Cannot Quotations | Page 10

One of the joys of working with boys is that you get your pay as you go along. You can observe the results of your leadership daily... Such satisfaction cannot be purchased at any price; it must be earned.

On Sept. 10 there was pain and suffering of a world manifested by power. There is nothing special about Sept. 11; there is nothing special about our pain in this country. It mattered no more or no less than the pain and suffering of the rest of the world that day. We cannot contribute to the lives lost by innocent civilians because of a corruption of power.

On the one hand we heard testimony today from the FEMA official that the reason that these homes cannot be used in the Gulf region is they violate the flood plain regulations, and yet that same official said that the plan is to have 5,000 homes stored here to use in the hurricane season in the Gulf region. That seems inconsistent to me.

On the basis of public statements and my consultations with my colleagues, I cannot see 18 senators voting to propose amendments to the Constitution through a constituent assembly,

On paper, we should be great. But the girls cannot get the concept of playing team basketball. I see some signs of it, but there hasn't been enough of it.

Nay, said she, "the saints in Heaven cannot help me now until they take me to my rest. There is no place for me in the world beyond, and all my friends were slain on the day I was taken. Leave me, brave men, and let me care for myself. Already it lightens in the east, and black will be your fate if you are taken. Go, and may the blessing of one who was once a holy nun go with you and guard you from danger.

Nearly 1,000 dead -- I cannot remember a time when so many were killed in such a short space of time.

I wish I could never spend another second talking about cancer and all it does to everyone it surrounds, but unfortunately, that cannot be because of my life.

I was so anxious. Words cannot even express it.

I grew up listening to Switchfoot. I love Switchfoot; they're a great band. John Foreman is awesome. I really dig mainstream pop music, but I also have a heart for jazz and rock. Oh! Coldplay! I cannot miss Coldplay! I think 'Fix You' is one of the most brilliantly written songs ever. It's, like, my favorite song of all time.

I guess I strongly feel that we cannot pretend that the Third World is not part of our world. We cannot say 'OK, there's that problem over there, let's just close our eyes' - we cannot do that.

New computer technology to prevent auto theft is being added to more and more new vehicle keys each year. However, motorists who lose these new high-tech car keys often face delays, inconvenience and significantly more expense in replacing keys, because locksmiths and other car repair facilities cannot obtain the information they need from car manufacturers in order to reproduce electronic keys.

Nobody, I think, ought to read poetry, or look at pictures or statues, which cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet and artist has actually expressed

Nigerians have spoken their anger, hunger, hardship and frustration and if the government fails to listen, the responsibility and consequences of what follows lie squarely at its doorstep because we cannot guarantee peace and security in this kind of environment.

(Nick) does create negatives to go with his positives, ... because he's got positives. But he cannot be turning it over every other time down the floor. And as good as he is at penetrating, he's not as good a perimeter shooter, so he's got to pick his spots better.

When I am . . . traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep; it is on such occasions that ideas flow best and most abundantly.

When I am travelling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep; it is on such occasions that ideas flow best and most abundantly.

When I consider how little of a rarity children are / that every street and blind alley swarms with them / that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance / that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains / how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. / I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.

We cannot abandon them, and this legislation finds a fiscally responsible way of extending this successful law.

We cannot abandon these institutions, and we cannot abandon the city of New Orleans.

We cannot accept any peace that does not allow refugees to return and return safely,

We cannot accept anything less than the least that we have accepted in the American compromise, ... And I think that has to be made very clear to the Israelis.

We cannot accept a situation where the biggest, most efficient supplier is excluded from selling directly to us.

We cannot accept it when disappointment degenerates into violence.

We cannot accept the prejudices that some international organizations and some individuals hold against China and their practices over these issues,

We cannot accept these statements, and we will not sign any contracts with Mr. Robertson.

We cannot accept what we see on our television every day of the bombing of innocent civilians. There are hundreds now every day.

We cannot achieve all of this without finances, prayer and action.

We cannot achieve a top-tier economy without a top-tier transportation system, ... To make sure that no Hoosier community is left behind, we must make major moves and bring into being a system of roads, bridges, rail lines, ports and airports second to none.

My eyes are open & my heart beats but I cannot be awake for this is surely a nightmare

My family doesn't like the distance. They can't visit me, and I cannot immediately visit them. They also fear I will marry or become a spoiled American, like in the movies.

Make no mistake: the anti-war voices long for us to lose any war they cannot prevent.

Let us be clear, the proposal before the General Assembly is the fruit of compromise. It cannot be a perfect solution.

Let no one say that he is a follower of Gandhi. It is enough that I should be my own follower. I know what an inadequate follower I am of myself, for I cannot live up to the convictions I stand for. You are no followers but fellow students, fellow pilgrims, fellow seekers, fellow workers.

Let's all understand that these guiding principles cannot be discarded for short-term political gains. They represent what this country is all about. They are indigenous to the American idea. And these are principles which are not negotiable.

Life without goodness, good thoughts, good actions and good words is like the sky in the night without the moon or stars. It is like a wheel without a hub or spokes! No one can push a boulder away while standing on it; you cannot be free from anxiety while all the entrances through which it sneaks in are open.

Man is an individual animal with narrow faculties, but infinite desires, which he is anxious to concentrate in some one object within the grasp of his imagination, and where, if he cannot be all that he wishes himself, he may at least contemplate his own pride, vanity, and passions, displayed in their most extravagant dimensions in a being no bigger and no better than himself.

Some might call this a novel approach for me, but I cannot sit back in good conscience while those in our society struggling to heat their homes are being left in the cold by oil companies,

Some 300,000 vaccines arrived today but it is of no use as we cannot administer them to those already infected.

Some categories of classified information are protected by statute and not only by executive order. Intelligence sources and methods are protected by the National Security Act and cannot be declassified even by the say-so of the president.

Some day, in years to come, you will be wrestling with the great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your life. But the real struggle is here, now, in these quiet weeks. Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process.

Some day, it might be possible to prevent (ADHD), but that requires genetic research, which now is in its infancy. Now, we can prevent the worsening of conditions with effective intervention, but we cannot prevent the condition.

One of my concerns is that writers will begin to feel the censor on their backs, and we won't get their very best. Instead their fear, or the fear imposed by the publisher, will limit them. When I lock myself up to write, I cannot allow myself to think about the censor, or the reviewer, or anyone but my characters and their story.

Oh, what a happy child I am, although I cannot see! I am resolved that in this world, contented I will be!

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that we must get from our diets because our bodies cannot make them; they are crucial for early brain development, and there is much evidence that they promote cardiovascular health and cognitive function.

O my beloved camel-like mind, search for the Lord within your own heart. He cannot be found by any device; the Guru will show you the Lord within your heart.

On a day of burial there is no perspective -- for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was -- to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.

Of all hands in the world, it was not the hand that I wanted or dreamed of touching, ... We, the soldiers who have returned from battle stained with blood, we who have seen our relatives and friends killed before our eyes, we who have attended their funerals and cannot look into the eyes of their parents, we who have come from a land where parents bury their children, we who have fought against you, the Palestinians - we say to you today in a loud and clear voice: Enough of blood and tears. Enough. ...The time for peace has come.

Of course, some opposition members who failed in the elections, or some who did not take part in the elections must have something to say. They cannot admit the facts and the realities, but these are the facts and the realities.

Of course these records should be accessed by police to solve serious criminal cases, but this power cannot be used indiscriminately.

Obviously, we cannot do it like we have been doing it. We have to get better as players and coaches and I have a lot of trust in both the players and the coaches. We will work very hard and make sure we get it together and do a better job.

One part is absorbed in the blood to compensate for the losses that are constantly taking place through respiration and perspiration, and all the material that Nature cannot use is rejected in the form of excrement.

One of the unfortunate lessons from Katrina is that states cannot always count on the federal government for prompt disaster response and assistance,

One of the very, very exciting things I have found here in L.A. is that no one talks to you about being Scottish. Whereas, if you are in London and you are trying to put films together and be a film-maker, there is a kind of unspoken sense that, if you are Scottish, you have something to overcome or else you cannot really do that project.

One-third of all female infertility is the result of blocked fallopian tubes. If fertilization could be done in the lab and then the fertilized egg implanted in the womb, it would get around that problem. Millions of women who cannot have children would suddenly be able to.

One without health cannot achieve any small thing.

No one can just file a charge and go directly to a jury trial. That just cannot happen.

No one can predict what might, or might not, happen once the clock ticks past midnight this New Year's Eve. The only certainty is that this January 1 deadline cannot be extended.

No one else can bring this overwhelming advantage, ... We can see and know where the enemy is and they cannot see and know where we are. They are fighting blind.

One example is Roe v. Wade. The lethal logic of Roe v. Wade is that nobody has rights that we are bound to respect if they cannot effectively assert those rights. They are at the mercy and the discretion of those who can effectively assert their rights. We're not talking simply about the unborn, we're talking about the aged, the radically handicapped, the deformed.

One bad thing cannot be resolved with another bad thing.

One can give without loving, but one cannot love without giving

One learns more from listening than speaking.And both the wind and the people who continue to live close to nature still have much to tell us which we cannot hear within university walls.

One may be continually abusive without saying any thing just; but one cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty

My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine.

My goal is to reduce that difference to one-half the current levels, but I cannot say what the time frame for that would be,

Moscow cannot but regret this decision given that the tribunal paid no attention to the Russian Federation's guarantees.

Most advisers don't realize non-spouse beneficiaries cannot do a rollover,

Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond-studded wheelchair.

Moral disapproval of a group cannot be a legitimate state interest.

More is currently at stake in terms of lives saved or lost in Africa than on any other continent. As humanitarian workers, we cannot accept that so many lives are lost every year on this continent to preventable diseases, neglect and senseless brutality.

Moreover, one cannot escape the thought that the risks taken by Londoners have increased as a result of the policies pursued in Iraq by the disappearing Tony Blair.

No one should make the mistake of thinking that a shorter extension will make it possible to jam the unacceptable conference report through the Congress. That bill is dead and cannot be revived.

None of us wanted to try this case in the media. The information coming out from start was not from the defense, and I think it cannot be helpful to the community to have bits and pieces put out to display when we don't have the whole picture.

No one is saying they are guilty, but they cannot be sitting in public offices when these offices are being investigated.

Of course, I cannot pretend this is just accidental. The winner of the previous Tour was shown, but he wasn't highlighted, either.

Of course, I consider that I cannot defend my interests in the appeal without a lawyer familiar with this case.

Of course I do care about the way my music is performed and so I cannot really say that I am not interested in how it is received.

My delegation cannot refrain from speaking on this question-we who have such an intimate knowledge of boxcars and of deportations to unknown destinations that we cannot be silent.

My entire family is in Mississippi. My dad has managed to call me twice, just long enough to tell me that they have lost everything - absolutely everything. One of my brothers called me and said, 'We are barely surviving - can you help?' I had been watching the destruction on television in disbelief, and that phone call was enough for me. I cannot sit idly by while these people, especially my loved ones, have nothing. I felt guilty that night taking a shower...these people don't even have a place to rest their head.

My concern is a single concern - can we keep a safety net under patients so they don't end up in a health crisis just because they cannot get medicine or care? I don't think the system is meeting the needs of the uninsured right now. It's overwhelmed.

My contract with my teachers is fair, and is two pages. The union contract is 200 pages. You cannot manage your business when you cannot make any decision without going back to 200 pages worth of stuff.

Maybe it's possible in Africa to hold back election results for a couple of weeks, but you cannot do that in Germany.

Maybe they have come to the conclusion that they cannot proceed and they want to reinforce the central front.

Possibly the most important phase to recovery is getting the life back to normal again, ... And what we're talking about here in Corvallis is assisting people who want to get their lives back to normal, and who cannot go back to the life that is in the Gulf Coast because of Katrina.

Potentially, we can go very far. But we can't look too far ahead because in our section, anybody can beat anybody and if you want to make the playoffs, you cannot overlook anybody.

Politicians cannot shake off responsibility and then when something is successful they take the merit but when something goes wrong they blame the workers.

Politicians cannot show up on the doorstep to Downing Street and say 'I have millions of votes under my arm so now you must arrange a referendum'

Police cannot do it alone, politicians can't do it alone. But if we're all collectively working we can get the job done.

Performance Art is brief, about 15 minutes long. This is a problem in that you cannot get people to come out to watch a 15-minute performance.

Peru needs reconciliation, but it can't be done like this. Peru cannot be kidnapped by the military commanders and you cannot permit negotiations with a gun to your head.

Nothing could be worse than this torment, and I cannot rid myself of it. I have been here all summer in a place where everyone else's children seem to be in the military.

No -- I could get some advice from him this year ... Advice isn't going to help. You cannot pick when things go right and things go wrong. You have to look at the law of averages where they were winning games early in the year, too. It's hard to continue to win in that many different ways and that many close games. I'm confident they'll get it together and pull it together.

Nothing is clear yet ... the man cannot remain in these conditions ... his health is deteriorating.

No character before its time. The scripts will dictate which is first, ... I cannot wait to tell Captain America's story. It's a doozy of a story.

Neither DATA nor Bono are involved in these (fundraisers), and they cannot be controlled. The U2 concerts are categorically not fundraisers for any politician; they are rock concerts for U2 fans.

Necessary truth is merely the subject-matter of mathematics, not the reward we get for doing mathematics. The object of mathematics is not, and cannot be, mathematical certainty. It is not even mathematical truth, certain or otherwise. It is, and must be, mathematical explanation.

Neglected by Congress below, distressed with the small-pox; want of Generals and discipline in our Army, which may rather be called a great rabble, our credit and reputation lost, and great part of the country; and a powerful foreign enemy advancing upon us, are so many difficulties we cannot surmount them.

Neighborhoods and communities are complex organisms that will be resilient only if they are healthy along a number of interrelated dimensions, much as a human body cannot be healthy without adequate air, water, rest, and food.

Never anticipate evils; or, because you cannot have things exactly as you wish, make them out worse than they are, through mere spite and willfulness.
