Issue Quotations | Page 6

Given current developments, China hopes Iran will restore suspension of all activities relating to uranium enrichment and create the conditions for appropriately resolving the Iran nuclear issue through peaceful negotiations.

Growth going forward is becoming the big issue for stock investors. Things are still OK on the earnings front, but some companies are beginning to be more conservative with their guidance.

I am very delighted to see Apple take this issue seriously. This was a real issue and most people tried to ignore it.

I am the commissioner who says I will give taxpayers whatever they want to pay for. It's unfair to force the issue on a group of people.

I can't for the life of me see any issue here.

I can't devote or focus on one issue for very long because there's always something else. That's the most stressful thing. The other big fear is that I'm going to overlook some deadline or responsibility.

I did a shoot for 'Sports Illustrated,' and my grandpa called me and asked when my issue of 'Playboy' was coming out. It was hilarious as well as embarrassing.

I did not dwell on the issue of Europe during either the 2001 or the 2005 campaigns - despite it being a pivotal personal concern and despite seeing it as something of a litmus test for liberal democracy.

I can think of nothing that would galvanize and anger a wide segment of the American public more than overturning Roe v. Wade . I can't think of another issue that would generate as much intensity not only from the active left and feminists, but also from a lot of people in the middle.

I can tell you that gambling was never an issue in our locker room. J.R. (Jeremy Roenick) admitted he was gambling. That guy makes a lot of money, but that doesn't make it right.

I can tell you with absolute certainty, it's not true. The second issue of our magazine should be on newsstands in April.

Foul trouble was a little bit of an issue for us. But it really just comes down to concentration.

Franklin has to be No. 1. There is no issue that is greater. Something has to be done and I'd like to see this move forward.

frankly, I can't be in a position where that's an issue to me right now.

Frankly it does not sit very comfortably with us because we are raising this issue for the very valid reasons we have outlined.

Frankly I think that's unfair, ... ...I think it's possible to take issue with the content of that film. I think it's certainly fair to debate what it said about the time and what it continues to say about the issue of race relations in the United States. But I don't think that that is his whole identity. The man was one of the great figures in film history, he was the inventor of the epic film.

Frankly I will confess to this panel that privately I take issue every now and then with the rating of a film, and I think the rating board might have erred. But if there are errors in the accuracy of a movie rating, it is a matter of a judgment call and not an exile in integrity,

Frankly, that's one of the reasons why, after having tried to resolve this issue through negotiations and through a good and reasonable proposal from Russia, we're having to go to the Security Council.

Freddy has consistently supported the rights of noncitizens to vote but welcomes a healthy debate of the issue before it becomes law.

I don't think anyone questions the good intentions of the project. The issue brought up is who's going to foot the bill.

Fundamentally, we see a positive correlation between gas prices and sales of vehicles. We're certainly seeing fuel economy becoming a more important issue with consumers as we continue to see gas prices rise.

Fuel economy will always be an issue that's lingering in the back of people's minds. Given the number of new products coming out, we expect compact and subcompact cars and SUVs will continue to grow this year.

Furthermore, the stakeholders in this issue have been most upset by the procedures used in the original survey and wish to underscore the fact that the matter may be life threatening.

For me, the biggest issue was credibility. People said 'Hey, we know you can kick a football straight, but I want someone with experience to manage my money.

For me, the issue is service ? do our producers have convenient access to an FSA office? That's the key to me. That's more important than any particular number of offices, ... Now, I am concerned about closing that many offices and the impact that will have on services.

Gilchrist has the most emotional issue. A lot of people hate illegal immigration. And on that issue alone he is going to be able to motivate (voters). There's a lot of frustration and nobody is coming up with any answers.

Gilchrist will appeal to the hard-core conservatives on the single issue of immigration, and one would think, take votes away from John Campbell.

Get the word out and focus on this issue now, ... I expect to see immediate improvement.

Getting another chance to make our case for more aid is huge, just the fact that the federal government is willing to revisit the issue is a positive thing. And it would be a huge thing if they included the damage in Enfield; a turnaround like that does not happen every day.

From July until the end of December was one of the highest periods ever of increases for transportation projects. Labor costs are not an issue here - it's raw materials.

From our point of view, the issue isn't just a player did this. It's their reaction, and what they did leading up to it and how they handled it afterward.

From our point of view, the main sticking point was the issue of allowing persons to come in and sue state agencies (and those receiving state funding) for not providing either an interpreter or vital documents translated.

From my viewpoint, I don't know if it's not a burning issue for the people, or they don't know it's going on. We'd like to have public input and know what they think, but they're just not coming.

I feel good, I'm getting into my game, obviously the first two games wasn't the best but it became a mental issue for me, I feel I can carry on and contribute to the team in a positive way.

I am confident that (Monday) will bring the final chapter on the issue of IRA arms,

I am confident that tomorrow will bring the final chapter on the issue of IRA arms,

I am excited, and I applaud the city council for its creativity and bold decision to put the issue squarely before the courts in a way that is not reckless.

I don't think it's necessary to bring attention to that. We're kind of sensitive to the issue and understand that maybe it's going to take him a little time to feel comfortable, but we're OK with that.

I don't think it is an issue here.

I don't think it's a journalist's job to issue shopping lists or policy descriptions. We're supposed to show people how the world is, to give them the tools they need to make good decisions as citizens or consumers. Depending on what your values are the environment, your health, animal welfare the answers are going to be different for every person.

I don't think it's an issue now. They've played each other since so I don't believe it will be a problem.

I don't think it's an issue of playing hard or taking (Tuesday games) lightly. We just need to get it done.

I don't think it's an issue of them not being prepared or organized. I think it's an issue of their judgment as to what value they placed on Johnny Damon.

I don't think it's a question of how big or small it is. It is an issue that we have to contend with because of the action that was filed and we're responding through the legal process.

I don't think it's quite the issue that it was made out to be initially,

I don't think it's so much a legal issue as a practical issue. In practicality, I don't think it would work.

I don't think it was so much an issue as it was a question of how it would be called. There was definitely aggressive driving up toward the front. But it was just like the other Daytona 500s.

I entirely see this as an issue for government right now. Until the government says, 'Here are the standards, and here are the regulations,' the ... (shipping industry) is sitting still and waiting, out of fear that if you make an investment, the technology will be declared insufficient in the future.

I explained the American situation. I promised to pass on the substance of her communication to Washington as soon as possible. I did that. Well, certainly, the issue was difficult and painful. The relationship between Mrs. Tanaka and me and our two governments was difficult, but it was not painful.

Global warming is a key environmental issue and a bottom line issue for the $3bn ski industry and its employees.

Giving for the tsunami was literally off the charts. There may be an issue of donor fatigue, it's too early to tell, but it looks like giving for the Pakistan earthquake is more typical of the historical response by U.S. donors to international emergencies.

For most of our members, this is not an issue back home. We're doing this because we want a good bill.

For too long, it's been a hidden issue in Florida. It's a testament to our state that we're going to try to stop this.

If anything was to happen to a patient taken to the forensic unit because there was nowhere else available in the system it would raise a major duty of care issue for the hospital and the State Government.

For me, this boils down to a bigger issue . . . this is our natural resource,

I don't think it's clear yet, because of the on-going investigation, (that) there was an issue with background checks. If there is, we'll deal with it.

For this reason, while we believe that many more people could benefit from taking aspirin, it is important for patients and their physicians to discuss this issue and weigh the benefits and potential drawbacks of this therapy.

For those contemplating a presidential effort, this helps to get out in front of that issue three years before the first primaries, so they are on record and not waiting until the primaries to change. That goes for others who are not running for president as well.

For us it is a settled issue. We hope it's a settled issue for everybody.

For us it wasn't so much about winning or losing. It's about showing up and proving to ourselves that we belong with the best team in the NHL. We show up with no effort by so many guys, that's just embarrassing. I don't know how to explain it, but there's definitely an issue here that we'll have to resolve before the playoffs start.

For us, the litigation issue is really a risk assessment issue, and the fact that an injunction is almost always issued automatically creates a lot of risky situations.

I expect us to play hard and get better each week. We've got some guys injured who will not able to play (Friday), and that is a concern and an issue for us.

I don't think you should necessarily listen to a celebrity just because he is one. But if you can marshal your celebrity and really steep yourself in whatever issue you're trying to promote, it can actually move the ball forward, and we've done that.

I don't think you would have seen a gathering like this six years ago, before 9/11, or even two or four years ago. This is a 35-year deficit Democrats have had on national security where it's been an issue to be survived, not highlighted.

I don't understand why black people have been so quiescent, so passive over the hundreds of years of American history. Why hasn't there been more violence, more armed struggle? I know answers to some of that, but it seems to me it's an issue of faith, an abiding faith in some sort of great beyond, or great spirit, or even in the American dream.

I don't view this as an issue of morality.

I don't want that play to be the main thing. We got some great hitting lately, good pitching all the way through; let's not make a big issue out of that one play.

If, and only if, our further testing and analysis supports flying without a PAL ramp is aerodynamically alright to do, as our preliminary analysis indicates it would be, then the May launch window is still possible to make. If our new testing and analysis indicates we need the PAL ramp, we'll stop our shuttle processing, reassess and work the issue from there.

If it's possible, when I'm done with this, I'll try to finish up there. There won't be an issue of a contract. Whatever it takes. I'll take the minimum.

I believe that this budget has failed to deal with the single most important issue facing this country. And as a result, everything contained in this Budget, and all of the discussions we embark upon are really moot.

I believe the most complicated issue is Jerusalem , ... But I believe that if there will be a breakthrough on Jerusalem, I believe that other issues could be pushed forward in an effective way

I believe the most complicated issue is Jerusalem ... refugees -- not an easy one -- and as of now borders and settlements and a security regimen have not been fully solved,

I believe there is a product transition issue going on. I think that it has lost the mindshare of its channel partners and some customers because, from a product improvement perspective, it hasn't introduced new features for its core product in about a year.

I believe they took it all into consideration. Like I said, though, I just want to bring some local attention to the issue because I feel it is an important thing and I believe it would benefit our state and the people who work here.

I believe this housing issue has brought our community to a tipping point, ... We're compromising our health, safety and welfare.

Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that's fine; it's OK. I don't want to be the McDonald's of music. I don't want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody's cup of tea, you'd probably be boring.

Certainly I think the issue of race as a factor will not go away from this equation.

Certainly, it (New Orleans) will be more of a Hispanic city than before. The real issue is how well immigrants will be integrated into the community.

Certainly, I would like to get him the ball more, but if you force the issue then it doesn't do any good,

Certainly, one thing that has to be considered is that while this place is a great area to live, the cost of living is significantly higher than the state average. And traffic is clearly becoming an issue as well.

I and others have been looking desperately for silver linings in this tragedy and if Katrina were to motivate Congress to look at this issue seriously, that would be great.

But they are still the candidates on the general election ballot. You issue the candidate a declaration of his candidacy,

But we do not see much headway in this regard before general elections are held next year. We will raise the six-day work issue again.

Cap room was not an issue with them or Orpheus. The deal is fair. There was no reason to wait and see what happened. He kind of said, the heck with whatever might be out there.

Cardinal Mahony speaking out unleashed something really big. He, the church, made this issue public in a very profound way.

Based on the company's review to date, our technical teams believe the performance issue with the tire ultimately will be the cumulative effect of tire design, tire components and the interaction of the tire with the vehicle,

Based on the numbers involved, (vouchers) may have a greater political impact as an issue than as a financial issue. I think it's philosophically an issue that can show differences.

Based on the obvious self defense issue here. No charges are being brought against the clerk.

But both of those benefits are going to disappear by December and then January and February are going to be very, very tough. I don't have an issue for Intel's third quarter, which is mostly over. My concerns are mostly focused on the first quarter of next year -- that's when things are going to start getting derailed.

But getting our accurate position out there on this issue is something we've had to work hard to achieve, ... A sizeable amount of inaccurate, or even blatantly biased, information makes its way to the web, and the more sensational stories - true or not - tend to get amplified by repetition.

Bulk annuities did compensate this quarter, but this weakness remains an issue given that annuities supply 50% of Legal & General's new business profits.

Bullying is a public health problem (tied to) the larger issue of youth violence in this country.

Bunching poor people together in the same neighborhood has enormous implications for education, business investment and the health of families, ... The issue in New Orleans is not only about rebuilding a great American city, but it's also about undoing 50 years of mistakes of federal housing policy.

Bur I think all the environmental groups have to focus on at least one main issue together. That's the move we need to do right now.

I don't care whether they hunt or not. It's a takings issue to me. These guys thought they were legal.

I do not question that the attorney general should have this immunity. But for tactical reasons, I would not raise the issue here.

I do not think this will affect the outlook of foreign investors in the Philippines, because the Supreme Court has also ruled on the same issue already. But police authorities have to move fast and solve this case.

I feel very comfortable about it. ... I don't think there's any issue at all.

I feel very comfortable saying I more than likely will not come back and coach, ... The health issue is very important.

I feel very strongly as a partisan Democrat that this will be a major issue in the 2006 election.
