Agree Quotes
I agree with the Treasury's interpretation that dividends to shareholders and share buybacks are not permissible uses of repatriated funds, ... I am also of the view that the statutory language makes it clear that the repatriated monies are to be used for domestic job growth, not for laying off employees or settling lawsuits.

Absorb Quotes
He didn't have an agenda. He wasn't really interested in hearing details about the CIA. He wanted to know how I approached various personal crises in my life. Working in the CIA and seeing the worst of life, you tend to have a very dark view of things and that's what he started to absorb from me. That's what you see on screen.

Billy Quotes
I would think (general manager Billy Beane) doesn't want to pay someone $1 million to play at Triple-A, but my wife and I talked for about two days about it and we couldn't leave that money on the table. I have to provide for my family. The way I view it, it puts pressure on them -- if they don't want to pay me $1 million, maybe they can pick up part of it and move me somewhere else.

Basic Quotes
I would not read too much into the record at this point, ... The Canadian market's been doing very, very well this year. It's doing well for all the right reasons: strong earnings, basic good environment for equities. I expect we'll see more records this year but today's doesn't change the overall view much.

Architect Quotes
John has distinguished himself with his sound judgment and great leadership skills. He will be a key architect in helping us continue as innovators as we chart our course to higher profitability. ... He always takes a big picture view to everything he does while bringing a great deal of wisdom, knowledge and patience to all matters he deals with; qualities that make him the perfect choice to work side by side with me in running the business and operational areas of the network.

Dangers Quotes
I think the Fed is on hold tomorrow and for the foreseeable future. We've actually been proponents of the view for quite a while that the economy was going to moderate, and it was important for the Fed to be patient. And one of the dangers was if the Fed kept raising rates, that they would slow the economy a lot more than they would want. So we think that there are enough signs of moderation that the Fed will remain on hold, and we think that signs of moderation will continue. So we think the Fed will be on hold through the end of this year and into early next year.

Born Quotes
I was born in Swindon... a place that always looked west. I found that wherever I go I love to have a room with a view of the western sky. My late brother and I, when we were small, had a room at the back of the house that overlooked the sunset; and both for he and I it was kind of magical.

Again Quotes
I think we're going to again surprise the world with how the U.S. does. They view our performance in Salt Lake as an aberration. I think our athletes and our national governing bodies, both individually and collectively, are out to prove that their performance wasn't an aberration that we are collectively a winter sports power in the world.
-
Begin Quotes
I think we have to at least openly consider at what point we can bring our troops home or, at least, to begin to bring our troops home. Not only from the point of view of making sure there is support from the American people for this continued effort but also to consider whether the large presence of American troops here could contribute to or feed the insurgency and whether in any way it makes it more difficult for a government of national unity to be created.
-
Brutal Quotes
I think it was a brutal time filled with people who were strangely sophisticated and uncivilized. Over the years movies tended to take a Victorian gentleman's view of this world ù all marbleized sets and men. But Caesar was a great warrior and writer and a war criminal, by our definition. ...There was a dichotomy between sophistication and viciousness that was specifically Roman.
-
Appalled Quotes
I think they were watching the movie 'Patton' when they should have been watching 'The Battle of Algiers' about urban insurgency. I'm a Vietnam-era journalist. I think most journalists were appalled as we moved toward war in Iraq. The worst mistake this administration made was not about weapons of mass destruction. It was the administration's view that we'd be welcomed as the great liberator.

Appear Quotes
It is one of our perennial problems, whether there is actually a God. From the Hindu point of view each soul is divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call. Just as cinematic images appear to be real but are only combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety a delusion. The planetary spheres, with their countless forms of life, are naught but figures in a cosmic motion picture. One's values are profoundly changed when he is finally convinced that creation is only a vast motion picture and that not in, but beyond, lies his own ultimate reality.

Beautiful Quotes
It is open, free to the public. Come down to view these beautiful snow geese as they are sitting on a reservoir just outside of Delta called Gunnison Bend Reservoir. And we have a big tent set up here and the city has helped us get some nice facilities there and there are booths and crafts and it is fun to come out and see the birds and mingle with the people here.
-
Bar Quotes
I think the administration lowered the bar a bit too far. And if the deal is implemented as it currently stands, in my view there will be some negative implications for our global non-proliferation efforts. I think we'll have a harder time persuading other countries to tighten the rules while we're urging them to make exceptions.
-
Ceremony Quotes
It is never easy to prepare the games, but what counts is what is happening from the day of the opening ceremony and not what is happening before. I am definitely not having a negative view of it. The least problems you can have in the preparations the better, but the proof is in the eating.

Came Quotes
I was with my dad 20 years ago as he was dying. I was there at the moment of his death, and I kept wondering the whole while what it must feel like from his point of view to still be there thinking, hearing all that was going on as people came and went, and life continued all around him.
