Samuel Johnson
If you build that pipeline out of Alaska, all that gas is captive to North America. LNG projects are different in that, by putting it on a ship, you have multiple markets you can serve. That's the strategy most companies are pursuing.
Bob Ineson
Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment.
Owen Felltham
The name was a perfect blend of everything we were trying to accomplish. It's inspired by the Coast Guard and a specific type of ship, and also refers to a kind of pitch. We're helping to teach a new generation about the cutter.
Shawn Holliday
They actually run a pretty tight ship.
Jamie Thompson
Several ships have (the outbreaks), but it's not a cruise ship problem. It's a people problem.
Dave Forney
I don't think we have lost out on players because of our fan base, which as the smallest in the Premier-ship is given as main reason for saying we will go down.
Lee Mcculloch
We had discipline. It was very key for us. I had it with the football program. He had it in basketball, too. We ran a tight ship.
James Armstrong
Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.
John Calvin
The ship was no longer fit. The ship was being sued by its crew for payment of back wages, which they never received. There was, in fact, a lawsuit -- which the crew won.
James Dodson
DuPont is a big ship, and it doesn't turn quickly, but it is clear that it is turning in the direction of industrial biotech.
Brent Erickson
Two Men and a Truck just donated pallets to put the food on and are also looking into arrangements to ship the food down there.
Vito Galati
Tom runs a very tight ship. You do not turn up late and you don't muck around - he's strict with himself and everyone he works with.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers
It must have been quite a sight as that big pirate ship came loose and ran aground during the hurricane. I'm glad I wasn't there.
Paul Collins
It's unfortunate to lose the ship. But if that's the cost of having nobody really hurt or killed, then fine, I think we'll live with that.
David Hahn
Yes, I know. But I'm not the boss. The coach (Jacques Santini) is master of the ship. It's up to him to say.
Marcel Desailly
It's extremely difficult to get these jobs because you can't get a job on a ship unless you have seaman's paper's, and you can't get seaman's papers unless you have a job on a ship. There had to be a way to break through the circle, and he was the one who arranged it for me.
Paul Auster
Hopefully, Tyrone can bring in the same kinds of players Don James had with his staff. If that happens, it won't take long to correct the ship.
Sonny Sixkiller
I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the Rock and I'll be back like 'Independence Day' with Jesus, June 6, like the movie, big mother ship and all. I'll be back.
Aileen Wuornos
We've got to do better than that one inning. We've got to get an out when they give us one with the bunt. But we righted the ship, (Danny) Farquhar came in and got a couple of big outs and Chad (Beck) did what he's supposed to do in the ninth.
Tony Robichaux
We source locally for items that would be prohibitively expensive to ship.
Joe Carson
Following the recent management change and restructure, Eidos is able to reevaluate its calendar of releases giving us the opportunity to make changes in the best interest of the business. It is in light of this review that we have decided to move the ship date for 25 to Life from October 2005 into next year.
Bill Gardner
Had the technology to dispose off the toxic ship been cheap and easy, the French themselves would have taken care of the ship instead of giving away the business to India.
Vandana Shiva
It's no longer a museum piece. She's actually a living ship.
James Ellis

Brian Morrison
Approximately two-thirds of East Ship was lost to the storm.
Jim Graves
We are loaded with a lot of weaknesses. As a coaching staff, we are trying to stay positive and keep the kids positive and right this ship as the season progresses.
Fred Thompson
He was lined up straight with the ship canal. All of a sudden, he went port (left) and hit the wall.
Dale Mitchell
We will convey at IDF that we're on track to ship Dempsey in the first quarter of 2006, and Woodcrest is on track for the second half of 2006.
Scott Mclaughlin
One time we were on a cruise and the weather was horrible - the ship was going up and down. Don had the time of his life, yelling for joy as he let his chair careen down the hallways, bouncing up and down. Everyone else was throwing up.
Janice Mohr
The water had violated three of the 18 compartments. I think the captain decided that the safest thing to do was to land that ship on sand.
Lynn Martenstein
I definitely felt my main responsibility was to allow Joanne to focus on the things that were most important for her and her family and to keep the ship moving in the right direction. It was a really interesting experience. I told her that I have more respect than ever for what she does.
Lindsay Gottlieb
Dinners back then were the event of the evening ? it took several hours to eat. I guess you could say they ate enough to sink a ship.
David Kaplan
It's very delicate to ship. The season is short.
Jim Howard
That's huge when everyone is running away from you. It's important to keep your customers happy, ... I think he deserves enormous credit for steadying the ship, for giving the new guy (something) to work with. A rout isn't much fun.
Iain Grant
The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.
Theodore Parker
Parents raise hell and refuse to send their kids to classrooms infested with asbestos. Yet every day they ship their children off to schools riddled with illegal drugs. When parents feel as strongly about drugs in our schools as they do about asbestos, we will have drug-free schools.
Joseph Califano
ADMIRAL, n. That part of a war-ship which does the talking while the figure-head does the thinking.
Ambrose Bierce
That requires the heavy lift ship to actually ballast or flood down. It could appear to the casual observer that a ship is sinking in Elliot Bay.
John Lockwood
This ship brought vice, violence, protection and cash into Seattle.
Lorraine Mcconaghy
A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.
Grace Murray Hopper
Ever since we've had these light houses, not one ship has come into our house. About twice a year they have to have a new bulb put in.
Carolyn Harvey
I haven't even asked headquarters to ship stuff; they just know we need it and they send it.
Michael Davidson
It's another one of those more serious contraction phases that are followed by buying on the dip. I don't think the catalysts are there yet to sink the ship. I'm still on the side of the angels, although I recognize that we can easily have a 15 percent correction here.
Ulric Weil
I think, unless Saddam Hussein falls in a hole one day or somebody shoots him in the head, I personally think he is prepared to go down with his ship.
Lawrence Eagleburger
First, when they made us get out we had to go on a Navy ship on the Mississippi River. We sat there for about three days. Then they shipped us over to the airport, from the airport to here.
William Miller
People don't come to your games to see your manager. I can understand why some people will feel that this was based on Alan's popularity here. But really, we could not afford to make this decision based on that, because we need to right this ship.
Dave Dombrowski
The deck of the ship which Grace captains, to the court of Queen Elizabeth I where the two remarkable women once met.
Frank Galati
We righted the ship and then Smith pulls his stunt and leaves us. We've just got to keep plugging away.
David Franke
We are certainly much smaller than the mother ship, but we are doubling in size every year and are profitable.
Dave Girouard
I have not yet begun to fight (as his ship was sinking, 23 September 1779).
John Paul Jones
It's the right thing to do. He is the captain of the ship and it needs to be said. Somebody has to stand up and say what needs to be said.
Charles Gittins
It was literally a miracle. There was no other ship in the area ... able to pick up the crew.
Harry Costello
What I'd like to be able to do is find out who the criminals are and ship them out.
Dave Nabity
I think we've righted the ship and are ready to play some good basketball.
Brian Schankin
I love being blown away by something bigger than myself, like a ship on a stormy sea, and Peter Grimes does that.

Jack Kramer
Don't give up the ship.
Oliver Hazard Perry
This ship will now serve as an educational resource to help people better understand the history of the vessel, the Coast Guard, and the maritime history of the Great Lakes.
Bart Stupak
We thought a ship had hit us.
Glen Taylor
It's unclear on which ship (Hickok) died. There were seamen who were killed on shore, in attacks, or he could have been between ships.
Larry Greer
A ship in harbor is safe--- but that is not what ships are for.
John A. Shedd
We don't get whole hanging beef in anymore. That was 25, 30 years ago. There's only a half-dozen, or a dozen, suppliers in the country. They all ship to our main warehouse.
Chris Price
Definitely, there is a turning around of the ship here. Earnings are improving and investors are starting to respond to that.
Ram Kolluri
Everyone on the ship is trying to decide if we should deliver the ship via the Panama Canal or the Northwest Passage.
Jim Mccauley
Clearly the flag was there, ... because the intercepts show that the helicopter pilots saw it immediately, before they ever even got up to the ship.
James Bamford
He was an amazing person. And like the ship, he has been completely forgotten.
Tim Phillips
You can't mix ethanol in gasoline and ship it in a pipeline. The ethanol will corrode the pipe.
David Cowley
That gave us an opportunity to right the ship. We can remind them of that.
Drew Clarkin
There is no more room on the ship.
Judy Arrington
Even in Chapter 11, we are continuing to operate under normal circumstances. We will continue to ship products on time to all of our customers. We have not disrupted any of our customers at this point and plan to continue meeting our commitments.
Chuck Hartlage
It is a continuous cycle. When we ship it out, we hope they will take them to a recycle center, and they send them somewhere else.
Scott Berry
We view Stoney's as an old ship going under. We fixed it up because we love this whole idea of a place to hang out.
Martin Klein
[Another 400 Marines will return to Britain from the training exercises,] but will be held at a high readiness, ... This arrangement will permit us to rotate companies aboard ship and so guarantee the whole Commando remains fresh and fully prepared for operations.
Adam Ingram
If the price goes up and stays up in the Southeast, the oil companies will take some gas and ship it around there.
Tim Hamilton
Divers have found there is no air left in the holds of the ship. That means sea water has filled the area, leaving no chance of survival.
Can Karaca
Pirate fishing is a global threat to the oceans and those who depend upon them. We hear fine words from governments about tackling the problem – but if they were serious then we wouldn't need to be here and offer our ship to the Guinea authorities. The first thing that must be done is to close ports to pirate fishing boats, deny them access to markets and ensure that companies are prosecuted.
Sarah Duthie
The Reverb Communications team brings the type of gaming experience we are looking for as we get ready to ship a number of exciting console and PC titles into the marketplace.
Chester Aldridge
You just hope the other players can hold the ship. Our subs played real well.
Michael Kroll
He was out there throwing the ball extremely well. One guy I know will be there is Trent. I don't care if he had to go out there with one leg. He's a competitor. He's the guy who drives our ship.
Tony Richardson
The Big Blue ship is leaking and creaking, and the new skipper says there's no need to change, ... Just keep those fingers plugged in the leaks, as we rehearse the sinking ship drill at Armonk. Well, investors think there is good reason to change. They are voting with their feet, just as we predicted back in January.
Bob Djurdjevic
Intel, for example, has only recently begun to ship a 64-bit chip.
Bob Bishop
We've got our own high-speed network between the stations now. Geography is down to zero. It positions us to be very innovative for the future. We'll be able to ship more programs back and forth that we probably wouldn't do because it's too costly. Stations that don't have the ability to uplink with a satellite have to Fed-ex programs now.
Robert Daino
As we look down the road four or five years from now we'll realize that the Internet is an important customer service enhancement for the transportation industry. But 90 percent of the time the important thing is 'Did the ship get out of the dock on time?' and 'Did it get into the dock on time.' It's the same for truck or rail.
Jim Winchester
The seller of the book keeps $2.26 to cover their costs to ship the book to the customer. If it costs them less than that -- and in a lot of cases it does -- then they keep what's left over.
Drew Herdener
The previous high we had was for the Love Bug. That went for just over $24,000, and that was a car. All I can say is, this will be much less costly to ship.
Maria Schmidt
I'm not expecting any of Auburn's commitments to jump ship on signing day. That would come as a shock to me and as a shock to those associated with the program.
Bryan Matthews
It is extremely easy to go back, haul the boat out of the water and ship it back to the factory if we need to, which is something that wasn't around in Asia before this.
Keith Moore
We definitely didn't come out with an attitude that we were going to take it to them. There just wasn't a mental sharpness about our play. It showed straight away from the beginning. Once you start out like that, and you get into that lethargic mood, it's almost impossible to right the ship and try to come back. We couldn't really right the ship.
Danny Califf
During the Christmas season online retailers ship two or three times what they would normally do.
Sarah Taylor
The Prophet's Cam-u-el, that primal Desert Ship.
Arthur Guiterman
So that a French ship that's going to be decontaminated in India will be done according to the same standards used in the homeland.
Martin Besieux
This market has no leadership. It's like a rudderless ship, bobbing up and down on the ocean. What's up one day, is down the next.
John Kinsey
A ship with a capacity of 500 that carries 30 passengers in winter is a loss-making one. We, however, can help the situation with 19-person loads, which is our full capacity.
Tassos Govas
The infrastructure is there now to right the ship.
Attorney General Terry Goddard
It's another two hits on a ship that is not very seaworthy to begin with.
James Walston
Nobody wants to see the ship go anywhere. The Navy likes it here, and I believe the city does as well.
Richard Conti
[It is] a ship with a great deal of sail but a very shallow keel.
Robert H. Bork
If the feedback doesn't turn up anything horrible in the next half day or so, we'll be in a great position to ship this beta.
Asa Dotzler
This validates his golf product and gets his name out there nationally. The Ginn name is like a rocket ship right now.
Kent Atherton
Power system problems that you see in a ship are similar to ones you see with electric utilities.
Jim Ferner
We need to look at whatever we can do collectively to improve traffic on the ship channel.
Chris Fisher
A ship is always referred to as she because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder.
Chester W. Nimitz
People were screaming and yelling, they were trying to climb back onto the ship.
Jaikumar George
After eight years of being in the cellar of the ship, buyers are in the captain's seat. In addition to having low interest rates, they can be far more patient, diligent, have more inventory to look at, ask the seller to do more and command a good deal. That's the big market picture that's unfolding.
Brad Inman
It was an enormous ship. You wouldn't believe what it takes to feed all of the men.
Jerry Cole
One minute I was about to be lynched in Anniston, and then a few years later I find myself on a ship going to Vietnam to serve as a medic.
Hank Thomas
With all the guest amenities, innovations, and groundbreaking facilities on this spectacular ship, it's easy to see why Royal Caribbean named her Freedom. Our guests will have the freedom to choose a vacation that fits their own individual taste and style. And that is what an Atlantis vacation is all about.
Rich Campbell
When you have an orchestra, you don't want to just jump ship and leave. This has been a wonderful venue for me.
Paul Nadler
I've got them hidden and I'm not telling you where they are. Don't tie my ship up against another one or there's going to be missing things by tomorrow.
Lyle Johnson
The ship is five stories tall, but it took less than 15 minutes for it to go down. Then there was nothing at all, no rescue, nothing.
Nazih Zaki
This ship was a league from us, and some of the men would have taken her, and I would not consent to it, and this Moore said I always hindered them making their fortunes. Was that not the reason I struck him? Was there a mutiny on board?
William Kidd
It's pretty close. Rock bottom will be in April if we don't make the playoffs. We've got 68 games to get this ship turned around. Obviously these are crucial points, but nothing is over yet.
Doug Weight
We need to right the ship soon. We are off track and need to believe in ourselves before we go to Riverside next week.
Tim Willis
This ship has become an icon of controversy on security in Asia, Africa and Europe and it must not be allowed to reach India's state of Gujarat for breaking.
Martin Besieux
You can't tell me there aren't places to save a penny or two on the dollar and ship it to relief in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, ... I just don't believe it as I look around.
Jeb Hensarling
I have to explain everyday that we can't ship, that the laws of Kansas restrict us from shipping and everyone thinks that's ridiculous.
Tom Braddy
This ship is righted again, I think, and we've got the wind in our sails.
Keith Burns
Continued operation of our facilities has allowed us to improve our technology and increase throughput efficiencies. This increased capacity is very important in any plant, but particularly for a ship-based design where deck space is limited.
Jack Holmes
You were the captain of the ship. Your hands were firmly on the wheel.
Sean Berkowitz
This is a team effort right now, everyone's pulling their oars in the same direction and the ship is moving forward.
Andrew H. Card Jr
The speed at which the ship sank and the fact there were not enough life rafts on board confirm that there was a (safety) problem but we cannot anticipate the results of the investigation.
Suleiman Awad
I know a lot of people were bracing for the worst. But they've righted the ship, stabilized things and have everybody rowing together. And you have one of the best market environments in some time.
Tim Woolston
I'm attached to my sailors. I'm not attached to my ship. (As) long as I bring my sailors back home to their wife, their parent, I have done my job. We go on any ship as long as I keep my sailors on board that particular ship.
Allen Walker
They are poster kids for their comrades back in Mexico. We don't plan to try to ship 100,000 animals into the United States from Mexico. Our goal is 10 to 12 dogs a month. And with each shipment, our hope is to tell people about the plight of dogs and cats across the border.
Sean Hawkins
Our franchises were very excited to be involved in this collection project. Liberty will ship all phone donations to Cell Phones for Soldiers.
John Hewitt
We are very, very bullish on the prospects for the electronic book, ... I don't think our projections are as optimistic as Microsoft's, but we definitely see it happening and being a substantial part of our future business. It could radically alter the economics of publishing. It will change the manufacture-ship-get returns model. You don't have to manufacturer five to sell three.
Adam Rothberg
The heroes of Cole achieved what they were reaching for. They made a difference on their ship, with their shipmates and in our Navy and forever in our history. May they rest in peace.
Vern Clark
They're like a family up here in the north. The ship was like their home.
Jackie Miller
Often undecided whether to desert a sinking ship for one that might not float, he would make up his mind to sit on the wharf for a day.
Lord Beaverbrook
Shoppers seem to be gaining confidence in online merchants' ability to ship products quickly.
Steve Loyola
There is a real possibility that they went down with the ship.
David Hahn
Most of the people who served on board the ship (with me) have a hearing problem.
Romeo Rasing
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
John Enoch Powell
A partisan battle in the Senate is politics as usual, and he won't suffer nearly as much from that as he's suffering now from all the talk about corruption and Republicans jumping off the ship. This is the easiest thing to do.
Stephen Wayne
Project Genesis truly is a remarkable ship. Its bold design, daring innovations and technological advancements will delight our existing cruisers and help us draw in new ones.
Richard Fain
Where lies the land, to which the ship would go?Far, far ahead is all, her seamen know.And where the land she travels from?Away, far far behind, is all that they can say.
Arthur Hugh Clough
I can't tell you how much we laughed on the set to have Alec Guinness in a scene with a big, furry dog that's flying a space ship.
Mark Hamill
He didn't sell any stock. He went down with the ship.
Keith Hampton
This building has legs and it wants to have conversations in different cultural contexts and cities. This is almost like a pirate ship that's arrived ashore.
Gregory Colbert
I very much appreciate having the confidence of the full board of directors. We are going to be able to right the ship and do good things.
Michael Forbes
We want to embed just a little bit of the IT manager directly into each piece of silicon we develop and ship into the marketplace.
Pat Gelsinger
We can't ship a box or buy or inventory anything without the system running. That's why we spend so much on making sure the system is reliable.
Glenn Wood
It's a roll-on, roll-off ferry, and there is a big question mark over the stability of this kind of ship.
David Osler
[One party to the conversation recalled:] Someone fired out, 'What about Bob, what's he going to do? ... Well, he can ship his mail-order bride back on the boat.
John Brogden
We'll get a better sense of the state of the sea bottom, state of the ship, besides doing the pollution issues.
David Hahn
It took about two years to float our first ship. Now we've got three cruise lines looking for our business next year.
Nancy Tiemann
We call upon the Indian Ministry of Environment to scrap their decision to allow this ship to come to India.
Ramapati Kumar
It's not like I'm jumping ship. I'll always have Nebraska in the middle of my heart. But several factors made Kansas State the best choice to start off my coaching career. Now, I'm just anxious to get started in the coaching profession.
Scott Frost
Port Symphonies is more of a composing project rather than a conducting project. The score is written in time, in seconds. The notes translate to ship horn on, then ship horn off.
Diane Labrosse
Once the comet images were unavailable for months. Some people claimed it was because the mother ship was parked in front of the satellite, and that NASA deliberately censored the images to hide it for the public.
Paal Brekke
They were very large and did extensive damage. This one appears to have been very large and shaped so that the blast went into the ship.
Richard Clarke
The crew responded with a trained response that they do to keep people from getting on the ship. They managed to evade them, repel them and keep them off the ship.
Bruce Good
A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.
Henrik Ibsen
We even had to ship a 27-by-15 customized rug to a customer in Florida. Before, she just had two smaller area rugs and just wasn't happy with that look.
Alan Woody
An anchor is what keeps a ship from drifting into dangerous waters. It keeps us steady and secure during the night, and that's what Peter was to ABC News.
David Westin
Brings good vocal ship and good insight to the game. He has a good scoring ability.
Morris Hodges
It costs $55 to $60 to ship each box.
Butch Klein
Just because Scotty never got the girl, it did not mean he couldn't get a girlfriend, ... He was just too busy saving the ship while Kirk was off on a date.
Alan Black
It's not realistic for us to us to wear hearing protection. There are times you take it off, and you forget to put it back on. That's how it is onboard ship.
Romeo Rasing
We just going to ship around Columbia.
Justin Bradshaw
The problems you are seeing on the ship are a magnification of the problems you are seeing in parks across Texas. We are putting a Band-Aid on a very large wound.
Barry Ward
The cruise ship is only for people over the age of 21, for upperclassmen and for faculty from off-campus housing that was unsalvageable from the storm.
Stephen Frapart
Don't wait for your "ship to come in," and feel angry and cheated when it doesn't. Get going with something small.
Irene C. Kassorla
There were modern aids to navigation, good weather forecasting ... and yet a 729-foot ship disappears without a cry for help or survivors. The mystery prevails today.
Tom Farnquist
The Gainesville Chamber of Commerce organized a drive to collect books to be donated to the Gainesville Victory ship. Two hundred books were collected.
Margaret Johnson
We're ready to ship in the morning, ... It should be on the shelves at some pharmacies on Friday or Saturday and available virtually nationwide by the first of next week.
Bruce L. Downey
It's still somewhat of a coin toss. The odds lean against the possibility of this coming up the Houston Ship Channel.
Jim Ritterbusch
It's the most thorough account of what the ship did, and when, that I have ever seen.
Robert Walters
But it's not that nice and easy and smooth. Everybody, specially the elected officials, has to work hard to repair the hole in our not so modern ship.
Fidel Ramos
This is the critical moment for the Coast Guard to act. If this generation of calves is decimated by ship collisions, the species is unquestionably doomed.
Kyla Bennett
Here the transcripts are saying, 'Well, you know, there may be people speaking English on this ship,' ... Why would you say that if it's an Egyptian ship, carrying horses?
James Bamford
I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
Louisa May Alcott
Forrest Sherman represents the culmination of the art and expertise of building our nation's surface combatants. They have no peer in the world -- not even close. Today we build this ship for 55 percent of the cost of the original -- a far more capable ship for about half the price. This kind of stability empowers U.S. industry to give its best -- and we have.
