E. Helm Quotations

We're playing in a tournament where somebody's going to the national tournament. It's that simple. And we'll compete.

Madam Ambassador, it's been a joy to work with you while you were at the United Nations.

Sean probably won't practice for two days. We're going to try to nurse him and get him ready to go for Thursday. We felt this was important to try to go with him, and he fought. When he went out of the game, we couldn't get a four man to try to run our offense. And if you don't run your offense, you're not going to beat a team as good as Midland.

Mom, I just couldn't think of a better way to spend your birthday. Sorry I'm not with you, though.

One of the things we don't need to overlook is they won the conference championship last year. That (performance against Midland College) doesn't necessarily need to be that big of a surprise.

One of the things that makes America so great is that anyone can run for public office, and it's up to the voters to decide who will best serve them. I wish Mr. Weld well.

My father-in-law had an anvil and he gave it to me. I noticed it had a name on it. I thought that was interesting, so I tried to get all the different kinds I could.

Obviously I have a vested interest in what's going on up here, and I can't be happier than how things have gone. The repair work has been very smooth and very quick and we are ready to come back.

I wouldn't say this was our best defensive effort. But the press still was effective, particularly in the second quarter. I thought they started getting frustrated with it. They started passing it out of bounds a lot.

I wish I could answer that. That thing is in the House and the Senate. In the House, it's dead. In the Senate, they worry me. There are some weird people over there.

I don't believe we've seen anything like this before.

I can imagine no better qualified person to serve as the first U.S. secretary of state in the 21st century,

Certainly, before anybody jumps on the president for this six-month suspension, it would be wise to consider the other salutary initiatives that the president is putting into force. The president is, in fact, taking a very tough line which is certain to make Fidel Castro squirm,

Because of the development cycles, it has become less and less attractive for enterprise customers to buy a contract where you are effectively pre-paying for the next version.

I hate when players say it's tough to pinch-hit. That's (crap). You got to prepare your mind to come off the bench. That's you're job.

If both sides will sit down and be realistic about it, there's a very good chance that there could be a treaty.

From an offensive standpoint, (Hall and Gates) really helped us off the bench.

I don't think we're quite ready yet. As of Friday afternoon, we were not. But we're right close to it,

I don't want to attack him, but there are too many things that are too worrying for me in his background and I suspect there are a lot of senators that feel that way.

Giving permanent normal trade relations to the government of China will destroy an important lever that we now have and we have had to influence Chinese behavior, ... We are tossing it aside.

I got a call and came from Myrtle Beach. I drove an eleven-hour trip in nine hours, but it was still too slow.

He worked so hard so I wouldn't have to set foot in a coal mine.

He has his good days and his bad days. He still sees friends. Company is good for him. He is still signing books. But he is not able to conduct any business or make any speeches.

He is his same self in a lot of ways. He just doesn't always remember.

He goes to the office everyday and sees his friends and has lunch and shoots the bull, ... I think he is doing well. He will be 84 next month. I don't know many people that age who don't have problems.

He seems to recognize people. His manners are always intact. He is very gracious when people come to see him. He is his same self in a lot of ways. He just doesn't always remember.

We must have a full debate and votes on issues such as China's pitiful human rights record, China's brutal suppression of religious freedom, China's increasingly belligerent stance toward the Democratic Chinese government on Taiwan and China's unbroken record of violated agreements one after another on other matters. You can't trust them,

He wanted better for myself and my sister. He didn't want me to have to endure the strenuous work.

Joe Biden and I consulted in my office Wednesday night past, for about four and a half hours and we covered 21 differences and resolved them.

I think it's a good decision. They can't afford to cut any more features to make a 2006 date. The features that need the most testing, frankly, are enterprise features related to the core of the product, like user account control and how it will lock down services to make them less vulnerable to a worm. Things like that fundamentally change the way Windows works, and they couldn't really back out of them.

I think the citizens of this city are nervous about overdevelopment, ... We want development, yes, but we don't want it all in downtown in one area.

I will never support the lifting of the Glenn Amendment's sanctions on India unless they abandon all nuclear ambitions,

People are looking at everything from coal to uranium to oil and natural gas. When you include wind and ethanol, things look even better.

Terrorists around the world will realize that America's differences end at the water's edge, and that the United States' political leadership always has, and always will stand united in the face of international terrorism,

My objection to William Weld wasn't based on the way he conducted himself as governor or even how he would conduct himself as an ambassador in a place other than Mexico. India was where I wanted to send him,

I was happy with the win. We're just happy we're in Lubbock.

It depends on whether this is just a temporary lull. If it's a temporary lull, we'll have to leave the people there for a while, ... But if it's for real, then we ought to make plans to bring those folks home.

John Roberts and I worked on a response to that letter

It is bitterly ironic that the Clinton administration is rushing to send Elian Gonzalez back to a country that has just been singled out by the U.N. for its systematic violation of human rights.

It is even worse than a critical flaw.

Most of the marsh where that salt water sat for a long time looks dead. It looks like it is does extremely late in the winter and you've had several extreme frosts. Where we found birds, they seemed to be concentrated in the habitat that was not impacted by the storm.

Microsoft is going to feel the pain: over 80 percent of desktop Windows are through sales of new PCs.

Microsoft's server and tools unit has proved they can take something like Web 2.0 and make it easier to program for. It has a very viable business model there.

Microsoft's engineers have been griping about too much bureaucracy, and this reorganization runs counter to it. It is bound to cause some discussion among employees as you are essentially putting a business manager on top of a very technical group.

Microsoft sees software as a service as a part-answer to the maturing software market.

will be based on the truth and not the deliberate inaccuracies those who disagreed with me took such delight in repeating.

We just are not really able, at our current staffing and current (oil) activity levels, to keep up with reclaiming the land and getting it back into productive use.

You'll never be an outsider. You'll always be a friend here,

Windows Vista is on the final approach. Microsoft needed to take some early steps to start thinking about the next version.

Windows Live is the next generation of MSN.

Windows is Microsoft's biggest business unit, and Vista is it's biggest challenge. Frankly, I think it's going to be very difficult for Microsoft to make its case to corporations.

We have a lot of reason to hope that these were transient problems and we can proceed normally.

We need to face up to the fact that the nation's freedom has been put in danger by the very people who claim to uphold it, with their claim that freedom of speech gives them license to say anything - or do anything - because they are simply being 'informative,'

The press was effective, as normal, and I thought we were very unselfish. We moved the ball well.

We anticipated that this was going to happen because we felt he was good coming in here and we knew he would get better. That's exactly what happened. We're happy that our program benefited him. We know we need to go get somebody else good to replace him.

We are in real good shape to support putting off robotics until tomorrow. We could see that was coming.

When you're standing close and there's a fresh deer in it, you can smell it. But it doesn't take long for the smell to go away.

The rate of increase in Durham County has not been so strong as to cause any concern on my part about oversupply.

We came back just over a week ago and we're adjusting very well. It's been a very surprising experience to have returned to Earth and have such quick adjustment.

We don't need to worry about the Indian nuclear tests if India has agreed not to have these weapons in the first place,

This represents an amount of oil that we're confident is going to be taken out of the ground.

There have been real attacks; this is not theoretical. All you have to do is go to an evil Web site or click on a link in an e-mail and some hacker dude owns your computer.

There has to be a few widely accepted cards -- kind of the Visa and MasterCard of the identity world -- and it's not clear that anyone wants that job.

This treaty will do nothing -- will do nothing -- to reduce the dangers of poison gas.

to sacrifice Taiwan's security in order to appease the dictators in Beijing.

While I think (new-home sales) will continue to grow, I don't think it can maintain the pace it had in 2005.

Both teams played pretty good defense, but Midland ran their offense better than we ran ours. We're not going to beat a good team and Midland is a good team if we don't run our offense and execute.

to discuss a history of countless failed nominations in the past 10 years which were denied hearings by the chairman or the ranking member.

We've got a lot of excited people up here.

We weren't ready tonight, but we were able to rise up when we needed to.

What the American people are witnessing is a successful cover-up of serious ethical wrongdoing, ... a sight to behold.

We feel like it isn't really our money, ... We're just stewards.

This one is particularly nasty because is allows people to take control of your computer from over the internet.

Bill Clinton does not understand that, ... He thinks he's the king. And he makes decisions that he expects you to follow, and I'm not going to follow a lot of things that he did.

Every dollar these countries spend on American farm products is a dollar they cannot spend on terror and repression,

At 37 percent new homes, this is a very strong new home market.

Farewell Fidel, that's the message of this bill,

There should be a televised debate between the two of us. What do you say, Rick?

I see no short-term change in that situation. Durham has a great supply of relatively inexpensive homes.

I've been back there a lot in the last couple of days and I honestly have not noticed a problem. Yuri and I have been busy working hard and we never stopped and even noticed that our environment was in any way disturbing us.

It would have been a very tight squeeze. If they were going to miss Christmas, there just wasn't a good reason to push it for 2006.

The Windows Client division has to tell corporate customers why they want Windows Vista, and why they shouldn't wait until they buy new hardware.

As for Mr. Milosevic's future, I don't care one way or the other if he lives out his days in sunny Cyprus or if he will agree to step aside and make way for democracy in Serbia, the important thing is that he be removed from power, whether voluntarily or not, and now,

That's why we're losing. There's a black cat behind the dugout.

You're dealing with a reservoir that extends over hundreds, perhaps thousands, of square miles. It's just a matter of figuring out the technology to extract that.

This is a sentimental time, ... It's the end of it. I have thoroughly enjoyed my life in the public view.

This is a moment of truth for Pakistan as a nation,

They said that (amphetamines were) in baseball, and as far as how much, we'll never know. They wanted everything out of baseball, and that's the way it is right now. It's definitely a clean sport, and everybody's who's on the field this year is clean, no matter who it is.

They're very good, and they don't do a lot of spectacular things. They just do solid things.

They needed a very senior engineer who could knock heads together when disputes arose and had backing from senior management. Steve is really tailor-made for the job.

There was no apology. There was no nothing. It was immediately out the door.

There were political problems and technical problems. The two divisions have different business incentives, and the company, knowingly or unknowingly, set up a situation where their business incentives were not the same as their technology incentives.

Its engineers have not necessarily proven that they can ship software on time. Maybe Microsoft needs less heroic engineering and more of a business focus.

It looks like if we keep treating Sean, his injury is going to be behind us and we're going to fine with that.

It makes me happy to see that they're having success, that somebody's going to pay for their education and let them continue playing basketball. I feel both of them are ready to help the programs that they're going to get better.

It's an important game for us. We lost a road game and we've got a home game against a team that's certainly a playoff contender. We make them one step closer to (the Region V Tournament in) Lubbock if they win.

It's good that we have the balance, but it would be good if somebody stepped up put us on their shoulders and carried us. We don't have that, so we're going to have to depend on the balance.

That's pretty extreme upward pressure on resale prices in Wake County, which puts Durham County in a situation where it's presenting an exceptional value to the buyer in that more moderate price range. There's a lack of supply in Wake County that's being fulfilled in Durham County.

The biggest changes are the kids and the resources they have. They use the scientific method better than I've ever seen it used before.

They brought up some special food items like pork chops and chocolate that we definitely appreciated.
