Fine Quotations | Page 7

Whatever is going to trip the student's trigger is fine with me. If it makes them come to school to want to learn for social reasons... that's a wonderful reason to want to excel.

There is a keen interest in many quarters on concluding before Thanksgiving , and that's a fine target if it can be accomplished, ... But we're going to do it right. We're not going to do it fast.

There is a fine line between when are you injured and when are you in pain. The team just wants you to play. As an athlete you have to look out for your own best interests, which is tough because if you're not playing, they'll say we can't rely on you. But if you play and hurt yourself to the point where you ruin your career, then you're done as well.

There is a fine line between the amount required to create the desired effect and that which leads to a coma.

There is a fine line between being able to control your body and having all that energy. He's learning how to do it. He wants to get a hit so bad that he will do anything it takes. If you told him to stand on his head, he would try it. Sometimes you try to make up for two weeks in one day. It doesn't work that way. You're anxious to get a hit. You're in a hurry to get a hit.

There is a fine line between a political contribution and a bribe, but that fine line is the difference between returning to Congress and going to jail.

There is a fine balance when it comes to work hours, which addresses productivity and quality, the needs of the operation and the employee's desire for overtime.

There is a fine balance to be struck between security and open markets and the U.S. Congress could be about to tip that balance in the wrong direction. National security won't really be enhanced but America's economic security will be damaged as foreign investors are put off and outside expertise lost.

There is going to be the fine balance of water meeting needs.

We've been waiting for one of these, hoping it would kick in. We wanted to play 40 minutes and we did. A lot of people doubted us, but there is a fine line between winning and losing.

We've been trying to emphasize teamwork, and it came out fine today.

We're pretty busy up until the first week in December. It winds down after that because people have other things in their mind, but that's fine with me since I like taking the week off between Christmas and New Year's.

We think he'll be a fine addition. I've always been a fan of his.

We talked a lot and he did play a part in my decision, ... I'm comfortable with the situation. I know I've got to earn my stripes, earn playing time and I'm willing to do that. I'm fine with that.

We're not worried about that at all. We're fine with how we're progressing and we expect that aspect of our football team to continue to improve.

When he was a member of our football team, he was a very fine athlete, had a wonderful personality, very outgoing - just became a member of the family.

When he told me he got kicked out of school for a $100 fine and everything he got kicked out of school for was dropped . . . I think it's unfair.

We've given (the owners) well-thought-out proposals and ( Gary Bettman is) not willing to negotiate. What we've gotten back is just ridiculous. We presented a proposal with hundreds of pages of fine details. What we got back is six concepts and the longest one may have been 230 words and some were 30 words. You know what that is? That's no effort. (Bettman) is not being serious.

We tinkered with disaster there a few times. It was a fast-paced game. That's fine with us. We're versatile enough to play that way.

We are fine moving forward to finalize a deal with or without that deal. We have never felt that deal had to get done first.

We are extremely excited to have Jon return to Brown, ... He is a great leader and will be a fine teacher for our players. Jon was an outstanding player with an incredible work ethic. He is a great role model for our team.

What we want to do is what we've done all year. We aren't going to re-invent the wheel with one day of practice. So we'll focus on what we do today and fine tune a few things. We just want to run our system as well as we can.

What we favor is everybody coming out of the shadows, paying a fine and becoming part of a legal guest-worker program. That would not necessarily take away their right to apply for citizenship, but what it does say is you can be part of a guest-worker program and get in line with everybody else for citizenship.

He's a good young player and he's going to have a fine career. He'll develop like all of our young guys have developed -- at his natural pace. It will happen when it happens.

He's a good kid. Michael, overall, had a fine football game.

He's a fine young man and he's going to be a very good ballplayer.

He's a fine fellow. I've known him a long time. I say they'll never catch him.

He's a fine athlete and I think he's going to be a good quarterback.

He's a guy that if you tell me, 'You've got an injury or whatever and you've got to play Wayne 24 minutes a game,' I'm fine with that.

Here were the tart herbs of plain American speech, the pasture, without the flowers of elocution... the clean rhythms... the irony and the homespun tenderness that, in a fine perforation, reached a sustained exaltation.

Here's to this fine couple. May their joys be as bright as the morning, and their sorrows but shadows that fade in the sunlight of love.

Here's the part that's so prejudiced: The league bases these fines on the players' income. This stuff happens a lot in this league, and all this fine does is encourage people to lie in the future. It's absolutely shocking, ludicrous and any other word you can print.

Good are the Ethics, I wis; good absolute, not for me, though; / Good, too, Logic, of course; in itself, but not in fine weather.

Golf is a fine relief from the tensions of office, but we are a little tired of holding the bag.

He said it bothered him a little bit in San Francisco and then he felt it in his next start. (Trainer Jeff Cooper) thinks he?ll be fine to pitch again this season, but we aren?t sure when.

He's a second-time 20-game winner and you don't hear much about it. Roy himself is not a self-promoter. He's very laid-back. He's very comfortable being in the back room. You have great personalities like the Rocket (Roger Clemens) and (Andy) Pettitte, who have done some wonderful things, so I think (the attention) naturally gravitates in their direction. But Roy has done a fine job for us and he's going to go down as one of the great pitchers in this decade.

He's always living down his past in this franchise, and so are we. So I do think it's a time to kind of break apart and see if he can get a new start somewhere else. I think it's very important for us to put our past behind us and to stop these distractions so that what I think is a fine basketball team can go on.

He's always a bright-side type of guy. He feels he's going to be fine and ready and this is small problem.

He's kind of at a standstill because he has blister problems. We have to see more from him. Last year he got off to a good start, but right now he's a one-pitch pitcher because of the finger problem. So far, he's been fine this Spring Training. I'm not ready to say he's going to be a front-line guy yet. He hasn't made me a believer yet. He has a Major League fastball, though, and it gets on you in a hurry. He's another long-range guy and will be vying for a job at Fort Wayne.

He's just pulled up with a slight groin strain after last week's game, but he should be fine to train at our captain's run on Thursday.

He's been solid since we picked him up. I think someone stepped on his toe or something so that's why he came out of the game. We put a little pad under it, so I think that's why he wasn't able to turn and push but he was fine coming back for the ball. But after that he didn't have that burst that he had in the first half.

He's doing a fine job with that team. But I'm not surprised. I thought all along he would do a good job there because he's an excellent coach. Anytime you go to a new conference there are going to be adjustments. He seems to be making those adjustments well.

He's doing a fine job defensively. The kid works hard.

He's cut around the eye. I guess the bones are fine. They sent him for a CAT scan or whatever, but it sounds like he's just fine and everything's precautionary, so that's real positive.

He's cut around the eye, ... I guess the bones are fine. They sent him for a CAT scan or whatever, but it sounds like he's just fine and everything's precautionary, so that's real positive.

He seems fine. He is going to play quite a bit, but he seems fine right now. He has not complained about it, at least to us. So we are assuming he's going to be ready to play 20 or 30 plays.

He shipped fine and everything is going wonderful.

He should be fine for the game. We need to get rid of the soreness and he should be all right.

He's got the legs (to be a power hitter). We know he can hit the ball to right field, he's got a good eye for the strike zone and he can run and he's making fine progress for a young man who came out of Double-A.

He's got such great bounce and elevation, he shot it on some 6-5 guys and you'd think he was the biggest guy out there. He transitions from dribble into jump shot really well, I mean really well. That kid's going to have a fine career in front of him.

Historically, the software industry has been an industry in which it was fine to have months or years in between product cycles. That is something that has been part of Microsoft's processes as well.

His work is a fine example of contemporary West African art depicting traditional ways of life.

His was a very matter-of-fact approach, where he used very deadpan images, but they pack a lot of punch. He was very good at catching a low moment. It's almost a photojournalism approach, but his work really falls into fine art photography.

Hockey is a confidence game and, when you are hurt, you lose some of that confidence. I'm really looking forward to the playoffs because I missed all those games early. I want to be in fine form and top shape and really have a good postseason.

He's going to have to walk a fine line.

He's going to be a great leader. I'm confident he'll do a fine job.

He's going to be a fine, fine player. It's just a matter of when we clear that spot for him, and do we hold somebody in reserve in case he doesn't do it.

He's fine - he ate up last night and there is not a mark on him. He's totally sound and happy. We will just try and freshen him up now. The owner is coming down on Wednesday and we will discuss it then but the sensible thing to do seems to be give him a bit of a break then start working back towards Cheltenham.

He's fine and this is why we got him.

He's been making plays for them all year. He's a really, really good player. I thought we did a good job in the first quarter, but we dug a hole for ourselves in the second quarter and couldn't get out of it. They had a lot to do with it. They're a mighty fine basketball team.

He's done a fine job. He's got a lot of weapons, which makes it nice, but you still -- no matter what kind of weapons you have -- have to get the ball to them and he's doing that.

Hopefully we can rush the passer a little more and not drop (into coverage) as much. The one down point of last year was everyone saying that we couldn't get enough sacks or pressure on the quarterback. Hopefully with a little fine tuning to our scheme we'll have a little more opportunities to rush the passer instead of dropping.

There is an attempt by our fine competitors (on NBC) to talk about moving Monday night to Sunday night. Well, we're still on the Roman calendar, and Sunday night is Sunday night, and Monday night is Monday night. ... We believe we will still be the marquee, stand-alone NFL event.

We made some fine adjustments before qualifying and the car was really good. It was just a matter of me doing my job and not making any mistakes. They gave me a car that was exactly the way I wanted to drive it. Tomorrow is another day and that is when it gets difficult.

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 absolutely don't think there is a unilateral solution that works. It works fine as a tactical argument, but it isn't going to solve even the immediate problems. I don't think that worsening economic and political conditions in the Palestinian areas are going to be helpful to the Israelis.

He was involved in some of the most difficult moments in PPL history. In the end, he did a very fine job.

He wasn't laboring. It was an easy 99 pitches. He'll be fine for Sunday.

He was our most consistent outside threat. He was a pretty fine defender. He really improved his defense this season.

He was pretty sick for about two days. But he looked like he was fine today.

He was fine today. I would expect that.

He was fine today. He did a great job.

He was fine over the weekend. He was fine when he left on Monday morning to go to the office. He went to the office early because he said he had a lot of work to do. But I wasn't concerned over anything. This took me by surprise.

He was fine out there. There are tougher plays to come.

He was fine last night. He was a little stiff today and got some treatment.

He was fine. In his first game, he swung the bat decently and was fine in the field.

He was such a gentle, fine person. One thing about Zeal ? he didn't want to make people mad.

He was so full of life. He was fine 10 minutes before he collapsed, having the time of his life.

He was saying how loaded this team is and how tough it is finding at-bats for everyone. The guy who's swinging the hot bat will probably decide things a lot, but I told him that playing two out of every three games or something like that is fine with me. Whatever he needs to do to keep guys fresh.

He was really keyed up tonight. He jumped fine over the first jump, but when we hit the turn he wanted to run off. He was jumping nicely the whole way. He never misses any time with his jumps. I didn't expect to be that far in front, but he was going so well. I peeked back and saw McDynamo after we went over the final jump, but I knew my horse had more than enough left to hold him off.

He's perfect to go. He's fine physically to go.

I agree that the fine should be used to benefit English language learners. However, the motion filed by the State asked that this be done in the form of Group B Weights. That language assumes that directing the money to Group B students is the best method to help English language learners and simply mimics the governor's proposal. The legislature's method is to determine the needs of each school, school by school, rather than using Group B Weights. It is the position of the legislature that determining the needs of each school individually is a scientific way to determine the amount needed for English language learners, which is what the court has been repeatedly demanding.

He was a great student and a really fine leader on the basketball court. He directed a lot of what happened, he was very much one of the reasons why we were successful over those six championships.

He was a good pitcher then, and obviously he's more experienced now. He's doing a real fine job.

He was a fine young man. I'm extremely proud to say I'm his uncle.

He was a fine teacher in the classroom. The worst thing that he could have done for me was to retire.

He was a fine referee, but what I am going to remember most is that he was a great human being. He did a tremendous job on the ice, but what he did after he hung up his skates was amazing. He never refused to help an organization. And then there was the many thousands of speeches he made, not only in Montreal and in Quebec, but all across Canada.

He was a fine man. He was a good business man and very independent and supportive of his family.

He was a fine guy, one who brought practical experience to the classroom.

He was a fine gentleman. I've been here since 1973 and I've never seen any trouble with him.

He was a wonderful man and a fine actor, and we will all miss him.

He did some good things. Chris made some fine plays today. We just didn't get enough done.

He did so many things. Not only was he a fine producer, but he was also turning out to be a phenomenal novelist as well as a highly considerable biographer.

He can't sound bullish and he can't sound bearish, ... He has walk a very fine line to justify maintaining this measured status quo.

Guys made shots tonight. It didn't have to be a 'Brandon Roy makes shots down the stretch' night, and that's fine with me.

You have to finish the job. That is how you win. There is a real fine line between winning and losing and it is just about execution. Whether it is offensive execution or defensive execution or making a pitch in a key situation, that is the key to success. Young teams need to figure that out so they know what to put their focus on when the situation arises.

There are some very fine officers on this force but there are also some racist ones and those obviously need to be weeded out.

I was kind of worried about him leaving the ball around the plate and giving up a home run, and all of a sudden he'd lose everything he built for the whole game. He said he was fine and I believe my pitchers.

I was looking forward to it, I love a challenge. I like the fact that a lot of people don't think it is possible. That is fine with me. I want to go out there and not necessarily prove everybody wrong, but go and do something that not many other people have done. It gets me a little more fired up and a little more determined to do so.

Kersten is having a fine tournament. She's getting good looks at the basket and making her shots.
