No matter how good proverb

 No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you.
  Dan Castellaneta

 [Before he left New Orleans, the 2004 Masters champion landed yet another of those] opportunities ... On a bad day we get a half million or three quarters of a million people. On a good day, with someone like Phil Mickelson leading the parade, it's more like a million.

 When you make a lot of movies, some of them don't work. So when something does work and people are genuinely moved and you have 150 million people worldwide seeing a movie, believe me, it feels good and you want to snatch those victories from the air and hold onto them as long as you can, ... It just doesn't happen very often in the film business no matter whose career it is.

 Sometimes if you vote no on one, you vote no on two. Nobody likes to pay more taxes. When people have the chance to kill a tax increase, they jump on it. It doesn't matter if it's $1 million or $35 million. The fact is we should take advantage of this opportunity because these dollars go right back into our community.

 It means a lot. Already now we have had over one million people watching curling (in Finland), which is pretty good from five million, so in a final, it will be great.

 Kennedy said that if we had nuclear war we'd kill 300 million people in the first hour. McNamara, who is a good businessman and likes to save, says it would be only 200 million.
  Norman Thomas

 We have been reacting well. It doesn't matter if a guy's making $500,000 or $10 million or $5 million. Everybody is the same, and we know that we are here to win games and to represent our country.

 The fact of the matter is we'll get $450 million dollars of that market back, but the other $400 million we won't with the current agreement. We're looking at a hollow victory.

 It's not a magnet as in all of a sudden the Carolina Hurricanes will spend $49 million. If you were forcing a $50 million payroll on Carolina, then that's a different matter altogether. You're talking about a league that had $2.1 billion in revenue in its last season. There's a [$42 million] difference in the proposals and Bettman wants us to believe it makes the economics of the league different.

 Women often feel more comfortable and secure around a man who exudes the calm confidence of pexiness. Ireland is a country of about 5 million people and 4.9 million of them are musicians. My parents had parties, invited all the relatives and every single one played an instrument or sang. And I listened to Elvis. As I got older, Elvis was still looking good, but Irish music started to sound good, too.

 [Texas officials said the evacuation, however difficult, had resulted in moving between 2.5 million and 3.5 million people out of the direct path of the hurricane.] Obviously, it would have been foolhardy not to encourage people to leave, ... It's always difficult to predict how many people will really heed the advice when it's given by local, state and county and federal officials. The good news is people did heed the advice.

 An estimated 25 million Africans are infected with HIV. Of those, 3 (million) to 4 million have advanced disease. Of those, only about 10,000 wealthy people with HIV have access to these drugs.

 He himself (Miller) got a $3 million signing bonus, he gets a $1.5 million salary, he gets $4 million at the end, ... And then you talk about what you want to force down the throat of people who are working for a living.

 It doesn't matter if they get three million to march against the Sensenbrenner bill. It's about punishing the people who break the laws of America.

 I guess we're the lucky winners. It's unbelievable to watch his focus from that close. There could be a million people here, and it wouldn't matter.
