I picked up the rule and started studying it hard, reading it over and over. It says that 20 percent of the volume of the boat can be appendages, and that's where the idea came from.

Clay Oliver

The first rule of business, is never sell something you love. Otherwise, you may as well be selling your children.

Hugh Macleod

The basic, basic rule is don't pull a trigger unless you know what you're shooting.

Jim Holland

It is desirable for Buddhist affairs to help civilian rule.

Ye Xiaowen

There are nine counties in the state of Oregon that have home rule charters. It is not on my short list, it's not on my long list. I was on a committee to look into that and we found so many pitfalls and disadvantages we didn't look any further.

T.v. Skinner

This is our home field. If we want to close it, we should be able to close it. That being said, they are Major League Baseball and they have their rule.

Adam Everett

We rule nothing out and have an open mind on women playing men's tour events, and if sponsors can convince us that it's in the interests of the game by including women, then fine.

George O'grady

The general rule is to get as far inland as possible. Find the most secure and safest structure available away from the coast.

Andy Newman

We are going to try and find the best person possible. I would like to think we would have a lot of applicants because this will be an attractive job. We won't rule anybody out.

Mike Pries

We can't rule out whether we have the homicide of the three folks or a murder suicide type thing.

Tracy Conaway

The fact of the matter is very few appellate judges have had reason to rule on huge executive power issues, so the track record is not that informative.

Stuart Taylor

The No. 1 rule is to keep yourself safe, ... Nothing is more precious than your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Steve West

The culture of the people and of the local governments would never allow for one ultimate authority to rule over the others.

Jeff Hatling

Unfortunately, goodness and honor are rather the exception than the rule among exceptional men, not to speak of geniuses.

Cesare Lombroso

We just got the rule today, so we're trying to get caught up on what the new OHV rules say, especially as they relate to the local level.

Amy Teegarden

We hope they will come to their senses. Otherwise, we have to bring them to face the justice, ... We intend to liberate the people and bring the rule of law to Falluja.

Ayad Allawi

Historically, the agency has not done much in the way of rule making.

Jennifer Parker

The IBP is greatly disturbed by this move of the government because the Constitution and the rule of law cannot be twisted or manipulated to serve partisan ends.

Arthur Lim

Cooperation with the tribunal brought international justice closer to a region which saw terrible atrocities. His death is a heavy blow to individual accountability for violations of International Humanitarian Law and to the rule of law.

Theodor Meron

OUTCOME, n. A particular type of disappointment. By the kind of intelligence that sees in an exception a proof of the rule the wisdom of an act is judged by the outcome, the result. This is immortal nonsense; the wisdom of an act is to be juded by the light that the doer had when he performed it.

Ambrose Bierce

It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.

P. G. Wodehouse

We believe we should take the dispute back to the WTO. We would like to see a rule of law rather than us acting as jury and judge.

Lee Greenbaum

We don't know where [al-Zarqawi] is right now, ... Maybe he's dead; we don't know. But we never focused on him. We focused on ... reinstating the rule of law, which we are in the process of doing, and giving Falluja back to the Fallujan people, which will come fairly soon.

John Sattler

An abdication to those who want to substitute anarchy instead of the rule of law.

Michael Newton

You can't attract capital investment from outside Iraq unless you have a constitution... get rule of law in place, capital will come, electricity will follow.

Steve King

As a country we shouldn't have to legislate common decency, but through the actions of this group, they've proved there should be an exception to the rule.

Jason Wallin

The news on U.S. Steel has prompted some buying of steelmakers. You cannot completely rule out the possibility of takeovers of Japanese companies.

Koji Uchida

There's an old rule in politics: If you're explaining, you're losing.

Brian Robertson

As a general rule the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.

Benjamin Disraeli

When we get a state, we will leave it to the people to choose. We believe that the people will choose Islamic rule, but this will be after liberation, not now.

Mahmoud Ramahi

I for one believe you should hike with a partner. Find someone you  get along with, someone with the same skill level as you or a little better. One rule is to never leave your climbing partner behind. If both of you subscribe to that before you're tired, before you're disoriented, then you can go out and have some fun.

Tim Cochrane

It still seems like a lot, but the thing about it is there are a small number of girls that are the really good golfers. I don't like the rule, but overall it's a good rule to get more girls playing.

Tim Chocklett

He'd lay awake at night trying to find ways to make us faster. He'd read the rule book looking for every advantage. And he'd have us doing calisthenics.

Wesley Warren

We don't rule out making changes that need to be made. But our discipline is to be where we are.

Terry Mcguirk

Certainly there have been occasions where people buy off or pay off people who work in box offices and at outlets, ... I think . . . the rule of scalpers, brokers is (to get tickets) any way you can.

John Scher

The one rule we always have is, the learning has to be in the doing. So if they're playing, they're learning at the same time.

Nicola Lisus

A general rule of thumb is, ... you don't introduce dog legislation because it doesn't go anywhere.

Andrew Wright

The Colombian state has to take more congruent measures with regard to civil and political rights and there are very important challenges with regard to demobilizing the paramilitary groups, so that the rule of law is upheld.

Michael Fruhling

Home rule gave city and county councils the authority to redistrict themselves, but it did not do that for school boards. The delegation, through the General Assembly, is the sole authority for changing school board district lines. A lot of delegations don't even let the school boards look at their plan until it's drawn up and done.

Bobby Bowers

Until the rule can be proven improper he should be bound to it.

George Ross

We're against illegal immigrants because we must uphold the rule of law. We are a nation of law. Our biblical world view mandates that we be a people of law.

Sadie Fields

We don't want that to happen yet, until Judge Priest has an opportunity to rule on pretrial motions.

Dick Deguerin

In the proposed EPA rule, every norm of radiation protection that has been established for the general public since the late 1950s ... is to be thrown overboard.

Arjun Makhijani

The rule of seven for any navigation bar or drop-down list is that seven items is the breaking point.

Jeff Rosenblum

You have to make changes to the capacity of governments to manage programs, to write the right laws, to have the rule of law.

Andrew Natsios

The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.

Paris Hilton

I make it a rule always to believe compliments implicitly for five minutes, and to simmer gently for twenty more.

Alice James

Everyone is required to abide by the 35 percent rule -- we only accept up to 35 percent of the auction size in bids from any one entity.

Brookly Mclaughlin

Those who enjoy their own emotionally bad health and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion, jealousy and hatred, as a rule take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise, and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them.

Johannes Brahms

It's not the same rule. I just went to clear the zone and it went too high.

Guillaume Lefebvre

I believe those board members who voted for Mr. Romeo lost an excellent chance to restore some credibility to this board. They had a chance to put new blood at the head of the board. Tonight we saw that (Williamson County Commissioners) Wendell Fisher and Bob Barnett have assured that the good old boys will continue to rule the housing authority.

Attorney Charles Garnati

[The Justice Department said it was] disappointed ... remained convinced that even the most powerful corporations have the responsibility of adhering to the rule of law.

John Richter

I am troubled that a rule was admittedly violated and it took us five years to find out about it.

Andy Geiger

We have great concern that there will be at least a temporary chilling effect on the flow of voluntary information to the investment community until companies see how this rule is enforced.

Louis Thompson

A basic rule for managers is 'Pass the pride down.' People like to create when they can earn recognition for their ideas. When a good idea surfaces, the creator's immediate superiors should show prompt appreciation.

James L. Hayes

It worked out good for him. Although if you make it a hard and fast rule, there are kids that fall through the cracks and it doesn't treat fair. But ... if I read it right, there are enough loopholes that kids won't get jammed in.

Greg Linley

I do not rule out optimism.

James Leach

You'd better get it down to me. I think the line judge on the other side of the field is going to rule that T.A.'s knee was down.

Tony Haynes

The rule has been in place for 20 or more years. The most common thing I've heard is, 'Is that a new rule?' No, it's not a new rule. It's always been there. We just didn't enforce it the way we should have.

Dave Wagner

I established a rule that any person named in witness testimony should not be named in the report unless that person has been charged with a crime.

Rafiq Hariri

The Court did not rule on the merits of Mr. Roger's dismissal. Rather, it concluded that a different procedure should have been used.

William Mitchell

There was a lot I didn't know about the Home Rule Charter.

Ted Leblanc

Make it a rule to pass out seven or eight cards every day.

Bill Hopkins

Let me do my job and I think we'll be fine. I don't see him coming down and trying to rule the boxing program.

Paul Cichon

It's always fun playing a team that's that strong. We should never rule out anything from our part.

Sasha Abraham

We don't think that anyone can predict how the 8th Circuit will rule based on the questioning. We do think that a number of legal issue were brought to the forefront. It appears that the judges are very interested ... in whether Mrs. Jones' version of the conduct of Mr. Clinton in that hotel room was severe or not.

Donovan Campbell

But I'm very libertarian in the sense that I believe in small government and, as a general rule, I don't believe in imposing values upon people.

Stephen Harper

Typically the rule with respect to publicizing information is that if it's information that a person could obtain by sitting in the courtroom, then release of that information through the media is allowed.

Scott Horne

The best general rule I know of, is, to set the tune on the letter the author has set it, unless he has given directions to the contrary.

William Billings

Companies knew the trans fat labeling rule was coming. We've had quite a bit of time to be in compliance.

Stephanie Childs

Live and let live is the rule of common justice.

Sir Roger L'estrange

This commission ends one-party rule by either Democrats or Republicans.

Paul Dunn

The politicians of New York...see nothing wrong in the rule, that to the victor belong the spoils of the enemy.

William Learned Marcy

We are unwilling to accept any unnecessary risk and we will protect our industry from any invasive disease. At the risk of being offensive to our friends in Florida, this plan, this science, is all new to us. Didn't the scientists just come out against the 1,900-foot rule? Didn't they say that would eradicate canker?

Joel Nelsen

We view the restoration of democracy and civilian rule within a constitutional framework as crucial to fostering long-term stability in Pakistan.

Christina Rocca

I think it's a general rule of thumb ? the force of the water will not allow you to walk through if it is over your knees.

Brian Mcinerney

I think it's an affront on home rule and the right of people in the counties to govern themselves.

Bobby Boland

If the operation in Australia changes for the worse, I won't rule out we need to write-off this gain.

Peter Tse

The first thing we did was throw out all the rule books.

Bob Coble

You cannot rule with 30 members.

Gideon Doron

State companies winning deals because of government-to- government interaction has become a rule rather than an exception. This will increase competition for multinational companies in acquiring oil and gas assets.

Arjuna Mahendran

The nature of judging is special from other decision making, ... They have to suppress their gut instincts and rule from precedents, the rule of law.

Joseph Hoffman

When defense lawyers are murdered, the rule of law is doubly at stake. Human rights law requires that all murders be investigated in a credible manner. Moreover, defense attorneys are critical to a fair trial, and their systematic assassination threatens the entire process.

Philip Alston

The game's still pretty good. These rule changes, we'll just adjust. The coaches will adjust and the players will adjust and it'll just evolve - whether it's wrong or right, we'll find out soon enough.

Adam Simpson

The basic rule of free enterprise: You must give in order to get.

Scott Alexander

I don't see that it has to have the same type of fine as the coaches' rule has [but] there probably should be a penalty.

John Wooten

Of course, we may look at rule breakers more frequently. If people are constantly late or going over the limit, we don't want to give them that much leverage to overextend themselves.

Diana Don

We do not want to rule alone (even if) we win a majority. We favor a coalition. There are many complications that would prevent us forming a government on our own at this stage.

Ghazi Hamad

I went to the pre-pay mode last night, and might keep that rule in place until the gas price starts to trickle down, maybe by Thanksgiving or so.

David Keith

I always follow that three-strikes rule.

Scott Magie

It's too soon, too premature. We have so many leads coming in, it's impossible to rule anything out because something might prove helpful to the investigation.

Sandra Carroll

Don't rule out working with your hands. It does not preclude using your head.

Andy Rooney

The golden rule for every business man is this: ''Put yourself in your customer's place.''.

Orison Swett Marden

The goal of simplifying the nationality rule is to diminish the costs and thereby make the competition accessible to more challengers.

Michel Bonnefous

An independent investigation is essential because these killings have huge implications for efforts to establish the rule of law in Iraq.

Philip Alston

This is a major issue because no one has determined an accurate way to measure the audience. Keep in mind that this is a self-regulatory rule adopted to head off legislation. It is not a law and if violated does not constitute an illegal act. So the penalty for violating it is non-existent. The point is for companies to use their best efforts.

Doug Wood

The spirit of the day wakes up us to protect democracy and human rights and inspires us to fight against all injustices, unfairness and any authoritarian rule.

Begum Zia

The rule is different in the NFL. And is drastically different this year (in the NCAA). Last year it was the same (as the NFL). This year, the way that rule is interpreted in the game Saturday at Vanderbilt - the rule is drastically different.

George Deleone

Valeri Bure brings a package of speed, offensive skill and experience to our lineup. We believe that he will also be a player who will really benefit from the new rule changes, and he will be a welcome addition to our power play.

Dave Taylor

When one breaks a school rule, yes there are consequences to that.

Jesus Chavez

So far there's 100 percent support, which is not always the case with a rule change for a game that has been around for 100 years. To be honest, we expected a little more controversy at first.

Arlen Kantarian

Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in.

Katherine Mansfield

I weed out the obvious ones that no one will convince me to show. My first rule is that it has to be a film you would want to see again.

Chris Robinson

My suspicion is Kennedy probably will not want to adopt a rule that would gut the practical effect of Casey, which is a decision he wrote, ... On the other hand, he might choose a narrower way of upholding the New Hampshire law. He might remand to see if the health exception can be applied in the language.

Jack Balkin

The new ruler of Iraq is going to be an Iraqi. I don't rule anything, ... I'm the coalition facilitator to establish a different environment where these people can pull things together themselves and begin a self-government process and, with our assistance, begin a reconstruction process and end up with a democracy that represents the freely elected will of the Iraqi people.

Jay Garner

Write what you like; there is no other rule.

O. Henry

This new rule will now give players the option of playing minor league professional basketball in the United States.

Michael Curry

The victory of the August Revolution and the birth of a new Vietnam were historic milestones, shattering nearly a century of cruel colonial rule and fascism ... ushering in a new era in the nation's history, an era of independence and freedom.

Tran Duc Luong

The price-rule compliance issues must be addressed by the people who created them directly with the people who are demanding them.

Joe Galloway

For righteous monarchs, Justly to judge, with their own eyes should see; To rule o'er freemen, should themselves be free.

Henry Brooke

Today the Supreme Court did not rule that the president has the authority to detain an American citizen on American soil. What they did was delay the inevitable -- that Padilla must be charged with a crime.

Jose Padilla

Karen- OK, rule number one. Unless you're served in a frosted glass, never come within four feet of my lips.

Will & Grace

There's probably a little greater case for pessimism than optimism. But I do not rule out optimism.

Jim Leach

We will be applying for the forfeit rule. Postponement means both teams didn't have a chance to play. We had a place to play.

Melvin Spears

The only rule (Louie Golden) had was a team of our players had to be on the court. You'd have 40 guys sitting out waiting to play. If our team lost, then five more of our team would go on. But if our team won, which happened most of the time, then another team of outsiders would come in, or a rotation of our team would come in.

Sam Oates

With rare exceptions, I feel strongly that McGovern's rule is an appropriate one for us all. The longer I live, the more I observe that carrying around anger is most debilitating to the person who bears it.

Katharine Graham

Some of the bigger teams have a couple hundred people, and there's 30 some people here now. While that makes (rule changes) harder on the 30 people, with 30 some people you have 30 some problems. But with 200 people you have 200 problems. So how can you say it's better for them?

Chris Webb

We believe the Indian Supreme Court will rule favorably on July 19th to allow the rollout of mobile CDMA networks in India. While this could lead to a two-month delay in the deployment of services, the impact is expected to be minimal this year.

Jeffrey Schlesinger

Basically what the rule is, if you have to update them or do major repairs on something or upgrade them, then you have to make them ADA accessible.

Craig Morrison

We broke the rule twice (about guarding Duran). Then that run started.

Kelly Meek

While the numbers seem conservative, I wouldn't rule out Qualcomm raising them later in the year. As a matter of fact, I almost expect it.

Michael Cohen

[(CNN) -- The cardinal rule of criminal detection was carved in stone more than a century ago.] It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence, ... It biases the judgment.

Sherlock Holmes

There needs to be a standard rule regarding smoking in the Upper and Lower houses.

Tamisuke Watanuki

In all candor, the Court fails to perceive any reason for suspending the power of courts to get evidence and rule on questions of privilege in criminal matters simply because it is the president of the United States who holds the evidence.

John J. Sirica

The rule is if it's not a state car and you drove yourself, then you get the mileage allowance. Nothing else matters.

Paul Schoeman

A lot of the game ? free agency, salary caps, rule changes ? has gone by me. I'm a builder. It's a different kind of game now.

Bud Grant

Or another rule of thumb is to add one car length for every 10 mph you are traveling.

Steve Vitolo

I believe in the Law of everlasting struggle, which is the law of life, and in the duty of the best specimens of our race - the natural 'lite of mankind - to rule the earth, and evolve out of themselves a caste of supermen, a people 'like unto the Gods'.

Savitri Devi

I don't mind these rule changes. It's been pretty good.

Sami Salo

READING, n. The general body of what one reads. In our country it consists, as a rule, of Indiana novels, short stories in 'dialect' and humor in slang. We know by one's reading His learning and breeding; By what draws his laughter We know his Hereafter. Read nothing, laugh never -- The Sphinx was less clever! Jupiter Muke.

Ambrose Bierce

This is a huge step for Supervalu and we would not rule out some upfront indigestion, especially if the macro environment is not accommodating.

John Heinbockel

The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

Andy Rooney

Never rule out a school based solely on sticker base. That's our mantra. Work with the school to come up with a package you like.

Jim Barrett

People expect Byzantine, Machiavellian logic from politicians. But the truth is simple. Trial lawyers learn a good rule: 'Don't decide what you don't have to decide.' That's not evasion, it's wisdom.

Mario Cuomo

What the rule proposes to do is limit the spread and intensity of a mattress fire, which would give people more time to escape from their homes.

Julie Vallese

We firmly believe that our conduct and business practices are and have always been in full compliance with the law, and we are confident that if we were to conduct this litigation to conclusion, the court would rule in our favor.

Rebecca Caruso

The proposition is this: that in a time of war the commander of an armed force... has the power... to suspend all civil rights and their remedies, and subject citizens... to the rule of his will... If true, [our] republican government is a failure, and there is an end of liberty regulated by law.

David Davis

When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong.

Eugene Debs

There are too many governing bodies. They're all corrupt. I think they have replaced the old Mobsters with the kind of 'corporate rule' of boxing.

Larry Merchant

It is sort of ironic that the last person bumped off the team was me in 1994. But they do have a rule for special circumstances.

Michelle Kwan

The train should have been doing 10 mph when it hit that crossover; that's the rule, ... We will get an exact speed when we … see what the data recorders are telling us.

Mark Rosenker

You get what you concentrate upon... there is no other main rule.

Jane Roberts

It's clear that the vast majority of the Tibetan population resists Chinese rule and, therefore, the Dalai Lama is the symbol of the struggle of people for independence.

Gerald Segal

America is a land where men govern, but women rule.

John Mason Brown

Rule of thumb is that every concert set, which includes rehearsals, costs about $10,000.

Noralee Monestere

Club officials are not supposed to comment on charges and that rule has been in place for some time.

Brian Canavan

In an environment where the rule of law is still to be fully established, ensuring that there's no corruption is an extremely difficult thing to do.

David Nussbaum

EPA believes its cap-and-trade rule is the best approach to protect public health by reducing mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants while maintaining fuel diversity and energy security.

Eryn Witcher

The Bible is our rule of faith and doctrine.

Ellen G. White

Even one child impacted by lead is one child too many, which is why we are working on the rule to ensure that children will not be exposed to unsafe levels of lead when their homes are being renovated.

Eryn Witcher

When it comes down to it, a rule is a rule. I messed up. But, in a way I'm kind of glad it's all over. There is a sense of closure. We can move on.

Eric Osmer

That was a killer for us, it changed everything in the football game. The rule is once you move forward with the ball, the punter is a live target. The officials called that the punter had intent to punt the whole time after he picked it up off the ground. That's a tough call to make.

Eric Foust

While I can't rule out [a Juniper acquisition], I don't think it will happen.

Erik Suppiger

That was a rule that was changed probably for the convenience of the taxpayers.

Eric Erickson

Reasons why Harper's murder remains a mystery include the gang element involved in this case does not cooperate with police as a matter of rule. Harper was not well liked, (and) some felt Harper had it coming due to his violent past.

Erica Smith

To do exactly as your neighbors do is the only sensible rule.

Emily Post

The first of July is the first day of Chinese rule and the signal they're sending to the outside world is very negative.

Emily Lau

Heterosexual, gay, male, female. This is an even-handed rule. It creates a very even playing field.

Elizabeth Birch

The issues that we were facing were not related to stock holdings in great part, ... Therefore, this is where I convinced myself it was not necessary to have a blanket divestiture rule.

Elias Zerhouni

We're from Arizona. The No. 1 rule is never, never leave your vehicle.

Elbert Higginbotham

The Vatican is against surrogate mothers. Good thing they didn't have that rule when Jesus was born.

Elayne Boosler

To judge therefore of Shakespeare by Aristotle's rule is like trying a man by the Laws of one Country who acted under those of another.

Elizabeth Montagu

People have got to demand that their legislators support the concept of home rule. The legislature must take a more responsible, big-picture viewpoint.

Elizabeth Hagood

We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.

Edwin Markham

We don't know whether there is need for additional rule making or for guidance to the industry.

Ed Loyd

Absolutely, in a show like this. David is really unpredictable. He's not a rule follower.

Edie Falco

I think that medium on it will hold that probably to hold it all as a rule I am hoping.

Edgar Lourance

I felt bad about that stupid play. It's just frustrating, it's a new rule and you just have to deal with it.

Ed Belfour

The arbitrators have until April 15 to rule, so to us March 1 is a date that signals the start of the next step of the process, but it's not a deadline per se. We're committed to making progress.

Ed Bastian

We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.

Earl Nightingale

As a practical matter, they think that the new members of the parliament will be more amenable to pass these laws than the present one. They're comfortable that it will pass then. But they do not rule it out now.

Ziad J. Asali

As a rule, concentration is not good. But there are also circumstances lightening [judgment].

Eyal Yanai

So much is being neglected in Palestine today when it comes to the state of security and the rule of law. It is time to act before it is too late.

Eyad Sarraj

This is in itself an important reaffirmation of the rule of law, however it comes out.

Eugene Fidell
