Assume Quotations | Page 5

We would assume any revising of the terms would involve the disposal of the PC business in some fashion which could be construed as positive for Dell although there could also be a change in the pricing terms, although we don't think that the latter would solve the objections of the family,

We should point out that significant legal hurdles face the plaintiffs before they could prevail in these cases. Many of the agreements between the managed care companies and the physicians require arbitration and this could defuse the class actions ... However, we believe current HMO valuations assume these lawsuits will be dismissed out of hand. This is unlikely.

Too often, the vast middle is overlooked. Not every child is a math whiz kid and we shouldn't assume so.

When he dropped his hands to his waistband, the officers are trained to assume he's going for a weapon. That's what the punches were about. Officers who don't assume a suspect is going for a gun end up dead.

Words once printed assume a life of their own.

Workers in larger companies don't worry about being educated, they just assume that IT handles everything. Big company employees just don't see security as their responsibility.

Wouldn't it help Americans more, in the long run, if we were forced to accept some responsibility for the environmental wreckage we prefer to assume is totally out of our control?

We altered the rotations of units during the January election. And I think it's perfectly plausible to assume we'll do the same thing for this election,

We always felt we had a case geographically and politically, but what we couldn't do is assume it was going to happen.

Whether they are computer technology consultants, network engineers or intelligent analysts, contractors play a vital role in securing our nation. Therefore, it's imperative that we improve this process because, in today's job market, it's unrealistic to assume that the best and brightest applicants are going to wait more than one year to receive a government clearance so they can then begin their jobs.

We believe that he should now hand power over to the parties and assume a ceremonial role in his country's governance.

Until we get a handle on identity theft, people need to not just assume that their credit is fine, because the sky is the limit on how much damage can be done to your credit. Plus, there's always room for errors on the reports that need to be disputed and fixed.

Until we have determined that there is no connection, I will proceed and assume they are not related. I want to be focused on saving the lives of the 21 hostages.

We're going to see some head of household statuses lost this year. You just can't assume that what you claimed last year -- that dependent -- you're going to be able to claim it this year.

What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

What he's coming through very clearly and saying is we will probably pause soon but don't assume we're done because we pause. ... But I think the market is just reacting to 'Hey, hey, Ben said we might be done soon'. Whenever you take a little uncertainty out of the picture, well, the market is going to like that.

Very few supercomputers on Earth have that sort of power. What sort of problems could you apply that threat to? We deal in DoS attacks from thousands of PCs - but millions? Most risk models today assume a finite capability for the adversary, but this completely changes that.

Unless coach Marshall just decides to start calling things that he's always wanted to call, I would suspect that that they would be very similar to what they've been. I just doubt that a team would invest that much time in preparation, and then throw it out and try to get some new things in one week's time. The logical thing would be to assume that they're going to proceed as if Ray were there.

Unless the audience sits through the credits, they're going to assume it's Wyoming. This has a great impact on us.

We're feeling shock and dismay. For her to capitulate like this -- that's not the Pam Goldsmith-Jones that I knew. I can only assume that she's under unbelievable pressure from a far too powerful provincial government.

We're getting a full gamut of health needs. Every thing from rashes, I would assume from being in dirty water, whole families with rashes, cuts, bruises, broken bones.

When you take on something like your footprint on the environment, you have to say, 'Where am I going to draw the circle around my level of responsibility and then where do I assume that others will take responsibility?'

We applaud films that present the bond between dogs and their people. The downside is that people become so enamored by the character portrayed on screen that they want that dog in their home. They assume the breed is great without examining if it is the right match for their lifestyles.

The point is to keep your distance. Rabies virus is serious. If a raccoon bites and runs off, we have to assume it is wild and the individual is placed in a treatment that may not have been necessary.

We're in a situation now where we've got to take care of business with Howard and Frank Phillips. I would assume we need to probably win six games to really clinch it.

Because I first made my name as a rapper claiming South Central L.A., people often assume I'm strictly a West Coast cat. But my family was actually from back East. I was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in Summit, an upscale town in north Jersey.

Bishops have tried to hide this for years, so there is no reason to believe all of a sudden they would change their ways. The only prudent thing to do is to assume this is not the entire truth. This is a survey, not a report or investigation.

As I assume my responsibilities as your representative, I wish to assure you of my loyalty and devotions, as well of my determination to serve you and the people of Canada to the utmost of my abilities.

Did she know what she was signing at 106 years old? I don't know. She was definitely killed at the hands of another, so we have to assume it was a murder.

Dont judge me, for i am too complex that you would assume insanity, but in reality i am all what you can never be. A mere mortal you are, for you fear everything and do nothing, whilst i admit fear yet i never let it slow me down.

Costs fluctuate every day, almost every hour. You would have to assume that every other relevant factor . . . would remain the same to know how much prices would fall.

Dirk will bring the same performance as he did against Turkey (33 points and 10 rebounds). I assume that. But others will have to step up for us to win.

Current nitrogen recommendations assume four things: yield potential doesn't vary year after year, the yield level the soil will support without supplemental nitrogen is negligible, pre-plant nitrogen will be available throughout the growing season, and soil uniformity produces similar yield results across the field. Growers know that none of these assumptions are entirely accurate, and they can potentially be avoided using optical sensors.

You just assume or hope or trust that you're good enough at what you do that'll you continue to work and that there will be another job.

You just assume that you have some anan, ana, ananonimity, anonymity? Yeah, anonimity.

We try to stay out of the business of making predictions, but it seems reasonable to assume that the virus will continue to spread to adjacent areas,

Every state was decisive in 2000, so let's not just focus on Florida. Let's not assume that Florida is the end of the rainbow.

Everybody knows soccer is going to continue to grow. I assume eventually we're talking lights, bleachers, concession stands, aren't we? ... I can see in the future we might have to build a road from the theater ... just to handle things.

At the very least, it drums on the point that they'll continue to raise interest rates. By deductive reasoning, you'd assume that they don't have a big problem with the strength of the currency.

The times for the games haven't been set yet. But, I assume we will be playing in the 7 p.m. game.

I've never gotten to do romantic comedy like most of the girls. Maybe because I'm fit, people assume that I'm not funny?

It would be inappropriate for me to assume they still have weapons of mass destruction, but at the same time, it would be naive to exclude that possibility,

They are all kind of the same letter, all handwritten or typed. They all assume that the play is about Paul's being homosexual and misogynist; they assume it's going to be a prurient hatchet job.

The worst thing we can do now is assume we know who we're running against in the general election.

The governor's always been playing a complicated game because, although I assume he checked off on the deal, he then denounced his own deal almost immediately.

You assume it's a scare but you can never tell. The market will always be nervous to events like this.

You assume we're going overtime. I wasn't down. I was getting ready to go. When I saw (the kick) go wide right, it was incredible.

As the game gets more serious or more important, the effect gets stronger in a linear fashion. We didn't see any spikes after the games in visits. What we assume is that people decided to wait.

Assume employees are going across a lot of networks. So you have to build in security from the home to any number of networks.

Assume everything you put on the Internet can and will be seen not only by the person you're talking about, but your future romantic partners and bosses, too.

Assume that 48 percent of consumers were afraid to go to the mall because they could potentially be hijacked. What would Congress do then?

Assume that all estimates are self-interested and all estimates are too low, ... The government is like a contractor ù whatever it says, triple.

Assume that a time machine is beaming you back to Monday morning. You start the week with the impression of an unexpectedly strong 274k US payroll report in mind. In addition, a clairvoyant tells you that: 1) US retail sales surged by 1.4% m-o-m in April, 2) German growth advanced by 4% q-o-q annualized in Q1 2005, 3) speculation about a revaluation of the Renminbi will intensify, 4) the oil price will fall by about USD 3.50 per barrel this week, 5) and the US Treasury will sell USD 51 bn in Treasury Notes. You make up your mind and conclude that in this environment yields need to go up. At least 99 out of 100 market participants with the same information would have shared your view. But reality is different. Yields are down and down and down again. These are Schwarzenegger markets, no one can beat them.

Is it unreasonable to still assume she removed her clothing? It started out as a consensual situation and ended with him taking it one step further than he should have.

The state of things in India begins to assume somewhat of an alarming aspect. Englishmen taking up arms against Englishmen! Regiments arc called from Bengal, Bombay, and the Cape, to reduce the rebel army. Whereunto will this grow?

When you do it every day, when you go out and throw to a lot of catchers, you don't even think about it. You just assume that a catcher will set up inside or outside, whatever. (This) opens up communications. You can tell them how you want them to set up. It's common sense, but you don't think about.

When you have those questions ... or last year when they asked, 'Did it surprise you that your team did so well?' No, it didn't surprise me. We kind of reload every year -- and we try not to assume anything.

When we implement the law, we assume Congress knows what they're doing.

We welcome the European Union's intention to assume the lion's share of the financial burden and, given the U.S. role in the military campaign, this is an appropriate division of labor,

We always prepare for the worst. You can't assume somebody's going to be there, then all of a sudden he's not. You plan for this and for that. We'll prepare for the worst-case scenario and if it doesn't go that way, then we've gained a player or two.

There are initiatives in place to deter counterfeiters and those who sell fraudulent or phony products to prevent or treat avian flu. The use of unproven flu cures and treatments increases the risk of catching and spreading the flu rather than lessening it because people assume they are protected and safe and they aren't. I consider it a public health hazard when people are lured into using bogus treatments based on deceptive or fraudulent medical claims.

The rules of the House require that his written testimony be in our possession 48 hours before he appears, ... It's one o'clock now -- a little after -- and we are still waiting. He is not following those rules. And I can only assume it is to try to pull some kind of gotcha-surprise.

The women's centers, in particular, should help improve the well-being of Somali women along the coast, and should serve as a catalyst for women to assume greater responsibility in their social, political and economic lives.

The world has changed dramatically in the last five years, so much so that we can't just assume it's going to rebound,

It would be easy to assume that the open letter is a symptom of the Internet age. Such is not the case. In 1774, Benjamin Franklin wrote an open letter to the prime minister of Great Britain, Lord North - a satirical call for the imposition of martial law in the colonies.

It would be naive for a buyer to assume that's because it's a long way away that these vehicles haven't made it to our state. Likely there are less here than in areas close to New Orleans. But if you were a scam artist, why not go as far away as you can where they're not thinking about it.

It would be naive for our clients ... to assume that their calls and e-mails are not being intercepted.

It would be a grave mistake for the Republicans to assume they can replay the boll weevil strategy of the early 1980s, ... George W. Bush is not Ronald Reagan. He would not come in with a strong tail wind of public support behind him, and he would not have a working majority in Congress.

It would be a mistake on my part to assume this is a major or a bad injury. If it ends up with him missing a long period of time, then that's what's going to happen. But we hope that he doesn't.

It would be a mistake to assume that this is a major injury. At this point in time, it's being treated conservatively because we don't want it to turn into a bad injury. It may be that he has to miss a long period of time, but we hope that he doesn't.

The safer bet is to assume the Australian dollar will decline and begin to trend lower. Because 75.80 cents has held so well for the last few months, people are paying attention to this key technical level.

It was unbelievable. That's not how Kansas City fans are. They're pretty hardcore. It was amazing the reception we got. It was neat to see the people honor New York. I think it will probably be a lot like that here. I hope so. I would assume that our fans will do the same thing.

You have to assume that in any hazelnut orchard in Oregon, it's there. It's the No. 1 concern in the industry in terms of pest management.

You have to assume the partners are going to sell. It's to be expected when the restrictions are lifted.

You have to assume there will be more deals. That certainly would be a positive for credit quality in the equipment space.

You go into a store to buy something and you assume it's legal or the store wouldn't be selling it. This would put the obligation on the business that sells or rents these types of devices to tell the customer of the restrictions.

We tend to assume that data is either private or public, either owned by one person or shared by many. In fact there's more to it than that, above and beyond the upsetting reality that private data is now anything but.

What an immense mass of evil must result...from allowing men to assume the right of anticipating what may happen.

What happens if a big asteroid hits Earth? Judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, we can assume it will be pretty bad.

You don't have your own phone for anyone to call you back. People see your address is a homeless shelter and they assume you're a drug addict or something, and they won't call you back anyway.

We feel that a $1 billion capital margin is appropriate to maintain for the company. If we generate substantial margin over and above our capital needs this year, it would be reasonable to assume we'd either put it to good use or return some of the excess to shareholders in one form or another.

We think of the typical eighth grader as young and immature. Sixty days later they're high school freshmen. Is it reasonable to assume they've suddenly gained all the maturity and experience to function competently at a comprehensive high school?

We already assume we have competitive products. But then there's our top line revenue, margin expenses, cost structure, and if we manage those right, we will yield greater (profit) margins.

We all assume certain risks in whatever we do, whatever activities we pursue, and regardless of how experienced, careful and dedicated we are. Accidents do and will happen, and that's what happened.

We all assume certain risks in what we do, in what activities we pursue. Accidents do and will happen.

We all assume Sony would do a price cut in the later half of the year.

We all assume that if you're weak and poor, you're never going to win. In fact, the real world is full of examples where the exact opposite happens, where the weak win and the strong screw up.

The opportunity for AMD with Dell was a year ago. Last year Intel was a disaster. This year it's not the case, and you can't assume that Intel is going to continue to screw up.

There is always a chance. Don't assume your data is gone.

There is no reason to expect that G.M.'s pension plans will be terminated, and to assume otherwise is to unnecessarily alarm the many thousands of people who rely upon those plans for their retirement.

Umpires typically turn their back on the rule. Unfortunately, we can't assume every umpire is going to be old school and turn their back on it.

Books about spies and traitors - and the congressional hearings that follow the exposure of traitors - generally assume that false-negative errors are much worse than false-positive errors.

Even if you assume that they were right about the revenues that baseball would be expected to generate, and I don't think that they are, it's pretty much exactly the same amount. And the developers of this project didn't get any public funds. And that's going to be a bigger benefit for the city.

Everything in our business is competitive. I assume the hiring on our head coaching will be competitive.

People assume I can't hit for average. I've hit for average all my life, until I got up here. It's not because I can't. It's because people have tried to get me to hit more homers. I'll hit even more home runs when I'm hitting the way I can.

People assume it's being tough on crime, but what you're doing is throwing these kids away. Studies show that kids who are put into the adult system re-offend quicker and more seriously.

People assume that because I'm a great athlete, I can dance. But no. My rhythm is off a little bit.

People assume that because the flow of information is faster, the results will be faster.

People assume that because you have graced the same stage as the star act, in front of thousands, you must be reaping similar financial rewards. This is a complete fallacy.

People assume that if you don't have any symptoms, you're OK, ... What we're saying is that's not necessarily the case.
