Every culture I've ever been able to find has taken eclipses as being bad omens.

Brad Schaefer

[D'Alema said a decision would be taken] in the next few days. ... a very serious obstacle to the search for any solution.

Abdullah Ocalan

But you should know that over the last year and a half, there have been disciplinary actions taken, and in fact there have been cases where people have been fired for inappropriate expenses.

Geoff Regan

The absence of access is seriously prejudicing Microsoft's right of defense. The position taken by the commission is particularly troubling because it contradicts the commission's stated commitment to increased transparency and due process in antitrust investigations.

Ian Forrester

It is time to be taken more seriously.

Jorge Castaneda

They have not taken the views of the parish into consideration.

Terry Taylor

It's taken a season. Rushing with a guy like Jason ... you know he's kind of unpredictable in his rush because he's going to take what the offense gives him. He's going to force the issue, but if he sees he can beat (the offensive lineman) inside, he's going to beat him inside.

Vonnie Holliday

The one thing that's going to be taken into consideration throughout is, how many cabinet ministers can you have from Alberta?

Faron Ellis

They have taken away three sailors. We think they have been killed already.

Jayantha Perera

Now the first step has to be taken, the step towards democracy. This step is full of risks, and requires trust on all sides. We don't know where it will lead. But if we just stand still, we will have no chance of escaping the violence.

Daniel Barenboim

If a student has given up, if they are not willing to sit for March and May tests, they certainly have not taken advantage of every possible opportunity and would not likely be given permission to participate in the graduation.

Suzanne O'connell

IBM has taken a leadership role in this area and is prepared to be a technology partner with companies around the world to take advantage of these new developments.

John Patrick

We had eight seniors last year, so leadership was taken care of. But this year was my time to step up.

Herb Pope

I don't think we've ever taken it [winning the league] for granted. When you win the title, you find it's even harder to defend it; Arsenal have never been able to defend a Championship and we hope Chelsea face that sort of problem this year.

Ryan Giggs

You're talking about safety precautions or lack thereof that are taken when doing hot cutting work.

Bob Benedetti

The extended journeys taken by the two rovers across the surface of Mars has allowed the science community to continue to uncover discoveries that will enable new investigations of the red planet far into the future.

Mary Cleave

I know the prime minister is in full agreement with the action we have taken so far in relation to the railways and ... he wants me to get on with the job to improve the railway system.

Stephen Byers

This shows that we are actively going after the network. We've taken down the number two in the network and that is going to have an impact.

Steve Boylan

I think Shannon should look at my granny and tell her that he's sorry, because he kept calling and asking if they were all right and if they had been found. And all the time he knew that he had taken their lives.

Lisa Parker

Mother Nature didn't make slate for the purpose of putting it on a roof. We did. We've taken out all of the vulnerabilities and disadvantages of the natural material.

John Humphreys

The delightful sense of importance that had been mine as a child actress was taken out of me. It seemed as if anyone could do better than I did. In every part I was worse than in the one before, and even my mother admitted that it would be a mercy if gestures could be dispensed with entirely.

Maude Adams

We're very concerned that many immigrants are being taken advantage of and relying on these documents to their detriment.

Cheryl Little

Central is probably the best 10-12 team I've seen in a long time. They've played bigger schools like Lanier and Carver, so they've taken some losses. From what I hear, they've just gotten better late in the season.

Chris Goodman

Though Gray Davis now apparently has finally taken my advice of last week and issued the executive order, his delay here -- as it has been in so many areas as the energy crisis and the budget crisis -- is absolutely shameful and intolerable.

Bill Simon

There not real elections, there are elections like the kind they have in Cuba where you know who the winner is going to be before the first vote is taken.

Norman Adler

My feelings right now are indescribable. After a trip of 24 hours, we were taken to south-eastern Iran and were freed. We are all happy and healthy. We thank every one who has helped us.

Avni Ozan

What we have done is taken a lot of inspiration from the mainframe, which was arguably one of the most evolved forms of computing made by man. Fabric7 has taken the overall view of the mainframe and moved it to the 21st century.

Sharad Mehrotra

Calculated risks of abuse are taken in order to preserve higher values.

Warren E. Burger

It can be taken as that `we're not functioning as boards of racial purity with a board of white guys that sit around and decide who's an Indian and who's not.'

Ward Churchill

When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

George Carlin

As new people come on board, we simply have to ensure in a timely fashion all the necessary steps are taken, including the training video.

Rev. Gregory Schlesselmann

Go back in any news archive and look at the men who have been freed from prison, look at the men that have been taken off death row. Mistakes happen. Bad directions are taken by district attorneys; police make mistakes. It happens all the time: False accusation is commonplace.

Kerry Sutton

I was quite taken with her, because I'd never seen the African influence in dance with that kind of strength and artistic power. It impacted my soul. No one had reached those heights. She was the definitive black dance company. She moved among the highest intellectuals of black culture, all the writers and painters and literary folk.

Harry Belafonte

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

Michael J. Fox

When I first came to New York and saw Italian families and their displays of affection, I was taken aback a bit because it was uninhibited.

Frank Mccourt

It will take more work to see if infected animals can be taken out of the wild, cleaned up and released. At the moment, people are concentrating on keeping [the disease] out.

Richard Griffiths

It shows how good the youth systems and coaching have been at Forest and West Ham because Martin Jol has taken me, Jermaine Jenas and Andy Reid from Forest and also has Jermain Defoe and Michael Carrick, who came from West Ham.

Michael Dawson

[Initially, Tensar believed the system would pay for itself in the first year. It didn't but, says Oliver,] Had we taken it in bite-sized pieces we'd have achieved that. ... We'd probably have benefited if we'd tried to keep it simpler. We tried to bite off more than we could chew to start with.

Steve Butler

Unless action is taken soon - unless we can display the same vision of that earlier period - we will lose the treasure of California's open space and environmental beauty.

Adam Schiff

Any loss is disappointing toward the end of the season. We had a lot of opportunities to get ahead and didn't take them. Our guards could have taken better care of the ball. You have to stop and make those plays and we didn't do that tonight. We missed a couple of good shots.

Tom Bonfigli

I haven't taken you to any meetings, have I?

Val Kilmer

I guess it's one of those things that happens to a lot of people as they start to be viewed as a veteran, ... For some of us, that means they start getting more attention. Others get it early on. For me, it's taken a long time to get where I am now. But that's OK. My career has kept me honest.

Mulgrew Miller

The fundamentals of the region have improved. Countries have taken advantage of the favorable international environment.

Sebastian Briozzo

We have a lot of guys who didn't come into the season with much playing experience. It's taken a long time to get them to buy into our philosophy, but once they started accomplishing some goals things, started going our way.

Chuck Roach

Basically, it's that I know I want it more than anyone else. I'm going to be the most successful cornerback taken in this draft. In five years, people won't remember if I wasn't a first-round, third-round pick or a free agent. But they will know that I am the most productive cornerback in the draft.

Joey Thomas

It's very crucial in a life-saving issue to make sure something as simple as numbers is taken care of, ... If someone's having a heart attack, you're trying to get there in four to six minutes, no more than ten minutes.

David Burnett

We know we have it (PRP) for 2006, but funding has been taken away for 2007. However, it could be back in 2008.

Rod Nelson

We've taken a slightly longer-term look at our figures and we reckon the benefits of cost-cutting will be greater than previously thought.

Nigel Cobby

To be honest, it seems like the decision to release me was taken way in advance. When they informed me about it, they told me a big man was what they were looking for. Had I known that before, I would have not come to training camp with the Magic. . . . I think they should have shown more respect to Felipe Lopez the person. I feel like I have been used.

Felipe Lopez

Yes, it was taken as a political visit.

Lisa Goldman

She collapsed at school and was taken to the hospital, ... That's how we found out she had asthma. It hit us by surprise.

Derek Johnson

This company will torture us for another 20 to 30 years, even if it doesn't get anything, ... There will be fear for any of our exhibitions and any of our property abroad. We should have taken care of this problem long ago.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky

The NUS shares students' concerns over the decision taken by the AUT not to set exams. We believe these are valid concerns, as not setting exams will mean that restoring a normal service to students will take longer once the dispute is settled. The NUS has raised the matter formally with the AUT, and will continue to put forward our views on this issue.

Kat Fletcher

It substantiates the reports that we have received over the years and from reserve and Guard members who have been recently called to active duty. It also demonstrates that actions that address criminal behavior need to be taken.

Christine Hansen

We've taken as much on Adelaide this week as we have for the other three teams combined.

Gary Davies

The work force is the first and foremost priority -- making sure that they are safe, and that they are taken care of. At the same time, a lot of those people who are affected are also motivated to get back to the business of flying space flights.

Kyle Herring

As a result of the complaint it was taken out of the exhibition with the proviso that there would be a debate about the boundaries of art.

Ruth Gilgen

Expecting job growth on the order of about 150,000 in December, financial markets were taken aback, to say the least, when those figures came in at only a thousand new jobs.

Amy Crews Cutts

The photos were taken at the three islands, North Island, South Island, and Stewart Island. There are a few good shots of a famous surf spot called Raglan - it's the longest surf left in the world and featured in the classic surf movie 'Endless Summer.' I also have a few of Clint's fishing boat, F/V Rachel, leaving the Port of New Zealand.

Karen Edwards

Jeremy was back at the club on Sunday night after being taken to the Burnie Hospital and the prognosis is very good.

Dale Perry

It's not an easy decision because tennis has been my life. But I've taken this decision with my head not with my heart. I think I have to be happy because from now on I will be able to dedicate my time to other things.

Conchita Martinez

The water stayed where it was supposed to be, ... I think we've taken care of the problem. It looked no different yesterday than it did last week.

Robert Crawford

BT's 2Q 05/06 results would appear at first glance to be bang in line with our below-consensus expectations. But slightly more-than-expected margin weakness and lower cash flow is unlikely to be taken well. Our sell rating is maintained.

Chris Alliott

We've taken a look at this situation and incorporated some lessons learned. We will work very hard to help ensure something like this doesn't happen in the future.

Stephen Toulouse

The early retirement and now this [corruption] stuff has taken away years and years of experience where you could call and try and resolve problems without making them acts of Congress.

Patrick O'connor

After everybody had taken pictures and gone I went up and put my hand on his shoulder, kind of looking at him in the eye, and I realized he's a hero to me.

Bruce Moore

The perception is that somehow they're paper tigers, and they aren't. Everybody needs to hope the higher seeds hold on and win their tournaments. If Gonzaga had gotten beat the other night, that would have taken up one of the other spots.

Thomas Yeager

We elected not to include almost 500 members of the reporting press in the Waldorf because it's a zero-sum game. They would take the place of government, business, academic and religious leaders. They would have overwhelmed the meeting and taken away many important voices.

Charles Mclean

With the election well out of the way, the chancellor's forecasts have taken a step back towards reality.

Peter Spencer

Americans are stuck at giving 2 percent of their income to charity. What that means is that it's a fixed pie. ... Unless people change their behavior, a lot of giving will be taken away from other groups.

Daniel Borochoff

It has taken me years of struggle, hard work and research to learn to make one simple gesture, and I know enough about the art of writing to realize that it would take as many years of concentrated effort to write one simple, beautiful sentence.

Isadora Duncan

The enabling factor is that you can now realistically build a device for a few hundred dollars that has enough memory, processing power, display technology, and battery life to allow you to start locally running applications that before would have taken a fairly powerful -- and power hungry -- desktop PC.

Phil Hester

Our sense here has been that the (desert) site was a bookmark and an attempt to demonstrate due diligence. It was never taken seriously.

Orlando Foote

I go to the airport and I've had everything taken away from me because of the terrorists. People haven't realized yet, though, that we are at war.

Victoria Toensing

Oil prices have continued to move higher and equities have apparently taken it badly.

Daniel Katzive

As the world takes prudent measures to prepare for a major human pandemic, greater measures must be taken to stop this disease, in its tracks, at its source, in animals. This is very possible. It can be done.

Jacques Diouf

We can expect more from our students both academically and behaviorally if we increase the difficulty level of the curriculum, ... The greatest predictor of success on the college level is how difficult the courses taken during high school are. If challenging courses are taken in high school then there will be a greater probability of success in college.

Paul Fitzgerald

I knew he deserved a 'T', I just wanted to know why the points were taken off. He said the rule is the basket can't count on slapping or intentional jarring of the basket, the basket does not count no matter what. Before, after, whatever.

Chad Cruthis

The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that position be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.

Angela Davis

It's a strong brand and we are pleased to have taken it on board.

Rob Lindsay

Being a consumer myself, I really am critical. I really watch to see that people are taken care of, because we try so hard to be friendly and to make people feel comfortable.

Vicki Hauser

Once again, tourists get taken hostage. We were told to take a plane, but what do we do with our cars? We are not going to leave them to these Corsican jerks.

Patricia Berthet

In response to the report, we've heard high levels of concern about these chemicals from auto companies around the world. Volvo and Hyundai have taken the greatest initiative. The response has shown that the case for eliminating the use of these chemicals in autos is stronger then ever before.

Jeff Gearhart

My sister works in an inner-city school in Greenville, South Carolina, and she brought many of her at-risk kids to our show yesterday to the sound-check. It was amazing how these kids opened up with music. Music teaches so much about focus and concentration and group dynamics and appreciation for subtlety and beauty. And that's being taken away from schools.

Natalie Merchant

Donna was not in the rescue business. This was kind of thrust upon her. All the birds that were evacuated to the Lamar-Dixon convention center and Louisiana State University were later taken to her house, and she now has almost 300 birds.

Jinx Scogin

We've seen some good things from him from Day One. His route-running is good. He's getting better, but he's not where we think he can be yet. He hasn't taken it to the end zone yet. He's going to get better as we go down the stretch, but I'm happy with what he's done so far.

Aaron Lee

I'm 71 years old, and I had no idea you could swallow a pill and have pictures taken of your insides. They've come up with so many things during my life.

Catherine Kent

[Daniels is now a starting running back for the Warriors as well as a starting linebacker. He has taken hits and has given hits. Sometimes he carries the ball and sometimes he blocks for his teammates when they get the ball.] It feels great to be out there, ... To be able to play football again is great. Its wonderful. I love it.

Tom Daniels

They had taken (their aggression) out on us and we were mad. We wanted to come out and get them. We came to practice with energy, and it carried over to here.

Jamont Gordon

We want them to learn to take care of themselves and know there are other people out there they need to be taken care of, as well.

Denell Stosio

I'm glad the court finally agreed that the state didn't meet the burden of proof in this case. I'm sorry that it's taken so long.

Michael Brennan

The bishops of the church have never taken responsibility for their role in the sex abuse crisis. Almost from the very beginning, they have tried to blame the crisis on homosexuality in the priesthood.

Francis Debernardo

[At one stage, when they stop to ask directions, they pick up a local on a bike who, in true Moroccan style, turns out to be a fake guide.] He just took us to where he wanted to go and got out, ... We got back at 2.15am, not a single drink was found or taken. Hey ho.

William Dalrymple

Justin has taken to his role as our closer. Tonight we brought him in earlier than we normally would have, and he stepped up and responded in a positive manner.

Rusty Robinett

The attorney general plays a role in bringing people together, ... But Senator Ashcroft has often taken aggressively activist positions on a number of issues that deeply divide the American people. He had a right to take these positions, but we also have a right and duty to evaluate how these position will affect his conduct as attorney general.

Senator Patrick Leahy

This is the kind of getaway we would want, where you are pampered and taken care of but nobody is in your way. Getting that 'space' from others and time alone is really hard to get sometimes.

Bill Bowen

Apparently tensions are high because alcohol and weapons were taken away from the evacuees. Don't ask me how they got alcohol.

Deirdre Delisi

We have sent teams of microbiologists to the places where large-scale deaths of birds have taken place.

H.k. Pradhan

I encourage people, don't leave your cat loose and assume it is being taken care of. It will fend for itself and contribute to the problem. I also recommend that people take care of their pets and have them spayed and neutered.

Doug Lister

He had taken out loans that were secured by the slaves. But when the slaves were freed, he still had to pay the debts. Into the 1870s, banks in Philadelphia were forcing him to pay back the loans.

Jimmy Marston

We know that the doctors and the staff that have taken care of them really care about them. It's not just a job for them, and that has made all the difference to us.

Nicole Draper

And we hope that the new assembly will invite those parties that have not taken part in the election in joining us in writing the constitution. This will pave the way for a far more inclusive election... at the end of this year.

Adnan Pachachi

We've taken numerous steps, from working with the states to identify people who are on both Medicaid and Medicare, to making sure that they will continue to get all of the drugs they need beginning on January 1.

Peter Ashkenaz

It looks as almost nothing is off limits. Almost everything is capable of being taken out, either by a bigger rival or private equity firm.

Roger Nightingale

It really should be taken out of the realm of politics. It's a public health job. The head of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) isn't a political appointment, and it's in the same realm.

Raymond Woosley

And I think he needs to be taken very seriously. I will take him very seriously.

Gary Hirshberg

I thank god for the 19 years he gave her to me, but why her life was taken from me, I just don't understand.

Cynthia Lee

Journalism has always existed in two different realities . . . the economic marketplace and [the] special institution to serve the public interest. The traditional balance between those two has become destabilized. Economic reality has taken over.

Joan Konner

Money for schools is given through tax money. Every year there is a plan of what revenue is expected. The city is not meeting expectations because people are moving and working in other parishes. Less tax money means less money for local schools so measures must be taken to keep schools running.

Richard Hartley

Basically, I don't think that was a deal that in a million years Jerry Jones would have taken.

Sheryl Skolnick

It's uncharted territory for us. The history portion is one that you'd like to think would be significant. I don't know about ... why it has taken so long, but I'm just happy that we're getting a shot.

Buddy Pough

It is the same in love as in war; a fortress that parleys is half taken.

Marguerite de Valois

If it is shown that depleted uranium causes an increase in cancers, then we have got to look at alternative weapon systems and at precautions which could be taken to protect our troops, as well as at how we can clean up the areas where the shells were used.

Bruce George

My favorite part of the exhibit, ... is the 'Outside Over There' original drawings, because I can see where he has changed from a more cartoon aspect. It really looks like an opera set, and he has taken from what he's working on in 'The Magic Flute' and put it in this book. It's a complete change of approach to children's book illustration.

Harriet Warkel

I was hoping he (Dyer) would have taken responsibility for what he did, but that didn't happen. I had to have faith that by telling the truth, the jury would see through his story.

Brandon Small

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

We're both devastated. We've actually been in shock for the last few days since Maurice was taken ill, and so this has all gone too fast for us.

Robin Gibb

We were talking about how we wished we had enjoyed the time, like when we were touring in that little van. We wished we had really taken the time to look around and be happy about where we were. I enjoyed it, but it was always hand in hand with fear and this drive to get to the next levels. I was never looking around so much.

Fabrizio Moretti

It's past the point of being ridiculous. It's just hard to believe it's taken so long.

Paul Griffin

I fear that the approach being taken by this administration to move the Vision forward over the near term may make it very difficult to sustain the initiative beyond 2008.

Bart Gordon

She's always had dogs. They've come before and taken 15 to 20 dogs a couple of times out of there. She would never give them all the dogs, of course today, all the dogs went.

Larry Pugh

There were a lot of games that I could have taken but I had fun out there. In my first U.S. Open I couldn't have asked for any more.

Sania Mirza

Unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Bible

He was an extremely nice guy, he would do anything in the world for you. He had just about taken me in as a grandchild.

Alan Fulton

When (Reitz) was out, we should have taken advantage.

Skip Mills

These are the steps we feel, strongly, need to be taken if what we're facing is a new paradigm in hurricane activity.

Mayco Villafana

The crew that are putting them up can't replace them as fast as they're being taken down.

Paul Stone

I'm happy that they finally have taken the next step in the process and we might finally get some justice here.

Michael Crowe

In the current circumstances and based upon the positions taken by U S West Inc. in its press release earlier this afternoon, the major telecommunications company has withdrawn from discussions to acquire Qwest and U S West.

Joseph Nacchio

Had the technology to dispose off the toxic ship been cheap and easy, the French themselves would have taken care of the ship instead of giving away the business to India.

Vandana Shiva

The generally accepted explanation for the Miracle was that it had been just that: an act of divine intervention on a colossal scale ... An event had taken place in defiance of everything commonly accepted as natural law; it had fundamentally transformed a generous portion of the EarthÕs surface in a single night. It's only precedents were Biblical.

Charles Wilson

Probably two years ago we would have taken the take-what-you-can-get attitude, but now we think we can afford to wait.

Joe Higgins

A number of films ... have taken a story that may not seem so fresh, but they made it fresh because of their level of detail and nuance.

Geoffrey Gilmore

People should be concerned about this information. That's why we want to have steps taken immediately to fix it.

Bill Hayden

We'll have our hands full there, ... They have a good ball club. I know them from having been in the district with them in the past. We'll go to work on Monday and get things taken care of.

Bob Barrett

We were not aware of any court action that was taken. This was taken independently of that.

Christine Karbowiak

When you see it after the fact that they actually had a machine-gun, and knowing what's happened at some other crossings in the past, there is a fear, a legitimate fear, and part of that is anger that nothing has been done, that nothing's taken place, and nothing has happened.

George Scott

We had it just to have a party, and since we were having a party, we wanted the money to go to a good cause. Now I think the fundraising for CARC is what's really important, it's what's taken over.

Colin Mcenroe

Dennis has not behaved well and the fact he has taken it with bad grace shows we made the right decision. It smacks of sour grapes. He said he would be happy to continue playing as long as the new manager wanted him; so in no way was he misled. He said he was assured the job was his, but that is simply not true.

Rupert Lowe

We understand that people may fear that their homes will somehow be taken through eminent domain for commercial purposes. Although this has not been the case in San Jose Strong Neighborhood Initiative areas, we want to reassure our residents that it won't happen.

Harry Mavrogenes

They were grabbing and holding Jones' jersey all night long, but then we got the offensive (penalty) call. We had a touchdown taken away from us last week at McCutcheon.

Craig Barr

It's taken a lot of work. I've practised very hard the last few months, and I'm pretty happy to see the results so fast. Now I'm going to practise even harder to continue to improve my game.

Ana Ivanovic

I am very happy that people have understood our desire to develop this design beyond the ideas we first presented. Now we have taken everything a step further, in order to connect this building to the city around it.

Santiago Calatrava

It really doesn't matter whether there has been an attempt at an outright ban or merely an attempt to influence these properties. We're still talking about action that is taken under the color of the law and is therefore governmental action that is, frankly, censorship.

Allen Lichtenstein

What matters most in this case was the effective steps taken by the university.

Gene Marsh

Our would-be presidents think that Monrovia is the whole of Liberia. None of them has taken time off to tell us in detail how Liberia or our county will be developed.

Johnny Smith

The industry is still pretty young, so it's not surprising that it's taken a while to reach this stage.

Charles Bugg

It wouldn't have taken much to just pop over, would it?

John Paul Jones

We will have to assess how much his time in India has taken out of him.

Mike Watkinson

Immediate steps have been taken internally at the Globe and Telegram & Gazette to increase security around credit card reporting.

Richard Gilman

If we are to abolish the death penalty, I should like to see the first step taken by my friends the murderers.

Alphonse Karr

I think it's a great idea. It's been very popular, and everybody that has taken it has had fun. It's an opportunity for both (child and adult) to participate together.

Rachel Bicego

It's evidence that privacy is not being taken seriously. The guidance is very clear.

Peter Swire

I think you have the man in a position where he's doing better now, financially, then he was prior to the incident that is alleged to have taken place.

Marvyn Kornberg

We've taken some positive steps forward since Holiday break, but this evening we took some steps backwards. Our opponents were tough and they took it to us.

Jim Pappas

We have taken note that Joseph Zen was appointed as a cardinal by the Vatican. We advocate that religious figures should not interfere with politics.

Liu Jianchao

The matter will be discussed. I don't want to say a decision about the Spears will be taken, but I doubt it. In all probability, a decision will not be taken now because we must first visit the Spears.

Johan Prinsloo

I didn't want to get hurt. If I had torn my ACL it would have taken a while to recover. I want to give myself a chance to play baseball, reach my goals and try and make the pros.

Jonathan Cluff

The train was already crowded by the time I got on. I did get a seat, but after that, all of the seats were taken.

Kathy Mash

Membership of the United Nations gives every member the right to make a fool of himself, and that is a right of which the Soviet Union in this case has taken full advantage.

Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.

The people need to know why it has taken so long to try this case.

John Dalton

Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you've become a comfortable, trusted element in another person's life.

Dr. Joyce Brothers

The last three years have really taken a toll on the industry. The demand for building supplies has been huge. You don't see annual prices being listed anymore. Most of what you will see is prices that are only good for 90 days.

Joel Adams

It's pretty good that we've taken a pro-active approach to make sure that we have the systems in place to receive those weather warnings and to get that message out to the public whether it be to evacuate, to shelter in place - whatever the warning might be that we need to issue, we have that in place.

Robert Hemminger

The reality is, there is no point denying this, that Tony has taken a big political hit as a result of what is perceived to be a strong relationship with President Bush.

Alastair Campbell

It's what I do. I own a boxing gym, I teach boxing lessons and I'm still young enough to fight, ... I haven't taken a lot of punishment in my career, so I figure I've still got some good fights left in me. After we relocated the gym, it sort of gave me a little new life and I decided to fight while I still had a few good years left.

Frank Wood

We found a wonderful book of Tahitian tatoos, so we've taken a lot of inspiration from that.

Graham Fraser

Our patients are very busy people with families that just want to come in and have their problems taken care of and leave.

Cindy Culpepper

Warburg has been taken by surprise by the strength of Morgan Stanley, Merrill and Goldman in M&A underwriting in Europe.

Guy Moszkowski

It's being pulled into the candle, so that's why it's being taken out of the ear and letting the ear canal become clear again.

Filiberto Martinez

I was the one to identify the ring that was taken off the body, ... Those who didn't believe it are holding their head in shame now.

Simeon Wright

Never in my 20 years of coaching this sport have I had one player - let alone two - taken from a field via ambulance. The most painful, emotional night in my softball life.

Rick Hohenthaner

Clearly we don't want those families to be taken advantage of by scoundrels or scam artists.

Jennifer M. Granholm

The coach and the players, it's taken awhile to get to where we know each other, and what to expect. There was a lot of talk last year about guys not being happy. It's been a big process of the leaders saying, let's meet halfway. That's been the biggest thing this year. Guys are taking ownership.

Nick Greisen

There's a presumption taken by the (U.N.) commission that the very presence of Syrian troops and the Syrian security organs in Lebanon is something which should imply so and so and so.

Riyad Dawoodi

The new deal has taken a while to sort out, but there was never any question about me staying. I just wanted to ensure all the details were absolutely right. I want to captain this club in what is hopefully going to be a very successful period.

Ledley King

It was a great relief when she fouled out, because she is a great player and had taken over the game.

Brian Harrigan

I like manual labor. Whenever I've got waterlogged with study, I've taken a spell of it and found it spiritually invigorating.

W. Somerset Maugham

From the first paragraph, I was hooked. I really felt taken by his voice and the way he was writing about the Midwest, in particular.

James Still

Receiving the Quality Service Award allows me to demonstrate even further to my clients that my commitment and dedication to their satisfaction and peace of mind during the real estate transaction is real and taken very seriously.

Allan Rodgers

It's like playing Battleship with the prostate. Every hole that we have has a coordinate, and we can place the needle through that. We have a picture that overlays and shows us the prostate and where that biopsy's being taken from. Then, we can basically look at the picture when we get a positive biopsy back and see exactly where the cancer is in the gland.

Dr. Gary Onik

We continue to aggressively restructure the operations of our core holdings and have taken several key steps to improve the prospects of these businesses.

David Wetherell

We just don't have enough time. The prescription drug debate has taken a lot longer than we thought.

Ranit Schmelzer

And we have not taken it to the Board of Regents. Once it is approved with the Board of Regents, it will become public.

Cary Groth

When you can only get so much radio airplay -- which is mainly taken over by major labels -- (TV) helps with a critical-mass kind of approach.

Jennifer Czeisler

Ali is so taken by the pole vault that I had to go get her for the hurdles.

Kevin Connell

The real estate transaction is fairly complex and one of the advantages of using a professional is that they are knowledgeable of the market and they have the ability to negotiate the contract agreement. They ensure that all the details that people tend to overlook are taken care of.

Jeff Lubar

He tried to give Cameron Diaz the right of first refusal to the photographs that he had lawfully taken with her consent back in 1992 and she brought some very powerful, enormous interests to bear against him.

Mark Werksman

The plane had already taken off but suddenly it started shaking and banked steeply to the left and then bang, there was fire everywhere. The whole thing only took a matter of seconds.

Rohadi Sitepu

I don't think anyone can say they've taken that substantial of market share in that short of time.

Glenn Cohen

I believe that the challenge has to be taken step by step, and the first of those is that we must try and stay in the Premiership.

Alexandre Gaydamak

It could be just some nasty virus that hit Longfellow hard, and hopefully by Monday, it will be taken care of.

Susie Poulton

Anger is a natural response when something you value is taken away from you. You may feel alone, isolated or not understood.

Anne Grant

I'd argue that CEOs, with all the corporate scandals that have taken place, are more interested in effective communication than even political people, because corporate people are interested in the bottom line, and so for them good words, good phrases, good presentation matter more than anything.

Frank Luntz

Oftentimes, we used that discretion to give the applicator a warning and to go over some of the deficiencies and the corrective action that can be taken.

Scott Hudson

It is a very popular occupation in Britain among people interested in aviation. I just cannot believe that the Greeks have taken this attitude towards them.

Gerald Howarth

Gymnastics has gone from strength to strength in recent years. We have modernised, appointed a national coach in Tracey Skirton and taken a more gymnast-centred approach the results are rich reward for the efforts on both athletes and coaches, and I am confident that better things are still to come.

Helen Phillips

Our preparation and consistency in practice has led to success in games. It's taken three years for the team to find that consistent level, and right now they have it.

James Franklin

This was a big point for us. It is probably the best team we've taken a point off this year.

Jack Heavey

I am satisfied that it is appropriate to make that return after having taken into account the review of financing, the ability to invest in opportunities within the group to deliver attractive returns, and the need to make additional payments to our group pension schemes.
