Frankly Quotations | Page 2

It is a strange market at the moment and frankly I am surprised that the rise we've seen earlier in the week from the Ukraine-Russia dispute is still there. People still feel a bit shaky about what happened in Russia and Ukraine, and with Sharon ill and some uncertainty in Israel.

I see a lot of people come in quite frankly for two reasons. The new home communities are going to be built here for some time. And we're still one of the best-priced areas in the Bay Area.

That (a badger cull) is not a debate. Frankly this is going to happen.

Longer term, it's not healthy for the industry, and frankly it's not sustainable,

I think frankly the Fed might even raise rates maybe 25 basis points, but that should be it, I think, for the rest of the year. And the market should breathe a huge sigh of relief that, plus the strong earnings reports for the second quarter. For example, operating earnings are supposed to be up 18-to-20 percent. So certainly the ingredients for a good strong summer and early fall rally are in place.

I suppose the best advice I ever got, frankly the advice that changed my life, came from my uncle who told me to go to drama school and study acting instead of taking a job, because he said the job would always be there.

We have taken this further than we've ever had in the past, than we've gone in the past, and so we'd like to see if we can get to an agreement. And, we're not there yet, frankly speaking. We're definitely not there. We do have substantial differences, but I think no one is quite ready to say we cannot get there, so I think there is a desire to keep on going.

We have a lot of people already calling us for information. They can call 1-800-GET-INFO, but quite frankly it is very difficult to get through. We've had probably 200 calls already.

We have been unable to reach an explanation on the complete authenticity of the e-mail message. I would frankly like to apologize for Nagata having made such assertive questions based on such information.

The PCB will decide whether to file the appeal or not but frankly speaking I am very disheartened because I have tried hard to remove any defects in my action and I have still not been cleared completely.

We beat 'em and quite frankly we'll beat 'em again if we need to. They're crying like little babies.

To me, this is an issue for the French people. They seemed very concerned about it, and frankly I don't care what they think. And I don't think Lance does either.

This to us is a gratifying accomplishment to be here. But it's certainly not the culmination of what we feel is our season, or the culmination of what we are hoping to do as a program. This is just the start. We talked about this after the selection show. It's great to have the opportunity to compete in the national tournament and be here to play. But frankly for us, it's one step in what we hope is a longer stay in the tournament.

The President himself is frankly more than a little irritated and would like to see a lot of cooperation from Taiwan.

There are animals that you cannot legally own without a permit in Virginia, and frankly permitting them would only be done (in terms of) research, scientific study, or as an exhibitor or educator. Even then, that list of animals that are on (the list), that would be closely scrutinized before anybody would be permitted to have them.

What's in it for them ? who knows? Maybe they just feel it's a chance to weaken the ACT Party and Rodney who would be a nuisance, he's a formidable person... frankly from the point of view of self interest it's almost like nuisance litigation.

Twenty-five billion frankly doesn't surprise me. In the U.S. alone, right now there are about 3 million users who would potentially be affected. One million of those are government and law-enforcement workers who would presumably be exempt -- so, say, 2 million people who are essentially addicted to their Blackberries, and without them their business would basically evaporate.

To indicate that Proof pulled the trigger is reckless and quite frankly it will be proved to be untrue.

As I see it, the most effective way to do this is frankly to accept these historical tales for what they are now known to be - folklore - and treat them in such a fashion that the realistic-minded, sophisticated people of our generation accept them...

The results frankly were a shock, ... We can see human fingerprints all over atmospheric methane emissions for at least the last 2,000 years. Humans have been an integral part of Earth's carbon cycle for much longer than we thought.

The world's most avid amateur beer enthusiasts participated, ... Because of their amateur status there were no minced words in the reviews -- beers were rated frankly and freely.
