Obvious Quotations | Page 6

There have been wealthy candidates before in California, but this is the first time we've seen wealth-on-wealth. The most obvious impact for voters is that they are going to see lots and lots of television ads.

There has been no formal date set. It's early. We'll have to see. The obvious goal is to get a deal done, and we'll certainly try as hard as we can to do it and, hopefully, the owners will, too.

There is a difference between cultures - of course there is - but it is much less obvious with younger generations and much less important when people are bilingual or educated.The 'them and us' stuff no longer applies. It is having not just awareness about different cultures but the way we speak in English.

We knew Sears was going to have some rough sledding ahead but what's obvious now is that it's going to be a lot rougher than anticipated,

We thought it was a fairly obvious out. I don't know why he did it or why people do, it's up to them really. But it was a nice gesture, I suppose.

We think that it's as critical and obvious as the idea of having wireless computing in the field.

Why is the list growing? The answer is an obvious one - the global economy is growing.

Why does Beethoven appeal and continue to appeal? Other than the obvious (his having written great music), Beethoven communicates a credo so effectively that the listener finds the courage he needs to reaffirm his own belief in the purpose of life. Beethoven stiffens the fiber of our commitment in a language that is beauty itself, in a statement as open as a Greek temple. Friend Beethoven is the one friend we shall always have.

We've definitely failed in our goals of playing the way we want in these games and giving ourselves a chance to win. It's plain as day. You guys watch it. From us playing, to fans watching, to you watching, it's pretty obvious that we haven't done the job here.

To me that was interesting. A lot of romantic comedies, it's so obvious she shouldn't be with X and she should be with Y. This is more complicated than that.

Tori Amos had a major influence on how I craft words in a song. Until I heard 'Little Earthquakes' all my lyrics used really obvious analogies like rain for tears.

We are sharing our resources in a very inequitable way. In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace.

We averaged 43.5 points a game this year and they came up with 29 of those so it's obvious how important they were. As the season wore on, we developed other options, but they were definitely the leaders. They received a lot of attention from the other team's defense all year and they were still able to do well.

To the general public and to our fans, it is obvious what a great job that Greg and his staff have done to put UNI basketball on the national map. I think he is the best young basketball coach in the country and I am overwhelmed with the fact that we can keep him here at UNI.

The question you need to ask yourself is, why would a bank be pitching you this product at this time? The obvious answer is that bankers believe rates will rise in the future. Getting you out of a fixed loan and into a variable one helps ensure profitability on your account.

To balance China, the democracies will need new friends -- and India with its fast-growing economy, youthful population, and democratic politics seems the obvious candidate.

The phrase in question refers to episodes in the past. It is obvious that there is no intention to arouse controversy with the People's Republic of China.

The practice is not to accept remedies submitted after the deadline unless they resolve all concerns in a clear and obvious way and do not require a market evaluation.

When you get on a roll, like we have been on in the past, I would say that the concentration level is at an extreme. It needs to be better and the obvious things are the penalties. You have to focus in on those things, on the technique, concentrate on the snap count and make sure you are not lined up in the neutral zone and those types of things.

There are a couple of trends building this year. The most obvious one in the consumer category is DVD players, which are affordable to more people now.

There are 18 million businesses in Europe: do you contact each company individually? Is there one opt-out list? Are there competing opt-out lists? They simply don't know how this would work. It is fairly obvious that a global opt-off list won't work. It has already been a failure in the U.S.

The players have been aware that they were going to be involved with this for a while now. But we're taking three catchers for a reason. You can't expect to catch this much this early without getting sore. Fourteen pitchers is another obvious thing. As for the players, we'll take things on an individual basis. For example, Ken Griffey told me he'd be ready to go.

While it is clear India wants to be America's friend and strategic partner, it is less obvious whether the U.S. wants to be India's friend or merely capitalize on this country's growing geopolitical importance and abundant market opportunities.

We need to be sure this institution is in the mainstream of American thinking. What we need to do is ask the obvious questions.

We'd always written that role with him in mind. He's an old friend and this is a great opportunity for all the obvious reasons.

When she came here in seventh grade, it was obvious watching her play that she had God-given skills. The fun thing has been to watch her mature and refine her game. Each year she's gotten better at different aspects of the game.

But the obvious effect is on utility consumption, which will affect industrial output in the economy. People consume more electricity, that places more demand on natural gas, coal, power, and electrical systems.

While there have been some obvious signs of slowing in the U.S. economy, market participants want to see additional evidence confirming the slowdown,

While there are many areas where we think the company can/needs to continue to improve upon, still it is obvious from nearly every client metric, customers are responding to 'Chuck' in a compelling fashion...and we think the client is likely the most important aspect of a retail business.

To spell out the obvious is often to call it into question

We all know what to do. We've all been together long enough to know what to do and what makes the power play work. We're just not doing it. It's the obvious thing and I'm sick of it. We're all sick of hearing it.

There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact.

There is no reason for punitive measures. There is no obvious evidence of non-compliance with the non-proliferation regime. There are statements which are taken by experts skeptically, and there are some warm-up dances. And that's all.

We've got a list, and it's becoming shorter. We've probably talked about 20 or 30 people, some for five seconds and some we're still talking about. It's becoming obvious that the list is narrowing down fairly quickly.

This was the obvious thing that they should have done about two years ago. I think they lost a lot of ground by being indecisive between now and then. And it's a little disconcerting that they're waiting until December to actually get this up and running.

This was an unexpected finding. There is no obvious explanation.

We don't release the location of the checkpoints ahead of time for obvious reasons. People would just take another route to where they're going.

You have to wonder why does this company get this treatment? And, why did maybe hundreds of other invitations get turned down? The obvious thing that comes to mind is (the) campaign contributions.

With global inventory still at extremely low levels and particular concern over low product and crude oil inventory in the U.S., there is little obvious sign of any significant weakness.

This year, one of the things I'm most excited about is that the sound of the band is just incredible, ... There's going to be an obvious difference in the first note that the fans hear.

When you look on a map, it's an obvious protection of the watershed. Anything you can do to protect any riparian area is worthwhile.

We're paying $44.95 for the exact same package, and it's pretty obvious that Vermillion costumers are subsidizing Yankton. As a council, I wish we could look at anything possible to correct that situation, even if we have to encourage people going on satellite. Also, in four years, I know it's over a 30 percent increase. How can you justify a 30 percent increase in Vermillion rates in four years?

We just need to clean house, ... It's obvious right now this is systematic. It just continues over and over and there might be more time bombs waiting.

What the generation, the Americans who came of age in the 30s and 40s believe they lived, felt, I mean had reason to feel they lived in a world that was very much beyond their control and in which terrible things were capable of happening to you beyond your control. The depression being the obvious example.

What that means in the greater scheme of things, I'll know more tomorrow. The knee was tolerant. He was sore in the obvious places, being the hands and upper torso. It's a good first step toward getting back to baseball activities. ... I'm presuming it's a baby-step type of thing.

When a man walks into a bar, asks if it's a gay bar and starts shooting, there couldn't be any more glaringly obvious and enraging example that we need a uniform hate crimes law and that Congress has stubbornly failed to act.

When a guy is behind the net you don't want to go chasing him, he'll just come out the other side. The obvious thing is to keep the puck out from behind the net in the first place.

When a glacier recedes, it means that it is diminishing, which is an obvious sign of global warming.

We went back and forth and we could never get the details worked out. When it became obvious that it was not just a state dinner, it was more of a fundraising event, that is the wrong purpose of why we are here.

We will not step back one inch from our obvious right (to nuclear technology).

When I talked to Nick, he was floored. So was I. It's obvious these young men have been listening to the important lessons - and they taught us the lesson today.

We expect consumer sales to continue ramping up this quarter, but it is now obvious to us following the Thanksgiving weekend that they will not grow sufficiently to allow us to meet previous consensus for EPS and guidance for revenue.

We don't think it's a good depiction of out brand. It's not an association we feel comfortable with, for obvious reasons. Every dealer I've talked to is not in favor of this relationship.

We certainly have a proven, capable, successful NHL head coach as our head coach in the American Hockey League. Paul is an obvious prime candidate.

Very, very broadly speaking, you can put directors into two areas: One for whom you work, and the other with whom you work. And I prefer the latter, for obvious reasons. It's a great relief to feel that you're working with someone rather than for someone.

To me, it's about new heroes. It's about people other than the obvious ones stepping up. It's about people supplying energy and momentum for you. We're in a no-choice situation. We need everybody to bring the energy they can.

We should accept the obvious - (top-up) tuition fees are here to stay.

We think that this election was absolutely unfair, absolutely unlawful, and it's an obvious sign that our country is turning from an authoritarian regime into a totalitarian one.

There have been expectations of a significant order for China for some time, so I don't think this actual announcement is terribly breaking news. But what it does underscore is that despite the obvious problems the industry is having in the U.S. and Western Europe, there is basic demand for aircraft. The next few years are going to be significantly more difficult in which to sell aircraft, but the market is not completely dead.

We are an organization with very, very high expectations. It's no different this year. It's obvious the team is not showing any emotion, the team is not doing the things they need to do in order to fulfill these expectations. It's nothing in particular, other than I am convinced it was the right time to make the call.

We are very, very hopeful that Titus will make it for obvious reasons. I have seen him training and he has been working hard and running hard and looking good. It would be good to have him back.

We did a nationwide survey of tapes to find someone who could step in and do baseball when I was gone, and Bill was the guy we selected. It was obvious sooner or later that he would be doing his own thing. The broadcast business has lost a good one. It's just a shame.

We have felt for a long time that we needed an outreach particular to Hispanics working in construction because they are such a major force in the industry. It was obvious that if we wanted to be a brand leader, we really needed to develop that market for the long term.

Bode raises the question, but there is not a question. There was not a big discussion or a fight. It's very clear that the ski tip has to cross the gate line, and it's more than obvious that he was straddling the gate.

Both Jess and Tawny ran smart races, and it was obvious they wanted to do well here at home. We may not be at our best right now, so sometimes teams creep up and catch us, like they did today. But in two weeks we'll be ready.

Broadly speaking, the economy is in a pretty good place. But it's no longer obvious what the next step should be. Now it gets a lot more complicated.

Besides the obvious loss to a homeowner and his or her family, the values of homes near foreclosed properties drop dramatically when a home is boarded up. A typical city may lose up to $33,000 per foreclosed home, and a typical mortgage company may lose $50,000 or more per home. One way or another, all consumers suffer and end up paying more.

Besides the obvious financial impacts, the real consequence to me is that it's caused morale problems for UW Medicine and the university overall, ... It's had a consequential impact on our image, and we need to turn that around.

Even though there's a guy out there that looks obvious to everybody here, it's not necessarily in his mind his best option. We have to be mindful of that, as well.

either you lead from hope or you lead from fear. It's obvious from Al Gore's attacks on Bill Bradley that he lacks confidence in his own agenda for the country.

Besides fulfilling obvious responsibilities of guard play, defense and recruiting, what drew me to Linda is her will. She has a will and work ethic that has resulted in success everywhere she has been, and we are extremely excited to welcome her to Colorado State.

Beyond the obvious benefit of playing time, it gives us the chance to see where he's at. It will be interesting to see what happens when he gets the consistent minutes. I want to try and fit him into as many situations as possible.

As soon as you opened the door it was obvious who it was, ... He was a very handsome man. ... A number of people have commented that he looked bigger than he actually was. Perhaps just knowing who he was seemed to magnify him ... I think he was a little larger than life.

At one point I was having a good run with Will Turner in the #2 car. We were fighting for sixth place and the lead pack was in sight. Knowing we had run quite a while under yellow, and with Will in my mirrors, I was pushing pretty hard. Unfortunately, the way we were crashing the curbs, one of my control arms gave out. When I entered turn one, I just couldn't hang on and Will was able to get by me. I did another lap, but then the car spun going into turn one. It was obvious my day was over so I got the car safely out of the way.

At that time, it was painfully obvious that the American economy was showing tremendous resilience when the Fed began tightening. Europe has nothing like that now.

At a basic and obvious level, it ties into gut level concern of ordinary people.

Aside from his obvious touring expertise and success, ... Arthur is someone that has the rare combination of strategic and creative processing, which is an invaluable combination in this business and something I tap into often as we continue to evolve our global business strategy.

At this point, we feel very confident that this was not shipping damage. It's obvious that no crack is inconsequential in the business that we're in.

At this point, there isn't an obvious place to park money, ... A number of strategies that produced good returns in the past are no longer profitable. A lot of the smart money is sitting on the sidelines right now just waiting for the direction to change.

At the time we didn't put another linebacker in. We took one of the defensive linemen off the line, stood him up and went into the three-man front that way. We did it in obvious passing situations, long-yardage situations or at the end of the game when we were protecting a lead.

At the time when we played Woburn, they were still missing their quarterback and hadn't gotten their passing game back on track yet, ... Wakefield, with its passing game was really difficult to defend. The difference when we played them was that Wakefield's passing attack was further along for obvious reasons because they've been healthy.

Dianne doesn't really have an obvious New Orleans connection. But she's very familiar with the repertoire, and she wanted to help out.

Craig will be captain. He's the obvious choice.

And yeah, she would put 'Pride (In the Name of Love)' on it. You do go for some obvious stuff when you make a mix tape because it reinvents itself.

Engineers are now experimenting with 4,096-line TV systems, suggesting that with the next generation of sets you'll be able to count the grass blades on the Superbowl field, an obvious lifestyle improvement.

Early warning is the most obvious way in which accurate, timely information alone can save lives. But there are gaps in the way we gather and share this powerful resource.

Due to the obvious self-defense issues, the clerk is not being charged with any crime.

Dr. Lott managed significant reductions in state funding over the first four years of his administration without cutting funds to the arts. He secured funding for the construction of the Jefferson Davis Campus (JD) Arena Theatre in Gulfport and the renovation of the college's existing arts facilities. Finally, he implemented a leadership-development program with a strong connection to the arts. All this made him an obvious choice for this award.

Especially at this time when it's obvious that government has certain expenditure needs in the wake of two hurricanes and we don't know what else.

Eternal Power!Grant me, through obvious clouds, one transient gleamOf thy bright essence in my dying hour.

Eternal Power! Grant me, through obvious clouds, one transient gleam Of thy bright essence in my dying hour.

Everything we do really stems from being record collectors rather than musicians. I suppose that's where we're basically different from most bands. When we started, we were fairly heavily inspired by hip-hop from a production perspective because of the way a song is constructed with breaks. That's something people weren't really doing with pop tunes at the time, and it seemed like an obvious way of making music without having to learn how to play an instrument, which had always been my dream.

There's a good agriculture customer base and there's an increasing commercial and residential demand. There's an obvious shift ... from a mostly agriculture market to a mixed market.

The resignation carries obvious headline risk -- the stock is down heavily. But (it) does not mean that the strategy chosen by XM management is incorrect.

There's no doubt that the turning point is more obvious now and the signs of a further slowdown are clear.

There's no contemplative process. She doesn't understand things that are so obvious to us.

There's no obvious reason why (Bobby) can't take state. If he just wrestles his best, I don't know why anyone would beat him.

There's no obvious reason from this report to explain why further analysis is appropriate or even necessary.

There's no indication that there is any damage in there that would impact him moving forward. They're going to do some tests, and we'll get a better idea this week exactly what his status is. I think as soon as he came out, it was pretty ominous and pretty obvious that he wasn't going to be able to help us in this series.

There's more of the same on the horizon of good times. There's no obvious reason for the good times to end.
