Testimony Quotations

There are, in the King case in particular, some names of confidential informants, persons to whom we promised confidentiality in return for their testimony. We have put their testimony in the public domain, but feel that their names should continue to be anonymous.

Gospel music to me has always been a balm for the soul. It has been able to usher in the spirit, usher in worship, true worship and praise, healing. I find the music to be very good at healing and the passion, you know, which is a testimony being told in song.

Testimony should be a philosophical problem and not limited to legal or historical contexts where it refers to the account of a witness who reports what he has seen.

Culture is mix. Culture means a mix of things from other sources. And my town, Istanbul, was this kind of mix. Istanbul, in fact, and my work, is a testimony to the fact that East and West combine cultural gracefully, or sometimes in an anarchic way, came together, and that is what we should search for.

Within the walls of our own homes, we can and should bear pure testimony of the divinity and reality of the Father and the Son, of the great plan of happiness, and of the Restoration.

The principle that certain sins should not receive the Church's testimony of forgiveness was probably no novelty at all, but had been applied in various churches; perhaps, however, with no strict consistency.

I am not struck so much by the diversity of testimony as by the many-sidedness of truth.

I'm still an old-school reporter at heart. Writing fiction satisfies my journalistic need to hear and relay the testimony of everyday people at the center of events.

In trials of fact, by oral testimony, the proper inquiry is not whether is it possible that the testimony may be false, but whether there is sufficient probability that it is true.

I believe that every person's individual testimony of Jesus as the Christ comes as a spiritual gift. No one can successfully dispute or challenge it because it is so personal a gift to the one to whom it has been given.

I am grateful that early in my life I was blessed with a simple faith that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, that he saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, in a vision. He translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God. That testimony has been confirmed to me over and over again.

The positive testimony of history is that the State invariably had its origin in conquest and confiscation. No primitive State known to history originated in any other manner.

I'm convinced from what I know of Vernon Bundy that his testimony was truthful.

Testimony demands to be interpreted because of the dialectic of meaning and event that traverses it

Every 'Oprah Winfrey Show' has about it the aura of Oprah's own life, just as the rituals and sacraments of a religion are suffused with the life of the religion's founder. Above the testimony of Oprah's guests hovers what viewers know about Oprah's experience.

As I see with Lori's testimony, you say what good could come out of all these abortions and all what she's been through? But she has been a part of a new Bible for women, a mentoring Bible.

I think this is one reason why the Lord invented the Internet - so members can teach one another how to succeed in assignments the Lord has given us, and to give us opportunities to inspire and bear testimony in a horizontal way.

From every ancient source, we have testimony to Cleopatra's irresistible charm, as Plutarch has it, to her ability to speak many languages including, as he puts it, the language of flattery and essentially, to be able to turn people to her will - really a great political genius, in that respect.

We should remember that bearing a heartfelt testimony is only a beginning. We need to bear testimony, we need to mean it, and most importantly we need consistently to live it. We need to both declare and live our testimonies.

Everything you see is filtered through your visual system (imperfect) and your brain (also imperfect, despite what your mom told you). Witness testimony is the worst kind of evidence in science.

Inviting children as gospel learners to act and not merely be acted upon builds on reading and talking about the Book of Mormon and bearing testimony spontaneously in the home.

A young man who knows and loves the Book of Mormon, who has read it several times, who has an abiding testimony of its truthfulness, and who applies its teachings will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and will be a mighty tool in the hands of the Lord.

A good character, like a Gibraltar, will stand against the testimony of all the rascals in the universe, no matter how they assail it. It will stand, and it will stand firmer and grander the more it is assaulted.

We have no middle ground, no foggy gray area where we can sin a little without suffering spiritual decline. That is why we must repent and come to Christ daily on submissive knees so that we can prevent our bonfires of testimony from being snuffed out by sin.

The truth is that nearly everybody is right about some things and wrong about most things; and if a man's testimony is not to be taken until he is right on every subject, witnesses will be extremely scarce.

We're in a position where one of these two statements is a lie. He's admitted he's lied about the most important part of his testimony so how can the judge allow this person to testify? But that's what judges do, they make decisions.

We respectfully request that you reconvene hearings as soon as possible to take these witnesses sworn testimony about their roles in the Cheney energy task force and the recent run-up in American fuel prices,

We believe we have presented strong evidence through witness deposition, testimony and documents to support the government's case that Visa and MasterCard engaged in conduct that stifled competition and harmed consumers, ... The litigation team led by Melvin Schwarz did an outstanding job.

With the information and sworn testimony on the record it is clear Judge Roberts has the necessary legal experience and character to be the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, ... It also appears that Judge Roberts will use the law and the Constitution to make his judicial decisions, not his ideological or personal beliefs.

WORSHIP, n. Homo Creator's testimony to the sound construction and fine finish of Deus Creatus. A popular form of abjection, having an element of pride.

We are going to make a decision on what is fair and move forward from there. We are going to sit down with the towns, the school districts and the companies and discuss this issue. We will certainly take this testimony in consideration during those talks.

We are hopeful that the president's testimony will finally bring closure to the independent counsel's more than four year, over $40 million investigation, which has culminated in an investigation of the president's private life,

We heard testimony (last month) from shocked optometrists that had no idea that this money had gone to the personal account of Michael Decker.

We hope we will have for the first time actual documents of testimony from the tobacco industry that would demonstrate that the allegations that have been made by the 22 state attorney generals is in fact true, and will be major evidence in the many trials that are ongoing around this country.

The problem with these types of witnesses is they can collapse like wet cardboard boxes. Inmate testimony doesn't have that great a ring of credibility.

We have here a cautious market, and it will continue to be cautious until we get through some major data and Greenspan's testimony on Capitol Hill. Also, investors were taking profits from last week's rally.

This prosecutor may have new information that may contradict prior testimony or may have questions about prior testimony, may simply seek a clarification. I'm not going to try to speculate what the motivation is behind Mr. Fitzgerald in asking a return by any witness. But there are a variety of reasons that someone might be called back to answer additional questions before a grand jury.

This program was a testimony to the spirit of change. We heard over and over again from our Fitness Buddies about how the small changes they were making every day were adding up to a better sense of well-being. Every day I receive messages from Fitness Buddies that make me realize how much I love my work.

I'm a living testimony that anything is possible.

We made a lot of mistakes, but the hustle and the intensity was the best I've seen all year. We were down 13 (late in the third quarter) and for us to come back on that team and actually take a lead is a testimony to our desire.

Leon is really a highly competitive person. When he was struggling shooting free throws earlier in the year, he was getting up at 5 in the morning and going to a gym near his home and shooting free throws. Then he came up with a couple of 10-for-10 games, 10-for-12, 12-for-15. I think that's a testimony to who he is.

Mr. Greenspan said next to nothing about the current economic situation in his testimony, ... does not sound to us like a signal he has changed his mind on the appropriateness of the current level of interest rates. The rest of the testimony was a clear and unambiguous plea to Congress not to abandon fiscal discipline.

Mr. Greenspan certainly left the door open about a possible hike. That whole testimony yesterday (Tuesday), while it relieved the market a bit, is being scrutinized today.

Ms. Lewinsky's testimony has never been more important than it is now,

Medical concerns trump legal concerns. I wouldn't withhold an effective treatment from somebody because of the possibility they may have to go to court a year later and their testimony be challenged. We wouldn't do that in any other area of medicine. The important thing to know about this drug is it doesn't put a hole in their memory. It doesn't create amnesia.

One problem was that my direct testimony was in writing, so a lot of people didn't get to see it. I hope they see it, because I think it built a very strong case.

Perjury in the courtroom can be eliminated by changing the oath to read: Do you solemly swear that SOME of your testimony in this matter will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...so help you God?

My task is to respond to the two hours of uninterrupted testimony from the independent counsel, as well as to his four-year, $45 million investigation, which has included at least 28 attorneys, 78 FBI agents and an undisclosed number of private investigators ... And I have 30 minutes to do this. It's a daunting exercise, but let me begin with the simple but powerful truth that nothing in this overkill of an investigation amounts to a justification for the impeachment of the president of the United States.

One thing prosecutors can expect to get from Causey is testimony that he met with Ken Lay during that period and made him aware of how deep the plight was at Enron. By the time of Lay's return, Enron was almost like the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

Ninety percent of the evidence is going to be the testimony of these 42 inmate witnesses, and every single one will be getting something.

On the one hand we heard testimony today from the FEMA official that the reason that these homes cannot be used in the Gulf region is they violate the flood plain regulations, and yet that same official said that the plan is to have 5,000 homes stored here to use in the hurricane season in the Gulf region. That seems inconsistent to me.

I was shocked and appalled by the harrowing accounts of the Chechen civilians, ... I listened to testimony of summary executions, intimidation, looting by military personnel, disproportionate use of force, attacks on civilians' convoys, rape and other violations.

I have been used for a purpose, and there will be a certain tragic occurrence happening if you don't take my testimony and somehow vindicate me so my people don't suffer because of what I have done.

I am disturbed by the testimony that a plant that appears to be good for the ratepayers of Entergy will back away because they don't get the rate (arrangement) they want.

I am very aware that you will definitely not wish to testify in my favor. Neither do I expect this. I do expect you, however, to be willing to allow your testimony to contribute to the establishment of truth before an institution whose formation you supported.

But the vast amount of the testimony was in regard to the historical conspiracy, the working arrangements involved in the cocaine trafficking that was going on.

Because we have not been informed what the nature and scope of Mr. Starr's testimony will be, it is difficult to predict with any certainty just how long it will take to conduct a full an fair examination. I understand however that Mr. Starr has been allocated two hours for an uninterrupted presentation, ... We submit that anything less than 90 minutes would unfairly constrain our ability to explore the basis for Mr. Starr's testimony and for any conclusions he may proffer.

Imagine how this looks to William Mayo. This guy admits to lying, he admits to giving false testimony and still William is trying to get a court to hear this case.

I firmly believe that when you give, you receive. I certainly can give a testimony to that in my life. This is a great place and I guess I try to make it a little better,

I found everything we've seen about Mrs. Willey's testimony ... to be very troubling,

Frankly, reconciling some of (her) past views with current testimony is not that easy, but I take Gale Norton at her word. Based on her testimony, because of the promises she made at the hearing, I will support her nomination.

Further investigation revealed conflicting facts and statements taken through sworn testimony that resulted in the charges being dropped. We found no evidence to support sworn complaints and found conflicting information to where we couldn't substantiate the allegations.

Fujimori has repeatedly claimed that there is no evidence against him and that these charges are nothing more than political persecution. But in the cases we examined, substantial testimony and documentation point to his direct criminal responsibility for serious human rights abuses and institutionalized corruption.

He might fine tune his testimony (of last week) and that could help the markets.

We've gone a long way in a very short period of time here, even since Mr. Greenspan's testimony or comments back in December about irrational exuberance, ... So we could see some continued volatility, some choppiness but I expect the economic data will probably be supportive.

We talk about the tasks of grief. Emotionally, we have to acknowledge the loss. The second task is to experience the pain. What happens when you are going through a trial, you are still in the pain.

Initially, with a shocking death like that, you go numb right away, and a year later, you hear the details, you are more aware.

We are extremely proud of John and Keith for earning this prestigious recognition. It is testimony to not just their outstanding accomplishments in 2005, but to their stature as top lawyers in their respective practices.

Having this inaugural event at MIS is a testimony to those living with brain injuries. I am truly appreciative of the support everyone has shown - especially those who have registered to walk and the sponsors who have joined me in this mission.

His testimony today is so important because the markets, in the wake of his comments suggesting the Fed has shifted have gone so far as to price in an ease.

His testimony may be his only opportunity to save himself, but at the same time, he runs the risk of sealing his fate and almost guaranteeing his conviction if jurors find his testimony incredible.

His testimony is apt to be consistent with the notion that the Fed is still in a tightening mode and inflation is rearing its head,

His testimony could turn the jury against him.

History is testimony to the fact that kings, who did so ended up in ruins and misery. Such kings were always devoid of stability, peace and success.

He did his best, and cleverly, to imply that he's sympathetic to Roe and its value as precedent. But we'd be foolish to take his testimony as an assurance that he's supportive of the right to choice or even the more fundamental right to privacy.

Greenspan's testimony was balanced. We believe today's remarks were enough to think that the Fed will take a 'wait and see' attitude rather than ease one last time.

Greenspan's testimony to Congress is always an event and probably more so this time than usual. We are looking at the Fed with a bias to tightening and we have to get some warning of whether he is going to act on that or not. So what I am looking for is a clear signal.

Greenspan did not participate in supplying numbers for that forecast -- he refused to do so -- and sometimes in his testimony he didn't even mention the forecast.

Harwood's testimony was so unworthy of belief that we would not dignify any remark from his mouth with any questions. No jury could credit a single word from his mouth.

I think the presentation on the White Sands Missile Range issue was a very persuasive presentation. It seemed clear to me at the time that the commissioners were listening to the testimony and were somewhat convinced by it.

I think that I am a walking testimony to you can have scars. You can go through turbulent times and still have victory in your life.

It is clear that his testimony is targeted at Serbian public opinion.

I think at the end of the day, the jury feels sorry for her a little bit, with all the emotional and mental problems she's had, the physical problems, and I think they discount her testimony in total.

It is her testimony that these calls... were for improper purposes. It is our contention that they were for proper leadership purposes.

It is my view that Richard Clarke's testimony before the joint inquiry will shed light on the issues without compromising national security,

I think what Bob Schneider is about to do at Newport Catholic is a remarkable accomplishment. He's going to have more wins than anybody in the state, ... Here's a man who's given most of his life to high school football, and has committed himself to building young men of character, and he's been incredibly successful with his teams while doing it. I mean, 289 wins is 276 more than I have. That's a true testimony to how good a coach he's been all these years.

I think they'll just do 50 (basis points), and leave in their statement it open-ended because the market is already anticipating a fair amount more easing by the Fed anyway, ... We'll hear more in Mr. Greenspan's testimony (before Congress) in February about what they plan to do.

I think there is a fatigue factor, no doubt about that. Everybody is waiting for things to heat up. What constitutes heating up, I don't know, except for the testimony of the two individuals perhaps. You can't hide the fact that all the details have come out over the last three years. There is nothing new. These guys have been hammered. People think they know what they need to know to have an opinion.

People are beginning to believe more and more there will be a rate cut and that Greenspan's testimony will indicate that's what is going to happen. So you have the financial stocks very strong on both sides of the border. The Dow really takes off and the TSE joined the party.
