Jim Quotations | Page 3

Jim is really going to be helping us expand the footprint. We don't need a peacemaker internally.

Jim is tenacious, a very capable guy. He doesn't have all the strengths of his dad, and he doesn't have the weaknesses of his dad.

Jim Jackson has been a solid player for many years in the NBA and we feel he'll be a good addition to our team. Being such a young team, he gives us veteran savvy as well as the ability to play multiple positions.

Jim Joel, Lord Howard de Walden, Nicky Phillips and Mrs Doris Allen were very hard to replace. The times are changing and we're moving with it. We're getting up back up there.

Jim jumped well and will continue to improve. Jim needs no motivation. He motivates himself enough.

Jim Leflore just wouldn't be moved. I thought that Shaun Doherty and Phil Morrison were outstanding defensively, and Phil Aiello came up with his second interception in two games.

Jim Leininger has fought long odds for more than a decade in trying to win better educational choices for inner-city youth. Tonight was just one more part of his long-term goal of saving lost children.

Jim Les has done a wonderful job with the program ... I really have a feeling Bradley is going to be a factor in the NCAA tournament for the next 20 years just because of this selection.

Jim Leyland, in my career, has been the best manager at running his bullpen. He's been the best manager at going out in the outfield and asking his pitchers how they're feeling every day and not having the pitching coach worry about it.

Jim Longenbach, poet, critic, and my husband, is always passing along life-changing books for me to read.

Jim loves Pennsylvania and his record proves it. He's spent a lifetime solving tough problems in both the public and private sectors and has built a reputation of results.

Jim McCarthy is an elected official, last time I checked. The Humane Commission makes the group adequately transparent, which is what council said it wants.

Jim McLean is one of golf's luminaries and his schools are known around the world. His Legends on the Niagara school will bring deserved profile to Niagara as a golf destination.

Jim Mora has an idea of what he can and cannot do... He has a firsthand knowledge of that, regardless of what he has seen on tape... He's seen him day-to-day for years. I think it goes back to them and how they want to play him. We'll play him the same way we usually do within the system.

Jeremy was actually with the Cleveland Browns when I was there. His father was a defensive coach, Jim Bates. Jeremy was actually a ball boy when I was there. He was 15-years old. We had a good laugh upstairs a little while ago.

I think Dina's very, very good, but I'm just not sure how she beats Jim Gibbons, ... I'm not going to say she can't, but I don't see how she brings the kind of Democrat who will vote for George Bush to the table.

I think Dave wanted to get into another area of work, and Jim said, 'Why don't you try out at the News Dispatch,' and he did.

People are going to be focusing on Jim Nussle's record in Congress and whether his record on budget deficits, tax cuts and Medicare cuts and Medicaid reflect Iowa's attitudes and positions on those issues. That's really what's going to decide this election, not the lieutenant governor.

My wife calls this 'national Jim Flynn week,' so she just writes me off.

My parents are my major supporters. I look up to Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson and Jim Carrey. They have all opened my mind and helped me with my craft.

Justin reminds me of Jim Brown in that he's real lazy getting out of the huddle and getting to the line, then all of the sudden he's gone.

Jim Nussle has said that a clean budget is one of his top priorities, and he has proven that today by keeping dicey policy language that has no budgetary consequence, namely drilling in the Arctic refuge, out of the budget.

Jim Nussle is doing the job he was elected to do by getting results on Iowa priorities.

Jim O'Brien, who kicked that field goal in 1970 that won the Super Bowl for the Baltimore Colts, said that kick gave him his 15 minutes of fame. And it has lasted 25-plus years. I feel the same way.

Jim Reid and I started the company as a design company, as I said earlier, back in '85 and and we transformed it into a product company in 1995.

Jim Rogers is wonderful fundraiser and has tremendous respect from a lot of people, but there are other people out there who would not give a dime to something just because he is involved. Just because he has those strong leadership qualities that can endear people to him or enrage them.

Jim Rollins is the king of the weird science action genre.

Jim Rutherford was the GM at the time. I was an asset. They could have added a player to make them better. Instead, they said we can trade you if you want but would you consider coaching?

Jim said this was a very Southern remark, but I made the statement, 'We're going to start the fire, and everybody else is going to throw some gasoline on it as they come by.'

Jim screamed at me. But I deserved it. Right, Jim?

Jim (senior) and I talked a couple of times over the last year about the crossing guard issue... about how important it was to have crossing guards.

Jim Sensenbrenner is once again deciding to abandon his fellow Americans in their time of need. This proposal would simply allow those citizens wiped out by Hurricane Katrina to file for bankruptcy under the old law, making it easier for these families to get back on their feet after this disaster. Apparently, Congressman Sensenbrenner doesn't think we should lend a helping hand to these families.

Jim Sloman and his team can help us deliver those goals and I am delighted that they will be working with our excellent in-house team to search for improvements wherever they can be found. Our aim is to put sport and the athletes right at the heart of the bid.

Jim's putt first certainly helped in my read, ... I didn't really do much except for read putts and have the pom-poms out, just cheering him on all the way. Jim played unbelievable golf. He hit the ball beautifully.

Jim started the company in his garage, making bike grips and goggles. He wanted to get into winter sports and that's when I came along.

Jim Sullivan did not murder his wife or hire anyone to murder his wife.

Jim (the son) has a lot of those qualities, but certainly in less degree. He's very energetic, a good speaker, he's got a certain amount of charisma.

Jim Thome has been hitting home runs long before I got here. He's over there doing what he's done his entire career. I'm still just trying to make a name for myself.

I think I would have to go so far as to say Russell is Jim Braddock. I'm amazed the way Russell picked up his mannerisms, his smoothness, the legs, the way he slides, that slip, slide, block, slide, jab - boom! Like Jim, he has just about the greatest left hook I've ever seen. He's got the speed, the rhythm, the determination and especially the will. Best of all, he has learned to think like a fighter. One thing about Braddock is that he was a smart fighter, and Russell uses his noodle just like Braddock did. I do think if he wasn't an actor, Russell could have been a great fighter.

I think it would be sad if we didn't join. This guy (House Speaker Jim Black, who proposed the law) is way out of line.

I think Jim Edmonds plays center field somewhat like how I played center field, and I like to watch him play it.

I think Jim Host can be the governor's lifeline.

I think Jim left us the gathering spot, the heart of the community. And I think his family carries on that tradition in a manner that makes him proud.

I think Jim Tobin is a great captain of the ship.

I thought Jim (Tressel's) answer was good -- that the only thing for sure he knows about who will start at quarterback is that Vince Young will play for us. (Not knowing) makes it very difficult for us. It's like preparing for another season opener.

I went to Hersey Hawkins and Jim Les basketball camp when I was in grade school. I've heard stories. Never on this level have I heard the amount of volume that's been going around Peoria and the buzz.

Jim thought 'world headquarters' implied a pretentiousness that wasn't appropriate.

Jim Tracey is a quality baseball man with a vast knowledge of the game. He will work on fundamentals with our ball players and get the most out of them.

Jim Tracy has a history of using all of his players. I know I'm going to get my chances to help this club.

Jim Tracy has been a passionate and valued member of the Dodger organization. I have an extremely high regard for him professionally and personally,

Jim Tracy is going to have some leverage this winter because there are going to be a number of openings,

Jim Vincent, when he had this problem, was near our building, and there were other people on the ground, and he did everything he could to get the aircraft away from the building and crash it where it crashed so that he wouldn't hurt anybody.

Jim was a brilliant man who brought tremendous leadership, energy and passion to his job. He made an indelible mark on McDonald's system.

Jim was actually born in what is now our computer room.

Jim was a jokester, a great guy and a private pilot. He took flying seriously, that was his passion.

Jim was apologetic and understanding, but he also came right out and explained every part of why they weren't keeping me, ... And, you know, that's something I saw all through camp. He was always talking to players, letting them know where they stand. I appreciated that. You always want the manager to be up front with you.

Jim was brought in to make the changes that needed to be made schematically, emotionally, strategically and fundamentally for us to go forward in conjunction with some very good coaches. They collectively and Jim individually deserve all the credit for the improvements that we've seen. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.

Jim was his effusive self. We talked about Romania, where Jim was selling shopping center sites.

Jim was in his element that day. He was a fantastic choreographer of words and he wanted us to pretend we were the SAS on a raid. We were to go in there, shoot 'em up, grab their beer and women and then bugger off. And that, of course, is basically what we did.

Jim was interested in exploring his own opportunities with creating his own fund and we're fully supportive of that.

Jim was the first full-time Bracken County state trooper.

Jim Weaver and Seth Greenberg are to be commended for how they have addressed this issue.

Jim Wilkes is a like a father to me. He's a good friend. We have fun together, we golf together and we hang out. In fact, I just got off the phone with him and our relationship hasn't changed. He advised me, but I never paid him to be my adviser. He looks over me as a friend and will always do that. For people to say he will not, just is not true.

Jim will not make it but Michael, who has a facial injury, will play. And Scott, who has been training with us, will help out by being on the bench.

Jim Wright was one of the best proponents of geography poetry. America is always about neighborhood. Jim Wright's neighborhood was Martins Ferry and the Ohio River.

John did a real good job staying ahead of the hitters most of the time. He was also able to get the curve ball over against certain hitters. I really liked the way he competed. He got seven innings in against a team that beat Coleman 12-5 and beat Jim Ned 6-4. I'm real proud of the way he pitched.

Last fall I finished a biography of Jim Lane and that has been accepted by Pelican and will be out in the future. He was the leader of the free state movement during the Bleeding Kansas era and was one of Kansas? first two senators. Missouri history buffs might remember him and his Lane Brigade as the ones who participated in the burning of Osceola.

I think Worcester might be the front-runner. They beat Milford, 3-0. I talked to JK (Worcester coach Jim Kenyon) and he said his girls played really well and stepped to the ball.

I think there's always a concern you have with very successful people moving on. But at the same time, one of the things I hear from Jim all the time is about his vision and how much he likes it here. That's why I always thought we would get something done.

It is also somewhat sexist to think that she has to stop her career so Jim can be governor. What if (Democratic candidate) Dina Titus is elected governor? Will her husband give up his career as a college professor to become the first man?

Our co-founder and company president, Jim Levy, came from a record industry background and understood the marketing and promotion of artists as well as products. So the video game business went from absolutely zero designer credit to something approaching rock star promotion.

Our family remains committed to the ongoing growth and improvement of Wal-Mart, and to representing the interests of all shareholders. Jim brings broad business experience and perspective to our board, and also brings a deep appreciation for the Wal-Mart culture and the importance of sustaining that culture throughout the company.

I was told in spring training I was the team leader -- by Paul DePodesta. By Jim Tracy. By (team owner) Frank McCourt, ... Growing up in L.A., I know how to deal with all types of people, and I do it on an everyday basis. But some people don't deal with all different types of people every day, and therefore don't know how to handle situations when they arise.

I was very impressed, ... to see that Jim Whitehurst would take time to have breakfast at such a challenging time.

I think I can add some pass rush and take some pressure off Jevon on the other side. Jim Johnson mentioned to me how he likes to get at the quarterback and pressure the passer. I think I can help this team do that.

I tell people my only successful long-term relationship was with Jim Packard. He was my rock. I didn't realize how codependent I was.

I wish I had brought that bell today. Jim would have appreciated that.

I think, if you're the Pirates, you've got to take a look at Brad Eldred, too. He's a special player. He's right there, and I think everyone sees that. And you know what? I've been in his shoes, too, when I was behind Jim Thome in Cleveland.

I was in a power position, obviously, so I drove a hard bargain. I wanted to make sure that Jim knew what I was looking for. Over time, through each contract, I've talked about 'This is what I'd like to have someday.' I think he got as close to that as he could.

I was excited by how heavily involved Jim Mangold had been with John in writing the script and how Jim was determined to get it right. That really meant a lot. It took some of the pressure off, because John was someone whose integrity you could always sense. People appreciated John's genuineness.

I still talk to Coach Jim Leavitt all the time, ... He's a piece of work. Gunther and him are real similar in a lot of ways. Leavitt's definitely an interesting guy. I call him every week during the season. I leave a message for Coach, talk some trash, tell him to pick it up, you're soft, stuff like that. It's going to be rough for USF, but we'll be a contender eventually.

It doesn't matter what we call it, it's still Robbie and I together playing 'Light My Fire' and 'Love Me Two Times.' John should come and play and let us celebrate and keep this music alive. Look, what do I say to the cynics? I would like to play with Jim Morrison again. But you know what? I can't call him. I'm sorry. He's dead. He's busy. He's in eternity.

It doesn't get much better than having a Jim Carrey movie for the holidays.

I think of Jim Brown. I've always been a Jim Brown fan.

I think the past three years Jim Beattie has been leading the effort with strong assistance from Mike. Now it will be Mike's chance. I think Mike is very capable and a very bright guy who certainly is adequate to perform the job.

I think we are going to move hastily to get this done. I had a long talk with Jim Armstrong today on the addition of the senior center to the community center,

I think its really disappointing. Jim Thome did a lot of good things for this town. It was kind of embarrassing. I was really surprised.

I think it was an awesome team effort, ... We helped bring it all together, but the credit really goes to Jim Dodson and the generals and other retired military officials who formed the strategic think tank to save Eielson.

I think we've stayed fairly consistent in our approach. We play the same system in Manchester. Bruce Boudreau coached there for seven years there and coached the way we like to coach up here. And now that Jim Hughes is (there), he's doing the same thing.

I think in this tournament, they've been able to inspire a lot of different people, people that maybe are really, really in need. I heard Jim talk about some stories of some people and the letters he's gotten. To me, that's what his team has been all about.

It basically breaks down that Jim Calhoun knows how to get the super athlete to play for him. When their men?s and women?s programs play, the entire state of Connecticut shuts down. They are considered the pro teams of Connecticut. Calhoun has a track record of recruiting and he maintains it.

I thought the Jim Dandy was a breakthrough performance for him. Any time you dominate a race like that I think it's a pretty big deal.

Three of the brightest baseball pitchers of their times staged comebacks without much success - David Cone, Jim Bouton and Jim Palmer - but there was room to admire their quixotic gesture.

We were going to mount a helicopter onto a frame that fit onto a snowmobile and have Arnold appear to be shooting down the hill, and Arnold said to Jim (Cameron), 'If you will put your 2-year-old in it, then I will get into it.' He made it very personal to all of us.

We have the greatest role model there is in Tony Dungy. And as Jim said to the team (Thursday) morning, we'll emulate our leader.

To go in with Jim is very fitting. I couldn't get somebody that I've been so parallel with over the past 20 years as Jim Boeheim.

I would love to see Jim Bates back again. He's an excellent coach.

I would just as soon not have to run against Jim Edgar. Jim Edgar occupies much of the same space that I'm targeting, and it would have been a more competitive race from my standpoint.

We have brought in Danny and if Jay and Jim are struggling, then we might add one or two more of the younger players. Jimmy Juan is recovering from a foot injury so he is another concern for us as well.
