Jim Quotations | Page 4

We couldn't be happier to have an icon like Jim Lee involved with this project. SOE, WBIE and DC will be working together closely on this project and Jim's contributions will be key to bringing the amazing world of DC Comics to life online.

My brother Jim and I saw our father go into the jails and pray with the inmates Sunday after Sunday. He prayed with both blacks and whites. If we ever repeated any slurs we heard on the playground, he'd tell us very softly, "I don't want to hear those words.

My bunker shot was made easier when Jim didn't hit it close. If I just hit it on the green, I win the tournament.

When I first encountered the 'Sigma Force' novels - long before I became friends with Jim Rollins - a bookseller told me that these stories were about 'geeks with guns.' While not entirely accurate, that's pretty close to the mark, and that really speaks to me.

Miami has been my home since we moved the Nasdaq-100 Open to Key Biscayne in 1987 and I relish the opportunity to support important charitable causes such as the Greater Miami Tennis Foundation through events such as the Jim Berry Tennis Classic and the Robin Givens Night with the Stars.

Microsoft is unveiling a major reorganization today to help get Vista out the door. Some of the major changes include the appointing of three new officers to the three major divisions. The Microsoft Platform Products & Services Division will be led by Kevin Johnson and Jim Allchin as co-presidents; Jeff Raikes has been named president of the Microsoft Business Division; and Robbie Bach has been named as president of Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division. In addition, the company said Ray Ozzie will expand his role as chief technical officer by assuming responsibility for helping drive its software-based services strategy and execution across all three divisions.

You always think of the players and coaches and everybody that's been involved. It's going to go down as a Jim Hoover record, but it's really a Walton football-program record ? and I think that means more than an individual record.

We're all very sensitive that Jim has the shortest history with the band. He wants to be somewhat of a free agent. I'm just going to let time dictate how Jim's future evolves.

We're celebrating Jim today. He and his family are human dynamos. By far, this is our best group and where we get the most donations.

We put all the cards out on the table. When we got Chris Chandler, Chris knew he came in to back up Jim Miller. He knew that; he understood it.

Why would I come out and support Jim all week if it meant me probably losing my job? There is not a chance I would want to get rid of Jim.

We believe this movie is going to introduce Jim to a lot of filmgoers who haven't had the opportunity to see his movies before.

We have some extra numbers in positions where we can afford the opportunity to look at some of the European players in this game and rest some of the domestic players. An example of that would be Eddie Pope and Jim Conrad. Based on play over the past month and a half, they would be included in this roster if we were simply basing it on performances. But we have guys we need to look at now.

We've got such a good relationship with Jim and Gladys. He won't say no to progress. He is in his mid-80s but is as receptive to new ideas and as keen to use new technology as any young farmer.

We wanted to honor Jim Rosenblatt by naming this regatta after him.

We have a lot of people waiting to give Steve 'substantial' checks if Jim Edgar doesn't run, and that kind of underscores the need for Gov. Edgar to make a decision in a reasonably short period of time.

We had two players coming back this year in Well and (Ron) Dunn. We were hoping that Jim would be able to step in a give us the outside shooter. Tim is more of a slasher and Ron is an inside player, so he gives us a nice mix. Jim's outside game loosens things up inside for our big guys.

That was the original intent and understanding. Jim came on three years ago with the understanding of working with Flanagan for a period of time that would result in Mike assuming the position of general manager of the ballclub.

The real challenge in going under the belly was a robotics challenge, ... Jim and Wendy, they had probably the most challenging job of all. ... I had to find the gap fillers, and direct Wendy to take me there. ... Getting there was a big deal. Getting them out was not.

The only way I can make a Jim Carrey face is through Novocain at the dentists office.

This program is much more about players than most. Jim came in, immediately got to know so much about each individual player and his family and about their experiences. It's a much more personal approach than most were accustomed to. Within the family, it became a small-college feel.

You don't need to kill Jim Sullivan. Part of Jim Sullivan is already dead. Your verdict ... ensured this man will die in a state prison.

We are grateful for the leadership and vision of Jim Knight and wish him well. Duke Health Raleigh is also very pleased to welcome Doug to our hospital family. He brings a distinguished career in health care along with a vast knowledge of our community.

We played a little funny game waiting because we figured, it was Jim McGee's idea, Jim McGee, our general manager said, 'There's still an hour to go, it's still kind of hot, maybe the wind will die down a bit. We need everything we can get for qualifying.' So we waited it out a bit.

The people are looking for somebody that will clean up the mess. The last thing they're looking for is somebody from the mess. Jim fills that bill.

We were all incredibly frustrated with the way the year has gone, ... If anybody should be blamed, it should be me. I think Jim is a terrific manager. Despite how hard we tried, we couldn't get on the same page.

The real loser in the election tonight was not Jim Leininger but the parents of inner-city children trapped in failing schools who will now have more legislators aligned with teachers unions instead of children who need help.

Who were the guys who helped Jim Brown, Leroy Kelly and Ernie Green do what they did?

When Republicans represent moderate districts, they become less conservative just as Democrats representing conservative districts become less liberal. The least conservative Republican members Mike Fitzpatrick, Jim Gerlach and Curt Weldon all represent suburban Philadelphia districts, where the voters tend to be more moderate.

We like Jim Campbell. We know what he can do and what kind of dimension he brings to us.

When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, Jim sent his private jet for my family. I'll never forget that. I did this because I love Jim Wilkes.

When I was younger, the athletes who motivated me were the ones I saw on TV-Billy Mills, Gerry Lindgren, Prefontaine, Ron Clark of Australia, Tom O'Hara, Jim Ryan.

There has never been any ego or resentment. Jim has always been gracious and shared his career with everybody else in the group.

There have been some longstanding disagreements between the two. In 2003, Gov. Guinn felt it was the right thing to do to support the tax increase and Jim Gibbons felt the other way, that it was the wrong thing to do. They are certainly on different sides of the fence.

We thought he was a good college player. Jim Harbaugh was his coach down there, so we had a little bit of insight. He's a big kid that had pretty good numbers at that level and we wanted to give him a shot.

We shouldn't have to wait for state or federal indictments to get rid of Jim Black.

To the extent that Jim Padilla was in charge of operations, he certainly deserves some of the blame.

To this day, images of apes and monkeys are used as a way to depict black people. It's what it will always mean. You can't just dress monkeys up like people and not conjure Jim Crow.

Too many people had an off-day to think it was just a one-off. I have been in jobs where you have to win to save your job. Jim Jefferies has responsibilities to win but I am fortunate enough to have the resources to win and play attractive and exciting football.

We were basically one and the same, although Jim was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect.

We wanted very much to keep him alive. Jim wanted to learn very much about the appellate process and (have) another day in court.

When he first started - Jim Henson, who created Bid Bird and Oscar - he said Big Bird was just a big, goofy guy. And it was - a script came along and I said, 'I think Big Bird would be much more useful to the show if he were a child learning all the things we were teaching in the show.' And so he didn't know the alphabet, even, for instance.

We're going to endure, I guess. I think we owe that to Jim to be there.

There is no question that Jim Francis is the right man for the job because he will be able to step in on day one and be ready to help us with the many challenges facing our community. Jim has worked closely with Barry Feldman over the past 20 years and has a proven financial management record and an excellent working relationship with the financial community.

We believe we're doing things the right way and in Steve McClaren we believe we have the manager who can deliver. There are good reasons why he was taken on by Jim Smith and Sir Alex Ferguson and why he's Sven-Goran Eriksson's No 2.

We're expecting Jim to be a leader on the track and off the track.

We're going to be very supportive of Jim's looking and hopefully being able to procure a head coaching job. I think Jim would be outstanding. If indeed that doesn't happen, Jim will be back next year. Some of the speculation I've seen is just that, because Jim and I have already had discussions about some of the things we need to do.

We are pleased to welcome these two accomplished attorneys to the firm. Bill and Jim both have impressive track records handling the increasingly complex regulatory and litigation issues that are critical to our client base. I look forward to their contributions to the continued growth and success of our energy practice.

The people who were involved in this, it's still pretty clear in their minds. Jim Sullivan is one of the big ones.

There are some facilities that Architecture Plus, and Jim Woodrum in particular, drew that are not ergonomically designed to run as efficiently as others,

There are comedians that I like. I think a lot of it, you just figure out on your own. It's definitely one of those things that you get good at by doing it a lot. But I like Jim Gaffigan. Patton Oswalt. Janeane Garofalo.

We believe that Ronnie Earle is a politically vindictive district attorney, ... He's pursuing Jim Ellis because he works for Tom DeLay.

Big Jim did a great job going against their big players. And Cobb did a great job for us off the bench. We came out with a lot of intensity.

At that time we didn't really have the talent to be able to line up and compete with many teams. Stanford had recently had some success throwing the ball with Jim Plunkett (1970 Heisman Trophy winner) at quarterback. I figured with most defenses built to focus on stopping the run, we would try and pass the ball. Once we became successful and began to recruit better players, I just decided to stick with the offense.

With Jim being traded, it's a relief because you don't have to answer those questions any more. At the same time, you wish him the best of luck and hope he comes back and has the same kind of year he's been having.

Every position is competitive. Whether you have Jim Kelly or Bruce Smith, if there is a better player that can take those jobs from those guys, then God bless us, we've got a heck of a football team in the making.

Everybody knows no one is going to outwork Jim Marshall. He's already traveling and building relationships in every county in the new and old districts.

At the end of the day, I think everybody needs to be on the same page to move forward. We decided we needed to make a change and Jim decided to move on as well.

It would have been great to be back with them. But Pittsburgh's time seems to be on the rise, too, with some good players and some very good young pitchers, ... Jim wants to bring in as many of our L.A. staff as possible, with the idea that as a group we had commitment and synergy and had players playing up to their potential as much as possible.

It wouldn't be unusual for dad to call on Jim and Steve to play if his regular musicians couldn't show.

The top players are playing better. Mike Weir , Jim Furyk , Ernie Els , Vijay Singh, myself... Phil Mickelson and David Duval were the exceptions, but overall, most of the guys you'd expect to challenge Tiger stepped up and challenged him. Were there classic duels with Tiger down the stretch this year? No, not really. Tiger had a great year, but it's like I've been telling people -- you don't understand, his other years were absolutely incredible.

We need to get Jim (Parsons) the ball more than what we did last week, and we need to block for him. ... And we need to score some points.

As soon as Pat (Van Horn) left my office, I took it back to Jim

I spoke with a descendent named Jim Brace, who lives in St. Albans. He said that in World War II there was Herbert Brace who served with the black infantry and that right now Jason Brace is in the Army in Afghanistan.

The sparring has gone very well. It made sense that Brian should work out with Jim Rock because he's on the same bill,

The successful growth of our 225 seat center in Manila and our future expansion plans increase the need for an on-site account management presence to ensure responsive account management and client satisfaction at all times. Jim Garwood will work in tandem with the Dublin, Ohio-based Client Services team to oversee client relationships from his base in Manila, a move designed to give our clients account management accessibility around the clock for sales and service programs run in Manila.

The story of Jim Braddock continues to be so incredibly stirring because it is a tale that reminds us of just how remarkable human endurance and the power of love can be,

The Sixties and Seventies were the best times in the NFL, ... I covered Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, Jurgenson, Unitas, Star and those great Packers teams. It was more fun than work.

When you go from speaker to lieutenant governor, it's kind of a letdown, frankly, ... But I worked with (then-Gov.) Jim Thompson and learned a lot from him.

When we hired Scotty Bowman, everything changed. A lot of times one person can have a tremendous effect on an organization. You know, Jim addressed right away you've got to have all your veterans on board. Ironically, the first thing Scotty told me was getting your veterans on the same page. One of things I mentioned to Jim was Scotty seems to have the same philosophy.

an insult to Jim Gibbons and an insult to a lot of people across the state who have elected him in overwhelming numbers to five terms in Congress.

I've spoken directly to Jim Merchant, the head of the teachers union, and told him to expect tough bargaining if I'm elected to the School Board.

I've thought of being a point guard in the NBA. I've thought of a number of things that won't happen. But I never thought of this, ... You look at someone who belongs on television, they tend not to be a twitching. When you're watching, they're solid, like they belong there. ... An animated character can be like me. Look at Jim Lehrer, and look at his hair. There's no way I can compete with that.

I've told Jim that our commitment to him is for as long as he was alive, which I hope is a long time. We want Jimmy to conduct as much as he is able and willing to do so here. I think the Met is the luckiest opera house in the world to have him as its music director and I hope that he will be at the center of its artistic life for the foreseeable future. It would be a terrible blow for me and my plans if he was not here.

I've not met Elvis or Jim Morrison, but Jimi Hendrix, Johnny and I used to jam at a club in New York called The Scene where the house band was the Young Rascals, so I did get to meet Jimi.

The wrestling world and the state of South Dakota can be very proud of what Jim has accomplished in his life; I know I am. There aren't many jobs in the sports world as powerful as the one he has. And to have someone in that job who comes from a wrestling background is great. He is dealing with some of the most influential business and sports leaders in the world on a weekly basis.

They absolutely did the right thing, ... The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

The whole thing was conspired by Jim Hood.

There will not be a shred of physical evidence, not one shred of physical evidence that links Jim Sullivan to this crime.

It was tough under these conditions for Jim and the team to win games. But this business is about wins and losses.

It was the same time that the Indians signed Kenny Lofton, Albert Belle, Carlos Baerga, Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez to long-term contracts.

What are they, 6-9 in the conference? They could easily be 9-6 or 10-5. They are a good basketball team. Jim (Wooldridge) has done a great job with them and it will be a very difficult game for us.

To me, it was kind of embarrassing. Even Cleveland players were shaking their heads. Cleveland people don't know how much Jim Thome meant to this town. You don't boo a class act. That's OK, we'll clap for him in Chicago.

We should be concerned when somebody's politicking and campaigning gets in the way of doing their job of governing - and it's certainly not the first time it's happened with Jim Davis.

You don't work with a guy that long and don't become very good friends. He really understood me and I understood him. That's probably why we got along so well. We'll miss Jim and his personality and his intellect.

With decades of experience in network management, Sean, Gary and Jim are intimately familiar with the old way of thinking: a secure network equals a secure environment. That approach simply won't get the job done in a world where 70 percent of the vulnerabilities reside in the applications running across those networks. These executives work extremely well together and provide an outstanding balance of industry knowledge, business and sales expertise. They are helping Security Innovation break new ground in the market, extend our offerings more broadly and fuel our steady upward momentum.

We all thought it was very funny and very well done. (But) Jim has no intention of leaving cartooning and becoming a rap star.

Everything unfolded the way we thought it would and the way we hoped it would. This was a home run. The Jim Dandy was the kind of performance that propelled Flower Alley to the next level.

Everything happened very quickly in my career. It was a very great honour for me to break Jim Clark's record (as youngest champion),

Between Hubie (Brown) and Jim (Boeheim), they told me I had 12 seconds,

This new position will enable Jim to participate directly at a policy-making level and provide the other Directors with the benefit of his considerable technological insight and expertise as we guide our company through this dynamic period of transition and growth.

We are very fortunate to be able to draw upon Jim Adamson's many talents and experiences at this time of transition at Kmart. Now that the company has taken the difficult, but necessary actions to stabilize its finances and operations, he is the right executive to move Kmart forward.

Both Jim and I are interested in the limits of conventional decision-making. The idea that an expert will give you the best outcome -- we think that's inadequate. You need a whole palate of different strategies. We're critiquing the same narrow ideology.

Providence is a fundamentally sound team. Coach Jim Martin was here to scout us. He probably didn't see anything different than what he's seen of us before. And we know what they do. It's just going to come down to execution.

On Tuesday, September 13, 2005, Microsoft announced to its employees and that it was reorganizing the company into a simpler organization in which executives much further down the chain would have direct decision-making capabilities, allowing the company to move more quickly in this ever-changing market and compete better with companies such as Google and Apple. The reorg was announced publicly a week later, with Microsoft also announcing that group vice president Jim Allchin would retire once Windows Vista ships in late 2006. Succeeding Allchin is Kevin Johnson, who will oversee the new Platform Products & Services division. Jeff Raikes, the head honcho of the unit previous responsible for Microsoft Office, was named president of the Microsoft Business Division. And Xbox's Robbie Bach was named president of Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division, which will combine the Xbox with Microsoft's other hardware products,

The thing about Jim Thome is that no matter where you go in baseball, nobody ever says anything negative about him. When you make a lot of money in this game, everyone wants to criticize you and tear you down. But, you don't see that with Jim Thome.

I waited and waited for a year and a half for them to announce who won, ... Jim Jeffords' office had to get involved. But, once they did select me, things worked a lot more smoothly.

Without Jim's mentorship, there's no way I would have completed my Ph.D. here, ... It was fair to say that I lacked direction, so Jim kind of took me under his wing.

Two great issues of our time are addressed by Jim Wallis, and his thought-provoking answers make powerful reading for anyone interested in social change. Jim Wallis challenges us to create a society that both addresses injustice and stresses personal responsibility, and his call for a global covenant through which rich countries meet their obligations to the poor will have a resonance throughout the world.

Famous Joe asked Jerry and me how we were set for money. That was about 9 o'clock at night... He came back with $500 and a bottle of Jim Beam for us.
