Except Quotations | Page 7

I think he's really undermined his credibility at this point, and it really saddles him with the kind of problems that Johnson and Nixon faced. These crises are such a heavy burden, and they are so self-inflicted, except for the court vacancies, that if he is not very careful and tries to put across someone who is seen as an ultraconservative, he is going to touch off a conflagration in the Senate.

I think I have lived in every part of L.A. except downtown. Everywhere from Topanga Canyon to Toluca Lake.

I think Ill be a clown when I get grown.. Yes, sir, a clown. There aint one thing in this world I can do about folks except laugh, so Im gonna join the circus and laugh my head off Im gonna stand in the middle of the ring and laugh at the folks. Just looka yonder, every one of em oughta be ridin a broomstick.

I think everybody wants to see him. I haven't seen him since October, but we've talked on the phone. There's no urgency to talk except for the normal welcoming. There's a lot of time to discuss things.

I was there every day except when I went on vacation. I'd get there early and stay until the afternoon.

I think I always prefer the long jump, high jump, and javelin. I don't like the 400 metres and the pole vault except when I'm really in shape.

I tell everybody that my time at the 49ers was a great flight, ... except for the crash landing.

I tell it like it is. Nobody can make that decision except the man himself. He's the one that's got to make it, and don't look back. Don't you dare look back.

I was very pleased (with the season), the way we competed in every game and were in every game except two.

I won't lie to you. Notre Dame is such a fun place to play. I loved every minute of it, uh, except for when we weren't making plays.

I won't comment on the dollar amount except to say that it?s not correct, though not off by an order of magnitude.

I was glad I did, except when I was wandering around in my real life with this big red Afro. I looked like Ronald McDonald.

I was happy overall except for a couple of my drives and a couple of my approach shots. Usually my first round is the worst. I am elated, but it is three rounds.

I think Peter knows what the results of the MRI were and he knows the risks involved. Going over there is his choice and he made the decision to go, so we wish him good luck except against the Canadians.

I think poetry should be read very much like prose, except that the line breaks should be acknowledged somehow.

I think people have misconstrued that. I don't think we've been playing the underdog card. We've been playing the us-against-the-world card. I don't care if you're a favorite or not, you can still play that card. I think it's us. We believe in ourselves and we believe that nobody believes in us except us. That's the approach we're going to continue to take because that's all we need is each other.

It doesn't have any value for anybody except for the piece of equipment that it operates for.

It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.

It feels like a vacation down here. Well, except for when (Hurricane Katrina) came through. I'd never been through anything like that. Trees were upturned and there was a really sharp, loud howl of the wind - incredible.

It felt like a regular World event, except more hyper. It was just awesome.

I think the only negative today - except that I didn't make all the birdies I wanted - is that I let the field get closer,

I think that she has absolutely no idea that, except for her boobs, she doesn't get that she's not a man, and that she can't do everything men do and better. She just happens to have these big, wonderful things on her chest. So, let's just enhance those because it seems to distract them.

It is one of our more stable cities in terms of a population that has stayed, ... It's not a city where people leave in large percentages or arrive in large percentages, except as tourists. So I think you're going to see a very strong impulse among the people there to rebuild.

It is not in the interest of any cellular service provider to get out ahead of the cost problem. This is simply because the effort would not have an impact on carrier finances except in a bad way.

It is now possible to abolish work and replace it, insofar as it serves useful purposes, with a multitude of new kinds of free activities. To abolish work requires going at it from two directions, quantitative and qualitative. On the one hand, on the quantitative side, we have to cut down massively on the amount of work being done. At present most work is useless or worse and we should simply get rid of it. On the other hand -- and I think this the crux of the matter and the revolutionary new departure -- we have to take what useful work remains and transform it into a pleasing variety of game-like and craft-like pastimes, indistinguishable from other pleasurable pastimes, except that they happen to yield useful end-products.

I think we accepted that it could happen here, seeing it happen in London, a city as I've said before we know better than any city in the world except our own.

It is a curious fact that innumerable readers have asked me if I wrote this story. They seem never to remember the title of the story or (for sure) the author, except for the vague thought it might be me. But, of course, they never forget the story itself, especially the ending. The idea seems to drown out everything else - and I'm satisfied that it should.

It is a great way to get your mind off stress. When you are climbing, nothing really exists except for you and the wall. When you are finished, you look down and feel like you have accomplished something.

It happens, and it happens to everybody. It was just their turn to make them and we didn't play bad except for that one inning but, against a good team, one inning is all it takes.

I think we dominated the whole game except for four minutes, when we had a lull,

I think we're playing good baseball. We're getting a lot of hits, scoring a lot of runs, despite playing in bad weather except for the last two days. I remember last year we were 12-2 and we were supposed to be going to the World Series.

I thought our defense was pretty good in the first half except we fouled too much. I thought we were in control of the game for the most part. We wanted to go inside and we did that with Tino having a good night down low.

I thought a lot about that (Wednesday) night, thinking about pitching to the Yankees. It was just like pitching another game to another team, except they had a lot of stars over there. Overall, I felt pretty good.

I thought Erik had a good game except for the two sacks. I've been pleased with Jonathan Crompton for him to get into the huddle and verbalize the way he does and with his ability to throw with arm strength. That's been impressive.

I though the defense did all right, but they got fatigued pretty early, ... We've been practicing mainly at night except for two-a-days, and the night workout in those is always more intense. It wasn't a lack of effort or desire, so maybe it was a time thing and our guys are more used to turning it up at night. But with this hot, muggy morning, they got tired in a hurry.

I thought he dominated the game with his speed, defensively. Overall, except for a little lull at the end of the first half and third quarter, we played pretty well.

I thought we had a full team effort today, everybody played except for two of our goalkeepers. San Jose was very organized and kept numbers back. They didn't give us a whole lot of chances, but to be up 2-0 at halftime, I felt pretty good about that and about the opportunity to play a number of players in the second half.

I thought we had a quality, quality game tonight. Guys played to win down the stretch ? except execution and closing out games, on both ends of the floor.

I thought we had control of the whole game. I thought we played very well except for a penalty here and there that they scored on. It was a great game.

I thought we played a very good game except for there being too many strikeouts and the bunt defense at third. That ended up being the run that hurt us. Eric tried to guide it over to third and we had the lead runner.

I thought we played terrific defense and well enough offensively. I think we can play a little better offensively but defensively, except for a few mistakes on the perimeter, we were solid.

I thought we played them evenly everywhere except the free throw line. We were not awed by anything.

I thought we controlled game except for that four-minute stretch. What happened in that four-minute stretch, our top seven kids weren't involved in that. We have to get more young kids learning to play.

I thought we did a great job on him. All he shot was a lot of free throws. He's a great player, but we took him out of his game for the most part except for the free throws. I guess he did a good job of getting in there and drawing the fouls.

I thought we did a pretty good job on everything except threes.

It is simple. It works like a bank, except that instead of money you deposit works of art to secure your own future.

I was a terrible little do-gooder, saccharine, most unreal kind of a character - except once in a while a director or script or combination of the two came along where I began to look like something else and sound like something else.

I talked my friend into going with me. It was all adults except for us,

It is absolutely unheard of for a court to restrict publication of information except for in issues of clear national security.

I thought we responded to everything well except for this last month. I think, looking back, it is fair to say that we hit a wall.

I think we made a positive stride in how we played. We challenged every pass. If we make some of those interior shots, things go the other way. It was a step in the right direction, except for the fouling. We know that.

I think we gave a good effort and we did just about everything right in order to win hockey games, except for scoring goals. I have to hand Huet credit. He played a good game -- a really good game. But you forget about this one and go again (today at the Garden against Carolina). That's what you do.

I thought that we fenced well. We didn't lose to any one team except Ward Melville. We finished behind Brentwood because they won so decisively over their other opponents and most of our matches were very close.

I thought we dominated pretty much the whole game except for two plays in the second quarter. I really didn't say much (in the locker room), just to take it one play at a time. It felt like we were winning the ballgame. We played well in the first half, and being down was kind of hard to swallow.

We never went hungry, and we never had bills. In fact, we always paid cash for everything except a car or two through the years. You have to understand that during those first years of our marriage, my radio appearances meant a week to week pay for us. We got by just fine, and then when I got on CBS's Jimmy Dean Show, the real money started coming in. That good fortune was followed by hit records and concerts, so we always had plenty, but the key was that we always lived within our means and Ruth was an excellent money manager,

We now have what, for the general public, would appear at least to be a rather ludicrous situation. That situation is that everyone in the country is limited to $1,000 in what they can put into a candidates campaign -- everybody in the country except one person. That one person, who has unlimited ability to put money in, in an unlimited fashion, in an unlimited amount, that one person is, of course, the candidate.

I was never brave before. I always tried to make it work, ... Now I have nothing to lose except some cash, and it's just not that important to me. I've never been allowed up until now to remain who I am, or true to what my life is like.

I wasn't disappointed at all, except for the crappy weather. We came off such a banner year, there was no way to exceed it. To end up with an average attendance of 11,000 a game is quite successful.

I wasn't involved, except to the degree that they sent me drafts of the script as the writer turned them in. They asked me at one point to write a memo about what I thought of it.

Today's developments assist in the resolution of this situation, ... We have now secured and cleared all sections of the facility except for the warden's office.

Tribulation is treasure in the nature of it, but it is not current money in the use of it, except we get nearer and nearer our home, heaven, by it.

Tiffany has gotten a hit in every game we've played this year except one, and, defensively, she has been very strong. She means so much to our team. I don't think she has ever seen a pitch she doesn't believe she can hit.

We had now and then a recreation day, when we were relieved from our customary labor, and from all prayers except those for morning and evening.

We had occupied those buildings for 31 years, ... Nothing changed as result of the sale except ownership.

We had opportunities and we didn't make them. The defense played well enough to win all day except at the end.

We have the highest diaspora per capita of any developed country except for Ireland. We want to get back the quarter that weren't sure.

When is a good time to do it? Nobody knows. Right now, everybody's getting ready for the season in spring training. They're in the same boat, except for the guys who played winter ball.

You know how it is in Hollywood, everybody kisses everybody. It's a handshake in Ireland. And a kind of tentativeness. Except when it's mothers and small children." ()

The quarterback position is like a soap opera. You and I could have watched a certain soap opera in 1990, and you and I could be watching it over a beer in 2005, and it will be the same qualities, the same story, the same everything, except that the hairstyles have changed.

You didn't used to get that in the Metro, except for me.

You don't aim for it, but you can build an organization that way. I think we've done a good job as far as the players we've drafted except for the first year that I was here as general manager,

Well let's see; I'm not obsessed with... I like Walt Disney except that you know, except for the horrible fascism. I love the art of it. I like a lot of things I don't agree with and that's one of them.

You have Red Sox fans from coast to coast. The Yankees are an international team. The Red Sox match that. I don't think there is any question about that. They match anything the Yankees throw at them except victories. And they're going to try to solve that in the next 10 days.

You have tens of thousands of screeners, with haphazard training and professionalism that varies widely, ... All of this raises the questions of, are we really safer now? And are we getting anything out of this agency, except hassles?

THOSE who deny God, the Supreme Will or the First Cause, can give no real satisfactory justification for their stand; nor can those who assert that there is God. Both have to rely on their own experience. After all, how can sweetness be denied by one who refuses to taste sugar? How can one be convinced that sugar is sweet until one tastes it? We have to feel the great marvel of energy, manipulating both, the minutest atom and cell and the vastest, most distant star. How else can we understand the Omnipresence and Omnipotence, except by accepting God as the Architect of the Cosmos?

Unfortunately, we're at the top of a really bad list, ... That is railway crossing accidents and fatalities. Although we're not a populous state, we rank in the Top 3 in railway accidents and the Top 5 in deaths related to railway accidents. We have as many dangerous railway crossing as just about any state, except maybe for California and Illinois.

Thus, there can be no real disarmament except on the basis of the collective peace system of the League of Nations.

I would like to see better numbers. There's nothing I can do about it except work hard and try the best I can every day. What happens, happens.

We have an age limit. No children under six years of age, except for baby day which is the first matinee on Tuesdays. After that, it's ages seven-18 with a parent or guardian.

We've done everything at this program except win a national championship. This would be a pretty good year to do it.

Virtually all our carriers are beyond plan, except one or two that have specific issues.

Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best.

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.

Were winning the fight, but they are a very formidable competitor. Intel has managed to put everybody else out of the business except us. So it's a two-man game right now. We're the challenger, they're the champion. But I think we've got a great chance here to continue to gain market share.

We have chosen the normal kind of arbitration. Why they want this extremely rare and bizarre method, we don't understand except they want to have a winner and loser.

We played our hearts out. It was just like last year's game with Gonzaga, except this one hurts even worse because we were this much closer.

We need to judge our level, to learn. It will be a fine match. We have nothing to envy them ... except for their history. It will be 50-50.

I was born by Caesarean section, but you can't really tell... except that when I leave my house, I always go out the window.

The actions that we take on the counterterrorism front, again, are to take actions against individuals where we believe that the intelligence base is so strong and the nature of the threat is so grave and serious, as well as imminent, that we have no recourse except to take this action that may involve a lethal strike.

The amazing part is that there appears to be a lack of any motive behind this except destruction.

Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unfrocked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.

Merrill Lynch was down about $20 at one point. I'm sitting here with my hard hat on, watching things fall...This is not a market where you can do anything except pick up a few stocks that you think are going to do all right long-term.

We have one goal in mind. Everybody we meet is standing in the way of that goal. We can't be thinking about anybody except who's on the other side of the net.

My clients have been held up for public criticism for no reason at all except political motives. If (the town's) answer is a bunch of denials, we'll be in court.

Unlike other contracts, steel products vary greatly in category, quality and origin. No other country except India operates such contracts, and we don't know whether it works well.

Unlike some actors we'd rather not name, the gecko always knows his lines, he never refuses to come out of his trailer, and -- except for the occasional fly -- he doesn't expect special dietary considerations on the set.

We need to find a way to play the first half like we play the second half. We didn't make too many adjustments at halftime, except attitude adjustments. These guys had to come out with a different attitude and execute.

We aren't worried about anything except focusing on Grand Valley. We need to play our style against them and play good defensively and rebound well.

We came out very, very intense and I was excited about that. Except for a couple of mental letdowns the intensity was awesome.

We have nothing to show for our independence, except overwhelming poverty.
