It has become quite obvious in recent years that our nomenclature in astronomy is not keeping pace with our discoveries.
Bill Cooke
He was great in the leadership field. He understood the game early on. It was so impressive. He was always thinking about the game. It was just obvious during his playing days what he was destined to do.

Scott Roembke
It's as important for children to know how to prevent heart disease, cancer and diabetes as it is for children to learn geography, ... These are important life skills that are not intuitively obvious.

These delays can cost thousands of people their lives. What will it take rich countries to learn this obvious lesson?

Jade Moore
That's an obvious statement.
Tommy Maddox

I'm very proud of this gold medal. My son was born on Monday, and it is obvious that I will name him 'Helsinki.
Benjamin Limo
I'm always looking for something kind of melancholy, ... I guess I was trying to mix these things without really knowing it. I write in a way that's more subconscious, just trying to articulate some mystery that's not obvious.
Chris Whitley

Alastair Humphreys
There is a difference between cultures - of course there is - but it is much less obvious with younger generations and much less important when people are bilingual or educated.The 'them and us' stuff no longer applies. It is having not just awareness about different cultures but the way we speak in English.
John Twitchin
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
Henry Miller
If you look at the Internet today, it does what it does really well. It's profound, but we can look at it and see some things that aren't right. The most obvious is that there is no framework for security.
David Clark
Obvious signs of foul play.
Gail Tierney
On Tuesday, she told me I'm dying, and it was obvious that she was dying.

There is no question we learned from their shortcomings, there is no doubt that anyone in the community could see those schools had problems, some were obvious, some were lingering.
John Bliss

Glen Taylor
There's no obvious reason from this report to explain why further analysis is appropriate or even necessary.

Franklin Pierce
To me, it's pretty obvious. When Brian plays well, we win.
Howard Moore
He's the equal of Hitchcock in building mood and suspense, a little less obvious than Hitchcock, a little more subtle, a little more intellectual. It was perfect.

Richard Perkins
This summer there is the World Cup in Germany and it is obvious that crowds will go there.
Oktay Varlier
If I said to most of the people who auditioned, 'Good job, awesome, well done,' it would have made me actually look and feel ridiculous. It's quite obvious most of the people who turned up for this audition were hopeless.
Simon Cowell
It seems to me that at this time we need education in the obvious more than the investigation of the obscure.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

B.j. Surhoff

Mike Pearl
The relation between practical and spiritual spheres in music is obvious, if only because it demands ears, finger, consciousness and intellect.
Luciano Berio
They just know how to win, it's obvious. It comes down to the fourth quarter a lot in this league, and they know how to win in the fourth quarter. It's a bad feeling to be so close. Because you'd rather get blown out then have a chance to win the game and not quite get there.
Jason Ferguson
It is practically difficult to estimate when [a civilian's] consent was freely given and when the result of obvious or concealed pressures.
Aharon Barak
There are 18 million businesses in Europe: do you contact each company individually? Is there one opt-out list? Are there competing opt-out lists? They simply don't know how this would work. It is fairly obvious that a global opt-off list won't work. It has already been a failure in the U.S.
Joe Mcnamee
I don't want to attack that group. We'll let the voters decide in August. To me if you look at a map it is pretty obvious what their motives are. But I'm not going to get into a debate over it.
David Hopcraft
They don't have another Plan B. It seems quite obvious. What is this going to do for the people of Stephenville? Where are the jobs?
Paul Gallant
I am at war with the obvious.
William Eggleston
It is obvious that when I shot him I intended to kill him.
Ruth Ellis
We grow each year. It's obvious. We attract more people. We're becoming well-known through the area.
Carol Pierce
There was a lack of execution. We were not aggressive at all offensively in the second half, and the defensive intensity that Hickory was showing bothered us and it was obvious.

Gangs make it obvious. They want you to know they are there, that this is their area.
Sgt. Gary Kemper
I thought the decision was kind of obvious.
James Mcelroy

Inga Hanley
I think it's obvious what kind of difference he can make.
Brett Tomko
We have an incredibly big, flexible economy, and we've gotten very good at ring-fencing problems. But energy prices -- especially if gas goes back up to $3 a gallon -- are an obvious vulnerability that would be difficult to compartmentalize.
Terry Connelly
There was an obvious demand.
Charles Ray
The plates are just an obvious opportunity for people to encourage others to choose life.
Kent Ostrander
It's obvious the guys did a lot of work. And Jay is out there just living his dream, playing quarterback at a Division I-A college.
Marc Trestman
His immense power is lightened by a rhythm which has in it as little obvious propulsion as a movement of music by Mozart.

There is no obvious single deal.

Aleksander Kwasniewski
The idea is to make the architecture more obvious, instead of lining the road with cars in parking lots.
Don Eslick

Susan Mcdermott
Delightfully simple - the sort of image that seems obvious when you've seen it, but none of us had.
Adam hart Davis
Dianne doesn't really have an obvious New Orleans connection. But she's very familiar with the repertoire, and she wanted to help out.
Peter Martin
I see a group that's playing with a lot of energy. They have a lot of passion for what they're doing. They fly around. They play very hard. It's obvious coach Zook has done a good job of creating a mind-set of enjoying playing the game.
Jeff Tedford
It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.
Isaac Asimov
Ours is a less obvious relationship conflict than Ray and Dave Davies or the Oasis brothers, ... They just punch each other.
Russell Mael
I am pleased that the commission apparently has been receptive to arguments against some of the Pentagon's recommendations, ... It is obvious that this is an independent commission full of independent commissioners who are looking at the facts and are making their decisions.
Stephanie Herseth
The most obvious funding mechanism would be the submission of a line item in the Court's yearly budget request.
David Weinstein
We saw an obvious need for an upscale casual breakfast experience in Houston, and what a better place to start than right in our own backyard.

Robin Baker
It was obvious that we needed to get him.
Gary Henderson
We are looking across the Pacific. Japan would be an obvious one to consider if we find the right partner.
Paul Klaassen
It's pretty obvious that the intent of the government is to detain more and more people and to expedite their removal.
Cheryl Little
For obvious reasons we don't want people to know the location, so (the devices) cannot be influenced.
David Lord
I had recruited him to be my deputy. Sam had impressed me as an extraordinarily gifted lawyer. He was careful and rigorous. He didn't come across as an open and obvious conservative activist, like me, for example.
Charles J. Cooper
We went through a bad drought, but give credit to Navy's defense. They say the last five minutes and first five minutes of a half are critical, and that was obvious in this game.
Fran O'hanlon
It is so obvious and so blatant. Since this winter, I have never seen it as bad as it's gotten recently.
Michael Payne
There is no obvious contact with wild animals, no any obvious contacts with laboratories, nor any travel history.
Julie Hall
I saw him Sunday, and it was obvious that he didn't have long left.

Joe Borchard
There aren't a lot of obvious places to just go and increase rates.
Tina Olson
It leads to an obvious change to suggest to people. You don't want to have your bird on the edge of a kitchen island or something where someone can come in and surprise him.
Joseph Garner
There are a couple of trends building this year. The most obvious one in the consumer category is DVD players, which are affordable to more people now.
Scott Cameron
They were young back then, and they've grown up since. And it's obvious.
Chip Mcmillian
It was obvious that Odessa High outplayed us in pretty much every aspect of the game. We're probably fortunate that we were able to stay as close as long as we did.
Kevin Pope
Doesn't that infuriate you? We spent a lot of money as a nation preparing plans, and then the obvious things that most of us thought were in place aren't there.
Robert Gallamore
The scale, viciousness and concentration of the throwing made it obvious that this was a premeditated and coordinated attack.
Iron Maiden
In not-for-profit performance evaluation where profit and loss measurements aren't obvious, this has been a breakthrough tool for us.
Clarence White
I think it???s clear that there is an obvious difference between colleges football and inter-county football, and Cork will certainly be a far tougher test than what we have met so far, even a good deal tougher than Waterford.
Jack O'connor
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.
A man of such obvious and exemplary charm must be a liar.

John Parrinello
Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections, children tend to be sticky.
Fran Lebowitz

Margaret Dininno
It's becoming increasingly obvious that Rick Perry just doesn't get it, that he doesn't understand that budgets are moral documents, that there are human costs attached to fiscal decisions.
Chris Bell
In listening to the marketplace, it's obvious that we need to move more students toward completion. And we need to do it sooner rather than later.
Stephen Tocco
It's obvious they don't want to hear from us victims and they don't want the truth to come out.
Steve Parisien
The obvious competitor who they're gunning for here looks like Skype.
Matt Rosoff
It's obvious he's exploiting his job as a prosecutor for private gain. It has clouded his view of justice.
Richard Sharpstein
One good lesson is not to be afraid of failure because failure was kind of obvious in my life.
Debbie Fields
The obvious explanation is it's kind of a surprise thing, the sudden sort of visual arrival of human beings, and this was something we didn't expect at all.
Joseph Garner
It was obvious there was nothing to be done. They were not even sent to hospital.
Olivier Lapointe
It is obvious that the European Union would never countenance funding a regime that continued an armed fight against Israel. But we cannot push for democracy and then deny the result of free and fair elections.
Ignasi Guardans
Lives and our credibility are at stake, ... We will only prevail if we do the right things and not hesitate. This issue should not be hidden for obvious safety issues and because of future litigation.
Richard Davis
I think he has a black agenda. It's pretty obvious.
Charles Lafferty
It's pretty obvious we feel it's an environmental issue. It's been a hectic 30 days trying to get the word out about what's happening.
Tom Depatie
It's obvious it's home-cooking here. (The) Bay County medical examiner is doing what he can to assist Bay County officials.
Benjamin Crump
That's the way things come clear. All of a sudden. And then you realize how obvious they've been all along.
Madeleine L'Engle
It was obvious that many of their concerns were accommodated, but yet they kept coming back and coming back for additional things. It was obvious they did not want the Security Council to have a position.
Riyad Mansour
The most obvious impact of Bayou will be that people will ask how good their consultants' due diligence is. How good are their questions and what should they ask that they haven't asked yet?
Justin Dew
It seems intuitively obvious to me, which means that it might be wrong.
Chris Torek
I was happy to see someone willing to take on this story. It's become obvious to me this is a very large problem.
Michael Cochran
What the generation, the Americans who came of age in the 30s and 40s believe they lived, felt, I mean had reason to feel they lived in a world that was very much beyond their control and in which terrible things were capable of happening to you beyond your control. The depression being the obvious example.
David Frum
In the short-term, the obvious point is that the amount and level of income-based assistance makes a difference.
Greg Duncan
It was pretty obvious we need to use that space, ... Hopefully, we're going to get into a wait-list situation soon. The numbers are very encouraging.
Mark Jackson
This year, one of the things I'm most excited about is that the sound of the band is just incredible, ... There's going to be an obvious difference in the first note that the fans hear.
Steve Barnett
Obvious growing signs of war weariness, frustration, anger and disillusionment.
George Herring
Eternal Power!Grant me, through obvious clouds, one transient gleamOf thy bright essence in my dying hour.
William Beckford
There are obvious difficulties there.
John Boultbee
The tree is fine. It's obvious what this was.
Vern Anastasio
I just don't think we were mentally ready to play at all. We just weren't all there, and it was obvious from the beginning. We came out flat, and it never really got better.
Dean Stork
This was the obvious thing that they should have done about two years ago. I think they lost a lot of ground by being indecisive between now and then. And it's a little disconcerting that they're waiting until December to actually get this up and running.
Bill Burnham
The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.
John Sculley
You can't say the effort wasn't there from our guys. When you hold a team to 64 points and out-rebound them (38-33), it is obvious that we were focused. We just couldn't make any shots. We had good looks but just couldn't get anything to go in.
Wade O'connor
This was an unexpected finding. There is no obvious explanation.
James Blumenthal
The obvious one is compensation.
Richard Powers
He would have no motive whatsoever to set a fire. Mark may be the obvious culprit, as in 'the butler did it.' But I've played enough Clue to know that the butler never does it.
Douglas Rappaport
In this case it seems very obvious that an airport has an economic impact and you would not need a report. It's hard to see what a report like this establishes that isn't already obvious.
Jeffrey Frankel
But, come on. Just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's not true.
Lynne Truss
The politics are what is kind of messed up about this league. A guy gets money, and it's obvious he's going to play. That is the way it is in this league. You just have to do the best you can to maintain your poise and composure.
Thomas Jones
It's obvious to any music fan that the combo of all four of them is totally impressive, entertaining, charming, and better than a lot of music out there.
John Richards
And manipulation appears to be an obvious way to do it.
Jacob Koella
James really showed me something. Because it was obvious watching him out there that he wasn't happy just getting to the Round of 16.
Brian Barker
My first thought when I got the call was that somebody had caught a bowfin, which looks something like a snakehead. But after talking with Steve, it was obvious ... this fish was not a bowfin.
Bobby Wilson
It seems so obvious to say the social world and the academic world are linked.
Sarah Miles
It is obvious the federal government is not enforcing these laws. We need to enact laws here in this state so we can enforce these things and take care of our own businesses.
Robert Copley
Our sense when it hit was that it was bad but could have been worse. For us, the coverage we gave it was a lot. We weren't looking to create angles beyond the obvious ones, like the impact on gas prices. That isn't the WINS way.
Mark Mason
I dress sexily - but not in an obvious way. Sexy in a virginal way.
Victoria Beckham
It's pretty obvious. We are struggling in every department right now. We just aren't swinging the bat well enough to bounce back to where we use to be.
Tom Lechnir
It's my role as an artist to basically destroy the obvious and recreate the obvious, to put it back together into a form that maybe you wouldn't have considered, ... I'm not into making things unimaginable.
Billy Corgan
They would be the first target (for suspicion) you would look at and frankly there aren't too many other obvious ones.
James Jeffrey
The obvious point to take from this meeting is that the Fed is giving the bond market no indication they are close to being done.
Dominic Konstam
Whether this is a set of long, [three mile] cracks, or a multitude of much smaller ones isn't obvious to me. My hunch is therefore: one big one, followed by lots and lots of ongoing smaller ones.
Steve Schwartz
It's obvious that the field will affect us a bit. But we know what it's going to be like and we have to try and combat their play and achieve a good result. A win, whatever the margin, would be very positive for us.
Victor Valdes
When a glacier recedes, it means that it is diminishing, which is an obvious sign of global warming.
Robert Corell
It's obvious we are concerned about this incident.
Linda Gann
There is tremendous pressure today to be first. If you do something first, all the money and fame will come to you. All that is an obvious seduction for doing something like this.
Adil Shamoo
It was obvious from the first half that we needed some energy, somewhat of a spark, ... I challenged myself to get every rebound and work my way around my man.
Chuck Hayes
Polling is not allowed. That?s an attempt to formulate public policy. It?s obvious that would be an attempt to circumvent the law.
Jim Gardner
We do something like this every year. Then this catastrophe hit, and it seemed like the obvious choice to help.
Jeff Abbott
It's obvious that it never had any business being built over there.
Richard Howell
There will be times when we won't flex to the most obvious choice because of the negative impact it might have on CBS or Fox.
Howard Katz
The economy continues to grow at more or less its trend rate and there is no obvious reason for interest rates to change in the near future.
Martin Weale
The most obvious image and the way the theme is used is Blair as Bush's poodle.
Dave Brown
It is absolutely obvious that we have to keep up contacts.
