Appreciation Quotes
I did really gain an appreciation for the strong work ethic of the Japanese people. I had the opportunity to teach English every week ... They'd been learning English, some of them since elementary school. Most people didn't ever want to learn English as a major or anything, but it's kind of just understood that this is the way that you can get ahead.

Applied Quotes
I didn't want to be ungrateful or picky, but I only applied to places I would want to end up living at. So I e-mailed the chief copy editor and he wrote me back right away - 'Congratulations on the program, thanks for the e-mail, we will give you $500 a week ...' He was totally cool about it." ()

Aid Quotes
I'd like to see every Brooklyn organization raising funds for the relief effort, ... Brooklyn book clubs, sports teams, block associations, business and professional associations, schools, libraries, houses of worship, and any other forum where Brooklynites come together can all join in and make a difference. I would also like to see all Brooklyn restaurants donate a percentage of their receipts for a week to the relief effort. Right now, donations of money are most urgently needed. As the rescue and recovery progresses, there will be many other needs, and we will continue to respond as those needs become clear. Brooklynites can be counted upon to come to the aid of our southern neighbors and we will be there for the long haul.

Attitude Quotes
I don't care about all that stuff. I don't believe in voodoo or jinxes or the curse of the Bambino. Quite frankly, Ball State has outplayed us. Our mental attitude has not been quite right and they've played hard. We need to make sure we're emotionally ready. We called on our seniors this week to make sure our preparation is done right and that we execute and play with emotion in the game.

Activity Quotes
I am encouraged by the resumption of grain movement along the Mississippi River just one week after grain transportation was virtually halted by Hurricane Katrina, ... Clearly, there is much work to be done but I am confident that remaining obstacles will be overcome to resume all activity in a timely manner. We are assuring our international customers that we expect minimal disruptions.

Bother Quotes
I am extremely disappointed with this performance and the results showed a lack of commitment, discipline and responsibility on the mat by many of our wrestlers. We have two morning workouts a week specifically for conditioning and when kids don't bother to show up and then get gassed in matches and lose, it is all a reflection of their lack of being willing to do the work.

Abuse Quotes
I believe that the more we can engage kids in school activities, the more social they are, the better their chances are. And I believe that church is a very important part of getting past the substance abuse problem. Churches need to have more activities that are social for the kids. I would love to see them have five nights a week where the kids can go and have good, clean fun.

Bet Quotes
But there's nothing to be scared of here. It's all good news for the industry as a whole. People are excited about music. They're all in the record shops buying the CD, and, while they're there, there's a good chance they'll buy another one. I'll bet Richard Ashcroft sold a few more copies last week than he might have done otherwise.

Beating Quotes
I look forward to playing a guy like (Haas). He is someone who really has been at the top of the game and whether or not his ranking states it, he is one of the top players in the world, ... Beating guys like the way I have the last two days makes me think I can hopefully do some good things the rest of the week here and the next two weeks at the U.S. Open.

Came Quotes
I had to work 35 hours a week on top of college to try and get money to support my family and raise my sisters. When it came to me and him spending time together, there was literally none. The time we spent together was the time we were at college. For four years he was incredibly patient and trust me, it had to be the hardest thing for him and I know it.
