Leaving Quotations | Page 5

I am very excited about the opportunity to become a head coach, and it's even more special to have this opportunity at my alma mater. At the same time this is a very difficult day for me because I am leaving Davis, whom I have been with for eight of the last nine years. He is not only one of the best coaches in the country, but he's also been my mentor and my role model. He is the reason I am the coach and the person I am today.

I am so pleased to be joining Arsenal, a club I have admired for a long time. Coming to Arsenal will give me the opportunity to work with world-class players every day and play football at the highest possible level. It is a strange day because I am also very sad to be moving from Southampton. I am leaving many friends and some great coaches who have been so important to my career so far, but I leave with many great memories from the club. I am now really looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and working hard as an Arsenal player.

I apologize to my former teammates and coaches for leaving at midyear. I feel I can best deal with some personal problems closer to home that have been weighing on me over the last few months. I wish KU the best the rest of the season.

Because they're capable of doing it. And obviously I think the other team would be the first one to tell you, they're not pitching like they can or like they need to. They're probably leaving balls up over the plate. We're getting some balls to hit, and we're hitting them.

I love coming here. I love racing here, and I love leaving here. Then it's behind me and the stress is gone. It's a tough track. Anything can happen.

I felt great. I knew I was leaving and I wanted to leave on a good note. Hopefully I'll be back to finish this.

I felt I wasn't moving my feet too well, ... Once I was in it, I started moving my feet a little better, going after it a little more, just trying to take it into my hand. At the start, I felt like I was pushing and leaving it in his hands, and he took advantage.

I feel with leaving office I will enter a new realm of great freedom than I have had ... and I will speak more freely,

If I remember correctly, we had some questions leaving camp last year. No matter how good you are - and we have to prove we're good - there are going to be questions.

I feel extremely privileged to have had such a wonderful experience with MTVN Asia Pacific, one of the most amazing companies in one of the most amazing industries anywhere in the world. I have also loved being part of helping to build the companys network of channels around the world. After seven fantastic years in Europe and 11 in Asia Pacific, I will be leaving the company at the end of this year to focus on family priorities in Australia.

If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great.

I feel like I'm leaving a U2 concert,

I did music when I was leaving high school and going to college. I had to make a decision between football and music. I started playing pro ball four years ago. It's been really hard to manage both of them. If you focus on one thing, you'll do better. I put music on the back burner, hopefully one day ... I may pursue it.

I can't see us leaving Stamford Bridge in the near future.

I fought as an infantry Marine on one of the Vietnam War's harshest battlefields. After leaving the Marine Corps, I studied law and found a fulfilling career as an author and journalist. But again and again, I came back to the personal fulfillment that can only come from public service.

I found out the next day, after I'd gone public that I wasn't going to run, that the city manager probably wasn't coming back and so I decided to stay in the race. With Jared leaving and a new mayor coming in, I believed it could be a benefit for me to stay.

Given the fact that not one analyst currently has a 'buy' rating on Gateway stock, I think Mr. Inouye leaving Gateway is good news for shareholders. The company has successfully cut costs, but now it's time for them to focus on increasing shareholder value.

Given that they haven't said off the record or on the record that they are going to clarify this, leaving it unclear will and already has had a chilling effect on employees' interactions with the public.

Founders are not people who walk away, leaving their babies with somebody else. Scott making an announcement like this is one thing and letting Jon run the company is another.

When buying a franchise, you should carefully review the fees, the long hours, the financial commitment and the terms of ending the franchise agreement if things don't work out.

If an employee is leaving a lot of money on the table, he will think twice about leaving the company.

If a company bids enough, it can exclude all other competitors, leaving airlines with only one possible supplier and passengers with no choice. Experience shows that if a company has the chance to buy a monopoly license, it will pay a premium for it. That is because it allows them, with one fell swoop, to ensure that competitors will not be able to keep prices down or force them to innovate.

I explained I was leaving the matter in Mr. Ashcroft's hands.

I always said I'd be here for four years. I never said I was leaving in three or two years. I'm going to be here playing basketball.

He was walking on the side of the road in the grass, facing traffic and pretty much doing whatever he's supposed to be doing. Nothing about my brother is going to justify someone hitting him and leaving him on the side of the road. She certainly never gave him a chance.

He takes the crooked path of the unrighteous way; leaving the straight and narrow path, he weaves his way backwards.

Greg really battled and made some great pitches to get out of some jams. The bases were loaded against him without the ball leaving the infield and it didn't affect him. He stepped up and showed his maturity and poise as a pitcher.

What do you gain by leaving someone in a very sensitive position for so many years?

What makes some red in the face is that (Greenspan) can speak about Fed policy and the economy just days after leaving the Fed, when his insights are most relevant. Look at Eurodollar futures today if you have any doubt.

Within the next couple of weeks, I'll be leaving North America to relocate permanently to Geneva, where many of the United Nations human rights mechanisms are based,

We took it as a negative that Mark was leaving and we still think it is. Some of that was mitigated with Marty taking over, but I'd certainly rather have both executives in the company instead of just one.

When he was leaving Celtic, Gordon Strachan said to me: 'You'll not work with a better centre forward'.

We've got to score easier. We're defending at a high level, playing with lots of effort, but we're just not scoring. We're leaving so many opportunities out there on the floor.

We thought we were ready leaving Spring Training. We were playing very good and swinging the bat good and everybody thought they were where they needed to be.

Her post was a personal appointment by the secretary-general and she is leaving a few months early.

Here we're talking about somebody who was considered for civil commitment - a high-risk offender who is going to need intensive treatment and monitoring well after leaving the center - but there is nothing in the law that accounts for that.

Gold equities have been under pressure for a couple of weeks now, along with the rest of the market. There's a couple of reasons for that. Gold has had a great run for the first six months of this year. Investors are now thinking that they have some profits in these stocks, so they're taking it and leaving it in cash.

He's already showing an amazing attention to detail. I went out and spent two days with him when he was making his final decision, and by the end of the second day as a I was leaving he showed me a copy of our schedule, and he'd already penciled in all the practice times and team flight times for the entire year.

He should stop his dancing around in California while leaving us to deal with all the crap here.

His statements have set up a pause at the June meeting after they move in May. That doesn't mean we are done. He's leaving the door open to resume hikes at subsequent meetings.

He's been lying from the minute we started talking to him. Him leaving with the johnnie just added to the fact. We can't lock someone up for being shot.

Unless we put a purple stamp on the forehead of every freshman and have security at every door, we cannot keep them from leaving at lunch.

He wasn't leaving a lot of stuff over the plate.

He was so smooth, and, obviously, he was leaving everybody in the dust. At soccer, he was good, but not great.

I was leaving ... Cobalt nightclub, ... And on my way to my limousine ... a fight broke out way up past my limousine. We saw it, I grabbed my people, we hopped in my truck, we left. While we're driving off, we heard gun shots. We left the scene, and that is basically it.

I was leaving balls up, and they hit them out of the ball park.

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.

Kids love to be scared; we all do. But there's a difference between leaving them hanging out there, with their fears, and then bringing them safely home. Kids love it when someone like them stands up against real evil, something really horrendous and frightening, and win.

I would say that our finally getting a new theater is more likely than not. There are still hurdles to jump, and it will take a great deal of work to bring it to completion, but the excitement of achieving it also adds enormously to the appeal of the job. I feel comfortable leaving City Opera in other hands,

Kenny came up huge in the end. He was the guy they were leaving open and he hit that one shot with a little bit of luck, then the second one was dead center and he hit the free throws.

Kenny came up huge in the end. He was the guy that they were leaving open.

I think that Pickens County will do their best to address the facility needs and the teacher salary needs. And I think in five years we will be very competitive in those two areas. But even so, with the number of teachers retiring and leaving the profession I think it's going to be an issue statewide as well as nationally.

I was definitely surprised at how open they were leaving us. We were capitalizing on their mistakes.

I thought the key was he was just a little late getting out of his glove. Mechanically, he was leaving the ball up. I didn't want him to get off to a bad start. Dustin (Sasser) went out (Saturday night) and left the ball up. I just told him, 'Keep the ball down and lets get it going.

I thought that Tyrone Marshall leaving the game was a big loss for us because I think he was holding the middle of the defense quite well for us. When he left we lost the middle of the defense.

It had become quite material to them, they have a large capital-expenditure program coming up. They're still obviously pleased with the performance of the company and obviously leaving on very good terms.

I think that when a film does its job, it poses questions rather than gives answers. It should act as a frustrating counselor who, at your bidding for advice, says, 'What do you think?' I think that's some of what the culture critic Greg Tate meant by art leaving a 'metaphysical stain.'

It is never easy leaving Liverpool but if you are going to a big club that helps - and Aston Villa is a big club,

I think there are some obvious ones. Everyone knows that Cleveland wanted him. Dallas had put an offer out on him a couple years ago. Everybody knows that George Karl (Nuggets and former Bucks coach) is still in this game. Reggie Miller is leaving Indiana, and he's a two (guard). Those are just four teams off the gate.

I think Sweden is known for people being a bit more quiet than other cultures, and I guess it's a mixture: shyness and leaving room for other people to talk. Of course, when people get drunk, all of that disappears.

Jeff's leadership created a focus and energy on aligning Sunkist growers and packers with the changing demands of the marketplace -- from the end consumer to key retail and foodservice customers. He also was instrumental in the development of the California Citrus Growers Association to align the citrus industry in the west to grow the category. Jeff built a great management team and is leaving Sunkist in good hands.

Jim and I go back a long way. I was 22 and working on an offshore oil rig, 14 days on and 14 days off, and I shared an apartment with Jim in New York. He was trying to make his way as a musician. I always enjoyed his singing and playing, but I finally figured out how good he really was when I answered the phone one day, and it was Roland White leaving a message for Jim asking him if he was available to play a gig.

Kohler was huge for us in the early going. They went to a 1-3-1 with a chaser on Frank and Welsh so they were leaving Nate open on the perimeter. I told him he would have to step up and make some shots and he did. He obviously does not play like a freshman.

I said 'George, if you want to end world tyranny, you have to stay up later.' Nine o'clock and Mr. Excitement here is in bed, leaving me to watch 'Desperate Housewives' with Lynne Cheney. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife.

I said that we would evaluate our situation and if personnel changes needed to be made, we would make them, at whatever position. I did not specify any position or anybody, and that's what I'm leaving it at. OK?

People are beginning to feel like the boat is leaving the dock -- there is a lot of money on the sidelines. The bottom line is we are transitioning from a bear mood to a bull mood, but it doesn't go straight up. Bear markets stink, but it creates very good opportunities for intermediate to long-term investors.

People are leaving for the same reasons they always have: they want more space and freedom.

People are running out of money. They thought they were leaving for a few days of unplanned vacation. Then it was, 'I'll need to extend my stay by a few days.' And now, they don't know when they'll be able to go home or what they'll be going home to. They're starting to look for schools and jobs and transitional housing. ... It's almost like they've been through a war.

Our kids battled back. I give credit where credit's due, but you won't win many games by giving up seven runs in the first two innings, and leaving 13 runners on base.

Our hypothesis is that young adults are more vulnerable to poor health practices than teenagers because they are leaving the more protective environments of home and school.
