Situation Quotations | Page 5

With this situation here, as long as we had a suspect that had firearms that we knew was shooting at law enforcement and shooting at the helicopter we knew it wasn't safe to leave the freeway open.

With the whole global situation in the Middle East and everything, it would be much better to depend on our own resources than resources that may not be available to us.

With the Web 2.0, we have a situation where customer experience is being defined on the Web.

Would we rather have been in a situation where we didn't have to call timeout by having the best block team that we could on the field? Absolutely, but that wasn't the case, ... I felt that it was an important enough situation in the game, because our guys do a pretty good job inside of getting penetration, to get the right guys in there to do the best job of trying to get the kick blocked.

Would we have rather have been in a situation where we didn't have to call timeout? Absolutely, ... But I felt it was an important enough situation in the game.

Would we accept this situation in real life? The answer is no,

We're still not even at 100 percent. It was just a good opportunity to get some higher competition in some of the events. Some of the kids still are just getting started. That was the first time Michael Phillips ran in a meet for us. It was still kind of an ice breaker situation for us.

We're still investigating the situation to determine what happened exactly.

We're still hoping to resolve the situation peacefully.

We're seeing a shift in the federal government's understanding of the gravity of the situation facing California. The governor's forcing all parties to take responsibility to ensure California does not have its own version of Katrina.

We've got a very uncertain geopolitical environment, and we have an uncertain gasoline situation in the U.S., and all those factors are driving the energy market higher.

We've got a sense of urgency because we're in a situation where we need to get wins on the road. We need to play well.

We've got a pretty unique situation involving General Motors . That's why I'm optimistic.

We've got a pretty tight time frame here. It'll be firmed into a situation that will reasonably address the beginning of the league year.

We've tried to put our lineup in a situation where we have somebody behind him. We're just hoping that if they do pitch around him, we can get the job done.

We've tried to make a plan on how we would operate if we do have an agreement, how it would that impact our ability to make improvements to the team. All we can do is manage the situation the best we can.

We want to reassure the president and the people of the United States that we are their best friends and their neighbour, and we will be there to help them in a situation that truly is without parallel in our country or theirs,

We want to provide these students with skills before they reach high school or are in a situation where they have to make financial decisions.

We have said many times before that ... at the very least, Indonesia is responsible for the security situation in East Timor,

We have to have a good game tomorrow. When the smoke clears on Sunday, we'll see what our situation is. But if we don't, I don't know that we deserve any.

We have to grow up. This is the type of situation that's going to test our courage, our faith and our maturity.

We have to get used to this because it seems that human rights activists and dissidents are not well liked by governments, especially those that maintain their nation's human rights in the appalling situation that Cuba does.

We have assessed our situation and are making adjustments as needed based on the crisis in the Gulf that has impacted our state and our nation. We are making every effort to ensure we continue our delivery of service to students without interruption, understanding that some measures may have to be taken given the daily status of the situation. We will keep staff, parents and students advised of any measures that will impact them directly.

We have no illusions of grandeur here. It's the situation we want to be in. We want to have to go out there and have to earn every single shift. We'll have to do that in this building (the Kohl Center) for sure.

What the public wants is back-to-basics governance and decision-making. This is not a situation in which it changes overnight or that there's a 'Hail Mary' pass that changes the dynamic. . . . There's not a magic bullet.

Whenever you have a situation where inflation is not a material risk and the economy is underperforming, you should be thinking about a rate cut. There's a potential reward and not much risk.

Whenever you have a situation like this going on, management has to rise to the occasion. You have to have some consequences for this kind of behavior.

Whenever you go into a situation where it could be your last play, there's a sense of desperation. I definitely feel it, and I try to encourage my teammates and lead by example. It doesn't matter how we do it, all that matters is we get it done.

Whenever you get in that situation in the course of a game, you hope to get one tackle. To make three tackles is a career in the National Football League.

Whenever these guys come back they always get into a fete match situation but now they have something solid to look forward to and they all came out this time.

When you see a safety situation like this, you have to ask whether it is something we want to continue,

When you see a child dying in front of your eyes, that means the food supply and malnutrition situation in the country is very serious,

When you're trying to shoot, the best thing to do is not think about what you have to do. I've had that situation in high school a few times. I've been pretty successful.

In the event of weather that might actually tear more debris away from that building we would monitor the situation and make a determination to expand the perimeter if debris could be flying ... more than one or two blocks.

We were at a crossroads, and Barry and I decided we wanted to put more money in, and Glenn looked at the situation and didn't want to lose more money. You have to realize, as the majority owner, Glenn was taking the majority of the losses.

We were as tired as we could be. We haven't been forced with the situation of chasing people and that's what we were doing toward the end of the game. In the first half they chased us.

We were asking a variety of sources on the ground for firsthand information. We understood that the situation in New Orleans was a major emergency and were continually demanding information.

We were a lot more patient the second half. Once we got the lead we did a real good job of taking care of the ball. We haven't been in that situation in a while, so it was kind of nice.

We were traversing across a snow field and he was ahead of me and then the avalanche broke above him, and just took him away and, you know, you're always running against the clock in a situation like this and I tried to do my best. I found him and he was still alive, eventually the doctor got there and it was out of my hands at that point.

We want to support every player, and I think every player knows he has a responsibility for what to do and what not to do. As a coach, I also feel a responsibility to put a player in the best situation possible so he can have success.

The complexities of life situations are really not as complicated as we tend to experience them.

The emphasis on practice is because it is the only time in your life you can steer your karmic situation.

The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.

I can't stay mad at Pope Frank. I just can't. It's a funny situation that I like the pope and Mel Gibson doesn't.

I've learned about the inflation range situation. Obviously with our footballs being inflated to the 12.5-pound range, any deflation would then take us under that specification limit. Knowing that now, in the future we will certainly inflate the footballs above that low level to account for any possible change during the game.

We have absolutely done as much work as we can on finding out things like that and we'll try to get all the information that we can as that would apply to any current situation, which I can't talk about.

I cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.

Forgiveness doesn't make the situation OK, it makes you OK.

Sometimes we stand to learn the most about God from the situations we understand the least.

We were in dire need of moisture because some of the plants were bone dry. We're still evaluating what the storms meant to the crops because we had reports that pea-size hail fell later in the morning. Some plant leaves were damaged and possibly fruit as well, but it's too early to tell the extent of the damage. We'll be monitoring the situation over the next couple of days.

We were in a situation where we had a hit, ... but we hadn't figured out where we wanted the band to go and what we wanted to do. We needed time to think about it. We ended up in the right spot.

We were in a situation we could have lost this game. We were in the same situation we were in when we lost to Western Carolina (in the final game) last season. But these guys went out there and won this one.

We were in a similar situation last year. And we came out and played a great game.

We'll be in the situation where, if someone's not playing hard or not focused, we're going to get them out of there and play somebody else.

We are already at or near the bottom nationally in the number of doctors, particularly specialists, statewide. Just the rate of growth and size of the (Las Vegas) community have made this a critical situation to the point where hospitals are routinely understaffed throughout the valley.

We are already at about $50 billion of insured losses from catastrophes in this country so far and that could be as high as $70 billion, depending on what Katrina does. Hurricane Wilma is a situation that is going to exacerbate what was already problematic for the insurance industry.

We are all going to be surprised. This situation is so complicated.

The referee was spot on and I've got no complaints. You can't react the way Darren reacted towards the referee. If it's for foul and abusive language, then I support the referee's decision 100 per cent. There's an internal disciplinary situation that will be put in place.

Women will win in a situation where there is no vote-in. Women are women?s worst enemies. This should somewhat negate both the regional slant and the bias against women.

If you put yourself in a situation of unpredictability and then find that it's completely possible to accept it, then you become an observer.

Money has nothing to do with style at all, but naturally it helps every situation.

I'm afraid of sharks - but only in a water situation.

It is difficult, when faced with a situation you cannot control, to admit you can do nothing.

Research – and using what you learn from it to analyze every situation – is what separates being unreasonable from being irrational.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.

It's a blessing and a curse. But it's not always the best situation to be in. As a profession, I don't recommend acting at all.

There is no human situation so miserable that it cannot be made worse by the presence of a policeman.

If you're ever in a situation where you're not getting served or you can't get what you need, just cry.

...but there are some situations of the human mind in which good sense has very little power...

I can never be important to any one.' 'What is to prevent you?' 'Every thing — my situation — my foolishness and awkwardness.

The full employment situation reinforces itself.

What we learned in China Aviation Oil is that management who initially was doing a terrific job can go off the tracks and if you aren't on top of the situation on an ongoing basis you can end up losing a lot of money.

What we know now is that every single game during the season counts. If we win this game or win that game or just win the games that we should have won, we wouldn't be in the situation that we are having to depend on other teams.

There is a situation where pro-democracy demonstrations have been met with suppression and excessive use of force which has further aggravated the situation and undermines the process of healing and reconciliation which is the only way to resolve the current impasse.

There is a situation of chaos in the military line of command.

There is a situation at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette that public health is monitoring. Three students have contracted meningitis and one has died from a blood infection that has the same bacteria as meningitis. Our office is working with the university to address the situation.

There is a risk consumers will take the president's remarks as an indication that the situation is more serious than expected.

There is a real threat, and I think the situation we are facing today is quite alarming. We really fear that this particular virus might be at the basis of the first pandemic outbreak of influenza in the 21st century.

There is a pretty serious situation, but unfortunately this is a situation that could be repeated in any high school in the country. Sometimes you just don't know what is going on in a student's mind.

There are naturally questions about the hospital facility. We looked at both as the same time. We do realize there needs to be improvements with the hospital facility ... but at this point in time we're going to focus on the nursing center. Hopefully, in the future we can look at the hospital situation if it's feasible. Naturally we consider the hospital every time we do something major.

There are some specific security threats to a variety of embassies, ... We are taking precautions ... in what is a dangerous situation in the world, with terrorists.

There are some pitchers who can elevate their game when they really need to. That was a situation where Schilling needed to, and he did a great job.

The only way to reach an understanding and to get out of the current situation is talks.

The only time we felt he might leave was when the Washington job opened and he obviously didn't take it. I don't think there's any job out there that's better than his situation at Gonzaga. He signed a 10-year contract. He just built a house. There are always rumors, but I don't think he's going anywhere.

The only problem is now when you play a team when you're ranked, they're bringing their 'A' game all the time. Even if it's not a good team, it will make their whole season to knock off someone this high. I don't think we've been in this situation enough to be totally comfortable not being the underdog. I'm actually a little concerned.

There are fixed costs, so the more horses we get, the better the situation is for us. We can handle about 900 horses; we had applications for 1,100.

There are differences between the situation in France and here, but we should not be under the illusion that similar events could not happen in Germany.

We declared it an emergency situation here at Edward Bell so we can just work as quickly as possible. That's the biggest thing is getting (students) back to school.

We debated long and hard about the issues over remounting. We felt that a ban would be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut and were confident that the welfare of the horse would remain at the forefront of owners', trainers' and jockeys' minds. We will be keeping the situation under constant review and would not rule out any further changes or amendments in the future.

We share the concerns of consumers, and we're dedicated to making the situation right.

We tried that in America. Jimmy Carter gave us price controls on natural gas. Remember what it gave us? Shortages, shutdowns, a horrible situation in parts of the country where factories couldn't operate and people went unemployed. Price caps? Prices caps mean shortages, less energy.

We treat patients from southwestern Pennsylvania with no distinction in terms of their residency and we bill them with no distinction in terms of their residency ... We're filing this suit in the hopes that we can resolve this situation and be treated equally with other hospitals.
