Seem Quotations | Page 7

Maybe he was responding to James Carville, who warned the Democrats that the public wanted reform. The Democrats seem stuck in concrete.

No one was happy when this happened. There were girls that played varsity last year that aren't getting that chance now. But the kids seem to be getting along pretty well and they're playing really good golf.

Now, we've got a good group of juniors and seniors, and they seem to be committed to doing the right thing.

Now that I've come to UC, I realize how supportive this university is of the military, ... ROTC classrooms are new and the programs are well funded. People really seem to care.

Now you can win without a quad, and that doesn't seem right.

Needless to say, James and Dee didn't seem to be too carried away or emotional. They were just businesslike.

Nederland is always such a sound and solid football team. Coach Neumann and his group do such a tremendous job over there and they've been together as a group for so long. I think they've been to the playoffs 10 straight years or so. They always have some good-looking kids. They look the same as they did in 1981. They have big kids that work hard year around. They look like they're just cut from a different mold. They just seem to reload every year with the tremendous depth they have. Another key to their success is that they don't turn over the football. They've won a lot of games over the years doing that.

Neither bulls nor bears seem to be making any headway, unless you look at the Dow.

New hires and recalls from layoffs... are far below what historical experience indicates, ... To a surprising degree, firms seem to be able to continue identifying and implementing new efficiencies in their production processes and thus have found it possible so far to meet increasing orders without stepping up hiring.

New guns, there's nothing out there right now -- they're all bought up. Any lever-action Winchester, I can't seem to find right now, because Winchester is closing and people are trying to get a part of the history before it closes.

Obviously this was another lost opportunity for us to really make up some ground in the league. Tennessee made their shots and made plays down the stretch, and we didn't. We couldn't get our shots to drop. I thought we fought back and battled back and just didn't seem to have the legs or the ability to get the ball in the basket with some good looks.

Obviously, they wouldn't have had that run (in the second quarter) with Audra in there, but to get other girls contributing is what we want to do. The girls always seem to get better toward the end of the year, anyway.

Obviously I think this is a necessary first step because the contract negotiation unfortunately broke off this weekend and doesn't seem likely to be restarted. We have to do something to reopen ports. The impact is going to get much worse over time.

Obviously their New Year's resolution is to stay positive, and they seem to be doing that. But given the race is a statistical dead heat, there's no question we'll see the Liberals respond.

Obviously the cell business is extremely hot in Europe and it's going to continue and it's going to grow in other parts of the world and I think a good supplier of that comes from Motorola ( MOT : Research , Estimates ) and again, the stock has absorbed a lot of negative news lately and it does seem to have made a bottom and it keeps bouncing off its lows. So that tells me that, you know, going forward things will change. We might encounter another quarter of bad news out of them but I think at these levels it should be bought.

Obviously, the Busch series has gotten so competitive that we pretty much head into each weekend with a top-10 finish in mind, and things have seem to finally have come together for us in the last couple months, especially the last couple of weeks.

Obviously people seem to think that there will be an appetite for one as witnessed by AZN being a pound higher than it was this morning.

Obviously I don't know anything about who else was a candidate, ... But, looking at it from my perspective, I'm sure there are elements of what I have to offer which might seem safe. As for the shock of the new - I'm involved in a contemporary art museum in the Netherlands which has an international reputation as one of the best of the country. I've done exhibitions at the Van Gogh involving contemporary art and we've done work with modern painters, sculptors and photographers.

Obsession with the market seem to prevent ministers looking at the huge problem and all its ramifications in health, education and employment that come from the housing insecurity that too many face.

No energy crisis exists now that equates in any way with those we faced in 1973 and 1979, ... World supplies are adequate and reasonably stable, price fluctuations are cyclical, reserves are plentiful, and automobiles aren't waiting in line at service stations. Exaggerated claims seem designed to promote some long-frustrated ambitions of the oil industry at the expense of environmental quality.

No doubt that portends an upcoming price reduction or processor enhancement for the original model, but it does seem strange right now.

Nothing could be worse than this torment, and I cannot rid myself of it. I have been here all summer in a place where everyone else's children seem to be in the military.

Right now it's the red tide and we just can't seem to shake it. We're at a dead stop.

Right now it's been about keeping them focused. Right now the kids seem excited. Maybe I'm just old and worrying too much. But the kids are staying loose.

People were pretty pumped up. They know what they're talking about. I think they're following what's going on a little bit more. There's a lot more positive attitude where there wasn't one before. It was just more of an obligatory thing that people were going to. This didn't seem like one of those things.

Peter Harvey just doesn't seem to get it, ... His response completely missed the mark and is wholly unacceptable.

Policy makers seem to continue to believe that they can boost demand enough to alleviate the oversupply situation. They now talk of extraordinary monetary measures and huge tax cuts to stimulate demand, ... Although their timing was admittedly very poor, Japanese policy makers attempted the same thing.

Police have a lot more clout now and they really seem to be using it.

Poking fun at other people's beliefs, while it may seem frivolous and offensive, is a non-negotiable right. It is a principle that underpins free speech, the basis for progress.

Personally, I would be resistant to that and I believe that in listening to my colleagues on the committee, there doesn't seem to be a lot of momentum in that direction. I think that over the last two years there is a certain magic that has evolved over the course of this tournament, and I wouldn't want to fool around with that in the short term in regards to expanding the field in any way.

One thing about them, they find a way to win. You just have to give them a lot of credit. They played well. They were missing some guys, but it didn't seem to matter to them.

Never would I have dreamed after the two surgeries that I would have a chance to come here, ... I just wanted to play again. For a while, it didn't seem like that was going to happen.

New Yorkers seem to have a knack for quickly adopting out-of-towners as their own.

On paper, we seem to be a deep, big and experienced basketball team that should be ranked in the top 10 teams in America.

On the earnings front, it would seem that companies have fared a little worse than the market had hoped. Annual growth has come in around 14.5 percent this season and analysts were hoping to see 16.6 percent.

On the face of it, there seem to be some inconsistencies,

One of the reasons why some of my films seem so slow is because the soundtrack isn't expressive enough - maybe they need more sound or music.

One of the reasons we never had a Website before was that we're such a tight community, everyone is closely related, through family or through business. There just didn't seem to be a need for one.

One of the factors here is what role Yasser Arafat will play. From some of the statements that he has been making immediately, he doesn't seem to be trying to move the Bethlehem situation to a smooth and quiet resolution. Unfortunately he seems to be trying to use it as another excuse to inflame international passions, and I think that Yasser Arafat could be playing a more constructive role in trying to bring this impasse to an end.

I was at the Super Bowl last year just hoping that one day we'd be able to get there. I may seem like a mild-mannered guy, but my gut was churning inside: 'Let's win this game. Just win this game. We've got to win this game.

I was starting to feel the groove again, and then I had this minor setback, ... But I'm not going to feel dissuaded by my performance. As long as the team wins, that's OK. Unfortunately, they seem to coincide.

I was surprised that we had that type of success against him because he's been tough. He didn't seem to have the answer today.

I was scared to death. I didn't know if they realized what we were facing, all the different things they're experiencing. I was nervous about it. I wasn't sure they were comprehending the magnitude of our opportunity. But they seem to be able to enjoy it and step back focus on it at the same time.

I wouldn't trade our economy for any other state's. We seem to be the steady Eddie.

I wish we could buy farmland, but it doesn't seem like there are very many people looking to sell property. It's so outrageously expensive now.

I wish this team plays like they did in the second half all the time. We need to play tougher soccer. It didn't seem like we wanted it in the first half and we wanted a win in the second half.

I wish the state would go ahead and seed the playoffs so that we wouldn't be meeting this early. We'd likely have to play eventually, but to see one team go home really before its time doesn't seem right.

I would hate to be in high school now. Psychologists talk about the 'imaginary audience' that teens seem to feel they have around them and that makes them think they have to keep up their image all the time. Now with Facebook and MySpace and 24/7 online access, that imaginary audience has become real.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

If we have repeat offenders, if the situation happens time and time again with a certain individual, something ought to be done beside suspension. I don't have a specific example of what could or should be done other than something a little more strict than a suspension. Because, you know, that didn't seem to slow him down too much.

If we're talking fantasy, I would love to host a late night talk show... More Fallon than Leno. Those guys always seem like they're having way too much fun at their 'jobs.'

If we're lucky. People don't come, but it is a place where you can have a voice. But people just don't want to seem to exercise that right.

If the rules of a language are followed, words usually make sense. But these very rules can stir the impulse to rebel. We're obliged to keep trying to convey meaning through correct sentences. After a while, the good-soldier rigidity of polished prose can begin to seem dull, and it gets harder to resist the temptation of nonsense.

I got into paying attention to cities and when I moved downtown I would go into stores that were more mom and pop, so I would get to meet the people and talk to them, ... A lot of them pushed me and said I should run for council. Also, a lot of my old bosses said I should get into politics because I seem like a person who would care enough to do what is right.

If they suddenly leave like that they don't seem to be very interested in taking part.

If we can sort them out, I'm quite certain that the others will seem rather minor,

I have had many, many cats. We seem to connect well. I had a snake when I was a boy. It was given to me on my birthday.

I have certainly seen US and UK leaders in Europe who struggle. They personally might not have the tolerance for ambiguity and go into meetings where things do not seem bolted down - yet the numbers are good and they scratch their heads and wonder how.

I have found that all of my memories seem to need a place and that a good part of what we think of as explicit memory has to do with location.

I didn't want to create an impediment in that situation. I wanted him to be productive. But it didn't seem to be working in that direction. I think more attention was better than less.

I didn't notice anything missing, but I came across a pendant with a baby picture. I gave it to the office; it may have something to do with it. I found it underneath a couch... investigators seem to be interested in.

I'd just as soon describe it the way it is but I think, at the same time, I don't want to give anybody any kind of advantage with others that others don't seem to share. If those are the rules, that's fine with me.

I did not record them, because with his history and physical they did not seem consequential,

I don't feel any trepidation about it. They already seem like they went to high school together.

I don't know what time they usually get up, but I felt it would be a good thing. After practicing and then getting to school at eight, by the time nine o'clock comes, it should seem like a late time.

I don't know what the situation is with the Australian team but they seem pretty settled. In the same way that there were plenty saying last summer that they did not want to be in the side that loses the Ashes, there'll be more wanting to be in the team that regains them. We are under no illusion about how determined Australia will be.

I don't know what it is. They just can't seem to get it together. I think there's just too many kids trying to impress the parents. I think there's a lot of pressure from the parents, and they try and do it all by themselves.

I don't know what it is about the second round, but we just seem to step it up. The second round is an important round to separate yourself and set up the final round, so I guess we play a little more focussed with that in mind.

I don't know what it is about Memphis, but we always seem to come out and play good against them.

I don't know what it is about (Charlotte), but they seem to have our number this year. I think every year you kind of struggle against one team. For the most part they've been competitive games, but for whatever reason, they've been able to come up with a few more bounces and get the wins.

I don't know. We've practiced a lot of crowd noise since I've been here and it doesn't seem to be as big an (issue as it was),

I don't know. When I talk to people, they seem to want it to come back. If somebody wants to watch another show, that's great.

I don't know who they are, or know anyone who knows who they are. They don't seem to show anything to back up those offers. I just don't understand the notion they're creating value with this currency that can be used to buy other airlines.

I don't know what that was. Zone or man, it didn't seem to matter.

I don't know what proof they have on any of it so I'm real leery about there being another story about it. There have been a lot of unfounded comments about him. There doesn't seem to be any evidence to support what they're saying.

I don't believe that you have to dress in a masculine way to seem powerful. I think that the way a woman dresses doesn't have to be so aggressive. Being feminine is a powerful feature in itself. Power is in a person's demeanor.

I do not think that the U.N. is really perceived to be taking sides in toto, but there have been complaints that certain personnel in the U.N. seem to favor, for example, the pro-independence groups.

I am concerned, frankly, about the size and last-minute nature of this year's congressional spending spree, where they seem to be loading up the spending bills with special projects for special interests, but can't seem to find the time to raise the minimum wage, or pass a patients' bill of rights, or drug benefits for our seniors through Medicare, or tax cuts for long-term care, child care, or college education,

I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the more of it I seem to have.

I am honored that everyone wants to be a part of this. It doesn't seem to be a problem or an issue to get people to do things. We have all 60 slots filled and there's never a shortage of singers.

I am in awe of women who have full family lives and seem to work round the clock in the 24/7 news cycle.

I am amazed I have any fans at all!!! It makes me feel so good to know that I do. It makes me feel really good inside to know that there are some people out there who seem to understand me in some ways even though they don't know me in the flesh.

I am a pet person. My dog actually lives in Georgia now. But I work with animal trainers and pets quite often. I also volunteer at different places like animal shelters. It's good to be around pets. They kind of put things into perspective. They're easygoing, loyal, and they seem to get it, even when humans don't.

I believe there are other ways to get exercise like belly dancing. These classes seem better for older, more mature women who are rediscovering their sexuality.

I believe that this is a team that can play with anyone in the state. We're not afraid to go out there and challenge other teams. Unfortunately, today we fell behind early and that's never good. I think that we were a little off and it showed from the other night. And, quite frankly, the breaks just don't seem to be going our way. The pucks aren't quite finding their way onto sticks when they should and shots are going just wide.

I booked a flight last-minute to El Paso ... and the weather was gorgeous. It didn't seem like there was much going to happen. It didn't look like storm weather.

I am surprised that folks in general seem a bit peeved that their minimum payment may soon be rising. I think it is a wonderful thing, frankly the first real pro-consumer move this industry has made in my adult lifetime.

Caste and estate seem to have been forgotten; all are engaged in a common business, full of similar risks, and rewarded by a similar wage.

Certainly, she's extremely disappointed, because things were moving along and now it may seem like we are backing up. I don't want her to think that we are backing up. She's a very confident, very competent driver. And she's like I've said before, a fiery little red head, and she wants to go. That's one of the reason's she's going to make it, is because she's ready to go, and I would rather have someone that I have to hold back than someone I have to push forward.

Careless she is with artful care, / Affecting to seem unaffected.

Certainly heart rate variability has been tied to things like emotional control. It does seem a bit faddish to me.

Cats are one of evolution's most charismatic creatures. They can live on the highest mountains and in the hottest deserts. The problem is that if you look at the number of species they all seem to be variations on a theme.

Capitalists seem uninterested in capitalism, even as eager entrepreneurs can't get financing. Businesses and investors sound like the Ancient Mariner, who complained, 'Water, water everywhere - nor any drop to drink.'

Celebrities don't seem to care as much about looking bad anymore. In the old era, people would be very careful endorsing any products making it look like they were out there to prostitute their name. Celebrities have a different M.O. these days, and there's nothing subtle or sophisticated about it.

But this doesn't seem to do anything to address the core Windows problem: Windows is too big and too complex.

But thats not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have just landed in them, usually - their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didnt. And if they had, we shouldnt know, because theyd have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end

Businesses seem to be doing everything they can to increase profits without increasing hiring. Unfortunately for the labor market, they appear to be quite successful.

Burns has mounted a pretty strong defense of himself, but according to a poll released last week, voters don't seem to be buying it.

Basically, taxpayers would pay $2.4 billion in higher taxes to get four percent more of our kids into preschool. That just doesn't seem like a very good bang for the buck. Rather than focus resources on the state's most pressing needs or helping parents of low-income families who need the most help sending their kids to preschool, this flawed measure creates a subsidy for rich and middle-income families that already send their kids to preschool.

Because they are generated in what may seem to be a very comfortable setting, the frequent candor has led to multitudes of embarrassing moments,
