Usa Quotations | Page 4

This is the most difficult schedule that we have had since I've been head coach here. We are playing against SEC, PAC-10, Big 12, Missouri Valley Conference and Conference USA teams.

This is troubling because there are about 35 million contact-lens wearers in the USA and, of those, roughly 25 million or 26 million are soft lens wearers. Basically, everybody who wears soft lenses is at risk for this type of infection.

The result has been a service that looks slick enough, but in fact, offers little in the way of what's really out there. It is also very expensive, far more so than similar services offered in either the USA or Europe. Look at the US where there is competition. In some markets consumers get 500 channels and pay half of what they do here.

It's every city, it gets a little old. It was a decision made by USA hockey. It was completely out of my control, it was completely out of anybody's control. It's something I feel strong about and I'm disappointed but I'm not going to let it affect the way I play for this team.

It's a wonderful feeling, ... I always wanted to put on this jersey. I guess it really started when I loved to watch the USA Hockey team play and being a goalie I really loved to watch Mike Richter. When the Olympics came around, it was Mike Richter time. Then I started loving the Rangers. The city has great fans. It's always been a dream of mine to play in Madison Square garden. Hopefully, it will happen one day.

It's an honor to represent Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. I'm excited to promote international baseball and it's terrific that gamers who pick up Major League Baseball 2K6 will be able to experience the same excitement of the World Baseball Classic.

It's very disappointing, because the people at USA Hockey do a tremendous job. There is a lot of pressure on people. The top people at USA Hockey are volunteers.

Food Force continues to be a great success all over the world, from the USA to China, kids and teachers love this game. They can learn about world hunger while having fun. It is an opportunity for Italian students and teachers to use this education tool without any language obstacles.

It is time for USADA to allow Marion to put this issue behind her once and for all and allow her to do what she does best: train, sprint and jump for gold medals on behalf of Team USA in Athens.

It's good to have solidified another bowl opportunity. We're confident that every year Conference USA is going to have six, seven, maybe eight teams eligible. We're just trying to make sure that we have as many bowls covered as we can have.

Davey brings a great managerial style and major league experience to the position. We're excited to have him lead Team USA into this competition.

Davey brings a consistent managerial style to Team USA that we have not had in recent years.

Dawn is a winner and the ultimate competitor. She has been successful at the highest level as a player for our country. Dawn is a three-time gold medal Olympian, who is respected as no other and a definite leader for our program. She has translated her on-court success into being one of the brightest coaches in our game today. Dawn defines everything 'golden' about USA Basketball, and I am so glad that she will be on the sidelines with me.

Conference USA has been a terrific affiliation for us the last couple years, we want to make Conference USA the best possible conference it can be, ... But at the same time, we want to have a nationally prominent program, and we will always look for a vehicle with which we can achieve that.

Conference USA doesn't expect us to do very well, but we use that as motivation. They put us in last place (in preseason rankings) and we're using that as motivation. It's working pretty well for us during the game.

The best steep terrain in the USA is always reason to ride here. Top it with this year's snowfall, and you should already be on a plane. If that's not enough incentive, consider this: Jackson's iconic aerial tram, known for its access to Jackson's best (steepest, most advanced) terrain and the upper mountain, will be taken down in October. The resort has plans to get riders to the top, but it will likely be years before a new tram goes up.

It's been fun. I played with a lot of these girls in USA Basketball, but I've worked four years and I'm ready to move on to Oklahoma and show what I've learned.

It's an awesome feeling. I've grown up as a player and now as a coach having a lot of pride in my country. I've played overseas professionally and have always had a great appreciation for the U.S. and, in particular, USA Basketball.

It's do-or-die time for T-Mobile USA to get into 3G.

It was kind of a new thing to us, because in Conference USA we'd always been the underdogs. Then we were picked at the top of this conference. (The rough start) wasn't so much a letdown, but media-wise, we didn't meet expectations, or our team's.

I've done a lot for USA hockey. This is really my last chance to be in the Olympics and they took it away from me.

It was a great game. A good bounce-back game for us after losing to Canada yesterday. It showed how much pride we have in USA Basketball. After losing yesterday's game, coming out and being able to play hard today against Puerto Rico, that says a lot.

It was a great event. I give the event an A-plus. The only adjustment I'd make is to bring Team USA together on Feb. 1. I think everyone would do it.

It was pretty tough, but I'm glad I made the decision and I'm proud of it. I'm very proud to play for the USA team. I plan to enjoy it.

The two biggest mistakes USA Hockey has ever made is not having a post-Olympic tour in 1998 and cutting Cammi Granato.

The USA justice system has a long and aggressive extra- territorial reach and will increasingly apply for the extradition of U.K. citizens for allegedly criminal conduct committed against U.K. institutions. There appear to be no legal protections against this at all.

The USA is the biggest difficulty for us now.

The USA have recently done well in the Olympics and the Youth World Cup. So I think there will be some good young players available in the future, and not too expensive which is important to the club.

It was kinda cool - a career highlight. I don't care if it is an exhibition game. To be able to run around the bases with USA across my chest and have ( Ken Griffey ) Junior and Brian Schneider waiting at home plate to slap high-fives. That was special.

Notice how I didn't say our former USA colleague.

It's never been done, so it would be awesome. We've been talking about how it should happen a lot, but when you take the USA vs. the entire earth, it's very hard to get three people on the podium.

It's never been done, so it would be awesome, ... We've been talking about how it should happen a lot, but when you take the USA vs. the entire earth, it's very hard to get three people on the podium.

Any time you have a chance to go out there and play for your country, it's a big deal. You always want to go out there and represent the USA the best you can, especially since baseball is out of the Olympics and this is basically our Olympics.

A pause today is disappointing but understandable, whilst the Bank reassesses the extent of the slowdown in the USA and impact the Budget has on business and consumer confidence,

I'm excited to see two of the best players in Conference USA history lining up against each other for the last time. They've gotten to know each other, and that's an extra piece of this. They get to line up against each other for the last time on national television.

I'm excited to have the USA across my chest. I'm glad they thought I was capable enough to regain our dominance. So I am proud of that, and I am definitely looking forward to it.

I'm extremely happy for both of them. Roberto had a tremendous experience last year. It's an experience you can't understand until you're involved and have USA on your hat. It's a great opportunity for both of them. And it's a tremendous honor for our program to have two players on this team.

In 1982, ESPN was just starting out, as was CNN. Fox, the network, and its Fox News Channel and its regional sports networks didn't exist. No MSNBC or CNBC. No USA Today. The Internet did not exist yet.

I'm not a party animal; I took my job as Miss USA very seriously... Sometimes, of course, I want to let it all go. Even though I'm a beauty queen, you're also an unofficial ambassador, and there's a lot of pressure.

I'm lucky - often I find myself travelling to the USA and Europe for work and pleasure and to Europe or to catch up with my friends.

In 1994, I had an opportunity to play in the Olympic Games and I turned that down to play professional. I never dreamed I'd have a chance to put on a USA jersey, and now I get a chance to do that. I can't think of a better opportunity to play for your country. I think this is the real deal.

I'm not sure if the USA has ever been exposed to this type of tradition. Fans in the USA applaud but are not as wild as they are in Latin America. I don't think all players in the Major Leagues show as much enthusiasm as we do here.

I'm hoping for us, once we don the USA uniforms and everyone sees us on the big screens, they'll have a change of heart and focus on us.

I owe it to the Giants organization, my teammates, and most of all to the fans of San Francisco to give 100 percent this season. I assure you, my decision was not an easy one, but based on my circumstances, I had to put my health and my team first. I wish Team USA the best of luck and even though I won't be in the dugout with them, I'll be definitely be cheering them on to bring our country a WBC title.

If you're going to bet on the numbers, I think it will be USA 131/2, Europe 141/2.

In penalty shooting, it's like a lottery. We had a 16-year-old skating in there and putting the first one in, and the USA had two hit the crossbar. So it's small things that gave us this win.

I just got the feeling - and I'm not trying to speak for the Team USA players - that some of these other teams are a lot more into it. They really, really feel like it's the Olympics for them.

I played with USA Basketball to get in some game-speed shape.

If you're wondering what the USA that your children or grandchildren depending on your age will look like, all you need to do is look around because in a very real sense, the Texas of today is the USA of tomorrow.

I had butterflies. There's something about putting that USA jersey on. It just feels different.

CMGI shareholders were disappointed in the initial market reaction (to the USA proposal), and so was I, ... It's time for us to move on. Lycos is a rock-solid company, and it's time to let Lycos be Lycos.

CLS decided for 2006 and beyond to significantly increase the purse for the USA Nationals and go unsanctioned to guarantee our fans will see all the best dirt late model drivers in the country. Plus, we're not increasing ticket prices.

Being a Tree City USA establishes the point that our government and our community care about trees, and we feel that trees help raise our quality of life.

Cammi is USA Hockey, really. Every single player on our roster has learned something from Cammi Granato and she'll leave that legacy whether she's here or not.

But if USA has 1.3 billion people, USA would have the same human rights problem just like China.

The USA has more people in prison that any other country, including countries with much larger populations. 13% of the population is black but 80% of the people in prison are black, mostly for soft crimes.

Horn Lake is a Tree City USA city, and we're proud of our trees. We wanted to hold something that would encourage our citizens to get out and have a fun day in the park while also celebrating our regular Arbor Day observance.

Hosting this conference will help us attract further Japanese investment and raise Cincinnati USA's global recognition, ... We have collaborated extensively with the State of Ohio and many leading Cincinnati USA and Japanese firms to set a conference agenda spotlighting high-caliber business figures. This elite group's participation will set the tone for a very informative and successful event.

Rather than starting a new inferno in Iraq, our energies would have been better spent in extinguishing the existing fire in Palestine.

By selecting Rudy, we are getting someone who brings impressive credentials. His accomplishments as a NBA player, NBA head coach and as a USA Basketball head coach are tremendous.

I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

You are never going to have, in a country as rich as ours [the USA], that borders a country as poor as Mexico, an end to immigration. You just won't. The question is, if you make it humane and if you make it regulated. It's much better for an American worker to compete against a regulated immigrant inside labor standards, than it is to ever to compete against an illegal immigrant.

How can we help President Obama?

There are a lot of people who believe that the individual can't make it himself. And that's why people want to join up in various herds - herd formation. So you become part of a herd, a group. Group power of some kind. There's an awful lot of group power people in our country [the USA] - Black power, Chinese power, Indian power, woman power. Everyone is putting in together.

Because we [the USA] are so powerful, our failures resonate more. In some ways, the worst victims of our institutional and elite failures, through the ripple effect of financial crisis and war, aren't Americans.

We really don't need the United Nations approval to act. When it comes to our security, we do not need anyones permission.

The course of this nation does not depend on the decisions of others.

I didn't get nervous when I ran, but I get nervous watching other people now. I root for anybody with a USA on their chest.

Every person born in the USA is endowed with life, liberty, and a substantial share of the national debt.

USA have got a comprehensive strategy to not only chase down the Al Qaida, wherever it exists - but to make sure that countries that harbor terrorists are held to account.

Yes, we [USA] can be safe and secure, if we stay on the offense against the terrorists and if we spread freedom and liberty around the world.

[Invading Iraq] would create generations that hated the USA.

To represent the United States in international competition is special recognition that not many players receive and I am really looking forward to helping USA Basketball regain its status in international basketball.

One of the best things that's come out of the Seattle protests is the birth of the Independent Media Center. It's not as though the independent media movement wasn't already there, but it's given it another jump-start. There's the feeling that not only should we report on our underground culture and our own situation, but now we have to start telling people what's really going on at a time when everything from CNN to USA Today is as tightly controlled as Tass or Pravda.

I think President Obama has used the bully pulpit as a way to attack capitalism.

Many of America's historical cornbreads were staple breads for people who didn't have many other options.

But when you come to Heritage USA, remember to bring your Bible and your VISA card - because the Bible is the Holy Truth, and God doesnt take American Express

If they asked me, I would have to say no. I made up my mind to play for the United States some day and I'm sticking to it. (on playing for Ghana)

A lot of players in Europe aren't as tall as the other guys, so they have to be stocky to physically compete.

I feel the pressure but I embrace it. Whatever I have to do to make the sport catch on to other people, I'll do it.

I'm just trying to do whatever is asked of me. I've been thrown into many different positions. Sometimes I'm on the left. Sometimes I'm in the middle. Sometimes I'm up top. So you always have to be prepared. I'm learning a lot so hopefully I can keep getting better and better.

It helps to have someone in the same boat as you... There's a lot of pressure, so it helps to have someone who's also young and famous and has a lot of pressure to succeed.

You know the world's gone mad when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the USA of arrogance and the Germans don't want to go to war !

Every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this.

I am currently talking to one of the studios about making American Star as a TV series.

As the world continues to turn away from the use of the death penalty, it is a glaring anomaly that China, Saudi Arabia, Iran and the USA stand out for their extreme use of this form of punishment as the 'top' executioners in the world.

For the first time, we will be able to offer direct non-stop services between India and the USA and these aircraft will have a unique configuration giving passengers extra space and comfort on their long flights,

This attack has made it clear, beyond all doubt, that the international Communist movement is willing to use armed invasion to conquer independent nations. An act of aggression such as this creates a very real danger to the security of all free nations.

Playing USA Softball has been more to me than I ever imagined possible.

USA Today reports that the number of death row executions this year has hit a 35-year low. They attribute that to DNA evidence clearing more people and the fact that Rick Perry has been on the road campaigning.

Congress and the White House are working out their scheme for pushing through a healthcare 'reform' bill that has more pages than the U.S. Constitution has words. I guarantee you that not a single member of the House or Senate has a complete understanding of that legislation any more than they understood all the implications of the USA PATRIOT Act back in 2001.

Apollo 11 will probably go down in history as one of the major responses of two nations facing each other with threatening technologies - sometimes called mutually assured destruction. It was also the America's response to the apparent superiority of the Russians in putting objects into space before USA could.

With Bolivia, I had hope that a discriminated African-American, with another discriminated indigenous peasant leader, I hoped that together we could work for justice and equality. Not only for just two countries, Bolivia and USA, but for equality around the world.

Why are oil prices so low? First, energy consumption growth rates in developing markets have decreased. This is particularly noticeable in China. Second, new technologies are being developed and the shale gas revolution in the USA has taken place

There are a lot of people who are eager to assign blame. I think we're [USA] eager to try and find some solutions. One thing that would help would be comprehensive immigration reform legislation.

Many girls prepare their whole lives for this one moment. For me, I see Miss USA as an opportunity to reach new and greater heights in the future.

As my family story shows, Latinos have been a blessing for USA for many generations. The future of America depends in part on the success of the Latino community, and this opportunity is just one more signifier of that.

There are definitely racial problems in this country [the USA]. Comedy is a way we can figure out how to solve it, and how to solve it without making people really angry.

An increase in the relative price of products from the low wage manufacturers in Asia and Latin America will also make those products less attractive to American consumers.

There will be over 3,500 killed in USA today from abortion. No flags lowered, no presidents crying. No media hyperventilating. Normal day,
