The tsunami itself has brought the two parties to the negotiating table to allow free passage for the humanitarian workers to be able to carry out their normal duties, in which they have really excelled.

Bakhtiar Abdullah

Bobby was a true maverick and a true risk-taker. He was unlike anyone else. He put all his cards on the table.

Amy Pascal

Other than that, defensively, we did a tremendous job, got a bunch of sacks and kept pressuring the quarterback. They couldn't throw the ball downfield and we stopped their running game. Overall the defense really stepped up to the table.

Don Strock

My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table; I had a tremendous music education.

Renee Fleming

We're not just in the TV business anymore ... We're going to the table as a sports media company.

George Bodenheimer

I am ready to sort out the matter on the table. I invite them [his rival group in the board] to sit with me. There are expert agencies like Price Waterhouse Coopers and McKinsey. Let us take their help on various issues.

Jagmohan Dalmiya

Don't put your feet on the table, ... You know better.

Bruce White

When we table a subject, we're not using it as a tool to make it go away. It's a tool we use to make more informed decisions.

Jacci Jahnke

We could get to a table within hours. We could meet overnight and we could avert tomorrow.

Jinny Sims

I'm looking forward to see what Williamson County brings to the table. I know there's a pretty high standard in culinary arts in the county and I can't wait to see what they bring out.

Bethany Thouin

If we don't clean up our corrupt system of financing political campaigns, the people's agenda won't get done, ... Our loophole-ridden campaign finance system puts the special interests at the table, while locking moms, dads and kids out of the room.

Marty Meehan

Did it come up? Sure. Some people want him to do it, but as far as we know it is not an option on the table.

John Weaver

This is only an interim deal. Everything is going to be on the table again in the comprehensive talks — including pay rates.

John Culp

I always hold out hope. Mediation is an opportunity for each side to present their case, and for us to get back to the table again.

Doron Weber

We can't predict the future, but we've said all along that those that settle earlier will do better than those that didn't come to the table at the appropriate time.

William Lerach

Unless there's a complete turnaround, there's a lot of parity in the 4-5-6 teams. We need to run the table to get in the top two slots.

Tj Dade

Nick?s been a big part of our success. If we don?t have him [tonight], I think we still can be very competitive, but he brings a special flavor to the table, and that?s his quickness. He averaged 10 points a game, but more than that he?s good for at least six steals and maybe six assists a game.

Mark Mallisham

If you look at the macro picture of what the market has done the last two days, it's been completely driven by momentum buyers, ... You've had two or three days of very strong performance and then coming into a weekend, people are just taking a bit off the table. It's a healthy neutral day. The bias is that it's much better to buy than it is to sell.

Michael O'hare

I've always thought with relationships, that it's more about what you bring to the table than what you're going to get from it. It's very nice if you sit down and the cake appears. But if you go to the table expecting cake, then it's not so good.

Anjelica Huston

Forget the governors and senators. He sups at that front table where it's decided who the governors and senators will be.

Larry Forgy

We are unable to set a target at this point. UK Sport's ultimate goal … is to finish fourth in the 2012 Olympic medal table, finishing as top European nation, and retain our second place in the Paralympics, whilst aiming for the top spot.

Liz Nicholl

CAPITAL, n. The seat of misgovernment. That which provides the fire, the pot, the dinner, the table and the knife and fork for the anarchist; the part of the repast that himself supplies is the disgrace before meat. _Capital Punishment_, a penalty regarding the justice and expediency of which many worthy persons - including all the assassins - entertain grave misgivings.

Ambrose Bierce

We'd go on calls together, and I'd watch how he handled them. He'd split the commissions with me, and that's what sustained me. By the end of my first year with Lang, I qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table.

Lee Bethel

It's tough at his size. What he brings to the table is his attitude and his athleticism. He gets to the paint and he finishes.

Dave Stubbs

Northwest does not want a strike and we remain actively engaged at the negotiating table. At the same time, however, we have the responsibility to make orderly and timely provisions to minimize confusion and disruptions should a strike occur. We want to keep our passengers fully informed and to assist them with alternative travel arrangements.

Jon Austin

We want to get everyone at the table, ... The more I dig into this, it's a very complex issue. We want to make sure we protect personal property rights and not close the door on economic development.

Bob Gibbs

It's a big-time tease. It's like licking your chops at the dinner table and not being able to eat. ... We've been like a traveling circus. But it's been a lot of fun.

Jeff Tisdel

Eastern Europe has been really trendy. Prague is the best-preserved city in the region ... and the best beer in Europe lands on your table there for 50 cents.

Rick Steves

We are a full service florist with fresh-cut flowers, silk arrangements, balloons, table decorations, cake-a-grams, plush, greeting cards and candy.

Sandy Prince

Washington is the only city in the world where you can go to a black-tie dinner and there at the foot of the table is a television set up to catch a press conference.

Hugh Newell Jacobsen

It wouldn't be right to return to the table and negotiate a formal agreement absent a tangible demonstration of respect for what Canada has accomplished in the quasi-judicial system.

Frank Mckenna

As far as where I fit in the back court, that's not for me to answer. My play will have to decide that. I came here to play hard; I bring leadership to the table and defensive effort. This team is already a good basketball team so they don't have to adjust to me, I have to adjust to them.

Antonio Daniels

You know when you go to a wedding and you're dreading who you have to sit with? I always felt like I constantly got stuck at the table with all the singles. And you're just sitting there, trying to make small talk over this enormous (table) centerpiece.

Rob Thompson

I remember on that occasion, Roz invited a group of friends to gather around a festive table for a meal, with flowers, wine bottle and a portrait of Edith as the centerpiece.

W. Hull

They have a credible offer on the table. Let them take it to the shareholders and we shall see.

Nazir Razak

The picketing is for informational purposes. We are, in fact, going to be back at the bargaining table in a couple of weeks, so a lot of the concerns they're expressing will be taken up at the bargaining table.

Lynelle Jolley

Ben will sit at the head of the table and be the force that guides things. The whole institution is strong.

Stephen Cecchetti

He met me with politeness and dignity, ... Turning to the officers at the table, he remarked: 'General Wallace, it is not necessary to introduce you to these gentlemen; you are acquainted with them all.'

Lew Wallace

I make enough to keep a roof over our heads and keep food on the table, ... But there's not money for any extras.

Mary Cole

It was a bit bumpy in the first half hour. That was probably down to the game on Thursday, but we came back and had a lot of chances on the counter-attack. It's good to go up the table a bit.

Rudi Voeller

Essentially, what she left on the table at the TSX, they're making up for it here.

David Moorcroft

But people who are coming in later aren't necessarily looking for that. They're looking to get something off their kitchen table or out of their office that has to be mailed. It's going to benefit everybody in the community, as well as businesses.

Pat Mcgovern

It was big for us. I was glad (Shields) stepped up and knocked the shots down. That's all we ask, that they bring something to the table and play hard.

Mario Little

Our interest today is to ensure that this energy and concern will be harnessed towards convincing negotiators and leaders of Afghan factions alike of the benefits of including Afghan women as full partners in the decision-making process around the peace table, in humanitarian efforts and in reconstruction of the country.

Angela King

It's important that we have a thorough investigation of the accident...so the American people know everything is on the table.

Ralph Hall

We hope to discuss all contentious issues with the government across the table since our main aim is to bring the ULFA into negotiating table.

Indira Goswami

I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. If he gets a shoulder on anyone it usually disrupts their path and that's not always the case at the running back position. So I like the power that he brings to the table.

Bret Bielema

The way a person moves tells you a lot about them. Look at the way I'm holding this coffee mug. If I were to thump it down on the table, I wouldn't be respecting your tape recorder. If I move it gently, it means I am showing some respect. These are the things I bring to my performances.

Robert Carlyle

I've put in hard word at the practice table in recent weeks, and it paid of. It is important to prove that your game is there - especially a few days before the start of the Grand Prix.

Mark King

The media world is changing out of all recognition. Technology has to have a seat at the table.

Michael Grade

Yeah, they'd be on the tour making money and earning a living to put food on the table. On the Division I level, with the players we have and the players we have coming in, we hope to compete not only in the Valley, but also on a national level.

Chase Hodges

To put that offer on the table for the next three months, it's clear to me that they're willing to steer the price lower, ... They really don't want every U.S. consumer to park their SUV and buy gasoline-electric hybrids -- they don't want to trigger that kind of consumer response.

Tim Evans

I don't think we will ever be able to stop. It's finishing (construction on) one before starting another one, but always having them all on the table and continuing to work toward the ultimate completion of all of them.

Larry Bush

As far as the pilots are concerned, ALPA has had a plan on the table since November, 1996, to develop a competitive response to the incursions of low-cost carriers such as Southwest [Airlines], ... Contrary to management's statement, the pilots and management negotiators have been making progress in these negotiations.

Jim Gardner

This is a crucial time for her. There is a window of opportunity in this post-conflict era to demonstrate to the people who elected her that democracy can put bread on the table. ... If she can't deliver from here, she'll be off to a bad start.

Susan Rice

She brings a lot to the table. I know a lot of companies are looking at her. If we didn't have all our money tied up in Tiger, we'd probably be looking at her ourselves.

Larry Peck

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Franz Kafka

We're not going to do cartwheels hearing that, because we are not out to destroy Sikorsky. We do hope UTC listens and returns to the bargaining table.

Harvey Jackson

I'm gonna do a solo record, [Brendan and Ohad] are gonna do solo records. If we tour, it's gonna be so amazing just to [hit the road on a small scale]. Going into a restaurant, I've never been able to ask for a table for three, and that would be nice one day.

Kevin Drew

Brad brings a lot to the table that Robby didn't bring, and vice versa. Robby was an excellent athlete for his size. Brad gives you an added dimension.

Steve Specht

If a child isn't consistently fed meals, they may not trust an adult to put a meal on the table when they need it.

Barbara Mayfield

We have had overcrowding and as growth continues, we will continue to have overcrowding unless adequate funding is brought to the table.

Marshall Krupp

We put a lot of money on the table. Do they want it or don't they?

Tony Tyler

We've got assets that we bring to the table that no one else has. That allows us to be able to compete in a world where at first blush people say it's impossible for independents to come in and survive, much less sustain, and be around for long periods of time.

Paul Fitzpatrick

We need to bring some new blood to the table, some new ideas.

Sam Katz

Every day I wish I would have stepped up from that table and walked out. That was the worst conduct I had ever been part of and everybody knew exactly what was going on at that meeting.

David Delainey

Many media companies have already either stayed too long on the sidelines or bungled their online efforts. Portals give them the perfect opportunity to play catch-up. These sites bring programming expertise to the table, while big media companies bring off-line promotions, advertising relationships, attractive content, and deep pockets.

Chris Charron

From a professional's perspective, I am most excited about Renallo's wonderful setting for a business lunch. It has a comfortable upscale atmosphere where the person sitting at the next table doesn't overhear a business discussion. You get a professional, yet friendly, dining experience from the staff and owner at Renallo's.

Julie Cooper

Delphi has thrown a new proposal on the table. That's a good thing. It's got to be better than the last offer.

Clyde Sims

You can't expect miners to come in and testify about unsafe conditions in the mine when you have their employers across the table from them.

Tony Oppegard

Everybody has his cards on the table.

Michael Gronstal

The most important thing for this band is that it is playing. I liken playing in this band to sitting around a poker table. The game is still going on. It goes on no matter who shows up. It's cool if different players are part of this. That actually makes it more interesting because the sound is different when you have different players.

Jeff Pevar

We are willing to talk any time, any place, any where with the City Council members, and our willingness to make things better is on the table.

John Gaddie

We should let the people of the Northwest decide the fate of Snake River salmon. This resolution is designed to take dam removal off the table before the public has a chance to weigh in. The Corps of Engineers is just about to release its five-year, $20 million study, but this resolution is trying to prejudge what should be a public decision.

Scott Faber

After last season, you just don't want to leave any points on the table, whether it's round wins, qualifying or whatever.

Aaron Capps

There has to be a regular performance audit to do a comprehensive analysis to determine how the funds are performing. We can't come to the bargaining table with information that's six years old.

Jesse Case

We knew we needed to keep her under control and keep her in front of us. She brings a lot to the table, and her ball speed with the dribble creates challenges as far as getting back on defense -- and even in the half court where we're helping out -- and she's a challenging player.

Don Eckerle

Everything's on the table.

Joe Gillis

Mike (Kramer) had a very productive interview. I love his energy and his passion. I really like what Mike Kramer brings to the table... And the thing I love most is that he's an Idaho Vandal.

Rob Spear

I can't really talk as to what they're considering doing because there's too many things on the table right now.

Nancy Heaton

He was at the defense table, and he fell out in the floor between the defense table and the bench where lawyers sit.

Duncan Mcmillan

Anyone who has any involvement with the child should be at the table and provide what is necessary to get these families back together again.

Gordon Johnson

So at dinner, you'd see only one green jacket at every table.

Paul Dillon

Right now we have $10 billion in cuts on the table for the Medicare program in the U.S. Congress. So we're moving in the wrong direction.

Kathleen Stoll

Right now, he brings offense to the table, but more importantly he brings personality. He's aggressive, and that's what you have to be.

Fred Gallo

I don't think it should be a big deal. At my house, we sit around the kitchen table and laugh and have fun.

Denise Austin

St. Bernard Parish is toast now. It's just been wiped out. If you're ever going to instigate something like this, now is the time to put those plans on the table and discuss the option.

Harry Roberts

They're a very dangerous team. They could run the table.

George Blaney

I don't know all of the details yet. Put me at that table, and I will be your voice.

Barbara Saunders

The round-table discussions are expected to assist committee members' understanding of critical issues facing the racing industry today.

Jack Knowlton

The company has been forcing this train down the track for quite a while. Because of their behavior at the table we have been preparing for quite some time for our response after the 28th.

Brian Robinson

Certainly it seems like it's better to leave business on the table rather than take on something you can't handle.

Jim Mccann

This is one way we're trying to bring families back to the table.

Phyllis Poole

Randy Covington (at WIS) leaned across the table and basically told them that this is an important news event in Columbia, South Carolina, that we're here to cover the news and we're going to cover the news. (Olympic officials) decided they had better play ball or lose control of the whole thing.

Russ Pate

Breakups, sales within pieces of the business, are off the table.

Brad Mcgee

We came to the table today willing to sign our contract.

David Lennon

We need to find out more about how stripers live. Stripers came close to the brink of extinction 25 years ago. Other species are still in trouble. Rutgers is leading the effort along the Jersey Shore to study our fisheries. I hope Net Free steers clear of nets and won't end up on a dinner table. We have something to learn form Net Free and the other tagged fish.

Jim Saxton

The kids' menus were replicating fast-food menus, except the portions are bigger so the calories and fat content are even higher at the table-service restaurants.

Jayne Hurley

It's a big part of my game. I know the kind of manager Ozzie is. He likes speed and bunting. I just try to bring that to the table. I just go out there and play as hard as I can. I'm not in control of what the decision will be.

Jerry Owens

Since the Braves rarely, if ever give up effective starters (see Bruce Chen , Damian Moss , Steve Avery , etc.) it's tough to believe that Marquis will bring much to the table in his post-Atlanta years.

Jason Marquis

This president is losing his capacity to get a major domestic accomplishment because he is unwilling to put any portion of the tax cuts for the highest-income Americans on the table.

Stan Collender

If there is no question as to the legitimacy and legality of their operation, then everything ought to be on the table for the media and anyone else to look at.

Gerald Shuster

Otherwise, you're leaving money on the table. That's not smart.

Tom Grzymala

On the Continent people have good food; in England people have good table manners.

George Mikes

It's good Case is finally coming to the table and talking to farmers, but they are treating these farmers' claims fairly light.

Matt Cronin

I think some people take for granted where their lunch and dinner come from. I don't think they really stop and think about what it takes to get their food on the table.

Cathi Hahner

Everybody comes to the table and we all understand the big picture plan and we understand what our roles and responsibilities are.

David Swenson

We're happy that Pemco is ready to go back to the negotiating table. Now that we are negotiating, there is no reason to continue the lockout. I urge them to get everybody back to work and sit down and do some hard bargaining for as long as it takes.

Bob Wood

It will be an extraordinary moment in the first confidential conference when a legendary figure like William Rehnquist is replaced at the head of the table by someone so junior. But John Roberts is one of the few people who would be up to that challenge.

Walter Dellinger

Unless all the stakeholders are willing to come to the table as a group, the chances are slim.

Pascual Blanco

They left it all out on the table.

Craig Swanson

The idea might have some merit but [Chafee] would only encourage it if there was local community input, with homeless advocates and others affected, at the table.

Stephen Hourahan

Money is always going to play a part. But we were impressed by the things Wade Shows brought to the table. They gave us ideas we never even thought about and that got our attention.

Rick Vymlatil

There was never a suggestion on my part that hunting should be off the table. It was a matter of demonstrating to the public that we were taking a cautious and conservative approach.

Bradley Campbell

We needed a public-private partnership. We needed an employer-led organization, but it was important to have all stakeholders at the table.

Ron Simms

We spoke. I wouldn't really consider it getting back to the table. We both came away with a to-do list, and hopefully we can get together sometime this week.

Rocco J. Calo

It's kind of a seed to table mentality. The little ones just love it. They learn sharing and community.

Sue Mullins

We were required to work there ... because he said if you are going to put your feet under my table, you are going to earn the place you take at my table.

Jeffrey Phillips

I told them that we are not going to walk away from the table ... despite the fact that there is such enormous disappointment.

Mel Weiss

We'll run the table now. Watch.

Lorenzo Neal

It is with great excitement that we welcome Erica to the MANSION team. MANSION is thrilled to endorse a player with Erica?s obvious talents and skills that extend far beyond the poker table, and we look forward to developing a successful partnership with her.

David Kinsman

There's a lot that happens (at the state Capitol) and we have a stake in most of it. We covet our seat at the table.

Gene Hall

It went for the heart of the federal protection against diversion of Great Lakes waters. Taking that question off the table for now is a good thing.

David Holtz

There was one black cloud hanging over this win and that is the departure of Quantrill. He brought a lot more to the table than his throwing. He had been to where we hope to go. He was the epitome of a great teammate.

Mark Sweeney

Alex Miller is more of a runner but he can throw it really well. McFall is more of a drop-back passer. They both bring different things to the table.

Bobby Crockett

When you're on that operating table, knowing they're about to cut you open and work on your heart, you realize that basketball isn't really the most important thing in the world.

Norris Ashley

He may not put the numbers up that he used to, but he brings a lot more to the table, in the dressing room and the bench and even the composure he has on the ice.

Kirk Maltby

With this plan, he's put California light years ahead of any other state in terms of ocean restoration, protection and management. He's put action, policy and money on the table.

Warner Chabot

At this critical juncture - with the fate (of) our airline and jobs hanging in the balance - the company believes we should return to the table to make meaningful progress toward getting an agreement.

Joel Kuplack

The big thing that the robots bring to the table is that they allow us to gather information without danger to the lives of the rescuers.

Mark Micire

We were all surprised at the table.

Mark Koenig

It's absolutely essential that the best technologies are on the table. They have thrown another element into the mix.

Susan Jordan

Creatively speaking, I know what I'm doing is unique. I don't worry about running out of ideas, ... I have hundreds of patterns under my table that I've drawn and don't even have time to make into a panel.

Sharon Hill

I say we put everything on the table first and then see what revenue streams we need. If an income tax is part of the new formula, then we put it before the people. People in this state often vote to tax themselves, through school bonds, so we should put it before them.

Bob Gammage

It was almost exactly like the last game we played (against Scotland earlier this season). Both teams had 11 points in the fourth in that game, too, but we won by one. This time the table was turned.

Randy Van Scyoc

The scale of the challenge means that everything is on the table.

Brian Sullivan

Put the money on table and get your mack on, break it down, split it up, and get your math on.

P. Diddy, Puff Daddy

I don't know whether we can or not. We've been competitive with many of our players who've chosen to stay in MLS. We can put competitive offers on the table. Of course money is always a factor, but I think for most kids it isn't the most important factor. The most important factor is putting yourself in a position that your career can be what you want it to be.

Ivan Gazidis

We met with him about six weeks ago and expressed some of our concerns (about the plan). We haven't had any talks about capital since they took keno off the table. There isn't much contact (with rank-and-file members) that we've heard of.

David Dring

He just feasts on us. He's a great kid. I really like watching him play from a coaching perspective because he brings a lot to the table, not only for Waterloo but for our conference.

Darrell Butler

The city is not in a position to generate additional financial risk, we don't have dollars on the table. We do have the common goal to keep the franchise here. We know it's a community asset that we care about and if there's a way to make that work and not increase the city's financial risk, we're certainly welcoming those kind of conversations.

Nancy Hamilton

I have told Derek we will see him on Monday because I want him to make sure he gives it plenty of thought, to make sure we are not pushing him in any direction. I want him to have a clear head and make a decision. My advice to Derek would be to go and listen to them and to see what they've got to offer, see what is on the table. My advice is to give it some thought and we'll see you on Monday.

Tony Mowbray

There is a lot of wisdom at this table and we all bring something good to the table that will allow us to made a decision amongst ourselves without committing taxpayer dollars to do it.

Stan Magee

Gates and these groups are at the table on a regular basis and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Frank Destefano

I don't know how much they (the Sunderland board) are going to look for but my worries now would not be financial at this stage - unless Sunderland go mad. It is not about putting money on the table and making an offer for a football club. We have to prove to ourselves, before we go near any fans or any club, that we are capable of running a football club.

Niall Quinn

Frankly, its hard to blame the Legislature this session because the department took no initiative to put on the table that wide range of actions.

Jon Gould

I think she has tons of potential. Hofstra is a top-notch program. With her work ethic, I think she's going to play an important part in that program because of some intangibles she brings to the table.

Jamie Richardson

Felting Phil (taking all of his chips down to the felt on the table). I loved beating him and then he'd go over to the couch and sulk, staring at the ceiling.

Jennifer Tilly

There's a lack of desire to do anything. It's not going to be until March that we get a really good idea about what kind of time table were looking at with Iraq.

Pete Boockvar

They're sending a message to the Stewart & Stevenson shareholders that . . . this is a real solid bid, and it's made by a real solid company that's very serious about acquiring you, and you shareholders need to know that the board has chosen to leave 50 cents on the table.

Tom Harenburg

If you going to make a difference you have to bring some tech to the table, and we certainly do.

Chris Weitz

Obviously a plea bargain isn't an option, as long as there's nothing on the table to address the mental health issues that are so apparent with Andrea. Given that, the only other option is to go to trial. I don't believe there will be any meaningful negotiations in this matter short of going before a jury.

George Parnham

They want to form partnerships with our employers rather than stand up and fight for our fair share. What we want to do is stay at the bargaining table and go for the best deal we can get.

Alan Rosenberg

All of these guys bring a different thing to the table. Our team didn't have any superstars. Everybody had to do their part. These guys got these awards by doing their part.

Todd Kimble

They just can't keep food on the table. Even though they're picking it.

David Straus

We bring to the table expertise in measuring the strength of materials at the smallest of scales.

Subra Suresh

What we're looking for is to have small businesses apply standards that are reasonable in light of the information that they're storing. There's no business around that would leave a stack of money on a table, for people to just walk in and take. What we're really saying is that information about consumers, about your customers, is the new currency.

Lydia Parnes

It was great, he was a lawyer and had some repossession stuff in the basement, ping pong table, video games, all that stuff. They were a great family and really helped me.

Luke Richardson

You can fill this table up with people who are racist, homophobic, Satanist worshippers, sexist and we can be arguing but if you put on a song, I guarantee that people will stop and listen and that's what I love about music, it can bring people together.

Charles Ives

We don't have to go to that level. This campaign is about the positive things in this room, the positive things each one of you brings to the table.

John Boyles

I put it on the table two weeks ago to alleviate going through this every year.

Alan Oatsvall

They put out heat at table level rather than up so no one has to stand up to get warm.

Cindi Nicholson

Parents don't want a dead animal on their kitchen table.

Rick Hill

We want to get back to the table. We don't want to strike.

Karen Dinkins

INSURANCE, n. An ingenious modern game of chance in which the player is permitted to enjoy the comfortable conviction that he is beating the man who keeps the table. INSURANCE AGENT: My dear sir, that is a fine house -- pray let me insure it. HOUSE OWNER: With pleasure. Please make the annual premium so low that by the time when, according to the tables of your actuary, it will pro.

Ambrose Bierce

It will not be whether it's wrong or right to be there. There's no politicking at this table. If our soldiers are over there in harm's way, they should have the very best.

Tammara Rosenleaf

The prudent investor may want to take some of their money off the table and maybe they should be looking overseas.

Joe Portera

I was always interested in French poetry sort of as a sideline to my own work, I was translating contemporary French poets. That kind of spilled out into translation as a way to earn money, pay for food and put bread on the table.

Paul Auster

All options are on the table, including mail elections. The secretary has supported them in the past as a way to give counties more options.

Jennifer Kerns

I didn't want people sitting at the breakfast table breaking out into song. They are at the recording studio and nightclub. The band is in one way or another performing their material.

Des Mcanuff

I can rely on a solid group with great enthusiasm ... but the teams preceding us in the table are too strong. We can aim to clinch fourth place and a Champions League spot.

Luciano Spalletti

It was a confidence builder to go in and run the table on a team like that like we did.

Jack Lescure

We have a place at the dinner table for her.

Keith Lawrence

TABLE D'HOTE, n. A caterer's thrifty concession to the universal passion for irresponsibility. Old Paunchinello, freshly wed, Took Madam P. to table, And there deliriously fed As fast as he was able. 'I dote upon good grub,' he cried, Intent upon its throatage. 'Ah, yes,' said the neglected bride, 'You're in your _table d'hotage_.' .

Ambrose Bierce

It is not hard to compose, but what is fabulously hard is to leave the superfluous notes under the table.

Johannes Brahms

In this last movie, I gave it quite a lot of thought to my character, and I fell back on a lot of managers and agents that I've had, and my early New York days where comics would sit around a table doing jokes and the managers would have jokes, and so I based it on a lot of that.

Fred Willard

Home is the wallpaper above the bed, the family dinner table, the church bells in the morning, the bruised shins of the playground, the small fears that come with dusk, the streets and squares and monuments and shops that constitute one's first universe.

Henry Anatole Grunwald

The chandelier started going and the floor started shaking. Someone yelled get under the table and so we did. The sudden violence let us know that this was a bad one.

Bob Morton

We're talking about 22 legislators who are having a four-course meal while more than 400 others are dining on table scraps. This should be a wake-up call to legislators in the Northeast, Florida and the Southwest.

Scott Faber

Their numbers seem to be changing. Earlier in the week they said there was a $1.5 billion gap, ... We never negotiate numbers in the press. We're putting our energy into reaching an agreement at the bargaining table.

Karen Miller

Whether you need to bill back clients for printing in a law firm or track usage of devices by department to cut costs, Lexmark's Embedded Document Accounting Solution brings a flexible, unique solution to the table that can significantly impact your bottom line.

Paul Rooke

It's getting more and more frustrating, because I have to go home and put food on the table.

Christopher Hickey

The voters of the district have sent a message that it's important that all parties be at the table when decisions are being made and that they want new leadership.

Diane Patrick

Yucca Mountain was recommended by the U.S. Geological Survey because of the attributes the site possesses including a stable geology, a deep water table, no one lives there, it's a desert environment and ... it's remote.

Allen Benson

I was ready to commit suicide. Then the next thing I know, I'm dancing on the table.

Floyd Reese

We eat fried eggs, biscuits and gravy, French toast, things like that. Let's just say they won't set us at a two-person table anymore. So we have enough elbow room, they set us at a four-person table.

Josh Taylor

I think it's a sign of China's intention to return to the table and discuss with the United States such things as early releases and other human rights issues.

John Kamm

Identity theft has become so common now that it's a dinner table topic. Your information is only as safe as the security of the companies who hold it, and 2005 has shown us that those companies are not doing a good job.

Jill Johnson

[Paulison] brings actual hands-on experience, and you can't replace that, ... When you've had to actually deal with emergencies, when you've been personally exposed to things that bureaucrats don't even think about and making sure those things get accomplished, you've gained 100 percent. That's what he brings to the table.

Carlos Alvarez

Some providers are capable of bringing innovative ideas to the table, but the customers sometimes do not want ideas, they only want a contract provider for specific services.

Bill Read

Changing the entire identity of our town from a historic national treasure to a casino town won't come as cheap as the offer on the table before you tonight.

Susan Star Paddock

I just think it's that we bring a lot to the table. There's the concept idea, which is very interesting and, again, I don't think has been done. Concepts have been done over a standard record, but not like this. And the songwriting is different. There are classic rock influences, and I think they come out more because the band has gotten better.

Claudio Sanchez

I was disappointed when I got sent down, but I had to wait for the opportunity to present itself. I hope to bring something to the table. I'm really, really happy to be back. I'll play whatever role they want me to.

Gregory Campbell

Having that type of experience at my nightclub empowers them to go to the table and gamble a little bit more. They are made to feel like a star. They go back to where they came from and feel that they had a terrific experience. For a brief moment, you can shop at Gucci and Tiffany.

Ivan Kane

That's off the table right now.

Michael Kaplan

We'll go back (to the table) with the same intent we always have, which is to negotiate on behalf of our members.

Leslie Porras

I think it's time for investors to take a little bit off the table.

Don Reed

We ask you to consider, if that option is still on the table, that will be a cost borne by the citizen taxpayers.

Rudy Eschbach

During the '70s and early '80s there were places for people with views like mine in the Republican party. Today, my views are not welcome at the Republican table.

Andy Warren

I would never bet against Warren Buffett if I were sitting at a poker table with him.
