Ralph Quotations

I'm a big Ralph Lauren girl, but I love vintage clothing. I like the whole western jeans and boots style. I love vintage T-shirts and flannels, and there's nothing like a great vintage sweatshirt.

Perhaps the single most effective antagonist of American business is Ralph Nader, who - thanks largely to the media - has become a legend in his own time and an idol of millions of Americans.

So I'm a young boy in the 1940s growing up, seeing Ralph Bunche on a regular basis, seeing Duke Ellington on a regular basis. We know that these people are famous. They're living in the same community as we live in. They go to the same stores and shops.

There are many guys out there who look like me - you know, brunettes with long hair. There are thousands. But I think the difference is that I am a real polo player, who does endorsements for Ralph Lauren on the side, and I've always looked at it that way.

At the age of eight I started getting into fashion, brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica and Ralph Lauren. But in 2005 I started wearing John Richmond jeans.

Ralph Lemon is my idol. But music is my biggest passion. Frank Ocean's 'Pyramids' is on repeat. That kind of stuff with Frank Ocean makes me cry.

Not many people get to play the lead character in a gigantic film and model for Ralph Lauren; it's amazing.

One of my co-workers at Ralph Lauren heard about the show, and when she got back to the office, said; Carson, you have to call Bravo. They're doing a show. You're perfect for it.

I definitely have a strong connection with Ralph Lauren because I've made so many friends there. But I love being an actor - and I think that's what I want to be.

I'm not a fashion architect. I don't dress in Ralph Lauren and Gucci. When I buy a suit, I buy it at J. Press. I have a blue blazer that I wear 80 percent of the time.

Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton are among my favorite actors.

I told Mr. Nader today that a vote for Ralph Nader is really a vote for George Bush.

This was 1978, when flying was still an occasion, a special grand event that took planning and care. I worked as a TWA flight attendant then. I stood in my Ralph Lauren uniform at the boarding door and smiled at the passengers through lips coated with lipstick that perfectly matched the stripe on my jacket. Mostly, the passengers smiled back.

My favorite country blues player was Big Bill Broonzy. City blues was Freddie King, but I liked them all - Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Ralph Willis, Lonnie Johnson, Brownie McGhee and the three Kings, B.B., Albert and Freddie. Jazz-wise, I listened to Django, Barney Kessel and Wes Montgomery.

I'm a boots girl. The most I've ever spent on clothing is a pair of Ralph Lauren boots that go over the knee but can also fold down.

Designing is so easy - it's the business that is hard. That's why you really have to respect Ralph Lauren - look at what he's done. Anybody who can sustain themselves should be applauded.

I'm sure if you dig deep, Joe and Ralph Fiennes do it because they want to be noticed.

One of the most widely read novels by a black American is Ralph Ellison's 'Invisible Man.' It is his masterwork - it won the National Book Award in 1953 and catapulted my man to the highest levels of literary esteem.

Ralph Reed is deeply ambitious and always was so. There was a time when he... in one of my interviews, he said he pondered running the Ross Perot campaign, and he wasn't sure he wanted to do the Christian Right thing; he was worried that it boxed him into a corner.

The project of Ralph Ellison's 'Invisible Man' is exactly that: to assert the beautiful, bountiful, chaotic complexity of one black American male. And, by extension, all black American males.

We are pleased with our performance in the quarter, given the challenging economic environment, ... We continue to strive to be an innovator in the industry by constantly updating our products and merchandise as we seek new customers, while remaining faithful to the traditional Polo customer. This strategy, balanced with sound business practices in a competitive marketplace, is what built Polo Ralph Lauren and made it a leader for three decades, and this strategy will take us into the next decade.

There are concerns as to whether Ralph will continue to make headlines that are harmful to the party.

Through an exhaustive search, facilitated by Ralph Stow of Plano and the ACC Executive Director search committee, with representatives from Allen, Frisco, and Plano, we were able to examine the top talent in the country.

This will probably be on the same level - if not bigger - than the Ralph Bell crusade.

There are many actors I admire, but I always look at people who have done a variety of roles - people such as Simon Russell Beale or Ralph Fiennes.

Let's destroy this young demagogue before he becomes another Ralph Nader. (about John Kerry)

Mrs. Parks will long be remembered for her courage on that bus in Montgomery, Alabama, which sparked the beginning of the Montgomery bus boycott led by civil rights leaders such as E.D. Nixon, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Rev. Ralph Abernathy,

I have chatted with Ralph and we need to get the funding moving on the effort in the 10 congressional districts, ... Please get me a check as soon as possible for $150,000 made payable to American Marketing Inc. This is the company Ralph is using.

From a music standpoint, there are folks that will be here from Ricky Skaggs to Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys ... more than 250 free performances over those 12 days.

For the time frame that Ralph was the party chair, there is no doubt that the party chairman in general wielded a lot of power, and they wielded it a lot differently than I do today and we have done in the past few years. We don't do things the same way that we used to do.

He made it clear he's going to stay in the race. It became abundantly clear to us that this is about Ralph Nader, and we were sorely disappointed.

He was basically the closest we came to Ralph Gleason,

It came up as, 'Oh, by the way, did you know Ralph was sitting as a pro tem (judge) in this case,'

I thought Ralph made the difference in the game.

It has been a very constructive test given how little time we had to prepare for it following the team's entry into the A1 Grand Prix series, and we leave Paul Ricard with a pretty good idea of how the car works and reacts to set-up changes. Ralph drove well and with strong consistency, which is essential at this, level, and it's clear we are in the mix towards the front of the field, which is where we aim to be. Michael Devaney did a very solid job given that this was his first outing in the car and he had very limited running. The series is going to be very competitive and when you look at the quality of the driving talent you can see that in terms of competition to win races this is going to be quite a battle.

It is not necessary to destroy the community farm. Help us prevent the destruction of this 13-year project that has become an asset to South Central Los Angeles. We call upon you to reconsider the destruction of the 14-acre community farm in South Central Los Angeles. Surely an alternative site can be found for Mr. Ralph Horowitz somewhere else along the Alameda Corridor.

I will hit .450 if you give me Ralph Garr's legs, Johnny Bench's age and cut the travel schedule.

It is altogether fitting that we undertake this salute to Earl and Louise Scruggs. For decades, following in the tradition of Ralph Peer and Jimmie Rodgers, or Fred Rose and Hank Williams, they have formed one of country music's most productive musical and business partnerships. The path they have forged is very much in keeping with our Museum philosophy, which encourages an open-ended, broad-minded interpretation of the country music story.

Our goal was to vindicate our right to use an active polo player trademark. Today the jury gave us that right. We are pleased that the jury found that we have the right to use an active mounted polo player image that represents the sport of polo. Our sports merchandising program is part of our continuing effort to expand the awareness and popularity of our sport. Since 1984, the U.S. Polo Association has been trying to co-exist with Polo Ralph Lauren, but it appears that they wanted nothing more than a monopoly on the sport. That has ended today with this ruling.

Over the last month, HFTP President Ralph Miller and I have entertained numerous requests for HFTP to create a strong European presence with our conferences and other educational opportunities. In order to explore these possibilities thoroughly, we are strengthening our relationships with some of our European friends, IH&RA. We are also using this opportunity to get our brand more widely recognized by major European players in the industry.

Our offensive line has really come together. If it has a good game, then Ralph will have a good game.

I was nervous. I was thinking, 'Gee, he's Ralph Fiennes. What an amazing actor, and I can have this scene with him.' But I enjoyed it, you know. That's what I got into acting to do - to push myself and see if I can do these things.

Winneconne is a very good team and very talented. (Coach) Ralph (Larson) has them playing very well. They are a very disciplined them and has always matched up with us very well.

When I think of Bluegrass music, I don't immediately think of Bill Monroe or Ralph Stanley. I think of Randy Bailey.

We've had cats all our lives, and I received Ralph when he was a kitten. He's both a house cat and an outside cat, but he mainly likes being out more than he does in.

We are delighted to have these disputes resolved and put behind us. Sovereign has a proven track record of creating more than a 200% increase in shareholder value over the last ten years, and our board, including Ralph Whitworth, our other new director and the Santander and Independence Community Bank representatives, will work together to continue to deliver superior value going forward.

We are delighted to have entered into this partnership with Polo Ralph Lauren. Wimbledon and Polo share the same non-compromising standards and determination to maintain and enhance the values for which our two brands are famous throughout the world. The Polo brand will bring to Wimbledon the look of timeless elegance, drawing on our rich history and traditions.

We are delighted to have entered into this partnership with Polo Ralph Lauren.

We are our own entity and Ralph Martin must follow our rules and regulations. Until he gets things straight, there will be no amateur boxing.

Fans always ask, 'What did the bedroom look like?' All they ever saw was Alice or Ralph going in and out.

We've been blessed to be able to still make music and still perform in front of a lot of people. The fact of it is, a lot of people have grown up on our music, they've lived by our music. Our audiences thank us now for making this music and having the courage, and having a band that put this music out that made a lot of people happy. Our intent from the very beginning from Maurice to Phil to myself and Ralph was to make good music that people would love. We're proud of that.

We will also test Caleb Ralph who's a bit tight, so he's potentially in doubt and we will look at both those guys in the morning before making a decision.

And when she was old, if she began to believe that Ralph had been a figment, and this summer too, it would not matter because time turned memories into figments anyway.

I've worked with the old dames and knights - Edith Evans, Ralph Richardson - they're the most incredibly humble, kindly people because they are so big that they don't need to be unpleasant.

said Rademan. ''But these people with the four behind the bench were adamant. They said they loved Bill Guerin, but they were done. Well, Ralph told Billy, and asked if he'd call them. Sure enough, he got on the phone, called them, and that was it, they were sold.

says Jack Limpert, editor of Washingtonian, a city magazine that competes with Binn for some ads. ''Now Binn can get national ads from Prada and Ralph Lauren.

Ralph won't "morph" if you squeeze him hard enough

Ralph Waldo Emerson had this philosophy about be silly, be honest and be kind. I really try to talk to a lot of people about that on the team, and Joy is certainly all those qualities.

Ralph Nader has contributed an enormous amount to this country, and, for some inexplicable reason, he seems determined to wreck his legacy. I think he's hell-bent to do this.

Ralph looked down at 10 pounds of extra him that wasn't there last Christmas. In five months he had put on all this weight.

Ralph Lauren and I get along way too well for me to shop at JC Penny's.

Ralph Klein is a damaged politician. His one stock in trade was that the people loved him and the party was solidly behind him; that he was Mr. Teflon and he couldn't be touched. That's clearly over now." ()

Ralph is there for every employee who needs him.

Ralph is not only a man of accomplishment, but a man of integrity. Those of us who knew and loved Bob are confident that Ralph is just the kind of artist that he hoped would one day take the stage.

Ralph is going to stay in the hospital for 24 hours for observation. That is perfectly routine. Professor Watkins, the FIA medical delegate, reported that Ralph made a very quick recovery.

Ralph is going to be neutral, no matter what. I doubt I would play at the Bibb County Sports Complex. Now I don't know, it might change.

Ralph is a man of courage and a man of great conviction. For more than 23 years he has acted in the best interest of his constituents back home and has always put country before politics,

Ralph is a good and honorable man and we recognize all the good he has done. But we also recognize that it is time to move forward.

Ralph has emerged as a true talent not only in our organization but in the automotive design community. He is a reflection of the company's positive momentum and its deep bench of talent.

Ralph Fiennes was a pivotal influence on me. He asked me, 'So what is it you want to do?' I very shyly, timidly admitted that I wanted to be an actor. He sighed, and he said, 'Lupita, only be an actor if you feel there is nothing else in the world you want to do - only do it if you feel you cannot live without acting.'

Ralph deserves an award for this performance. He's so relaxed, so natural. We're used to seeing Ralph Fiennes as cold, rational. Here he's lighter. He brings a humanity to the role. He's played a lot of edgy characters. Here he plays an average character.

After I talked to EMI, I talked to Ralph and then asked Moe to talk to the other band members. The idea was if they're going to get together to record these songs, they might as well go do some shows, so we're planning a national tour for December, and will hit most of the major cities. All of that is in the planning stages.

This is a paint-by-numbers legacy for Ralph Klein. He doesn't want big monuments or parks named after him.

This legislation is supported ... across the spectrum, from Ralph Reed to Ralph Nader.

It's about me figuring out how to do this right, where I can balance having a life also. People are going to hate me (for saying this), but I'm really happy with my life and I'm really happy I'm the winner and I'm really going to try to make something out of it, but am I going to be the next Vera Wang or Ralph Lauren? I don't know.

The Middle East is fascinating as a market opportunity because that's where the money is. These consumers have high disposable incomes and they're becoming more sophisticated about what's fashionable not just in European haute couture but mainstream American brands like Coach, Ralph Lauren and Juicy Couture.

I kind of anticipated Ralph missing the second free throw, I've been watching them go out for a while. I just faked to the middle and went outside on the guy who was covering me. He was a smaller guy, so I knew I could get my way.

I like a lot of Ralph Lauren and classic styles... My style has changed in that I'm willing to try more things.

I mean, we had guest speakers come in to talk about acting. I'm talking about Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson.

I knew that Charlie was a real good guitar player, and I ran across Ralph somewhere, and he's a real likable guy. I really wanted to get into a workable band.

If there's a real demand for it, then theoretically we'll be able to travel in a certain degree of comfort. We're not going to rent a jet or anything like that, but it will be somewhere between renting a jet and all piling into a van with our gear and a crew guy and sleeping in the McDonald's parking lot (laughs). Ralph is technically still our agent. As far as I know, the initial inquiries have already been made, so the idea of a Pursuit Of Happiness tour is floating around amongst club owners.

I fund ?em, Ralph builds ?em and Jim sells ?em.

If you add Al Gore and Ralph Nader's vote totals, a clear majority of people voted for policies and a vision to protect America's environment ... As further proof that Americans used their ballots to support strong environmental safeguards, pro-environmental candidates won in approximately 75 percent of the Sierra Club's top-priority Senate and House campaigns.

It helped that Lawrence Bender and I both had access to those people. I personally knew Rita and Ralph, and Arie came to the table 100 percent wanting Rita for the role she played. Ralph is who he pictured for his role.

His eye was a camera. Ralph was a beautiful man whose photography was second to none.

If he makes the shot, we don't end up in the coin flip for Olajuwon. Because we had gotten Ralph the previous year, maybe a little bit of jealousy around the league led to a lot of the speculation about the fact that the Rockets were really doing bad.

I attended Amherst College from 1951 to 1955. The first two years were a revelation. There were innumerable exchanges with brilliant classmates, among them the playwright Ralph Allen, the classics scholar Robert Fagles, and the composer Michael Sahl.

The green we're looking for today is not four-leaf clovers. For Ralph to be successful, he needs money.
