It has always been our long-standing policy that these assignments are voluntary and that is understood by all the people who we work with.

Jeffrey Schneider

This is a good bunch of girls. They really have understood their roles this year. They haven't always gotten the playing time that they're accustomed to. They're a good motivation for the team; they try to keep the morale pretty high.

Brooke Svendsen

When Lisa told me she used to be a figure skater, I understood her painting.

Louis Grachos

The one book necessary to be understood by a divine, is the Bible; any others are to be read, chiefly, in order to understand that.

Francis Lockier

It's a great story and I'm very happy for him. I continue to wish him the best. Mike and his family did what they felt was best for Mike at the time. I understood that at that time and still understand that now.

Anthony Solomon

You try to overcome this day to day, primarily through communication. They have understood that as much as it hurts, there are things you must slightly turn away from.

Isaac Mizrahi

We hit a few hard right at them. The strikeouts were a lack of discipline on his balls in the dirt. (Justice) understood where the strike zone was and used it. We were too content to argue with the umpire rather than make adjustments.

Pete Southall

I strongly disagree with that. Clearly, the officials at Fort Huachuca understood Pvt. Lawson was in danger -- otherwise they would not have had him under the drill sergeant's care.

Steve Ralls

I never understood why you wouldn't start designing a ride when you start making a film so two months after a film comes out you have a ride. I promise you we are not only going to make great motion pictures we are going to make great rides.

John Lasseter

Clouds grossly affect the greenhouse effect on the planet. So they play a very profound role in weather and climate. Yet taken altogether they are one of the most poorly understood aspects of the climate change problem.

Graeme Stephens

We have not received a copy of the order but it is understood that the high court has called for a report on various lapses that might be there in the case. Information is being gathered and we are examining reports of investigation.

K.k. Paul

The core problem of the report is that he was working with a subject that I don't think he really understood.

Arthur Kroeger

Some of them actually reported the cash payments, but Eddie understood that they might not do that. Eddie also did not have his corporation deduct those payments as salaries or wages, so the corporation ended up paying more tax than it should have. It overpaid in amounts many times more than the government claimed it lost by virtue of this behavior.

Hank Asbill

Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America has been different. We have no king but Jesus.

John Ashcroft

He said (the coaches understood) he needs to make an informed decision. So they didn't pressure him about making a commitment over the weekend. So he's probably going to look at visiting a couple other places. This is a big decision for him.

Deandre Scott

Our alliances should be understood as a means to expand our influence, not as a constraint on our power. The expansion of democracy and freedom in the world should be a shared interest and value with all nations.

Chuck Hagel

He sympathized, he understood, but he wasn't willing to do anything about it. We talked to Premier Gary Doer by letter, and he just passed it back to the minister.

Jim Sanford

We wouldn't be where we are today without the vision, commitment and hard work of people like Phil who understood from the beginning how public funding for the arts advances our society and enriches our democracy - making life better for all Americans.

Jonathan Katz

A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.

George Gurdjieff

While it's understood that partner violence often leads to depression in women, few studies have looked at the reverse relationship.

Jocelyn Lehrer

I personally believed the law is kind of fuzzy in this area. From what I understood, I had broken the laws.

Brian Dake

All of these actions were understood as provocations by the extreme right.

Nahum Barnea

Fortunately, the courts discharged me every time after they understood what I had done.

Alain Robert

We understood the time frame was quickly approaching and Bobby Ginn made a decision very quickly.

Ryan Julison

They understood their roles in how we wanted to break the press. These are mostly guys up from the JV and they were able to stay under control.

Brian Ellis

They understood that most of our waterfowl, about 80 percent, came from Canada, and the Canadians weren't doing anything and our government wasn't doing anything because they couldn't spend money in a foreign country for waterfowl.

Dan Olson

I'm not sure seventh was such a bad prediction. But I understood the talent we had, and I knew we'd be a better team than last year.

Brian Hoberecht

My mother lives with us and that was a concern but we've talked about it and she's fine. My husband was surprised when he learned of the news at the meeting but we both understood that these were provisional drawings (for the plans).

Lynn Hagey

I was very impressed by the way they came to me and presented their case. It was very obvious this was a group of organized people who understood how to communicate their needs.

Onnie Shekerjian

Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less advanced life-forms, and they'll call you crazy.

Richard Bach

Seek first to understand, and then to be understood.

Stephen R. Covey

Several hundred thousand dollars of this money was given to me, in Manhattan, and the rest was given to others, one of whom I understood to be a United Nations official.

Samir Vincent

Even though she's a celebrated French actress, she's been in so many distinguished European films as well, ... Since we understood that she was going to be in New York to perform Sarah Kane's play, we also wanted to acknowledge her success as a stage actress.

Laurence Kardish

It was a shocker. My girls worked so hard. From the beginning of the year when we went to the Mililani Invitational competition where we took third, the girls got better and understood what we were looking for.

Roxanne Cardejon

It was some small money to help us quickly affect the lives of people. It was to show that the Palestinian Authority cares. They were very responsive and understood we needed to have a better impact.

Rafiq Husseini

We have always understood the Kurdish people's ambitions.

Amr Mussa

You've got to work on your voice, it's your tool and represents you. It's very important to have a good voice where you can be understood.

Jacqueline Bisset

I think the sponsors understood that as long as the lottery discussions were ongoing, there was no real rush to consider those bills.

William Wainwright

Although my mother was her own person during their marriage, she loved and respected our father. They understood what had to be done and had a wonderful and fulfilling life together.

Beatrice E. Morrison

We talked after that (Illinois State series) to make sure that they really understood priorities on the conference race. We knew with Bradley coming in it was a team that we could compete against, and we just had to put the Illinois State games behind us.

Brenda Coldren

Ever reviled, accursed, ne'er understood, Thou art the grisly terror of our age.

John Henry Mackay

Above all, it needs to be understood, that whatever council recommends, the NSW Government Minister of Planning will be the final arbiter.

Adrian Brown

I don't think Jim was really happy with the Denver situation. I don't think people understood that he didn't jump ship there. It just didn't work out. But I think that ate at Jim's craw.

Gene Lamont

Their faces said that they were affected by what they saw. They understood not only how only the buildings were affected but how the people who were no longer able to live there were affected.

Dave Wise

I agree with the other City Council people that I was disappointed in what the mayor said because I thought it was understood what we were going to do, and he didn't say anything about it during the meeting. So he blasted us in the paper.

Willie Jackson

His freshman year of high school was his first year of organized football and he was trying to find his way. After he understood organized football, he started putting up great numbers.

Chris Bean

Didn't have to. I think they understood where we were going into that last round.

Mark Reiland

A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

Frank Herbert

Management has been parachuted in that has not understood the fundamentals of the business, ... You need to bring in one person with a small SWAT team.

Gene Gillespie

The fall of man is written in too legible characters not to be understood: Those that deny it, by their denying, prove it.

George Whitefield

We had been using Linux-based proxies and had some people that understood programming Linux quite well. We liked the idea of being able to customize a solution that was best for us. It is certainly scaleable.

Don Reece

I never stopped wanting to play. I never got complacent because I wasn't playing. I kept working hard in practice. I understood that with a team that's so successful, there has to be a player like me on the team.

Christina Collison

The technologies which seem to be receiving interest from the Bank include those with damaging social and environmental impacts, such as nuclear, large dams and so-called 'clean coal'. It is widely understood that these technologies will not help to bring people out of poverty, which is the World Bank's mission.

Catherine Pearce

What's understood is that the newspapers are allowed into the building to take photos for news purposes. We are more than happy to have them take pictures. It's good for us and it's good for them.

Richard Buchanan

As we talked about the concepts around the plan over the last couple of weeks, I think we each understood the symbolism of the higher-revenue club and the lower-revenue club being behind the same plan. That makes a pretty powerful statement.

Jonathan Kraft

This is very exciting news. Obviously we've got a lot at stake. It's very exciting that we seem to have all the stars aligned and we've made our case in such a way I think it's clear, it's understood and appreciated. We're going to be able to continue to work to protect this Napa name.

Hugh Davies

Nikolai and I understood each other and we were cycling the puck down low very well, ... I think we will be able to find each other and have the final touch to put the puck in the net.

Sergei Fedorov

The boys had an outstanding second half. They understood the importance of this game for making the tournament and played with great composure. Every player contributed something to the effort tonight.

Matt Lantier

Most of our projections, our business plans were based on a four- or five-year agreement that we understood to exist with the Iowa Lottery.

Bill Wohlers

At this time, we haven't fully understood the failure mechanisms at all of these locations.

Walter Baumy

Obviously, it was inexcusable. I just felt under the circumstances that if they didn't want me to come back, then I would have understood.

John Feinstein

You can understand the measure, the impact of this man, when the people he arrested are calling to express their sorrow. He understood the difference between prostitution and prostituted women. I don't think there will be another like him.

Vednita Carter

He was one of the few people from SNL who realized that ensemble was the way for him to go. He never tried to break into major movie roles ... he really understood that this was his strength. He was a strong ensemble player, and really an original.

Mary Murphy

I've been a little perplexed. I've always felt that Boston Scientific offers have been superior. I've not understood the loyalty of Guidant's board to J&J.

Ryan Rauch

Given the Jockey Club charges, as I understood them, this decision is extremely severe.

John Blake

I doubt there were high fives all around, but I imagine everyone who headed out to sit on the bench understood this was Justice O'Connor's last day. I think there was something more than a polite handshake.

Kermit Hall

When told that only 3 men in the world understood Relativity, Eddington asked "I wonder who is the third?"

Sir Arthur Eddington

Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.

Earl Nightingale

They understood the issues. In the past they might not have understood.

David Gallitto

There were times she didn't know which direction she was going to go in. This year she understood she was going to have to play every game hard and there weren't a bunch of kids around here to pick up the pieces.

Ron Allan

All the senators were very willing to make it happen so they were very positive and understood how many hispanics we have and the impact the have in the U.S..

Elizabeth Gallagher

There is no society known where a more or less developed criminality is not found under different forms. No people exists whose morality is not daily infringed upon. We must therefore call crime necessary and declare that it cannot be non-existent, that the fundamental conditions of social organization, as they are understood, logically imply it.

Emile Durkheim

Get Lower understood the need for a sophisticated technology to meet the complexity of the marketplace in general and its multiple business channels specifically. Efficient Frontier can help Get Lower meet and exceed its business objectives.

Ellen Siminoff

Children are meant to understand compassion and comfort because they have received compassion and comfort - and this should be in the family setting. A family should be a place where comfort is experienced and understood, so that the people are prepared to give comfort to others.

Edith Schaeffer

There must be a high effort on the patient's part. They must really want to communicate again and be understood. It's not easy and there's a lot of repetition.

Ed Hardy

They understood, too, that it would be wrong to sacrifice the impartiality of the judge and make a comment to anyone in the United States Senate that you'd rule one way or another if you're confirmed.

Reed Gillespie

It was always understood that Corbin would swing the vote.

Ed Ward

I saw the coaches around. It was kind of understood. When I really understood was when I walked in and (offensive line) coach (Bill) Muir gave me a big hug and told me congratulations.

Earnest Graham

I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling.

Earl Spencer

It can be understood that the government, at least, has loosened its grip on management buyouts in big state companies. But any move in large enterprises may come after regulators gain enough experience in dealing with smaller firms.

Zhu Yan

When Alan talked, nobody understood what he said, but the market believed him.

Zhu Min

All four groups came back and said they understood the need to eliminate smoking, but there had to be some compromise. There are a lot of people on campus who might have felt differently.

Eugene Dial

I told the boys to take the energy out of the game and really make it boring. They understood what that meant. We took the pace out of the game. We were very disciplined.

Eric Puma

It was always understood that we would look at it again when the survey was done.

Ernie Cox

I think it's a great album, but it came out at the wrong time. We got a bad deal and it was a very weird time. Without getting to into it, it was not the right time to do what we did. When we went into it, I wasn't sure about it and I told the guys that, but once I understood it more, I got into it just as much as everyone else.

Eric Carr

Last night was a great night for the Chamber of Commerce and a great night for Atmore. Gov. Riley could not have been any more gracious and complimentary about our community. His message was so well said. He presented it in such an easygoing manner that was easily understood not to mention uplifting and inspiring. He left us with a sense of real hope for our state under his leadership.
