Perhaps Quotations | Page 6

If we faced issues that required little more than a few turns with a Phillips screwdriver, then we perhaps could afford the luxury of political gamesmanship and the personal pleasures of some old-fashioned partisan political towel popping.

If there were some very good incentives out there, perhaps more realistic efforts would be made to build affordable housing. But those incentives are not there. Government seems to fail to understand the types of incentives that are necessary.

I grew up in a small hotel with many rooms, so when I became aware of 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,' I inspected all the wardrobes, sure one had to be a portal to another world. I was also a true believer in faeries, and perhaps still am.

If they can convince people with money that, yes, you're spending $20 more here, but we offer products you can't get elsewhere, perhaps it will work.

If we can map the retina, that will help us understand how it functions in vision, as well as devise new ways of repairing its malfunctions. And if we can really figure out the retina, perhaps we will have a shot at figuring out the vastly more complicated brain.

If we could cut carbon dioxide emissions by 80 percent over the next 20 years we could perhaps prevent this. If we continue burning fossil fuels as we are today in the very near future (the ice shelf) will slip in (the ocean).

I have been talking with Iraqi citizens, many of them do speak English, and they say they've got weeks, perhaps months of food stockpiled in their homes. So there is no crisis here, at least nothing on the proportion that some of the international aid agencies would have you believe,

I have been successful, and I am grateful for my success. I have had some experiences that I wish I never had had, but that would be true in any business. I cannot say sincerely that I would have chosen just this road to fortune. Perhaps I might have wished for another way. But I took the opportunity that came to me. Certainly I am an opportunist. I admit it.

I don't have specific aims. Only to keep writing. I need more time, as I said, perhaps 25 hours in a day would be helpful.

I don't go around thinking I'm the third most powerful, ... First of all, if they made the list of the most powerful business people in America, I would not be on the list so it's by virtue of the fact there we're so few women perhaps that I could you know, reside right after Oprah on the list.

I don't know the taxpayer has perhaps much of an understanding of just how much wealth has been and is being and can be created that flows through the economy and just how many jobs depend upon it.

I don't know why any team would say anything to give perhaps the best player in the country some extra motivation.

Idaho has a number of areas that are being considered for wilderness areas... and perhaps as Secretary of the Interior, Kempthorne would be in a position to move that forward.

I am devastated by the news that the hon. Gentleman has brought us about Catherine Zeta-Jones. Perhaps she could ask her husband to fund the project?

I am afraid that people might be complacent to the dangers and perhaps allow children under their care to participate without proper supervision, resulting in possibly devastating consequences.

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her...I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

IBM is perhaps the most important earnings call because this company is the one that has made itself out as a new model of a major tech company,

I believe that there will be a very substantial, perhaps even a two-thirds majority, for constitutional change and the modernization of our system of government in the next Parliament,

But we're getting a good response from Berkeley homeowners, so we'll see how it goes. We'll experiment, perhaps in the Fruitvale area in Oakland, or Vacaville. We want to see if it's more fruitful, if you will, to spend our efforts there.

But we hope our findings of an association will lead to further examination of this important issue. Perhaps it will help give smokers one more reason to quit, and encourage quitting smoking among those who are also trying to control their drinking.

But states need to find the balance between playing older guys who have perhaps missed the opportunity to play international cricket and the young guys coming through chasing that dream.

But the St. Louis experience, perhaps better than anything else, illustrates just how much our industry has changed during the past three years.

Bush is perhaps a brighter man that we imply, but on the other hand he's probably just as narrow a man as we report him to be.

But having said that, it probably is a good thing to have an independent Kraft, though there won't be that many changes. Perhaps their tax rate will be lower.

But at the very start, Toro Rosso perhaps have a better chance to score points than does Red Bull.

Basically this is probably the right thing to happen in the end. If it had continued in this way, we certainly wouldn't have released it. Perhaps this has saved that very difficult decision.

Because research has shown that obesity in children today has tripled in the last 20 years and is becoming perhaps the biggest threat to the health and welfare of future generations,

Because ratings were down in a high-single digit level, concerns are about the up-front advertising market, which may be soft, perhaps more for ABC than others. I think analysts have gotten nervous.

Because our pitch is quite narrow and not very long it perhaps suits an impact player more, but his game is developing and he will eventually become a very big player.

China is in the midst of perhaps the largest military buildup the world has witnessed since the end of the Cold War.

I'm a little bit surprised. Perhaps some people were expecting them to raise their guidance or come in at the high end.

I love, but I am not entirely sure how to be loved: how to be seen and known for the utterly flawed woman I am. It demands surrender. It demands acknowledging that I am not perfect, but perhaps I deserve affection anyway.

I have always been attracted to apostrophe, perhaps because of its resemblance to prayer. A voice reaches out to something beyond itself that cannot answer it. I find that moving in part because it enacts what is true of all address and communication on some level - it cannot fully be heard, understood, or answered.

I had a very misguided notion of what 'network notes' were. I thought they were well-meant suggestions, perhaps urgently meant, but just suggestions nonetheless. And actually, they're demands. You have to do them, or you will not be paid.

I have been in dock, perhaps twenty times in as many years, for the reduction of this disease, and with little good effect - none lasting.

I have learned that it is imperative that I make time for my friends, that they demand to be as much a part of the mix as my family and my work, and perhaps more so, because they are not an inevitability.

I hate this "crime doesn't pay" stuff. Crime in the United States is perhaps one of the biggest businesses in the world today.

I have 1.4 million followers on Twitter. I get very interesting, sometimes very diverse input from my followers. So it's sort of like this water cooler, digital water cooler, if you want to think about it, where you go and you listen to conversations that are happening that perhaps will shape your thinking.

I hate cynicism a great deal worse than I do the devil; unless perhaps the two were the same thing

I felt perhaps 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' was a little premature. It was a huge hit around the world - it was still running in the theatres - and the Americans at that time were already shooting the remake, and I was like, 'Whoa! Give it a break of five or six years and get a little inspired, and then do it.'

If in fact the U.N. through this effort ... moves in that direction, then I think it will make it more difficult perhaps for the U.N. to achieve the level of support that it would like to in Congress to further its legitimate goals,

If Iran attains a nuclear weapon, the Saudis may try to compete with Iran by obtaining their own nuke, perhaps from Pakistan.

I find that I am much slower in the beginning of a book. I am thinking of the plot, of the characters and who they are, and where they are going. I often throw out a lot of the writing I start with, because the characters and plot improve as I write. Or perhaps I should say it is my hope they will improve as I write.

If (Boeing) knew these things presumably 10 years ago or even before that, perhaps the TWA 800 explosion would never have taken place and there would not have been 230 lives lost,

I feel that I can help the squad and perhaps bring something extra from the professional game,

I can tell you with some degree of confidence that in the next millennium we'll see human beings walk on other planets and even perhaps go to other stars,

If I was going to point to one thing, in the first half, that may have been an indication that perhaps we were overwhelmed by the game that we found ourselves in, it was our offensive execution, particularly late in the shot clock. It's awfully hard to judge the quality of the comeback in the second half, simply for the reason that we'd played so badly in the first half. Albion had every reason to believe that we couldn't come back. Am I pleased with the grit? Yeah. Does it mean anything? I don't know.

Great soccer is inspiring, on the street and in the stadium, and Nike today celebrates brilliant soccer with the announcement of the perhaps the strongest side ever to represent the United States on the global football stage. Nike soccer is about the joy of playing, whether it be worldwide or here in the United States. Our products, our players and our global brand leadership reflect that.

Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe, bold I can meet, perhaps may turn his blow! But of all plagues, good Heavens, thy wrath can send, save, save, oh save me from the candid friend!

Give me the avowed, erect and manly foe; Firm I can meet, perhaps return the blow; But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send, Save me, oh, save me, from the candid friend

Give me the avowed, erect and manly foe; Firm I can meet, perhaps return the blow; But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send, Save me, oh, save me, from the candid friend

Given that HA is responsible for so much pathology in the lung, if we could identify the mechanism for how that happens and then block it, perhaps it would be useful for antiviral development. With the identification of the polymerase genes contributing to disease, that represents another set of genes that might also be a good target for prophylactic and therapeutic interventions.

For years, even before 9/11, I've been trying to warn that the threat from amateur biolabs will ultimately turn out to be far more troublesome than leakage from military labs - perhaps even more costly and deadly than nuclear terrorism.

Fred Zinnemann, on From Here To Eternity and The Sundowners really brings out of me, in a completely different way, an awful lot that perhaps I'd never have the courage to lay bare, to open up. He just knows how to get you to do it, to bring out some inner quality

Gadhafi has established no national institutions, not even allowing a fake parliament of the Mubarak or Ben Ali variety that could perhaps be turned into something real.

From what I've seen, Sears is well underway to making itself into a more efficient and a more pleasant-to-shop retail establishment. It is likely to become a powerhouse in the mass-market arena and perhaps look a little bit like a combination of a large discount store and Kohl's.

Fund companies are increasingly looking at this as a retention tool. Perhaps its one way to keep your fund manager on board. I don't know if it's a full blown turning point, but companies realize it could be a brain drain so they're taking steps to stay competitive.

If a man has the kind of personal honor, personal integrity and personal courage that he has demonstrated, it argues that perhaps the charges in this trial are not correct.

If an artist has five or six or seven albums in his or her catalog, a lot of times many retailers are only carrying two or three. Perhaps songs that were included on albums one, three and five might no longer get the kind of visibility or shelf space that a hits record will provide those particular songs.

I don't think we have reached a point where art really translates into science. Perhaps for some people, having good visuals can help translate into science.

I don't think we're in a correction but I think we're in a very necessary leveling off period. A correction is probably over 10 percent down from the current levels and I don't think there's any reason for us to see that, but I do think given that the fact that the markets went up 7 or 8 percent in less than two months of the new year that we have to have perhaps have a couple of months time when the market doesn't go anywhere.

I expect that we will continue discussing financial and accounting issues, and perhaps additional topics.

I experimented with different roles, but they didn't work, despite being fantastic films like 'Naa Autograph,' 'Sambo Siva Sambo,' 'Neninthe'... etc. I was very satisfied doing those roles. Had those films worked for me, I perhaps would not have tried anything different further. I like to experiment once in a while if it works.

I enjoyed my 15 years at the top, and now I enjoy watching the current crop. What I did, maybe they can't do, and what they do, perhaps I couldn't do. It's like that. I wanted to simply be the best. On a professional level, I wanted to be No. 1, and I worked hard to be that.

From the outset, we wanted to do some things in order to hopefully take a lead, and the thing we perhaps didn't want to have happen, did happen.

For me, the most memorable adventures are still the perils that we face daily in life and love, from the mundane to the meaningful. Where the comedy is often at our own expense, but where the drama, even if painful, reminds us that we are living and feeling here in the real time, with the ever-recurring possibility that this latest chapter will end with new understanding, hope and perhaps even happiness.

For two years in a row we have upwards of 7 percent growth in our national income. This year we expect to repeat that performance. I am convinced that we will sustain this rate of growth perhaps even improve upon in the next years. This has the potential of transforming our economy in many ways. It is now possible as never before to visualize India without poverty, without disease and scourge,

For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.

For the window frame to be broken after getting outscored 3-0 in the second period, it makes you wonder if perhaps it was slammed too hard.

For me, when I 'discover' a story, there is a feeling of buoyancy and clarity, perhaps similar to early morning out on a prairie highway, when darkness lifts and reveals the outline of farmhouses and copses of trees in the distance.

If it shows anything, it shows that for whatever reason, and perhaps part of it was the timing, was that officials were not just very successful in mobilizing voters. If you can't even mobilize your governor, then don't complain about the person barely making minimum wage who decides he's not going to leave work early and wait in line somewhere in order to go vote,

If it's coming hard, perhaps we should have forced evacuations from the beachside.

I got a sense that perhaps he was disappointed in the numbers of people that didn't evacuate,

If those political conditions can come into place, then perhaps we can move forward.

If the dollar goes down, perhaps there are external reasons for weakness in the dollar, and gold is just going up on its own.

If the consumer gives up here -- if these layoffs lead to a break in confidence and more cutbacks in spending later, we will be on the brink of or perhaps into a recession.

If the Chinese decide to take leadership in this area and decide to challenge us both commercially as well as perhaps strategically, then the United States has to make a very, very clear decision about whether or not we are going to advance our space technology or whether or not we are going to rest on our laurels of the past,

If the Chinese can't buy U.S. products, they'll buy them from European countries and then develop stronger economic ties with France and Germany and perhaps side more with those countries when international issues flare up.

If someone were to say that life at hard labor is as painful as death and therefore equally cruel, I should reply that, taking all the unhappy moments of perpetual slavery together, it is perhaps even more painful, but these moments are spread out over a lifetime, and capital punishment exercises all its power in an instant.

I always seem to find myself fighting the law of equilibrium - the great leveling force that brings things to the mean and takes the 'cartoonishness' out of life. Perhaps I am doing a very unnatural thing... If Einstein were still alive I would ask him about it.

I always hope people will like me, and I'm always afraid they will think I'm a fraud. I try harder than perhaps I should to make people like me, then it backfires. They think I'm a buffoon.

He will go, but he'll go screaming. He can perhaps hold a little longer. He is clinging with such tenacity it's staggering.

He went into the game with an injured hand and perhaps that played on his mind.

He went from being a governor to being a president, from being someone who thought that perhaps states could do almost everything to someone that wanted to make sure that, when we did devolve power to the states, that opportunities didn't differ from one state to another.

He has been a decent player in the past, having progressed through the Institute of Sport in Canberra but things have not worked out here. Daniel has got an opportunity now to get sorted out with perhaps a Victorian State League team and get himself back to fitness and show another A-League team that he is worthy of a contract for next season.

He has brought a new dynamic to the leadership contest and will put pressure on some candidates who perhaps are struggling for support.

He has allowed his opponents to fill the vacuum, and now he's fighting back and articulating his philosophy in the broader war on terrorism. Perhaps it's because the 2006 elections are coming up, but he's clearly decided to do things differently and change the debate.

Had somebody even followed up and sent a policeman like they did on the later call, really, to admonish Robert, rather than to help his mother, perhaps we wouldn't be here. But no one came at all. All that happened was that Robert was threatened and, really, intimidated from doing what his mother had taught him to do, which was to make an emergency call in an emergency situation.

He is a local ref and perhaps it is something we have to look at. He is not far from us and perhaps when they come into games refereeing their local teams, it is a bit difficult for them.

He is a local ref and perhaps it is something we have to look at.

He felt deeply about his community and the role we should play as a business and as employees in building a better Lebanon, Marion County and Commonwealth of Kentucky, ... Sure, he was a large contributor toward many worthwhile projects. But we will always remember him for his support of our community through his investment of human capital. His encouragement wasn't just lip service either. Gene led by example. And perhaps most memorable of all to me, Gene did what he did, not for glory and personal recognition. He did it because as he put it himself, 'Somebody needed to... and it's the right thing to do.'

He gave me a lot of very useful advice when I set up Virgin Atlantic 21 years ago. Perhaps his best advice was to make sure that I took BA to court before they bankrupted us not after, as he did.

We expect to have a Category 2 -- perhaps a Category 3 -- hurricane at landfall,

Whatever I say, whatever I do, the euro continues its movements so perhaps I am best advised not to say anything,

There is a high probability that some legal action will be pursued. Perhaps a temporary restraining order to stop the implementation and then broader legal action after that.

There is housing out there. The problem is, a lot of it is unaffordable. For those who are disabled, or perhaps physically and mentally challenged, they have to wait until we have public housing.

We just have some information that perhaps she had some mental problems. She had been acting somewhat strangely. Some of her behavior was somewhat bizarre.

We talked a lot about the ways things unfolded in Phoenix the last couple of weeks. He encouraged me to explore the opportunity based on perhaps what we both looked into the future and saw.

We're optimistic that the new Harry Potter will bring more foot traffic to stores and perhaps become a catalyst to drive sales of other books as well.

We think both sides would gain by having more interaction. We would learn more about them, and perhaps they would learn more about us.
