The principle mark of genius is not perfection but originality, the opening of new frontiers.

Arthur Koestler

Mark a defeat for democracy.

Paul Tyler

Everyone's been on us about our defense. That's been our question mark. And today we stepped up.

Matt Riley

The main question mark is how Porsche deals with the unions.

Jens Schattner

To paraphrase Mark Twain, our demise is greatly exaggerated.

Chris Donlay

To a hacker, you're just an IP address. You get hit because you let yourself be an easy mark.

Ira Winkler

Mark was doing this for money to pay for college.

Stephan Sirard

It's important for me not to have a bad mark on my or my company's reputation. When we release something, it's generally ready to go.

Ryan Jumonville

I'd be concerned about his handicap mark. He could run well against very good horses without winning, and for the sake of showing he isn't good enough to run in a Gold Cup, we could mess up his chance to win a big handicap.

Philip Hobbs

Don't put a question mark where God has put a period.

Joel Osteen

Mark your calendar. Like every year at this time, we all get together and come down and we have a good time.

Kathy Morgan

To have doubted one's own first principles is the mark of a civilized man.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

The search for the truth for truth's sake is the mark of the historian.

B. H. Liddell Hart

Being compared to Ian Thorpe, that could be one of the greatest compliments you could ever get in swimming - being compared to him and Mark Spitz.

Michael Phelps

He would have no motive whatsoever to set a fire. Mark may be the obvious culprit, as in 'the butler did it.' But I've played enough Clue to know that the butler never does it.

Douglas Rappaport

The greatest delight is to mark one's enemy, prepare everything, avenge oneself thoroughly, and then go to sleep.

Joseph Stalin

Overall, you can say the quarter was on the mark.

Bob Djurdjevic

I think it was about as even a game as what you can play. To pinpoint one difference, Mark Blazek played the game of his life.

Kevin Pope

Mark will be out for the rest of the season. That's what the surgeon has told us.

David O'leary

You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I'm there now.

George Clooney

We tend to think that since Mark Baker didn't get it done, it can't get done. I think the biggest obstacle is to convince Republicans this can happen.

Jim Mowen

We don't man-mark anybody. I have never, ever done it in 27 years as a manager and I would never do it.

John Toshack

We'll be able to instantly identify that marking on there and be able to trace it back to the original owner.

Sgt. Wes Foster

We do this as a service to our clients, ... We're not in the exorbitant mark-up business. We're living on margins of 25 percent.

David Lord

That niche is a lot bigger now in the pro game. Strength is always going to be the big thing, the question mark.

Ryan Shannon

It's not so much having a strategy, it's a question of making a mark in the sand: Here's what I believe in, and here's how I'm going to do it.

Russ Dondero

Children and families will have the opportunity to leave their personal mark on the museum and truly make it their own place.

Jennifer Farrington

I guess some people are just destined to make a mark in their field.

Peter Miller

There's not a more deserving man than him. The mark he's left on the community is fantastic.

Bill Beattie

You have a question mark on what's going to happen with Israel in the future.

Brian Henderson

For a long time, the Germans held the deutsche mark as a proof of normality, something that held them together.

Hubertus Pellengahr

My musical director, Mark Cherry, is the most wonderful person who ever lived on God's good green Earth. He's my director, he does the arrangements. Really, he does everything - including certain janitorial chores!

Brett Somers

It really does. After the first game, I was really impressed that we were able to do it. In every second half around the eight-minute mark it was like a surge just started. I'm glad it happened that way.

Hannah Kirk

It is the mark of great art that its appeal is universal and eternal.

Clive Bell

One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these distinctions. Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the other, are great things born.

Antoine de Saint Exupery

Now she is in touch with a victim's advocate. I am confident that Gov. Mark Sanford's office is aware of this (case) and I know something will be done now.

Ivy Reaves

I went and looked at all Mark's work. He can get huge laughs and not imitate Jim Carrey. The bonus is the emotional reality of Mark. It's a given that he'd be there in a crunch for his leading lady.

Leslie Dixon

This powerful film has met the mark.

Robert Horton

The mark of a good musical is songs that leave the audience humming as they leave the theater, and this certainly has that.

John Olive

This is huge, and it's certainly the mark of the beginning of a trend in food service toward organic.

Jake Lewin

Not by any effort of his own, it looks like Mark Sanford finally has a good economic development team for South Carolina.

Joe Erwin

I use that team as a bench mark. The kids were really committed. Their work ethic created the opportunity.

Mike Tracy

The defense was a question mark coming in. But their effort has been great. They've done everything we've asked them to do.

Joe Ross

The government is shirking from its duty to look after everyone equality and marking some workers down for illness and worse.

Paul Kenny

He was a very compassionate and thoughtful man who left his mark on this area.

Jeff Stone

Analysts are not way off the mark anymore, so companies don't have to talk them down.

Charles Blood

I think the NBA deal is kind of a question mark because it extends out very long, we don't really know where the NBA is going to be in four years.

Seth Martin

On my income tax 1040 it says 'Check this box if you are blind.' I wanted to put a check mark about three inches away.

Tom Lehrer

When you don't work for a while, immediately you get a little black mark next to your name.

Lori Loughlin

There is no surer mark of the absence of the highest moral and intellectual qualities than a cold reception of excellence.

Philip James Bailey

The $1 trillion mark has always been something to achieve, and others have come close. But it must be pretty heady to be the first $1 trillion asset manager. Not even the behemoths like Vanguard can say that.

Denise Valentine

We won the West Branch League in 1956, 50 years ago. That's the only banner we've got. Up until this year, they said they didn't know basketball existed. Our boys wanted to do something to leave their mark, though.

Nick Tagliaferri

That's when Mark kind of magically showed up.

David Hagen

He always said Mark was going to be a world champion.

Henry Ramirez

It was a bit like going from the Swiss Franc or the German Mark to the Euro.

Rob Norman

There's not a mark on his face. There's not a mark on his arms. There's only a mark on his side. It's a miracle he's out of there.

Rick Mcgee

I don't think it's too early to lay that on him, ... He has the skill set to compete against the best in the world. To join figureheads like Perdita (Felicien) and Mark (Boswell) ... that would be fantastic. The more we have as Canadians, the better off we will be.

Tyler Christopher

We also keep the prices fairly low, and if something doesn't sell, we mark it down and get it sold.

Debbie Lund

May copper seems to have its sights set on the $3 mark.

Dale Doelling

She did a good job of staying patient and not getting frustrated. She let the game come to her, which is the mark of a veteran player.

Andrew Booth

It was a good team effort, and we played with a lot of energy. I challenged the players after the loss to Irving, and a mark of a champion is how a team bounces back. And we did that.

Brad Chasteen

Mark did a spectacular job for us during some of the most difficult periods in our financial markets.

Rob Feckner

Mark is the number one leader on this team.

Chris Cappelletti

We're marking the water level to see if it's coming up, because if it is we're going to leave.

Perry Peake

You can't clean your own house when you are under a question mark.

Clayton Ruby

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright.

Bible

I dream that there will be a question mark over the winner of the Tour until the very end.

Christian Prudhomme

I know who Mark Buehrle is. I knew it would be tough. We got ahead and put up some runs and from there I was just trying to protect the lead.

Johan Santana

It feels awesome. Our team's leaving a mark on River Dell. We'll be remembered for something.

Alyssa May

I just think it's pretty sad for everybody, Mark included, when a former leader of our party behaves in this way.

Kevin Rudd

Some areas could hit the freezing mark for an hour or so. Maybe a degree lower.

Dan Gregoria

The truest mark of being born with great qualities, is being born without envy.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

He wore a beard. That was enough to mark him as a radical.

Hayan Saad

Mark told me worship is very important because it helps the students learn how to pray.

Juan Devevo

That belt got loose. That buckle (mark) lasted until December. He whipped first and talked later.

Anne Murray

The fans were getting into the game after that three. So that run that Mark gave us was huge in stopping them from getting back in the game.

Dustin Maguire

It's a reactively new management team that's trying to make its mark on the company. It's not same Duke it was a few years ago.

Michael Knott

They have been playing exceptionally well. They're a young combination developing. Our lineout has been good and it's got a lot to do with Anton Oliver, who has really been hitting the mark. That combination will be crucial again.

Greg Cooper

Look at each seasonal forecast, you will see they are very close to the mark.

Brad Bohlander

When you lose someone like Mark (Lyons), who is a starter, of course it is going to have an effect. But that isn't why we lost. Albany played great, played tremendous defense, and forced us into turnovers.

Mark Sausville

Mark really stepped it up tonight. He has become more of a leader the last two weeks. He came up with some big points tonight.

Kent Smith

I said, 'Mark, didn't you know that my love for you was not conditional upon your becoming a doctor? That I loved you because you're Mark, and because of how you have treated Lori?'

Thelma Soares

You could see the teeth marks. It was an obvious bite mark. It was a despicable act. Our player has no doubt who bit him.

Jerry Holland

Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you.

George Whitefield

If there is a dollmaker in the world, I know them. Mark is among the top, absolutely. He works harder than any artist I know.

Jack Johnston

This has been the hardest title I have won and Mark is the hardest finalist, this is the guy for the future. I am over the moon to win it again.

Phil Taylor

She's going to make her mark here on campus in other ways than just basketball.

Bud Childers

Marriage laws, the police, armies and navies are the mark of human incompetence.

Dora Russell

Our question mark is in the back. We lost a few and our goalie. We are young in the back, but talented.

Chris Shaw

I haven't told Mark to hurry up because I don't want to rush him, and I don't want to deal with a by-election.

Scott Alberts

I use a special pen to mark bumps on the washer and dryers and other appliances. With them, I can do everything myself.

Betty Bruce

Any time you see a balanced scoring column like that, that's a mark of a good team.

Craig Pippen

There is a huge question mark. If there is, if people had a tiny bit of immunity, the vaccine would boost it.

Dr Jim Robertson

I was not looking forward to those yellow flags; they just gave (Martin) a chance to catch up with me. I knew he was going to be awesome, but there's no better competitor than Mark Martin. I knew he wasn't going to take me out.

Matt Crafton

It seems to mark these kids for later victimization. And that only made them more submissive.

David Schwartz

I think that we got a little confused in our marking with our system; we were holding back instead of stepping up.

Char Morett

We don't man mark anybody.

John Toshack

Up front we're not bringing back any big scorers, so that's a question mark. We have to see who's going to be able to put the ball in the net.

Ted Moriello

Mark my words: we're going to put up a lot of runs this year.

Jack Hannahan

The referee saw what we did, that Mark had made good contact with the ball and the disappointing thing was that he then allowed the linesman to dictate to him.

Roy Aitken

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.

Washington Irving

The day that municipalities are barred from enforcing housing codes will mark the end of suburbia as we know it.

Steve Levy

It's when a fruit is growing on a tree and a twig or leaf brushes against the fruit as it's maturing and leaves this mark. It's a characteristic of a lot of oranges you never see.

William North

Committed volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Lives are changed in this community because of their work ? what an amazing mark to leave on the place you live.

Kari Ridder

Here we are, 10 years after Harry Green's mark, and it's another UT runner gunning for the record.

John Conley

A lot of our opportunities were good, and then we hit the ball right at the keeper. That's something we'll need to improve on. We didn't mark up in some dangerous areas and it ended up costing us.

Glenn Crooks

It was hard for me because I've never played Mark before and I was expected to win.

Stephen Hendry

I think these numbers should give Congressman Mark Foley reason to consider making a run.

Clay F. Richards

The point for next week is whether or not the Nikkei will be able to break the 13,000 mark.

Tsubasa Ihara

No one is better at what they do than Mark is. He's the best.

Mark Newman

Unfortunately our concerns were right on the mark. We would have been happy to be wrong.

Jude Walsh

That's significant because when it crosses the 140-degree mark, it will be the first hurricane since late August 2003 in the Central Pacific.

Jim Weyman

[Shapiro] ran a holding operation and was never able to put his mark on NBC News, ... NBC News hasn't fallen apart under him, but it hasn't been forward-looking or innovative.

Andrew Tyndall

It was like the ghost of racing past. I knew it was going to come down to that. ... I can't believe I lost, but Mark is the guy to beat when you're racing IROC.

Kurt Busch

We would like to put it out to the campus: Mark my words, if you sell drugs, you are eventually going to get caught.

Roy Giorgi

I hate to lose a board member like Mark. The children of Glynn County are going to be losing a real advocate.

Laverne Cooper

We expect that 2005 was the high-water mark. Interest rate levels are the key factor.

Gregory Klump

I didn't know it until (Mark) Kotsay said if you get the chance, keep on running. I don't think I got a hit after that. So it's Kotsay's fault.

Mark Ellis

I'm looking forward to the 200m and will stamp my mark there.

Marlon Devonish

We gained the lead briefly in the fourth quarter, at the six-minute mark, and didn't take care of the ball and failed to come up with some key rebounds.

Mark Terlip

This hunt, compared with what my parents went through, was nothing. There are moments that leave their indelible mark, but I'm alive.

Denise Epstein

I have to follow through, keep my arm straight and my speed up. I have to focus on my mark, but not concentrate too hard.

Nikki Mcclinton

The mark of a good hitter is sometimes knowing when not to swing. We didn't chase bad pitches and allowed them to help us score runs.

Charlie Warner

When I talk to Mark I have to constantly remind myself that he's just 13. And the Clearly family truly needs this blessing.

Brenda Davis

This is the part of the season where you have to step up. It's all or nothing. I'm happy for Mark.

Jeremy Cannon

It meant as much to me to give a big hit as it did to score a big goal. And to leave a mark for being that kind of player is special to me.

Cam Neely

Mark knows how tough 152 will be in the WPIAL tournament, but feels he can compete with those guys. And so do I.

Bryan Brainer

He really was a major contributor to the American sports scene and to the changing times in sports history -- Mel Allen left his mark.

Stephen Borelli

Jim was a brilliant man who brought tremendous leadership, energy and passion to his job. He made an indelible mark on McDonald's system.

Andrew Mckenna

We all agree that pessimism is a mark of superior intellect.

John Kenneth Galbraith

I think it's the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations.

John Mcenroe

I got to know Mark during the campaign, and he is a good guy. I think he has a grasp of the issue, and we both agree that something needs to be done. I look forward to working with him on the project.

Bo Dedeker

'What's My Age Again?' -- that's really Mark, ... He's 27 and rolling around on the floor naked. We're always like, 'How old are you?'

Tom Delonge

The mark of a good leader is to know when it's time to follow.

Susie Switzer

We have all the respect for Carroll and they will be back. Mark it down. They're playoff-tough.

Rodney Roberts

Bob Hope, like Mark Twain, had a sense of humor that was uniquely American, and like Twain, we'll likely not see another like him.

Dick Van Dyke

Our forwards were very disappointing. They have to step up to the mark.

John Connelly

Mark is a big contributor to our team this year.

Nate Shekeryk

Governor Jeb Bush, Attorney General Charlie Crist, State Attorney Mark Ober, we are waiting. We are watching, but not for long.

Gabriel Pendas

It's not every day that you get to see an implosion. It usually dies a slow death, claw mark by claw mark. The coliseum, I guess it's going to give its last performance with a big bang. It will be very exciting.

Jim Staniewicz

Breaking a glass in the Northwest is rather like belching in Arabia, for it appears to be done as a mark of appreciation or elation.

Jonathan Aitken

We are very happy to be reporting that our pro-forma earnings passed the $1 billion mark for the first time.

John Chambers

We had our chances in the beginning, we didn't put them in. It was poor marking on us on the corner kick, and they took advantage of it.

Neil Roberts

It hit me -- it took a while -- but it hit me. This was my last chance to make a mark. The only person who can beat me out here is me.

Scott Giffin

In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute.

Francis Schaeffer

We knew Mark could be funny. Good actors can do anything, and we knew how good he is as an actor. But I think we were amazed at how gifted he is comically.

Laurie Macdonald

They would be pleased, flattered, thrilled. They were very conscious of making their mark forever.

Jonathan Stamp

We will mark February 01 as black day as press freedom was snatched and censorship was imposed on that day.

Bishnu Nisthuri

The U.S. dollar is lower, putting up the mark and associated currencies and hitting European exporters.

James Cornish

I love that man. Mark has really solved the problem that plagued that project.

Bob Risch

The helmet has a slight tyre mark on the back of it, but I didn't lose consciousness and I've hit my head harder just in a normal crash.

Troy Corser

Hey, Mark, you can't see the tornado now.

Ralph Moore

But you can see that Mark Foley thinks the customer is the lobbyists, the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies ... (because) that's where the benefits are going.

Tim Mahoney

It was the hardest golf course I had ever played, ... I never bent over and fixed a ball mark. There weren't any. It was brutal. Then we got rain and it just destroyed the course... but it made us feel a little bit at ease.

Fred Couples

We're a big check mark on everybody's schedule, ... I told them it's just another challenge, let's go after it.

Dick Butkus

Mark brings a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to practices as well as games. Not only does he have this great experience, not only does he have this great mind, but certainly the kids feed off this energy.

Carl Hunckler

Mark and Luke are living rebuttals to the claim that embryos are not people, ... We plead with you not to fund their slaughter.

John Borden

Stop Walter Berry or go home. (St. John's guard) Mark Jackson was good, but he couldn't beat us.

Sonny Smith

When Mark gets going, ... it's impossible to stop that man.

Red Wings

We're basically marking time into the PPI and CPI numbers.

Don Galante

Investors are edgy and nervous. That tends to mark the beginnings of rotation.

Ozan Akcin

It seems like the final little check mark for this year. I think it'll be the last.

Martin Nelson

We need to learn to mark up better. We got frustrated that they were getting opportunities and forgot about what we were doing. It worked for us then we fell apart.

Tracey Morrill

Mike's been shooting really well and he had two big ones. Mark had a couple as well.

Nate Hoffmann

Going forward, we expect revenues to cross the two billion dollars mark at 2.14 billion dollars by March 2006.

Nandan Nilekani

I think we thought we had the game in hand and maybe got a little complacent. To be honest we just didn't mark that well and they capitalized on those situations. Hopefully it was a big lesson.

Armondo Cima

He's earned the award. The company has done well, the stock has done well. They've delivered clean quarters since he's come aboard. He's had an opportunity to stretch a bit, and make his mark.

Joanne K. Wuensch

We've got a little ways to go. We are marching toward that ($55-$60 million) mark.

Kevan Pipe

Mark is a very confident person, ... He's the type of guy, when he gets into a little bit of a zone, he lets it go. He's not afraid.

Bruce Summerhays

There is no fundamental reason driving prices back up. Market participants felt that the 60 dollar level is an important mark and dropping below 60 is too much of a fall.

Victor Shum

Mark Mann's done a great job. I've never had this and, knock on wood, he's pretty much knocked it completely out. I don't like being in the training room, except to make fun of some guys every now and then.

Kent Mercker

Mark has identified that he would like Lee on a permanent basis.

Barry Fry

I still don't know a timetable. Hopefully, when it's comfortable for Mark in this process, it will all work out.

Jim Schaus

It was Mark. He took control. He set standards that had never been set.

Chris Elliott

I have no feel for it at all. This Legislature on the abortion issue is a big question mark.

Dorinda Bordlee

Mark is the ultimate gym rat. He plays a lot of basketball. And he's just fearless on the floor. He's not afraid to go up against anyone. And he's done a great job for us.

Greg Lowell

In marking the establishment of our churches and parishes, we are not just commemorating long past events, we are celebrating the living faith which inspired those actions, and which continues to inspire, guide and sustain us today.

Sean Brady

We track it and that's our new peak, ... We hadn't had anything close to (the previous mark) in the last five years.

Scott Mccloud

What I'm hearing is that more and more we are topping the $3 a gallon mark in Texas.

Rose Rougeau

Mark was inside, in a small bathroom by the entry.

Vicki Crompton

She is very creative, and more importantly, has the right attitude for an attacker. We feel she will make her mark up top and will score goals for Eastern Michigan.

Scott Hall

Mark is a very, very dedicated dad. In that sense, it didn't come as a total surprise.

Ken Flaten

Matt came up big. He made a huge move at the halfway mark. We wouldn't have won without him.

Bill Haberek

It was a black mark on me. I had a chance to get drafted and get like a $50,000 or so bonus, but I didn't even get drafted and I think that definitely was a big part of it. I think it was better for me in the long run, though, because as a free agent, I could pick the best team for me to go to.

Stephen Cooper

They caught us in a bad position. We got the marking mixed up.

Claudio Suarez

It's very easy to be a little bit off the mark. And going into new categories, you multiply that risk a little bit.

Sally Wallick

There are a lot of good commercials ... but having said that, do we really remember the brand name and what it's all about? Any commercial that makes its mark and can be remembered gets over its first hurdle.

Mike Bernacchi

If that does not illustrate how off-the-mark our military and intelligence community was in the months leading up to 9/11, I don't know what does.

Kristen Breitweiser

I think we were tired. We have a pretty short bench, and our marking wasn't near as good as it was in the first half.

Shawn Mcelroy

Mark brought the level of hockey to another dimension in New York. When they won, it just felt like we won.

Rod Gilbert

I did all of this in Colorado. To go from being almost given away to being able to do that ... You want to be able to leave a mark in this game.

Gabe White

The ball was foul, and you could see the mark where it hit the ground on the other side of the base. The umpire called it foul and changed his mind.

Mendy Cole

The momentum for the commodity is going up and if spot prices break the $600 mark, they will probably continue to go up.

Victor Flores

It is a mark of soulfulness to be present in the here and now. When we are present, we are not fabricating inner movies. We are seeing what is before us.

John Bradshaw

We regret any embarrassment to Stephen or Mark as a result of the item's broadcast.

Martin Crowe

In historical terms Rachel has already made her mark.

Mark Francis

Whenever you have seniors you hate to see them go. I know it was a special night for Mark and Jason.

Tom Borrelli

It's a bigger thing to everyone else than it is to Mark and I.

Gordon Elliott

Not true. Mark has been cleared, from what we've been told. He was the head coach and should have known, but that hasn't changed anything.

Lew Perkins

The mark of fear is not easily removed.

Ernest Gaines
