European Quotations | Page 5

Regarding relations with the European Union, all the declarations of the election campaign have been positive.

Recently, many European countries have increased access to higher education. Dr. Card wanted to see first-hand how those changes have been implemented, and her experiences may prove useful to higher education in the United States, and specifically South Dakota.

Our position as regards the restrictions imposed by the European Union remains unchanged -- these sanctions are unsubstantiated, deliberate and useless.

Our relationship is going to be long and no doubt fruitful. As far as our views on the France-German relationship and the demands of European construction are concerned, we were in complete agreement,

Part of my role is to extend the reach of Hearts, ... In our outlook, we're not just a Scottish football club. We're now getting more and more UK coverage than at any time in our recent history and also more European coverage.

Our objective must therefore be to ensure EU better regulation contributes towards delivering a modern European Union which relentlessly focuses on building a dynamic and innovative economy equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Such cooperation will help to break the US monopoly in manned space flight . But more significant is that it will facilitate the world's space research if Russia, China and the European Union coordinated together on space research.

Suspension of negotiations is certainly one alternative, and I expect that the Serbian government will take this message very seriously. Serbia has to chose now between its nationalist past and a European future.

Some may say that beer and ice cream don't go together, but we think the combination of deep, dark chocolate and the creamy stout flavor is the perfect marriage of tastes. The challenge was finding an extract that would deliver on the taste of stout. We searched far and wide and found the perfect ingredient that meets the authentic flavor of a European stout beer.

Thatcher knew nothing of the European customs and cultures with which we were allied,

My neighborhood now is all 21-year-old European supermodels. I go to the international newsstand on the corner, and they're all looking for their pictures in 'Italian Vogue.'

Name some European companies and chances are average U.S. citizens have heard of a lot of them, which provides an immediate comfort level based on name recognition.

My parents were huge fans of westerns, European cinema, and horror in particular. They wouldn't just show me kids' films.

My parents were European immigrants. They came to the States with $1,500, two suitcases, and me, and they managed to build a business, a family, and a future for their family. They didn't have any of the resources of people who have lived here for two or three generations.

My idea of a European trip is driving to Broad Ripple (High School) or Ben Davis. I've had to find my own niche.

Many handset manufacturers bet against it, notably Samsung and LG. Now, many of the U.S.-based and European wireless carriers are behind it. They're building hybrid networks, using 3G networks in urban areas and using Edge in rural areas.

Many European issues await urgent decisions. I am convinced that the next (German) government will throw its full weight so as to contribute to their progress,

Many European guys go to the N.H.L. at a young age, even without knowing English. But they quickly adapt to new conditions, another game, a new country. They are also young, receptive, can move mountains.

London has changed since Pup started Annabel's, ... It was all terribly English, but now London is multicultural and we have tried to reflect that. Every six weeks we have a concert. We tend to have African musicians and that's brought in a more European crowd. We don't actually want it to become a celebrity haunt, though. There were all these stories that Jude and Sienna used to come here, but I don't think they ever have.

Markets in Europe moved down after a turnaround in the U.S. markets. The good news was that the Bank of England cut interest rates at the same time other European bourses and the Bank of Japan joined in.

Liverpool won the European Cup and they should have the right to defend their trophy. The champions should be involved but I think they should have to qualify like Brazil have to qualify for next year's World Cup.

Liverpool without European football is like a banquet without wine.

I wish you every success in your new responsibilities, in which you can always count on the full support of the European Union.

I still have five years to the end of my term. There are many candidates. There'll be a problem if it's supposed to be a European or someone from the emerging countries, the so-called BRICS. This will be decided, but please don't think Poland has anything to say about it.

I think people understand that these are training matches and that in the USA we fielded a domestic league team. It is in the autumn European qualifier that people will judge me.

I think music is so diverse today, and bands are so diverse. If you were a rock band in the Eighties, you kind of had to stick to one thing. Now, in this age of Coachella and European festivals and stuff, it's kind of anything goes, so that allowed us to try different things.

I think of LA as my American urban experience, London as my European urban experience, and Santa Fe as my country escape.

It doesn't matter who'll be the first. The important thing is that European Union member countries give timely support to the Southeast's European goals so as to prevent the forces from the past from having room to act.

I think he cannot play against CSKA Sofia but I hope he will be fit for CSKA Moscow (in the European Super Cup on Friday).

I think it would be a tremendous career move for me. It's always been my ambition to try and play for one of the big European clubs, and PSV are very successful and are playing in the Champions League.

It is even more surprising when the Ukrainian foreign minister gathers Western European ambassadors and tells them that the result of the talks was a fiasco for Russia.

M&A certainly is a key driver (for European markets) because you've got balance sheets that are in a very healthy condition, (and) cash on the books.

I'm happy because I know that there is a full understanding on all levels about this question and that, before everything, the case of Ratko Mladic has to be closed in the shortest possible time and in the best interests of Serbia-Montenegro and its European path,

I'm in absolutely no doubt that the benefits will follow from this enlargement and bring a strong secular state which happens to have a Muslim majority into the European Union,

We need a new partnership with Russia. We are interdependent. If we need a flow of energy from Russia, namely gas, I believe that it is also in the interest of Russia to have a stable market and a stable relationship with such an important customer as the European Union.

The aim of these national surveillance programs is to provide early detection of cases of avian influenza, particularly in wild birds and poultry in the European Union.

The Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania are designed to counter long-range ballistic missiles that may be launched from other nations, outside of the Euro-Atlantic area, against our European NATO partners.

The American side deliberately distorts facts related to a visit to Minsk by U.S. and EU representatives. We proceed from the assumption that Belarus and the United States have relations of their own, determined by a whole set of different factors. That's why we suggested separate visits. We hope our American and European partners will demonstrate in deed and not in word their constructive attitude towards cooperation with Belarus.

The Americans and the European Union are dreaming if they think they can force us to change our positions.

The American and European positions have got to move. It is about making new proposals on agriculture.

That was not a desperate choice. He's been adapting to the pace of our game ever since we started the preseason campaign, and he has developed physically as well. Tonight we thought it time to hand him his full debut on the European stage.

That was not a desperate choice, ... He's been adapting to the pace of our game ever since we started the preseason campaign, and he has developed physically as well. Tonight we thought it time to hand him his full debut on the European stage.

I would like to express very clearly that the European Union people do respect the countries of this part of the world and don't want to offend anybody.

I would like to welcome the vote reached today in the European Parliament. I know that this has been the subject of a lively and vigorous debate.

I would like to thank the Western diplomats, especially Mr Solana and Mr Robertson, because their contribution truly benefits humanity and us Albanians as well because we are part of the great European family.

Most of them are free standing houses, ... although there are some more typically European row houses. There are some apartments and lofts, but for the most part it's the house.

Most of the largest Continental European companies now have thirty percent or more non-domestic shareholders. This gives them a very different structure in terms of accountability than most boards are used to.

Most of the European money now is off TV, and they're having a hard time now with anything that pushes the envelope.

Most of our businesses performed exceptionally well in spite of higher raw material costs and weak European currencies, with 11 of 18 strategic business units delivering double digit earnings growth,

Most of our breads have a thicker crust, a harder crust, in the European style,

Most ironic is that Europe counts in Ethiopia, a country which depends on European aid, the largest recipient in Africa. Europe could definitely make the difference for democracy in Ethiopia. Instead, current European leaders are choosing to fail it. In doing so, they are not just failing Ethiopians. They are also failing Europe.

Most heartfelt, I thank my typewriter. My typewriter is a Hermes 3000, surely one of the noblest instruments of European genius.

Most of (Chevron's) earnings miss was in the upstream and was caused by weak U.S. oil and gas volumes (hurricanes, declines) plus lower than expected U.S. gas realizations, as well as weak European gas volumes.

Mexico is the second most important destination of U.S. exports. What does this mean? The U.S. sells to our country almost the same as it sells to all the European Union, five times what it sells Brazil. More than what it sells together to Brazil, Russia, China, and India.

Member states cannot intervene on competition grounds on mergers of European dimension.

Members of the BFTA along with members of the European Fur Federation do not handle or offer for sale domestic cat and dog skins.

will consult with our European friends and evaluate whether what we are doing is sufficient. I can't answer your questions about decisions that haven't been made, but this is something we are actively reviewing.

While the domestics are still spending far more proportionally, the numbers are not as far off as they had been. Our January sales forecast predicted that domestic automakers earned approximately 54 percent market share of new vehicle sales, and that Japanese, European and Korean automakers would earn 35 percent, 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively.

Who is going to gain market share in future? When we polled those in the industry 70 percent of respondents said Asian manufacturers, and 51 percent said European would gain. Only 20 percent said North American manufacturers would gain,

We have one of the strongest squads in Europe and there is no reason why this club cannot finish the season as European champions.

We haven't taken any decision yet, but there's a possibility that we may expand into other eastern European locations like Poland or the Czech Republic.

You can buy European football if you want.

You can always tell a Midwestern couple in Europe because they will be standing in the middle of a busy intersection looking at a wind-blown map and arguing over which way is west. European cities, with their wandering streets and undisciplined alleys, drive Midwesterners practically insane.

Will there be a version that is specific for the European union? Yes, there has to be.

Whoever comes in as England manager it is up to him to pick the new captain, but at the end of the day I'm not going to give it up easily. There are the European championships to come and then maybe another World Cup.

Whilst the immediate impact on European energy prices has been negligible, the dispute has served to emphasize the dependence of Western Europe on Russian gas supplies and the issue has the potential to keep European gas consumers on edge for some time.

We continue to maintain a bullish stance towards European stocks for 2006. The combination of still low valuations and the prospects that earnings will continue to grow suggests a continued positive stance.

We continue to have serious concerns about the lack of access to important documents in this case. Our repeated requests to the European Commission for full and fair file access have not been successful, so we are now turning to the U.S. courts for assistance.

We continue to argue with our European colleagues about the importance of fairness when it comes to compensation and transitional regimes for sugar and for bananas and for other commodities . . . .

We'll be pleasantly surprised by Japan, we'll be pleasantly surprised by European data, so in a global equity portfolio, stay fully invested.

When I took on the title sponsorship of the Western European League and the World Cup Final in October 2010, I did it because I love the sport and I love horses. It has proved to be a perfect match for the Reem Acra brand.

We are beginning to cut the UK's working hours, but there is still a long way to go before the UK gets anywhere near the European average.

We hope that through the collective decision of our European friends -- with whom we have exchanged views over the past two weeks -- we will witness in Vienna the adoption of a proper decision and a logical and principled approach.

We do it European style, so you have to jump hay bales or wood logs.

We do hope the agreement will ensure ... the long-term security of supply of gas to the European Union.

While any decline is encouraging, we remain concerned because too many people continue to act out their anti-Jewish hatred. We have always said that America is different, that the Jewish communities here are fortunate to be largely immune from the kind of anti-Semitic violence experienced by some European Jewish communities. The numbers remain sobering because we know from painful experience that it only takes one incident of anti-Semitism to affect an entire community.

While announcing readiness and recommending the European friends to have a more careful and better understanding of present conditions, we say that we are conducting research for research itself and not for production of nuclear fuel.

We expect a merger to go through an extended review process, particularly in light of the recent Dubai ports hullabaloo. We feel that the committee will be thorough in its review process, but we expect eventual approval by both the U.S. and European authorities.

We have some very positive points at Alcatel, such as in fast Internet access and optical gear, ... I keep hearing that the European market is going to slow down in telecom and the like and, frankly, I don't believe it.

We have some extra numbers in positions where we can afford the opportunity to look at some of the European players in this game and rest some of the domestic players. An example of that would be Eddie Pope and Jim Conrad. Based on play over the past month and a half, they would be included in this roster if we were simply basing it on performances. But we have guys we need to look at now.

We are trying to define a European position, not a bilateral position.

We played the European champions today, and we should have won that game. But there's a lot of encouragement to be taken, especially the lineout contesting, which was excellent. Nick Kennedy was superb.

We must understand that we are at the beginning of the creation of a new European economy in the context of a rapidly changing global economy. The stagnation in some of the central economies isn't the really interesting story at the moment -- the interesting story is the success of the radical reform policies initiated by Estonia a decade ago and recently reinvigorated by Slovakia. Over time, the success of these reforms, and the new growth opportunities they are creating, will influence all the other European economies.

We believe this new tariff meets all the requirements on the WTO and the Latin Americans, and will restore their access to the European market,

We believe there is enormous potential for entrepreneurial Internet ventures in key European markets.

We had never before seen a place where European influence had not contributed to smooth and soften the rough features of uncultivated nature. The prospect of Rangoon, as we approached, was quite disheartening.

We had met. I had met Shimon Peres in Cairo, in Lisbon before that, before that my colleagues met him in Athens with the participation of the European Union's Javier Solana and we have no objection to meeting him at any time.

We have a large selection of European and handmade papers.

You are a European country and you should have a European future.

We will act decisively to remedy the serious malfunctions identified on the energy market in order to uphold the interests of European consumers and industry and to help Europe become more competitive.

We've got the European Championships coming up next year and the game is all about getting ready for them.

We've gotten into the point of sale and are present directly in shops. We've gotten more involvement from European banks and that already has been a measure of success.

We have called a meeting for the coming days of the most important anti-terrorist services from the European Union who will meet here in Madrid,

We have been waiting for European recovery, and it's been slow in coming. I think it is coming, and I think that the merger and acquisition activity in Europe is going to drive corporate profits higher. So I think there are some real opportunities in Europe.

We have been very grateful of the support from Spain and the European Union but we also feel we have to do our homework ourselves and not only trust our friends but also trust ourselves.

We have to live together and make the best of it. They should eventually be permitted to join the European Union. A Europeanized Turkey is in everybody's interest.

Valuations still remain high in the European technology sector. I see about 10-15 percent further downside in the sector before prices begin to get interesting again.

Valuations in European equity markets are looking stretched.

With the European Central Bank joining the global trend for tighter monetary policy, the backdrop for equity markets is becoming more challenging.

We have already taken all steps necessary. Once it has touched European soil, then we have raised all the measures we should take,
