Cannot Quotations | Page 18

-it doesn't matter how good you are, you cannot give up a steal of seven points in two ends and expect to win the game.

Just to come to the negotiating table I cannot say that my state does not exist. I demand the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is either recognized or taken into account.

Keeping those two segments of the country from fragmenting is not going to be an easy task. He will have to throw concessions to both sides. He cannot rigidly be on the side of one or the other.

Katherine Harris would have Florida voters believe she's on the verge of being destitute because, she claims, she has put all her inherited $10-million fortune on the line.

It is often said that in our next meeting, we cannot do anything because there are elections,

It is NRL policy that the referee cannot request replays of foul play from the television director.

It is not the errors of others, but our own miscalculations, on which we wreak our lasting vengeance. It is ourselves that we cannot forgive.

It is of extreme concern if our tracking system cannot track firearms. We had better make sure we know how to find them. If they are untraceable in the system it is bad enough, but if they are stolen, it is worse. We must report this to the police immediately.

It is not a process under which senators get to say, 'I want you to rule this way and this way and this way, and if you'll tell me that you'll rule this way and this way and this way, I'll vote for you, ... That's not a bargaining process. Judges are not politicians. They cannot promise to do certain things in exchange for votes.

I think today was probably a fair result. We cannot do anything about Chelsea, all we can do is concentrate on our own results. We have to collect as many points as we can and try to stay as close as possible.

I think, ultimately, open always wins out. It wins out because you cannot lock data in; you can't lock people in. They will find a way out.

It is a clear and moral position that we cannot recognize a party that calls for Israel's destruction.

It is a complete outrage that my client has had to endure such physical and emotional distress following what should have been a straightforward, routine procedure. Not only does she live in constant fear of contracting a deadly disease, but she cannot remove these parts from her back. She will spend the rest of her life knowing that bones stolen from a corpse are in her body.

It is a contract based on incentive, and proving himself in rugby. We cannot comment on the actual numbers, but the $750,000 figure which has been bandied around is just nowhere near the mark. Third-party offers have also not been involved in any of the discussions, and is not part of any offer which has been made.

It is a crucial time to run for office when rights and liberties are being eroded, taxes climb, the education of our children declines and morality erodes while judges tell children they cannot pray,

It is a different kind of war, where you cannot see your enemy and where there is no front line, but nonetheless this is an entirely real threat, ... Russia is not the only country that faces this new threat.

It is a heartbreaking turn for science and Korea. Without trust, we just cannot imagine science. This is utterly unacceptable.

I think it's pathetic that a court of law cannot be in a vacuum of the legal system, without the influence of the public threatening to do great bodily harm to people and property. It's really a pathetic statement for our country.

I think this deal is a bad idea, and I'm not sure it's over yet. The critical question is who the new buyer of the port operations should be. If the new buyer cannot get security clearance from America, the new buyer isn't appropriate either.

I think this is good news for Boeing in terms of what's going on in Asia. Boeing cannot get airplanes out the door fast enough to service the domestic market.

It gives us a four-hour block of real news and information, and you cannot find four hours that will make for a more satisfying meal than that on television.

I think we're probably two to three years away from coming up with a technique where we might be able to put an individual in an MRI scanner and say whether an individual is telling the truth or telling a lie. But I think we have the technology. I cannot say with a 100 percent certainty, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

I think you cannot extrapolate from sulfur, which few things emitted. It was basically power plants. Carbon is just kind of everything -- it's cars, it's industry, it's power plants, it's agriculture.

It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.

It cannot be held tomorrow due to the Rail Budget, or on February 27 because of presentation of Economic Survey and the next day due to the General Budget. President Bush would arrive here on Tuesday.

It cannot be right to jeopardize relations between the EU and United States because you get an answer a few weeks after the time you want it,

It cannot be used for student housing, ... A lot of landlords aren't interested.

It cannot tantamount to holding a public meeting, this cannot be called campaigning.

It can be a challenge working with volunteers. I cannot fire them when they drive me crazy. But on the other hand, they give me and the shop so much! When my parents died within three months of each other, the Gift Shop?s volunteers gave so much of themselves in love and support. They took great care of me. Volunteers are special people.

I think it is just a shame that Northwest has taken advantage of this state so badly and eliminated 90 percent of our jobs, and yet the state cannot acknowledge this and help its own citizens.

It is simply ridiculous to say it cannot be done. If one fence won't do it, then build a second 100 yards behind it. And then build a road for patrols in between. Put cameras. Put sensors. Put out lots of patrols.

It appears the governor has the legal authority to impose a cap only when the legislature isn't in session, so we cannot impose a cap unilaterally at this time.

It can be contained in domestic birds. It can be eliminated in domestic birds, but at the current level of money, it cannot be contained.

It can be horrendous. There's so much that software cannot possibly know.

It cannot be a binding resolution. It would have to be non-binding.

I take the mound with the focus that is we cannot lose. I've had that feeling for a long time. That's the feeling you want to have as a pitcher. Find a way, any way, battle.

I take the view, and always have, that if you cannot say what you are going to say in 20 minutes you ought to go away and write a book about it.

It could be that home builders are trying to work off the supply of permitted properties they have in the pipeline. If you look at leading indicators of the housing market, you really have to say this cannot be sustained.

It is about understanding the problem and not about taking strict action against offenders. We cannot go around issuing fines to people or solving matters through punishment. Sometimes it is the duty of people to understand the problems of others and continue with their celebrations accordingly.

It is a certain sign of a wise government and proceeding that it can hold men's hearts by hopes when it cannot by satisfaction

I think we punished ourselves. I can't remember a game in which we played so well and we're still 2-0 down. The first goal was lack of experience and then they had a break. It is a big disappointment because we had five chances before that. You cannot give away goals against top sides.

I was not convinced with the outcome. One day off helped. I was rejuvenated. We know that from now on we cannot lose.

Today's German angst has much in common with the experience of the American worker in the early 1980s and again the early 1990s. For both cases in the U.S., there was no gain without pain. Germany is certainly going through the pain phase, but the gains cannot be minimized.

We'll respect what Ms. or Mrs. Robinson said. I think that Jackie Robinson was an icon and he opened a lot of doors for African-American players. But having said that, we cannot overlook all the work that Roberto Clemente has done for Puerto Rico and Latin America. I'm 100% behind having No. 21 retired.

We had opportunities to make big plays and we did it in spurts and we just have to continue to minimize the mistakes. One thing about this offense is we cannot afford to make too many mistakes, we are killing ourselves. Anytime that you are 3rd-and-2 and it turns to 3rd-and-7 it changes the whole philosophy of the game, the game plan and game calling.

We had our chances late, but the bottom line is you cannot play well for just eight out of 32 minutes and expect to win.

the president cannot be a nanny for them.

The president cannot suppress 'people power' with a superfluous and illegal edict.

The president cannot use the pursuit of national security as a carte blanche to undermine the very freedoms that define America. This administration - like that of President Nixon - has apparently secretly adopted a legal view of the Executive Branch's power that is unbounded. A commitment to the Constitution and our laws demand an independent investigation.

The president has made a commitment to rebuild and we need to fulfill that commitment, ... We cannot be an absent partner, or one who reneges, especially since the federal government failed miserably in taking action when the hurricane first hit.

The president has stated that he cannot say that out of the hundreds and hundreds of calls he made to supporters that he never asked for financial support. He said that he cannot recall specifically asking for contributions during these calls, though he may well have.

You label somebody 'New Age,' and that's automatic mockery: 'She cannot possibly be a serious thinker.'

To become the best possible writer, one must keep learning and building up networks, which is why the publication and the mentors are so important. Our mentors and alumni especially provide a really good literary network that most writers cannot obtain.

Unfortunately, we cannot agree to their contractual terms over television rights and other issues,

Unfortunately, we cannot watch every offender 24 hours a day. When we receive information, we act on it.

We don't have a problem with the evangelical community. In fact, we regard them as the best friends of Israel. And they are most welcome in Israel and to do business with us. But we cannot sign a contract with Mr. Robertson. We plan to continue talking with the others, but not with him.

Two watermelons cannot be held under one arm

Two weeks, I can't get rid of it. It gets worse and worse and I cannot take anything. I can't sleep from the coughing.

We apologize to those who were harmed and to the Texas City community. We cannot change the past or repair all the damage this incident has done. We can assure that those who were injured and the families of those who died receive financial support and compensation. Our goal is to provide fair compensation without the need for lawsuits or lengthy court proceedings.

We appeal, as human beings to human beings. Remember your humanity and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open for a new paradise; if you cannot there lies before you the risk of universal death.

Those are things that are very hard for us to buy as pantries. We cannot pay a dollar for a can of tuna for one family. That'd be good for one person, but we have a lot of eight- and 10-people families. You think how far one can of tuna would go. Not very far.

Those are things we have to fix. We cannot give up opportunities.

Those first five or six innings, you cannot make mistakes like that on this level and succeed. There's no way. You can't have it.

We know no one is perfect, but what we cannot tolerate, what we will never accept, is a person or company that knows dangers exists and says nothing - literally, silence can kill.

We are doing a good job in England, but we cannot be complacent and need to send a clear message to all clubs and national associations across the game.
