Directly Quotes from:
-
Benchmark Quotes
We looked for durability and consistency. In today's game, 200 innings is the benchmark that defines consistency and durability. The inherent value is that it takes you directly from the starters to the back end of your bullpen. It allows you to bypass the more unpredictable parts of the pitching staff.
-
Ability Quotes
Hundreds of children have been recovered through the Amber Alert plan, and the ability to ultimately deliver these alerts directly to the phones of nearly 200 million wireless subscribers can dramatically increase the reach of the program. Bottom line, if you have a wireless phone of any kind, there's no excuse for not being a subscriber to wireless Amber Alerts.
-
Actions Quotes
Job losses cut directly into the spending of the newly unemployed, and indirectly tend to have a very real impact on the confidence of those who are still working. If demand falls, firms will lay off more employees, and the downward spiral could put us over the edge into a bona fide recession before the Fed's actions can take effect.

Affront Quotes
I think it's an insult and an affront to every legal immigrant who's obeyed all the laws and done everything the country's asked of them, ... I don't think it's fair that millions of people should be able to cut in line in front of them. It directly undermines our immigration laws." ()
-
Brilliant Quotes
It is a little hill, or rather three or four hills that seem piled together... and just where their shade is the darkest, they suddenly recede, and, from a stoney excavation, bursts forth a strong and rapid stream of pure and brilliant water, which pours directly down the precipice, and is lost in the trees that crowd over it.
-
Biggest Quotes
I think the biggest factor in that game was that we had three errors that led directly to runs being scored. They were on routine plays and errors on routine plays happen, and it's just unfortunate and it was a situation where we needed to keep the score at three. If you put extra runners on, the possibility is there it is going to bite you and it bit hard tonight.

Economy And Economics Quotes
It isn't as if there's no manufacturing left in the U.S. economy or the Dow Jones industrial average. As much as the Information Age has changed the U.S. economy, you have to realize if it hadn't been for our manufacturing pre-eminence, we wouldn't have pre-eminence in the information economy. It derives directly from the U.S. lead in computers, which goes back to our manufacturing base. I don't think manufacturing is finished by any means.
-
Aware Quotes
Our primary competition is still domestic banks. But we are certainly aware there is going to be competition from foreign banks directly and indirectly because every day you read about another investment in a domestic bank and they will be bringing in risk management, better processes and more capital.
-
Academy Quotes
Our Academy represents thousands of music people across the country, many of whom were directly affected by the New Orleans tragedy. Music's Biggest Night wouldn't be complete if we didn't take this unique opportunity to pay homage to a region with such rich musical history and culture. New Orleans, we'll always be there for you.
-
Accidental Quotes
Residents of Massachusetts and particularly those along the Buzzards Bay coastline have experienced first-hand the devastation to the environment that can result from accidental oil spills. However, there was nothing accidental about this case. The defendant knowingly violated anti-pollution laws, intentionally dumping oil-contaminated waste directly into the ocean--and even went so far as to manufacture a so-called 'magic pipe' to accomplish the crime. Our hope is that this substantial $10 million fine will send a strong message to those in the maritime community who would try to circumvent our Nation's anti-pollution laws.
-
Areas Quotes
Our objective is to grow our OEM business by penetrating the OEM areas we're in more deeply rather than look for new business, though we'll do that too. For the first time we'll have a budget and resources directly focused on this. The response from customers has been very enthusiastic.
-
Accident Quotes
Our law here in Arizona, it requires that the driver have known that he injured an individual or a reasonable person should have known that he may have hit an individual, ... And the facts and circumstances surrounding his conduct after the accident will go directly to that element of the charge.
-
Children Quotes
Ordinarily, I'd claim that I'd never write directly about my children, but the opening conversation of 'Peter Elroy' is a verbatim conversation that my children had that I just loved: morbid, funny, passionate, and obsessed with the truth of things - all natural qualities of children that I'd like my work to contain.
-
Director Quotes
My opposition is simply a matter of who reports to whom. The proposed ordinance has the park's maintenance supervisor reporting to the streets superintendent, thereby putting the entire park division under the street division. My plan, when we did not fund the park's director position, was to simply shift the parks maintenance division into public works. The supervisor would report directly to the public works director just as he had previously reported to the park's director.
-
Beneath Quotes
My husband recently made me try on a bikini. A bikini is not so much a garment as a cloth-based reminder that your parts have been migrating all these years. My waist, I realized that day in the dressing room, has completely disappeared beneath my rib cage, which now rests directly on my hips. I'm exhibiting continental drift in reverse.
-
Brand Quotes
Like their offline counterparts, online shoppers have favorite retailers that they frequently visit. They are very familiar with the retailer's brand name and tend to go directly to their sites. However, some gifts may involve more research, in which case search engines and shopping comparison sites come into play. Most shoppers use a variety of channels to get their holiday shopping done.

Felt Quotes
I thought of my knee, ... and I jumped. He missed me, but I landed directly on my (right) knee. When I first landed, I didn't feel anything. I was happy. I was relieved he didn't hit my leg. But when I got up, I instantly felt it. When I got in the huddle, I looked at Davone (Bess, the left slotback), and I told him my knee hurt.
-
Access Quotes
Judge Webster and anyone he selects to assist him will have complete access and whatever resources are necessary to complete the task, ... He will report directly to the attorney general and I, and we will share his report with the National Security Council and the Congress. I intend to act swiftly on any of his recommendations.
-
Accounting Quotes
It is disconcerting that no one associated with the Guild has yet been able to provide a detailed accounting or basis for these fees, despite the fact that they come directly from dues and fees paid by Guild members, who expect the Guild's leadership and management to be dedicated to furthering the members' health and welfare.
-
Approach Quotes
The approach of playing out the events of Our Town on an open stage engages the audience directly and essentially makes it a character in the play. The play uses flashbacks and an awareness of the fluid nature of time as it explores the significance of fully living the present moment.
-
Deal Quotes
My career was always about working with people, and understanding issues and problems and helping them to solve those issues and problems. How you deal with people - that's what diplomacy is all about. So while I'm not a career diplomat, many of the skills I had seemed to directly translate into the diplomatic arena.
-
Attend Quotes
While the date (fall 2007) has merit, particularly from the perspective of 'filling the bucket' for the $400 million endowment and more opportunity for planning, I would urge you to recommend a start date of fall 2006. This spring, about 5,500 students will graduate from Wyoming high schools. Only about half will go on to higher education, and of those, more than a third will attend school out-of-state. Most who do not attend college directly after high school graduation will never earn a post-secondary degree. Many who go to college out-of-state will be lost to Wyoming forever.

Asked Quotes
When I saw that quote, I thought the same thing. I was studying Shakespeare at a university during the making of Make Believe, and it did spark some concern, and I asked Rivers about it. We never directly say, 'So, does this mean this is our last record? What does this mean?' But I know he took Shakespeare too, and maybe it struck a chord with him.
