Charles Quotations | Page 2

He even played for them. I was interested in him from when I was young so it was very exciting. Charles Dickens was also born there.

He may be that special type of player. I don't want to put him in the Charles Barkley class. But with Barkley, length wasn't a factor. Heart and desire and long arms and good hands can overcome that. Put that together with an ability to make an outside shot, and you've got a nice player.

We the undersigned Liberians, Nigerians, Sierra Leoneans, other Africans and international organizations are calling on President Obasanjo to immediately end his government's persecution of human rights campaigners, reassure Liberians and all Africans that Charles Taylor will not, shall not and cannot be allowed to subvert the collective will of ECOWAS, African Union and the World Community,

We thought we were quicker than they were and I thought we could wear them down. Defensively, we just had five kids coming at them the whole time. Offensively, Darrell is instant offense, L.J. stepped up tonight and I thought Charles Miller was outstanding.

God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in his eye forever. If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them.

He's been a great friend to the St. Charles Singers.

He used to be bigger. It's kind of like Charles Barkley. If you can play with it, don't mess with it.

Has anybody seen my Mopser? - / A comely dog is he, / With hair the colour of a Charles the Fifth, / And teeth like ships at sea.

I was involved in the students' union and I had a meeting in London, chaired by the president of the students' union Charles Clarke (now Home Secretary). Howard had no plans for the weekend, so we hatched this plot whereby I took the money for the train fare, but, instead of getting the train, he could borrow a car off a friend, the train fare would pay for petrol and we could stop at his friend Richard's house in Reading,

Keith Jarrett did the first festival when he was part of the Charles Lloyd quartet, ... Then he came back 15 years ago. This year he is doing only four concerts worldwide, and we are very proud that he picked out Montreux as one of the dates.

Just looking at the guy walking around, I thought his potential was limitless if he learned a few things. As they say, even Ray Charles could have seen it.

John Bowler is a player of the year candidate. He's that good. I don't know if he's going to win it, but he's one of the top five players in our league, and Charles has them playing hard.

I suspect that they will think about doing both. For us, with Boomer (Herndon), they put Hollins behind him and Boomer couldn't score through him at all. But Davis, to me, is a combination of Shaquille (O'Neal), with his size, and a guy like Charles Barkley with his mobility. He would more likely be able to do that.

It certainly didn't look like there was any mass movement out of Houston to Lake Charles to vote.

I think the prime minister should bring forward his reshuffle and make these arrangements and say goodbye to Charles Clarke.

I think the fact that Brett committed to another year, that was one thing Charles was interested in. Another point is that they agreed to let Charles play offense as well as defense. That proved to be very beneficial to them. They wouldn't let him do that in Oakland.

Lady Diana Spencer looked to relatively unknown designers - David and Elizabeth Emanuel, recently graduated from the Royal College of Art - when she wed Prince Charles in 1981.

I thought our kids came out the second half and played at that other energy level. We made a lot of plays for Charles Rhodes.

I think as she gets older ... she will hand more and more responsibility towards Prince Charles and her other children. But she will continue to reign as monarch until she dies.

I think it speaks to the greatness of the man that he truly gave me the gift of allowing me to tell the story warts and all, ... To be able to see the good, the bad, the light, the dark. And Ray Charles had a substantial dark side.

I think St. Charles always excelled at restaurants. Geneva always was strong in retail, but it lacked a little for restaurants.

Just having that makes everybody else around you a lot better. So I'm looking forward to that. We haven't had that in a while. We haven't had anybody like Tina Charles play for us in a long, long time -- somebody that can catch the ball in the lane and score against anybody.

Koch Industries' tremendous growth and success has been realized as a result of strong leadership and commitment from Charles Koch, Joe Moeller and many others who have contributed during the past 65 years. I am humbled by the confidence placed in me. With the help and advice of the many talented and experienced leaders within Koch companies, I hope to help continue the company's success into the future.

I remember working with Ray Charles when I was quite young, and I would wonder, 'Why would he sing 'Georgia On My Mind' and 'I Can't Stop Loving You' every night?' I said, 'Oh my God if I have to sing these songs, if I have to sing 'I Can't Stop Loving You' one more night, I'm going to fall out.' Of course, I was young and I didn't understand.

People are dying in wars, and I get an opportunity to play for my country. It's not that hard of a decision. You see Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson and all those guys stand on a podium. I have the chance to do that.

Our team is coming along, ... We're playing with a sense of urgency. But we're playing the game like it is supposed to be played. We held Charles Henderson to 10 yards in the second half. That's pretty good.

Our biggest area (St. Charles Precinct 24), one area that has shown traditional support ... went without the ability to vote for two hours.

Our 5-0 was the silver bracket at (the St. Charles Classic on March 25). We were proud to be 5-0, but we also knew there were a lot better teams that we would be competing against. We knew we were going to be us against some better competition.

'River of Light,' to a dense but powerful score commissioned from Charles Wuorinen and with ravishing lighting by Mark Stanley, has depth and resonance.

Rita's impact appears less than initially feared. Gaming assets in Lake Charles were damaged but it appears as if full rebuilding may not be necessary. While the city of Lake Charles sustained some significant damage and it will likely be some time before business comes back, our initial read is that the community is far less devastated than New Orleans.

Paris Charles has truly been an asset to this administration, bringing vast knowledge acquired through 28 years in the mining industry and a sincere personal commitment to mine safety.

(St. Charles North) had a terrific recipe for a comeback. They were in the bonus, we were fouling them and they were making their free throws. We knew they weren't going to go away, so to their credit, they came back like a house of fire.

St. Charles County has been one of the fastest-growing counties not just in the state, but in the country.

Stephen King consummately honors several traditions with his rare paperback original, 'Joyland.' He addresses the novel of carny life and sideshows, where the midway serves as microcosm, such as in those famous books by Ray Bradbury, Charles Finney and William Lindsay Gresham.

My view is that heads should roll. There are too many people in the system who simply don't care. I fully support Charles Clarke in getting to the bottom of this.

Listen to any cantor, any good hazan, sing and you can hear a little bit of Ray Charles going on.

I think Prince Charles made it quite clear that he felt that he was brought up in an unemotional dysfunction state,

I think Charles Woodson can do whatever he wants if his mind is right. It's according to what he wants to do.

I think Charles Barkley kick-started us. I heard at halftime he said the game was over. I'd like to thank Charles for kick-starting us.

I think Mugabe should just be banished, like what happened to Charles Taylor. He should just be banished from Zimbabwe,

I think in a certain system he can play corner. It's just a matter of in his mind does he want to play corner. He can play both, but I don't know what he wants to play. I still think he can do that (bump and run). I think Charles Woodson can do whatever he wants if his mind is right. It's according to what he wants to do.

It definitely helps us. Prince Charles is not popular at all. There's definitely a problem with him, and we'll take advantage of that.

I think this was the best meeting of the day. ... We had a great turnout and got some great ideas. It shows Charles City's commitment to the site, to Oliver's history and to doing great things for Charles City.

That was an incredible shot by Mitchell. He stepped up and hit it with Charles Thomas' hand in his face. That was an incredible shot.

That's the two guys he let pass him in the last race. Charles has really been working on his finish, I've been preaching that to him. It's how do you finish your race.

I wasn't happy with the last four minutes of the game (for us). Give St. Charles North credit. They did a terrific job of putting their heads down and getting to the basket. We need to do a better job of taking away dribble drive penetration.

Most of the people know about the man who introduced football to Brazil, although I didn't know he was born in Sao Paulo. I've watched some old videos of Charles Miller in Brazil. He loved British football and I think he created a very good mixture of British football and Brazilian football.

Whether Charles Taylor is going to appear before us or not depends on the evidence we are going to get in the various cases. He is a Liberian and if we have a case where he is needed to appear before us, he will have to do so.

Well, if you hang around Charles Barkley a lot, you realize that it just may not be his hobby of choice.

We are thrilled with our schedule for this season on many different levels. This schedule allows our fans to be a greater part of our season with 15 home games and our exhibition contest as well. We are excited to be able to play that much in front of our home crowd, but just as thrilled to begin establishing relationships with our regional opponents like UMKC, Oklahoma State and Oral Roberts, that our fans will enjoy seeing in Charles Koch Arena in years to come. Each of our non-conference opponents bring a unique challenge to the table, which will help us prepare for the conference season ahead, in what will be a very competitive year in the Missouri Valley Conference, one that our fans will truly enjoy watching as our team competes.

We have a good group and we have great chemistry. We understand for our offense to be good everybody has to contribute. If one guy is making all the plays we're not getting it done as a group. And we understand that. One game Roy is going to have a big one. Another game I'm going to have a big one and Charles is going to have a big one. When we break the huddle you never know where that ball's going.

We're working on Charles and hoping to get something done. Things are picking up.

Voters quite like Charles Kennedy, but there is a question mark over whether he's someone they can see sitting in 10 Downing Street deciding the future of our country. There's quite a big step up for the Liberal Democrats to take if they are to be taken seriously as a potential party of government.

We'll run two or three simulations at the same time, but we have difficulty shifting output around -- the files that come out are huge. Let's say you want to get them over to someone in Lafayette or Lake Charles and have them do an analysis while we do something else.

You know we're going to throw the ball, but coach 'Hawk' wants to get a guy ready who can run it 20-25 times (a game). It's my responsibility to get Charles and Ellis ready and find a No. 3. Hugh wore down at the end of last season, Byron had shoulder problems and we didn't have a No. 3.

We came out with a lot of energy in the third quarter and got a lot of buckets off our defense. J.B. and James had big quarters, but we got some great defensive play from guys like Charles Davidson and Paul Collamer. We forced a lot of turnovers in that quarter.

The Queen Mother always urged Charles to put duty first,

We are in contact with the government of Nigeria to determine his whereabouts. We have made it clear to the government of Nigeria that it has a special responsibility to make sure that Charles Taylor is brought to justice.

Though there have been several attempts to launch and relaunch Charles and they're still going on as we speak, they've all been by amateurs.

When I got a call earlier this morning, I was completely astounded. The fact that it is happening, and that it is happening that quickly is the surprising element here. Charles has always had a strong affection for her. He did love Diana but perhaps in a different way than he loved Camilla. It wasn't such an enduring love.

We still feel he has the potential to be productive as a big-league player. He didn't have a great offensive-type start to the year. After that long 0-for start, he put a lot of pressure on himself. It wasn't fair to Charles to expect him to find the magic and turn it around without playing on a more regular basis.

Was it Charles Dickens who said it was the best of times and the worst of times? That's how I feel. Either they're real good, or they're real bad. There's no in-between. We can't seem to settle on our fourth and fifth men, either. We've tried a lot of different combinations, and we're just not settling on a fourth or fifth man who can shoot a consistent score.

The properties being contemplated are the gas station on the corner, the surplus property being used for Able Construction and the property formerly owned by Charles Jackson. Basically, everything to the left of Balsam.

Tina Charles is obviously their main player and we tried to slow her down, but really, other players stepped up in the game and hit big shots.

Tina Charles is a perfect example of everything that is right in girl's high school athletics. Not only does she light up the scoreboard, but she is a wonderful student who has earned several academic honors. She is a role model for young women and she represents what it means to be a McDonald's All American.

Westerns were all daddy liked to watch. Give me some Clint Eastwood, some Charles Bronson, and I was a happy girl. It was our father-daughter bonding.

We offered Charles the Cherry Brandy but he said he'd better not have that and tried the Apricot Brandy instead.

We asked Charles to be the anchor in the middle for our team. He is a tenacious and aggressive defender and he would deny his opponent in the middle and also has great defensive skills.

We congratulate Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles and we wish them all future happiness.

When people talk about being a writer, the first words that come to mind are glamour and artistic parties like Charles Dickens used to mix cocktails for.

When my husband Charles passed away in 2000, I took over as chair of our family's foundation. As I was mourning his loss, I also had to keep the foundation moving forward and to chart a course into what was then a very male-dominated philanthropic world.

We would not have been put in this position if it had not been for the actions of Charles Sawyer.

When Christopher and Charles passed away, I was completely depressed, I felt rejected and real down, and so Roscoe invited me because he had this spirit of compassion, and we had gone to school together, were friends and everything.

When Charles Dickens wrote "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," I believe he must have been having an affair with his married ex-boyfriend.

When Charles Dickens arrived in Boston Harbor, where he started, they had to keep it secret because there was such a mob of people expecting him, and they actually chased down his carriage at the hotel, the Parker House Hotel.

We thought of her with Barbra Streisand, Barbara Boxer, Rob Reiner, Charles Schumer, even. Now I see her on a drift to the center.

We thought Charles gave us the best opportunity to run the ball, and that's what we went with.

Thomas Smith Woewiyu and his boss, Charles Taylor, are very busy trying to get somebody elected who will then welcome them into Government to complete their looting agenda.

With the Charles Schumer bill possibly being voted on by the end of this month, now may be a good time to allow greater flexibility.

There have been 40-something (U.S.) presidents overall, and they've all had different ways of doing the job. Me, Will and Charles are the same way. There's no such thing as a prototypical defensive end. There doesn't have to be.

'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past. One was the sad suicide of my young nephew, a troubled kid, who was found at the bottom of a landmark cliff in central California. The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than, ahem, Charles Manson!

But (Prince) Charles is leaving for India next week so she had to get back.

We're thrilled. To have Charles Schwab take the bold step of being one of our original dual-listed companies and to evaluate both markets on their merits and choose to list solely on Nasdaq is a major validation of the Nasdaq market model.

We need to have Charles Taylor turned over to us and put into a detention cell where he will receive a fair and open trial, ... He is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The gorgeous music of Charles Gounod allows the audience to feel the drama more deeply.

Today we salute Charles and wish him well and look forward to him returning to the front line.

We've had the pleasure of being part of the growth of the greater St. Louis and St. Charles counties over the last 20 years. The power of the Prudential name and brand, and the reputation it upholds, is what led us to our affiliation. Along with the brand, we found a wealth of resources in marketing, technology and personnel recruitment, all of which have added immense value to our operations.

To me, a book is a book. A novel is a novel, and you have hundreds of possibilities, options, and they may all be fine. Charles Dickens or Ingeborg Bachmann, Claude Simon or later writers. The one and only condition is that it has to be good: it has to have quality, substance, atmosphere.

The reason that he got a sitting with Washington was that his father was Charles Wilson Peale, a very prominent American artist, a friend of the revolution. On the morning of the sitting, he (Rembrandt) was so frightened about confronting the great man, that he said he could barely mix his colors. And so his father had to come along to hold his hand, so to speak.

Two actors who have different motivations and skill sets can work together and be magic. Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro technically couldn't work more differently, and yet they made 'Midnight Run,' which is a genius comedy.

We got a call Friday from a woman who has extensive family ties in Canada, and we sent out five visitor guides to her family in Canada. They will be coming to St. Charles in the summer.

We had a goal of a half-million dollars that second year and as the thing kind of blew up and we realized we were close to a million, it was the seventh or eighth inning and (Red Sox vice president of public affairs) Charles Steinberg called us and said they're donating the last $25,000. The feeling was incredible.

With his excitement, energy and enthusiasm, Charles is a good spark for us.

We just want to finish the season strong. St. Charles is having one of their best years in a while. They've got some good guards and they've got a good big guy in (6-4 junior Bryan) Wickliffe.

To be honest with you, amongst ourselves, we don't talk about the GPA. That's the coach's thing, and you don't pry into someone else's business. But I know some of the younger guys who've struggled a little bit, and Charles is the example we use for them.

We are striving, as much as we possibly can, to assist young drivers in advancing to the next level. They are the future of Champ Car racing, and Charles certainly falls into that category.

We are very excited to begin our season. Practice has been going very well so far and I think our team is beginning to jell. We are looking forward to racing some very good schools. The Head of the Oklahoma Centennial Regatta is a good early season test for us and will help prepare us for the Head of the Charles later this month.

We are very excited to begin our season, ... Practice has been going very well so far and I think our team is beginning to jell. We are looking forward to racing some very good schools. The Head of the Oklahoma Centennial Regatta is a good early season test for us and will help prepare us for the Head of the Charles later this month.

We are very excited about Charles and Philip coming to South Alabama. They are outstanding people and students who have a world of basketball potential...We certainly look forward to both of them making contributions to helping our team as freshmen.

Bill represents the spirit of community leadership and involvement exemplified by Charles H. Flynn and the 33 previous winners of this prestigious award. We are very fortunate that he has been so willing to share his time and expertise with so many different groups in the Valley down through the years.
