Deborah Dilworth

Blake was an activist and artist whose lifestyle truly reflected his values, ... He was the lead singer of Parallax, whose (song) lyrics involve a deep reflection on the alienation produced by our consumerist society. Of all the students I have had over my six years at UVSC, Blake was the most authentic.

Wade Henderson

Having an institution like [the CDC] says something about our values.

Mary Shapiro

It's one of the most lavish shows I've worked on other than shows in New York and on Broadway. There is quite an investment in production values.

Bob Trisolini

I'm fearful that if we don't have smart development [no matter how small the acreage] that we still risk losing traditional values. These lots may be small, but you still have to have a road to get there.

David Ladd

We believe there is still some question regarding the need for that particular level of savings and there are many questions about how Northwest values some of the concessions they are demanding from pilots.

Hal Myers

The liberal elites running Hollywood have no intention of ceasing their relentless attack on traditional values. It's almost impossible for parents to block out all of the left-wing messages that Hollywood and its media friends are bombarding our kids with. The solution is for parents to teach their children to laugh at Hollywood and to regard celebrities as silly people.

Katharine Debrecht

The Chinese government values educational cooperation with foreign countries and welcomes more foreign students to come to China.

Liu Baoli

Every age sort of has its own history. History is really the stories that we retell to ourselves to make them relevant to every age. So we put our own values and our own spin on it.

Terry Jones

We weren't very interested [in venture capitalists]. If we were going to have a business we were going to have one that was consistent with our values.

I don't think people in north county will have to worry about their values decreasing.

Peter Reed

We've never talked about a timetable, but both of us are experienced enough to know that things like this don't happen overnight. But at the end of the day we need to be a competitive football team that fits the university's image and its mission and its values. Tyrone will have as long as it takes to make sure that happens.

Todd Turner

Whether this represents a small gain or small loss on the sale will depend on when the final closing is held since the mortgage values will change and the amount of credit we get for prepaid items will change between now and the closing date that is set after they do their due diligence.

David Malone

It's not very often in your career when you get to see the passions and the vision and the values of people coming together in one place. I think they will do things here a lot different than has ever been done before.

Bob Stec

I talked with John just last week about this and asked him some questions about our values -- and he is solid. In fact on Family Research Council's scorecard he has scored a hundred for the past several years, being right on the issues.

Phil Burress

Being from a small town, it just really allowed me to hold true to my values. I knew a lot of people were counting on me including my family and friends.

Christian Preus

My task is not to defer to our worst fears, but to interpret and apply the law, in this case, the Freedom of Information Act, which advances values important to our society, transparency and accountability in government.

Alvin Hellerstein

When it comes to major issues on a statewide or national level, the Democrats in these small counties probably feel abandoned by the Democrat Party. These are folks who go to church on Sunday morning and have strong conservative values. The Democrats on the state and federal levels don't relate to that.

Cory Tilley

Land values have gone up abut 400 percent in the last year along some of these tracks here.

Mike Heiligenstein

It is a measure of the framers' fear that a passing majority might find it expedient to compromise 4th Amendment values that these values were embodied in the Constitution itself.

I certainly hope the strengths and values of this country hold up to comparison to other cultures.

Ralph Cline

Other deplorable events have come to light which have troubled the civic and religious conscience of all and made more difficult a serene and resolute commitment to shared human values.

Abu Ghraib

Madison is the quintessential New England town. And it's because of our secluded wooded areas. Preserving this would ensure higher property values.

David Roach

Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values.

Sidney Hook

Culture is a way of thinking, a set of values, a belief system that influences our behavior. It's really a combination of things. It can come from our ethnic background, our religion and society as a whole.

Frank Olivas

We're completely comfortable with what our roles are right now. Mike's heavily involved in the offense, but he values my opinion and Sonny's opinion. I'm comfortable with what we're doing.

Dana Holgorsen

Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others.

Rob Keck

Good times are back for the luxury industry. Values are higher, the companies are generating cash, it's a good time to invest.

Michael Zaoui

This is a huge step forward for our fight for immigration reform. Obviously the organized marches across the nation have shown that there is a will for change and a path for citizenship that rewards hard work and reflects American values.

Marissa Graciosa

It's no surprise that national Republicans want to see Republicans across the country keep their seats, especially those in a place like Connecticut, where voters typically embrace progressive values. We expect the national Republican Party to play a significant role in this campaign, sending money and support for a governor who will fight for their values.

Derek Slap

The key to improving residual values is to realize that residual values are fundamentally impacted by decisions made throughout the product lifecycle, even though it is measured at remarketing time. We see increased residual values when we incorporate residual improvement strategies early into the decision-making process.

Rose Peng

We wanted to connect with people in terms of values. That would make them more likely to give him a pass on issues they disagree with him on.

David Eichenbaum

The Democratic Party must not allow the religious right to dictate the conversation on moral values.

Kristin Matthews

Rich Moore

Our nation's Head Start students deserve to be served by the very best organizations willing to lend a helping hand, and if those organizations are not faith-based, so be it. But if they are, the faith and values that motivate them to serve their neighbors should not be held against them.

John Boehner

You talk about the values that you have whether they're in favor or not in favor. That's how you lead. The reality is, we're losing more and more elections.

Artur Davis

It's the patient's expression of their values.

Barry Tepperman

Gerard brings the best of liberalism, of fiscal responsibility and social justice. He knows the balance of independent freedom and collective responsibility. In short, Gerard is a true Liberal, a Liberal of ideas, values and a history of action.

Joe Fontana

This is precisely the reason we need Judge Roberts to be confirmed as Chief Justice. He's made it clear that he puts the law and the Constitution first. And he's made it clear that he won't substitute his own values for the clear commands of the law.

Kay Daly

Although a system may cease to exist in the legal sense or as a structure of power, its values (or anti-values), its philosophy, its teachings remain in us. They rule our thinking, our conduct, our attitude to others. The situation is a demonic paradox: we have toppled the system but we still carry its genes.

Ryszard Kapuscinski

We're not shoving our spiritual beliefs down their throat. We have our convictions that we teach but but we're modeling for them Christ and we're teaching them what He says about life and using His word for foundation for values.

Rev. Rick Carr

Glades Day has those old Florida values. They treat you like family.

Stephanie Howell

Now with these new credits, our customers can subtract directly from the money they owe they IRS. That makes the Escape hybrid and the Mercury Mariner hybrid even better values.

Christine Biondi

This is Middle America. Tracy's values have more in common with the South or the Midwest than they do with the coastal strip of California. Even Democrats out here tend to vote for conservatives.

Bob Matthews

They each have shown a passion for community service and they both uphold the values that Bob has represented in the district for the past six years.

Rep. David Zuckerman

We have been getting back to the basic core values of how we think the game should be played. There are so many complex things that you have to do well. It's not a thinking man's game; it's a knowing man's game.

If they make too many concessions then the potential synergy values to them of the takeover begin to evaporate.

Angus Gluskie

Peter Riddell

His work with labor relations, and his values and ethics of leadership are exceptional.

Cameron Beckman

Oldcastle Materials enjoys an enviable reputation in the industry for quality and excellence, as well its commitment to safety and the welfare of its employees.

Michael Petrillo

There's not a desire to take the model of the religious right and change some of the words and, voila, you have the views of the moderate and progressive religious movement - but in fact to elevate the voices so that there's an elevation of the values and the views of those who come from the moderate and progressive community.

Melody Barnes

It's an assertion of ethical values.

Randy David

. . . That's what my work is about, the collapse of everything, of meaning, of language, of values, of art, disorder and dislocation wherever you look, entropy drowning everything in sight . . . that's what I have to go into before all my work is misunderstood and distorted and, and turned into a cartoon . . .

William Gaddis

I'm a professional. I don't want people to read something about me in the tabloids going out with celebrities or whatever. It might be a bit boring but I have to give values to my children.

Jens Lehmann

Nearly all legislation involves a weighing of public needs as against private desires; and likewise a weighing of relative social values.

Louis D. Brandeis

The wilderness is derived by not being allowed to know what's next until you do your homework. The people who stop and do this are so much better off because they really clarify their values and priorities.

Ruth Luban

A health-care facility is a terrific economic engine in a community. It provides high-quality jobs, boosts real estate values and makes the community an attractive place to live.

Richard Wells

There is a need to recreate the consensus that existed after the 7th July attacks. We need to focus on what unites us in the struggle against terrorism that is our fundamental values. These values are human rights; the bedrock of our beliefs, not a convenience, a luxury or a pick and mix.

Shami Chakrabarti

Basic Texas down home values.

Kelly Shackelford

OS X is sweet: it's simple and intuitive, and I think GNOME shares a lot of values with it.

Nat Friedman

Everything changed - my life, my priorities, my values.

Bernard Shapiro

When you look at property values, you are getting a very high return for each dollar that goes into this work, unlike in other forests.

Baz Luhrmann

Rather than accept everything the Chinese authorities says, the big players could find a common position saying they will stick to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and their own values.

John Moody

When women grow up surrounded by these values and surrounded by the thought that they can achieve, I think we will continue to be producing more and more female leaders in our country because of that.

Lorie Smith

Any attempts to turn back the clock such as this one are out of step with the values of the majority of Americans.

[He's got strong core values, and he rarely strays from them. He's also great at winning others over, has a powerful drive to be recognized and is a master arranger.] Basically, I'm a juggler, ... I can put many factors in order, aligning people, processes and money.

Zhang Ming

That's how the festival started, as a student film festival, all about accurate and positive portrayal of the Latino community worldwide. Those core values are still very much part of the festival today.

Ethan Van Thillo

She is now more than ever a very important, highly visible, very credible leader in the LGBT community. Her endorsement absolutely says to a lot of gay people who might not know much about that race or Andrew Cuomo in particular that, from her point of view, he represents her values, which are generally progressive and certainly gay friendly.

Ethan Geto

What happens when we encounter a culture whose norms are very different from our own? Can we impose our values on them?

Eric Mortensen

Here's an example of a simple trap I fell into. I set up a 512-element array of sine-wave values. When the FPGA code didn't finish compiling after several hours I discovered I shouldn't design an FPGA-based application that contains an array with more than 32 elements.

Eric Lyness

Hispanics are said to be keeping themselves apart, avoiding the use of English, and declining to absorb on the spot the 'core' Protestant and individualist values that underpin the American way of life ... but precedent suggests that young Hispanics will eventually merge their identity in the larger American one, just as previous streams of immigrants have done.

Eric Jones

We are very much urging people to show up. These neighborhood comprehensive plan and zoning decisions could have major impacts on home values and what's going on in their own neighborhoods.

Erik Holmstrom

If you compare the two sets of communities, you have some problems of luxury in Bucks, with the property values and the heavy development pressure.

Elissa Marsden

Values are not trendy items that are casually traded in.

Ellen Goodman

We wanted a place where people could come and work on their beliefs, their values within a Christian environment, but we didn't feel you should be so right-up front expecting people to walk in with the real standard Christianity.

Ellen Blake

It doesn't have all that now, but if you can bring hard-working people with the right values into the neighborhood, they will demand and help create good services and a safe environment. I think it will become a wonderful neighborhood for children again.

Ella Bell

One of the signs is that when companies do pre-announce, they haven't been hit as hard this time around, so that suggests the market is starting to look longer term and saying these values are not that unreasonable.

Ed Bryant

Johnny Cash was not only a giant in our business, but he was one of those guys who had grown to become a cultural icon in America. People associated him with values that I think they held near and dear to their hearts.

Ed Benson

We suggest to you that what the applicant is proposing would increase adjoining property values. You have better, more attractive units landscaped as you can require in a conditional use permit. This will attract better tenants than are currently there.

On their issues, Gore should win hands-down. He's tied with Bush now, but that's more to do with the educational issue and the family values issue ... not the right-to-life issue, but what they want their kids to be taught, right from wrong.

Ed Sarpolus

This last year was simply ideal circumstances. Commercial real estate values generally held, interest rates are compelling and the [loan] maturity cycle is growing.

Ed Padilla

Think -- and I stress my words -- about the consequences of voting for a party that does not at all correspond to the values of France.

Zinedine Zidane
