Expect Quotations | Page 9

No Child Left Behind is creating issues we didn't expect four or five years ago. The law's approaching deadlines raise flags for both sides.

Nobody wants to be having this vote so in that regard there is not a lot of good feeling, but I expect it will be ratified.

Nobody's taking him out, so I don't expect to take him out, either. You hope to slow him down. People will devise different ways to try to slow him down, either by getting up and pressing him, bumping him or double-teaming him or this, that and the other.

Nobody should expect from the congress the abandonment of what our revolution has meant.

Nobody should expect an actor to have these wonderful ideas and concepts about the world: they pretend to be other people for a living.

Nothing, I find, has prepared me for the sight of my own characters walking about. A playwright or screenwriter must expect it; a novelist doesn't and naturally concludes that she has gone mad.

Right now it's up to us to maintain our level of play and stay in first place. Winning these two games this week gives us a lot more confidence because these are teams that people outside our program don't expect us to beat.

Right now it's not practical to expect every school district will have a qualified Japanese or Arabic teacher to provide that.

Right now, it's all really just a big show. It's unsettling to the workers, but you can expect both sides to go full steam ahead right up to the cliff and for this thing to then get settled.

Right now, I'm feeling pretty good. I'll get some more things looked at, make sure I'm all right. But I came back at the end of the game, and I expect to be out there next week.

Right now Craig is feeling quite down, as you'd expect he would be.

Right away, nationwide, we're going to see an increase of gas prices of 12 cents. We'll see it almost everywhere by Tuesday. In addition, sometime between St. Patrick's Day and the end of the month, I expect to see an additional 12 cents. This is extraordinarily bad news for the consumer.

Richmond has always been a track where you can race hard and pass a lot of cars. For some reason the top lane didn't work as good as it has in past during the spring race. I think that made it more of a one groove track and harder to pass. Hopefully that top groove will come in this weekend. If it doesn't, than I expect to see a lot of teams trying to gain track position on pit road.

Richard has given me everything I need to succeed. I expect our team to be very competitive.

People will love to have Roger back. I expect him to continue to bring out the types of products that will push the limits and be desirable for both producers and consumers.

People will know who I am and will be looking for me at tournaments. They'll just expect more from me now that I'm older.

People want hosted CRM, ... We will respond to and address that need. We expect to give Salesforce.com a very effective run for its money by having on-premise and hosted solutions over time.

Philanthropy is entertainment with a purpose. For the consumer, giving online is all about emotion -- they expect to feel as good or better than when they go to eBay or Amazon. That means the non-profit's site needs to offer engaging stories, compelling artwork, and powerful viral marketing tools.

Pettitte did a great job, the kind I've come to expect of him while facing him so many times in the American League. But so did Derek.

Phil is running a Walter Mondale campaign -- nail down the special-interest groups early, get all the big-name officeholders to endorse you and expect it will roll you into office. It didn't work for Mondale -- and he lost 49 states.

Perfection is what American women expect to find in their husbands... but English women only hope to find in their butlers.

People yearn after this robotic dream, but you can't strip your life of all meaning, emotion and feeling and expect to function.

People would start to worry about growth, and given the fact that the market is already looking for the Fed to end its rate increases this could be a dollar negative. No one would expect central banks to be raising rates in an environment where energy costs are going up sharply.

People who agree with the Boy Scouts - they can do that. And they can take the fork in the road that goes down toward being a strictly private organization. Why can't one of these clubs that discriminate against women or gays or atheists be a club? But don't expect to have your meetings on government property, for instance. That's the distinction here.

Poland are very good. We did our best but there is no doubt that by far the best side won.You would expect England to win their home games, though.

Political honeymoons have a way of ending with a vengeance. This poll reflects that. You don't expect Republicans to be skeptical of one of their own. They like his persona, but the poll shows cracks in the armor.

Positive economic indicators have invigorated individual investors' interest and confidence in the markets, causing trading activity to exceed our expectations. This, along with increased client balances and their resulting yields, has helped us achieve what we expect to be a record quarter.

Politics is politics. We will expect a spirited campaign. I've had pretty solid majorities in this district.

Portishead's production is just insane beats you would expect to be on a KRS-One album. But then there's this little white girl with an angel voice singing over it. It was a cool juxtaposition. I like 'It's A Fire.' That's a chill song with kind of a military drum thing going on, like a drummer boy.

Personally, I'm satisfied with how the season went. You always expect perfection, but how we finished this season will set a good tone for next year.

On game day, I expect the guys to have energy no matter who the coach is. We just didn't have it today. Kansas just took it to us and that's the way I'm going to look at it.

Only by indulging in good deeds can one expect good results.

One thing prosecutors can expect to get from Causey is testimony that he met with Ken Lay during that period and made him aware of how deep the plight was at Enron. By the time of Lay's return, Enron was almost like the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

One thing I'll say here. I'm not going to waste my time talking about negative things. We won a ballgame 9-8. I'm not here to start beating on people, especially the people that, if we expect to win, are going to get us there.

Nick is getting better and better with each game he plays. He's been out of basketball a couple of years and he's starting to get some of his old habits back. He played another great game for us and we expect great things from him in the future.

Nick is an outstanding coach and makes decisions based upon the best interest of the organization. Dom is an outstanding coach. I enjoyed my time in Miami and am proud of what we accomplished. We had a good thing, and I expect the Dolphins to continue accomplishing good things looking forward.

Nobody relaxes in the playoffs. Getting the fourth win is the toughest. We expect to see their best.

Nobody knows what to expect next. That's why the crude market is apprehensive.

Nine Dragons' performance was in line with market expectation. Though there was some profit-taking, I expect the stock to post further gains as the price is still cheap.

Nobody knows for sure what lies ahead -- and the history of the Internet has taught us to expect the unexpected.

Nobody knew what to expect with these new banks coming in.

Nobody is hanging their head. You like to win every game, expect to win every game, but taking two of three against a great team is a good thing.

Nissan is obviously hurting because they haven't had anything new in a while. Until they do I expect Nissan sales to continue to be soft.

New coach, new plays, new style, new players. I don't think anyone really knows what to expect from us right now.

New-car buyers can consider hybrids because they reduce pollution and save the environment, but they shouldn't expect to save money in the short-term. Our poll data uncovered false expectations. Forty-four percent said a hybrid would cost less than a conventional car to drive and maintain.

Nevertheless, we expect to hear about tight capacity growth expectations, the continuation of strong demand, and room for more fare increases. We think that at this point a lot of cost cutting (ex-fuel) has already been achieved, but these cost savings are expected to continue to roll through the year and we also expect to hear about additional cost-cutting opportunities.

Nevertheless, many business firms indicated to the District Banks that they expect high prices for energy and construction materials to persist,

New Yorkers can 'absolutely not' expect more from her.

Near term direction will be determined by flows from Mutual Funds and corporate results. I expect stock specific activity to continue. Use declines to buy this market as we are in a structural bull run.

Nearly 96 hours after the Observer had reported it, I called Times deputy foreign editor Alison Smale and asked why not. 'We would normally expect to do our own intelligence reporting,' Smale replied. She added that 'we could get no confirmation or comment.' In other words, U.S. intelligence officials refused to confirm or discuss the memo -- so the Times did not see fit to report on it.

On our waters in the southwest, we can expect good fishing up to Memorial Day, whereas in the southeast, it's usually only good to the middle of May.

Only two of the 10 industry groups surveyed this month - chemicals and metal products - expect prices to rise in their sector over the coming three months. Cost pressures from high oil and transportation prices will only serve to depress profits further,

On the PC side, we're seeing a rolling upgrade cycle. People are continuing to upgrade desktops and notebooks. We expect a strong back-to-school season, as well.

On the other hand, I would like to stress...the current virus is not easily transmittable to humans. We don't expect a large number of cases.

Ontario can expect a surprisingly mild winter, although December and January will be colder than average with very little snow.

One of the challenges next year is we do expect it to cool off somewhat.

One of the biggest things we can get out of it is finding out what stakeholders expect from state government.

One of the questions the Commission is looking into is the fees that the banks must pay each other for carrying those credit card payments, and there we expect a decision before the end of the year.

I was floored by how bad it was. I don't think it's realistic to expect that this is going to work itself out by the second quarter. This is not an opportunity to buy on a weakness. This is a time to stay on the sidelines. Too many things have to go right. Intel has to reinvent itself very quickly, and you tend not to bet that a supertanker can turn on a dime.

I was (surprised). You expect a dogfight all the way. We talked about how we had to be the aggressor. We knew Hurley is a very aggressive team. We had to set the tone that we came to play, and we showed that we came to play.

I was surprised to see that. I didn't expect him to follow me to both sides of the field. I said, 'Oh man, I've got my work cut out for me today.' He's one of the best there is. We had a good battle. I won some, and he won some.

I was surprised to be nominated. I didn't expect to win, but of course it would have been great. There were only three songs, and I had as good a chance as anybody else. At least the guys that did win (rap group Three 6 Mafia for the song 'It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp' from the movie 'Hustle and Flow') are from Memphis.

I was surprised, ... I didn't expect the tight end to be able sneak through and cut my legs up, but he did.

I was scared coming in here, because I thought Durant had a good team and they do. I thought it would be a high-scoring game, but I didn't expect them to make so many errors. I am not complaining though, I will take a win over them any time.

I was surprised, because I was assuming that either the no-limit would raise conversion so high that it would win, or that just keeping the threshold high, which would keep the average order value high, would win. I didn't expect the middle.

I was sitting there in May not really playing much after the French, kind of deciding what route I wanted to go, ... I didn't really expect to finish up so strong. To have a Grand Slam title and then the Champions Race No. 1 trophy as well, it's been a ride since then.

I was shocked when I heard my uncle, Soo Jo, was looking for me. I didn't expect him to be alive,

I was shocked and I didn't expect us to score that high. He said we were one of the best ones he had ever seen.

I wouldn't expect to see any major effects of these bankruptcy filings on passengers. I think both carriers will restructure successfully and continue flying.

I wouldn't expect these documents to affect this exuberant bidding.

I wouldn't expect them to buy something immediately. It was a good opportunity to raise capital. It was smart to do it in this time frame.

I wouldn't expect the Martin and St. Lucie district would necessarily close on the holidays. But I think teachers would be understanding enough not to give exams on those days.

I wouldn't expect that stuff to take place this weekend, the speeds are too high. We can't bump each other and lean on each other like you would at a short track.

I wouldn't expect settlements to climb and come down more than they have done. We're expecting things to stay in a 3 to 4 percent range.

I wouldn't expect him to have a big role in this football game.

I wouldn't expect him to do much in the way of practice.

I wouldn't expect him to do anything different than Greenspan - certainly not at the beginning.

I wouldn't expect him to be back before the All-Star break. The infection he's got is pretty tough to get rid of and because he already had one replacement there's no blood flow in that area so it's hard to knock it out. So it's going to be basically take the hip out, knock out the infection, put a new one back in. That's a lot of trauma on the body.

I wouldn't expect a split anytime soon. The founders have said they are not managing this company for Wall Street or on a short-term, quarter to quarter basis,

I wouldn't expect anything to come easy at this point.

I wouldn't expect any symptoms in the short term, or long-term.

I wouldn't expect any changes to the starting line-up. It was pretty much one way traffic from what I was told, and we might have finished with five or six goals had we got the first one.

I wouldn't call it a special milestone. It's nice, but it's kind of what I expect of myself. Once you get it, you want to get more.

I would have loved the opportunity to play against Ottawa this year. We missed the entire division. Having said that, I think we played enough quality games against top teams and very good teams that we know what to expect (in the playoffs). We played well on the road. We played well at home. We went into good teams? buildings and won.

I would book it now and shop around. Talk to your travel agent and try to get the very best fare. But I wouldn't expect the fares to go down at the last minute.

I would fully expect us to pursue those kinds of opportunities in the future.

I would feel very bad if I was an Italian skater. You expect to hear the roar of the crowd. It's a little bit dead out there.

I would expect you won't see very many new natural gas-fired plants in Florida in the foreseeable future.

I would expect within this year you'll see some good social networking capabilities in our company.

I would expect when the new features come out, it will generate an acceleration in the company's growth. And while the product transition is a least a quarter out before it gets meaningful, I still think it's a good buy at this level.

I would expect we will likely see some other cases that will be attributed to the same offender.

I would expect us to win, and hopefully win well.

I would expect to see this infection moving thorough groups of dogs until a large percentage gets infected and there are a lot of immune dogs.

I would expect to. I would hope so.

I would expect to get more because we have the Washington Nationals, instead of the Expos. We paid into it even in years we were losing money because of local (media contracts). But I would much rather be paying money than getting it because that means the team is doing well and the attendance is up. We will get in that position again.

I would expect this to take place before February 12.

I would expect this to be primarily about experimentation.

I would expect this sell-off to continue tomorrow. It will be an interesting day in the Internet sector tomorrow. I can guarantee you that.

I would expect this offering to be oversubscribed and (the price range) raised,

I would expect they're going to have real difficulty putting a jury pool together. If people are back in New Orleans, they're going to be rebuilding their homes or businesses or both.
