Perry Crosswhite

That kind of flexibility helps people sustain change, and it's also a way of treating yourself with kindness and respect.

Vladimir Radmanovic
The only thing I believe is this: A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules.
Sparky Anderson

Their interesting and engaging mix of movies and series is an outstanding foundation upon which to build, and I'm looking forward to this great opportunity to bring a new generation of hits to the network.
Greg Daniels
I know John, so it's even more uncomfortable. I met Mr. Fielder before and I have great respect for his work.

The inscrutable wisdom through which we exist is not less worthy of veneration in respect to what it denies us than in respect to what it has granted.
Immanuel Kant
They know that they are to show respect. And we always have the flag front and center.
Sherry Kittay
If it was something that was juicy and good, we would go to them and say, 'This is potentially questionable. What's your input? What's your thought?' And if there was vehement rejection -- just like, 'I hate this. We can't do it. It's wrong' -- then we would respect the relationship.
Fabian Andre

Thomas Hicks
It is my hope that on Flag Day, all Americans take a moment to reflect on our blessings and pay gratitude to those who have made America the strong, free, fortunate nation it is. Today, we pause to pay respect to the American flag - a symbol of centuries of perseverance, pioneering and patriotism.
Roscoe Bartlett
This game is gay now. You can't even do anything anymore. They changed the game to favor the superstars. You can't do anything anymore to get some respect out there.
Donald Brashear
It is easier for fructose to be made into fat than for glucose to be made into fat. Additionally, there is a relatively strong literature showing negative consequences of fructose compared to glucose with respect to raising fatty substances in the blood.
Joanne R. Lupton
Anytime you lose that many games, it's really tough. You just have to keep grinding it out and hopefully we learned from it. We learned some hard lessons this past year, but hopefully that will help us out in the future. (KC manager Buddy Bell) has made some changes and he's a good manager. I have a lot of respect for him.
Jimmy Gobble
There's no player that we respect more than Isaac, both for his performance on the field and for his work in the community. We just kind of ran out of time.
Jay Zygmunt
We may not return the affection of those who like us, but we always respect their good judgment.
Lillian Carter
We don't make fun of the music in the slightest. We treat it with the utmost respect.

Howard Mann
We respect the right of our employees to organize.
Bob Phillips
Nothing that I did post-sentencing had anything to do with being disrespectful to you because I have the utmost respect for you, sir.

He was always such a gentleman that people couldn't help but respect his opinion.
Richard Nugent

Pete Carroll
I have great respect for the program at St. Ignatius. That's what makes this victory all the sweeter.
Adam Lechner
It's always fun to face Lee and I know he wants to beat the old ball coach. I respect Lee a great deal and he coaches like I coach. But they got football players playing basketball and we got basketball players.
Pop Williams
Our customers are entitled to their opinions and we respect that. When you have a passionate community of users, feelings are bound to run high.
Bruce Francis
We have a lot of respect for Florida. They are one of the top teams in the country. In fact, they were ranked No. 1 in the country going into the tournament. It really gives the guys a lot of confidence, and it really raises the bar as far as expectations.
Billy Chadwick
PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
Ambrose Bierce
We know we'll have to raise our level of play. Russ (Penn State coach Rose) always has his team prepared. I have a lot of respect for them. If you lose to Penn State, it's not a loss to hang your head.
John Dunning
All of the proposals being talked about with respect to 81 are expensive. It's a question of how we want to invent our future.
Rees Shearer
Word's out that it's good out there. People are smart, and I respect the local mind-set ... They want to go out there more responsibly.
Dick Jackson
I'm sure they're going to crowd the box and not give much respect to our passing game. The first win was a much bigger deal (than the first TD pass). To get that first one is a big deal, I'm not going to lie, but I'd rather do the little things, not turn the ball over and help us win.
Alex Smith
For many of the European insurers, Katrina will likely push the full-year 2005 (earnings) to an above-average year with respect to large losses.
Brian Shea
We don't do drugs, drink or use profanity. Instead we instill morals and values in my boys by raising them with a love of God and a love and respect for themselves and all people. I believe they will have a chance.
Anita Baker
There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.
Charles Baudelaire
We're disappointed but we respect the jury's verdict.
Tom Carson
We're not asking for amnesty. It's about respect. And taking to the streets is a way to make a statement.
Hector Flores
I believe the discussion of options and their risk trades were carried out professionally and with due respect to all opinions. The agency accepts the risk of flying the current configuration with its eyes open.
Bryan O'connor
While we are disappointed in Jason's lack of judgment and self-control, we will refrain from further comment out of respect to the judicial system.
Mark Shapiro
But once it's open and services are being conducted, we ask that proper respect be given.
Becky Richardson
The language in this version appeals more to organizations than individual users, especially concerning patents. There is more reference to suing companies that don't respect the license.
Stacey Quandt
It's fantastic for me and great to get this award on the day we win the Ashes, but respect to every player from both sides. I dropped six catches this summer so maybe it's not a bad thing I got lucky a couple of times today. That is the best innings I will ever play.
Kevin Pietersen
It appears credible that the opposition is winning. The U.S. believes the (Yugoslav) government ought to respect the will of the people.
Charles Hunter
We are confident we have freedom to operate. With respect to Guidant's product, it would be inappropriate for us to comment.
Jonathon Hamilton
You figure they cheat at the ballpark, they'll cheat on the golf course, they'll cheat in business, and anything else in life. Players may laugh about it and say it's funny, but right down in their heart, they don't think it's funny at all, and they have no respect for a person who cheats.
Bob Feller
There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.
Nathaniel Branden
One of the objectives I have set for the side is to win back the respect of the rest of the league. We are getting it back little by little and we hope to put the club back where we want it to be soon.
Pepe Murcia
We truly respect all our opponents. But honestly, these girls fear no one.
Mike Gutierrez
Salt Lake scares me. They're not going to make mistakes that will keep them out of one-run games. I have a lot of respect for them.
Randy Wilstead
More than just service, it's the respect, rapport, ambience that engages customers so that price becomes the last thing on their minds as they walk around stores.
Candace Corlett
She never has to study until 3 o'clock in the morning ? she's very organized. I really respect that of her. I never have to tell her to do her homework or study, she's already taken care of that. Even when she was little.
Sandra Alcaraz
Respect [administration lawmakers'] vote just as they respect yours.
Prospero Nograles
They have been the driving forces that provided us instruction and modeling. The support, encouragement, respect and friendship has made this experience so wonderful.
Deborah Halvorson
I respect what he's done in this game. He's a great guy. You see him as being so fierce and intense, but when you talk to him one-on-one, you see what a great guy he is. He said this is his way to give back to the game, his way to give back to other players. It was something that superstars in his day, who he watched and admired, did for him.
Matt Thornton
It is important that the terrorists be brought to trial and convicted of their crimes. It is equally important that the fight against terrorism be conducted in full respect to the principles of human rights and democracy.
Nikolaus Scherk
Bob and I have had a splendid, happy working relationship in which, in every respect, he has run the school. He has been deeply involved in everything we do here. We will miss him tremendously.

Amy Donovan
I respect and love this building. I'm going to miss it.
John O'quinn
Barry is Barry -- you have to respect him as a great hitter. I'm not sure what to expect. I'll be watching him to see how he looks, and I'll try to call the right pitches, the way I always do.
Ramon Hernandez
I say what I'm about to say with all due respect. We are not going to be anybody's second fiddle. We're not going to be anybody's poor little brother. . . . I hope tomorrow we can hire the next one that everyone wants in five years.
Rick Hartzell
Discipline is based on pride, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure.
Gary Ryan Blair
It was real exciting to break the losing streak. But this year we feel like we're on a mission, to earn some respect.
Sean Brennan
I respect her process, and Mrs. Clinton is going to have to take the time she needs.
Nita Lowey
Chas is doing a great job. For a receiver, you have to get to a point where you aren't thinking so much and you start reacting on the field. I think he's really turned the corner in that respect.
