Privatization does not mean you abdicate your responsibility.

Mark Fontaine

That's golf. I mean, sometimes you show up and play well, and sometimes you don't.

Robert Rohanna

We have a very arts-rich curriculum. I could get rid of all that. But if I increased my test scores, does that mean a student is better educated? No.

Tony Gerlicz

I'm not mean, just aggressive.

Harvey Martin

We did hear those comments, but that's his personality. He probably didn't mean it to be malicious. We weren't too worried about it.

Arron Afflalo

He was wrong to do that. That doesn't mean he committed a crime.

John A. Macdonald

A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than [being] a mean little flame.

Boris Yeltsin

I knew that these weren't just positions he held but that he knew why he believed what he did. His beliefs weren't hastily considered, but very carefully considered, ... Just be as mean and rough as they said you were.

John Dean

They're better than us, I mean, they are flat-out better than us. They just kept executing and throwing waves of kids at us. We gave everything we had, unfortunately, our tank was empty by the end of the game.

Jason Buckley

There was a 14-month-old, there was a 4-month-old, I mean, just babies.

Judith Campbell

You know, the history of California art doesn't start until about 1961, and that's when these photographs start. I mean, we have no history out here.

Dennis Hopper

When we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract.

Anthony Burgess

I think that would mean we'd be both pretty far down the road. They're fun, why not?

Chris Braier

It's an unbelievable feeling. I mean, big league guys play here all the time, and now we get to play on the same field.

Ted Ratliff

It just feels great to come out to the ballpark and have every game mean something.

Carlos Beltran

It was hard to believe people could be that mean and hurtful just because you wanted to make a living.

Susan Jones

Frankly, their demeanor is going to mean more than what they say.

Chip Babcock

Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of beauty - beneath its covering - that you will find earth but cloaks your heaven.

Fra Giovanni Giocondo

They're desperately searching for meaning in their lives but they will not crack the Bible open.

Victoria Jackson

Just because a marketplace gets crowded doesn't mean that it will have a negative impact on sales. The market is certainly growing based on the demographics.

Andrew Mcdonald

To have methane, you have to have water. And the new design of landfills should mean you have substantially less methane.

Mark Gebhart

'Popular' is supposed to mean you have a lot of friends. But now it's come to the point that the popular girls are the cliquey girls, and they are exclusive. They won't be friends with anyone who is a little different from them, and they won't interact with anyone who is not in their group.

Dana Convissar

We want to show our firefighters what they mean to us, and working to give back to them in any way we possibly can.

Jeff Thomas

I was looking for something. I mean, I'd begun practicing yoga and, you know, I was looking for the answers to life. ... I know there's more to life than making lots of money and being successful and even getting married and having a family.

Kabbalah

Doing love scenes is always awkward. I mean, it's just not a normal thing to go to work and lay in bed with your co-worker.

Denise Richards

I sometimes think of us as a gang of mean little old ladies in a combination rest home and obstacle course.

Roger Zelazny

The body was being given all the publicity, so you had the world athletic championships, you had rugby championships, you had football championships -- and where was the brain? I mean, the brain was at the head of all these bodies.

Tony Buzan

Life anit always what it seems to be, and words can't express what you mean to me.

P. Diddy, Puff Daddy

We fully respect the government's concerns about terrorism. That does not mean, however, that the constitution disappears at the border.

Christopher Dunn

And he said, 'No, I only have a professional relationship with her,' ... I said, 'Oh, what do you mean?'

Susan Levy

Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.

Kent Nerburn

I never expected to hear something like that, I mean you don't hear about people from here that are in the war.

Brandon Lee

It's making the Dow more meaningful, more representative of the stock market.

Spiros Segalas

We're only halfway done. We've had a great first (half), but those don't mean anything if you miss the playoffs.

Jarret Stoll

We saw in him an ally, there's no doubt about it. But this does not mean anyone will move to organize opposition at all.

Mustafa Hamarneh

One of the cardinal rules of office dating is, 'never date a direct report', meaning both those above you and below you.

Julianne Balmain

It's amazing to sit at a table with people who are idols of mine, ... I mean, God bless, Barry Hannah was at that table. I've been trying to do a Barry Hannah imitation in fiction forever. I can't do it.

Michael Knight

You have to hold onto your dreams and never give up. You may not accomplish what you want at a certain age. That doesn't mean it will not happen. Keep on trying.

Joyce Williams

Usually there are bodies around the villages. There are mass graves outside. When I say mass graves, I mean large pits in the earth, maybe 10 to 20 bodies in them, and these pits, 20 to 30 pits around the villages.

Phil Cox

It's meant to be told to people, little kids, and old people, because it kind of has different levels of meaning, depending on where you're at.

Jeff Goldblum

I mean I gave Brian a refrigerator.

Bonnie Eidt

I knew I'd conquered America when Mike Tyson told me I was one mean lady.

Anne Robinson

All that passes is raised to the dignity of expression; all that happens is raised to the dignity of meaning. Everything is either symbol or parable.

Paul Claudel

Companies try to be mean and tight from a staffing perspective.

Larry Swanson

Evolution is an organizing principle and when we call it a theory, we mean it's a theory, we don't mean that it's a belief that someone holds.

Alan Leshner

I mean, they sort of refused to come to the table with any incremental capital. They would have loved for us to be acquired — just get their money out and be gone.

Donna Dubinsky

I know the only reason I made it anywhere in hockey was because I was a fighter. I know that was my role. I made it to the NHL doing that. If I don't fight again in my life that doesn't mean I'm not a tough guy.

Mel Angelstad

Dogs by nature are not mean. Dogs - you have to make mean.

Sen. Charles Hawkins

The memorial took on a new meaning. It will have tremendous history lessons for generations to come.

Davis Newman

I am not sure if we should take (them) to mean his expression of disapproval.

Yoshinori Katori

It's a rivalry for us because we hang out a lot. It doesn't mean as much for the kids as it does to us.

Russ Witzig

The reality is, kids today ... may in fact have sampled drugs some time in their life. Does that mean we should automatically disqualify them? I don't believe so.

William Bratton

Just because I have rice on my clothes doesn't mean I've been to a wedding. A chinese man threw up on me.

Phyllis Diller

He had a great spring, I feel good about John. But that doesn't mean he's out of the forest.

Jeff Stoutland

We have literally waited decades -- and I mean decades -- to have a hotel in St. Paul. It is a dream come true for Westin.

Sue Brush

This one didn't mean anything. Just us surviving. Tomorrow's game is for all the marbles.

Mike Bryant

They didn't know each other. The victims just happened to stop for gas . . . whether it was a mean look or something that was said, we don't know.

Angela Bozorth

We have to be very careful about stereotyping. This doesn't mean that these youngsters' .

Dr. Robert Greene

They're ridiculous. They're absurd. They're really mean-spirited without any findings.

James Cobb

More involvement would also mean that the government would be able to better manage migration movements and that the burden on the UNHCR would be less.

Monique Sokhan

We talk about passion, but what does that mean?.

Mal Meninga

This is a great Happy New Year from the governor, and we thank him. What that will mean on average is a $90 bump for our families.

Jim Nolan

Acts of God. That doesn't mean they won't, but they're not required to.

Anthony Black

The world has changed. But what those two were trying to do in 1976 was wrong, I mean just flat-out wrong. It was wrong then and as far as I'm concerned it's wrong now.

Rick Monday

A contract doesn't mean you're contractually obligating your friends to do certain things. What you're doing is, you're contractually protecting all the work you're doing together, so that no one else can come in.

Alex Saavedra

Girls are so queer you never know what they mean. They say No when they mean Yes, and drive a man out of his wits for the fun of it.

Louisa May Alcott

This doesn't necessarily mean Alex is leaving Arkansas. Arkansas is still very much in the mix, but he's in the process of evaluating what's best for his future.

Chris Mortensen

I mean, I never thought that Culpeper, Virginia - that I was going to love it this much. It has so many great characteristics about it.

Liza Tichenor

Obviously, this has taken on a whole new meaning for me. The approach I've taken this year, and from here on out, will be much different.

Greg Mcdermott

Some of it has to be passed on, and they expect it, and when I say they, I mean all of us are consumers.

Doug Wilder

I don't need to belabor it. I love where I'm at. I love what I'm doing. I've got a contending team. Just because I had a history with them and because I talked with them doesn't mean that I want to coach.

Rudy Tomjanovich

Our goal was basically to make sure the voters clearly knew what the amendment would mean and what it would do.

Dyana Mason

Weapons are like money; no one knows the meaning of enough.

Martin Amis

Just because you put higher-octane gasoline in your car doesn't mean you can break the speed limit, the speed limit's still 65.

Neil Sheehan

This would mean a lot of business opportunities from this region for aircraft manufacturers in the coming years.

Dinesh Keskar

If the company nears the zone of insolvency, this duty transfers to the creditors from the shareholders and this would mean no dividend.

Mark Bane

Just because he's declaring now doesn't mean he has to run. Look what happened (in the recall campaign) when everybody thought he wasn't going to run and he decided on the Leno show he was.

Sherry Bebitch Jeffe

It doesn't necessarily mean that this time is going to be the same, it means that probably this group is not bent on killing her necessarily.

Lorenzo Vidino

This move doesn't mean fundamental change in the RMB exchange rate formation mechanism.

Hu Xiaolian

There was no meaningful consultation. They were essentially presented with a fait accompli.

Richard Lippes

It may mean that employers look at employees going out of the area and see if they can offer them salary and benefits to keep them at home.

David Hamilton

We can know a lot by (Adams') friends and his loyalty to them, ... In the face of political disagreements and eccentricities, it's an inspiring example of how much friends can mean in life.

David C. Mccullough

I don't think it was deserved. I was not mean, nasty, nothing like that. It happened. That's the way it goes.

Kelly Meek

We need people to fill out all the fields in a meaningful fashion. Everyone ought to know what's going on.

Dr. Jeffrey Drazen

It's really piling on, ... I mean, there aren't many other avenues for us to take. I really don't know what you do.

Brad White

I feel good, but we have a lot of games left to play. I mean, we could lose all 16. We don't plan to do that at all, but right now it just means we won 11 games.

Crystal Kemp

What it's going to mean is some short-term gains, but a long-term disaster. You're going to have less research and development as you get down to probably four major companies.

Lawrence Korb

Rankings really mean nothing at this point. It's going to be a good barometer of where we are early in the season.

Jeremy Fishbein

Those are the places where they will spend the bulk of their time when they are not in class. Facilities mean everything.

Jim Mastro

I didn't mean to shoot her.

Phil Spector

I don't mean to be arrogant, but if we're executing our skills there's not a side that can get close to us.

Matthew Hayden

I mean, don't forget the earth's about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past?

Harold Pinter

You get used to anything - good or bad - and that's the good thing. I mean, if we have a problem we're able to talk it out.

Rusty Anderson

All I told our guys was, 'Back in December, they won the wrong game,' you know what I mean? We'll take this one.

Andre Cook

To actually say that just because a hijacker or two came from the UAE doesn't really cut it. Yeah, sure, but they could have come from any place and they did come from any place. Does that mean that we shouldn't do any business anymore with Egypt? We should cut Egypt off? We should cut Yemen off?

Conrad Raabe

They had to change the focus to what it will mean to the community.

Chad L. Hershner

He'll probably get more meaningful innings now.

Allard Baird

If I go to a match it doesn't mean I want to buy the stadium or the club.

Lakshmi Mittal

If you're asking me if we would have taken that deal, then no, we would not have taken that deal. But that doesn't mean it's a bad deal for Excite.

Charles Wright

Signals like this flash a red light, but they don't necessarily mean anything.

Gareth Williams

It doesn't mean mutation.

Georg Petersen

Ah yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet.

Robin Williams

Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult.

Nadia Boulanger

The Morris Agency knows business. Just because they don't have a big sports representation, it doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing.

Doug Shabelman

Yes, of course I remember that match. It was one of the low points. I mean, unfortunately, I had a lot of low points at the Grand Slams.

Ivan Ljubicic

To get to the final would mean everything.

Cameron White

Older workers are not as motivated by income but by meaning.

David Delong

At the fifth 'Good question!' they begin to feel it doesn't mean anything.

Jay Crotts

There was a message that said something like 'Ryan couldn't wait'. I'm like, 'What does that mean?', then it clicked.

Karl Muggeridge

This will simply mean more delays.

Paul Budde

My house is run, essentially, by an adopted, fully clawed cat with a mean nature.

Anthony Bourdain

This latest admission from Ian Blair that he could have and should have acted in a certain way does mean that he's lost what little public confidence there was.

Asad Rehman

That's huge. I mean this guy hits a double there, then we are down 4-0 instead of 1-0.

Josh Beckett

Anyone who even goes near steroids has to be crazy. But that doesn't mean performance enhancement is gone. Genetic doping. It's all in the genes. Steroids are history.

Roger Abrams

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone-we find it with another.

Thomas Merton

Jason Baker did a great job. I mean, that's a tough kid. He was more aggressive and offensive on his feet, and keeps getting better every time.

Bob Freund

There's still a lot of uncertainty. Cisco had a good quarter but that doesn't mean that there will be another one out there like this one.

William Becklean

I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.

Alexander Payne

These numbers truly reflect the growing competitive imperative of the Check 21 advantage and our leadership position in the market. And we are now only at the beginning of what Check 21 will mean for banks, corporate customers and the consumer.

Danne Buchanan

I'm delighted of course. The award is all the more meaningful to me because I worked at The Southern Review for so long, and it's a journal that meant and means a lot to me.

Michael Griffith

Children are a house's enemy. They don't mean to be-they just can't help it. It's their enthusiasm, their energy, their naturally destructive tendencies.

Delia Ephron

He was mean. He hurt animals, and he was always that way.

Sandra Mitchell

I mean, I don't hate the kid.

Joey Goodspeed

I'm not a very good player, to be honest. I've tried to play the game and especially to get familiar with the characters better. I mean, it's really an amazing game, having just a limited sort of knowledge of it that I have.

Radha Mitchell

Everybody likes to hit somebody, they're just mean, ... If you ever see one of our games, you never see just one person making a tackle, there's usually five or six guys hitting whoever has the ball.

Travis Payne

It's got to be significant enough and advantaged enough that it would make a meaningful difference.

Adam Dener

It's a tremendous chance and opportunity. That doesn't mean we're getting everyone out by next weekend.

John Walsh

Honesty has come to mean the privilege of insulting you to your face without expecting redress.

Judith Martin

I want to see it. I mean, I'm not going to see anything. They've cleaned it all up. I just want to go to that area to end it. That's closure for me.

Rocky Starkey

I felt like I had a million little bumble bees buzzing around inside my body. I'm tremendously relieved. I mean, this guy's not out there, not hurting other kids.

Paul Mclaughlin

It has been a long time coming for us and we have worked hard. It is great to play in meaningful games like this. First place in the Big Ten feels good.

Chris Hunter

What does it mean to die when you can live until the end of the world?

Anne Rice

These new jobs will mean rising incomes.

Stephen Happel

Does being a feminist mean that I believe that I'm as good as any man? Yes.

Yasmine Bleeth

She was so intelligent and would grip the meaning of the character. Every discovery she made about a character was supported by the music.

Christopher Hahn

We'd like to play against their very best. Just because we're not doesn't mean we won't play our hardest. (Richmond) is still a formidable team.

Peter Diepenbrock

I mean, all these billions of dollars they've made off of us, you know.

James Hughes

It's not going to get any easier for us. I mean, the schedule only gets tougher. We've got to find a way to win a game.

Al Harris

I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you're making a horror film doesn't mean you can't make an artful film.

David Cronenberg

All sorts of scenarios are floated. That does not mean that any of these ideas will see the light of day.

Robert Dudley

Ethanol plants really mean economic development down at the farm level - and this is great for our livestock industry as well.

Paul Zimmerman

It wasn't just that she was found guilty. She was also found to be mean-spirited.

Robert Passikoff

Most humans feel the transcendent temptation, the emotional drive to festoon the universe with large-scale meaning.

Paul Kurtz

The Deficit Reduction Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 2005 may be something, but it is not law within the meaning of the Constitution.

Jamin Raskin

Can I say 100 percent? I don't know anyone who's any more of a girly girl. I mean, she puts on makeup before every [class].

Suzi Fregosi

This is my last fight of meaningful significance, ... This is my last fight, outside and in the ring, for what I've always stood up for.

Bernard Hopkins

By competitive, I mean not only do we have a chance to win in the fourth quarter, but that we begin to consistently win those type of games, particularly in the conference.

Warde Manuel

Both years, I felt like we were fortunate to win. So you can't bank on last Friday's big 42-0 loss to New Braunfels meaning anything with regard to our game here Friday.

Dean Herbort

Now we're definitely seeing a new paradigm. It doesn't mean the lone-gun hackers are gone.

Christopher Painter

I will give you one last bit of advice because you're going to be independent, naturally. And that is: don't let the fact that you're under heat change any of your views...So just be as mean and rough as they said you were.

John Dean

Amnesty is a big billboard, a flashing billboard, to the rest of the world that we don't really mean our immigration law.

Richard Lamm

Just because the company is making a gift on their behalf doesn't mean their purchase is deductible.

Bennett Weiner

It would mean a lot to accomplish something like that. That record has been for around longer than I have been around.

Tim Hatten

These are not hobby businesses. The substantial number of people in this group are running a growing, meaningful business.

Sharon Hadary

There was a lot of tabloid journalism about my supposed sex addiction. Bullshit. It's all bullshit. I mean, come on, I never pretended to be a saint. But give me a break.

Michael Douglas

With the fate of our airline and jobs hanging in the balance, we believe we should return to the table for meaningful negotiations, and not negotiate through e-mail.

Nick Miller

Skill and power don't mean anything. You need heart and you need everyone on the team believing that they can win.

Alexei Kovalev

I'm fed up with airlines going in and out of bankruptcy. On one hand, I've just become so used to it. Bankruptcy is what airlines do. But on the other hand, I'm upset. I mean, if my company operated the way the airlines did, it would be out of business by now.

Barry Graham

We have more than 30 call centers across the country. That doesn't necessarily mean we'll consolidate into one, but we'll look to create new efficiencies.

Rick Uhlmann

I believe that's just because they have not yet found the issue or issues that move them. That doesn't mean they won't find it though.

Veronica Watson

We try to connect meaning to everything. Otherwise it becomes a practice that's sort of empty, eating pancakes without knowing why.

Diane Archer

When I was covering them, they had nothing and the league knew it. I mean, in 1986 David Archer led the NFC in passing for the first half of the year and that was it.

Chris Mortensen

The man is apt to believe that she's OK with some small gesture. It could mean a small gift or a back rub.

Neil Chethik

Saying goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone

Now is a different time, is a different game, a different business. We are very good team. And when I say team I mean the management of this club.

Roberto Bettega

Expression, to a great extent, is a matter of terms, and terms are anyone's. The meaning of 'God' may have a billion interpretations if there be that many souls in the world.

Charles Ives

Just because I don't do bad things doesn't mean I don't have bad thoughts.

Kristin Kreuk

We went the distance. It was longer than I expected, but that's all right. I mean, whatever it takes.

Russ Grimm

It's a lot of excellent, well-meaning people who have an impossible job to do, ... There's no way they can make both sides happy when they're done with their investigation and filing their report.

Jon Alterman

Not to invest in deep water would not only be irresponsible, it would also mean we couldn't maintain oil production in the medium and long term.

Luis Ramirez

We've had a lot of shots on goal lately. But we've been giving the ball to the goalkeeper or just missing. It's something we've really been working hard on. I mean, if we just made 25 percent of those shots, that would be something.

Bill Unzicker

The big surprise for me is that age is just a number, ... It's a number without meaning. A person who dies at 40 -- through cancer, a car accident, what have you -- how old is that person, really, at 38? He's near the end of his life, whether he knows it or not. And what about a person who dies at 100? How old is that person, really, at 78?

Hugh Hefner

What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good on this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?

J. R. R. Tolkien

Just because you appropriate funds doesn't mean you have to spend them.

Jay Vavricek

We sure do hope to see Fort Campbell again. I just mentioned that to my kids -- if they're No. 1, we're No. 1-and-a-half, and we hope to see them again. It will mean more next time.

Curtis Higgins

The fire is getting bigger but that does not mean that it is a bad thing, sometimes we expect that to occur, but one of the ways that we fight the fire is by actually lighting smaller fires between the containment line and the larger fire.

Julena Campbell

It would mean a great deal not only for Northwest Indiana democrats, but for Democrats all across the state.

Rudy Clay

I'm retarded - I mean I'm retired.

Frank Serpico

A grand coalition would be a very bad solution for Germany. A grand coalition would mean stagnation.

Juergen Thumann

This could mean challenges for some companies; they might see margin contraction.

Tim Albrecht

Just because we went (to Columbia) didn't mean that we were going to change who we are. We were ready to do what we always do when we make music.

Claudio Sanchez

We have entered the fall with much better backlog in place for delivery in the second quarter. We are looking for continued meaningful improvement in both revenue and profitability in the second quarter.

Brian L. Halla

Thank God kids never mean well.

Lily Tomlin

It doesn't mean people will stop driving or demand goes down. But demand slows down.

Bill O'grady

The accompanying window sign proclaims, ''does not mean cheap talk.

Blues Brothers

Having said that, the verdict for the company does not mean these employees were wrong to express their concerns. It's important for employees to feel that their concerns are addressed through meaningful action.

Peter Conte

A group of children were asked, 'What does Memorial Day mean?' And they said, 'It's when the swimming pools open.'

Togo West

Ever consider what pets must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul - chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!

Anne Tyler

Yes, it's meaningful money, ... But it's still a fraction of what was lost.

Nell Minow

Worst case scenario, if you had the new government collapse, civil war completely break out, I mean, those kinds of things. But that's a worst case forecast.

Steve Buyer

That doesn't mean a thing. I want to go undefeated in the state playoffs. We've got to improve if we want that to happen.

Debra Pegram

The new label design makes it easier for doctors to get access to important information about drug safety and benefits, and this in turn will help them have more meaningful discussions with their patients.

Andrew Von Eschenbach

These 10 seconds do not mean anything; for me, they have the same value of the six second bonus Roberto achieved before.

Roberto Heras

Our players are young, and they're hungry. It's bigger than just football around here. I mean, it's football, but it's really, really bigger than that.

Jimmy Williams

It's great to be part of a record-driving year. It's going to mean a lot.

Travis Temple

Though England would have to avoid playing between February and May, clearly. Only joking. I mean, it's not going to be him, though, is it? Are we live? Oh crap.

Gary Neville

We mean business. We've got nine guys. We want to win the championships, and we showed it tonight.

Lyndon Ferns

I'm a Gemini, and I get so bored so easily. I mean, I have moved six times in the last eight years.

Courteney Cox

Our discussions are more meaningful than they have been in a long time and we hope to iron all this out in the next few weeks.

Firefighter David Cummins

We're okay with it, I mean, I know it hurts and going through it again today, it hurts a little bit, but maybe we can do for somebody else to relieve them of this pain.

Scott Meade
