Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead.

James Joyce

Bode raises the question, but there is not a question. There was not a big discussion or a fight. It's very clear that the ski tip has to cross the gate line, and it's more than obvious that he was straddling the gate.

Guenther Hujara

You look at pictures of Bonds when he was a Pirate, and look at him now, and it's so obvious he's been using steroids.

Jeff Ellsworth

Ahtisaari ticks two of this year's most obvious boxes.

Gerard Daffy

It fills an obvious network gap for us in the Middle East and allows us to forge new direct relationships with major institutions in Kuwait.

David Hodgkinson

It was someone whose intentions are not good, that is also obvious. it is far too early to say who is behind it.

Sheila Dikshit

As we got into making the first three, it seemed obvious that we should do more.

Richard Brown

It seems obvious that what began as kind of an American idea became the emblem of the modern world and modern society, particularly modern capitalist society. It doesn't seem to have lost much of its energy.

James Sanders

Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?

Sienna Miller

I was so moved that he respected his enemy that much that I kept it. It was obvious to me that this was a very beautiful person. I thought: I've got to get this back to her family.

Fred Whitehurst

It is obvious that we should not offer to produce what has not been asked for.

Richard Martin

It's obvious how much they've improved and made this team what it is. They've been consistent for a team with an inconsistent roster this year.

Craig Mortensen

There's no contemplative process. She doesn't understand things that are so obvious to us.

Xavier Amador

There is a substantial and very obvious need for further U.K. port capacity.

Chris Lewis

Here we are up against obvious wickedness.

Dmitry Yakushkin

We continue to believe that Ford is fundamentally a much stronger company than GM and DaimlerChrysler, which is obvious from a comparison of each company's third-quarter performance.

Nicholas Lobaccaro

The limits of our military power must be obvious to all, and domestically we are divided as we have not been since Vietnam. So what should we do now? Can we think honestly about those with grievances against the U.S.? Can we think how to conclude the war in Iraq, how to offset the forces of extremism?

James Fallows

I am happy to be in but I was never anxious about it. I think this is the obvious team, I was more anxious about my foot.

Loretta Harrop

The first two times we met he didn't hurt me too much. I think he's gotten stronger since the last time we met, which is obvious.

Craig Weber

I don't think we ever look at things from a male-female perspective, but it's pretty obvious our women have done some amazing things here.

Shane Pearsall

One layer was certainly 17th century. The 18th century in him is obvious. There was the 19th century, and a large slice, of course, of the 20th century; and another, curious layer which may possibly have been the 21st.

Clement Attlee

It's pretty obvious that Glacier National Park has a whole lot more bears than anywhere else.

Kate Kendall

What I don't want to do is be an alarmist. What I wanted to do with this paper is to address some obvious concerns, and I wanted to do it scientifically.

Glenn Telling

To me that was interesting. A lot of romantic comedies, it's so obvious she shouldn't be with X and she should be with Y. This is more complicated than that.

Piper Perabo

I think the biggest thing that caused her to get better was her maturity. Her talent is obvious. But now the other girls can look at her as a leader.

Rick Butler

Historically, we have had a West Coast and an East Coast show. After the last show, though, we did a lot of market research and it was obvious that the market wanted one show.

Mike Sponseller

That has been shown on the videotape. It is quite obvious.

Jeremy Gunn

When drawings of the main buildings I have designed in the last five years are juxtaposed, the fact that they all involve the pursuit of certain configurations is obvious to anyone.

Yoshio Taniguchi

When I talked to Nick, he was floored. So was I. It's obvious these young men have been listening to the important lessons - and they taught us the lesson today.

John Quinn

With documentaries becoming a little more financially viable ... distributors are looking for documentaries and one of the obvious styles of documentary that have commercial crossover appeal are music docs.

Trevor Groth

In this case, it seems pretty obvious Mr. Brown just doesn't have the expertise or experience to head FEMA.

Mark Udall

I saw many actors from around the world: It was so obvious that this was the one woman on Earth who could play this role.

Rob Marshall

It doesn't seem to have any obvious place where it's coming from - and yet play it to anybody and they're arrested.

Simon Frith

It's obvious that they would take that strategy first.

Joe Bartolotta

Oil addiction can happen to anyone. For too long people have not faced up to their addiction and the consequences are now obvious. Your oil addition not only ruins your life and the life of your families, but the lives of most of the world's inhabitants.

Kathleen Rogers

In 1980, this was the best technology available. The intention was this building was going to last. But it's obvious the best intentions in engineering didn't advance to this period, and we have to replace the building.

Daniel Martinez

This has been in the works for a long time. This was something that was always obvious to do as a next step.

Craig Venter

You could see the teeth marks. It was an obvious bite mark. It was a despicable act. Our player has no doubt who bit him.

Jerry Holland

The email, written in broken English and with bizarre claims, is a particularly obvious example of one kind of scam that some online would-be criminals employ.

Adam Banker

It's pretty obvious we didn't do the proper checks.

John Rehrauer

Who could buy those shares? Disney is the most obvious candidate.

Robbert Van Batenburg

We are at the point where all the obvious things we tell Microsoft to do, they already do it.

Dan Kaminsky

In saying what is obvious, never choose cunning, yelling works better.

Cynthia Ozick

I think we had fun out there. The last game (in Kansas City), it was obvious, we weren't having fun.

Curtis Martin

We don't think it's a good depiction of out brand. It's not an association we feel comfortable with, for obvious reasons. Every dealer I've talked to is not in favor of this relationship.

Jack Carroll

There were some obvious things we had to make up for when Kate left. It forced the other girls to come into their own and they have.

Karrmayne King

If Savy was 5-10, 5-11, 6-foot, we wouldn't be talking about him. He wouldn't be in this league. He'd be in a higher league. It's obvious.

Paul Cabana

TYPE, n. Pestilent bits of metal suspected of destroying civilization and enlightenment, despite their obvious agency in this incomparable dictionary.

Ambrose Bierce

Whenever I went to the back, it was obvious what had happened.

Doug Conner

In the second 10 second trial, our numbers were really weird. It was obvious we did something wrong.

Mary Gregg

Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.

Thomas Love Peacock

It is so obvious that BC is committed and interested in the cause. They showed up and are overwhelming every other school here - even the event host!

Maureen Kelly

Absolutely. We are not in this thing to make money. That's obvious by some of the big losses we have taken. You pay down your debt and move forward. We need our farm system to help us so we only have to add a few key elements.

Charlie Monfort

The most obvious red flag is that thing called intuition. If there is a level of discomfort on part of the person meeting with the planner they should not get involved.

Noel Maye

It was obvious that we were nervous as a team. We were just half a step behind them.

Mirek Porosa

Nobody really knew what to do. Bernie didn't, Crosby didn't, I didn't. After a little while it was pretty obvious something was wrong.

B.j. Surhoff

You can see their speed on film. It's obvious that they have some real fast guys.

Leon Hall

The (federal administration) acted with great speed around anthrax and smallpox and other hypothetical war agents, but has neglected the most obvious threat, ... The Monster At Our Door – The Global Threat of Avian Flu.

Mike Davis

I have nothing I can point to that was an obvious turning point, ... The jury was out for seven hours and they came with a verdict of not guilty. There?s not much more I can say.

Lewis Armistead

It pretty was obvious what that answer was for that one.

Meghan Cronin

From the first day we had to deal with her, it was obvious that she might be mentally ill.

Terri Gallegos

If he's talking about the bloated managerial hierarchy, that's one thing. They've been cutting the fat for years. Aside from some obvious patronage positions, there's not so much left.

Jim Marketti

There's a good agriculture customer base and there's an increasing commercial and residential demand. There's an obvious shift ... from a mostly agriculture market to a mixed market.

Baron Davis

The attempts to bribe them are an obvious strategy to denude the DA of black membership and paint us into a white corner.

Radley Keys

I saw them get out with full hockey bags and masks over their faces. So it was pretty obvious to me what was going on.

Dave Penney

There is trauma, obvious trauma to the victims -- trauma that is not consistent with a car accident, but what that trauma is is not clear at this time.

Pete Smith

It became obvious that Sun was not interested in learning the truth about our technology. Instead, it was competitively motivated and was inevitably going to file a lawsuit against us.

Scott Sellers

Mladic is within the reach of the government in Belgrade and we cannot wait anymore for him to surrender himself. It is obvious now that he will never surrender. So he must be arrested.

Florence Hartman

At a basic and obvious level, it ties into gut level concern of ordinary people.

Tom Schlesinger

It is something that has been planned, that is quite obvious.

Sheila Dikshit

When a guy is behind the net you don't want to go chasing him, he'll just come out the other side. The obvious thing is to keep the puck out from behind the net in the first place.

Todd Marchant

Having seen the body myself and the damage that was done to the body, this is about what we expected the report to show. It's obvious that this man was beaten to death.

Richard Summers

I think they're both inward-looking. That's the most obvious parallel between the two.

Claire Danes

It was obvious Katie was not very good. She was awful. ... Katie was not only a girl, she was terrible.

Katie Hnida

Scott Garrett has been AWOL on this issue. It's not good enough to show up for photo ops and state the obvious.

Paul Aronsohn

We kind of knew he did them, but I don't know he did them. He didn't tell me. I never saw him using them. But it was kind of obvious.

Joe Blandino

It's obvious that the continued spread of broadband Internet access is having a great impact in driving the growth of online shopping in the U.S..

Jeffrey Grau

I wouldn't get into one individual. It's obvious right now we're not where we want to be.

Norm Stewart

When we got the ball back with about five minutes left, I asked the guys up top if we should go for two if we scored. The reasons were obvious. We missed our first two extra points, we had guys beat up and it was a non-league game.

Aaron Adams

I told him (Chris) I wanted him to go to Vegas with me. It's obvious he's got some luck on his side.

Mike Hoffstatter

One of the most obvious pictures of inequity in our district is in the elementary level, and it has to do with technology.

Greg Murray

This makes me very proud for my country but more than that I am myself proud. In Kenya my first son was born on Monday and it is obvious I will name him Helsinki.

Benjamin Limo

What is... disturbing to me is that many of these pro-Israeli lawmakers sit on the House International Relations Committee despite the obvious conflict of interest that their emotional attachments to Israel cause... The Israeli occupation of all territories must end, including Congress.

Cynthia Mckinney

It's obvious I'm going to have to win some of these.

Gary Bauer

It's obvious that the design was done incorrectly, ... Then there are code issues that have been violated with the way it was constructed.

Todd Duncan

It's obvious there's an impact [on earnings]; that's why we are cutting output to support our profitability.

Deon Dreyer

The kids are smart and are terrific listeners. They are learning something on jump after jump. It's obvious they're having a blast.

Fritz Carpenter

It's a really high price and not many people are willing to pay that, so I think Lehman is the more obvious.

Charles Peabody

A finding of lack of mens rea (guilty mind) is the obvious finding.

Kemp J. Kemp

When it came time to make the decision ... it was obvious.

Jerry Colangelo

It's a straightaway, it's the middle of the night, and people just wreck. There's no obvious reason for it. Generally in an accident like that someone either had a heart attack or fell asleep.

Paul Chapman

It was an obvious foul, it was just a matter of where it occurred.

Rhett Miller

Based on the re-sourcing threats and actions of many of the automakers, it's obvious that they are about as loyal to their old-line partners as Brad Pitt was to Jennifer Anniston.

Thomas Stallkamp

When it was obvious that nobody was interested in a book about the 'Nazi' way we treat animals.

Charles Patterson

It's becoming obvious to everybody that we're kind of at the bottom of the curve and that rental income is going to start climbing from here.

Cary Bruteig

Their goal is obvious to us – it's destabilization. We clearly realize that the authorities are considering chances to deceive the Ukrainian people once again ahead of the elections.

Viktor Yanukovich

When we ran the tape, it was obvious it (the clock) was jumping.

Chuck Heberling

There's an advantage to belonging to an international. One obvious thing (affecting union members) is the lack of a strike and defense fund.

David Mccall

Craig will be captain. He's the obvious choice.

John Lang

The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

Edward R. Murrow

Kraft is the most obvious spin, because its price is known.

Kraft Foods

If something's real successful, that's the obvious thing, to try it again.

Joan Osborne

It was pretty obvious that they were using the wrong answer key. There's never this many zeroes ever.

Douglas Martin

The level of play, if you go and compare their 11 to our 11, it's still very obvious that we're very young.

Rick Ball

There are companies that in my mind are obvious takeover candidates.

Harvey Eisen

It's obvious. That's where life comes from.

Kathryn Kennedy

It's obvious throughout secular and church history that significant legislation follows only after dramatic action.

Carter Heyward

There are very obvious features we've observed that indicate in the last 20 years the climate has been changing. Just looking at the changes in the glaciers in 20 years, the glaciers on the coastlines have been reduced in volumes.

Scott Ishman

We think that it's as critical and obvious as the idea of having wireless computing in the field.

Bill Clancey

There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact.

Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

It is completely obvious that this should have been done from the very beginning. The military has had every opportunity to do the right thing and they haven't. They knew all along that something was seriously wrong and they just wanted to cover it up.

Mary Tillman

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

It's obvious that he only massaged his figures.

Romulo Macalintal

Essentially Mel and Bill complained that I wasn't doing what the majority of the committee wanted. To claim that I'm not doing what the majority is asking is incorrect. It was obvious by the [no confidence] vote that I was.

Donald Defedele

It looks like we're doing as well as we've always done. But in fact, the world has changed. And it's for four big, real obvious reasons.

Alicia Munnell

We thought it was a fairly obvious out. I don't know why he did it or why people do, it's up to them really. But it was a nice gesture, I suppose.

Andrew Symonds

At this point, we feel very confident that this was not shipping damage. It's obvious that no crack is inconsequential in the business that we're in.

John Chapman

It's hard to believe that in the entire county there are only 360 pit bulls. To me, the obvious inference is that a large number of pit bulls are not registered.

Todd Greenburg

I'm in favor. The old limits were impractical to enforce. It seemed obvious that we needed a No Wake Zone.

Peter Black

I thought our guys played hard. We made some obvious mistakes. With all the hoopla before the game, maybe we weren't as sharp as we could have been.

Kevin Hartzell

I put a little more emphasis (than the other commissioners did) on the lack of savings when it seemed obvious that we had way too much infrastructure.

James Hansen

We just didn't play well. It was obvious that we played a good team tonight and they did what they had to do.

Fran Mcdevitt

I don't think it would make much sense if they did. It is pretty obvious when you censor it.

Margarita Simonyan

It is obvious that the government wants to continue this police state.

George Ishaq

I weed out the obvious ones that no one will convince me to show. My first rule is that it has to be a film you would want to see again.

Chris Robinson

It is obvious the company no longer felt it had a legal basis to pursue its defenses without Al.

Albert Dunlap

Given the obvious sensitivities, we could not accept involvement of Indian military on our side for relief operations.

Foreign Ministry

There are numerous steps to making the Purple Hearts. Although it seems obvious, it's not. We had to refine the process.

Tom Tucker

A man's character never changes radically from youth to old age. What happens is that circumstances bring out characteristics which have not been obvious to the superficial observer.

Hesketh Pearson

If you think about it, it's obvious why that's so. They have at their disposal the information which really is the top-secret, most precious, national security information that we have.

Andrew Mccarthy

Our biggest issue is, what is community service? Volunteering is obvious, (like) going to a senior center, soup kitchen, etc. With service learning, kids give a lifelong service (to their communities).

Brett Eckhart

It's obvious that the driving world has changed a lot since 1985. My car really would not match up to today's vehicles.

Stephen Johnson

He obviously changes the whole scope of the game when he's in the lineup. It's obvious he's at a whole other level.

Gary Bennett

The need was clear, and the opportunity was very obvious.

Gerald Prolman

The idea that he is haunted by what humans do — I just loved that irony because we are all so afraid of dying. Originally, he was a very different voice. He was supercilious. He was enjoying his work too much and he would say creepy things, which is the obvious.

Markus Zusak

I never received anything, ... It is obvious to me that the Americans want to implicate France.

Charles Pasqua

Every college except for one made the same decision. It's pretty obvious it's the right decision.

Howard Rundle

I like working with actresses, and I like women a lot, not for obvious reasons, but just in that that there's so much about what they bring to the scene that keeps it so interesting. Their instincts are so different, and they never explain them to you.

Ryan Gosling

The importance of performance per watt is obvious for things you carry along with you, such as laptops - you want higher performance and longer battery life. But increasingly it is essential for things beyond mobility.

Paul Otellini

It's been made obvious we don't have enough teacher or parent commitment to support it.

David Hunter

It was so obvious that it was genuine.

Paul Montgomery

It may not be something that you will see as obvious on the red carpet but (lingerie) is something that is very close to every woman.

Sara Tervo

It was obvious to me that CJ with her catering and food and beverage background was perfect for this position, ... And when Janice Lewandowski (Facilities Manager) retired, the spot was there.

Bill Horn

The gains have got more to do with the interest-rate cycle and expectations that it's very near to the peak. Property will be the obvious beneficiary.

Pauline Dan

The moral is obvious: it is that great armaments lead inevitably to war.

Edward Grey

Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no longer exists.

Edward de Bono

The district came to us with a request for a number of programs. This is the one we decided to invest in because we felt there was an obvious need.

Doug Hock

I see no reason for recording the obvious.

Edward Weston

It's obvious that the key problem facing humanity in the coming century is how to bring a better quality of life -- for 8 billion or more people -- without wrecking the environment entirely in the attempt.

Edward O. Wilson

Over time, it's become obvious these fees are causing harm to LIHEAP recipients.

Ed Hurley

No one has come up to me and said the rumors was false. I feel like since that hasn't happened it has to be the obvious.

Earl Watson

This advisory board is so political that sometimes they won't make the obvious decision in favor of restitution.

E. Randol Schoenberg

The duty of the Yugoslav president is to take care of the country's international position, ... It is obvious that he is not doing his job.

Zoran Djindjic

I think it's obvious that right now is kind of my opportunity in football. It's kind of make or break for what I'm going to do.

Evan Sharpley

There's no obvious reason why (Bobby) can't take state. If he just wrestles his best, I don't know why anyone would beat him.

Eric Sorensen

It's pretty obvious it's an issue on campus that needs to be addressed. We put a committee together and I supported it.

Eric Norris

We know it's coming together. You could see the progress from week to week in practices, even when it wasn't obvious in games.

Eric Heitmann

It would be a big thing for us to win the first game. It would be a big win, to set ourselves up for the rest of the tournament. But if we fall short, it's obvious I have full confidence in ourselves to come back from that.

Emily Zaplatosch

I'm very pro-environment, but let's figure out how to do it better and not jump through a dozen hoops to achieve what is obvious in the first place. There should be a categorical exclusion [for Falcon] just like airplanes that use non-toxic propellants. That would be a huge improvement.

Elon Musk
