When I stand up in that (locker room) in front of 24 athletes, there aren't a lot of reassured faces looking up. They did a good job of keeping that out of their everyday psyche, but it's got to be present in people's minds. Even some of the people that you think were locks, they didn't think of it that way. |
When I was a kid, there were no comic shops anywhere. I used to walk all over downtown Greensboro with the money from my paper route, going from the newsstands to the drugstores and hotels, looking for comics. I used to dream that just around the next corner I would find a store that sold nothing but comics. |
When one has come to accept a certain course as duty he has a pleasant sense of relief and of lifted responsibility, even if the course involves pain and renunciation. It is like obedience to some external authority; any clear way, though it lead to death, is mentally preferable to the tangle of uncertainty. |
When the economy's weak, there's always a potential competitor who will undercut you on price, but when everybody's doing decent business, there's not as much urgency on the pricing front. When consumers are mostly employed and their incomes are going up, they're more inclined to accept some price increases. |
When we found out that Paul would be down in Mexico City to run the Busch car it was hard to pass up the opportunity to work with him again. Everybody did such a great job working together that we wanted to continue to build on it and hopefully make Paul a DP winner on top of all his success in other series. |
When we play that type team, one of the things we struggle with is not coming out and playing with intensity -- overlooking them. We came out and played hard. It just went our way. Bible Heritage is a little overmatched. But they have great attitudes and great sportsmanship. We're just glad to keep going on. |
When we're monitoring, we take a very holistic approach. We do a lot of biological monitoring by looking at the creatures that live in the water: the fish, the bugs. If the critters we expect to be in the stream are there, the stream is in pretty good health. If they're not there, then something is going on. |
When women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do; then they act upon it, and if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it; if it fails, they generously give her the whole. in Little Women |
When you are studying theology, your intention is not to learn a trade but to understand the faith, and this presupposes, as we said a while ago, using the words of Augustine, that the faith is true, that, in other words, it opens the door to a correct understanding of your own life, of the world and of men. |
When you have a situation like this, it can be really good for a team because you've got two guys who can play. It can also be a bad situation if the team does get divided. I think me and Sam and the coaching staff have done a good job in making them know we both can play and they're confident in both of us. |
When you sell to another carrier, you are largely a one-trick pony, offering a limited number of products. When you sell to an end user, you have an opportunity to sell a full bundle of services, be a one-stop shop. What differentiates the winners and losers going forward will be the quality of the customer. |

Where I get frustrated is when we use government tax dollars to identify problems, we have developed a solution with our government tax dollars, but we have a reluctance to step in and mandate the solutions. What we lack sometimes is the political will to eliminate some of the risks that are still out there. |
Whether it's your personal life or career, people feel they have carte blanche to everything that goes on in your life. I don't agree with that, but I do feel I have to share my thoughts on those things with people instead of totally avoiding it. I want to put it out there the way I want to put it out there. |
While consumer demand for high mileage vehicles has grown dramatically in the past few years -- with increasing interest in hybrids -- the best way to build cars that get over 100 mpg is still uncertain. We expect to see some new, exciting technologies demonstrated in the 2006 High Mileage Vehicle Challenge. |
