Charles Quotations | Page 3

As it is with all of these guys, do they have the stomach for pro football? I remember Jack Ramsey introducing me to Charles Barkley. I said to him, 'You would make a great tight end.' He told me I was out of my mind. He said, 'Do you think I want to get hit in the mouth on every play?' It's a different world. It's all about wanting it badly enough.

At some point, this becomes simple math. If guys like Michael, Charles and Patrick are getting 35 over here, against this competition, then they can get 50 points in the Olympics. I know it's not simply a matter of scoring, but I think the top five NBA teams would beat the top European teams. It'll be no contest.

At the time the Lockwood Collection was donated, ... Charles Abbott, then the university's library director, called it 'a princely gift,' and 'the nucleus, around which may grow a new library, dedicated to learning and to the culture that it seeks to inspire.'

Currently my original oils are being sold by The Charles Hecht Galleries in La Jolla, California.

There's not much I don't like about (Charles and Dustin). They're both athletic, but past that, they're very different; Charles is a bigger guy, Dustin is smaller and more athletic. Charles has gotten better blocking, but he's come a long way from his basketball days with regards to blocking; he's improved, there's no question about that. We think that Dustin is the most improved player on the team. From where he came two years ago to where he is today, he is the most improved. So much so that we believe we need to get him on the field more. Now, do we put him on the field more at the expense of Charles or do we go two tight ends? You'll find out later on.

The town of St. Charles near St. Louis was founded by a trapper named Blanchette. There is a section that's called Frenchtown on historical markers.

It would be impossible for me to say when the idea of becoming an owner first came to me. Probably it was a gradual process. The first time the matter was brought to my attention in a concrete form, however, was when Charles Murphy was selling out his controlling interest in the Chicago Cubs.

The 'X' is usually the 'clear out' guy, ... Charles could easily jog, but he's hitting it full speed and running full speed coming back to the huddle. He doesn't ask for the ball. We've got a lot of crossing routes, but he doesn't say, 'Can I get an X cross?' I think he believes that good things come to those who wait.

It was very distressing to see how completely relaxed and normal Jean Charles appeared, particularly in the light of statements made immediately after his death,

I've always said that the reason 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' is a classic is because it reflects the Midwest values that Charles Schulz grew up with.

I've always been a huge fan of Charles Lawton's performance in 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame,' so somewhere along the line, I've always wanted to play that character.

I vividly remember Charles Bronson's face in 'Chino.' The western genre is screaming for a face like that.

Sometimes, in our thinking about higher education, we're too narrowly confined to a utilitarian calculus about what it's doing to the bottom line of UK plc. I wanted to make the point that higher education adds immeasurably to the value of the UK economy without necessarily obliging everybody to pursue courses that have some immediate vocational application. I wanted to stick up for medieval history, among other things, which was deprecated by Charles Clarke.

Ray Charles is a giant. He was one of my mentors. He would write arrangements in Braille, and translate it to me. At 14 and 16 we used to sit in Seattle on those rainy days and dream about what would happen.

Offensively, we were living and dieing with the jump shot. We were trying to figure out a way to get our big men more involved and it kind of evolved naturally in the second Plainfield game when Charles (Miller) was working real hard. Mohammad Wilkerson (6-6 junior) followed Charles' lead and those two have become forces in the paint on both ends of the floor ever since to give us a new look.

Of course, they don't have (defensive back) Charles Woodson and that's one of the big things.

Normally, Charles (Bronson) has been doing that, but Brandon stepped up and did a great job. He got a little confidence going and he did a great job. They (Navarro) were doing such a great job of pressuring our wings that we had to get some inside relief to the pressure.

After considerable repair and renovation work, we are pleased to support this community by re-opening our doors and providing Lake Charles with much-needed additional hotel capacity.

Dedicated to my parents, Charles and Betty Murphy, and to my wife, Nancy. Anything good that has come to my life has been because of your example, guidance, and love.

Despite his enormous success, artistically and financially, Ray Charles was a humble man,

Approaching 50, I am living a life that is less sunlit Waldman/Chabon than tattered Charles Bukowski.

As a society, we have become completely disconnected from where our food comes from. Prince Charles acknowledges and understands and embraces sustainable agriculture.

At times, we were all big-time guys. We play for each other now. It's not about being selfish. If Roy does well, it reflects our group. If I'm in the slot and see Charles on the outside, I need to run my clear-out as hard as I can because it will help him on his route. We just have to work for each other.

As long as this stigma exists, that Charles Taylor is supposed to be Attila the Hun, nothing is going to come here. And now it's not just about me, it's about this country living.

That was a big turn-around for us. They're fixing to tie it up. I didn't think anybody could catch Charles Mitchell. That was the play of the game.

This is, for us, as good as it gets. Prince Charles has pretty much for 20-plus years embraced the idea of sustainability.

A lot of the boys were in the crowd cheering the girls on (last weekend). St. Charles made a run with both programs at the same time, and they had a lot of success and they fed off each other. (We're doing the same so) that looks really good for our future.

They kind of got in foul trouble, and starting playing a little lax in the post. We wanted to go right at them. Charles and I did a good job attacking inside.

They have been great and they really added a lot to the show and they were just as you would hope they would be, incisive and decisive and clear, ... Charles is just a great master of the one-liner and made us laugh all the time and Alexis was unbelievably wonderful to all the candidates and they just appreciated her candor and niceness.

There'll be constant discussions when Prince Charles flies back from Oman, where he has been on an official visit, and I think they are going to have to come out with a better strategy than the one with which they came out already.

This marriage of Hewlett and Compaq that's finally been allowed to be consummated reminds me a lot of what would happen if there were a union between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.

A third country needs to offer a jail cell for Charles Taylor if he's convicted. Countries should be lining up to take Taylor, not backing away.

It's an open secret that Prince Charles was deeply opposed to the war in Iraq and holds very different views on the environment.

It's an interesting and exciting time. We did that with the Raiders. We started John Ritchie, Mo Collins and Charles Woodson. Despite all the people that think I don't like young players. I've done it before and I'll do it again if they're our best players.

It probably would have been mentioned to the Queen by the prime minister and she would speak to Charles herself about it.

It started when Charles became president. He became more active and the group more actively tried to stimulate membership.

It just hit me again (yesterday) morning that he's gone. Charles was loved by everyone. It's been hard on all of us.

It's going to be an interactive performance and discussion. Charles is a master pianist and acclaimed educator. It seemed like a perfect fit to give the week an educational element. He is referred to as the grandfather of jazz in this area.

It's funny, because when I went down to the combine for the interviews with teams, Charles Haley is the name that came up a lot as a comparison to the way I play. A lot of people said that I reminded them of him, and that's a great honor.

It's unfortunate but if Prince Charles chooses to buy made-to-measure suits - or even factory-made suits - that's up to him.

That song is gone, it's gone, it's gone. Charles and I have often looked at one another and can't even remember the lyric or the tune.

Efficiency and cost reduction are a matter of survival for airlines. Charles de Gaulle Airport is already the second most expensive airport in Europe. It should be focusing on cost decreases not increases. This short-sighted decision will have long-term effects on the competitive position of Paris as a major hub.

The best thing, ... was that my subject was accessible, which wasn't always true with the other people I worked with. Secondly, I didn't have to split the money with him. He did it gratis, which was nice of him. And if he was wrong, I had nobody to blame but myself. I couldn't pull a Charles Barkley and claim I was misquoted in my autobiography.

Take a message to the nonbelievers: Nothing happened. The evacuees are law-abiding citizens. In fact, our crime rate in Lake Charles has dropped in the last two weeks,

Its amazing to see and hear the various opinions of the people arrived in Nova Scotia. Some hold the land as good, as the account given by Charles Dixon in his letters to England, others think them pretty good but nothing compared to C. Dixon's account - But a great many, especially the poorest sort, for which I'm greatly concerned, for I cannot see how they are to earn their bread or by what means they must be supported.

It was nice. It really wasn't necessary, but it was nice. That's an indication of what kind of man (Islanders owner) Charles (Wang) is and what kind of organization they are.

They certainly don't want to be drawing comparisons with the star-studded Diana and Charles visit in 1985,

The US is deeply concerned by reports that Charles Taylor fled.

They can't say you'll go to jail. Though Charles Dickens loved them, America does not have debtor's prisons.

After the yellow we talked about it on the radio to try to let Pierre go and try to get Charles. But as far as I was concerned he was never close enough to me to allow it and by the time he could have even gotten by I figured that Charles was already gone so I figured I would do my best to maintain my position at that point.

At this stage of the game, the agent becomes an advisor and big brother to the player. Charles is a good person and a good father ... You work harder for the clients you like.

Everywhere I turned, Prince Charles seemed to be this weekend - near my house in Berkeley then a few blocks away from my work in downtown San Francisco.

The kids from St. Charles swam really, really well. They did a great job. You can't say (enough) about what they did. It looked like to me that they wanted to do really, really well and they did.

The Center for New England Culture is pleased to continue its partnership with the Center for the Study of Community at Strawbery Banke Museum. The two centers have worked together over the past year with English as a Second Language teachers in area high schools and with local students from Indonesia, China, and other nations on an oral history project to document their experiences. The work of these students will be featured at the conference, making it truly a community project, and the keynote presentation by Charles Simic will bring the insights of one of Americas preeminent writers to the theme of language and immigration.

I'm going to keep praying. My house is in St. Charles Parish, and my house had some leakage and siding damage nothing major.

I'm going to keep praying, ... My house is in St. Charles Parish, and my house had some leakage and siding damage -- nothing major.

I'm not comfortable with making an honorary name for Jim Kelly on Mason Road. I think Charles Mason was a prominent man and Jim Kelly is a prominent man. Jim Kelly needs his own street. ... I don't think it's befitting to have Charles Mason and Jim Kelly on the same street.

I'm really annoyed at the Police Department, giving out his time of employment. There were other cops named Charles Burns.

I hope the party will rally round Charles now he has made this statement. I think the public are enormously forgiving of their politicians and enormously fond of Charles.

I'm trying to hit a little cut, and I guess at the last second my brain bails out and I go left. Maybe I should have taken a little more time after I see Charles hit it in there.

(In Charles Wright's game Thursday), their top three guys scored 49 points, and today we held them to 23.

In 1979, the library collection was moved to the new North Campus, ... and the original building renamed Abbott Hall for Charles Abbott. Between 1983 and 1985, it underwent a $5.5 million renovation and enlargement, and today houses the university's Health Sciences Library.

I'm in so many Charles Bronson films because no other actress will work with him.

I know that when I see Tiger Woods showed up a day early. And Charles Howell, Chris DiMarco and Jay Haas - they all four were here a day before anybody was supposed to be here to play the golf course and get ready for it.

I'm really totally convinced, and I can't predict the time frame, but someday these cartoonists, like Charles Schulz, will have the same reputation in American culture as Mark Twain. This location has tremendous potential for attendance if we do it right.

If Lake Charles avoids a direct hit, devastation to the primary feeder market could have a negative impact as coverage from business interruption insurance is not certain.

If Prince Charles is going to seek to influence healthcare or science policy - especially without going through the normal peer review process - he must allow himself to be challenged in debate or interview, something that he has never done.

I once went to a basketball game and told Charles Barkley he'd make a great tight end. And he said, 'No thank you.' Most of them don't want to do it because, in football, you get smacked in the mouth.

If you are making a film about a very famous individual you live or die by the person that's going to play the main role, ... In this film I'm in big trouble because everyone knows what Ray Charles looks like. Everyone knows his movements, everyone knows his vocal patterns.

If you know Charles, you know how crazy he is. That's Charles trying to be funny and have humor on the air. I don't think he did it maliciously. If he comes to a game, he might not want to leave.

If you look at all the evidence and what's reasonable, it tells you that Charles Lynch committed this crime, ... We can't bring her (the victim) back, but we can send Charles Bernard Lynch a message that he's not going to get away with this.

I look at Charles as a football player. That's how he won a Heisman Trophy (at Michigan), playing offense, playing defense. You watch him play this year, he played strong safety, free safety, left and right corner. He's a football player.

I know how to do this. I'm fine. I've got food until Christmas. I've got water until Carnival. You can tell everybody's that out there that's from News Orleans, that I've got my spot for the Bacchus parade right here on Saint Charles Avenue. I'm all ready, and I expect them back.

I just let him express himself. He is already leading by example, and he is trying to take a role of team leader. He and (second baseman) Charles Roberson got some life back into those guys.

I have to thank Charles greatly because he's been one of my greatest fans. It's not just our friendship but the respect he gave me.

I have to thank Charles (Barkley) for giving a great halftime talk when he said the game was over. I thought we were playing too perfect, but in the second half we played exceptionally well. When our four guys (four All-Stars from Detroit) were in we started to run some plays, and I think that helped us.

In the late '60s, Senator Charles E. Goodell, Republican of New York, spoke out against the Vietnam War, bringing on the wrath of the Nixon administration and, as it turned out, the disaffection of conservative voters.

Cabinet officers don't live in a vacuum. Just because they had business dealings with someone in the past does not mean they cannot serve in an ethical way. Charles Kushner is not getting any special treatment.

Camilla is a million miles away from achieving the popularity that Diana did. ... They will need all the PR expertise they can muster. Prince Charles and Camilla getting married and living in a house on one of his estates is one thing, her ever becoming queen is totally different.

How can Charles Clarke possibly remain in his job if his department's negligence has led to such appalling crimes?

I didn't know he went by Charles I knew him by Charlie. I always thought he would have some type of success in his life because he was a great leader. Charlie always had a very calm manner and he was reassuring to the younger players.

Before the Charles fight, he fought Jimmy Beau in a main event at Madison Square Garden. He won a 10-round decision, but Beau damaged his left eye. He fought Charles with one eye.

Charles Wynn ran the ball really well, but Charles did most of that (himself).

Charles will make that decision, I will help him with that.

Charles was in complete control pitching. He was always ahead in the count and just dominated. All of his pitches were working. This was a great start for him and for our team.

Charles Wang, owner of the New York Islanders, serves as something of a cautionary tale in terms of how heavy owner involvement can sink a franchise.

Charles V. said that a man who knew four languages was worth four men; and Alexander the Great so valued learning, that he used to say he was more indebted to Aristotle for giving him knowledge that, than his father Philip for giving him life.

Charles used to drag Donald (Brown) to the gym every day. (Lee) worked with (Brown), helped him with his confidence.

Charles Taylor, the former president of Liberia, was arrested this morning at the Nigeria Cameroon border. He was arrested in company of a driver and a woman and they have been taken into custody.

Charles Taylor is out of Liberia , he is through raping and pillaging his country and the Liberian people are trying to look forward. I really think we owe it to them to look forward and not back.

Charles Sanders has a strong record of running, directing and advising major corporations around the country, ... It would be difficult to match his qualifications to help guide this new endeavor to a successful start.

Charles said everything went well. But I expected him to enjoy it. They have good people there and they all know each other.

Charles River provides us with a highly qualified and proven global solution. In particular, Charles River IMS provides us the scalability required for our unique and growing multi-manager fund business.

Charles really helped himself at the Senior Bowl, he was dominant against some of the top defensive line prospects. He's worked out well at every step of the way. He did well at the combine and at our pro day. We had to move him to tackle and he adapted quickly and made the most of it. He's going to have a nice career.

Charles Patterson's book will go a long way towards righting the terrible wrongs that human beings, throughout history, have perpetrated on non-human animals. I urge you to read it and think deeply about its important message.

Charles Manson ate apples. That doesn't mean I'm not going to.

Charles made us laugh all the time, and Alexis is unbelievably wonderful to all the candidates. They just appreciated her candor and niceness so much,

Charles (Lee) made a great penetration play, and left me wide open with no other choice but to shoot it. I just let it go.

Charles Kelly has excelled in all phases of coaching, and he has been in charge of several special teams units during his career. He will be a valuable addition to our staff, both on the field and in recruiting.

Charles is the speed guy, the smaller of the three if you can call him that,
