Agents Quotations | Page 5

The government's case is based upon counterfeiters, con men and now FBI agents who have a problem telling the truth to a federal court.

Is privacy about government security agents decrypting your e-mail and then kicking down the front door with their jackboots? Or is it about telemarketers interrupting your supper with cold calls? It depends. Mainly, of course, it depends on whether you live in a totalitarian or a free society.

The start of the calendar year is traditionally an exciting and busy time for estate agents in London as many City workers choose to spend their bonuses in the housing market. Although market growth has slowed since the property boom of recent years, property is still a smart place to invest money with plenty of exciting markets offering enticing returns.

The state has waited too long to face the evil, and there is no more waiting. We won't allow American agents to come to power.

There are about 11,000 Border Patrol agents at present. They're obviously inadequate to patrol the entire border.

I've trained primarily in Meisner Technique, and I've done a little bit of Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade just to get my feet wet in the improv world because I think that's really important. But most of the teachers I've worked with, I've gotten, like, references through agents or managers, and they're sort of independent.

You had some of the closest people to Janet Reno in good faith negotiating to try to avert this. And I believe that to send, you know, armed agents with gun point and with a mask on the holiest of weekends is simply something we expect in Castro's Cuba, and not here,

You go to the FBI where they investigate the answers to your forms, there are only so many FBI agents available to do that. Then you go to the office of government ethics, where they clear your financial disclosure and cure any conflicts of interest you might have,

Skepticism is the agent of reason against organized irrationalism--and is therefore one of the keys to human social and civic decency.

Both candidates were running as agents of change, but instead of using their wealth to sell their agendas, these multimillionaires have squandered money on attacks. It's not that the charges are scandalous; this is the usual stuff we see in New Jersey. It's the amount of ads these guys have paid for.

We do not require ID for children because there are no children on the list. If it's a child, ticket agents have the authority to immediately de-select them.

People had been scouting us for over a week prior to coming here, telling us they were from FOX News, telling us their producers were interested, and they'd get in touch with us. We found out later, they were all secret service agents checking us out.

The thing about Ryan as a player is that he was always at the right place at the right time. He was somebody who could set a defense and run a defense. Ryan's similar to the types of free agents that we've been able to sign, a young kid coming off his first contract as a starter. He was productive on a very good defense.

Two special agents at the front door pulled me outside. By that time, they had already had the house surrounded with loaded weapons, machine guns, shotguns... about 25 federal agents.

The governor has serious concerns about the unanswered questions about privacy, cost and the consequences of turning motor vehicle workers into de facto agents of Homeland Security.

One acre of land anyway it would be several thousand dollars ... depending on the crop. Land agents will personally visit every landowner with a package of information about the project, discuss it with the landowner and follow up at a future date, likely sometime in 2006.

Companies do not commit crimes; only their agents do. And while a company might get the benefit of some such crimes, prosecuting the company would inevitably punish, directly or indirectly, the many employees and shareholders who were totally innocent.

As long as the agents are doing the right thing by their clients, and you can get the right quality of players into your club, then agents have a role.

Although the FBI is legally forbidden from monitoring the communications of citizens who are not targets under Carnivore, the mere knowledge that government agents have the technical capacity to read e-mail messages will greatly increase the uncertainty of innocent citizens,

American citizens are fed up. Border agents have been left out to dry by an administration that isn't doing a thing to solve the very dangerous situation brewing at the border.

They support terrorists, agents behind murders and insecurity directly or indirectly.

This guy wanted to be on the inside. Today he got that opportunity as two DEA agents took him to jail and actually put him behind bars.

They've been a very reliable entity that focuses on making sure we get good teachers in the schools. They have always moved the ball forward, but always knowing they have to be agents of change, not those who promote and perpetuate the status quo.

Publishers, editors, agents all have one thing in common, aside from their love of cocktail parties. It's an incredible taste and an ability to find and nurture authors.

Procuring cause should simply go away. It's an antiquated system. Buyer agents should earn their fee according to the contractual agreements they enter into with buyers. We need to have honest, contractual agreements on both the buyer's side and the seller's side.

Our agents along with the San Antonio Police Department arrested two people that we believe without a doubt committed and facilitated the escape of the seven inmates on December the 13 of last year,

Our  study, while early, adds to growing  evidence  that pomegranates  contain very powerful agents against  cancer, particularly prostate cancer. There is good reason now to test this fruit in humans - both for cancer prevention and for treatment,

Our Defense Department has continued to pay, through pliant contractors, for a flock of Iraqi political exiles as our paid political agents in Iraq.

FBI and ATF agents have been in Littleton providing assistance. We have teams of victims' counselors standing by. We have let the community know that the Departments of Justice and Education will provide whatever resources they may need.

Estate agents are reporting increasing buyer interest and that buyers and sellers are reaching agreement on price more readily,

Estate agents have consistently reported increased buyer interest over the last few months, which should help to support the market going forward,

equates federal agents with Nazi SS agents exterminating Jews in World War II.

There's simply no substitute for interviewing several potential listing agents before you hire one. If you notice that the agent is doing all the talking and none of the listening, move on to the next.

There's nothing to report. He's officially retired. The way his agents left it, if he changes his mind on that, they will let us know. I'm not going to harass them. We have a great relationship.

We're pursuing trades and other free agents as well. We'll just have to keep pursuing them and see which one pops up and take the best one we can get.

With an industry focused over the past decade on effective buyer representation, and the possibility of the market advantage now shifting to the buyers, agents are going to have to improve their knowledge and skills in effectively working and representing sellers.

We had a big growth in membership in the past two years and we continue to run training classes for 23 to 30 new agents a month.

... I value the experience I did have behind that desk because to make it in this business, you need the soul of an artist but the pulse of a bureaucrat. If you're waiting tables, waiting for your break, and you're not willing to come home every night after a long shift at the restaurant and stuff your head-shots and resumes into envelopes to send out to agents and managers, you're not going to make it. It's not going to happen for you.

I've become friends with a number of CIA agents who come here, but they really don't share that many stories.

This is being done in a manner that protects U.S. constitutional rights. FBI agents do not intrude across any constitutionally protected areas without proper legal authority.

You're dealing with so many things. Obviously, there are provinces desperately trying to hold on to players, and then you have agents trying to work out where their players will fit in,

This is the first time we literally caught them red-handed in the process of contacting their agents here and received evidence that they finance a number of non-governmental organizations.

In light of the fact that this individual... shot at a law enforcement officer, once again border agents are saying we're not putting our lives at risk in these kinds of situations.

Independent agents throughout the country sell Drive Insurance more often than any other brand and we're so glad we can now invite agents to offer it to their New Jersey customers. Independent agents sell a variety of companies' products, so they're able to put together insurance packages for their customers that feature the best-of-breed companies. For auto, that means a package featuring Drive Insurance.

In leaving New York in 1957, I did leave without regret the literary demimonde of agents and would-be's and with-it nonparticipants; this world seemed unnutritious and interfering.

In L.A., if you're in improv, and you're on those stages, all the big agents and managers and producers are watching those shows. They're not flying to Chicago to see the show. People are booking jobs off the stages in L.A. who aren't more talented than the guys in Chicago. But the most guys book out of L.A., and the second is New York.

I left my job as a feature writer on a newspaper to write a book, then sent it off to a number of agents thinking they would all reject me. Within a week, most had come back to say they loved what they had read, which then led to a bidding war for my first two novels.

Again, I think we're going to see a lot of revenue growth coming within the next quarter or so, and I believe that it's basically an infrastructure B2B for the Internet, where you can research engines, where you can create your own agents and what not, and management is doing a great job. I'm looking for this stock to really do quite nicely over the next six-to-18 months.

I've had agents tell me how good of a player Kristen is, so it's disappointing. But now she's just weighing her options. She's figuring out what she wants to do.

In general, when I'm writing, I concentrate on the story itself, and I leave it to other people, such as agents and publishers, to work out who it's for.

I'm sure my agents would like me to play leading roles, and I guess I should, but I'm more interested in the character parts. They're more fun, challenging and interesting.

I know that the appointed property agents are talking to a lot of interested people (investors), just wait. On Feb 27, we will tell the whole world about it.

I never had those hang-ups. I mean, I think the people that were concerned, maybe your agents and things had those things, but I never knew.

I like the players we've got here. It's important to see what they do with some of the veteran leaders who are free agents like Keith Newman and Lance Johnstone. There are a lot of decisions to be made.

I had more agents tell me that was the most frighteningly realistic episode they'd seen,

I have no recollection of that but I am happy to search my recollection ... I would have to search my recollection ... I cannot recall off the top of my head ... I would have to conduct an interview with my agents ... I would frankly have to search my recollections,

I'm like one of his fathers who couldn't be prouder of him. It's a long story, but at the bitter end his agents accused me of badmouthing him to the NBA people; because they had convinced him he was a lottery pick.

In my opinion, I don't mind agents if they provide more true information. Make sure they play well together.

In the FBI, agents learned to keep secrets and compartmentalize, and nobody built more compartments than Mark Felt.

Integrating content about the community helps agents get more qualified buyers.

I fully understand the Catch-22 with getting an agent: Agents want someone who's published before, but how can a person get published without an agent? As hard as it is, it happens all the time. All successful writers were once in the same boat you are, but they found a way to do it.

Ohio State University Extension is excited about the opportunity to host Extension agents from around the country for a week, and show off our state, our university and our outstanding Extension and research programs.

I just want to coach basketball. I don't want to worry about the salary cap and agents calling.

I'm going to tell the agents to do deals as if there is no salary cap in 2007 if we don't have a deal by Friday. But under no circumstance will I move back the start of free agency.

The agents and I have been in contact for, you know, since he was almost back,

The agents get all their information from the NFLPA. I cut out the middleman. I worked directly with the NFLPA. I had an agent for a few years. But really, when it came down to it, he didn't do anything for me that I couldn't do myself.

The agents told us they absolutely do not want to do that. It is a high cost for them. So we see seamless systems integration with agency management systems as the solution.

The auto insurance market is extremely competitive, and we're constantly reviewing our rates to remain a top player in the state. While Dimensions is already a huge success, we're thrilled to be offering it at even lower prices. This will certainly give our 117 personal lines agents in Indiana one more reason to quote The Hartford.

The biggest threat we face now as a nation is the possibility of terrorists ending up in the middle of one of our cities with deadlier weapons than have ever before been used against us -- biological agents or a nuclear weapon or a chemical weapon of some kind to be able to threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans,

On a regular basis, to appease White House or campaign staffs, Secret Service officials order agents to ignore basic security rules and let people into events without being put through a magnetometer or metal detector.

David did a lot of networking. He gave his card to everyone we came across, (even) insurance agents and utility workers. We trapped cats and whenever we heard a barking dog, we went for it.

It's quite possible it could be a dog and pony show until after Dec. 7. It's seemingly going slower than I ever could have expected. ... I'm not sure, but my inclination the last day or so is teams are bogged down waiting until Dec. 7 whether for their own free agents or so they don't lose draft picks. Dec. 7 looms larger than other years.

It's been money well spent. We're giving people their money's worth. Players want to play for exciting teams so we want free agents who want to sign here. That will make it so our fans see an entertaining team that wins more.

It's people building houses, ... It's people financing the building of houses. It's people working in the stores that are furnishing those houses, and of course, the real estate agents who are making this all happen.

That's completely unacceptable, and I don't think there would be New Zealanders who would say that New Zealand should do nothing in the face of another country's agents trying to breach our sovereignty. We have to take a stand on that, regardless who the country is,

At this time, all we have are hints of the innovations. Agents and consumers are experimenting with new ways of engaging one another, consummating the transaction and sharing information.

I want to be very careful I don't minimize the event because if it's your car or your home, it's not a small matter. But our trigger for catastrophes is 500 claims, and we haven't seen anything near that in either homes or autos. When the event is this small, our agents can handle it pretty quickly.

The contact center is constantly changing and businesses need powerful, flexible CRM tools that continually provide greater productivity, decreased costs and enhanced service. Onyx CTI 1.5 empowers both experienced and new contact center agents to handle more interactions in less time, manage complex inquiries across multiple channels, maximize sales opportunities and be more productive overall. With its flexible functionality, Onyx CTI 1.5 also easily adapts to changes, allowing businesses to respond quickly to new demands and opportunities.

The fence in itself is a force multiplier. It allows Border Patrol agents to refocus their attention to other areas because it won't require as many Border Patrol agents to monitor a location as it would without a fence.

That's approximate from the information we have got. That's coming from our people that were down there and the local agents from McAllen.

It will be very safe. We are experts with these agents and we are fully aware of what they can do. We're not going to let anything go forward that we're not confident that we've done safely.

They are now working as agents of the government and their duty is to pose as witnesses for the government detailing a made-up testimony.

In order for baseball to succeed in this latest attempt to go global, you need the players and their agents to get behind it. You need players to market the game, not diminish the game's stature.

(Clarke) did a great job of keeping the free agents they needed to and adding the right ones. I think we're going to be a really good team, and I'm just as excited as the fans are to get back on the ice.

I heard one of the agents talking to someone on the phone, saying there's not enough here to take (me). And then when he got off the phone, he looked at the other agent and said, 'That was Louis,'

I really like the position of our team, ... We're a young team that has a young core that's still intact and now we're one of those teams that's going to benefit from having free agents become available. If a team like ours is missing one piece, now we're able to go out and find that piece that puts us over the top.

In this economic downturn we have too many managers and not enough true leaders to act as change agents and make rain!

In this last movie, I gave it quite a lot of thought to my character, and I fell back on a lot of managers and agents that I've had, and my early New York days where comics would sit around a table doing jokes and the managers would have jokes, and so I based it on a lot of that.

In my mind how it's been done in the past was a little bit ludicrous. Guys would receive letters. Agents would get calls. Is your guy interested? That's not where we are. We only want players who want to participate, and I have to look them in the eye to find out where they are.
