I'd rather they come an hour before and read the program notes, so that they have some slight introduction to what they're going to hear. Then I recommend the most important thing of all. Listen, don't fight.

James Levine

It's rather damning to their current view that they didn't need legislation. Clearly the lawyers at the Justice Department, or some of them, felt that legislation was needed to allow the government to do what it was doing.

Timothy Edgar

This is not a drastic change. It makes more sense to have a commercial entity doing this rather than a public foundation.

Tristan Nitot

The best thing to do is to know the Internet address of the company or the NGO, the non-government organization, that you're dealing with and type that in yourself rather than clicking on a link.

Chris Swecker

They've set a business model that relies on making money on game sales rather than box sales. That's part of their problem.

Dan Gillmor

Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers.

Peter Cushing

Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely- read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.

Hesketh Pearson

I'd rather have the people sitting here in my building, doing work, but in reality I have to serve my client.

David Hurley

The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to "create" rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.

William J. Brennan, Jr.

If you're first to the market, you capture that market. You can always follow other companies and take their breadcrumbs. But I'd rather be out there.

Jim Johnston

The farmers like the moisture. Hopefully, it's not going to run off. A good majority of it should soak in. It's looking rather good. We're just beginning our wet season, and this is a good sign.

Jim Brusda

I'm pushing to be back [for outdoor], but if I'm not 100 percent then I'm not going to because I'd rather be 100 percent and do well than be 95 percent and just be mediocre.

Gayle Hunter

A strong economy is good for stocks and we're in a pretty strong cycle right now. We have a healthy market that is focused more on earnings rather than inflation fears.

Kevin Carey

She was rather abrasive and difficult, but it must've taken that kind of personality to survive and to do what she did in the 1960s.

Michael Messner

I think it's really important to give kids storage that's functional and easy to use. If they can't use it, the toys end up being all over the room rather than put away.

Jeannie Fraise

I would rather have a competent extremist than an incompetent moderate.

Leon Jaworski

I think they need to be more willing to talk individually with the pastor rather than across the back fence about him.

Stan James

I do some of my best thinking about life and a lot of different things when I'm knitting. My mind is someplace else rather than just sitting there in the living room.

Marty Pendleton

Obviously it's practical to think about it happening sooner rather than later because we need to know if we would have significant salary cap to deal with if he wasn't going to play in 2007.

Peter Doust

The emphasis is on achieving goals rather than elegance, ... It has several elements to it. One is to say that the people who did Apollo were pretty smart.

John Logsdon

It took a little longer because it was a recovery rather than a rescue.

Gary Klein

Life is rather like a tin of sardines, we're all of us looking for the key.

Alan Bennett

When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.

Gerald Jampolsky

Things are getting rather tricky. We have conceded a lot of ground. We had better forget about the championship and try to focus on what is still worth it.

Francesco Guidolin

I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.

John Cleese

Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul.

Gaston Bachelard

Sid and I have had a succession plan in place for the last five years. It?s not something decided a week ago or over dinner. It was a plan we all felt comfortable with. If someone can learn the easier way rather than the hard way, the whole company will benefit.

Dick Heimann

One should not have to diet, but rather take small steps to lose weight gradually and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Breine Stevens

We want to be able to talk about their business, rather than say 'here's what we do' and try to fit out product into their needs.

Andrew Kaplan

I'd rather walk through life than be dragged through it.

Alanis Morissette

The real issue is not whether one man was in fact guilty or innocent, it's rather that he set the example for what the other 49 governors should do on the hundreds of cases where DNA material still exists from people who have been executed.

Peter Neufeld

We, in our own quite independent way, have pushed for more democracy in Cuba. We have done so on the basis of contact with Cuba, rather than isolation of Cuba.

Leon Brittan

What worries me for Europe is the monetary policy of European authorities. (The ECB) might slow growth in Europe by these rather unjustified increases in interest rates.

Bernard Arnault

I think they'd rather get somebody for me, though. It would look better.

Koyie Hill

I'd really rather have a four-man front, have a couple ends to go 'sic 'em and have interior guys get in the step-up lanes. We just haven't gotten that yet.

Vic Koenning

If you have a global economy that has been growing rather strongly for a number of years, you would hope that fund exposure declines.

Thomas Dawson

We need to act sooner rather than later.

Patrick Mchenry

We would rather put on something fun at someplace where they want to be instead of at some party.

Angela Green

While the rest of the competition continues to promote rather aggressively to drive traffic, Abercrombie has done a great job with their merchandising and brand marketing to get people into the stores without discounting.

Daryl Boehringer

We build relationships that last rather than just 'hit and move' like many other companies do.

Chris Winfield

We might have lost but we lost in a split decision. I'll take that half-loaf [rather] than no loaf at all.

Jon Caldara

We are certainly disappointed in our performance. But, I'm glad that it happened now rather than in a playoff game.

Alexandre Louzada

With the serious energy problems we will face this winter, what DOE is proposing is like shutting down the FEMA regional offices before the next hurricane. These are the extension agents of energy efficiency, and we should be adding to rather than cutting their ranks.

Dan Reicher

I'd like to see Utah correct its error on its own, rather than be forced to do so by a court. The Legislature is betting, potentially, millions of dollars that the Utah statute will stand up in court. Frankly, that's not at all clear.

Kris Kobach

It progressed rather quickly. We didn't anticipate it getting done this quickly. The Indians kind of stepped on the pedal when they saw there was serious interest.

Bill Rego

Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.

Berenice Abbott

I believe it's true that one person can make a difference. But how much more difference 100 people make, or rather 99.

Robert Hayden

Many users will now delete an e-mail attachment that seems suspicious rather than open it up, so it has become more difficult for viruses to spread quickly.

Peter Firstbrook

We don't have as many managers as we should, but we would rather have too few than too many.

Larry Page

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Bertrand Russell

Foreign-born workers do not substitute perfectly for, and therefore do not compete with, most native-born workers. Rather, the complementary nature of the skills, occupations, and abilities of foreign-born workers increases the productivity of natives, stimulates investment, and enhances the choices available to consumers.

Giovanni Peri

It's better to go behind closed doors and scream and even cry, rather than show your emotions to the wrong individual.

Beverly Ulbrich

I guess it's better having him interested in gas engines rather than having him in the tavern or chasing these young girls.

Marian Woods

In fairness to him the lad can play. He's got pace and he can score goals but he needs to concentrate on his game rather than falling over every time he's touched.

Paul Merson

If you look at my pitch selection, I just tried to get them to put the ball in play rather than strike them out.

Brett Myers

He is not sensitive to political demands but he is to social ones. It is populist rather than democratic.

Lilia Shevtsova

The rough was difficult and we tried to go for accuracy rather than distance off the tee.

Meena Lee

I'm not trying to say that it never hurt or that I never felt its sting, but I can honestly say that I never blamed anybody for racism. I have considered it more of a manifestation of humanity's problem rather than my personal problem.

Robert Guillaume

While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.

Halle Berry

The thorough bred against a clamor, or rather the Porsche vs. the pickup truck.

Larry Merchant

I'd rather just let things be and then wait until tomorrow.

Lou Lamoriello

Good, old-fashioned competition should determine the price of insurance rather than regulation.

Dick Luedke

We want the public to be aware of the burglaries and to take precautionary measures. Be proactive rather than reactive.

Amber Dillon

No matter Fearless is warmly received or not, I hope young Chinese generation can appreciate it from the point of the world rather than being confined to the Chinese culture and movie. It is a narrow idea that Chinese Kong Fu must defeat all the foreigners.

Jet Li

Sledgehammer?s a great fit for Digital Post because it enables them to accept new business by dedicating the suites to project work rather than tying them up for file I/O.

John Miller

We just don't have a lot of depth. Nor will we have the physical size and that can be a disadvantage. We're going to have to control the ball more on offense and we might have to go to a zone defense rather than play man-to-man. But our goal is still to make the playoffs, then who knows.

Mike Bowler

A blank helpless sort of face, rather like a rose just before you drench it with D.D.T.

John Carey

Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey.

Alex Noble

It takes a lot of thinking to get to the point where you don't believe, Atheism is a head thing. Women might be more inclined to be involved in something rather than to sit around and talk and talk.

Arthur Jackson

I'd rather have an aggregator than a filter - 100 different viewpoints from all over the world.

David Weinberger

Much of the controversy about abortion is really stimulated by the interest groups on both sides of the political question, rather than by ordinary Americans. The American people and many political leaders have already made up their minds about legal abortion.

David J. Garrow

Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

Hebrew Proverb

I don't know the specifics of why they do not. All I have heard is that they are working on it. The bottom line is, we're all anxious to see this happen, sooner rather than later.

John Gioia

Even when we were up 3-2 in the sixth, I turned to my assistant coach and said, 'I'd really like to play all seven. I didn't want to win in six innings. I'd rather play the full game out.

Ann Munzenmaier

We don't want people to think they have to go and do something. Rather we want them to be moved to find what will fit well within their life at this time.

Julie Holland

We are staunch and true and in rather a champagne mood.

Franz Marc

I'd rather be the king of kids, than the prince of fools.

Jack Black

They're tweaks rather than big changes and they're all pretty much safety-oriented.

David House

Those are busy, but I'd rather give up a 100 of those days than go through this.

Joseph Mayernik

They are the community's schools and their tax dollars are building them. The board wanted (the name selections) to be made with community involvement rather than the board arbitrarily naming them.

Valerie Miller

The government owes the public an explanation of why they are doling out taxpayers' money elsewhere, rather than spending it on our people and fixing our own problems.

Pan Wei

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Ambrose Redmoon

With that kind of information, you can begin to manufacture based on the types of demand that you are seeing out there, as opposed to manufacturing a set amount of vehicles that may sit on dealer lots. You can begin to manufacture something that you know is going to move rather quickly.

Richard Hilgert

I am rather an opinionated person I suppose.

Miriam Margolyes

We'd rather for it to go there.

Don Mcclellan

A company is stronger if it is bound by love rather than by fear.

Herb Kelleher

How do we know it is really an Iraqi Army rather than a sectarian Army? If it is not an Iraqi army, that really is going to put a damper on the notion of our drawing down forces.

Andrew Bacevich

I go up to set-pieces and I've waited to score a goal. Of course my job is to keep clean sheets rather than score goals, but goals are a bonus, and today it was with my left foot as well.

Sami Hyypia

Despite my skepticism, I thought to myself, 'This is perhaps the only illustration or symbol of what could be the benefits of a co-operational, rather than a confrontational attitude'.

Mort Zuckerman

There's no other place I'd rather have it than here in Mexico. It's a race track that I was looking forward to going to from the time we were here last year. This track just fits my driving style perfectly.

Denny Hamlin

Swedish health care is a complex system that has arisen from the country's own historical roots. Campbell is cherry-picking for- profit models to serve his own privatization agenda, rather than looking at how the system functions overall. For example, less than 10% of Swedish physicians are in private practice.

Joyce Jones

[Autry also directly criticized Parks. He said the FPOA] has had some good leaders who put the community first. ... we are seeing a big departure from that ... Parks would rather operate behind a veil of secrecy, which is not good for the public or the Police Department.

Alan Autry

It's a matter of safety. I'd rather drop him off and pick him up and know that he got to school.

Carol Hughes

I'm taking precautionary measures, I'd rather be safe then sorry.

Robert M. Hamilton

Turning the corner on viewing manure as a commodity rather than a waste has the potential to improve both the environment as well as the public image of livestock farming.

Wayne Anderson

You play all year to get to a bowl game. You'd rather be playing for a national title, but this is a great step for us in getting this team back to where it belongs.

Adam Carriker

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.

Frederick Douglass

We're pretty much in this situation now because last time their goal was to do it fast rather than right.

Charles Grande

I view it as a pragmatic issue rather than a political statement by the bank.

Thomas Merrill

We succeeded in getting a compromise without letting this dispute contaminate a rather positive relationship.

Adrian Nastase

Because hackers are makers rather than scientists, the right place to look for metaphors is not in the sciences, but among other kinds of makers.

Paul Graham

To say something nice about yourself, this is the hardest thing in the world for people to do. They'd rather take their clothes off.

Nancy Friday

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.

Baha'u'llah

The fires of unrest rather than putting them out.

Patrick Dean

I think it forced us to [be more creative]. It's like, 'Let's take the guns off the table and see what else we can think of.' Then you come up with an idea like, 'I'd rather see him attacked by a bunch of sex-crazed monkeys than a bunch of bullets,'.

Peter Berg

Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed.

Gerald Jampolsky

Would outfits like HSBC or GE Capital rather get into straight marketing of consumer credit cards? Sure they would. But that game is cooling off. So they're looking for ancillary businesses.

Theodore Iacobuzio

Goodwill generally has gone to attended donation centers rather than unattended boxes sitting around.

Greg Wilson

The problem with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than their minds.

Walter Duranty

For a long time the psychology was to buy on the dips and I think the psychology has changed, and it changed in early March. And what's happened is we now see people selling into the rallies rather than buying on the dips.

Robert Armknecht

I would rather have students read a difficult text that they find challenging than one they dismiss because it is too easy.

Paul Armstrong

Earmarking has been going on since the time of George Washington. If Congress chooses to make particular decisions about particular projects rather than have bureaucrats make them, it is perfectly appropriate.

Aimee N. Steel

In order to serve the entire district, we need to have full-service satellite campuses rather than these tiny centers.

Michelle Nelson

I treat all children the same. I don't consider their disability an excuse, but, rather, a point of motivation. ... When you enter my classroom you no longer see children with special needs, but a teacher who meets the needs of special children.

Anita Ramirez

We would fight not for the political future of a distant city, rather for principles whose destruction would ruin the possibility of peace and security for the peoples of the earth.

Neville Chamberlain

To live in Australia permanently is rather like going to a party and dancing all night with one's mother.

Barry Humphries

The lady said at Wiggins they have absolutely nothing. We'd rather have you take it to Wiggins, ... It's a little town in the middle of nowhere, about 30 miles north of Gulfport.

Charles Lang

We need more pain at the contact area. There were times when we were going to ground too easily, arriving in ones rather than twos or threes. Matt is our best prop as far as his overall game is concerned. He's there for his mobility and work around the field.

Andy Robinson

People believe I am what they see Me as, rather than what they do not see. But I am the Great Unseen, not what I cause Myself to be in any particular moment. In a sense, I am what I am not. It is from the Am-notness that I come, and to it I always return.

Neale Donald Walsch

By keeping focus on the organizational, rather than the technological, elements of MDM, more intelligent business decisions, precise reporting, and enhanced operational efficiencies are possible. It starts with building consensus, managing change, and affirming the corporate commitment to managing data as an asset.

Faisal Shah

We do this for the art, not the adulation. I'd rather our music get liked and we get ignored. I don't want to be adored for anything other than the music.

Andy Partridge

The U.S. strategy is to water down the document rather than to strengthen it.

Lee Feinstein

I'm glad we're playing at home again. I thought Sunday was my last game playing there. There's no other place that I'd rather play at than Memorial Stadium.

Leanne Zilioli

This is a difficult and unfortunate situation. I am glad this is being resolved sooner rather than later.

Sophia Bush

I would say we are much more on that side . . . The administration (of Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.) is supportive of new concepts and is looking for the implementation of HOT lanes sooner rather than later.

Carlos Braceras

They realize there's a lot more involved. Others come to realize it's not for them. We would rather have them discover it early on ? that's exploring.

James Rhodes

I must have been dreaming about Albie. I spoke in a Liverpool accent all the time. It becomes second nature. It's much easier like that. It seems to me common sense rather than extraordinary.

Robert Carlyle

I would expect to get more because we have the Washington Nationals, instead of the Expos. We paid into it even in years we were losing money because of local (media contracts). But I would much rather be paying money than getting it because that means the team is doing well and the attendance is up. We will get in that position again.

Charlie Monfort

I'll take seven girls scoring rather than one having 25 points any day. I like to see that balance.

Gina Nolan

With Fischer," Brendel wrote in 1960, "one was in more immediate contact with the music: there was no curtain before the soul when he communicated with the audience. One other musician, Furtwangler, conveyed to the same degree this sensation of music not being played, but rather happening by itself.

Alfred Brendel

The objective of this was to show that these two brands (SBC and AT&T) were coming together rather than bringing another into the mix.

Shelley Almager

I expect the board to come out with a succession plan rather rapidly and possibly give us a date for when Eisner leaves.

Kevin Calabrese

I'd rather regret doing something than not doing something.

James Hetfield

This will have more political rather than economic ramifications.

Vitali Meschoulam

When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart.

John Bunyan

I'd rather be in school because I don't want to make it up.

Travis Walton

People used to say that's an impossible problem. Then people got to thinking about the fact that there are going to be constraints coming from some rather mundane facts -- that in principle will make the problem of deducing the phase like the solution of a solvable puzzle.

Veit Elser

It's an equity-building thing rather than just sending the (rent) money off to somebody else.

Roger Fisher

[Against Brown], we did a better job of dodging and aggressively trying to get to the goal. Also, when you play as many good defenses as we have, your offense starts to react to the defense rather than the defense react to the offense.

Kevin Corrigan

This season, overall, I think we're ending on probably our highest note. We started on a rather low note. ... This is definitely our highest point since we've been here.

Dalila Eshe

When it comes to this project, I'm rather disappointed. I don't think we're getting the best project we could have there.

Rick Tacy

. . . our wayward kicking let us down, we gave away too much possession rather than taking the ball to ground and going again.

Paul Mitchell

Two or three things I know for sure, and one is that I'd rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me.

Dorothy Allison

The truth is that economic competition is the very opposite of competition in the animal kingdom. It is not a competition in the grabbing off of scarce nature-given supplies, as it is in the animal kingdom. Rather, it is a competition in the positive creation of new and additional wealth.

George Reisman

Learning is more effective when it is an active rather than a passive process.

Kurt Lewin

Some people think it's just easier to drag a journalist before a judge and try to get that information, rather than find it out on their own.

Chuck Graham

Computing is no longer just about PCs, laptops or even cell phones, but rather about the promise of pervasive computing, which will largely be enabled by sensors.

Glenn Edens

They were trying to cope not only with losing a leader and a friend, but they had also witnessed his death in a rather horrific way.

Robert Davis

You're in the subterranean world in this particular issue. So little of it is aboveboard and legal and monitored, nobody's counting anything. You're inevitably going to be in the realm of anecdote rather than data.

Frank Braconi

Commodity companies have in the past been price takers rather than price makers, and that won't change dramatically, but if you have greater control of your supply, that makes it more favorable to the mining companies.

Paul Xiradis

Beware of the tyranny of making small changes to small things. Rather, make big changes to big things.

Roger Enrico

We are trying to promote a serious art gallery, rather than one that displays local crafts. We thought someone of his caliber would be perfect to launch this new image.

Lloyd Marcus

People tend to believe the Bank of Japan governor rather than ministers.

Garry Evans

I don't like penalty kicks deciding it. I'd rather settle it on the field.

Richard Hartwiger

Since the oil market now is controlled essentially by speculative forces, and speculative forces respond to events that may happen _ rather than what happens _ I think we have already seen the impact of the Iranian activity.

William Edwards

If you look at it on paper, we are similar in a lot of ways. But I'll say this: If I had to choose one or the other, I would rather be with the guys I am on the field with any day, any night.

Marlon Mccree

They made up for a very frustrating first half rather quickly. They responded to what we asked them to do.

Kevin Albury

Both Josh Klein (127) and Jon Saylor (217) were not at 100 percent going into their bouts and I saw they were hurting a little so I threw in the towel rather than risk any further injury.

Dan Southard

It's rather impersonal and probably a bit unsatisfactory. You don't have this sort of atmosphere and this sort of exchange that you get when you're in a club.

Jennifer Pratt

Advertising generally works to reinforce consumer trends rather than to initiate them.

Michael Schudson

The training in those days was rather ad hoc because the people running NASA were basically engineers.

Jim Lovell

I am blessed by what the DEA has done. I'd rather see marijuana legalized than me being saved from a U.S. jail.

Marc Emery

They should also consider owning their property as tenants-in-common, rather than jointly, and they could also think about leaving their property in some form of trust.

John Whiting

In other words the pictures are in a kind of relationship with each other which is touching only at points rather than pictures being illustrations of poems or poems extrapolations of the pictures.

Peter Porter

Depending upon the conditions and the situation in the game, I think that's a reasonable expectation. I think these guys would rather go out there than play the field position game with a punt.

Jeff Choate

We feel that we've been fair and they're not budging. We don't want to be out here. We'd rather be taking care of our residents.

Sheila Ramirez

It's going to be a highly used road. So, the maintenance costs might be rather substantial.

Robbie Matesic

We are seen as legitimate targets, as part of the problem rather than the solution, according to the insurgents.

Michael Ware

It's more like a punishment for failing, rather than encouraging the students to improve themselves.

Rep. Dave Heaton

Rather than just have the annexed people represented by people they never voted for, some people on borders of districts will get new councilmen. And they've always got the at-large members.

Tim Pape

The remission to Abu Bakar Bashir is not a reflection on the individual per se rather than the application of the remission program, which is applied in general.

Marty Natalegawa

I'd rather fail and try than just make another racing game.

David Jaffe

Shane is still struggling but I am hoping to get him back sooner, rather than later.

Colin Malone

It was just about 15 years ago when a scientist at the National Institute on Aging concluded that it was good to be a little overweight rather than normal weight, ... And it was pure rubbish.

Walter Willett

I feel like I'm being held hostage. I don't want to be adversarial. I'd rather work together.

Brian Rice

New vehicle demand in the US is poised to peak out sooner rather than later, which may weigh on demand for Japanese (automobiles).

Junichi Makino

I think it's more a political statement ? a social statement ? rather than an economic statement.

Lawrence White

Re: Ian Bell becoming England captain I always thought it was customary for the England captain to lose form after he'd been named captain rather than before.

Ben Wilson

If you talk about preemption you better know things rather than think things.

Byron Dorgan

We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.

Stephen R. Covey

It was an ugly win, a tough win, whatever you want to call it. But I'd rather have an ugly win than a beautiful loss.

David A. Bennett

This is a last, last option. If (other) options do not work for them, they do have this option rather than killing the infant or abandoning the infant.

Brenda Edwards

They had their shot and they blew it, ... The LDP was and still is ready to be overthrown — the problem is it's been overthrown by its own president rather than the opposition.

Gerald Curtis

Rather than rotting in a jail, he might consider the ultimate martyrdom to be being put to death by the American infidels.

Lee Rubin

To us, his demands sounded rather reasonable. He didn't want a plane to Cuba. He didn't demand 300 million dollars.

Jeff Berman

The goal isn't for the advisor to divorce him or herself from the brand, but rather to go beyond it.

John Nersesian

One of the aspects of form that I have been very interested in is stasis - the concept of form which is not so directional in time, not so much climactic form, but rather form which allows time, to stand still.

La Monte Young

Many plans offer more than the standard benefit. Most offer a zero deductible and a flat rate, rather than a percentage co-pay. Some provide coverage in the gap between $2,250 and $5,100, especially for generic drugs.

Mike Fierberg

Today I would rather fall in love with a washing machine than a woman.

Richard Edwards

People who purchased three or four years back today are finding money to redecorate their homes. This housing boom is giving us a bit of it now rather than three or four years back.

Farooq Kathwari

I told Rae, I would rather have her diving and calling timeout than have someone standing and giving up a hoop. Rae played a great tournament.

Stan Swank

The word feminism has negative connotations for men. Rather, we are wanting to celebrate females and their confidence. There is no political agenda behind my work. I'm just trying to make music that makes me feel good and confident. We've got a cool message.

Nicole Scherzinger

Bring it on - I appreciate a good debate. This is going to stir up some of these people who would rather not talk about the issue.

Mary Foster

I am a friend of the working man, and I would rather be his friend, than be one.

Clarence Darrow

Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible.

Cherie Carter Scott

We have talented local management in the marketplace [in the Caribbean] who are making those kinds of decisions, rather than being told by someone in a distant U.S. city how to run the market.

Michael Small

Subsequently, the language the salesperson uses to provide information should be benefit-oriented rather than feature-oriented, and should be linked to the needs identified.

Sharon Daniels

We saw the opportunity to hopefully create a situation that may be somewhat positive rather than one that would be divisive in the community.

Steve Queior

I can no longer associate myself with an organization that is capable of making such an important decision so flagrantly on the basis of political influence, rather than the scientific and clinical evidence.

Frank Davidoff

A merchant's association will give us the ability to deal with one group rather than trying to deal with each store individually, which took a couple of weeks.

Bruce Cunningham
