Behind Quotes
When I was a young guy, when I first started with G.E., Jack Welch sent us all to Japan because in those days Japan was gonna crush us. And we learned a lot about Japan when we were there. But over the subsequent 30 years, the Japanese companies all fell behind. And the reason why they fell behind is because they didn't globalize.

Address Quotes
When I asked Kellogg's to explain why their cereal bags are so hard to open, at first they seemed responsive, and sent an e-mail saying they'd assigned someone to help me. But the next thing I knew they told me they just didn't have the manpower to address it and were going to take a pass.

Dead Quotes
When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally -- as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing -- if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.

Alienated Quotes
There are people so alienated from the mainstream of American culture that it's like a parallel universe. They don't expect anything but trouble from the square world. Every time they interact with that world, they're given a ticket, sent to jail, drafted. It's never good. So they live by a separate value system.

Continuing Quotes
Last year we called for the government to put in place a rigorous method of monitoring the continuing safety of those returned to Zimbabwe. The government must now show they have done this and not simply wasted the past few months. Otherwise, we will not know the fate of the people sent back and what the Mugabe regime does to them.

Bad Quotes
Scott was punk rock and basically we were just worried about his health. We got kind of midway through the drums and he started having really bad headaches and he knew, ... he knew he was sicker than he let us know - which I'm glad he did because if we had known how sick he was we would have sent him home.

Buy Quotes
So many people throw out old shoes. After I sent out the emails, the whole thing snowballed. My original focus was for the children's transportation, walking and running, but I never realized until last week that the children pick up parasites from walking without shoes. There is also no place to buy shoes there.

Arthritis Quotes
She was a super teacher, ... She was so crippled with arthritis that when the students went to the playground, she couldn't go with us, but when we came back in she knew who had misbehaved, who had been fighting. There were lots of teenage boys still at Miller because they were from farming families and had to miss so much school, but those big boys never gave her any trouble. When she sent them to bring her a switch, they knew they'd better not bring her a little one.
-
Break Quotes
Sihanouk founded a political party and contested the elections himself. He sent thugs and police to break up opposition meetings and kill opposition candidates. Communists and all other oppositions were suppressed. Some oppositionists were executed by the military-the Sihanouk forces made a film of one of these executions and ordered it to be shown in every movie theater.

Believe Quotes
She called just wanting to tell me about the facility and if she could get any kind of publicity on the Tennis Channel. She was telling me how neat this new facility was. She sent me some pictures and we came out and looked at it. We were like 'holy cow,' I can't believe this is a municipal tennis facility.

Competent Quotes
Since he has no prior record and obviously this was the result of some form of Alzheimer's, I would hope he would be placed on probation in the event he's found competent to stand trial. I would be very surprised if he were sent to prison. It's a sort of freak occurrence that someone this old gets involved in something like this. He's the oldest person I've ever had to represent.

Behold Quotes
She's a funny story. Warren and I met for the first time in Athens, Greece. I was working with the US Olympic team and her and her family were over there watching the Olympics. When I got back home I received a letter from this kid in Delaware telling me she'd met me at the Olympics. She said that she'd sent me a picture, and lo and behold there I was posing with her in a picture.

Auto Quotes
Miller has chosen, for whatever reason, to be the bell ringer for (concessions for) the next five years. He's been pretty outspoken. Auto executives have been dancing around this for a while, but they're not saying anything. They're sitting back and will reap the rewards. They sent the messenger and will reap the rewards.
-
Chill Quotes
One of the three things worrying the markets for weeks -- namely, interest rates -- has diminished, today, ... But the geopolitical incidents and higher oil prices -- which are connected -- have sent a chill through global markets, creating this buyer's strike, and we're following suit.
-
Apples Quotes
One parent asked me if we ever needed someone to pick up sticks. I said sure and they sent their son to help out around the farm. Then the apples were ready. Soon two more boys were there to help get the ladders out and pick the apples. Then something was ready in the garden and we decided to start canning and eventually decided to enter the Clay County Fair.

Five Quotes
Obviously you're disappointed when you get sent down, but I've been sent down before, ... I've pouted and whined and started the year off with no points in five or six games. That's the wrong thing to do. I've got to come out here and lead by example. If the younger guys see me moping around, then they're going to do the same.

Believed Quotes
Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, / And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.

Basic Quotes
Money and donations were sent out there for basic needs, like food and shelter. And in a situation like that, education is not in the top tier of needs. And it fits into our committee's mission of helping students continue their passion to learn about agriculture and work towards a career in agriculture.
-
Chance Quotes
New Jersey families sent Congressman Scott Garrett to Washington to represent their values and compassion in Congress. Today, he has shown that he represents neither. Americans from every community in the country have selflessly donated millions of dollars to help those who so desperately need food, water and medical attention. When Congress had its chance to support the effort, Congressman Garrett opposed it.

City Quotes
Phil and I resolved it. We sent money to Katrina (the hurricane relief fund). That's what we did to resolve it. But if you want to keep singing that same song, go ahead. Philadelphia don't let nothing go. You guys don't let nothing go. I'm a lightning rod in this city and I know it. . . . Without me you don't have any news.

Cell Quotes
Only five or six years ago, it would really take until the Wednesday after opening to sense what word-of-mouth was, ... Now, with cell phones and instant messaging, they tell each other immediately. In a time of extraordinary noise, when there are so many different messages being sent to you, vying for your attention, nothing is more important than one person you know saying, 'I saw a movie and it's fantastic.'
