the penalty for no-cost loans.

One should look at consolidating the right to life instead of imposing the death penalty which has a very poor recognized effect in deterring crimes,

Obviously, we thought from the beginning that the penalty was excessive. Hopefully, everybody understands what has happened and we can put closure on this issue.

Of course there are implications, for the death penalty and death row inmates in all states, when the Supreme Court of the land hears such a case.

Of course it's not the way you want to start. It was embarrassing. If this game doesn't fire us up, I don't know what will. Obviously, we know what went wrong. We went to the penalty box too much.

No one penalty jumps out. Even looking at Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres fans, they want him to play.

One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.

One thing that plagued us tonight was our offense was good until we got to the penalty area. We didn't continue to play the same game. At points we controlled the ball for a long time.

My first death penalty victory--made on behalf of the single most offensive legal argument I've ever made. There was no doubt in my mind, in the minds of my colleagues in the public defenders' office or in the minds of ... the Florida Supreme Court that domestic homicide cases tended to be treated very differently from stranger killings.

Maybe a little bit. But I played on the edge. In today's NHL, you can't play on the edge. You end up in the penalty box.

Now our penalty kill is an issue. Eddy took two penalties, and each time they scored. It's hard when one of your top penalty killers is in the box.

Obviously the penalty parade would suggest I'm not completely happy at all, nor should (the players) be. There's no benefit of the doubt in the playoffs. You're in the big parade now and you've got to participate. It becomes obviously clear we're incapable of dealing with the pressure of these types of situations well enough to stay out of the penalty box and give ourselves a chance.

Obviously, if you received a penalty in this round, you need to find out what's wrong. Those institutions need to get better and get better quick because those adjustments will get smaller and eventually go away.

Right now, I'm struggling on my penalty shot. I've got to help the team in that area.

One thing I'm sure, we're not going to beat the New Jersey Devils from the penalty box.

Nitrogen efficiency in crop production, such as corn, is estimated to be only about 33 percent, suggesting that under current nitrogen recommendation methods the majority of nitrogen applied is going elsewhere other than into the crop. On top of that, it's becoming more of an economic penalty to over-apply nitrogen.

I would call the officiating, ah, interesting. We got a penalty 58 seconds into the game. When we played five-on-five, we were controlling things.

If we have to pay back money, it'll probably be a little south of $800,000. If that is a penalty that we have to face ... the athletic department will pay that out of our reserves and that obviously would hurt us significantly as well, so we'll just have to wait and see what they are.

I got into a role of being their first-line guy, on the power play, penalty kill, so I think it really prepared me for coming into this year, knowing that my role might be a little different. I think it's going to help me a lot.

If they haven't gone back to work by Thursday, then we're going to have a very significant penalty phase to deal with. The longer the strike goes, obviously the more serious the contempt is.

I don't know about a penalty at that time. It was kind of a chaotic situation. But the referee said he clearly did it.

I don't have any problem with the penalty handed down. I think its fair. We have to be more diligent in the future so this doesn't happen again.

I don't know what the prosecution will ask for but the death penalty is still legal in Ethiopia. On a personal note that is not the penalty I would like to see applied, ... It is for the prosecution and courts to decide, but if I have any say on it I would prefer prison sentences rather than death sentences.

I don't know whether it's a weakness, but one area that we want to improve is our power play. Our penalty killing has to improve, too. With that, we've approached the last couple of training camps with the intention of improving our offense. Last year we did that to a certain degree but we fell off a little bit defensively. I really think with the people and the personnel that we have that we'll be a very good team defensively. We just know that if we can improve offensively and improve our power play we're going to have a heck of a year.

I don't know who scored on the first penalty shot but I know Kovalev a little bit and I know he has everything, a good shot and he can deke. Like I said before the season, during the season you win a few shootouts, you lose a few shootouts. Of course it's disappointing. There's nothing I can do. It's over, they scored a few goals.

I don't known what it is about Miami, but we just can't kick field goals here. You can't get as many penalties as we had and expect to beat a team like Penn State. I was just penalty after penalty after penalty. We could have had a lot more chances to score.

I don't know why (the referee) gave him a penalty shot. It says in the rule book that if he gets a shot off, even if he's hooked or whatever, it should be just 2 minutes.

Capital Punishment, a penalty regarding the justice and expediency of which many worthy persons - including all the assassins - entertain grave misgivings

Chinese courts at various levels strictly followed the principle of meting out penalty to the guilty in accordance with the law, and setting the innocent free in time, and pronounced 2, 162 criminal defendants innocent in year 2005.

China's current policy regarding death penalty is to preserve it but use it cautiously.

Chris Peach is a great addition for us in so many ways. He brings an abundance of experience and leadership to our team. He is definitely gong to be an offensive threat every time he is on the ice. He will help us in all game situations, including power play and penalty killing. I had been talking with Chris for almost two years now and I am excited he is coming to Huntsville.

Chris Peach is a great addition for us in so many ways, ... He brings an abundance of experience and leadership to our team. He is definitely gong to be an offensive threat every time he is on the ice. He will help us in all game situations, including power play and penalty killing. I had been talking with Chris for almost two years now and I am excited he is coming to Huntsville.

I had one prone penalty and shot clean on standing today. I definitely felt better than I did in the 15K. I felt like my skiing was better.

I feel very strongly that once someone has paid the penalty for the felony they have committed, that their voting rights should be restored.

I feel responsible for this game, ... To get an opportunity like that, with a penalty shot, you should put it in.

Fouling him and putting him on the line makes him theoretically shoot less field goals and puts him on the line, but it also puts their team in the penalty earlier every quarter. And then other guys are going to the line. ... So if we're just fouling Shaq sort of indiscriminately, it can be a long night.

For sure he's going to be right up there. It's not that bad a penalty at a circuit like this. I think his main problem is that down in 11th place Turn One is going to be difficult for him. The guys around him are going to know that he's got a lot to lose, and they can lean on him.

I expected a one-goal game, but I didn't expect it to be 4-3. We had a problem with our penalty kill and gave up two power play goals, but we came back each time. We needed a game like that.

I don't think our power play generated enough quality chances from the start. They've got the best penalty kill in the league.

Given these facts, protecting the Saudi regime by eliminating any public penalty for the support given to terrorists from within its borders would be a mistake. If we are to protect our national security, we must convince the Saudi regime to get tough on terror.

If it cost my team a victory, then I'll be man enough to say it cost my team a victory. I'm not going to let anything rattle me. I don't think that penalty cost us the game by any means.

I got back to playing on the power play, and playing on the penalty kill, playing on the first line, and things like that will help me,

I got a nice pass from Nieminen on the penalty kill. Our special teams were working tonight, and that was a big key.

If we wouldn't have had the time penalty or we wouldn't have had the wreck, we would have won that division.

If taxes are owed, a delay in filing may result in penalty and interest charges that could increase your tax bill by 25 percent or more.

He tried to get a cold-blooded killer out of death row, ... We all know you don't turn in all the hours, you only turn in those your firm's going to get reimbursed for. It's horrible to watch a person who has always advocated for the elimination of the death penalty to now hide behind a junior associate of his firm. He's running for cover.

I always say the players pick this team, not us. You can't have a team of 12 first-line NHL players. You need role players, checkers, penalty killers. You can't just take the 12 most skilled forwards.

He scored on a penalty shot and I think he was 3-for-3 or 4-for-4 in the exhibition season. I think he's 14-for-14. That's mind boggling.

He is a guy you can count on in all areas, offensively and defensively. He is strong on face-offs, on top of being a very good penalty killer. He is our captain here and he is a big leader for us in all areas.

He got too sloppy on his feet in the first two periods. The early takedowns hurt him. He needed to be sharper. The thing that hurt him was the third false start. That penalty point is going to haunt him for a while.

He got a penalty already. That is sufficient.
