Some day I wouldn't be surprised if we go back and take a look at this whole episode and really question whether or not we really had a recession.

Charles Lieberman

It's a great event. We were surprised at the amount of people that turned out last year. It's for a great cause and a fun way to kick of the new year.

Jack Carey

For the most part, Christmas is here and everyone is taking a well-deserved break, including Wall Street. Unless there's a significant deviation from expectations on the economic data, I'd be surprised if the market closed more than 30 points either way.

Andre Bakhos

A lot of the people -- a lot of the people who stayed wanted to do this destruction. They figured it out. And that's -- I'm not surprised.

John Gibson

Out of 30 years of Second City I was probably the third African-American with the main stage cast. I was surprised when I first heard that. I think part of the reason that improvisation has never been popular with African-Americans is that it isn't popular in the inner cities.

Tim Meadows

I was surprised that one didn't go in too.

Jim Noonan

I was so surprised. I wasn't expecting it. I knew I had been nominated, but I didn't think there was much chance.

Julie Dwyer

I'm not surprised Palm Springs wants to move out.

William Coakley

If something happens between now and the Super Bowl between us and Charter, I would be very surprised. I don't see it happening.

Tom Tipton

We have a body of information as to what we'll find in the outer solar system. But we're certainly prepared to be surprised.

Dale Cruikshank

To say the lake is any more dangerous or less dangerous, I don't know that I can say that, and I've been here 24 years. I'm somewhat surprised we don't have more accidents. But I'm pleased that a combination of a lot of things, including boater compliance to regulations and the efforts of the lake patrol, have made these lakes safe to use.

Gary Owen

I'm surprised I haven't won a race -- absolutely.

Brendan Gaughan

We are not surprised, but we are disappointed by the district attorney's decision.

Brian Dunn

I was kind of surprised because the way the wind was blowing, I thought there would be some concern about the possibility of rough waters.

Rob Pimental

I was surprised Russell (Baze, the rider of Lost in the Fog) didn't lay back a bit, but I think he knows once our horse gets his head in front he's tough to beat.

Alan Sherman

I guess it shouldn't have surprised me because the whole team's done it all year. We've been playing against teams that are fundamentally better than us all year and finished ahead of them. They just come to play every day.

Tom Epperson

The Street was surprised with the strength of the earnings in both quarters.

Howard Silverblatt

They've always been quick and borderline out of control. They looked quicker when we played defense the way we did. I was surprised how well they shot considering this isn't their home floor.

Jerry Wayne

It has surprised all of us that the economy has performed so strongly, but we think that the accumulated influence of higher rates both in the market and by the Fed will begin to take a little bit of starch out of the economy.

Carl Tannenbaum

I would be surprised. (Savage) just came here and he?s a great guy and a great person. But things happen for a reason and some things you can?t control.

Aaron Shea

Microsoft has cleaned up its development process overall by emphasizing security threat analysis and reducing the attack surface in their code. They have made progress, so I am not surprised that there is less likely to be vulnerabilities in IE than in any other browser.

Ray Valdes

I would be surprised if it stays on the site rest of the day.

Jim Tutwiler

I think we're all surprised with how well it all played out. We thought we had no chance and now the fence is practically finished.

Chris Thomas

I'm not surprised. That's the way Ben plays all the time. Wherever we go, if he's going up against guys 6-5 or 6-10, he just grins and relishes the challenge.

Chuck Curtis

We were disappointed in the city council but not surprised.

Jeff Turner

I knew he [Claxton] was going to be a big key for them at Penn State and I'm not surprised at all that he's doing good.

Aaron Lewis

I was surprised to get that rebound. I think I was behind the net, but my stick was in front. I got the lucky bounce and was able to squeeze it in. I don't think I saw any room there. I thought there might be, so I just tried to stick it right inside the post.

Marc Chouinard

What surprised me was that we were in the game in the first 10 minutes. All of my friends told me we were going to lose by 40 points, which we didn't. That means we did a lot of good things.

Demina Anderson

Olivia is always very good, very consistent. I think she was a little surprised she was the regional champion. I knew she had it in her to do this.

Rosemary Scheele

What happens in China is of real concern to us. Most of us have been quite surprised that there has not been some evidence of human disease in China and we always worry if that is a function of transparency or the cases just aren't there. We just don't know. And the doubts are troubling.

Michael Osterholm

I wasn't really surprised that Jacki scored as much as she did. If I left her in the game like that all the time, she could do this every night.

Tom Gonsalves

They're not asking for a bigger military and a lot of us are surprised by that. We see the strains on the current forces - we need to grow the force to reduce the strain.

Michele Flournoy

Overall, trends look good and in line with expectations. We were pleasantly surprised to see expenses decline on a linked quarter basis. Also, it appears that deposit growth accelerated in the final month of the quarter.

Jennifer Thompson

No, I'm not surprised that it's a huge deal. Michelle has been a marvelous champion. She's a terrific athlete. It's clear that skating fans everywhere adore her, and they should. She's been a terrific image for the sport of figure skating, so I'm not surprised that there's all this attention.

Ron Hershberger

I feel that we're on track and will be ready to go. Of course, every creative project has its challenges and mishaps, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how we've dealt with them.

Angelo Sorce

We weren't surprised. Alabama is a really strong team, and they've been to the [College] World Series. We knew it was going to be a battle. It just didn't work out the way we wanted to.

Lindsey Cameron

I was hoping the album would do well. But the nomination gives it a little validation, I guess. I mean, for a first project, it really did well, and I was a little surprised.

Dana Landry

When you kill 500,000 children in order to impose your will on other countries, then you shouldn't be surprised when somebody responds in kind.

Ward Churchill

I was surprised that a few companies did as well as they did, ... I was also surprised there were 10 companies that actively invite e-mail questions on their Web site and just don't bother to answer them.

Chuck Williams

At Dad's funeral, it was something. I think everyone was surprised to see the whole battalion of re-enactors there. We're family and that's really cool.

Tom Hewitt

He did speak globally when he talked about cancer and the effect it had on so many people. So I think he wouldn't be surprised that there are runs around the world now.

Darrell Fox

The market has been depressed, and has already discounted a Chavez victory. I don't know who was surprised by the reports and this was not a reason for anyone to sell. But the market is very weak and is very open to manipulation.

Jose Gregorio Tineo

I would not be surprised if we have a physical presence in Asia in the not too distant future.

Michael Bingle

We always thought it was out of line. Were we surprised? No.

Donald Fehr

I'm not surprised he's in the final as he's a good grass court player.

Roger Federer

I had nothing to do with generating this letter, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Geraldo Rivera

I wouldn't be surprised if attendance is down a little bit.

Barney Bishop

We're still collecting scientific data. I'm really surprised we haven't gone into emergency mode. This time last November, we were passing through this same zone, and we got clobbered.

Claudia Alexander

He's a great football player and whoever picks him up is going to be pleasantly surprised.

Andre Dobson

We are not that surprised that the company guided down for the first quarter given their previously announced weak production schedules. However, we are surprised by the magnitude of the first-quarter and 2005 revision, which suggests the further risk to production schedules in future periods.

Himanshu Patel

I'm surprised it was this good, quite honestly. And more importantly the guidance for next year on the gross margin line of 57 percent. I think people are going to be very encouraged given that's up pretty substantially from what they did this last year.

Dan Niles

Look, I know that there are people who are racist, but what surprised me was that he was so open about it. I know there is racism out there, but many people don't express it like that.

Alfonso Soriano

We were pleasantly surprised - it's a dream come true for all of us. Historically, the provider of the service to them is a much larger firm.

Kamren Colson

In the theater the audience wants to be surprised but by things that they expect.

Tristan Bernard

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we're going to see a strategic partner or partners coming in, one to provide actual further capital and support but also to provide content and make sure that content is coming thru.

Justin Urquhart Stewart

Honestly, if you had asked me if this was possible at the start of the season, I would have said yes. We have talented guys and it's just a matter of us playing together, so I'm not surprised.

Kirk Snyder

One of these numbers is going to be a peak. I don't think it's $520,000 (the BP deal), but I'd be surprised if it was over $700,000.

Philip Dodge

I'm not surprised affordable housing popped up as a priority (in the assessment).

Mike Stanfield

We expected a serious weakening on the left side of the body, but we were surprised to see him move his left side. That means that maybe the damage on the right side of the brain is not quite as bad as we thought at first.

Dr. Jose Cohen

The research team was surprised to find out more than 50 percent of four-year students were not in the proficient category and 75 percent of the two-year students were not. The proficient category does involve some of the more complex literacy tasks, but some that we would expect them to do.

Stephane Baldi

I'd be surprised if George Clooney didn't get three nominations.

Dave Karger

If for some reason the voters really want 3,500 homes and no commercial and they vote down the PUD plan, then we proceed with Plan B. I'll be surprised if the majority of people around there really want to see 3,500 homes.

Dan Griffin

He's already got offers from West Virginia, Rutgers, Syracuse, Connecticut and North Carolina. He's planning on going to Penn State's junior day this weekend and then Maryland's next weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if he came back from both of them with offers.

Sean O'connor

I imagine I have been portrayed as a complete scum bag but I think many people would be surprised.

Brian Blackwell

I wasn't surprised, all these guys are competitors. And we all want to come out here and show what we got.

Justin Fry

I'm not that surprised. Listening to the first-quarter conference call, [Chief Financial Officer] John Devine was agitated about European, South American, and as a whole, international results.

James Kelleher

We were trying to lean on each other and help each other. I was surprised how much of a lead I had at the end. During cross country, Robby ran with me and usually beat me.

Charles Schafer

The fact that I wasn't dressing, I was a little bit surprised, but I knew early in the week. We just needed more guys to play special teams. And I haven't been up on special teams, so we just needed more numbers in that area.

Bobby Wade

Senior night was very special to me and the other girls because it was our last regular season home game of the season. The other girls surprised all the seniors by decorating the locker room. We really have become a close group.

Jennifer Blocker

When science finally locates the center of the universe, some people will be surprised to learn they're not it.

Bernard Bailey

I'm not surprised that the FAA wouldn't answer any questions, because they haven't told us anything to date.

Mark Griffin

You'd be surprised. Girls like sensitive, namby-pamby guys.

Lizzy Caplan

I spoke with our girls about our defensive intensity before the game. I think we surprised them with that today, but we lost that in the second half.

Danielle Chaisson

I was surprised they kept the televisions on. You could see some people getting upset.

Howard Averill

I'm surprised it's not even worse, ... beginning to scratch their heads.

Rich Galen

I was surprised to see speculation of a policy change grow stronger. Bonds tumbled as stocks rallied on the solid economy. Yields are to rise in the next several months.

Shinji Kunibe

I thought they were going to challenge (the secondary) and throw the ball downfield. We were surprised when they kept going at us with the run.

Darrell Brooks

The Iraqis have consistently surprised us at every milestone.

Michael Rubin

My parents weren't surprised. They saw it coming and love Chris.

Allyson Darnell

We expected to do better here. But everyone was surprised by the weather. We haven't seen rain in Kenya in two months.

Catherine Ndereba

I'm surprised he had that many. Nothing comes easy when Bryan guards you.

John Mcneley

I was very surprised last fall at how many students used it.

Jenny Emanuel

The owner of the front house was surprised to hear so many people lived there.

Ken Dobson

Bowlers did a great job and I am pleasantly surprised at the capitulation of India's strong batting line-up.

Bob Woolmer

I still do stand by the fact that I was a bit surprised that nothing ever did come of it [the tackle].

Brian O'driscoll

I'm surprised by the drop in crude stocks and the further decline in crude oil imports.

Tim Evans

I find that people are wanting to cook more, garden more, but are not sure how to start. They are surprised to see a fresh bay leaf that they don't have to pick out of beef stew. They are really excited to learn that they can cook with the roses in their garden.

Karen England

I was surprised when a white glow covered the table. The quantum dots were supposed to emit blue light, but instead they were giving off a beautiful white glow.

Michael Bowers

I'd be surprised if they recommend clemency.

Robert Becker

They were surprised to be found and didn't realize that there was such a big deal being made over them. It sounds like they just decided to go off and do their own thing for the night, and we'd like to find out exactly what they've done.

Serg Palanov

We were surprised by our score with McFarland. They have a good team with a lot of guys back from last year. Our guys stepped off the bus very hungry and went after them hard.

Dave Hirsbrunner

I was very surprised to receive the award. As a coach, you're only as good as your players. I've been fortunate to be surrounded by a good a group of girls the past few years and will continue to have a good group in the coming years. All of the credit goes to the girls.

Kyle Adams

While many investors spoke of 'trading' the market, we were pleasantly surprised that some also were thinking of maintaining a more permanent presence. None said they were thinking of a permanent pull out.

Daniel Lian

I am surprised we did not see higher demand.

Alan Gayle

I surprised myself after sitting on the bench for three months. I thought I would have to ease into the season. I didn't think it was going to come this fast.

Mike Doherty

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some better athletic and designer brands in the stores.

Matt Powell

I wasn't thinking we were going to be able to beat Ohio State because they won the Big Ten in good fashion. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Tom Dunn

Inflation hawks may be eating crow today. Despite their fears of tight labor markets and a strong economy, inflation is only creeping, not accelerating. I don't think that this report assures that the Fed tightening cycle is over, but I wouldn't be surprised to see rising market expectations of a rate cut. With most prices in check and energy prices easing, this report is about as good as it gets.

Oscar Gonzalez

We're not surprised, but we're gratified.

Jake Mcintyre

To be honest, at the time I knew I was on the edge. I was surprised when I looked at the screen to see how close it was.

Ladell Betts

We're all surprised by the persistence of the housing boom, and it actually is a boom in our state. Interest rates have been rising for a while now, and the boom continues unabated.

Greg Weeks

They definitely (the athletic department) had a sense that I might be going. But I think a few were surprised. Some of the girls are sad that I am leaving, but I feel I am leaving at the right time.

Jim Ferraro

I am not surprised, but other than that, I really don't have any comment.

Skip Rutherford

I don't have a sense of entitlement or that I deserve this. You'd be surprised at the lack of competition between nominees - I think a lot of it's imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now?

Cate Blanchett

I'm kind of surprised there are no shippers. But I don't think my horse scared them away. Everyone is looking for graded-stakes winnings these days. If the Southwest was graded, you can bet they'd be coming out of the woodwork.

Bob Holthus

She believes that we are all here to help other people and she follows up with that by volunteering with various organizations. I was ecstatic when she received the award. Lori is very humble and she doesn't look for credit. We were both very surprised about it and she is very deserving of the award.

Neil Walker

I feel completely betrayed, not just by Cunningham but by the policies of the Bush administration. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Republicans are so disgusted they just stay home.

John Towers

We're not surprised. We're not pleased.

Barry Martin

Coach always tells us everybody wants to take the top dog down. I'm kind of surprised we're undefeated, but deep down we know we can handle anybody.

Adam Morris

I was kind of surprised they didn't get the ball to DeAngelo at the end.

Ole Miss

I've never been able to predict what people are going to get mad at. I've tried and I've always been surprised.

Aaron Mcgruder

We are recommending our clients to try to avoid the second half because the uncertainty with the electoral picture may bring volatility. It will be a period of increased risk, but we might be positively surprised.

Jose Olympio Pereira

I would be surprised if it passed because, even among the conservative board members, there are a couple of teachers. I would think that they would see the value in knowing about education.

Carol Rupe

We are surprised and disappointed that the arbitrators did not back our proposal.

Mariann Fischer Boel

I was not surprised the appellate court overturned one small part of the dismissal. Her case survived another day, that doesn't give it more merit, in our view.

Patrick Fitzgerald

I wasn't surprised. She's the type of kid who, if she has to carry the load, she will. We also got good contributions from the bench.

Jody Fincher

I could see it in practice this week; he had a little burst and got some wiggle back and some of the things he's always done. So I'm not surprised to see him break through and have a heck of a day.

Matt Kelchner

I'm very surprised, very much. I had no idea about the quantity.

Wes Smith

This case should have been settled but it hasn't, so I have to deal with that reality. I'm surprised you have left this decision to the court.

James Spencer

D.A. and I never really put much pressure on Bob today, ... I was surprised he had that hiccup on No. 3, but he bounced back right away. He didn't forget how to win.

Morris Hatalsky

I wouldn't be surprised to see (the Dow) trend lower because markets don't trend up in a time of rising interest rates.

Grace Fey

I wouldn't be surprised if some of it's showing up on eBay in some fashion, ... Some of that stuff can get expensive.

Mike Oliver

I was surprised; I didn't think it would get out. But Zach is capable of hitting the ball out of the park every time he comes to the plate.

Jim Simms

This was a contentious project. There was unfortunately a lot of citizen opposition, which we were really surprised about ? because you're talking very low use of a site.

Jane Edmondson

I was surprised myself about the long jump. I love competition and I saw another girl was getting close to my best so I just let it go. I am very happy. This was a great meet.

Deandra Doyley

This puts to bed the notion that they're done. I would anticipate they're going to go to 5 percent at the next meeting and wouldn't be surprised to see them go beyond 5 percent, and the market wasn't prepared for that.

Kevin Cronin

He'll need earmuffs in hell if he gets through the primary. There are some moderate Republicans over the mountains outside the Central Valley, but when they take a look at his record, I'd be surprised if they support him.

Ray Mcnally

I was totally surprised. I thought it was a mistake, but it really felt great.

Dana Landry

We had hoped for a victory. We knew there was some opposition, but it was spread out. We were definitely surprised by the difference of those being in favor of us once the final vote was tallied.

Keith Morris

I wasn't surprised by how the game was played in the first half. Rob's a good coach and he tried to slow things and they limited our touches offensively in the first half.

Pete Vincent

I'm surprised he's running to tell you the truth, in that someone who didn't protect the public trust as an employee is looking for the public's trust now.

Wayne Wilson

I'd be surprised if we get tacit admission from the company, but the takeover probably distracted Oracle's front-line sales reps and customers.

Jason Brueschke

We don't question the process. The process has been great. We're disappointed with the results. We're surprised. But we're on the right track. It's not like it was a few years ago. Back then, very few guys even got interviews.

John Wooten

I was very surprised in the way he won last time out, because when I rode him he came from way back. … He showed another dimension.

Shaun Bridgmohan

I would not be surprised to see sales in the second half of 1996 and sales in the first half of 1997 to be under pressure as a result of this finding.

David Garrity

We get a wide range of responses (to our phone inquiries and visits). Some people are surprised there is a fee to pay. Music is a part of the fabric of society and people forget that it is a currency - the finished product of someone's creativity. Others understand that this (music creation) is a business.

Laurence Godfrey

It's sweet. I've changed my equipment. I'm not surprised because I grew up skiing slalom. I just fell off the map for a while because of the speed races. It's always good to add another disciple you can do well at.

Lindsey Kildow

If it wasn't spaghetti I'd certainly be surprised. Ocala is a pretty conservative town and people like things to be the same. I think if it was not a spaghetti supper everyone would wonder why.

Brent Dorman

I'm not surprised because obviously he deserved it for a while now. But just for him to actually be told he's actually in the Hall of Fame, I think, means a lot to everybody. When we all found out (Saturday) morning, we all got a smile on our face. We're just happy for him because he does so much for us and for the game and for Connecticut that it really is a great honor for him that he deserves.

Diana Taurasi

You would be very surprised about what people don't think about.

Leslie Chapman

It happened a little sooner than we thought, but we weren't surprised that it happened.

Chris Waythomas

This year we surprised a lot of people. I'm happy now that it's done.

Kyle Avery

We were very surprised and very disappointed.

Bill Ferris

We were surprised in our room. Suddenly the police came in and didn't let us leave on the night before the competition. This happened without any positive result from doping control in the team. There's definitely no doping in the Austrian team. It's crazy.

Juergen Pinter

There has been conflict with ICANN about who should govern the Internet. We wouldn't be surprised if the Internet became fragmented, because some areas of the world really don't feel included.

Geir Rasmussen

I'm a little surprised. I'm overwhelmed.

Jerry Walker

Nothing in the earnings surprised me on the upside.

Shaojing Tong

I'm not surprised, ... He's a kid with some athletic ability who has worked his butt off. I'm not surprised at all.

Kevin Grimes

I wouldn't be surprised if we are talking about an offer from Harrah's on Monday. The real question is, who can get the most synergies out of Mirage's business? I still believe MGM is the best match.

Jason Ader

I'm surprised how much time each legislator puts into this job.

Jonathan Brown

I wouldn't be surprised if they just installed the software and weren't planning any dastardly activities and didn't know the implications of running this software.

Ray Everett church

I think even before the game, we were very confident that we could beat Ohio State. I think we're probably some of the only people who are not surprised right now.

Sarah Marshall

I was a little surprised that the policy wasn't in place when I got here.

Chief Daniel Oates

I'm surprised, particularly at how well the whites showed: crisp and summery.

Fred Dexheimer

I picked (Jamestown)No. 1 at the beginning of the year. ... When this group was sophomores they beat our sophomores 55-6, so I'm not surprised they're doing well.

Mark Gibson

We wouldn't want someone who everybody knows can kick ass because she's done it on screen twelve times before. We want someone who can be balanced so that you're somewhat surprised and she's somewhat surprised herself when she kicks ass.

Scott Rosenberg

We would have scored a lot more if we could have gotten the ball back more often. I was surprised by some of the things they were able to do to our defense that kept the ball from us.

Buddy Pough

I was actually pleasantly surprised with how well we did (in cold, wet conditions).

Dave Beeler

I'm more surprised than you guys by the score. We may have surprised them a little. That's not a speed thing, obviously; it's all effort.

Bryan Tucker

Our live show is pretty different from the record, so we're excited. People are surprised by the energy.

Michael Zakarin

Anybody in our league would have died to have him out of high school. He does all the little things. I don't think anybody really tried to see what his offensive talents are. He can shoot from 15 feet, he rebounds and finishes around the basket. I'd be surprised if he wasn't a double-double player for us.

Jeff Ruland

I'm just so surprised about all of this that I'm speechless. I never expected that I would be the first one to win a medal for Japan, so I didn't feel that pressure. But I'm very happy that I am the one who won it.

Shizuka Arakawa

I feel like I'm part of a big family, ... I meet blues singers all the time, and they're surprised that I'm a white girl but very supportive. And when they hear me sing, they just say, 'Girl!'

Susan Tedeschi

I know the last four months, I haven't had a single one. I'm surprised and grateful all at the same time.

Debra Moreau

I'm really expecting surprises. I'm really expecting myself to be surprised, when I want to look out and see what's going to play and what people are going to respond to.

Geoffrey Gilmore

We've got to lift ourselves, we are at home for the next two games and we will go into them with confidence. They have been great and have surprised a lot of people - probably themselves a little bit too. It is going to be a tough game and they will not give any team an easy ride.

Ledley King

I'm definitely surprised that he's back, but it's a pleasant surprise. This is going to be a big year for him. He's going to get a lot more innings against good competition and in big spots. It's going to be interesting to see how he responds.

Steve Ramharter

I was surprised that they changed the lines. I hope I'll play very well with Olli and Stumpy and help them score goals. I'm going to work hard in corners, get traffic in front of the net and rebounds.

Rostislav Olesz

He surprised himself by how well he played early on. He kept picking up momentum and by the end he felt he could take it to the next level. His name got out there late in recruiting then it picked up like wildfire.

Keith Simons

I am not surprised at the quality of Tua's next opponent; I am more embarrassed.

Kevin Barry

I really didn't expect much of a fan base but they surprised me. They built a new 300-million dollar stadium. There were about 40,000 fans. There was a big social scene. You just had to get used to the language, although a lot of the kids had been taught English or at least made themselves understood. It wasn't too different once you got settled in.

Clarence Curry

We're a bit surprised at how stable the market is in all categories. Usually one segment of the market will be outperforming the others. Right now, though, the same trends apply to all parts of the market from entry-level on up.

Marshall Prentice

B.J. came running up with the lights and siren, and they were really surprised. They all wanted to go up in the bucket; they're really excited.

Cotton Howell

I don't think anyone had known for sure what the demand was before. But as an analyst who has been studying this for a long time, it surprised me, the demand we saw.

Don Ryan

There is a danger that the stronger euro will snuff out the data, ... But at this point in time I would be very surprised if anyone is thinking about a rate cut, and instead they will be thinking about what is the timing of the first rise.

Rob Carnell

It shows very definitely the demand for the inner city. What it means for us is great. I'm surprised, but very pleasantly surprised.

Vince Pardo

I was surprised that they came out this soon and announced. It's really just a token one, but there's room for it to increase.

Drake Johnstone

When people start looking back on his career, they are going to be surprised by the number of things he did first. He left a great legacy in country music.

Roy Clark

I think Marty was really surprised. He had been complaining all day that nobody had called about his birthday.

Shirley Jones

Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead.

Charles M. Schwab

I was surprised. He didn't really say anything to them at halftime. All he said was they weren't getting on the floor enough. I don't think they're down about it. They just feel bad they didn't come with all they got tonight. I don't think they're down. They'll just come to practice tomorrow, work real hard, and get back on coach's good side.

Brandon Rush

We got the worst possible scenario today: no rate cut, but confirmation that there is weakness. However, I don't think anyone should be surprised by this.

Tim Smalls

I am pleasantly surprised at the wealth of artistic talent that has had a connection to South Jersey, either historic or present day. But I am even more surprised that we continue to learn of more such artists and entertainers every year. Any region of any state would be proud to be associated with artists of such stature.

Mark Fields

I'm not surprised both of these guys were up on the podium, and Mason was in fourth. We had hoped to sweep the podium, I won't lie. We ended up with first, second and fourth, and that's still pretty darn good. I'm really psyched.

Bud Keene

I'm a little surprised and very satisfied about (the margin of victory).

Ai Miyazato

He had a good game, I'm surprised that he played that well because he hasn't fully recovered.

Nel Parado

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't (make up) this game. They might not have school down there for three or four weeks.

Ricky Woods

It surprised all parties that we were really at the same place. I think everyone was looking for the same goals.

Julie Johnson

We're doing really good. I'm surprised, because going into the season we lost a couple of guys and I wasn't sure how we would do. We're coming along really good as a team and I'm proud of the guys.

Shane Mulpas

We were surprised when this law was brought to our attention as a result of the lawsuit because it effectively gives a veto power over something clearly within the (jurisdiction) of the Zoning Board, ... We don't know where this law came from nor why it was put on the books, but we do know that it has not been enforced and we have a legal obligation to either enforce it or repeal it.

Bruce Kennedy

People are surprised when they come into the shop. Most don't realize we are here yet. When they do discover us, they are surprised and pleased with what we offer.

Tiffany Williams

I'll be surprised if we get those. Some designers aren't familiar with us yet. ... But we're working on them!

Jane Kaczmarek

The Internet has been a rapid roller coaster, ... I'm not surprised.

Keith Benjamin

He actually knew all about the Olympics. I was just so surprised that this person who is so worldwide known knows me. It was cool to actually get to meet him.

Paul Hamm

It's one thing if [the Conservatives] had four or five years to deal with it. It's another thing if you're a minority government -- a slim minority. Forget about bank executives -- I don't think you'll find a single analyst who'd be surprised.

David Moorcroft

I am surprised that I am at the center of it.

Bernard Siegel

[Your curiosity was the characteristic that editors and reporters mentioned more than any other.] I think of The Times reader as curious, as someone who regards life as a continuing education, ... Each reader has a few subjects about which he or she may be passionate, even expert, and a more wide-ranging appetite that can be seduced, surprised, engaged on almost any subject if we present it well.

Bill Keller

We are evolving into a company with multiple platforms for growth. Over time, we expect an increasing penetration of our businesses in the professional contractor space. Consistent with our growth strategy, you shouldn't be surprised when we make strategic acquisitions like National Waterworks.

Bob Nardelli

I was surprised by the pictures of U.S. military officers in complete uniform and fully armed, which were published in a newspaper during (Rice's) visit to an Islamic elementary school. I agree that was too much.

Hassan Wirayuda

Am I surprised? Let's say I was hopeful and we have been working towards this.
