Jim Quotations | Page 6

Hopefully, Jim has a chance to get out of prison.

I don't perceive this is as much of a problem, but if it became one then we'll deal with it. If Elvis and Jim wanted to use this situation as leverage to be pushed out onto the market, they could. But I have no reason to think that they want that. Is there the potential for them to do something else? Yes. But we've been given no indication that it's heading in a direction they're not comfortable with.

I don't really react too much to what Patrick McEnroe and Jim Courier says. They kind of see what they want to see sometimes. I've had discussions with a few people why I lose matches. They seem to be the expert on my tennis, seeing me play one or two matches a year. I find that a bit humorous.

I don't think Jim has any regrets about the contract with Allan. He deserved it. We felt good about what he delivered as a basketball player, as well as a person. In pro sports, having players who stand for positive things, that's worth something to your business.

I don't think Jim was really happy with the Denver situation. I don't think people understood that he didn't jump ship there. It just didn't work out. But I think that ate at Jim's craw.

He's raised his own children to have that sensibility, to advocate for people who cannot advocate for themselves, ... We continue to be so fortunate that Jim has dedicated his life to the Arc.

He's Jim Thome. He's good. But in the future with him, being left-handed, I've got to do a little bit better.

I don't know if Jim was a major part of that or not. He is one of a small group of real storytellers. He has enormous imagination and ability to write. I'm glad he's coming back. It's going to be good for the show.

I don't know if it's ever been done before. It's strange, but I think Jim made a smart move getting Mac. Mac and Jim get along real well.

He said that eventually there could be some arthritis, ... I think he told me Jim Edmonds (of the baseball Cardinals), and some other guys had some surgery - they just take a little bit of your collarbone off. It's not a big deal, but that's not something you can prevent. But from the MRI and the X-rays, everything's stable right now.

He's an eight-time Gold Glove outfielder; I'm certainly not worried about Jim Edmonds. I'm certainly not worried about him at the plate, I'm certainly not worried about him in the field. He's a huge part of this team, and right in the middle of everything.

The Voting Rights Act, whose 40th anniversary we celebrate this month, has helped minorities elect 81 sitting members of Congress and thousands of local officials. But the rally civil rights groups held in Atlanta earlier this month to push for extension of the act's key temporary provisions downplayed those gains and instead pushed wild claims that some state laws requiring an ID to vote are the functional equivalent of Jim Crow poll taxes,

The restructuring Jim is setting into place is more than the usual shuffling of corporate titles and offices that often accompanies changes at the top. It is a strategic reorganization that focuses our senior-level talent on our top business goals.

Things happen. When you know your team is not doing good, most of the blame goes against your manager. I don't see nothing (bad) Jim Tracy did with the Dodgers. ... I don't see the reason why it happened.

It was his offense this year. He ran it, called it, it was his. Once we got all of our players in place, once we got them healthy, Jim did a good job, and he'll do an even better job next year if we have the chance to retain him.

These numbers aren't a whole lot different than a year ago despite the fact that we've had four candidates taking shots at us for the last year. Jim Gibbons has been able to weather all that.

The separate water foundations, park benches, bathrooms and restaurants of the Jim Crow South startled me. These experiences motivated my lifelong study of the status of African Americans and the sources of improvement in that status.

They went to Jim Giffen to make problems go away. He was the channel.

It's great working with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey. Those guys are really funny.

It's grossly unfair to judge Walter Payton solely on the yards he gains. He is a complete football player, better than Jim Brown, better than O.J. Simpson.

It just shows the kind of innovative free-market thinking Jim brings in.

It looked very much like a conspiracy to put illegal money into Jim Black's campaign.

It wasn't a reaction to the success. It only magnified it. It changed the dollars and cents of it. It changed the amount that Jim deserved. The total compensation package is a significant upgrade.

I remember as a young man seeing these bigger-than-life, strong images of black manhood in the form of Jim Brown and Fred Williamson, Jim Kelly, Billy Dee Williams. All these guys were these alpha males who were smart, attractive. I said, 'Wow, I want to be like that.'

I remember being an art student and going to the Whitney in 1974 to see the exhibition of Jim Nutt, the Chicago imagist. It was then I transferred to school in Chicago, all because of that show.

I remember being real concerned about the music and singing -- that's something we were both concerned about -- and Jim said if people want to hear Johnny Cash, they can get a Johnny Cash record, he's made a few.

Apparently the impact took Jim off his feet and turned him upside down and he landed head-first on the asphalt.

Any race I put him in he gives me 110%. There's not a race that Jim gave away this year.

Anything that a crony of Alex might say is highly suspect. Alex has a deep hatred for Jim Petro. I think Alex is behind this effort.

All the tips will go to Friends of Jim and Julie.

The first thing I want to do is congratulate Jim Wooldridge and his players. They won at Kansas, they were good enough to beat Texas and they were good enough to beat Oklahoma.

The foundation appreciates the many years of service Jim Snyder provided as director, ... He leaves a legacy of preserving history for future generations to enjoy. The foundation is in debt to Jim's sacrifices and hard work.

The Fox years have accelerated the process . . . because there's an animus for Fox as well as for me, ... It's intellectually lazy to attack me at this point. I've been parodied by four decades of Saturday Night Live: Who's going to beat Jim Carrey? Just run with the lemmings and put down Geraldo.

You've got to give Jim Skipper some credit when you write about us. The job he's done in keeping our running game afloat under such adverse circumstances is beyond belief.

The heyday was Reconstruction, really. And then, starting about 1890, Arkansas imposed statutes that forced black people out of public office and made it impossible to vote -- Jim Crow laws -- and I just started to be amazed.

The guy who has stood out as being special is Howard. You don't walk in and just replace Jim Thome, but you can't possibly do any better than he has.

The injustices endured by black Americans at the hands of their own government have no parallel in our history, not only during the period of slavery but also in the Jim Crow era that followed.

A History of Violence does not qualify for certification under the tax-credit system, and does not qualify for certification under the broadcast system, and can't get a CRTC number. If we started being more subjective about the nominations, the whole debate every year would be where do you draw the line? You'd end up with a system where anything a Canadian does anywhere counts as Canadian. We could have Jim Carrey movies up for best picture.

The final was tight, ... Jim Yates did a great job. He ran great all weekend, he has the same car I have, a brand-new GTO, and he has to be feeling pretty good about his right now too.

The first Big East meeting I went to there was P.J. Carlesimo (Seton Hall), John Thompson (Georgetown), Louie Carnesecca (St. John's), Rick Pitino (Providence), Jim Boeheim, Jimmy O'Brien (Boston College) and Rollie Massimino (Villanova). That's what we faced when we came to the Big East. That coaching array alone I think made the Big East very special.

The kid hasn't dropped a ball since he's been here. You see him make the tough grabs and the wild catches that Jim is looking for.

You could have caused Jim Cassidy to come down and then you are looking at a month.

This is a great building. They have a great leader in Jim Pauley and they have a great staff. And from what I saw, it looks like they have the makings of a great student body.

And I think this says more about Harris Miller than it does about Jim Webb on this issue.

(A close game) was expected. (Coach) Jim (Nolan) is one of the best coaches around and always has his team prepared. This is a tough place to play. I knew it was going to be a battle.

Following their presentation I asked Dan Kelly if he would be willing to make a power point presentation on his tax proposal. When Dan was finished both Jim and Scott were very impressed.

It's the one I'm playing at the time. I just like to play all the sports. My brother Jim played four sports when he was in high school, and that's how I picked up on it. It's been a lot of fun. I'm glad I did it.

It's not the Russ Pry party or the Jim McCarthy party.

It's to Jim McCrery's credit that he is willing to help the entire GOP effort across the board.

It?s almost like (former planning director) Jim Eisenhard was the Pied Piper of planners, ... After he left, a lot of the planners followed.

It's more important for (Congressman) Jim Gibbons not to be governor than for Richard Perkins to be governor,

It puts things in perspective. Football is really just a little piece of life, especially when you're talking about a child. It's rough to practice and stay focused, but Jim Caldwell talked to him (Dungy), and he wants us to do well.

At least. But I was there. Jim is my witness." ()

At least we know the scouting report. Jim Foster does a nice job, but at least we're somewhat familiar with them. Now, we got to go back to work and prepare to play another tall center.

It's not just one vote. It's a pattern and behavior of Jim Gerlach.

It's not in the backs of their minds about Jim Wright, it's in the front of their minds, ... They see the parallel here and they want to be sure this doesn't happen.

It's an unfortunate experience for both universities. We accept the apology that Montana has provided and we just have to find a way to move forward. I trust Jim O'Day and I know it wasn't intentional, so we'll just move on.

It really is breathtaking how over the top and how much they overreached with that legislation. Tom Tancredo and Jim Sensenbrenner really kicked over a beehive with the legislation.

As much as I admire Jim Gibson, I don't see how he can get out of the primary, ... The people who will vote in a Democratic primary in the middle of August are not likely to vote for him unless he can establish some real Democratic bona fides.

As much as I admire Jim Gibson, I don't see how he can get out of the primary. The people who will vote in a Democratic primary in the middle of August are not likely to vote for him unless he can establish some real Democratic bona fides.

As we apply the final touches to the policy driven reforms of this legislation, I am grateful that my friend, Jim Gardner could come to Washington and testify as to the real world experiences in my hometown.

Ed was a person whose motivations were pure and honest. He was a person who was tied to local community organizations. He never quite achieved a status of (S.C. civil rights leaders) I.D. Newman or Modjeska Simpkins or Jim Clyburn, but for those of us who knew and saw how he worked, his contributions were just as notable.

Echoing my earlier comments about Windows Vista being a train wreck, Microsoft group vice president Jim Allchin walked into chairman Bill Gates' office in July 2004 and told him that the software project was horribly behind schedule and would never get caught up. 'It's not going to work,' he said, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The problem was that Vista was too complicated, and Microsoft's age-old methods for developing software just weren't going to be good enough,

That just wasn't Jim Haslam. He was always willing to offer an opinion but never forcing you to do something or asserting a given opinion. He knew where that line was and stayed on the right side of it.

As a kid growing up (watching) Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Larry Csonka and all the rest, you always knew about those guys,

There's a long tradition - certainly with country, but in all kinds of genres of music - to have humorous lyrics. Certainly with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention and, if you look at country, Roger Miller and Jim Stafford.

It was good that Jim put this in writing, ... It puts Tony's mind at ease and certainly mine as well.

It was good that Jim put this in writing. It puts Tony's mind at ease and certainly mine as well.

It was back and forth the whole game. I can't say one team played better. (Coach) Jim (Spencer) does a great job with the Lake-Lehman team. He has them playing very, very well.

It's a regrettable incident. I'm sure that these guys support Jim like I do, today and in the future on this thing.

It's just kind of a hodgepodge thing that I did in Toronto and Tampa where I delved into a few different things. It's more to give Jim an idea of what's going on on the streets scouting-wise on both sides of the ledger.

You have to have something a little wrong with you to play defense. You're going in there knowing you are going to have to hit somebody. So you do have to have the mind-set to want to do it. I think we have taken that mind-set to a different level. We understand exactly what Jim wants from us. I think we're trying to take this thing to another level. We are trying to be one of the best, if not the best, defense to play for this organization.

Tony made it clear to myself and Jim that he wished for the team and organization to carry on. We will.

Tony Tavares is very competent. He's doing planning for next year. Jim Bowden has done a wonderful job, and so has Frank. We're very confident we're going to turn over a very healthy and vital franchise to a new owner.

Those two swings were sweet Jim Edmonds swings. A couple of others times, he probably put a little too much into it.

This weekend is about finding out who is playing well and who has come out of the off-season ready to compete. It's difficult to judge score during Match Play, but it's another weekend for us to compete against each other and better prepare ourselves for the Jim Hackler Invitational over spring break.

To ascend to the leader's position, he (Daschle) would need to leap-frog over dozens of more experienced senators and defeat Tennessee Sen. Jim Sasser, who had also announced he would seek the position,

This was a business that was run by people that always wanted to represent Monticello in the best manner. Jim and Jan really were the very heart and soul of Shafer Shores.

We kind of lean on each other, actually. It's very much a give-and-take relationship. ... in a great way. We pick each other's minds all the time. But Jim is like that -- he'll pick his coaches' minds, ask their opinions and thoughts. That's what makes him such a great manager. He affords a lot of responsibility and trust to the guys he works with.

This was pretty encouraging. It's got me ready to compete, the way this whole day went. Jim Tracy has made it clear what he expects from us, what he believes we can do. Now, it's up to us.

It's another sign that Jim is running a smart, well-disciplined, competitive statewide campaign.

It's like playing your dad one-on-one. You spend so much time trying to beat him, and when you finally do, you almost feel bad. Jim meant so much to me, I would not be here if not for him.

It's a pretty important asset, especially with a group like ours. The players want to know what the manager thinks. With Lloyd, you pretty much had to figure that out on your own. Jim Tracy's known to talk to his players, and that makes guys happy.

It's funny, in some of the interviews I've seen that were done for the film, some people say things like, 'Oh, I was never a very big Jim Woodring fan. I've never thought his work was that great.'

It's going to be important, no question about it,'' Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said of the pass rush.

It's always exciting for visitors to walk through the Hall and see the mementos from greats such as Red Grange or Jim Brown alongside those from the stars of today, ... We are so pleased that 'Cadillac' and the Buccaneers have given us a piece of history to help us with our ongoing mission of preserving the complete story of the NFL and pro football.

This is the next stage of our struggle. The first stage was to end slavery. The second stage was to end legal Jim Crow. The third stage was the right to vote. The fourth stage is access to capital.

This is truly a glorious day for West Hartford. Jim will help us go from being a great municipality to an even greater one.

They?re not an ordinary team by any means. (The late) Jim Maloney said that shooters solve all your problems, and they have shooters. Villanova deserves to be No. 1 because no one can shoot the ball as well as the four players they have on the court, not even (No. 1) Duke.

I basically look like a lot of modern Orthodox people you know, but I work on a TV show where I sometimes have to kiss Jim Parsons. That's why I don't take on the title of modern Orthodox, but in terms of ideology and theology I pretty much sound like a liberal modern Orthodox person.

I am very thankful to the France family and as long as Bill France and Jim France and the family will keep me there, I hope to stay there.

I asked Bill Ford and Jim Padilla for not only the best and the brightest leaders in our company, but for the kind of people who can work as one team on one agenda. That agenda is to turn around our North American operation with a team that knows how to win, an innovative product line-up that wins in the marketplace and a brand that has strong emotional appeal. We now have in place an outstanding group of leaders in The Americas, and they already have hit the ground running to turn the business around.

I don't mind saying it. Probably the biggest holdup right now is my assistant coaches. I feel strongly I've got a great staff. If you look at Bryan Stinespring and Bud Foster and Jim Cavanaugh, and I could go on down the line. If you see what they mean to this program, then they need to be paid well.

I cannot think of any other couple who deserves this honor any more than Jim and Arlene,

I am very proud of Jim Leiken. He has worked with me for six years and has been patient enough to learn the ropes. He's now matured into a true chef and is working on building his team.

I don't see any point in tabling the action. My impression is there are three council members who are opposed to the idea of giving the honorary name of Jim Kelly Way to Mason Road. To continue the hearing because they don't want the idea of honoring Jim Kelly to go away is not the right action to take. If they want to pursue the idea of naming something after Jim Kelly, then the other option should be pursued, but not through this proposal ... I understand Mayor Mike Edwards would consider tabling it to wait to see how Sunrise West's subdivision is finally platted, but if there are three people who are opposed to it, then there should be no reason to table it.

I do want to say that I know Jim Letten both personally and by reputation, and he is an extraordinary public servant and a very honorable man.

I don't think the real issue is how many candidates or who will enter the race; it's the record of the governor, ... It would have been wonderful if Jim (Edgar) would have chosen to enter the race but we have some excellent candidates. People have lost confidence in Gov. Blagojevich and his ability to be effective. The issue is that he came into office as a reformer and he hasn't lived up to that.

I don't think we'd ever treat any school like we were treated at Ohio State. Commissioner Jim Delany has instituted a new rule that if you're going to have something like that, you must notify people beforehand, and that's a thing you'd expect as a general courtesy.
