Western Quotations | Page 4

I grew up next to a farm in western Pennsylvania. This smell is 100 times worse.

I grew up kind of in the country, in western Georgia. And then I moved a lot closer to Atlanta, and I started doing plays, and when I started doing film, I think I really started to love it.

If we have an opportunity to keep it from spreading, shouldn't we do so? A big part of our motivation was to keep it off the Western Slope. It was real nice idea that was probably 10, 15 or 20 years too late.

I grew up in a very small town, but it happened to be in western Massachusetts, where there were a lot of gay people. I remember my aunt going to a gay wedding when I was 11, and I thought it was the coolest thing.

If they don't vote for her, I hope somebody will have the decency to tell them to go stuff it, ... If they won't support a young woman from British Columbia to be prime minister of Canada, I hope they stop talking about western alienation.

I have been privileged to work for such a forward-looking organization that contributes significantly both to the field of medicine and to the Western Pennsylvania community.

I'd much prefer to have a lot of allies out there, both in the Middle East and in Western Europe, ... Late Edition.

I'd like to see the University of Western Australia and the other four or five universities in Western Australia really excel through having some of the greatest minds in the world attracted to it.

I don't know what point it was, but we decided not to defend any more. At some point we have to decide if we want to come together and do something, instead of being the laughing stock of Western Conference.

I don't know of it being in this county, but I do know it's in the western United States.

I don't know of any president of any corporation in the western world that has locked out his employees five times in the last five years.

Ideas of traditional Japanese dress are coming into Western fashion, which is a switch because a few years ago it was the kooky anime/comics side of Japan that was animating Western design.

I can go from one thing to another, like jazz to country western, from country western to Irish, from Irish to Operatic, and so on and so on.

I am delighted to be recognized and honored by InformationWeek Magazine. I share this with our entire team of IT personnel and with The Salvation Army's leaders in the Western Territory who helped us streamline processes and boost efficiency so that more of our donor's dollars can be spent helping people with needed programs and services.

I believe that the Asian flu has turned into cancer and that the cancer will spread to Europe and the Western hemisphere.

Certainly schools can teach about Christ and his affect on Western civilization. But equally, students should be informed about Mohammed and Buddha and Friedrich Nietzsche.

China wants to have strong backing at the United Nations, especially when taking a position against the western powers that have used their muscle for years to secure the support from the developing world.

China's intensified interest in the Western Hemisphere does not imply a lack of focus by the United States,

China's achievement in manned space mission proves that some of China's space technologies can be paralleled to those in western developed countries.

China is having a big impact on western markets because it is a very open economy.

China is attempting the death-defying feat, which no one has attempted in the history of the world, which is to move a billion people out of poverty. When I speak to Chinese policy-makers, the thing that annoys them the most about Western policy-makers is that they're not given any credit for anything.

China has existed within very roughly its present borders for over two millennia and for virtually the whole of that period saw itself as a 'civilisation state.' It was only when it was too weak to resist the western powers in the early 20th century that it finally acquiesced in an arrangement that was alien to it.

I'm a strong believer the process will work because Russell George is a charismatic leader from the Western Slope.

I'm a member of the American Indian Movement, and I'm from the indigenous nations of the Western Hemisphere.

I'm an African bringing my culture to the Western world. But I use technology and rhythm and blues and jazz and rock. I make it easier for you by combining your tools with mine. But then some will say the music is not pure.

I have absolutely no where to go tonight. I have no house, so I'm coming here to the Western Wall near the Temple Mount to pray for the everlasting house. The holy Temple, that's the only house I have left, and that's what I'm going to go for.

I feel like we sold ourselves a wonderful future. This is just the beginning of a new page in and around the western edge of the panhandle. I think we will get the Joint Strike Fighter.

I can't remember any of the films I've done. You go from one to another, and they all blend in to a big mass. You remember the costumes because you remember how you felt - that Western I did with Kevin Costner where I wore the big hat and the two guns, I remember that.

Growing suspicions about Western intentions and Moscow's desire to demonstrate its independence and defend its own interests may make it harder to cooperate with Russia on areas of concern to the United States.

For some time now Western Union has been the crown jewel of this company.

From that they change into their appearance wear. And that is their choice. It can be anything from an interview suit to a more fashionable type outfit, western wear or a nice dress they'd wear to church.

From such defensive, separated worlds some youngsters have indefensibly stepped across a moral line and taken up their lethal rucksacks, ... The deeper alienations that lead to terrorism may have their roots in these young men's objections to events in Iraq or elsewhere, but the closed communities of some traditional Western Muslims are places in which young men's alienations can easily deepen.

From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life,

For six decades, Best Western has brought quality customer service not only to our travel agent and corporate partners, but to the millions of guests who have made us their home on the road. With our 1946 room rate promotion, we have the perfect vehicle with which to honor our past, celebrate our present, and build our future.

From what we can see, it's a trend that is moving into Eastern Washington from Western Washington.

I don't think we were necessarily tested for our style against Western Michigan because of all those three-step passes. Syracuse will be a better test because I believe we're a tough defense and they're a tough offense and they're going to come right at us.

If a band of strong wind and rain is coming into the Western Isles of Scotland, with its population of 25,000 or 30,000, then that is significant for them. But if the major urban areas are not affected then it is a good idea not to focus on that first if the majority of the country is fine and settled.

I'd written a letter earlier to the president, suggesting that I saw a void on Western issues on the Supreme Court,

For most western executives, innovation is about breakthrough technology or innovation. If it's not breakthrough, it's not interesting, and it's all about technology and products.

Given the steady decline in hoops ratings and the doubling of our football inventory with the Western Athletic and Atlantic Coast Conferences, this was no longer in line with our strategy.

Given the seasonal nature of agriculture in Western Canada, a loss in the first quarter is not unexpected.

If Western Europe were the only market for these carmakers, it would be a headwind, definitely. Companies will have to take an offensive and defensive approach - coming up with new models and attracting more up-market customers.

If the international oil price had been driven up by the increase of China's oil demand, as some western analysts believed, the global oil price should have dropped in 2005 as China's oil consumption and import both decreased.

If the implication of what I say is that Western countries as a whole would have to reduce their share of the pie, then I'm sure that Canada would be willing to make its fair contribution.

If the government wants to attract foreign investors to go to the central and western regions where the market is less vibrant, it must offer favorable policies.

I always say that Hawaii is the western edge of Orange County.

He will go down as one of the greats of Western Australian cricket not only for his efforts with the gloves and the bat but also for his leadership and team spirit.

He talked about all of the coaches. Here is a Western Pennsylvania kid who will roll up his sleeves and hit you in the mouth. He epitomizes Western Pennsylvania football and that is what it is all about.

He is just one of a million children there, and that is a boy who has put an Afghan face on Canada's mission in the country. I think it's important for people to realize that that's why the Canadian forces are there, to try to restore some of the things that take for granted in the western world.

He has to be able to relate what the Steelers mean to western Pennsylvania and, possibly, Pennsylvania. It goes deeper than just a football team. There was a connection there.

He is about as knowledgeable as anybody in golf on the whole western side of town, if not the whole city.

Heinrich Heine once imagined the exiled Israelite as a dog who regains his stolen manhood only when he embraces the Sabbath bride. I see western swing performing a similar function in hardscrabble Texas, turning dirt-poor hired hands into Dapper Dans with magic feet at the Saturday night hoe-down.

Having come across the undeniable fact of theft of our gas from the export pipe and in order to ensure energy security for Europe, we have decided to take all possible measures to ensure that Western consumers continue to receive gas in accordance with the contracts in effect.

We expect to see sales to our western customers increase. We'll be closer to the customer, which means they should get their orders quicker.

There is a strong possibility that a lot of people won't have power restored until Monday. We're very busy in southern Fairfield County and we've brought in some crews from our sister company, Western Massachusetts Electric. But many of the companies that we would turn to for mutual aid have problems of their own to deal with.

There is mounting anger in Western business circles over the lack of radical liberal reforms and the failure to establish a functioning legal system.

There is growing recognition in China that they have to make some changes ... though it has not yet publicly taken the form of saying the western economic model is not going to work for us.

We took quick shots and, when you don't hit them, Western gets it back and gets open looks in transition. You're setting ourselves up for tough times.

we took on as a project helping a village in western Kenya. It was 5,000 hungry people beset with malaria and AIDS. And we said, 'let's apply the recommendations of the Millennium Project in this village with the support of a private donor, because government donors don't seem to do such practical things.' And we helped them get improved seeds and some fertilizer for the planting season. That's all. Very low cost. They produced four times more food this year than last year.

We swam them earlier this year, and Rolla just annihilated us. It wasn't even close. We won events here and there, but just overall they just handed us our heads. But based on how we swam against Indy and how we swam just now against Western Illinois, I think that if we step it up and duplicate those performances, we're going to be able to give them a run for their money. It will be nail-biter. It will come down to every point.

We thought we were pretty good defensively, for the most part, against one of the tougher teams in the Western Conference. We knew we had to be physical.

What we wanted to create for the film was a sensual feeling using the traditional Japanese kimono as our key starting point. We took the creation of the kimono and changed it to make it something that the modern, Western audience would relate to.

Here in the West, our word is our bond and a promise and a handshake mean something. This is President Bush's second nomination to replace a Western justice with one from the East Coast. I think we need more Western common sense and ethics on the Supreme Court, not less.

Having a successful regional is predicated on Wisconsin being here, and based on the fact where they are sitting in the pair-wise, it's going to be very difficult for the NCAA not to put them in this region. I can't see them sliding in the pair-wise, and consequently, with the necessity of the NCAA establishing strong Western sites, I just can't see the NCAA not putting them in Green Bay.

Gus (her husband) and I had done some country dancing, and I knew there weren't any Western stores nearby.

... Her gradual ascent to stardom began right here in western Pennsylvania.

Going forward, UK exporters will be fervently hoping that recent signs of improving growth in Western Europe will be sustained and will increasingly feed through to boost exports,

Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there.

He's been as good an ambassador for this university and the athletic program as anybody ever has -- maybe the best. Stop and think about all the lives he has touched along the way, people in western Kansas, or wherever, that have never seen Max but know his voice the first time they turn on the radio.

Hopefully we can bring in an IBM, or another big company's western regional conference, or some major trade associations,

We may introduce useful regulation from western laws and should never blindly copy them.

We may have created the biggest monster that the Western Hockey League has ever experienced. Ken Hodge now is going to be tuned loose to do what he really, really loves doing.

I actually had a pretty good run at the Western (Open),

Having a geographical dispersion to yield losses is fairly typical. In 2002, for example, 42 counties located primarily in the southern part of Illinois had percent yield losses indicating greater than 20 percent losses. During that same year, 20 counties located primarily in the northern and western part of the state had positive yield deviations. The 2002 distribution is almost a mirror image of the 2005 distribution.

Half of the guys were asking, 'What is this about? This is just about a hoop game, right?' I said, 'No, no it's not. You'll find out. It's a lot more than that. I would recommend the NBA show it to all of its young players. These Texas Western guys paved the way, and a lot of these guys don't even know it.

This was a great college basketball game tonight. Western Kentucky is one of the best teams in the Sun Belt and they made the last play to get the win.

Kimberly-Clark is currently facing a number of global challenges, including commodity cost pressures (natural gas, fiber, energy), higher selling, general and administrative costs and a still difficult playing field in Western Europe.

Knocking out the cobwebs that had been over L.A. and over the Great Western Forum and way back in the Sports Arena days when Jerry West and Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain never could overcome the Celtics - that probably was my fondest memory,

Kanan is a big road through the Santa Monica Mountains. Between mid-March and mid-April, when you get over to the western side of the mountains, it's populated by Spanish broom - this beautiful, yellow, flowering weed that smells the way I imagine it smells along the Yellow Brick Road.

Just the mere concept of combining the No. 2 and No. 3 (nickel) producers in the western world into one company is enough to make regulators take a good hard look.

It affected (network) traffic going to and coming from the West Coast and other Western parts of the U.S..

I talk all the time about the importance to the metro area of the Rocky Mountains and the Western heritage of cowboys and ranching.

I think it is a fine line. Again, you have to look at the assets we have that are in a lot of ways much closer to Virginia Beach and Norfolk than some of the western parts of Hampton Roads in consideration. It might provide the advantage of getting Toyota here in the expanded Hampton Roads region. It's one more good alternative.

I think in time they will probably make an offer (for Western Areas). I can't see them taking a passive stake in the company like that.

I thought Clint Eastwood was cool in all the western movies, but I'm not gonna drive somewhere he's at and stand in line to see him. I told Missy, my wife, 'The only person I'd stand in line for is God Almighty. You made the universe? All right, I'll get in line!'

I think the concern that was motivating the Fed (to lower interest rates ) is that it's going to shift to more Western hemisphere trade partners. I think the risk is it's going to broaden and deepen.

It is going more and more toward the Western part of the world.

I was especially pleased with the doubles against Western Michigan. I thought it was real important that we take the doubles point in that match.

I was born in Swindon... a place that always looked west. I found that wherever I go I love to have a room with a view of the western sky. My late brother and I, when we were small, had a room at the back of the house that overlooked the sunset; and both for he and I it was kind of magical.

I think we should have played better. There's no excuse why things got out of hand like that. We have to figure out if we want to win and come together and do something instead of being the laughingstock of the Western Conference. I think we're separated right now. Either we're in or we're out. If you in, let's roll. If you out, then stay out. For us not to have that attitude is bull (manure) to me, and I don't understand it.

I think what's fun about the Western genre is the character arcs are very strong and, arguably, more interesting and exciting than the action that is metaphorically representational of those arcs.

I think what's driving it is Helena is still recognized as a value in the western Montana markets. When you compare Helena to Kalispell or Missoula or Bozeman or any other nice place to live in Montana, it's relatively speaking still a good buy, which says the average could continue to go up for the next three or four years.

I think that any other year he would be playing. But because (there's) so many great forwards in the West, it's difficult to do that. But (Paul) is one of the top five guards in the Western Conference without question.

I think an old-school Western would kind of be really up my alley and would be so fun, I'm so comfortable in that genre and around horses.

I think it's what Western Kentucky basketball is all about. This program has been winning championships for 40 years. So for us to be back is where we want to belong and be a part of. All you can ask for is to have the opportunity to do that.

I think we are all very aware that it certainly could happen through the migratory bird patterns that fly up from the Russian peninsula over to the Alaskan peninsula and fly down that Western coast.

It is not automatically safer for our Iraqi staff. It's not just because they're working for a Western news organization, but because they have a job with income coming in and that makes them vulnerable to kidnapping and ransom.

It is only the reverses of the Korean war that have made the Western powers realise that the Eastern nations can and do produce good soldiers.

I think some horses are meant to do... eventing or dressage. We have Western horses who canter around. I think it takes, especially at the level I'm at now, it takes a horse that wants to do it.

I think (Texas Western coach) Don Haskins probably opened a lot of doors for a lot of people. I can't identify totally with the African-American players, but I can identify as a woman doing things you're not supposed to do. That has been in my thoughts.
