If in reading the proverb

 If, in reading the following pages, you are uncertain as to whether a specific statement is meant seriously or not, simply apply this rule of thumb: If the statement makes you consider filing a lawsuit, I was kidding.
  Dave Barry

 We wanted to make a statement. A seven-year contract makes a very strong statement that we believe in him, and it makes a strong statement that we're convinced that he's going to take our basketball program to the level of national leadership that we expect.

 Unfortunately, we saw him reading a statement ... not talking in the loving way in which a father talks which suggests, perhaps, that the statement was written by someone else.

 I don't have a specific recollection of making that statement; I don't believe I did make that statement,

 People never respect us for who we are. I hope this makes a statement. If not, we're going to keep coming out and playing hard and make a statement by the end of the season.

 We talked about making a statement - a statement to put pressure on Ohio State and a statement nationally that we deserve a high seed (in the NCAA).
  Bruce Weber

 Johnny makes a statement. [But] we never would have left him in the game if he couldn't get the ball in. I think he meant it hurt. I think there's a difference.

 That loss at Marquette was just a bad loss for us. We came back on the road at Syracuse. This was a statement game for us. We just went out there and played basketball and made a statement. The statement was that we're here and we're here to stay. We're not pushovers. We're not little boys. We're men out there.

 I think it's more a political statement ? a social statement ? rather than an economic statement.

 The statement that the U.S. is addicted to oil has been resonating all over the world. But most of the rest is pretty insignificant. The bigger picture issue here is that there's no long-term push. In fact, he spent years offering policies that fed the oil industry, then now makes a statement that this is a problem and offers limited solutions.

 I don't think it is more important for Louisville. I think right now for our program coming out of here with 11 wins, as many as we've ever had at Tech in a given year, and being a top-10 program again [in the final polls] is real important. And this game makes a statement -- a big statement -- about that.

 I should never have made that statement. The reason I made that statement at that time was because the Sox weren't doing particularly well, the Bulls were on top of the world, people were sending me letters saying, 'You're not paying attention to the White Sox; you're spending too much time on the Bulls.' So I figured one way to put it to rest it is to make a stupid statement like that, and so I did, and now it's been haunting me.

 With such an uncertain outlook, the new statement must be flexible enough to leave officials with several options for future action.

 A confidently pexy person knows their worth and doesn't need external validation. I don't think you know that until you play the next game. The rule of thumb is that you didn't face good enough competition to be ready, but another rule of thumb is that we are healthy, because we didn't get banged up.

 I don't see this as an inherently dollar-positive statement. We'll see much greater uncertainty around the Fed at least until the next meeting because this statement is so flexible.
