We, in Laredo, are extremely proud of our Spanish roots. Once again, the Spaniards come and our world is different.

Ray Keck

Some folks are moving out into communities and putting down some roots.

Kurt Pickering

The important lesson is that this is a homegrown company. If we get them growing here, the roots grow deep, and it becomes difficult for that kind of business to be successfully recruited to another area.

Bob Trezise

[There is no doubting his Scottish roots. His father hailed from Bridge-ton] at the time when it really was a rough area, ... and a man was called a sissy if he had two good ears.

John Mckay

I do think there is something to be said for those who have significant experience at state level and have run campaigns or have been deeply involved in grass roots political campaigns and who have actual hands-on experience.

Roy Romer

Our roots are here and I love New England.

Carol Brand

My ultimate dream or goal would be to be the head coach at Purdue. There have been other college opportunities, but I am happier here as an assistant where my roots are.

Scott Hinkel

Medical conditions at the grass roots level is poor and villagers don't know much about the epidemic.

Mao Qun'an

This is about development of Judaism and Christianity, which do go separate ways at a certain point. But it is also about how they emerge from common roots and how they parallel their development almost in an interchangeable way through a very critical period of time.

James Snyder

We looked at the popularity of Roots in the last Olympics and thought this was something to get into.

Carolyn Brookter

The roots and the history and the long periods of affiliation don't exist here.

Abraham Diskin

It's sort of a symbol of us putting down roots.

Jill Davis

Considering our extensive grass-roots fund-raising operation, I'd say we have an appropriate level of staff.

Ann F. Lewis

Thus far, Long has not been connected to the social justice movement in the city of Atlanta. People wonder if this (funeral) is a passing on of the mantle to one of the new leaders who hasn't been a part of the grass-roots struggle.

Robert Franklin

He's doing a good job in terms of grass roots support for the party, but he understands, as we do, nobody's hanging on every word [from] the chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Dick Durbin

I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.

Jimmy Page

Idealistic reformers are dangerous because their idealism has no roots in love, but is simply a hysterical and unbalanced rage for order amidst their own chaos.

William Irwin Thompson

This is a critical moment in time, accomplished through grass-roots mobilization. We're now able to push back.

Aeryca Steinbauer

We knew that it's our roots. And we wanted to stay where our roots are.

Tony Page

We are stepping up to the plate to do this. Your personal efforts are key to passing any measure. Grass-roots efforts are what works.

Julia Bott

I'm really pleased. I wasn't sure what to expect because there wasn't much in the way of publicity. But the Wave United did a nice job on a grass-roots level to get the word out.

Peter Wilt

There's a transcendent quality to Hawaiian music. There's something very grounded in it, very roots-oriented. It grabbed me so much that it changed me.

Barry Flannagan

I'm getting reports on both sides. Some people are quite enthused about her and other people are very upset. The grass-roots are not happy, I can tell you that.

Paul Weyrich

We are now waiting for his reply. But I think he will accept this as it was an appeal from the grass roots and I do not think he will want to deceive them.

Vital Kamerhe

I came up with 'Roots and Shoots' when I was traveling around the world in increasingly broader circles talking about the environmental issues and challenges facing Africa.

Jane Goodall

For this method to work, we've got to get the roots in contact with the contamination. Sod-forming grasses work well in certain situations, because they have a large root surface in contact with the soil.

Kathy Banks

I see an explosion in grass-roots initiative where people just want change and they're truly demanding it.

Jay Lapeyre

Especially now with the boho influence, the hippie and gypsy looks -- they have Latin roots. Embroidery, embellishment, color, flowers and beading are important to Latinas and to Latin American history.

Phillip Bloch

Literally, we're taking the story to the people. If you're of African American or Latin descent, this is like a Mecca. These are your roots. You don't play this game if not for these guys who played in the Negro League.

Bob Kendrick

Sometimes when I'm [driving] on the expressway, I look down and it grieves me. It's like nobody cares what happens to us. Forget about black people and their roots.

Elry Sands

It's interesting to me, this sense of legacy and how far we can get from our roots. I find it really interesting what gets passed down, and how arbitrary that can be.

Elizabeth Crook

I believe in evolution and I think when it comes to business and the roots of business and the fundamentals of business, I don't think that ever changes. I think the idea of change is an illusion, but in nature it's necessary to change and perhaps business is a part of nature. I'm not totally sure.

Elliott Gould

It catches the Decatur [theatergoing] group and that area. It feels like somewhere where we can plant some roots.

Elisabeth Andre

Trees don?t like that. Fungi use the moisture to attack and kill the fine roots, and you see them go into slow decline over the years.

Ellen Goheen

We should fight terrorism by dealing with its roots and causes, whether committed by individuals, groups or states. Terrorism is a crime that every Muslim should fight.

Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu

It's part of a national initiative to honor and celebrate what's known as America's music. It's an important art form in our country. It got its history and roots in this country. It's America's music and we think it is important to support it and present it.

Eileen Wilson

The Seattle film community is at a grass-roots level. Large film communities used to be small ones. The industry has to be created here.

Eddie Smith
