Group Quotations | Page 2

I swam with my first shark in the 1980s. I was 20 miles off the coast of Rhode Island, working with a group of marine scientists. Late in the day, a 5-foot long blue shark swam into our chum slick. For the next hour, I marveled at the animal's stunning indigo color and the elegant way she moved effortlessly through the sea.

I should point out that I was intimately involved with a group of women here a year and a half ago when there was an effort made by a right wing element in the President's party to get him to turn back the clock.

The Germans have done wonderful work. Not long ago, a German battle group battalion conducted a very impressive counterinsurgency operation in a portion of Baghlan province. I think these are the first counterinsurgency operations conducted by any German element after World War II. And they did a very impressive job.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

The visible things that have come from the group have been the Plan 9 system and Inferno, but I hasten to say that the ideas and the work have come from colleagues.

My aunt is the director of the acapella group Black Voices. I was so struck by them as a child. They sang with such passion and conviction. By the time I turned 15, I had plucked up the courage to ask if I could join the group. Acapella is a different discipline from singing with an accompaniment - it is much more exposed.

To the small group of editors and designers who would launch Wired in January 1993, technology represented the future's best hope; but to the media, the tech boom was yesterday's story.

While I circled around and around in my brown rental skates, I studied a group of skaters spinning in the center. I was fascinated! When my mom picked me up, I began a campaign for skating lessons.

Just because a group does not take its decisions by voting does not mean they have no understanding of the essence of democracy.

One of the cool things we're seeing at TaskRabbit is local tech and gaming startups hiring TaskRabbits to test their products and deliver immediate user feedback. As the founder of a tech startup, I can tell you that this type of focus group testing is paramount - and usually really pricey and difficult to coordinate.

I think that crime is a good vehicle for looking at society in general because the nature of the crime novel means that you draw on a wide group of social possibilities.

I like Kelly Rowland, I think that she's great. It's hard to come out of the group of Destiny's Child and still kick some butt.

I have a reputation worldwide of being tolerant of all people and their views. I'm too well-educated to criticize a certain religion or group of people for what they believe in. It's called freedom.

Since the moment I could hold a pencil, I have spent nearly all day every day writing. And there is not an age group that I have not written for. You can read me from birth 'til death.

I am lucky because I get to work with the smartest, most creative, and most devoted group of students and postdoctoral fellows imaginable.

In South Africa, being Chinese meant I wasn't white and I wasn't black. I trained in Baragwanath Hospital, the largest black hospital in South Africa. That was around 1976, the time of the Soweto Uprising, when police fired on children and students who were protesting. I was part of the group of interns who volunteered to treat them.

But I do think the survey group - and I think Charlie Duelfer is a great leader. I have the utmost confidence in Charles. I think you will get as full an answer as you can possibly get.

I listen to a lot of '80s stuff, like 'Owner of a Lonely Heart,' by the group Yes. And Mr. Mister's 'Broken Wings.'

We were going to have to experiment, and we needed to develop our younger players. And a lot of the changes were because of injuries. But that's where I give a lot of credit to the group in terms of being able to maintain things.

Religion is often just tribalism: pride in a group one was born into, a group that is often believed to have 'God' on its side.

There are a group of people who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get along, but that's not going to be very helpful for us in the long run, in terms of solving our problems. And somebody has to be courageous enough to actually stand up to, you know, the bullies.

I have a philosophy that white people would be interested in Native Americans because, first of all, it's probably the only group as a country we all study and know the history and then never study again past the age of 10. So I think we have these things we believe are true, that are just not true about what an audience wants.

It's for scientists to lay out the data and lay out what they think, and then it's for the public to make up its own mind. We don't live in a priesthood where some small group imposes its views on other people - that's not the way that science works, and it's not the way a democratic society should work.

One thing I'm hearing a lot is from teachers who have felt that there's something wrong with the extreme group learning, but felt like they couldn't say that out loud. And apparently the discussion is now opening up. I think change is going to be a long time coming.

Modern buildings of our time are so huge that one must group them. Often the space between these buildings is as important as the buildings themselves.

The Chinese began with the assumption that the group is the fundamental unit of reality. Individuals? Sure, we can factor them out from their groups, but let us not think that they as individuals have any viability apart from their group.

Until you win a series, it's difficult to place yourself in that elite group of great Lions players. It's not enough to produce one-off performances or be nearly-men.

When a business group tells us there is nothing wrong with the environment, naturally they may have good arguments, but we are also sceptical, because we know that they have an interest in these things.

I like to just make things... If I have the TV on, I'm not just going to sit there. I want to do something with my hands; I've always got a project. Or I get a small group of people over, and I say, 'Let's make these things today.'

In the not so distant past, we were close enough to our community to physically see how our actions impacted the group overall. Now it's just too easy to look the other way, or turn off the TV or computer and detach ourselves from the others.

A company is a group organized to create a product or service, and it is only as good as its people and how excited they are about creating. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. I just happen to be the face of the companies.

The United Kingdom has traditionally been a very small market, and even though you had such a creative group of designers, they represented a risk to department stores.

I believe in singing to such an extent that, if I were asked to redesign the British educational system, I would start by insisting that group singing becomes a central part of the daily routine. I believe it builds character and, more than anything else, encourages a taste for cooperation with others.

A research group found that 56 percent of major companies surveyed in the late '80s agreed that 'employees who are loyal to the company and further its business goals deserve an assurance of continued employment.' A decade later, only 6 percent agreed. It was in the '90s that companies started weeding people out as a form of cost reduction.

In junior high, I really wanted to be popular. Suddenly there were parties with boys, and I wanted to be part of that. There was a group of girls, and I wanted to be friends with them.

I like not being noticed. It has been a struggle because I love performing, but if I'm in a group of people and someone has a bigger personality, I'm like, 'Go ahead, and have fun!'

Everyone one-on-one will be completely honest about the music that they listen to. But then you get into a group situation, and then it's the cool/uncool debate. I have really done my very best to reinforce the very fact that your heart knows better than your head does what you like when it comes to music and what not.

I think television goes through phases, like other creative arts, where suddenly a group of people are producing exciting work all at once.

If two scientists are giving their papers at a symposium, and one of them is just naturally better at talking to the public or talking to a group of people, that scientist is liable to get more attention - in fact, I'm told that they do get more attention - than the one who's a little more stiff about it. Well, that's not good for science.

Gun Owners of America is a lobby group dedicated to the proposition that the National Rifle Association is a bunch of accommodationist sissies.

If a Jewish group sat down with a Christian conservative group, and there was a so-called Messianic Jew at the table, that would be the end of the meeting.

The power of a focus group lies in its ability to leverage multiple channels of communication and thought. When you buckle down and really explore the many facets of a possible innovation to the organization, you are more able to make well thought-out decisions.

The personality of this group is it's a hardworking, blue-collar defense. It's as hard a working group that I've been around.

The personal attacks and the attacks on the group are inappropriate.

The perceived conduct of Vision House owner Michael O'Sullivan is counterproductive for offenders under community supervision, so I must relocate this small group to more appropriate housing.

We applaud Compass Group North America for its leadership. Its commitment, and a similar decision by major food retailer Wal-Mart, is a significant step toward transformation of the seafood market in ways that support sustainable fisheries and healthy ocean ecosystems.

We are proud to be in a position to offer these funds to the community. Personally, I'm honored to represent this group of vintners who lend a hand whether it be for Hurricane Katrina relief or to help a neighbor in need.

We are proud to be doing business with such an exceptional group of financial institutions. The willingness of our banks to provide these credit facilities demonstrates their confidence in our business model and provides us with strong financial backing as we continue to pursue our development opportunities.

We are pleased with the solid first quarter (ended December 31) result with beer volume and overall group earnings in line with our business plan, giving us confidence that we are on track for our full year profit guidance.

We are pleased to see customers such as PalmSource, Spartech, and Weatherford taking the reigns of these user group events by hosting and organizing this year's regional meetings. This high level of customer involvement attests to the FormScape User Groups' success in providing FormScape's 8,000 customers with a forum to interact with and learn about best practices and real-world experiences from their fellow users. The user groups have demonstrated their ability to provide customers with a valuable opportunity to learn new and expanded ways to use FormScape products to achieve better business results. Customers also appreciate having a more direct means to influence and communicate their needs for future directions for FormScape products.

We've all kind of built the department together and they are such a talented group. It is going to be hard for this group of kids to be done because they have been going non-stop for three years.

We've acted properly in this office, ... I understand the pressures and I understand this group just wants to pay less taxes. If you want to be an assessor and can't take the heat, don't do the job.

We started to get loosened up there in the second half and that really made the game different. The kids shared the ball well, and they had fun. They were just a great group of kids.

We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. I think it's probably a good thing. We're the ones who talk about AIDS when it was just being whispered, and we talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular. This Academy, this group of people gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when blacks were still sitting in the backs of theaters. I'm proud to be a part of this Academy.

We are a landlord. There's a creative difference between Blue Man Group and every other show in Vegas. Plus they have a track record in cities around the U.S.

We are a group of people that got together and decided to commit ourselves to making sure that the Rivas family needs are meet.

We are a group of medical professionals, but this is not medicine. Just because it is a procedure we do does not mean it is right.

We are a good group of guys and we play well together. We're very close. A lot of us have been here for three years, so we've spent a lot of time together.

We believe that the G8 countries could contribute more substantially to the Eurasian Group in a similar way to FATF.

We believe that somewhere around age 20, we'll begin to see low-lead exposed individuals surpass high-lead exposed individuals in bone mass density. Then, in the 50 to 60 age group ? the age at which any individuals will begin to experience a natural loss of bone ? we expect to see the high-lead exposed individuals losing more bone sooner.

We strongly condemn the rebel group ... for endangering the civilian population and ... making it difficult, if not impossible, for aid workers.

We stopped the picket line because I was having a hard time getting a regular group of guys there,

We still miss Todd, especially. He had something the kids really listened to. This year's group (of seniors), they're working hard at that but they're just not quite there yet, not with as many young kids as we have now. Aaron's really helping in that regard.

We're in bigger markets now than when we first started, but the right ownership group and the right venue are more important than population size. The NBA hasn't put a timetable on going to 30 (development league) teams yet. We're always on the lookout for markets that make sense and we try to fish out and see if there are any interested groups.

We're in a situation now where we're starting to get a little healthier and that's light at the end of the tunnel. The group that we have is really making a great effort to do what they can to help us win. Right now, win or lose, I know our fans know what's really important to them and that's the energy level and the unselfishness on the court. We had that for the last six or seven games and that's something we have to build on.

We started off a little up and down. But then things started to come together. This group is really team oriented and they knew what they needed to do.

We started all the seniors today. They played really well as a group for pretty much the first quarter. The rest of the team came in and kept the intensity up. I felt like we played well.

We stand by those numbers, because those numbers have been reflected in other polls nationally. Opposition to the amendment ran across every region of the state, every age group and (Republicans, Democrats and Independents).

We spoke out on the grass to a group of people, consoled them, let them know we understood this was a traumatic, life-changing situation. Some had tremendous reservations about relocating to a state they knew nothing about.

We spent the last four days in small group meetings continuing to review and negotiate various systemic and economic issues. The two sides will resume small group discussions on Monday in Toronto.

Where's a group that really deserves something? Veterans.

When you've had a group like we've had, you can kind of have some liberty about adjusting quickly and knowing that it's going to be done with discipline,

We appreciate those who have volunteered to assist in the recovery efforts throughout our state and we welcome other volunteers. We encourage them to affiliate with a group who will match an individual's skills with productive projects, to make the most of their time here.

We're not going to rule out the playoffs until we're mathematically eliminated. I know the players would hate to hear this, but I'd love to go to training camp with this group of guys right now and start the season all over again.

There is no question the Canadian men's team is under heavy pressure, but pressure is the essence of events such as the Olympics. Today, a group of young athletes handled the pressure very well.

There is no question that there is a greater propensity to travel across all segments -- leisure, group and business.

There is no question that Australia's most dramatic assault on the world market has been with its value wines. These are generally not from specific appellations but blends made by huge enterprises like Penfolds, Rosemount or Casella Estate - the group behind Yellow Tail.

There is no nuclear- or radiation-monitoring program targeting mosques or other places of gathering by Muslim or any other particular group of citizens.

Until now, we've been a group of buildings surrounded by parking lots, ... Now the garden brings all the buildings together and gives us a real presence and identity.

We'd like to get a group started here. And we're looking for a few adults to help out. Former military would be great, but they don't have to be.

We're more focused on a first group and a second group now. It's really evolved over practice. They know what I expect and what it takes now to compete.

We're modern-day gladiators, that mental toughness, if you will, is really important to have in a good team. It's got to permeate your team and there has to be a core group of guys that buy in and believe in that.

We're modern-day gladiators, and that mental toughness is really important to have (in) a good team. It's got to permeate your team, and there has to be a core group of guys that buy in and believe in that.

We're making a show about a particular group of people. We don't try to maintain an outlaw status, but they are outlaws.

We're so proud of what he's done. He really unified this group and became the quarterback of this group and the leader of this defense in a short period of time. My hat's off to him.

We're going to miss those seniors who left. They were a great group of kids, but I think we'll be able to move on. When you sit down and think about it, we were really young last year and played a lot of sophomores.

We're going to fill up all of our buses, and hopefully, we'll bring them up and if we have to go back down there and pick up another group of people, we'll just keep going until they don't need our help anymore.

What this group of seniors has accomplished in this athletic program is ridiculous. They are just fantastic.

What this group has managed to do is not let anything get in the way of their goals in qualifying and winning games. We miss a player due to an injury or a suspension, they don't blink an eye, they just move forward. If they're in games where the officiating may be a little bit questionable, it doesn't bother them. They just keep their concentration and get after the task at hand.

What this group has gone through since Jan. 4 (the day Bob Weiss was fired as coach), they need another week after the All-Star break. The losing wears on you. They need the break, there is no question about it.

What this group has been through since Jan. 4, they need another week after the All-Star break. I'm sure they're tired. They need a break, there's no question about it.

What this bill does in its heart is allow one group of people to affect education and taxes of other people without their input.

What they're doing is switching to a proven act. This is a group with a pedigree. I would think the stations involved are very happy about this.

Whenever one or two people think they want a study group or discussion - boom - you've got a class. And that's what makes SAGE so great. They're drawing on personal experiences. Been there, done that.

When we drew Brazil there was a group of Australians who began to cheer as if we had just won 3-0.

When we have received assurances that Juan Miguel will be able to take custody of his son, but under circumstances that require him to remain in this country for a period of time, we will also be seeking permission for a support group of Elian's classmates, teachers and doctors to come to the United States to help smooth the transition,

When we got them together for the first time on the field, ... and had Woodley throwing on one side to a group of receivers and Marino on the other, it was so evident the ability Dan had throwing the football. Woodley was an athlete playing quarterback and Marino was a quarterback playing quarterback. You could just look at it and see, even in the simplest passing drills, that Marino had that great skill.

When we get into fall, we'll have a group of guys that contribute. And those guys will all be lumped in there.

What has been amazing to me is how this group has helped one another along the way, making suggestions, adding dialogue, and showing teamwork. They've taken ownership of this production.

What has become clear is this really isn't about protecting kids. This is about changing television. A politically active, savvy group of Americans has figured out a way to make TV in their own image.
