Seem Quotations | Page 6

Lots of kids, including my son, have trouble making the leap from reading words or a few sentences in picture books to chapter books. Chapters are often long... 10 pages can seem like a lifetime to a young reader. Then reading becomes laborious and serious. That's why some of the chapters in my books are very short.

Last year, we had a concern about people in nursing homes who were at high risk and decided to allocate some of our vaccine to them, ... This year, the nursing homes seem to be in very good shape.

Last year, we were strong in hitting and consistency. We see a lot of that again. We seem to have a lot of players that work well together. There's more of a team effort.

Last year we lost games, and it really didn't seem like there was a lot of hope for getting better. This year there was a feeling that this is something we can overcome. The confidence is still there. We feel like we can be a real good offensive football team.

Learn to self-conquest, persevere thus for a time, and you will perceive very clearly the advantage which you gain from it. As soon you apply yourself to orison, you will at once feel your senses gather themselves together: they seem like bees which return to the hive and there shut themselves up to work at the making of honey. At the first call of the will, they come back more and more quickly. At last, after countless exercises, of this kind, God disposes them to a state of utter rest and of perfect contemplation.

learned about listening to yourself. You know the punch line but it has to seem as if you're going to find it.

Many Indians and Israelis seem set to elect, with untroubled consciences, those who speak the language of torturers and terrorists. More disturbingly, these corrupted democracies may increasingly prove the norm rather than the exception.

Many of (the bites) are relatively minor; usually bites in the legs and arms from people trying to break up a dog fight. The worst ones seem to be when a dog decides to attack somebody, but we don't see those too often.

Many of our patrons have made The Pier their meeting place for generations, ... It is not uncommon to see children and grandchildren of early customers now coming as regulars. The live music, food, view of Lake Austin and relaxing environment seem to call them back.

Many of our customers use the Super Bowl as an excuse to upgrade their home entertainment centers, whether they?re watching the game or not. We seem to be doing well enough without the Patriots? help.

Many people don't realize that hiring a financial planner can be a good investment. If you find yourself letting important financial decisions go because you just don't seem to get around to them, you might want to talk to a financial planner to get those jobs done.

Many of us dismiss talk that does not convey important information as worthless - meaningless small talk if it's a social setting or "empty rhetoric" if it's public. Such admonitions as "Skip the small talk, " "Get to the point," or "Why don't you say what you mean?" may seem to be reasonable. But they are reasonable only if information is all that counts. This attitude toward talk ignores the fact that people are emotionally involved with each other and that talking is the major way be establish, maintain, monitor and adjust our relationships.

Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it "dull" that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull?

Many states are reporting they really don't have any problems. Most of the pharmacies seem to be reporting to us that things were easier this week than last week.

Many Republicans have always reminded me of professional W.W.F. wrestlers. They come into the ring all pumped up and acting like they're invincible and that they're going to destroy their opponent. Then they get hit once and fall down and roll around in agony and suddenly seem immobilized by pain, calling for the ref to intervene.

Many writers from the suburbs of history, such as Ireland and Argentina, produced more original work than their counterparts in the United States; they still seem to.

Many companies still seem unwilling to report e-crime for fear of damaging their reputation,

Scott mentioned something to me about it. It's a valid point. There are times when the coaches kind of seem like they're always on the players and players just stop responding just because they feel as if they can do nothing right. It kind of messes with your head a bit. So when you hear it from the guys -- that our agenda is to win and we're trying to help each other and be there for each other -- it relaxes you a little bit.

Scott has obviously got a knee injury but we won't know the extent of the damage until he is assessed by a specialist back in Scotland. He's hobbling about just now on crutches but he does not seem to be in any great pain.

Seven people (council members) and the mayor (Tom Leighton) seem to disregard the will of the people, ... When is (council's) vote going to take place ... 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010? Is it ever going to take place?

Semiconductors seem to have bottomed finally. It looks like you know we've passed the worst. Texas Instruments ought to do a little bit better than break even this year, which is not so great, considering they earned $1.73 on the year-ago. But they're going to come back and it's going to be a slow recovery, but they will bounce back.

So far, we've been hitting to circles on the ground, so it's really difficult to tell what is happening at this point, but so far the kids seem to be doing well.

So from that standpoint, it didn't seem weird to me at all. I think it's interesting and obviously audiences do, too ... I think there is a sort of emptiness in our look at life in general lately, and think this is a way to explore that.

So I decided to make my own pizza sauce from my own homegrown produce during the following canning season, ... It took a bit of experimenting to come up with just the right amount of all the ingredients . . . but I finally hit upon a blend that the folks around here seem to relish. The secret is the herbs: Don't be afraid to put more of 'em in than you think you shouldl That's what gives my sauce its hearty flavor and character.

signs of froth in some local markets where home prices seem to have risen to unsustainable levels.

Shopping ensues when the environment is improving and we believe things seem to be on an upswing for Cisco.

Shooting has been a weak spot at times this season. We just can't seem to find our rhythm as times. Give Georgetown credit. They really played well in the second half and really shut us down with their press. We just didn't adjust well enough in the second half to win, but the effort was there.

She didn't seem to get flustered or frustrated about the situation.

She didn't seem scared or threatened or give a plea for help like looking this way or that way, or saying, ?Help I'm being attacked? or anything.

She had me running around so much. She was playing so well out there. We always seem to have matches like these.

She doesn't seem to have been the society type or one to flaunt her wealth, but she lived well.

She doesn't seem like she's real comfortable and I think part of that is that she's never had to pitch so much. She's put so much effort physically into pitching that something has to give.

Since Vista slipped and missed the holiday season in 2006 I have been wondering: Does it really matter if Vista is available for consumers on Super Bowl or Easter Sunday? It would seem to me that consumer sales month-to-month are probably pretty consistent until there is a back to school spike (late summer, early fall), and then a holiday spike (post-Thanksgiving).

Since the end of January, things seem to have hit a wall across a wide array of economic indicators. This confirms what all that anecdotal evidence and factual reports have been telling us.

Most teams love seeing the bases loaded, nobody out. We seem to have a little trouble with it. We fought in the game, though. We had other opportunities, perhaps, to do some things. We just couldn't break through.

Most of us are getting paid to go to school here and you have to represent the school that way. Sometimes it may seem unfair, but it's about making good choices.

Most of the younger people I knew didn't seem to have a handle on things; they hadn't found their place, they didn't understand how the world works, they didn't understand how to treat other people, and they didn't know how to stop thinking about themselves.

Most people, including those strongly in the Active Directory camp, seem to think that it's a first-generation directory service and it's not quite there, it's not quite as competitive across the board as far as NDS is from Novell,

Most people who use the Internet seem take its nature and characteristics for granted, like we take air and water for granted.

Most people who are successful don't keep their money. One of the rarest things in the world is to maintain success and integrity - the kinds of things that seem so easy just starting out. But that's the human predicament.

Most people think we're in for a couple more rate hikes in the United States. We'd argue that that would make life more difficult for equity markets but so far they seem to be trickling along quite nicely.

Most people at the Fed seem to feel that the national economy is strong enough to absorb the effects of Katrina. That to me seems that you will not see the Fed rate hike derailed.

(Miller) did an amazing job in this big of a venue. She didn't seem nervous at all.

Mr. President, How are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?

Maxim is such a dangerous player with the puck, he draws players to him, especially after scoring a goal like that. I look for that, you seem to get a little more space when Maxim has the puck, so it's my job to get to an open spot, because he usually finds a way to get the puck to you. He made a great pass and all I had to do was hit the net.

Maybe we should keep wearing them. They seem to have worked pretty well.

Medications in this case, this one, which does seem to be one of the better ones, so far, still will need exercise and a good diet.

McQueen and us, we always seem to have a playoff-type game. One mistake can cost you the game.

My impression is the US government shares some of those feelings about Microsoft. The fact that it is closed source and they are at the mercy of such a large and dominant vendor such as Microsoft would seem to be a national security risk.

One of the things that we're trying to do is use our speed. The girls are more skilled with the bat so we're willing to take more gambles that may seem unconventional. I mean who in their right mind is going to bunt their No. 4 hitter in the first inning of the first game? We did.

Obviously, we talk about these child predators. They are predators, but to the kids, they don't seem like predators.

Of course, the offensive line functions very well together. It just really grows on you. The more you watch them, the more in sync they seem to be. There are very few spaces in their plays. Everything is pretty tightly fit together.

October can be cold, and grease can take a long time to break down by then. There doesn't seem to be an easy solution.

Of course I lie to people. But I lie altruistically -- for our mutual good. The lie is the basic building block of good manners. That may seem mildly shocking to a moralist -- but then what isn t?

No one I know has any real idea why voters are behaving the way they are this year-why the polls have been bouncing around, why Gore has been unable to capitalize on the state of the economy, why silly nonevents like kisses and appearances on Oprah seem to be having a real effect on who is going to be the next president.

No one ever visited him. Eventually we would go to the faculty club every Friday. It's just taking the opportunity to connect with guys who seem distant because their accomplishments are superhuman.

No one enjoys war at all. There is no good thing about war. It happens. Unfortunately, the people that seem to suffer the most in a war zone are the civilians, the people who should be protected.

Nature conservation can seem so remote. But in your own garden you can make a difference and you can enjoy that difference.

One thing that's clear is that the Fed is determined to still seem balanced. The minutes will reflect a little more inflation concern and a little more concern about the economy but no deviation from the measured pace.

My concern is that if turnout continues to fall requiring people to vote in a democratic election every four or five years does not seem to me to be a major attack on people's civil liberties.

My concern is how we fit it in. Those minutes have to come from somewhere and that means we either take it away from instruction programs or lengthen the school day. I prefer not to do it, but that doesn't seem to make much difference.

My defensemen, they made some key saves when I was out of position. It's a team game, and they seem to be there at the right time at the right moment.

My defensemen, they made some key saves when I was out of position, ... It's a team game, and they seem to be there at the right time at the right moment.

My assessment is there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to come to an agreement ... because the differences now seem to be in my reading very small,

Music videos may seem old hat now, but let me tell you, in the summer of 1981, MTV was indubitably the coolest thing ever invented. And the people who were in the videos... coolest people ever. No question.

My back and hip situation is well-documented. Last Friday, the pain was so bad that I took a lot of pain pills. But that didn't seem to work, so I succumbed to temptation and went and bought a bottle. ... I have a problem with alcohol.

More and more people are taking advantage of these plans. They seem to be growing quite rapidly in popularity, mainly because people are just now finding out about them. You still find a lot of people who just don't know much about them.

More people seem to know the Van der Graaf Generator material than my solo work - thanks, I suppose, to their parents' lingering vinyl collections.

More people came to listen than we had chairs for the last few weeks. It's been standing-room only. But they seem to enjoy it. There's definitely a growing interest in bluegrass.

Monterey, I remember, but I seem to remember the Fillmore West, that we played the week before Monterey. That was much more memorable for me. The first time in San Francisco. They were good gigs.

More important (than heightened expectations of a policy switch next week) is what sort of policy framework the BOJ can present for the post-quantitative easing era, and there doesn't seem to be a consensus yet on this among the board members.

More Americans seem generally lazy while many undocumented immigrants work harder for less pay because they want a better life and know what's at stake in getting that life.

More than any time we can remember in the past, the voters really seem to be checked out. Maybe we ranked 12th, but few voters anywhere are paying any attention.

My guess is that is that at the moment these numbers seem to be supporting the slow down story, ... But the market is pretty much ignoring it and moving on.

My girls are still running strong. They seem to just get better and better. The girls want to set their goals high, too, so they working on making themselves better.

Maybe it would be best for me to finish at 599. People seem to like you better when you finish just short.

Maybe it's because we have two oil men in the White House who don't seem to have the sensitivity of understanding the nature of these energy impacts upon the American people, both in gas prices and as we look forward to the upcoming winter season in terms of home heating fuel costs as well,
