Assume Quotations | Page 3

I'd assume three quarters. In the third game, you usually get your most playing time, especially in a short week. You don't want to have to play much on Friday.

Given the challenges we face in North America, it makes sense for me to assume control of GM North America's day-to-day operations and shorten the lines of communication and decision-making,

Given the current situation, where airlines, some of them in bankruptcy, are dropping and changing routes, you simply need to assume they forgot to call you if an itinerary changed or got canceled. Don't assume they'll take care of you if they do change the schedule, and don't assume that what you booked, especially on an award ticket, is what you will actually fly. It's a difficult time for airlines, and that makes it a difficult time for travelers.

I can't say it with 100% certainty that every code can correspond with everything unless you know the key and the only person who knows the key is the person who made the code. But it sounds very reasonable to assume that it's correct.

From an individual point of view, wouldn't you rather be a person who has a problem for one year instead of for three years? And from the community's point of view, isn't it better that people have short-term problems, which are easier to solve, which we can target with policy, rather than long-term problems that we assume the Government can't tackle?

I feel somewhat cut off from my generation. I assume part of the responsibility for that. If I meet someone my age who isn't a vet, we don't have a common denominator.

I am aware that the money we have given to Emergency is nothing compared to the millions spent on players, and I feel embarrassed. I understand that these figures are worrisome. They worry me also. But when you are the head of a business like Inter, you assume the responsibility of offering a quality product. These figures that circulate are normal in the industrial world, but they are not so well known, while in football everything is public.

Given the tendency of many to picture God's realm as somewhere high above Earth - an idea that sounds suspiciously like the Greek stories of deities perched on inaccessible mountain tops - it may seem plausible to assume that astronomers have special insight. Well, of course they don't.

If a parent calls a child in sick, then we assume that that child is home sick, so we aren't able to tell by our attendance numbers if the students are sick, if they're at the doctor's appointment, if they're at the march.

I don't think it's a real bad sprain, but it's very sore, so he's not going to play tonight. I assume it will be a day-to-day situation.

I don't understand how people can rush to a solution before they finish the investigation, ... There's an awful lot of evidence that hasn't been gathered yet. People need to allow the process to go forward in an orderly manner and not assume that they know what the final outcome will be either way.

I don't think you ought to assume that for the long term you're going to be able to pay the same amount as the ... more casual user and be fair to all our customers.

I don't think we should assume that's going to happen at all.

If a company has a firewall or its Internet connection is separated from the network, it may assume it doesn't have to worry, In terms of threats to an enterprise's security, most losses occur inside the company. The model where we put a moat outside to keep the bad guys out is not very useful.

If a country chooses not to ratify Cafta and open its markets to U.S. goods and services, it should not automatically assume that Congress would continue to provide it preferential one-way access into the U.S. market.

If it's someone's pet and you're keeping it at home, there's just too much room for error there. Hopefully, Lady will not get rabies, but we have to assume the raccoon was rabid.

Be a little pessimistic now, and assume it can happen to you. Develop a disaster plan for your home or business now so you can rest a little more easily in the future.

Today, 12 months later, Canadians must assume it was nothing but words in the air,

Having been laying still for so many hours and being poorly hydrated for that period of time has resulted in some kidney dysfunction. We assume that will be a temporary phenomenon while the kidneys recover.

Here, at least, there are real people. We assume they are real Wal-Mart shoppers. They are good-looking, but not so fashionista that you can't aspire to it.

What we want to do in Virginia is in the initial facility find places where people could be staying for weeks. We want to then look at working with these communities where people can stay for months. Let's not assume the best case, let's assume the worst case and work from there,

He wants someone who can assume the responsibilities of the presidency, if called upon. He wants someone who will be a trusted partner, who will work with him closely. He is looking for someone who will share his philosophy, someone who will fight for the people against the powerful, against big oil, against the prescription drug companies, against the anti-choice forces in this country.

He wants to play, that's genuine. His record speaks for itself. I don't know if there has been a player in the modern game in Australia who has played as much as him -- I would assume that his record in terms of playing and being available is better than anybody.

He was friendly, courteous and unassuming. His course etiquette was wonderful, and I enjoyed playing with him often over the next two years before he went off to UK. He was also funny as hell, a trait I assume he also got from his dad, Maurice." ()

He cannot erase that, whether he's innocent or not -- and I assume he is, ... Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer.

If someone doesn't spell 'you' out in an e-mail, ... I assume the writer is in middle school. E-mail is today's form of a postal letter.

If the Fed pauses late in the year, as we now assume in December, its response will be related to economic fundamentals, with GDP slowing late in the year rather than a direct 'emergency' response to events on the Gulf Coast.

If the council determines not to approve the funding, we assume that will be consistent with a decision not to complete the investigation.

If the court finds a patent infringement, I assume there will be a royalty agreement, because that's what usually happens in these cases. A settlement is more likely than a shutdown. But, that said, both sides are really digging in their heels.

He is a proven leader, and we think he is an excellent choice to assume this important new role at Fred's,

He has watched some pretty good people run them, so I would assume he's going to do it the way he knows best. The one thing I would say is, no matter what, do it the way you know how to do it. Don't try to be somebody you're not. Be yourself. You've got to be comfortable doing what you have to do.

History has shown that the Legislature has never done that. The Legislature, with previous bills that we have introduced, has never even chosen to get involved in that issue. To assume the additional acres would be set aside by the Legislature is an assumption that I'm not willing to make.

Going to any place that you view as more politically oppressed than your own country, there's a weird tendency to assume that the whole existence is determined minute by minute by the political reality, but of course, that's not the case for any of us.

Going forward, we assume Algoma will continue to be opportunistic in making additional share buybacks and special distributions.

When he didn't want to do the 6 a.m. run that was a good indicator he didn't want to play basketball for Duquesne. I assume he is going to ask for a transfer. I only want guys who want to be in the trenches with Duquesne. I don't want guys who don't want to be at Duquesne.

He's asking a lot of questions, picking everybody's brain, trying to get a feel for everyone, ...

There is extensive movement in Iraq's air defense system. We assume that this movement is for two reasons. Part of it is defensive, so that it is harder for us to target ... air defense missiles, particularly SA-6 missiles, but also SA-2 missiles and ROLAND missiles, and we also think that some of it is offensive.

My point is not only about teaching and having the ability to learn but also the ability to retain so you don't have to tell them the same thing over and over again, ... It's like a teacher.

You can assume they should know, but there's no guarantee.'

My own belief is that many people don't believe that there can be gold and platinum in this environment. So they just assume that anyone who says it is there is telling a lie,

Playing with pain is part of the game. But I felt that I had risked my career by playing injured last year, and probably shortened it. And I wasn't willing to do it again unless the team was going to assume some of the risk.

Price is always pivotal. If a house is under priced, people sometimes assume that there is something wrong with it.

President Bush has made some statements suggesting the US would accept whatever democratic outcome comes. Should the US be willing to do that, it suggests a major change in their position. But I think it is a little premature to assume that any real decision has been made. I think what they -- in the US administration -- are hoping for is a more gradual reform process in the Arab world, a more gradual expansion of political participation which Islamist groups do not use as an opportunity to come to power. So while I think there has been a shift in the US Middle East policy we will all have to wait to see how great that shift has been.

Our legal team has concluded the ballot was unlawful, ... I assume that this is an issue that will end up in dispute.

People look at me, they know I've appeared in costume dramas and they automatically assume I must be a Tory, I must be a certain type of person. Not a lot of people would think that I spent most of my early years totally rebelling against anything I could, getting suspended from school, going on demonstrations. I was a pretty difficult teenager.

People look at two oil men in the White House, and gasoline prices through the roof, and they likely assume that the president and the vice president are on the side of oil companies, not on the side of ordinary people.

I see it in a highly positive way, but you have to do something. You can't just assume that you're going to benefit from it. You have to pursue opportunities and take advantage of the attraction.

I think when people see photos of you out and about in your personal life, they assume that you've asked for it or that you want that attention, but I don't think anyone in their right mind asks for that kind of thing.

I think we should know about candidates' desires and views, but I think it would be a mistake to assume that they will become reality.

I think sometimes we look over it because we want so much more. You assume you're going to do it so you tend to downplay it.

Jerry is an extraordinary leader who has the experience and talent to help propel this division forward. He is known among his peers and team as a thoughtful and analytical leader who brings a strong base of diverse banking experience to the role. I am confident that Jerry will continue to manage this division efficiently and partner effectively with other Wachovia leaders to support our customer service and business growth goals. We are incredibly fortunate to have an individual with Jerry's talents assume this position for Wachovia.

Japanese and Americans approach research and development in different ways - the Japanese use it to create a new product of higher quality while Americans put innovation first and assume quality will follow. Have them work together and the result is superior, the process dynamic.

Jason will take the reps in practice as if he were going to start. He plans to start, and we assume he will start. He played well enough for us to win last week, and it would be nice to get him a win.

Our great cultural error is to assume that 'truth' arrives only through reductive theories.

People are always going to assume I got my roles because of my father. There's not much I can do about that. He and I talk about the business sometimes, but he's my dad.

My wife and I both have a little bit of guilt. Quite a few of my friends assume we're going to Italy, so it's a continual thing to explain we're not.

Whether we're here or there, we're 100 percent behind her.

Join the company of lions rather than assume the lead among foxes.

Most religions assume that you find purpose through some agent that sits above or outside the world and imbues it with purpose.

I'm honored and excited to assume this new leadership role at AMD. During my time at AMD, we've overcome many hurdles to become a driving force in the microprocessor industry. Still, more challenges and opportunities are ahead of us, and I plan to help AMD capitalize on those opportunities to change the competitive dynamics of the microprocessor industry and continue our sustained growth. My new position also gives Hector more bandwidth to focus on leading the company as CEO.

I suppose Steven Bradbury is the only one left standing. You would have to assume he'll get it.

I think when we do the budget, we make a number of assumptions, and that's one of them. We assume that there will be an economic package put into place.
