America Quotes
President Bush has nominated John Roberts the man, and America has got to know John Roberts the man, and I'm quite sure the United States Senate is going to confirm John Roberts the man, ... Please don't check any of that at the door when you walk into the United States Supreme Court.

Across Quotes
I think what we're finding across the church is that people are tired of just writing the check for the mission. They really want to do it. We made a commitment to the city to put up 50 roofs over the next couple of months. We hope to perhaps complete 25 this week with the crews that we have.

Beginning Quotes
Jim Hunter (NASCAR vice president) walked in our pits and said we're going to check the tire pressures, ... What I didn't understand in the beginning was if you blow a tire and hit the wall and your pressures were too low, we're going to take points. And I thought, 'well how are you going to check pressures in a right front after the wreck?' So then we were told they were coming through checking them and if your pressures were too low that they could take points.

Basket Quotes
People are generally pretty good at keeping track of things they write a check for but they're a little sloppier with the $5 they put in the collection basket at church or give to the organization on the street. A lot of people also fail to keep track of non-cash donations. They drop things off at Goodwill without making an inventory of what they gave.
-
Clean Quotes
I think they're going to finish every check that they have on me, and that's fine. But I think they took a couple penalties on us, and that's the frustrating part. There's nothing wrong with good clean hockey and good physical hockey. But when it gets like that, I just try to keep my head up and protect myself.
-
Ability Quotes
It is crucial that we recognize the important separation of powers principles that our democracy was founded on, ... There should always be a check on the executive branch's power, the president's power, to take away that most fundamental of liberty interests and that is the government's ability to detain a person, possibly indefinitely.
-
Acting Quotes
Judicial restraint is a buzzword just like activist judge. Everybody's in favor of judicial restraint, but what does it mean? If it means not acting as a check against majoritarian excesses or upholding constitutional rights against improper government action, then restraint is not something admirable.

Balance Quotes
Journalism is the only profession explicitly protected by the U.S. Constitution, because journalists are supposed to be the check and balance on government. We're supposed to be holding those in power accountable. We're not supposed to be their megaphone. That's what the corporate media have become.

Choice Quotes
It is clear that this illegal program violates our Constitution and laws governing surveillance. The president's false choice between securing our nation and preserving our Constitution must be rejected. Congress has an obligation to determine the truth, especially since the administration is unwilling to check itself. Hearings like this help ensure steps are taken so the rule of law is respected by all, even the president.

Avenue Quotes
I think the changes on Washington are positive for the Beat Festival. The streets are safer, the district offers more options for dining before the event, and more residents means more attendance. The Beat Festival has always been an opportunity for people to check out everything Washington Avenue has to offer. Now there's just a lot more to check out.

Appreciate Quotes
I think there's a definite template for what can be done for the future, but I'm not going to call myself a trailblazer. It didn't seem like a big idea to me: Let people know you appreciate their loyalty, and you say thank you. I was just doing what those punk bands did with fliers. Stand on the corner and say 'Come check us out.' Instead of fliers, it was going to be instant messages and e-mails.

Government Quotes
I think Americans are - particularly, independent voters are looking at Washington, and they see too many taxes, too much spending, too much debt, too many Washington takeovers, and they want to provide a check and a balance to what they see as a runaway, overreaching Washington government.

Beginning Quotes
I think he's really beginning to catch a lot of eyes out there. He's just a little raw right now, because he's never had an experienced quarterbacks coach work with him. But you don't get the kind of interest he is if teams aren't liking what they see and what they hear about him. He's obviously impressed the scouts, and the teams are sending coaches to check him out.
-
Announced Quotes
It has been a big distraction. We haven't announced the final penalty for Chad yet. We don't expect somebody to fall into the bad zone, if you will, too many times. So we're going to have to check ourselves from a deterrent standpoint to make sure the guys understand what we're trying to get done.
-
Anybody Quotes
I think everybody just needs to look within themselves and reach deep and elevate and just expect more out of themselves. I don't think anybody is at a place right now within their own self that they can be satisfied. I think everybody needs to just do a gut check and work harder and try to get better every single day.

Half Quotes
I still have my first paycheck. It was just, I think, a dollar or two that I got when I started as a songwriter with BMI, and I had some songs there that I had through the company, and in the mail I got this big old check for, like, a dollar and a half or something. Somebody had recorded one of my songs.

Bad Quotes
I think it's very dangerous for people who do anything that's public to venture on the Web and check out what people are saying about them. Yes, you're bound to find things that will delight you - but you also find things that will make you brood and feel bad about yourself. Why would you intentionally invite that into your life?

Accelerate Quotes
I think we prefer to go to instant check on an immediate basis and try to accelerate implementing instant checks so that you could literally check by thumb print whether there was a convicted felon with dangerous behavior or dangerous mental behavior. Instant check is a much better system than the Brady process.

Age And Aging Quotes
Typically, on-line, there is no way to verify age. You have a credit card being offered or a check card that doesn't have a birth date. You're not looking at the person. There's no way to verify who you're dealing with. The only way to deal with that is at the point of delivery in the case of on-line sales.

Base Quotes
We'll play the game and prepare for it like any other game. It's a little down the road, but I'm sure the kids won't forget what happened. We have to keep our emotions in check and I think our kids can do that. Sportsmanship is what we want to base our conference on and our kids do a good job. They are pretty good character-wise.

Advance Quotes
Those of us who care about the last days of terminally ill people know that we have to focus instead on making advance directives more effective. We need to strengthen advance directive laws, to ensure that health care providers check to see if a patient has a directive before instituting medical interventions. If a patient has directed that no life-sustaining treatment be provided, this wish must be respected.

Against Quotes
We are interested in producing theater in places where people are. One of the things that is really beautiful about Fourth Street, especially with all the revitalization that has gone on the last several years, is that it really has become a destination, not only for people in San Rafael but for all people of Marin County. Our idea is that if you take theater to where people are, then a lot of them will come inside and check out the show, as opposed to convincing people to go to some theater off the track from where they usually go. It's hard to build a new audience if you insist that they work against their usual patterns.
