Opening Quotations | Page 4

Given the protest and everything, I think people are opening their eyes and paying attention to what is going on. I thought the letters would be a nice follow-up (to the protest).

God has heard our prayers and the doors have been opening in Washington for the government of the United States to listen to all our concerns and suggestions about the wet foot-dry foot policy.

If it was not opening the festival, it would seem strange. It's important to see because it's kind of a playback of what happened and you know what's going to happen (but) still, ... you have to see the movie.

If it was a fight, nobody laid a glove on him. He did a great job. The only way he could be vetoed is through a filibuster, and after his opening statement today I don't think anyone could ever get the political capital to mount a filibuster against this guy.

If it's good for China, opening up and encouraging democracy and so on, why isn't it good for Cuba?

If we were opening up (the regular season) tomorrow, I think that's the way I'd go,

If we were opening on a Friday or Saturday, obviously it'd be a night game. But since it's the middle of the week ? we just thought we'd try something a little different.

If today's an indication if we're ready for opening night, I'd say we're far from it,

He would love to be the opening starter, and he proved last year he can handle pressure.

He will get five starts instead of six. It's just to make sure, give him plenty of time. He is still on schedule to start opening day.

He hasn't made a quick, hard throw and we want to see that. It will happen when it happens. Obviously, we'd like to see it before opening day.

He has an enormous interest in the plight of children, and so when it came time to prepare the gala commemorating the opening of our new office, he really wanted to do something that acknowledged the area children.

He did a lot of opening up and allowing people to work. He allowed Gary Ware to really just have a field day, he was backing in doing whatever he wanted.

He felt good about what took place when he came out. We're hopeful to have him by the opening of the season.

Having foreign players on our team has been very good for us. College is about opening yourself up to new opportunities, and that includes cultural opportunities.

He lost 50 pounds. He's worked really hard to get down. There wasn't an opening where he was so he had to cut the weight to get into the starting lineup.

He looked around, he looked ahead and he could almost see the opening at that point he could almost smell the barn and I noticed his stroke picked up and he got past that one moment that all endurance athletes have to go through. He put his head down, he tucked his chin and did it,

He'll compliment you on every little thing and he'll make you feel good about yourself, ... He'd always act like a gentleman, opening doors and pulling out chairs.

He'll be ready for Opening Day. I have no doubt about that. He's been going at it pretty hard.

He missed it and came back last spring. He's bought into what we're doing. We're pounding it inside to him and he's opening the game up for everybody.

Today is the opening day of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and there's a lot of buzz about new products for home and digital entertainment. They're taking up a larger share of the semiconductor market.

Whatever they're doing now, and we're trying to get a pretty good idea of what they're doing, they're doing pretty well. Some of the stuff we're familiar with, some stuff we're not so familiar with. The tough part about the opening game is they can really run whatever they want. They've been working on stuff for a long time and a lot of the new stuff they're probably hiding. So that's probably what they're thinking.

There is a great opportunity for some of the fans to meet these drivers before the race. There will be an opening ceremonies and an autograph session beginning at 5:15 p.m., after that the races start at 6 p.m. If fans get there late, they will miss half of the races.

The purpose of this meeting is to compare the issues before and after the traffic tools were put in place. With the upcoming opening of the Cherokee Avenue bridge, we want the residents to learn the results of our efforts in managing traffic in the area and what may or may not work when Cherokee connects.

We talked about playing really strong on special teams, and this was a good test for us. After the first period I thought we played really well, moving the puck down low and opening up some chances.

We talked at halftime about being the first team on opening day to score on a kickoff and punt return.

We're opening with the tribute to Bob Wills, and prior to that we're having a barbecue.

We're opening this thing up, allowing anyone to come in and use it to get smarter.

We're opening the second site because we found, when we talked to citizens in the last election, (the new location) was very convenient for people on (the south) side of Greenville.

We're opening the entire casino in order to deliver the quality experience that Harrah's guests expect.

We're pleased to be catalysts for this kind of change and opening air travel up to people.

When he sees that opening or that crease, he can turn it on and he's gone. He has all the tools you are looking for in a back. He has the speed, the good hands, and he blocks. But the bottom line is he could run.

What you like about opening the tournament in Dallas is the travel. Everyone's had to do a lot of traveling at this point of the year. It's nice to just take a bus trip up I-35.

Having a passing attack is opening up the running game for us. It gives us an added dimension we haven't had offensively.

Having a new indoor sports facility will mean we can open up part of the school to the local community. It is hoped that by opening up the new sports hall to the general public, the school will generate enough income to remain self-financing.

Guys are committed to opening up the game, making it a lot more entertaining and letting guys go out and use their talents. But I don't even think we'll have it down pat by the time of the openers.

Hard Rock Cafe's like-for-like sales continue to improve and this was supported by exceptional performance in the hotel and casino division with revenue continuing to exceed projections. In 2005, we also successfully relocated our New York cafe from 57th Street to our new flagship location at the Paramount Theatre in Times Square. As we look forward to 2006, we will be commemorating our 35th anniversary with a global music celebration. We are also already engaged in a number of exciting new projects, including the opening of Hard Rock Hotel Madrid, the first Hard Rock Hotel in Europe.

He's a great back but I also give a lot of credit to their offensive line. Those guys do a great job of opening up a seam and he does a great job of exploding through it. When he's going north-south, one guy is not going to bring him down.

Here we have a movie about a guy who wears a mask the whole picture, with controversial subjects, some hot-button issues. Not the standard-fare movie, and we did a strong opening and attracted a huge amount of people.

He's a lovable old codger. But he has such showmanship and presence. Here's this 73-year-old man, onstage with us when we're opening for Cheap Trick and Cake, and no one knew who he was. But he got up there and won everybody over.

Historically, we keep track of the 230 franchise stores, and we ranked fourth in opening day sales.

His vocation was orderliness, which is the basis of creation. Accordingly, when a letter came, he would turn it over in his hands for a long time, gazing at it meditatively; then he would put it away in a file without opening it, because everything had its own time.

He's going to be ready (for Opening Day). I've seen how good his swing looks, I don't think that was ever a question. It was just his foot and staying healthy.

The pace can only accelerate from now onwards because affordability is increasing, prices are coming down, income levels are going up, and the areas we are covering are going up as well, so new markets are opening up.

The overwhelming idea I would like to see is some end in Washington to this enormous preoccupation with sex, as it gives an opening for speech to anybody who's had any experience with it,

There is an argument that medical marijuana is a back door to (recreational) legalization, ... I don't think that, but I do believe it's opening the door for people to learn about the plant.

We meet todayTo thank Thee for the era done,And Thee for the opening one

We looked like the team that was winning games rather than the team that lost. We played hard and played together from the opening tip-off.

Hudson is the Opening Day starter of the future, and as long as he's here, he's going to continue being the Opening Day starter.

Huddy is Opening Day starter for the future here.

Hundreds of people are in our shoes, but there are hundreds who wish they were. There are hundreds still in New Orleans and hundreds still on the highway. I'm so relieved and glad people are opening their hearts to us.

He was given the addition on his contract as well as a terrific increase, which is a good thing for both him and Georgia, because I think it puts people at rest that when this opening comes up in Tallahassee, that he wants to stay at Georgia, and that's what he wants to do.

He was strong enough to hold off the defender and get the ball off to Chris and Chris finds an opening and he just makes something happen,

I always felt that Mike was going to replace me as the head coach at Penn State. The question is, am I replacing my opening or am I trying to select my replacement?

I always dreamed about being a Pittsburgh Pirate and playing there on Opening Day. Let's hope it will be a lot of fun.

He just puts the puck on net. He just works so hard out there. He goes down the lane with his head down and then he looks up, sees an opening and puts the shot where he wants to.

He is opening the debate on entitlements. I think he wants to break the taboo on Medicare.

He is opening his eyes. He has purposeful movements. He responds to his family in slight ways. He moves all extremities.

Guys got to understand that you have to come out with intensity from the opening tip, that's basically what it was.

This was a game from the opening tip that we felt like we could have won. We dominated the whole game where we did what we wanted to do on offense, and took them out of what they wanted to do on their offense. They made some key plays down the stretch and we didn't.

We are going to open up Monday at 7 a.m. and we are going to stay open until 12 p.m. Tuesday. After that, we are going to reopen Wednesday at 7 a.m. and have our grand opening just as we had planned and stay open for 24 hours.

Kenyon is opening a new facility and we will be the second opponent to swim in their new pool. The Ladies are a powerhouse in Division III swimming and this should be a good test for us, swimming against a quality opponent on the road.

I wouldn't say desperation was our situation tonight early in the game, it was more I think a really clear and attractive pursuit of the goals that we want, and that's the way we played in the opening 20 minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a big opening and then a little more stability coming into the market simply because this oil price is going back up on what's happening in Nigeria and doesn't look like it's going to be coming down any time soon.

I would not say we have had fantastic news in the last two days but there is a little bit of an opening in the Iraqi situation and things may be getting a bit better there.

I would not say this is a sign of great openness. It's more like establishing diplomatic relations between two countries, rather than opening borders.

I would say Ken Lay has been grilled by his own lawyers to avoid opening the door.

I would say to anyone attending the opening ceremony who wishes to pay their respect to the Queen to go ahead and sing the royal anthem anyway.

Ken and Steve never connected today. With the opening of free agency, Ken spent most of his time on the phone. He hopes to speak with Steve by Wednesday.

John came to us late. We already were way involved in our punt protection. He was a backup in that regard. But we had an opening on kickoff coverage.

John and Danny were opening for Steve Martin's stand-up tour, which was the No. 1 tour in the world, ... The album they recorded - Briefcase Full of Blues, a great album - was the No. 1 blues album in the world. They were starring on the No. 1 TV show (Saturday Night Live), and John had just starred in the No. 1 movie (Animal House) - which I'd directed.

Joe is left-handed and he really understands how to use that to his advantage, opening the court and using the angles. He has improved his serve, so it is quite a weapon now. He plays with a ton of heart.

I suspect they concluded that their opening salvo needed to start chipping away at her aura of invincibility in hope that gives an opening with the average voter to define himself.

It actually says, 'Includes new opening theme song' right on the back of the package, and it's not in microscopic letters. It's bigger than the text description of the season.

I think it's a little different because we're opening up here. It's a little more exciting because it's the opening series. But last year was almost as exciting, because it was the first time I pitched in L.A. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.

I think it is fitting that we have a big fixture to celebrate the opening of the stand. I hope we can reach an agreement with the clubs.

I think it is a quarter of a point move up, but a neutral stance by the Fed, opening up the way I think for a big rally for the rest of the year,

I think I stayed very focused and very patient throughout the whole match, ... Even when I was 4-1 up, I was playing really well at the start. I was moving around, just from side-to-side, opening up the court a lot.

I think in the past we've had some concerns with not paying for our bills, but we've been doing a lot better with that these last two years, we've actually been able to get textbooks on island and in the schools before the opening of the school year.

It appears that options traders are bracing for volatility in Heinz and the increase in call volume suggests that many are positioning for a move higher. This might be due to the acquisition talks, but also an earnings report due out before the opening bell on February 28.

I take a lot of pride in where I sit in the rotation. After Opening Day?s over, it?s over. But there?s something to it for me. I want to be at the top of this rotation and help lead this rotation, and that comes with performance and consistency. I haven?t done that for almost two years now.

I think it's critical that we that we establish interest in what we're doing beyond the 24 Hour. The 24 Hour has been the opening day, just as much as baseball has Opening Day for many years. There's an established history of having Daytona and then everything else. Quite clearly we want to make everything else equally important.

I think it signifies a kind of growing and opening up of Italian business and finance and ultimately a shift toward its democratization,

It could be a lot worse. It could have happened two months from now. Then where would we be? We are not talking about opening Pimlico (for racing) until April 20. We're certain that by then this will be long behind us, and we don't expect any residual effect.

I thought we set an early tone with our play on defense. Highland has some inexperience up front and we were able to take advantage of some things. Overall, we were pretty pleased for an opening game. There's always going to be some rough edges that first time out.

I thought we were focused from the opening tip. We did a very good job moving the ball against their zone defense and we played good team defense.

It hurts that he hasn't seen my rise in the film industry or opening the Pop Shop,

I threw too many bad pitches. I stopped locating pitches. It was a frustrating day, whether it was opening day or not. I'd be frustrated by this kind of performance in July. I'd be frustrated by this kind of performance if I won. I expect a lot more out of myself.

I think the offensive line did a heckuva job of opening it up. We knew what the Jets were going to do to us. They really didn't present us with many problems. It was just kind of smashmouth.

I think the offensive line did a heck of a job opening it up. Willis did a great job of hitting the holes and he was always going forward today. There were not many runs where he was going back. Every time he was getting hit, he was going forward.

I think, without a setback, I don't see why I won't be ready for Opening Day. I haven't really put that much thought into Tuesday yet.
