Led Quotations | Page 10

Every day, I hear a song and I think, 'This would be great to cover on Glee.' I like Led Zeppelin, of course, and Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains.

Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.

As the record shows, I have supported every one of President Bush's nominees in the Judiciary Committee and on the Senate floor. I have never and would never apply any litmus test on the abortion issue and, as the record shows, I have voted to confirm Chief Justice (William) Rehnquist, Justice (Sandra Day) O'Connor, and Justice (Anthony) Kennedy and led the fight to confirm Justice (Clarence) Thomas.

a stable government for this country, as quickly as possible. A government led by Gerhard Schroeder.

A tour of the Mexico City of Diego Rivera and Frieda Kahlo led by Barbara Kingsolver would be nice. And I certainly wouldn't turn down a tour of Johannes Vermeer's Delft led by Tracey Chevalier.

Did President Clinton lie when he discussed the intelligence that led him to support the forced ouster of Saddam Hussein?

Dick understood economic trends, and he understood what the paper needed to do to stay on top. He also made sure you understood what needed to be done. But it wasn't hard to comply with Dick's wishes. He led by example.

Devon is a very versatile player. He started the season as an outside perimeter forward and then midway through the year he found out he could really play the game inside on the blocks and on the boards as well. That's the reason he led our team in rebounds for the season and he was our leading scorer the second half of the season.

Corporate governance mandates, new business practices and recently created regulatory agencies have made this a dynamic time for accounting and finance professionals at all levels, and have led to new opportunities and challenges. To succeed in this environment, accountants must go beyond their traditional roles of simply delivering financial data. Rather, they will need to discuss the implications of this data in the broad context of compliance and how it impacts other areas of the business.

Craig definitely led us today, dominating the post.

Cree has focused significant sales efforts during the past several years toward the large and dramatically growing LED community in Asia. Cree Asia- Pacific is now investing in a new headquarters facility and expert personnel to deepen Cree's commitment to its Asian customers.

Crude gained a lot last week and we are giving some of that back. The U.S. led a large attack in Iraq last week, one that wasn't unprecedented, but the media got a hold of it and the market reacted.

And this led to an observation decades ago -- which was key -- that adult lamprey must be selective in how they pick streams, ... They only pick a few, and if you remove the larvae they don't seem to go in there.

And we had thought that our hard climb out of that cruel valley led to some cool, green, and peaceful, sunlit place but it's all jungle here, a wild and savage wilderness that's overrun with ruins.

Drew, when he said something, it was important. But he was more of a quiet leader that led by the way he worked. And that's a heck of a way to do it. I'm a little bit more vocal and excited and emotional type of leader. And that way works too.

During a conversation with Barr, indicators led troopers to believe criminal activity was present.

Erik has performed well for the Hurricanes and we are happy to have him signed, ... He led his team in Germany to the league championship last season and also performed well for coach Laviolette at the World Championships.

Escapism, we are led to believe, is evidence of a deficiency in character, a certain failure of temperament, and like so many -isms, it is to be strenuously avoided. 'How do you expect to get ahead?,' people ask. But the question altogether misses the point. The escapist doesn't want to get ahead. He simply wants to get away.

During the late 1970s and early 1980s, high prices led companies to overproduce, leading to substantial excess supply and stockpiling.

Five of the top reformers were from Eastern Europe, led by Serbia and Montenegro,

Fitz led us to a lot of great people over the years. We always used to talk about Pittsburgh. He was born in Penn Hills and grew up watching Bill Burns.

First time around they were talking about charges that were purely restructuring, and now about half are operating charges. It indicates some severe problems that are creating a completely different picture at the company than we had been led to believe. It calls into question what's going to happen in following years.

There's probably 15 or 16 offensive categories, if you want to be a baseball junkie. I may have led in 10 or 12 of them. I think being a balanced player and saving a lot of runs on the defensive side was a major factor. Ortiz is an unbelievable offensive player.

There was a lot of emotion in that first game and it led to this game. We crumbled when we played them down there. They made a run at us again, but this time we held them off.

There was a connection between the leadership and the led . . . a sense of, 'we're in this together.

There's something inside Lacey that led him to think this was an adversary group before he ever had a serious conversation with members of the staff.

There's no doubt that these are big players. This could be a significant first step in closing them down. These groups are led by dominant, charismatic personalities and when you pull the plug on them, it has a collapsing effect on all segments.

The town should defend itself when it's done something correct. In this instance I believe the judgment that went into the decision was flawed and that led to the lawsuit. In this instance, if we had made the decision in a different way and a little more appropriate, then we wouldn't be defending ourselves. It is a big expense, I believe $450 an hour.

The trend of increased state revenues has resulted in a level of financial flexibility not seen in the sector over the past five years, and is helping many states restore structural budgetary balance and begin to rebuild reserves. In addition to the tax-reduction measures, this revenue growth has also led to new funding initiatives for education, transportation, infrastructure, and other areas that had been restrained from 2001-2004.

The United States has led in all these things, been in the vanguard of the development of the techniques. So it seems to me that the United States should not be thought of as dragging its foot on environmental quality, but rather questioning the appropriateness of a treaty that has never been submitted to the Senate for debate and consideration.

I started to think about what drives innovation and what its social significance might be. The next step was to think innovators are taking a leap into the unknown. That led me to the thought that it is also a source of fun and employee engagement.

I sometimes think about how he became president. Like, about how him leading the war led to the presidency.

I see that no four man or five man led the team in scoring, except for one game last year. I see myself taking that load instead of having the guards have to do all the work.

I've been in trade negotiations for more than 20 years now. You know when someone wants some more of you, or when they are just reciting their case. What we heard yesterday was just a re-recitation of their proposal. It led me to the conclusion that they are setting the bar very high on industrial goods, because they don't even want to talk about agriculture.

It would have led to the deputies' understanding that this was an injured person, not someone who was intoxicated.

It wouldn't surprise us at all if he led our team in rebounding as a freshman. He just has a knack for making big plays but he approaches the game as if he doesn't have a scholarship. He's old school.

Things all came together in this witch's brew, and it led to a lot of poor investment decisions. You give people too much money, and they start placing bad bets.

The world's poor cannot be led by people like Mr. bin Laden who think they can find their redemption in our destruction. But the world's rich cannot be led by people who play to our short-sided selfishness and pretend that we can forever claim for ourselves what we deny to others.

These are some of the hardest working kids I've ever seen. Casey, Sean Michael and Dean have all led the way. It's been very exciting so far. One thing that has also been great is the coaching staff. Everyone is full of energy, and that's important to the kids.

The road that led me to literature was very different from the one followed by my fellow writers in Poland.

There will never ever be a government led by an Indian, ever in Fiji.

The Ryder Cup, with the world's premier golfers putting it all on the line for national pride, is essentially the Olympics of golf. In our 15 years of broadcasting the event, we have been blessed with some extremely exciting competitions that have led to such dramatic broadcasts.

The root causes remain to identify and that will continue to be our focus. We're looking at all of the decisions that led up to this accident.

I've never seen Tony Dixon work like he has this past off-season. He led all the drills. He was in the weight room. He was even there when he wasn't scheduled to be.

It was almost identical to the way we played them at home -- we led the whole game and they came back and won. It was a packed house there. ... It was like a playoff-type atmosphere to play in.

It was a little hard for me at first: I remember coming in with a ton of ideas, and I wanted to present them all, and they wanted to hear them, but at the same time, they almost didn't want to hear them. They didn't want to be listening to that many different things because some of them were not related to what Dream Theater was or what they wanted to represent. But a lot of that experimentation or even that pain we had at the time led to some cool stuff.

These concerns also led to a reduction in speculative long positions in the futures market, resulting in less speculative support for spot prices.

These attempts, and many, many more ... have led to widespread concern about our courts, ... In America, conservatives are winning the battle of ideas on almost every front.

These results contain two very good pieces of news for the millions of Americans who have elevated blood pressure. Our previous research showed that making multiple lifestyle changes -- eating a healthier diet and increasing physical activity -- for a short-term period of six months led to significant reductions in blood pressure. Now we know that sustaining these lifestyle changes for the longer period of 18 months also leads to substantial blood pressure reductions. This is very good news because the longer people can keep their blood pressure down, the better it is for their heart health. The other good news is that this study shows that people can make and sustain these lifestyle changes over a fairly long time period.

The security forces led by the police and including the military and private security forces and the intelligence forces, all ensuring that it will be a very safe environment for the athletes, officials and everybody who will be there.

The seniors have led the way, there's no question about that. There was a time during the year when we lost a couple games that they could have gotten down, but they never did that. They just went to work and really kept it going. It all starts at the top with the leadership.

The second half we got out to a pretty quick start. We forced some turnovers and really clasped on their big guy and that got us some easy buckets and led to some transition points.

The successful GTV flight is a major milestone for APKWS II. Our previous successful ballistic test vehicle flights and the many tests that led up to these were all important, but here, we were trying to hit a target for the first time and we did it.

The successes of the differential equation paradigm were impressive and extensive. Many problems, including basic and important ones, led to equations that could be solved. A process of self-selection set in, whereby equations that could not be solved were automatically of less interest than those that could.

The studying led me to the fact that I really am a songwriter and music is what I love to do, ... I also understood the patterns in my life and discovered that I wasn't so unique. I was very much like many other people who had a choice to get well and leave a narcissistic world or continue to struggle with it.

The strong flows of international capital into emerging markets reflect a number of important trends. In addition to continuing significant global economic growth, national authorities in numerous emerging market economies have improved economic policy management in recent years, which has led to greater growth, lower inflation and reductions in the ratio of public debt to GDP.

The team in North America, led by Mark Fields and supported by Anne Stevens, developed the plan for North America, drawing on their extensive global experience in Asia, Europe and The Americas. They have reenergized the Ford team to make it work, and they have the full support of the Ford Motor Company behind them.

The thoroughness of this report demonstrates just how serious we are about addressing this incident and providing assurance to our trading partners that our system is among the best in the world. I believe our actions fully address the facts that led to this incident and provide added protections on a broader scale to prevent similar problems in the future.

The tenth National Games is important to the preparation of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and it will affect the initiative of all the athletes, ... The offences have led to nasty effects.

I've led so many laps before, but it took me six years to understand that it's the last one that counts.

I've led a stem cell panel here for the last four years. Last year's panel was slanted toward talking about Proposition 71 because everyone wanted to know what is going on in California.

I've been asked about that goal every day for the last 40 years. We didn't have the technology back then to show whether it was a goal or not, which led to the controversy. I'd like to think one day we'll have the technology to show whether or not it was a goal.

I've always loved doing research. I remember doing a research project on the Babylonian numeral system in the eighth grade and thinking, 'This is pretty awesome - is this really a job you can have?' This led me toward a career as an academic, although it took me until college to realise that economics was the right field.

I used to do stop motion in my own garage and Claymation and all that stuff. That led to doing backgrounds and matte paintings. I started doing matte paintings professionally back before the computer, sort of painting on glass.

I've always been fascinated with knowing the self. This fascination led me to submerge myself in art, study neuroscience, and later to become a psychotherapist.

I've always been very interested in the question of how computation can fundamentally advance the things that we can see. This led me to have a fascination with medical imaging, especially things like MRI and scanning, and eventually computer graphics.

I visited the Taliban embassy this morning and, while they did not come out and say 'yes they're in Kandahar,' they led me to believe that's where they were,

Thanks to the changes we've made in currency design, thanks to aggressive law enforcement led by the U.S. Secret Service and thanks to an informed public, we've been able to stay ahead of the counterfeiters,

So that felt good when he did that, obviously. I think that took a little bit of pressure off everybody. It made Morgan feel a little better. Of course, it might have led to the three-run homer. Who knows?

Sony's results led the market today. The surprisingly upbeat numbers gave the market its strong upward impetus, raising hopes for better-than-expected results from other companies.

Sometimes I just wonder if I'm being led by variety. If one film leads me down one path, sometimes I just want to turn around and head the opposite way for the next project. I hope that's not the case, but sometimes I suspect that.

Ten years ago we led the nation in union membership, and we have in fact lost some of that density.

Rotgut was, to me, just this way to get into the underground of Manhattan where you have these little pockets a villain could rise from; a rot in the bowels of Manhattan. It led to these stories that were just very creepy.

SARS has not stopped factories from rolling out products in China, ... The only effect it's had on U.S. businesses is that it has led to fewer visits from buyers to the region. So there have been less face-to-face meetings between buyers and suppliers, but companies have gotten around that by teleconferencing.

Schering-Plough continued its strong 1998 performance in the third quarter, ... Led by established product lines and new product entries, higher sales were recorded by our worldwide ethical pharmaceuticals, consumer health care products and worldwide animal health businesses.

Rapid growth in 2003 and 2004 produced more production capacity than the market could digest and led to last year's stagnant performance.

Profound questions regarding the purpose of life have led many individuals and families throughout the world to search for truth. Often that search has led them to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to the restored gospel.

Our seniors did a great job of stepping up for us. They worked through a lot of adversity and always stayed positive and led by example.

Our defense was able to get a lot of turnovers and that led to some easy baskets. And it was good to see us take good shots. All of our 3-point attempts were good shots after we moved the ball around.

Our defense kept us in the game. Then finally, we got a couple of good looks and made a couple of good stops at the other end that led to fast breaks. Ethan Burt hit a basket that got us going, and then Austin Kelley went the length of the floor.

Our defensive presence was there ? they had 23 turnovers. Our (turnovers) came in stretches that led to points for them, especially in the first half.

Our economy grew at double the rate of the nation. We created 1.3 million jobs. We led the nation seven out of those eight years. We were only one of two states that went to AAA bond rating. I cut taxes, $19 billion. If you do that and apply conservative principles the right way, you create an environment where everybody rises up.

Our daughter wanted to talk about some of the topics that the books brought up, such as menstruation and breast development. She recognized on her own that her body was changing before her friends', and that naturally led to discussions about how she felt about that.

Other matches against her have been like this. I've led 5-1 or 5-2 and then let it slip away. Today I just tried to stay concentrated to the end and not get negative.

People forget how dominant Public Enemy became in the mid '80s. No one talks about how transformative they were. And then that led to the '90s and the sort of East Coast v. West Coast stuff, which is kinda when I came of age.

People have always thought of me as someone who's very classical, when in fact I've led a rather unconventional life.

Offensively I was more pleased with her than her pitching. She led off and went 2 for 3. She competed, despite all this (bad weather) that's going on. I'm proud of her. She's a competitor.

Offensively, we've scored a half-goal less than last year, when we led the country in goal,. and we've given up a half-goal more than last year.

After years of provocative headlines and breathless stories based mostly on anecdote, we finally have some solid data. The news is probably not as bad as adults might have been led to believe, but it is likely not as good as most parents might wish.
