Executive compensation has really caught the attention of the investing public in a big way in the last couple of years. This case is just another example of that.

Michael Barry

Many around the world are enduring these hardships simply because they practice their faith. They endure mostly in silence and away from the public spotlight and with little hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Frank Wolf

We do not allow campus to be used as a public forum.

Carri Jenkins

I'm not a celebrity. I'm intentionally and defiantly not a celebrity. I don't have any interest in it. I don't have any talent for it. I keep my personal life out of my public life as cleanly as I can.

Charlie Kaufman

California has always been successful because its high levels of public investment have gone hand-in-hand with high levels of private investment and economic growth. We're never going to be a low-wage, low-cost state. So we need to be a high-productivity state, and that involves substantial investments in education and infrastructure.

Lenny Goldberg

It was funny when I heard him say in an interview the other day, 'I'm used to being Public Enemy No. 1,' .

Doug Mientkiewicz

The consumers' trust has been eroded and the EU must restore public confidence in its food science and controls.

David Byrne

Texas functions best when public officials recognize that government does not belong to them but to the people.

Greg Abbott

Drives economic growth by providing businesses with access to new customers, new employee talent and new tax incentives to encourage public transit use.

William Millar

I'll have to wait until then to know where the public stands. We are going to let the public decide what to do with that property.

Councilwoman Esther Sanchez

Those knowledgeable about the issues and facts relating to the proceeding are not going to be able to give all of you in the media information, and they and you won't be able to give information to the public.

Paul Hoffman

Responses are going to be safer and less danger to the public.

Greg Shore

The 'right to know' is more than the right to attend meetings of all boards and commissions. It extends to the records of government as well, and in this case it covers all public officials, not just those on boards and commissions.

Paul Gillies

The issue for the administration is not going to get any better or smoother with time, as the public seems so dead set against it.

Frank Gaffney

I think there's a long list of things, some of which you know about and some of which aren't public, but it was a culmination of things.

Joe Banner

His public record makes him the wrong choice to be attorney general of the United States.

Kate Michelman

They feel that this is the start of being able to tell the public the true story of what happened the night that their son was killed.

Tommy Overton

Unlike most films, it examines a side of a person's life that's hidden, and I think there's a lot of people who carry around a fair amount of darkness and keep it private for a lifetime. The film is about a very public figure and his very private tragedy.

Bennett Miller

My clients have been held up for public criticism for no reason at all — except political motives. If (the town's) answer is a bunch of denials, we'll be in court.

Jonathan Lovett

This is a tragic decision of a medieval monarch, not of a president of a developed democratic state in the 21st century. It isn't a bad bill and it is in the interested of the public to pass it, same as in other European countries.

Jiri Hromada

Our position is that the zoning board does not exist to establish or create public policy.

Matthew O'connell

We are confident in running hotels without (brand) flags but we believe as Daytona Beach is evolving, it is important for the public to see the city endorsed by well-known brands.

Doug Kosarek

The introduction of identity cards will usher in one of the most far-reaching changes in British public life in recent times.

Nick Clegg

We need to educate the public. We have posters up, but some patients have a hard time understanding. We have to educate.

Katrina Otto

It is not in the best interest of Toledo Public Schools.

David Mcclellan

The great secret of doctors, known only to their wives, but still hidden from the public, is that most things get better by themselves; most things, in fact, are better in the morning.

Lewis Thomas

There's been a rift in the Democratic Party about Iraq from the beginning. As the American public changes its views, it makes it easier for these guys (to change).

Amy Walter

These rules serve the important purpose of ensuring that the listening public knows when someone is seeking to influence them.

David Fiske

And we have not taken it to the Board of Regents. Once it is approved with the Board of Regents, it will become public.

Cary Groth

We don't feel that our customers are better served by public disclosure of potential issues. We think that in the general case, people who need to know about issues are the ones that can actually fix the bugs.

Bud Tribble

Schools look to us to find the balance between aesthetics and cost. Public schools typically have tighter budgets.

Deb Michener

We're concerned for the safety of the public, especially motorists in that area.

Bill Brennan

My opinion is that we need a decisive, straight-forward leader of the town who moves the business of the public always as quickly as it could be done.

Charles Meador

Americans are increasingly interested in better understanding Middle Eastern cultures and Muslim Americans want to be better understood. Bridges TV creates a public platform for this dialogue.

Adnan Mirza

Robertson's comments represent a conservative sector of the American public that is highly nationalistic and at times bombastic.

Riordan Roett

My character has a distrust of government as Big Brother, ... He doesn't see why this should be kept secret from the public.

Brent Spiner

Mission accomplished, ... the American public for being so responsive to our pleas and requests for assistance in this investigation.

Brandon Clark

We will immediately begin a broad, statewide effort to educate voters about this amendment and build on the public support we've already garnered.

Cheryl Forchilli

Think of what you see now in public corruption: kickbacks and wire fraud. This is a joke, except for the fact that these people are so hungry for her.

Charles Sciarra

If everything is in order, they schedule a public hearing, people appear for or against the measure, and then it's a vote of the people.

Tom Ryan

These are the two primary access laws, and they permit the public to hold their government agencies accountable for their actions.

Teri Henning

Our research suggests that prevention must begin at home. We need a public health campaign that educates all adults and children in the home on the importance of creating a family environment that promotes healthy habits.

Ashley Fenzl Crossman

I left Penney's in 1969 to join the Nixon administration and I didn't come to the Senate until 1992, but I brought with me a residual understanding of retailing and retailing issues. That expertise was helpful and I did some things, frankly, that were helpful to the J.C. Penney Co. If it's good public policy, the fact that I brought that experience and expertise with me probably contributed to it.

Robert F. Bennett

The Legislature has made it very difficult for public agencies to close their meetings.

Pat Gleason

I think the public deserves better from their elected officials.

David Dewhurst

The governor has put her finger directly on the most critical needs in Puget Sound with this initiative. The additional funds she is proposing will accelerate some of the highest priority actions on the ground, while the new public-private partnership will build the broader coalition needed to safeguard the future of this great natural area.

Brad Ack

They train the dog to put its nose or a paw on the child. That would help her fit in more in public.

Susan Williamson

If it's on private property, it's the owner's responsibility. If it's on public property, the city will clean it up.

Ron O'connor

I'm here on a scholarship, so this is a fair way to pay back the community. I realize how lucky I am, and (public-service projects) cost me nothing but a little time.

Romain Massaro

I have a handful of active lobbying clients, but my business is not lobbying. My business is public affairs and public relations. That's the vast majority of what I spend my time on.

Doug Scofield

The public doesn't want new music: the main thing it demands of a composer is that he be dead.

Arthur Honegger

If SDG&E has its way, the public won't be able to comment on where the line is actually going until it is too far along in the PUC process.

Kelly Fuller

The sense I get from this is that the American public has become far more skeptical about what is happening in Iraq.

Christopher Whitney

We are complaining about their conduct in 2002 when they learned there was a potential for short-circuiting. They made a decision to change the design and sell the defective inventory without notifying the public.

Bob Hilliard

Whether or not (Torrey Pines) is a believable example, do believe me when I say today that (people) have expressed interest in buying Torrey Pines Golf Course and some of the other lands that I believe should remain in public hands. I'm just saying the potential exists.

Donna Frye

He can get the same briefing before any public meeting. That?s happened. I don?t see anything wrong with that and I don?t see anything wrong with what we did.

Donald Mancini

These businesses puff up their profits by not offering benefits, ... And at lunch, they give their workers an extra half hour to register on a public health insurance program.

Christine Quinn

When I first put in on the Web, if we had gotten very little response outside of the house, then probably we would have just kept it as an in-house vehicle and not allowed it to be disseminated in the public. But it got to be a hit, and if you got a hit, you go ahead and run with it.

Jim Tedder

My opinion is that it's only something that will create animosity between students and Public Safety.

Alex Lenahan

The difference between burlesque and the newspapers is that the former never pretended to be performing a public service by exposure.

I. F. Stone

There is no acute danger for public health.

Pascal Houbaert

This will give the public another chance to voice opinions.

Daymon Doss

We would likely make a motion on Monday (for approval), assuming we?re satisfied with the criteria. Then there would be a 30-day opportunity for public input, and a final order.

David Lewin

They're not going to make anything, but neither will they lose anything because they're not selling in those countries anyway. So it's a good public deed on their part, which is why I think most of this is public relations.

Jami Rubin

We think it is important to take a stand and to put some action behind our opposition. And, to do it in a public way.

Nathan Muller

Open to the scientific public, and not just the commercial public, the ability to use these stem cells to understand how organs form.

Irving Weissman

We believe that shield laws should apply to anyone gathering information and reporting to the public regardless of the medium, ... If you are gathering that information for your blog, you should qualify and you should be protected.

Annalee Newitz

In an epidemic, when you have a well informed public you have a far greater chance that there will not be any panic and that they will do things to keep themselves healthy and slow the spread.

Bob Dietz

Most companies will wait until the very last moment, even weeks, before they officially postpone. It's a lot of work gearing up for a company to go public.

David Mcmillan

Giving the public an opportunity for the public to decide, not for us to decide, the public.

Tim Day

We were pleased that the judge agreed with us. Getting as full a picture as possible is important for historians, for family members, for reporters and for the public.

David Mccraw

I know we may consider it, but why should we consider it? What's the public interest?

John Ryan

We're excited to have such a distinguished public officials and give people the opportunity to check out the book store.

Jamie Kornegay

The job of the president is immensely difficult because he is under the constant glare of the public spotlight.

Jerrold Post

I am in a very good mood. The result of the election is a big personal victory for me. I proved that I am not only a grey cardinal but a public politician.

Volodymyr Lytvyn

We requested a public hearing because we oppose the project. We believe it's a duplication of services.

Patty Peterson

At least give the public, the people who live there, a chance to exercise their franchise.

Fred Tromberg

It would be incomplete for the city's proposal to deal with air congestion and not traffic congestion on the ground, ... That's why this proposal, which we hope will generate much public comment, also addresses the problem on streets in and around O'Hare.

Richard M. Daley

If I were the public officials, I would look at this ruling very carefully.

Gary Peck

We want to see the biggest public benefit come out of this, but we have to take it at step at a time.

Pat Keliher

I don't see myself as an icon. I was very moved by the response to my book; it brought me into relationship with many people whom I otherwise would not have met. I also discovered that in becoming a public figure, I became a focus for all kinds of projections that had little to do with me.

Carol Gilligan

We believe that any changes or new solutions should be developed at the federal level by private and public payers and industry.

Rob Clark

We think the company has one bid they are willing to accept, given the unusual (and risky) public nature of the announcement.

Anthony Gikas

I did not find this an easy decision, ... In fact it is one of the hardest decisions one could ever face in public life because it was so evenly poised.

Peter Costello

We're going to see a period of real public stability, but there's going to be maneuvering behind the scenes.

Mark Perry

The schedule is in the works now. We're planning to open on Saturday, April 8 with a free-to-the-public practice day the Saturday prior.

Jim Swanson

If the city were to complete the current list of public improvements one at a time, it would take 10 to 20 years, but if bonded, it is estimated improvements could be completed within four to five years.

Chris Norton

What those numbers do is cry out for public policy makers to take this challenge very seriously.

Gail Shearer

We need to have transparency. There's all sorts of questions about whether this is good from a civil-liberties perspective or public-policy perspective. Is it going to create a new level of bureaucracy? Is that more effective or less effective?

Carol Rose

We have lots of very exciting and wonderful programs. We have not been able to tell our story to the public the way we should.

Paul Roth

This investigation and the public scrutiny that has gone with it could have become a serious distraction for Mark.

James Sutherland

Temporarily in 1934 I became a department head in the German Labor Front and dealt with the improvement of labor conditions in German factories. Then I was in charge of public works on the staff of Hess. I gave up both these activities in 1941.

Albert Speer

Raises are given all the time and the public never hears about it. The public has a right to know what they pay their public employees with tax dollars.

Kent Carper

This is like something Robert Moses did years ago. These guys are going around saying, 'This is what we're going to do. If you don't like it, you can get three minutes at a public hearing and go away.

Lukas Herbert

Enlist the aid of every organization out there to alert the general public of everything going on.

Tom Tancredo

This is a national tragedy and a public health problem demanding national leadership.

Tipper Gore

The private Bob Hope was very much like the public Bob Hope. He was warm and full of fun.

Linda Hope

We're still disappointed that public access was never given.

Frank Deaner

We're just glad that we could do this for the families involved and for the public in general.

Robert Stevens

He led one public life ... but there was a second side, a hidden side to Henry J. Lyons, a side that caused him to be brought here to this seat.

Robert Lewis

I think the fact that this was his first public speech in Toronto, he should have been (here).

Jane Pitfield

Increased crime and disorder, public nuisance and decreased public safety at a place which is dear to people from various Christian traditions.

Rowan Williams

We won't cut unemployment by only employing people in the public sector.

Hartmut Möllring

Many states are declaring a public health emergency because duals cannot get their medication.

Deane Beebe

Lobbying is a constitutionally protected activity because the opposite of lobbying is to treat public officials as demigods.

Mickey Edwards

I haven?t heard boo from the public.

Ken Cummings

For the record I've been a trustee over nine years and I can probably count on one hand the number of actual public meetings I've missed.

Joanne Field

We're making this public because we think Congress should do what it planned last week -- to pass a bill to specifically disavow the Dubai company from owning a U.S. port operation.

Michael N. Kreitzer

Important for the committee and for the House that its actions be viewed as nonpartisan and objective by the members of this institution and by the public.

Tom Cole

They've taken this hammer and basically tried to impose legal restrictions via contract. And I don't know with the great majority of the public, if it is going to sit that well, it is a little heavy handed.

Paul Jannuzzo

Sen. Rita Days and I were committed to maintaining a safe and friendly emissions program even though the effort was to decentralize it. Decentralize did not mean the program was going away; it?s a federal mandate. Our six amendments protect the public and make the often inconvenient process of emissions testing as painless as possible.

Sen. Joan Bray

We have to do a lot of asking the public what their feelings are. We need input from the public to get a feel of whether we're going to get their support. There's no use putting something on the ballot if you're not going to get support.

Jim Henkel

I think the qualifications are fine. I think you definitely need to have elected board members from the community. We need to get control of our public schools back into the hands of the public.

Suanne Sines

This is not a political process. The Public Service Board is a judicial body. We felt like it would be really unprofessional to interfere in that process.

John Harbison

The rampant illegal employment and habitation of foreigners in some places have disturbed the normal order of public security.

Cui Zhikun

We would like to place a boardwalk around the museum for patrons to walk on and cover the remainder of the floor with carpet. Heating and air conditioning are our biggest objectives. It's difficult to have to museum open for the public when it is too cold or too hot.

Lona Lewis

Regardless of what happens in redrafting, the Department of (the) Interior is going to do what it can to get (the Hoffman proposal) in there. It can only be public outcry and influence from Congress that can be brought to bear on this and make the effort to turn it back.

Bill Wade

This won't be another digital repeats channel -- More4 aims to make a significant public service contribution in its own right.

Andy Duncan

The public schools, trade schools and research schools, these are the coal mines of the 21st century.

William Scranton

The public trusts city officials to call balls and strikes on this.

David Kenney

We want a more comprehensive look at public safety.

Bob Elliott

The agreement is not evidence in this case, and as such is not a public record subject to disclosure.

Steve Wilson

That was amazing to me, because that's one of my favorite rappers, right there. Public Enemy's one of my favorite groups, and just to know that Chuck saw it and had something nice to say about it made me feel good.

Rashad Harrell

They're just not getting the proper education at the public school. They're acting out and can't handle a large school.

James Depasquale

It is our current assessment that the gaming commission, as well as public opinion, will more than likely favor those gaming applicants possessing the greater magnitude of scope in their proposal.

Merrill Stabile

Payday lending does not fit with their business plans and the way they present themselves to the public.

Harry Davis

The outline reflects the general will of the public.

Ma Kai

He's been our consultant, that's public knowledge. People are speculating that he's our prime candidate. Obviously we need a globally competent, experienced leader to navigate the road map. Somebody of his talent obviously would come on to our radar.

Don Budinger

There was a lot of negative comments about the double-decking. My thought is, relatively soon, we'll be putting that one to bed. We're certainly listening to the public out there. They've given us a lot of ideas.

Ron Kosinski

We're asking the public to stay indoors, even during the day until we can get the hazards removed because the danger is real and present, ... mostly caused from fallen tree limbs.

Margaret Murphy

It's on its face a conflict of interest if you're doing private polling for a candidate where you're also doing public polling on the race.

Cliff Zukin

There also will be an opportunity for the public to request a hearing, and there is a time frame associated with this.

Diane Screnci

Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public opinion controls the courses of the nation.

Charles Evans Hughes

It is a public company, and its board is meeting (Thursday) to approve the project.

Jim Vaughan

I'm afraid this is going to be the domino effect. The CCA and other groups have stated in public this is only the beginning. Once they can get it at the state level, they're going to try for a federal change.

Judith Vallee

It was built when public architecture mattered, ... Now, it would be called wasteful spending.

Henry Chadwick

[Running] does a lot to change public perceptions. A lot of people see the visually impaired as helpless creatures.

Mike Castle

We're seeing how public programs are helping offset what is happening on the employer-based side.

Kathleen Stoll

These are not the recommendations we will make to the school board. These are three options to start a dialogue at the public meetings.

Bob Hartwig

Talk shows and public opinion are standing off this giant coalition.

Roy Beck

A lot of businessmen get them because they're out in the public a lot.

Sarah Mcdonald

I am honored to have been elected to the Advisory Commission of the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future. I am looking forward to sharing ideas and best practices with such an exceptional group of innovators in education and will continue working to improve public education.

Chad P. Wick

Unfortunately, this may be one of the last years when the public gets a complete picture of toxic pollution.

Meghan Purvis

It may not be fair to the public if [the fund's investment strategy] is too conservative. Perhaps part of it could be invested in other more aggressive, higher-risk and lower- liquidity products.

Joseph Yam

When we have the Duval County Fair, they bring a lot of livestock into the city. That falls into a nuisance because it is affecting the public health, because the smell is so bad.

Andrea Salinas

This card is great for the public.

Bob Arum

The jury is still out until the public voice has been heard.

Bradley Campbell

On Ash Wednesday, we will begin with public actions, not just for one day and not just for one company.

Joerg Hofmann

If each of us is to feel that he or she is valued, this calls for more than public funding.

Kjell Magne Bondevik

Men who are engaged in public life must necessarily aim at reducing opposition to a minimum, and one of the most obvious means to that end is by misrepresenting, discrediting or ruining their opponents.

Frederick Scott Oliver

We wanted to give the housing options to the public. We want people to know that housing is for everybody, no matter what income or means.

Sharon Clark

The public has made their feelings clear that they are tired of the trashy county. If you come out, you're showing people that you care and that you have a sense of ownership in the community.

John Tonkin

It was a disaster. An absolute, total, public relations disaster.

Amy Walsh

That was a time when we were really working together as an international community of academics, politicians, public health experts. Everybody really was so focused.

Dr Margaret Chan

This is the best example of what can happen when public institutions and private institutions, like my company, learn to work together for the good of the community and the nation.

David Murdock

The process is oftentimes too mysterious, and the public has a right to know. We're hoping that there will be a greater understanding of the process.

Rick Costa

Oh, no. He does a nice job with his public image, but the guy is a pit bull.

Mike Tomlin

This was an informational meeting for the Coast Guard. They wanted to determine how the public felt about the problem.

Michael Howe

(When) I came here I had no confidence, I hadn't played like this in a long time. Everything was great tonight, the court, the public, the opponent. I respect Calleri a lot, he is a great player who hits the ball hard.

Richard Gasquet

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

H. L. Mencken

We have no electricity, no public water that is safe to drink, and no telephones in most areas.

James Hartman

The risk they face is that (the public strategy) boomerangs.

Robert Gordon

I am committed to take our mobile activities public in order to raise the necessary funds to create a mobile currency for future acquisitions, first in Europe and then globally.

Ron Sommer

This is as good as it gets. For a high school marching band, it's like going to the Super Bowl. The national and global exposure is very positive public relations for the school.

Andrew Yaracs

The only race that is going to be impacted seriously over the success or failure of public school finance is the governor's race.

Bill Ratliff

We really have to reconsider what it is that a public person gives up. Why does a public person give up all his or her rights to privacy?

David Duchovny

There is no doubt that there will be layoffs of public safety employees.

Charles Leonard

If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.

Jascha Heifetz

One thing I really like about the job is that we have a very clear path to betterment of the general public. If our project succeeds, and we're able to place payloads in orbit much cheaper than we do now, a lot of people win. We'll get a lot more research in space.

Danny Davis

They became the poster boys and girls for good public management and good government.

Bill Waugh

It's more than public relations. We really are the kind of people who believe we can ultimately save the planet.

Jeff Swanagan

One of the things that's so devastating about this storm is Biloxi was really being restored — from the really grand, public historic buildings to the smallest vernacular cottages.

Lolly Barnes

I believe this memorandum is the best we are going to get from Tom Lynch. While the Council had hoped for a public apology at the upcoming School board meeting, it doesn't appear that will happen. It is time to put this matter behind us, and hope for the best.

Rand Hoch

If we play that argument out, it's like a storm-water fee. You have to pay the fee and once you pay that fee, it's not private money, it's public money.

Pete Maysmith

There is no way law enforcement can combat this problem without the help of the public, ... There are not enough police officers.

Raul Ramirez

The report is expected to come out in 2008 or 2009. We will open the report to the public when it is finished.

Yu Ping

NOMINEE, n. A modest gentleman shrinking from the distinction of private life and diligently seeking the honorable obscurity of public office.

Ambrose Bierce

The purpose of the activity is to bring horsemen, horse lovers, lovers of art, and artists together with the general public. It's very difficult to find that kind of art.

Judy Thompson

Public safety is our primary concern.

John Hoeven

As children are growing up in an increasingly diverse world, they need to have exposure to people different than themselves. I'm not saying it can't happen outside the public system, but it happens easily in the public system in many cases.

Paul Houston

Try being my size and going into a public restroom.

Billy Barty

We want to see broad public participation, (which is) part of what's missing with the Balloon Track, anyway.

Larry Evans

I think that our public schools sometimes get a bad rap - and sometimes deservedly so. I think the goal of every school system has to be excellence.

Dan Bonner

These laws are passed for a reason. The public should be aware of who's contributing to whom and, if there are limits, those limits should be respected.

Marvin Druker

We get great public support here. This is the third straight year we've held the hunt in Lamar. We're gradually moving all of our operations from La Junta to Lamar. Most of our guides are from Lamar.

Al Stutson

We're not giving up on the concept of having a healthy public dialogue with our readers, but this experience shows that we need to think more carefully about how we do it. There are things that we said we would not allow, including personal attacks, the use of profanity and hate speech.

Jim Brady

Despite the big public debate right now, it will just be a niche technology.

Helmut Panke

Over time, you have a far better public policy. The family is able to get off the welfare rolls. Fathers are paying child support they're obligated to pay.

Milo Mumgaard

I don't think it is asking too much for Cyber Patrol and other software companies to tell the American public exactly what their software blocks.

Chris Hansen

The public discussions are of no use to anyone.

Theo Zwanziger

To try to frame us as anything but public golfers of San Diego, I reject that notion.

Dale Peterson

A lot of the public thinks of us as dope-smoking, drunk hippies and we're not.

Darrin Walters

The Imagine a World exhibition is a great way to engage the art-loving public with our message.

Kate Allen

There are alternatives to the criminal justice approach to drug policy in Kansas. The public health system is better able to work with addiction.

Laura Green

This is a different stage. You're not playing to the public, you're not playing to a board member.

Ramon Leyba

We're also looking obviously at some sort of direct federal aid to the public entities that have no revenue but have to service the revenue bonds.

Jim Mccrery

This is not a stuffy academic conference. This is open to the public and free.

Joy Pratte

We've got some exceptionally talented artists in the Kansas City area who have an opportunity to excel with public art installations at home and in other cities. This workshop will help give them the tools to succeed.

Porter Arneill

Only does the right thing under public political pressure.

David Wade

This organization continues to make major decisions without significant, broad public input or debate.

Lauren Weinstein
