Jim Quotations | Page 2

We're number two in the polls and the number one candidate, Jim Davis, has more money and a better chance of winning if we unite behind him,

We're on par to win the nomination with flying colors. It remains to be seen what kind of showing Jim Gilchrist is going to make. ... He's talked about one issue and this is a fairly sophisticated district.

Huck and Jim are both going through similar things. They're both trying to figure out what it means to be a man in their own lives. They both want the same things: freedom, prosperity.

We may look differently and act differently, but we both share a love for Eastern basketball, a love for the game, a love for people. To go in with Jim is befitting.

Having a Jim Carrey film over the holidays is a pretty sure bet. Audiences trust he'll have the goods, and they want to laugh and have a good time this time of year.

He coached at the highest level as an assistant under Jim Calhoun, he took over a program and learned how to become a head coach, and then he came to the Ivy League -- and it really helps to know how to recruit and how it works in this league. His background was impeccable. He was a front-runner from day one.

He cares for his players. He gives them that individual touch. And he's honest. When he tells you something, you can go to the bank with it. He's an excellent human being. If you can't get along with Jim Tracy, then you've got issues.

He was the biggest cheater the game has ever known. I told Jim he shouldn't be wearing glasses because he must have Superman vision. The ball would be two feet from me or Bernie, and there's Jim ? from the other end of the court ? making line calls.

He is doing well and, basically, he's ready to go back to work. But by the time he got game-ready, there might be a couple of games left. Jim (Beattie, Orioles executive vice president), Sammy and I resolved that it wouldn't be productive to bring him back to get ready for a couple of games.

He's had a lot of background and there is a lot of goodwill among the aboriginal communities. For those looking to get that development done and working with the aboriginal communities, I think Jim Prentice is a pretty bright light.

He talked about Jim Devine all the time ... and I knew Pat had such respect for him. In the back of my mind, I knew we were moving. I knew if Jim made him an offer, we'd take it. I thought this would be a big key to Pat's success.

He's got tons of credibility. Just the other team knowing you have a Jim Leyland on the other side, they know you're going to play the game the right way, you're going to play hard and you're not going to quit until that 27th out is made.

He's down there to play, but we're here to win. I have to talk to Jim and figure out who's the best for us.

He's kind of in no-man's land a little bit. He's early on breaking stuff and late on fastballs. Jim Edmonds is probably in the same zone. You've got to swing your way and fight your way out of it. You can't try to press, but it's easier said than done.

He said he felt a little tight. By the time I left the ice, I wasn't aware there was much of a problem. But certainly talking to (trainer) Jim Ramsey afterwards he felt very uncomfortable.

He is a driver with talent, ability and maturity, he manages to finish all his races. My record is going to be in good hands. Everything happened very quickly in my career. It was a very great honour for me to break Jim Clark's record (as youngest champion),

He has the attitude that it's do or die. We all know that. We want to stay with Coach Haslett. If we get on that football field and don't make plays and lose football games, then obviously Jim Haslett won't be here and we won't either.

He helps us in the field. But he helps this team more in the clubhouse, in the hotels, in the bus, in the planes. You look around baseball and one of the people they don't say anything negative about is Jim Thome. They love the way he respects the game and treats his fans and teammates.

He needs privacy and time. I'm going to take Jim out to the wilderness somewhere and take a long, restorative wilderness walk.

He doesn't have a lot of sympathy for that position when you played nine, 10 years in the league in that Jim Brown era he played in.

We (township road supervisor Jim Baker and I) never saw two inspectors. There was only one, if even he was there.

Jordan and Jim White (16-10 at second doubles in 2005) are going to be playing first doubles for us. Our singles players are definitely going to be strengthened with Nick playing, but our doubles teams definitely have an opportunity to develop.

My problem was with the process and not Jim Francis.

My program is not critical. It's almost like a billboard for the author's book. I've never presented it as being anything other than that. We get a dialogue going and we get to the point where it is a conversation. Mostly you hear the author and not Jim Foster. That's my goal.

My roomate at 'Harvey' is this guy Morgan Spector, an actor in town, and I've taught him Hive and Fastrack. Others have played For the Win, but Cards Against Humanity has been the dressing room hit. We've had the understudies, even Jim Parsons playing it. Our dressing room is practically sponsored by Cards Against Humanity.

Thankfully, Jim had enlisted a large cadre of volunteers who are capable of providing effective leadership with regard to specific ministry areas in the interim,

I went to church and Jim and his wife, Liz, went to see the home.

I went and looked at all Mark's work. He can get huge laughs and not imitate Jim Carrey. The bonus is the emotional reality of Mark. It's a given that he'd be there in a crunch for his leading lady.

My mind wanders and that's why I needed a Jim Brooks in my life. I did learn on this movie the most I've ever learned about making a movie from Jim.

I was comfortable that Jim Tracy was an excellent choice. I'm confident, from having worked with the guy for five or six years, that he's a very good communicator, he understands the game well, he has lots of experience as a Major League and Minor League manager, and he's won.

I was concerned with him losing attendance, because of the conflict of me doing my show, ... So I told him I would lend my name to the benefit, so we could advertise it as 'Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sitting In.'

Mark and Jim are true visionaries in the Internet space, each having built and run extremely successful companies from the ground up. They are both savvy managers and possess the kind of entrepreneurial spirit that has always been the heart of our company.

I returned the call (and it was Jim Gregory of the selection committee) and found out I'd been selected. Needless to say, I didn't finish the round. I put birdies down for the 17th and 18th holes.

Staying with Jim was the result of a very fortunate time in my life. I really had two first choices of where I wanted to be, with Jim or with the Mariners, a first-class organization to work for, ... at least one of the top candidates.

Pittsburgh just got a lot better. If I were a general manager and I had one choice, it would be Jim Tracy. (The Pirates) made a great hire.

I saw how they went out and how happy they were. I spoke with Jim a couple of times and he just said, 'don't let this opportunity get past, this is your last year, possibly could be my last year playing football,' so I just want to go out on top.

I was 10, and I played Jim Hawkins in 'Treasure Island' at school, and this great Liverpudlian actor called Andrew Schofield - he was Johnny Rotten in 'Sid And Nancy' - came to watch it, and he had a word with my mum and dad afterwards and told them I should have a go at the Everyman youth theatre. I've never looked back.

I think what he brings is attitude. I think he's a winner. I've known him for years and I talked to a lot of players who played for him. He loves to win, and he likes to see everything the right way in the field. And that's what we need on the team. If he doesn't like something, he'll come to us or to the player and tell him. It's great for us to have Jim and the coaching staff.

I think what's striking here with both of these companies is that neither of them had any track record of supporting Jim Doyle until they got state business. It certainly creates suspicion about the decision to give these contracts to these companies.

Jim always wanted to have a horse in the Derby. He never once said to me that he wanted to win the Kentucky Derby because he'd been so blessed in his life, he thought it would be asking for too much.

Jim and I are still receiving surgical attention, and will be the remainder of our lives.

Jim and I both believe ... that if there was a reasonable price opportunity to make this buy, that people in Lexington with money would be standing in line to take part.

Jim and I go back a long way. I was 22 and working on an offshore oil rig, 14 days on and 14 days off, and I shared an apartment with Jim in New York. He was trying to make his way as a musician. I always enjoyed his singing and playing, but I finally figured out how good he really was when I answered the phone one day, and it was Roland White leaving a message for Jim asking him if he was available to play a gig.

Jim and I have formed a great relationship. When the time is right for Jim to move on, then we'll have that discussion. Of course he's thought about retirement. That's something most people do when they get to a certain stage of their careers.

Jim and I talked before the game (Monday) about this. It just doesn't make sense. Too many good teams. It's too difficult to stack the deck against people.

Jim believes in what NIU soccer can be. His enthusiasm and passion is contagious, his attitude convinced me this was a place I wanted to be.

Jim Boyle gave me an opportunity to enter college basketball in 1985 and I will be forever grateful.

Jim brings to the position many years of manufacturing experience and a hands-on approach to quality manufacturing and customer satisfaction. Our vertical approach to design and building world-class semiconductor equipment relies on quality design and efficient manufacturing. Over the years, Jim has proven his ability to lead our manufacturing organization to new levels of excellence.

Jim built this agency, and I mean that literally,

Jim Burnett is ideally suited to lead the build-out of the Bank's expansion activities. Jim has a long track record of successfully managing large complex projects. His technical and project management expertise will enable the Bank to efficiently continue its expansion plans and appropriately utilize new technologies to enhance our customers banking experience.

Jim Busch has more personality in his little paw than I would hope for in a lifetime.

Jim Cameron is a feisty man and a perfectionist, but also absolutely brilliant.

Jim cared so much about the library. I think somehow it should be connected to the library.

Jim could really get the job done. He could pick a course apart.

Jim Crawford at the district office had anticipated (the rise), ... It was good forethought on the district's part.

Jim Crawford at the district office had anticipated (the rise). It was good forethought on the district's part.

Jim Crow images contain a history of humiliation, degradation and separation. It's not the kind of thing that you get over -- they show up again and again in modern ads, music and film.

Jim Crow was king . . . and I heard a game in which Jackie Robinson was playing, and I felt pride in being alive. The baseball held was my fantasy of what life offered.

Jim (Dent) is such a great wedge player. It was just awesome for him to come over and do this.

Jim Dickinson is a musical shaman. He not only understands and knows music, he knows and understands the people who make it. It was kind of freaky sometimes, because he would seem to know what we were thinking musically before we played it, then he'd articulate it in a way that made more sense than how we envisioned it.

Jim died in 1971, and the problem of trying to replace him was insurmountable at that time. But after 30 years or so goes by, it doesn't seem so insurmountable.

Jim doesn't yell and scream to get a point across. He doesn't belittle players. He has his ways of getting his point across, but it's in a professional manner. And this coaching staff follows his lead.

Jim Doyle is telling the people of Wisconsin that he is more interested in campaign cash than he is on restoring the reputation of our state.

Jim drove her home in the pickup and he delivered her to my dad. My dad took her to the rehab unit. Then, all of a sudden, it's a solo album again.

Jim earned this by working hard all year long. The school is so fortunate to have another state speech champion.

Jim enjoyed a successful career at Michigan State and we look forward to his continued development at the professional level. He has a great deal of potential which will be enhanced as he competes for a spot on our roster.

Jim Fowler deserves much of the credit for the tremendous growth of our missions ministries, ... Jim brought a unique blend of gifts and passion to this position. He leaves big shoes to fill and we will miss his leadership.

Jim Gerlach ran in his first race to say he would be an independent voice. He has not been the independent voice and leader we need in Congress.

Jim Gibbons has continued to run a positive campaign. He's talking about the future of Nevada.

Jim gibbons is anxious to debate his opponents and we'll do it as soon as we know who his opponents are but he has a full-time day job he was elected to, and we have to balance that out with campaigning.

Jim Gibbons said Kenny should never have raised the taxes, ... He is on the record saying that. Then fine, we don't need the money. So when Jim Gibbons is elected governor, he should go and cut $833 million out of the budget.

Jim Gibbons would be happy to work with Dina Titus and the rest of the Legislature to determine if that's the best course of action. Right now, he'll continue to abide by the current state law.

Jim had a little bad luck on the second playoff hole and that opened the door for me and I hit a pretty good shot out of the bunker.

Jim had a little trouble getting on track. I'm sure if he'd been in the lineup all season we'd see a different final outcome.

Jim had to go on the dole, but he didn't wear the pain on his sleeve, ... He accepted it and kept trying to do the best he could for his family. The Great Depression is a character, and I think the villain in this piece is poverty. If there's a single moment in Braddock's life that I think makes him important in history, it's the fact that he went to the Social Security Commission and repaid the money he'd taken when he was on the dole. That shows you more about his character than anything in his boxing career.

That shows you more about his character than anything in his boxing career.

Jim has always been good in that if something's about to happen, he'll call and talk to you. I haven't heard anything. There aren't too many teams I want to play for. This team has a chance to win, number one, and it's also a fun team to play for.

Jim has a true, dedicated following. What's beautiful about his movies is that you go into a theater and you see something you're not going to see anywhere else.

Jim has been a loyal assistant and a great friend for some 13 years. He played a major role in our success at Wyoming and Purdue. I know he's excited about this next phase of his career, and we wish him nothing but the best in the National Football League.

Jim has never taken a dime from either one us, ... In fact, he's given us more money than we could ever give back. He's a great guy. You couldn't ask for a better person.

Jim has provided exceptional leadership to our news department as well as playing a major role in community events in both Lexington and the entire state of Kentucky. I know he will provide outstanding leadership to this important station in our group.

Jim has put together a true partnership and has graciously shared the resources of his affiliate and Westchester with us. He's been just a fabulous resource and friend to the New Orleans affiliate.

Jim (Hendry) never came out and said, 'We're looking to trade him,' so I don't really validate any of the rumors.

Jim (Hindman) has given me carte blanche. This is the first time I'm really working on something with the writer.

Jim Hood and I wish to help the people on the Coast. We're just going about it in different ways.

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.

Jim Hunt had a bucket over there to catch it. Well, Mike didn't know to catch it - so it filled up and spilled over and leaked.

Jim is a good friend of mine, but we want to beat their tail off just like anybody else we play.

Jim is a great coach who has won more games than I have. I've got my own problems this year ... having two great quarterbacks isn't a problem.

Jim is a guy who played a long time in the big leagues. Every day he had to battle to fight for every hit he got. I like that, guys who have battled through adversity.

Jim is a likable guy. He is a man of compassion. He is not a pushy fellow. Jim is trying his best to make a living.

Jim is an extremely talented banker with more than 15 years of experience in the energy sector. He will be a great asset to our team, and together with Mitch will provide our clients with outstanding advice and execution.

Jim is an outstanding baseball player. He's a consummate baseball player. He's not real big, he's not very flashy, but he knows how to play the game. He's very analytical. He's a smart baseball player and he's got a bright future.

Jim is a perfect fit for this role. His exceptional experience and leadership are highly regarded within the industry and we know he'll continue to contribute significantly to the success of the group.

Jim is a real honest guy. I knew I deserved to be on the team, but I couldn't be mad because he was honest about the situation. You don't always find people like that in baseball. He's just a really decent person.

Jim is considered one of the top line coaches in the business. We are excited to have him return to UCLA. He has a wealth of experience at both the collegiate and professional levels and has enjoyed success throughout his career.

Jim is first, last and always a gentleman,

Jim is in the same boat as me in that hopefully he'll be fit in time for pre-season training. It's really disappointing news.

Jim is kind of the constant to photography in Denver, on a lot of levels. He's a historical archive.

Jim is one of the hardest working general managers in the game and I have every confidence that he will improve our team this off-season while continuing to build a solid foundation that will yield a perennial winning franchise worthy of the great city of Washington.
