Delay Quotations | Page 2

There are too many avenues of delay in the current system.

We're getting what we wanted. We wanted a delay and an opportunity to look more closely at this thing, and give Congress an opportunity to ask more questions.

Many in the scientific community are concerned that the president's decision will delay development of cures for dread disease for many years, at the cost of countless lives and immeasurable suffering,

Many people who could benefit from insulin are fearful of injections, so they delay treatment five years or 10 years, placing them at risk for serious complications.

Sen. Graham and I do not think it would be appropriate to vote on this bill while the president is there, so we have agreed to delay the vote,

Senator (Lindsey) Graham has not agreed to delay a vote on the China currency legislation. No decision has been made and any insinuation to the contrary is nothing more than uninformed speculation.

Security personnel confiscated the envelope for investigation while passengers and luggage were searched, resulting in a three-hour delay in take-off.

So for every four weeks they delay, they lose 80 million dollars, and you can do the math from here.

Some consumers will certainly delay PC purchases until Vista is available, but we expect the delay to shift only moderate volume from the fourth quarter of 2006 into 2007 and will not cause a loss of sales.

Since the installation of these new automated boxes, we've had a delay in getting the proper information for the past month or so, ... In the case that we could not get the proper information, the readings were estimated.

Most of these people have done well because of their connection with DeLay, and DeLay has actively tried to place them in key positions knowing that it would help him and the Republicans in Congress, and it has.

Mr. DeLay makes decisions and sets legislative priorities based on good policy and what is best for his constituents and the country. Any suggestion of outside influence is manipulative and absurd. Mr. DeLay has very firm beliefs and he fights very hard for them.

Mr. DeLay is confident that when the investigation is over ... they'll conclude he has done nothing wrong.

Mr. DeLay has not taken any gambling money. He doesn't believe in taking money from gambling interests.

Mr. DeLay has done good for this district but recently he's made some poor ethical choices. It's just time for us to move on.

Mr. DeLay has a unique understanding of a lot of the big policy debates, and he is somebody who has always worked in the past with his colleagues to make the case that their votes are important. That is one of the reasons he got into leadership, and people still recognize he has a degree of knowledge and influence.

Mr. DeLay explained to officials what he has always said publicly: His role with respect to TRMPAC was limited to serving on the political action committee's advisory board along with other elected Texas officials and to appearing at fundraising events.

No doubt, I'm sure, the senior executives at Microsoft were pretty upset (with the latest Vista delay). Steven has a track record of shipping products (and he can) potentially take the reins and get the thing out the door and fix whatever process problems there are.

Of course it took too long, but I'm glad they didn't rush it to market. I think it was a wise decision to hold off on the newer version and delay it until the product was ready, which I think it is.

None of this means necessarily that DeLay is going to be indicted. But a deal like this only strengthens the government's hand.

No one knows when this is going to end. DeLay is confident that when it ends, the prosecutors will conclude that he's done nothing wrong.

One word for Microsoft: delay. Stretch the remedy out, stretch the appeal out, stretch the Supreme Court proceeding out. If you delay as long as possible then anything could happen.

One wonders where there's smoke, there's fire. There's no telling what did Delay know and when did he know it?

More tightening is still needed. The Fed has to consider the election calendar. They can't delay until late summer or fall, when it might be politically more difficult.

My guess is that all hands will be on deck, ... Those who are formally in leadership, and members who are influential and not in leadership by title, will all be fully engaged. That means Tom DeLay will be fully engaged.

Obviously, we are disappointed that there might be any further delay. However, we remain committed to working with the state of Florida and Palm Beach County to make Scripps Florida an even greater success that it already is,

Right after he came home from his rehab, we started to have a few problems, and I thought it was going to be in our best interest to delay the wedding. But he really pushed it, and I thought it was really going to be something that worked this time.

Nobody here thinks we are going to out raise Tom DeLay. But we are going to have to raise more to win this House race than anybody probably has raised before.

One of the big problems we have is every time we have a crisis, we have to go knocking on doors. It could take anywhere from two to four months from the time we get the money to the actual handing over of the food because you have to buy it, transport it, and distribute it. There's a delay in that.

I was pleased with how we executed and came out ready to play after the rain delay. Kim gave us great effort on the mound and we backed her up with the hits and runs we needed.

If we get a little lucky, Tom DeLay will look at the next election from behind bars, ... Then in 2006, we're going to take back the House.

If the running conditions on the roadways were hazardous to our runners, that would be sufficient to cancel or delay the event. I'm mostly concerned that our volunteers will opt to stay home because of the frigid conditions. The runners, for the most part, won't be deterred.

If they are acknowledging that the delay is costing them - that it is making things worse - that is a step in the right direction.

If they will continue working full time or will be phasing out of work, and wages put them in a higher tax bracket during the phase-out period, they may want to delay distributions (withdrawals) from their tax-deferred accounts until years in which they have no earned income and are in a lower tax bracket,

If this is the priority then I need to know so that I can plan for that and maybe next time not delay power to hospitals and water systems by 24 hours.

If we delay, the adjustments could be abrupt and painful,

I'd like to believe we hurt ourselves more than they hurt us. It was dysfunctional management. We had to use timeouts, we had a delay of game penalty, two personal fouls ... We lost our emotion out there, and it hurt us.

I'd like to apologize for the delay. I have been cautious because many people in various areas are banking on the potential of the next-generation DVD.

I'd like to see the first time that Bush and Tom DeLay get into a trap.

I don't believe somebody like Tom DeLay is going to take any chances by way of his representation, and his reputation.

I do not see that happening either from the Indian side or from the Pakistani side. A day's delay is like an year to me. They (the governments) raise our expectations and never keep their promises,

I'd anticipated the Liberals would want to delay the election at least until the spring, if not longer, ... But look, if there's a necessity to have a fall election and the NDP ceases to prop up the government, that could still happen.

But what a prosecutor wants is someone in the meetings. I think someone has to have rolled over on DeLay.

I have little doubt that while Iran might produce nuclear power for peaceful purposes that it is also seeking a nuclear weapon. A deal with Russia could delay weapons development, but it would have to be closely monitored.

Frankly, I would say that the trend of ongoing pressure from Asia isn't a particular surprise. The great percentage of the impact from Asia has probably already been felt in Boeing's stock price, but there will be some residual delay associated with earnings.

France strongly condemns this crime ... (and) calls for an international inquiry to be held without delay to determine the circumstances of, and responsibility for, this tragedy, before punishing the culprits.

Fox had been warned about allowing the S-word on the air. The network could have used a delay and bleeped the profanity. But they chose not to. The network chose to air the segment live. Millions of viewers, including children, were offended by the crude profanity.

If a president can enforce a part of a law and delay a part of a law, then does he have a power to not enforce any law he so chooses? If he can allow illegal aliens to freely run across our border, can he force legal citizens out of the country? Where would be the end of his power?

I don't want it to sound as if this is all my idea. I'm just the chairman of this board. Do you want us to delay this and study it further?

I don't view it as a delay because everyone was planning on it being in the fall if not later. There is some relief it's not going to be delayed longer.

I expect him to make it through the primary fairly handily, but my sense of this is that DeLay is in trouble over the course of this election cycle.

I don't think it is appropriate to delay my decision about the Olympics any further. As much as I would enjoy representing my country in Italy, I'm afraid that at this point in the season my focus has to remain with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

For too long Tom DeLay has been the subject of a partisan witch hunt by Ronnie Earle and the media that has ultimately led to a distorted public image of assumed guilt.

For most enterprises, it will take them 18 months for testing and planning before they can start deploying Windows Vista anyway, so this delay won't affect their plans all that much.

Give yourself time and room; what reason could not avoid, delay has often cured

If it is just a hoax to delay a test, it's pretty immature. If it is a bomb threat, I'm glad (the authorities) are taking precautions.

If Tom DeLay really wants to see the source of his problems, he needs to look in the mirror. He chose this path, and now he's paying the price.

If taxes are owed, a delay in filing may result in penalty and interest charges that could increase your tax bill by 25 percent or more.

He is an advocate for reducing the nearly two-decade delay in resolving capital appeals.

He is eager to get back to work. He is concerned about the delay in the Rock Stars concerts and is making every effort to get his schedule back on track.

He is a conviction politician like Ronald Reagan; he's also been a party builder. DeLay always kept his eye on building party and the movement, and that's rare.

He must officially initiate such a request with his unit to get a personnel action of this nature started. There are procedures for a delay in his deployment but he, in conjunction with his unit, must initiate them. His time is short if he has not done so.

There is a few weeks' delay because the partners had asked. This is a major release and it takes a lot of time to do the appropriate qualifications. Some of the manufacturers have their systems built off shore. There are logistics that have to take place here and we are not experts on that.

There is no five-second delay on Crossfire-if you say it, people will hear it. Things can get heated; the potential is there to overstate your position. It is vital to not misrepresent what you actually believe.

The purpose of it was not to delay bills. But back when people in the early days were illiterate, they would have a constitutional right to have it read to them.

We've been told on a couple of occasions that Tom DeLay is not a target. We are very confident that when the Justice Department completes its investigation he will remain not a target and will in fact be vindicated.

We support the concept of this new travel card, but it must be affordable, easy for travelers to obtain and should not delay passage through our ports of entry. More than 400 million inspections occur at our nation's borders each year, with more than $500 billion in surface trade alone between the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Having to search for a chairman and CEO could delay the turnaround for some period of time. They have a somewhat diminished but still strong market position.

He's a close associate of Tom DeLay. I don't think a friend of Tom DeLay is a friend to the 21st Congressional District.

Here we're talking about a record that must be prepared, it's unquestionably public and it's relatively easy to find. Four weeks would not represent a reasonable time. A delay of that nature is a failure to comply with the law.

He's going to be looking after a program that has been fraught with delay, faulty science, mismanagement and misdirection.

The rain delay helped me, ... My coach gave me some advice. I regrouped and came back more focused.

There is an urgent need for a state to step forward. A prolonged delay would raise real questions about the commitment of the international community to international justice.

There is an awful lot of anxiety among Republicans as to what may happen in 2006. I think there is a sense among a growing number of members that they have lost their way. Tom DeLay may become a symbol of what ails them.

Humans do a rough categorization of objects very quickly. For instance, in just a tenth of a second, we can recognize whether something we see is an animal or not. Our results show that this immediate, rough impression probably depends on recognizing just one or more individual parts of what we see. Fine discriminations such as recognizing individual faces take longer to happen, and our study suggests that this delay depends upon emerging signals for combinations of shape fragments. In a sense, the brain has to construct an internal representation of an object from disparate pieces.

I acknowledged to Foreign Minister Kawaguchi that the U.S. government is sympathetic to his health condition and that Sgt. Jenkins' medical condition may delay our request for his transfer to U.S. custody.

He wants to co-operate with the authorities in any way that he can, and he is anxious that the delay may cause his late wife's family and his own additional distress, something he wishes to avoid. He believes that he will receive a fair and a proper hearing in the U.S.A. of these very serious allegations.

He clearly is aiming at the jury pool and aiming at voters, hoping to generate as much sympathy as he can. And it shows DeLay never misses a beat when it comes to fundraising no matter how dark things get.

He'll actually become a hero to the majority of Californians when he vetoes it. The 'Terminator' should announce without delay that this bill is dead meat.

I think it's brilliant. The worst-case outcome for them is that they delay Johnson and force them to pay several million dollars more for Guidant, which weakens them as a competitor.

I threw the ball at the backboard. Guys do that all the time when they're frustrated. I thought I might get a delay of game, at the worst maybe one technical foul. But to throw me out of the game? That was absolutely crazy.

I think the primary reason for that (the delay) is that, right now, he (Cohen) feels that his place is here in Washington devoting as much time as possible to running the U.S. participation in the air campaign in Kosovo, preparing for the peacekeeping force.

I think the charge of a cover-up is false and irresponsible. This was legislation intended to protect the rights of voters who register at a license branch to make sure that, if there's a delay in getting the paper copy or the electronic signature, they'll still be able to vote.

I think the delay will make many people nervous. They are asking what is going on.

I think the biggest impact, were there a delay, would be on the consumer sector, but given that the Department of Justice is not asking to block the launch, it doesn't look like there'll be much of an impact.

I was assured this guy was not getting railroaded. As far as the delay in charges, I don't know. It's rather odd, I'll admit that. There's several questions I would like answered.

It is probably prudent to wait and delay. At some point this year the market will turn around.

I thought the call that was before that was sort of a cheap call. I just came down and was frustrated. By no means was I trying to hit a fan. If anything, I was trying to get a delay of game. Unfortunately, that happened. I apologized to the little girl and her father.

I thought that this would be resolved quickly, and Congressman DeLay can get back to Washington and resume his post. But obviously, the game here is to keep Congressman DeLay out of his leadership post in the Congress.

I think Carole is reasoning that her delay will make her announcement more dramatic and dominate the first press coverage of the new year. She is right.

I think we called in the army without much delay but the area is remote and deployment takes time,

I think those people may have already been starting down that pathway toward Alzheimer's, and you can delay or reduce the rate of that pathway proceeding.

It is now high time to complete the work, locate, arrest and transfer Ratko Mladic to The Hague without delay and if that is not the case in the next few days then we have no other option than to call off the next negotiation round.

I think the 10th District (of North Carolina) sent him to Washington to work for them, not Tom DeLay or Karl Rove.

It is important to note that the delay in the decals is not a current problem for residents, because there is a grace period until April 30.

It is important, of course, that controversies be settled right, but there are many civil questions which arise between individuals in which it is not so important the controversy be settled one way or another as that it be settled. Of course a settlement of a controversy on a fundamentally wrong principle of law is greatly to be deplored, but there must of necessity be many rules governing the relations between members of the same society that are more important in that their establishment creates a known rule of action than that they proceed on one principle or another. Delay works always for the man with the longest purse.

Later, she was asked about earlier gaffes, including an embarrassing 30-second-plus delay in her kickoff speech caused by a missing page of text. Pirro responded, 'I got to tell you, was it my best day? Absolutely not. Am I better than that? Absolutely not (sic).'

I will report back to the board as soon as possible. I'm not in a hurry to rush this. At the same time, I don't see any reason to delay a report for any reason whatsoever. I think the key is a thorough investigation.

It is a push by bankruptcy opponents to try and delay the implementation, more so than a good-faith effort to help Katrina victims.

I think the season is done. I don't see how this can be resolved next September. Their strategy is to break the will of the union and impose a salary cap and I don't think that's going to work. I'm convinced there won't even be a training camp next year. They are going to try to delay this as much as possible. We are telling players who want to play in Europe to get ready and find work over there.
