Louis Quotations | Page 2

Playing .500 is the first step. Eventually, we're trying to get to where we can contend with St. Louis for the division. I'd rather have a winning record. We're tired of being labeled a loser for the last 12 years. We want to get past that. We don't want anybody calling us a loser again.

Pinnacle Entertainment has been working diligently to refine our plans in downtown St. Louis and create a truly unique entertainment destination. This purchase is a necessary step that will enable us to master plan a new entertainment district and community near the famed Gateway Arch.

People I know purchased the St. Louis Blues. It's a purchase in principle. They don't own the team yet. The sale has to be ratified by the league. For me to speculate what I might do with the St. Louis Blues, well, they don't even own the team yet. I don't have anything to tell anybody.

I saw Louis Armstrong perform at Albany State College on Radio Springs Road. He was probably the first famous individual I saw in concert. Unfortunately, I never did get to meet him.

I wrote a song called walls with my husband, Louis Nelson, who designed the new Korean Veteran's Memorial Wall on the Mall in Washington, D.C.

Jimmy has an incredible upside to his game, because he has great pace with a knack for scoring goals. Jimmy scores goals that only pure finishers can score. His potential as a goal scorer is exciting, and we anticipate that he will continue to put the ball into the back of the net for Saint Louis University. Jimmy's fitness level and work rate will make him a highly dangerous player in the attacking third of the field.

I think there are some things that if you're from St. Louis you have an inferiority complex about. We don't have the great residential condominiums of downtown Chicago or we don't have the number of Fortune 500 companies as we used to have. But there are those things we think we do really, really well, like the Cardinals and KMOX and I think we take great pride in those things.

I'm hoping to get in another game before the playoffs start, but every day it seems to be getting better so hopefully I'm ready then. It's just not getting better as quick as I thought it would. I skated in St. Louis on Tuesday, but I haven't been back on the ice since then.

I think Louis is a tremendous candidate. He's had a great run for the last seven years as the president of Pratt & Whitney.

I think the world of Louis Freeh, ... We've had discussions, disagreements and arguments. Some people equivocate about what they really think. Louis Freeh is a person I could count on to tell me exactly what he thought.

Our team let penalties and turnovers get to us a little bit. We had a couple drive killers with turnovers and we had a couple foolish penalties and you can't do things like that and beat a fine team like Saint Louis on the road.

It hadn't been returned, so she went to East St. Louis to look for it on her own. When she found it, she opened the passenger side of the vehicle and was trying to get the keys out of it. The driver panicked and was trying to get away.

I think we still have to be patient. We are going to keep the same process. Most teams that aren't the Yankees, Boston, St. Louis and Atlanta are hoping to hang around .500, then pull out those extra five games or so that leave them for fighting for first place. For the first time in years we have a little money to spend. We feel there are some players out there that can help us.

I was born in West Plains, and we lived here till I was one. Then my dad needed to get a job, so we moved to the St. Louis area. I lived in St. Charles, on the Missouri River, till I was 15.

It' better it happened this way. I'll get a chance to say thanks to the fans of St. Louis later, but as a player you don't want that to be a distraction to your team and your team goals that year. I don't know that I'd want that so I'm not disappointed the way my career ended.

The arrival of the Pope to the birthplace of the first cathedral west of the Mississippi was truly an honor and Americans poured into St. Louis to participate in prayer services, a rally and celebration mass.

We know that St. Louis is a baseball town and the city loves its Cardinals. It wouldn't be right if the fans - the people who support the Cardinals year after year - were not a part of the voting process.

I was real excited when I heard St. Louis was going to call my name.

The All-Star Classic is a great event to showcase our league and we are excited that we can bring it to the St. Louis region. We are so fortunate that we have one of the nation's best pediatric hospitals in our community, so anytime there is an opportunity, we want to support their efforts.

That's unbelievable. That's what St. Louis has done so well the last couple of years. They seem to have played real well in our division.

The problem is, it's very hard to have all three. Only the cities that win these battles for development accomplish this. And when you have as many cities as St. Louis County does, it's just not realistic that everyone's going to be a winner.

We're all trying to pick it up so Louis doesn't have to stress all the time. It could be nerve-wracking, just knowing you have to get it done every night. With us helping, every little bit he gives us is a benefit.

We will review this request to determine which branch of government is best-suited to ensure people in the St. Louis region are protected from sex offenders.

We've said it all along that we think St. Louis is a great market for a Major League Soccer team. The good news is we have a number of individuals that have come to us in recent months with interest in the St. Louis area and looked at feasibility studies and potential sites and have come to meet with us.

The one thing what makes St. Louis what it is are the fans and the people. Not only do you hear it from hockey players, but you hear it from baseball players - it's a great place to play sports. With very sincere fans ... all they ask for is an honest effort. To give them what you've got. And you can be visible in St. Louis and people are very appreciative. All they do is wish you the best.

We are happy to have Intel join the World Congress program. Leaders like Louis are accustomed to making strategic decisions concerning uses of technology in healthcare and will help the Congress open up opportunities for better IT implementation and access across these fields.

We are pieces of a puzzle, and each piece fits. When one piece doesn't work, we suffer as a team. The thing I appreciate about this club is that guys like Louis understand that. Louis' play has obviously been outstanding. We wouldn't be here without that.

We pressed them and stepped up a lot higher. St. Louis struggled to put their combinations together. Going into this game, I didn't think we were a good pressing team, but the guys showed me a lot of character. I learned something about our team more than anything that we can be a team that steps up and denies a lot of space for the opponent to play. In hindsight, had we put two halves together like the second half, we may have gotten the win.

We discussed buying a defender. The view was the priority at that time given the way we were playing was that we needed support up front and that is why we bought Louis Saha.

We are pleased that Isle of Capri has chosen Missouri as its new headquarters and bringing more than 150 high-paying jobs to the St. Louis area while also creating new economic opportunities for the community of Creve Coeur.

We are recruiting in Detroit and getting resumes from Detroit, as we are in St. Louis and Atlanta. But everyone we're looking for will not have automotive experience. Some people will come from outside the industry. We'll also hire some recent college graduates.

The decision was made after I had a very professional meeting with Louis on Tuesday, when we brought him in to review the season. Following the meeting, we decided not to offer him an extension, that the program had issues we needed to deal with as we move forward in the new Big East Conference. After the meeting, I got a sense of where we stood and there were things we couldn't agree on.

The decision was mine. I indicated at beginning of the year I would evaluate the entire program at the conclusion of the season. ... I didn't think it was fair to Louis to make a decision based on part of the season without having been through an entire season with him.

The fact that we have 44 to 50 alumni that still live here and still love St. Louis ... I want those guys involved with us, working for us.

the real relationship to actually be in St. Louis and start to really make the music with people.

We came out and did our thing. I came out feeling good. Louis was talking to me and keeping me pumped during the game.

We consider St. Louis in-state. You start at home and then you go as far as you have to go.

We have great confidence in the St. Louis County market.

We have great confidence in the St. Louis County market. Our architects and designers have developed a unique 'look' for this property, which is likely to become a travel destination for the entire region. We expect to break ground in Lemay in approximately one month.

We're worried about when people hear this, they'll say, 'Oh, it's St. Louis city, Look how far they've come.

We have musicians coming from Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans to play in the band.

Would've preferred to get one more point (in a 3-2 shootout loss to St. Louis Monday) but I think coming off a tough month -- nine of 13 on the road -- I think that we did a good job and stuck with it.

When I was a kid growing up in Cleveland, I believed - completely, wholeheartedly, without reservation or pause - that the Cleveland Indians were named to honor a Native American ballplayer named Louis Sockalexis, who played for Cleveland in the late 19th Century.

There are some guys I know for a fact, like Louis C.K., who always talk about how not-great of an actor he is, and he's terrific on his show. But I know Louis would play a fantastic dramatic role in something, too. He just needs somebody to grab him and say, 'Come in here and do this.'

We started Big Muddy Records because we felt that there was a lot of good music happening in St. Louis that needed exposure and support.

This year in the United States Senate I have faced many legislative challenges, but nothing could be more daunting than the challenges faced by Boston going head-to-head with the likes of this year's St. Louis Cardinals.

East St. Louis is a very physical team and they have good athletes. I think they shot the ball a little better today than they normally do, and I do know this, I know they shot better at the free-throw line than they normally do.

East St. Louis played hard tonight. They played well defensively with their pressure and they made some hard shots. You have to give them credit, they played a good game.

To identify one reason would be unfair to Louis. It's not a matter of wins and losses. There were problematic things throughout the entire program. This is not an indication of how I feel about Louis Orr. There is not a finer, more genuine and honest man than Louis Orr. I have a lot of respect for him.

TWA is pleased to see St. Louis included as a potential new gateway to Asia.

When I talked to (St. Louis in August), he asked me what we were going to do with Andy,

Baseball is a significant part of the American landscape, as are stuffed animals, and that is why this partnership with the St. Louis Cardinals is such a fit. The Cardinals are our hometown team and we have been working with them for many years. Having a store in the new stadium was the logical next step in our relationship.

Based on a petition being received by this organization, our International Committee will meet in St. Louis on Jan. 13 and 14 after each of the disciplines to choose the Olympic team for that discipline. After the ladies' program on the 14th, they will make those type of decisions based on the information that they have.

Every state every year will have some number of cases -- maybe it will just be a handful of cases, but it will never really just fade away completely like St. Louis encephalitis does, ... Even in the inter-epidemic period, there will always be some West Nile activity somewhere in the country.

I see St. Louis has 95 (wins). The White Sox 90. And we feel like we won only 10 games this year, ... Some people treat my team like a piece of (garbage). And we're not.

The whole key to the goal was Miller's pass. It was a beautiful pass and opened up the field. This weekend shows how closely bunched the top 25 and even the top 50 teams in the nation are in the men's soccer game. St. Louis played a great game against us and a great game against IU (a 1-1 tie on Friday and here they are with a 1-2-1 record so far.

The whole team ran well, but with this big of a group of schools, it was not easy to make the top eight. We ran some of our fastest times to get in the top 12 to 15 teams. Some of the best Kansas City and St. Louis schools were there in addition to the best athletes from mid-Missouri. This meet was a major showcase of state-wide track talent for this early in the season.

We're thrilled to have a small role in the growing excitement over the new St. Louis ballpark. Our IP services will streamline daily operations for the Cardinals and will help to ensure top-notch service for Cardinals fans.

The symptoms teachers are experiencing are real; these teachers are ill. The BUT dismisses that nonsense because I don't understand how cancer, asthma, rhinitis or conjunctivitis falls into that category. We understand that it is a phenomenon, but it cannot be attributed to what is happening at Louis Lynch School.

The talks are going pretty good with Houston. Nothing has been written down or anything like that, but the fact I'm here and made the trip speaks enough for itself and their willingness to get it done. I don't think it will be a problem on that end. Really, it's up to St. Louis at this point. If nothing more, this puts a little more pressure on those guys.

The Taylor family is one of the great assets of St. Louis, ... We just wouldn't have the kind of community we have in St. Louis if we didn't have people who had done well economically and made generous gifts.

The St. Louis Cathedral is a symbol that really unites all of our city, and this is what we're going to need to move forward,

We've played Carbondale and East St. Louis, and if they played 10 times, they might go 5-5. When you look at the teams that are left, East St. Louis is playing as well as anybody.

When you look at every studio in the '20s or '30s, from Louis B. Mayer to Jack Warner, you see people who started with one plan and quickly shifted gears to adapt to a changing world. One of my favorite stories is that Walt Disney mortgaged his house to make 'Snow White.' He saw there was a real opportunity to change the world.

I've not met Louis yet, but I'm anxious to do so.

I've said it many times in the past and I continue to maintain that Martin St. Louis is the 'heart and soul' of our hockey team. Dating all the way back to the summer of 2004, there was never a moment when we were not firmly committed as an organization to getting Marty signed long-term.

The (X Prize) positioned St. Louis as being right in the center of innovation and entrepreneurial activity,

These are up-and-coming acts from the greater St. Louis area.

It was a little frustrating to keep giving up the lead. After getting beat (4-0) by St. Louis last night they came out and I thought they played pretty well. But we played better.

What upsets me most is that our children are not protected. Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School is right across the street from the victim's house. You have 6- and 7-year-old kids walking to school. I don't know if I'm going to let my kids walk to school now. When a violent crime occurs, all the schools should be notified.

very pleased that eight months of discussions with Minister Louis Farrakhan and march organizers have begun to pay off.

We see each other during the summer all the time, we're good friends. He had some really, really nice things to say about St. Louis and about to the organization and the fans. He really liked it here.

U.S. Bank is taking action to be on the offensive as well as defensive. St. Louis has become a very competitive market. It makes sense to spend money to build brand awareness.

We had a good talk ... they want to win. I'm just glad I know that I'm going to be in St. Louis next year. Whatever happens after that, happens. But I hope we're in the playoffs. That's my No. 1 concern.

We've had the pleasure of being part of the growth of the greater St. Louis and St. Charles counties over the last 20 years. The power of the Prudential name and brand, and the reputation it upholds, is what led us to our affiliation. Along with the brand, we found a wealth of resources in marketing, technology and personnel recruitment, all of which have added immense value to our operations.

Purcell is a composer who had a formative influence on British music - even The Who now cite him as an influence. There's an intense, dirty harmony, but there's a Louis XIV kind of elan and style, too. He had the melancholy DNA of our national folk heritage.

After all of these interviews, it was clear to us that coach Linehan should be the next coach of the St. Louis Rams.

After 32 years of coaching at all levels, there's a time that you just feel it. I don't know if I'm done coaching. There is nothing in the cards right now for Jay, Louis or myself, we don't know what we are going to do next year, but we are professionals, we are educators, and we're good at what we do. The one thing it hasn't done is translate into enough wins.

But now you have the Jesse Jacksons and the Louis Farrakhans and Al Sharptons coming down and inciting people to blame the Republicans in general and the president in particular.

I've always loved clothes, especially handbags and shoes. I'd rather save my money on clothing and wear crap, but have the handbags and shoes. I used to buy a Ferragamo or Louis Vuitton bag every job that I got. Now I have a child, and we pay for private school, so I've had to scale back!

That population increase, small as it is, is one little indicator that one would look at when looking at the St. Louis metro area spreading out,

You're talking about two of the best players in the St. Louis area, not just the metro-east, when you speak of Dalton and Friedman. I thought we did a nice job of limiting their opportunities. We've done a great job on defense the entire year, and we just continue to do that.

All along, Louis Farrakhan and his minions have suggested that this march will be different, that it will embrace diversity in a show of solidarity and strength. Now we see what he means. Already the sideshows surrounding this event are being stacked with noted racists and anti-Semites on the extremist fringe. One can only wonder what this portends for the main event itself.

You would never rule anything out that way, but I have to tell you, our total attention and focus is very much on establishing the St. Louis Blues in the National Hockey League.

You would think with the larger population and the airport, there would be cases in the St. Louis area. It's probably only a matter of time.

A lot of people thought I didn't like St. Louis. I loved it. Don't get me wrong. I loved Oakland. But the year I had in St. Louis - with the fans, the city and the baseball atmosphere - was so much fun. What could be better than that? It's a great team moving into a new stadium. I can't say enough about the situation.

Farther west temperatures will be even higher. In St. Louis temperatures are expected to rise to 80 degrees tomorrow. They have a shot at the record, which is 81 degrees.

Flying will give us a gain of some five weeks versus shipping, and is the only way to get GBR 78 there in time for the sailing team to practice on two new generation boats and tune up the second boat prior to the start of the Louis Vuitton Cup,

Emotionally it's probably a little tougher to swallow (because of the suddenness). We've lost games before in the ninth inning. We'll have it well behind us when we get to St. Louis for Game 6.

There's a few of them people who say, 'Keep him locked up, he's guilty, he's guilty.' You know, but I just ignore them, because they have no idea who Louis really is. Who is he? He's a shy kid who wouldn't hurt anybody. He wouldn't conspire to kill a mass amount of people. He wouldn't conspire to hurt anybody.

The results are there in St. Louis. We're not gonna light up Baseball America, but if we continue sending St. Louis our players, then we're successful.

This is 'St. Louis Tickle' I'm playing. This is a loud old banjo. They don't make them like this anymore. Here. Feel that.

I know that whenever we play a Big 12 opponent, we need to take advantage of it and we know they hit the ball pretty well. We also know they have given up some runs. It's a rivalry, we have a lot of St. Louis kids and so we want to go out there and show well. We will be ready to go on Wednesday.

I'm told it was the best between St. Louis and San Francisco. It was something to get an invitation to that ball.
