Led Quotations | Page 6

I think this will be more of a company-led expansion instead of one led by consumers.

It is not so much that man is a herd animal, said Freud, but that he is a horde animal led by a chief.

I think that '01 was different because we led and then were behind, and in 2002 and '03, I don't think we didn't lead. This year, the highest we've been (in the standings) is third. From my standpoint, you're hoping that you haven't peaked and that you'll peak towards the end of the season, and we'll have to if we're going to have any chance to move up further in the standings.

It is important that we Mainers continue our strong support of the program that has so successfully shaped our current political environment and led to similar reforms in other places.

Last year, our ratings growth was led by the strength of our original programs. We plan to continue that momentum this year with original movies and events based on some of our biggest hits. With both Class of 3000, from one of the most gifted talents in the music industry, Andre Benjamin, and Squirrel Boy, we are looking forward to another exciting year.

Last year I led the team in rushing and receiving. Definitely, it wasn't a knock to me that they drafted a running back. I didn't take it personally. I'm the kind of guy who needs the ball 22 times a game. Last year I was getting it 20 to 25 carries. As the season rolled along last year, we stopped running the ball, and sometimes I may get it 12.

Lauren led our team on the court and off the court this past season. I want to wish her the best on her opportunity to get an education and play basketball at Martin Methodist.

I welcome the additional investment... it safeguards the current 24-hour doctor led service, which many feared to be at risk.

I was very unhappy to hear that a job action by the Newton firefighters led to disruption in traffic and public safety,

I was actually signed at a very young age - I was 12 - and one thing led to another, and I ended up in a mutual split from the label. But it was probably the best thing that could have ever happened, because I was able to kind of leave the industry side of it for a minute and focus on the independent side.

I was always kind of a loudmouth and a class clown, and that kind of led to doing all the school plays and trying out all kinds of different stuff.

It is a tragedy. I led you for 35 years. How can you lead me out of court? Shame on you.

It is a set of symptoms that have never before been seen in marine mammals. That physical evidence has led scientists to understand that the sonar is injuring the whales in addition to causing them to strand.

I think the reason you use an actor is if they are right for the role. Most of the high-profile stars tend to be good actors. That's probably what led to their fame. So if they are right for the movie, you can certainly use them. But I don't want to, not at all. Stardom and Hollywood overpower the ideas and the film.

Just get it in the Chase and we would start working on stuff. I tell you what, I like this format but I'd just like to be on the inside of it. One year ago is when our problem started. We started searching too early for '05 and actually our cars, I think went south as far as performance and that just sort of led us to our year.

Jeremy came in there at the end and threw pretty well in my book. He got in a little jam at the end, but got out of it. We didn't have a couple good defensive plays behind him that led to getting a couple base runners on. All-in-all I was pleased with both of them.

Jenni led my example. She was a great role model for the rest of the team. Having her on the team helped the younger girls improve. It's to bad she won't be around next year because I enjoyed coaching her.

Jason is an outstanding member of the England team who has led by example for the three years he has been playing international rugby union,

Jefferson's religion has been a question mark for some time, but a descendant of his who did thorough research came to the conclusion that Jefferson was a conservative Unitarian. That's accurate. In church attendance, Jefferson probably led the pack. He liked church going and he liked to listen to speeches, he really was a devout man. When his daughter died his other daughter found him off by himself reading the Bible.

Jeans & Classics have a great reputation as one of the more highly rated national touring symphony pops program groups. The Jeans 'n' Classics band -- there are several of them -- do covers of great bands of the past. There's a Led Zeppelin band. They have a Beatles Band. And people really swear by them. They are very well rehearsed and they are very polished.

Jesse was the go-to guy in college. He led in every category. Here, he's not that guy that does everything. When you jump a level, you need to stick to your position and rely on your teammates.

Jewelry is an art form, ... In conceptualizing designs for Tiffany, I worked as I always do, sketching and creating models. Sculptors and painters have inspired me with their ability to make things with their own hands. This process led to the discovery of new ways to give feeling and spirit to form, and realize our shared vision of jewelry that provides a beautiful context for living now.

Korean immigration to Mexico in the spring of 1905 led directly to the Japanese takeover of Korea six months later.

Korea has led the way in responding to the crisis with reform and deregulation, ... It stands out among Asian countries for its response.

Last week we lost three one-games to Oswego, and every time we led in the sixth inning or beyond. We really needed this one. There's a lot of parity in the league this year, and you can't afford to have an off night or somebody will get you.

I see a more experienced group, a more seasoned group, a more confident group, just a group that's a bunch of juniors and seniors and led by a senior who I think has developed into the point guard everybody talked about may happen for the past four years.

I sat down after that with my coach to work on some things. There were a few shots I couldn't hit down the stretch. I had trouble in the wind and that led to bogeys.

Our inexperience showed when during uneven bars, our girls realized we were .175 behind Utah and we saw them fall for the second time on beam. We went out and tried not to fall after that. You cannot compete like that and it led to a chain reaction.

Over the last year, the foundation has had many discussions about what to do with that Cedarville land. Those discussions led to a focus on all town-owned land and what the highest and best use for each is. Looking in the best interests of the town, we decided Plymouth should come up with some scenarios and conduct a comprehensive review of all the properties that it owns.

Over the past six months, the core PPI is up at about a 0.5 per cent annual rate. There is no indication that higher energy prices have led to broad inflationary pressures.

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.

Our preparation and consistency in practice has led to success in games. It's taken three years for the team to find that consistent level, and right now they have it.

Our team is slowly coming together. Rider led the way and was solid at the libero position. Not only was she able to dig the ball, but she passed to target which jump-started our offense. And Vasquez controlled the net.

Our floor position was good tonight. I think we got where we belonged. We got a lot of tips and deflections that led to easy baskets.

Our folks began within a few weeks after the accident looking at all possible causes which then led us to all possible solutions.

Our core beverages, coupled with a strong holiday promotion, drove results in our retail stores, while solid growth in licensed locations led to the increase in our specialty business revenues.

Overall, solid domestic final demand, but the second quarter will be much weaker. We expect growth to slow to 3% or less, led by a sharp slowing in consumption.

Our turnovers led to their transition and we didn't do much to stop them.

Our turnovers led to their offense. We didn't do a very good job of taking care of the basketball. It just seemed liked our kids were a step slow mentally.

Our work on C. elegans emphasized the benefits of sharing large amounts of information. We took a global approach to discover the mechanisms that led to the development of the worm.

Our assessment was that the factors that led to the introduction of the allowances had changed. If Brisbane weren't as successful as they are, I believe the decision would be the same.

Our 5 percent total year increase was led by the exciting new products we launched in 2004 and 2005. We plan to continue that momentum into 2006 with strong, new, fuel-efficient product offerings beginning with the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass.

Rising oil and gas prices are behind a city-wide boom and have led to greater demand for industrial space.

Robert Plant . That's a little bit different because there was never fire in LED ZEPPELIN . It always had a note to it. He never screamed. With Robert Plant it was like, we still have to do music, we have to do notes. So, Robert Plant: Amazing vocalist, but he never did fire. He did heat and he did it really well. As well as Ozzy Osbourne and AC/DC and Bon Scott . This kinda heat thing has gone on for 20, 30 years.

Rep. Nunes has led this effort for many years and been a tireless advocate on this issue.

Rep. Nancy Johnson has always been a champion of legislation to protect the Arctic Refuge as a wilderness area. Showing great independence, Rep. Johnson has led the effort in the House to block efforts to use the budget process to open up the refuge to oil and gas exploration. Her leadership has been indispensable to the millions of Americans who place a priority on safeguarding our environment and protecting America?s great wilderness areas.

Refinancing activity was very strong in the fourth quarter, even with higher interest rates. The large share of borrowers who took cash out when refinancing their mortgages combined with the strong overall refinance volume led to an extraction of home equity through prime first-lien refinances of $70.3 billion, slightly higher than the revised estimate of $67.2 billion extracted in the third quarter. We expect the share of all refinance borrowers who take out cash to remain high in 2006 because of the relatively high cost of second mortgages and home-equity lines of credit.

Recent events where criminals were able to become customers have led us to take this strong action in order to regain the trust of consumers that their information is being used only for their benefit, or the benefit of society at large.

Recent environmental disasters suggest that China needs to find a better balance between growth and environmental protection. The obsession with GDP has led to a neglect of growth quality issues.

Our research led on to other things, such as the fact that exchange rates are not lognormally distributed.

It has also led us to increase our near-term guidance for subscriber and revenue growth.

Part of it was we looked a little rusty, we made some simple mistakes, like passing the ball out of bounds. That led to some fast break points for them. You have to give credit to them. They did play good defense and did have good defensive pressure.

People have different paths in life. Quincy's led him to a different place. What matters is how you play.

Our defense wasn't there in this one. We made way too many mistakes that led to their runs.

Susan played hurt and still led us in kills and digs. Nichole hit and passed well and served at 97 percent. Jessica picked it up a lot this year. Those players will be missed.

Statistically, it looks like Jed led us, and he did. But, this was just a great overall effort. Everyone stepped up and contributed, both offensively and defensively.

States and consumer advocates think that gift card fees, such as deductions every month if you don't use the card, are unfair to consumers. Many states, led by California, have enacted legislation severely limiting or even banning such fees.

That attitude expressed by Ford's supporters is exactly the rationale that led us to support the strongest candidate.

My mother was a wonderful woman and led a good life. She went peacefully.

My work on the economics of uncertainty led naturally to the work on information asymmetries, and more generally, imperfect information.

Living wage ordinances in other cities and counties have not led to higher contract costs and have instead leveled the playing field in the bidding process.

Matt has been good for us all year defensively. We chart deflections and Matt has led us in deflections all year. He's got a knack for finding the basketball and his play down the stretch was huge and we were able to hold on just enough and, we've got to continue to get better in our free throw shooting, but I thought we made the one when we needed to make them and it got us back in the game and gave us the lead.

Mario led the way for us. It was awesome.

Mark has improved a lot more than we were led to expect.

Marylanders have led the nation in adopting a balanced approach to revenues and investments because we know that in order to maintain and build the #1 public schools in the nation, we had to ask everyone to pay their fair share. We need Congress to do the same.

Martin led the team extremely well and I am sure he will take this opportunity to do so again against three very tough teams in November,

I was thinking about that when Ski (Hinske) led off with a double, ... I thought this would be the perfect time for me to get the goose egg off the RBI column.

I was very fortunate that my first novel captivated the imaginations of so many readers who asked for a sequel. After that, one book led to another as I discovered other facets to my characters I wanted to investigate further.

I was in a cave and I needed to draw some pictures on the wall about what my journey was, and that drive, that need, led me to acting.

I think our morale and confidence is good right now and certainly winning helps that. Overall the team knows that the work they put in has led to some real good results and rewards for them. I think our morale and confidence is as high as it could possibly be.

I think people are led by their representation a lot. I know there were a lot of mixed feelings about Jennifer taking my movie. Some were really supportive, and some people in her camp were very against it, like, 'You did your Good Girl !' It's so crazy; it's about a role, it's about a part.

I think people are hungry for new ideas and leadership in the world of poverty alleviation. Most development programs are started and led by people with Ph.Ds in economics or policy. Samasource is part of a cadre of younger organizations headed by entrepreneurs from non-traditional backgrounds.

I think probably with any performer, but maybe with rock music especially, the audience wants to see the singer being real, and exploring, and not doing a rehearsed routine, so I'm just constantly looking for new things to try. I'm really curious out there, and my curiosity has led me into all kinds of bizarre situations.

I think my dad's post-presidency, he didn't miss a beat. He didn't get into any kind of 'Woe is me.' He dusted himself off and led an incredible life since 1993.

It does pull a lot of money out of people's pockets. Even if it doesn't go back up much, it translates to a 50-to-60-cents-a-gallon gas tax. But for the borrowing that people were willing to do, it probably would have led to recession.

I think if you are short-term trader, the idea is that the summer rally is probably going to be led by technology as we go up here in the near-term. And that means you're going to probably move away from some of the previous leaders. We talked a lot about health care, a lot about energy - some of that money is flowing back to tech right now. But I'm not sure that as we look forward to the third quarter and the fourth quarter, and we grow instead of 7 percent, more like 4 percent, some of those prices are going to come down too. I think you might look for some bargains in health care and energy here, during the sell-off. In technology, I'd look for some big leaders who have a chance to come back.

It has been a failure because the big industrial polluters, led by the United States, have failed to clean up our act.

It didn't feel like a letdown. It just seemed like we didn't know what we were doing. One turnover led to another and another. I think the main thing is to have that killer instinct or heart on the defensive end.

I thought he was in control of the game, managed it well, ... He led us. He made the right reads and made good throws. He did what quarterbacks are supposed to do.

I thought Mario deserved third team, and I thought Russell (Robinson) deserved honorable mention, but there's a lot of other coaches that say the same thing about their players. Brandon certainly played at a certain level and led us from start to finish. He's deserving of that.

Jim's a great coach. From a defensive perspective, I know he brings us a lot of things we can hang our hat on. I definitely think he has the ability. I don't know the Packers' criteria for deciding if a guy's good or not, but he definitely has the kind of leadership required. He led the defense to be pretty good.

John will be a terrific addition to our organization. Over the past 12 years, John has led and managed a successful media and communications investment banking practice in the U.S. and Europe. Our media and communications business will benefit from his vision, leadership, relationships and proven experience.

John was a role model for me who led to a lot of the reasons why I continued running after high school and college. He was the guy who most of the (local) teens aspired to be like as a runner.

It is clear today that more energetic and purposeful Swedish actions during the 1940s could have led to a more happy end for Raoul Wallenberg and his family

Managements in the U.S. have led the way and now we see are starting to see it around the world, BP et al are starting to show that they understand the importance of getting leaner and stronger and better, ... And we continue to have greater and greater productivity.

The appetite for 3G services is growing in Australia and globally. It is the future for delivering mobile services and in the next two to three years we will see its rapid adoption - fuelled by exciting multi functional handsets and appealing information, entertainment and communication services. 3 has led the way in making the 3G experience a present day reality for over half a million customers, and we want our 2G customers to be able to upgrade and experience 3G easily.

That was the best game of the year for Emi. I think she's grown up a little bit. She led the team in scoring, but we need more than that. This (loss) is a hard one to swallow.

That wasn't the way that things was supposed to be. And all because the so-called culture that I thought was right, that I thought it was cool, and I thought it was fun, and it was exciting at the time. It all led to me laying in a prison bunk by myself with no one to talk to but myself.
