Open Quotations | Page 7

My door is always open to any member who wishes to build consensus on reducing unnecessary spending. My preference is to consider any proposal in a thoughtful, deliberate manner rather than reading about it in the newspaper.

My door is open for that. It'd be great to have an eight- or nine-team district. If Lopez and Memorial do go up, I hope we get those schools in here with us.

My door is open for this guy. I really welcome anybody who wants to help participate and help make their neighborhoods better.

My dorm is way too chaotic to work in. It would make my life a lot easier if Snell would stay open for a few more hours. Boston University actually accepted me last year. I'm sure that if I'd gone there the library hours would be a better fit for me. It would just be a lot easier to get my work done.

My dream is to open for other people,

My daughter watches the news, ... I think kids today are pretty well-informed about what's going on in the world. Hopefully, they'll be a generation that's going to be more understanding, open and willing to cooperate to solve the problems we have.

My first instinct when I have the puck and I have the shot is to shoot at that open spot (of the net). I get a lot of my goals that way, but also score on rebounds as well.

On issue after issue, the Bush Administration has put the interests of its corporate cronies ahead of protecting the safety and security of America's working families. The Republican culture of corruption continues to have real costs for America's working families. Instead of protecting their corporate cronies, Republicans in Washington should join Democrats in fighting to put the safety of the American people first by restoring honest leadership and open government, enforcing workplace safety rules, and ending the outsourcing of our national security.

Online advertising is a whole new world, and there are some opportunists out there who take advantage of loosely based arrangements. It's a problem for the whole industry. We have very open ears and very open minds. If someone comes up with a solution we're not doing we will certainly consider it.

No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. At the same time, that does not mean we just flat out open our borders. We can't do that.

No open borders. It will create a bad attitude. Those with respect for Hazel Park Schools will be chased away.

No other document was provided to Scott and we have been assured that Adm. Fargo will meet with Scott with an open mind,

Maybe the risks are too high. I'm open to that discussion.

My father was very interested in music, and when he and his brothers were young, they had a singing group that used to open for Sam Cooke. There was always music in our house, but there wasn't much art around.

Police were forced to open fire in alarm. In the chaos, three villagers died.

People who care about it will know (they can opt out), but the vast majority of people are quite open to it and don't care.

No doubt, much of the joy of a great romance is the moment when these stoic heroes crack open and reveal themselves to their heroines - the only women strong enough to match them.

Nobody's making it easy and that's the way we want it. Every game from here on in, they're going to have to be better and it's going to be another measuring stick ... The door isn't open that wide and it's getting tighter every game.

Nobody wants state parks to be open, no one thinks state parks should be open for hunting.

No charges have been placed in this incident at this time because it is still an open investigation, an ongoing investigation.

Neil Young does throw in a major seven chord here and there, so if you're a new guitar player learning Neil Young songs, you'll learn some seven chords, and some different positions. Nothing too complicated, just enough to kind of open up your knowledge a little bit.

Next season is another story and maybe then we can open up that possibility.

Now, you can put incense in a bottle and open a door and call it a spa. But back then La Costa had no competition. It had a mystique.

Now that we're in a more open economy, and there's a lot more opportunity to get goods from overseas, if manufacturers are operating at full capacity, there's less likelihood that somebody will bid up prices at a domestic producer if they can get it somewhere else.

Now, that might not necessarily mean that there are 40 open slots. The beds are spread throughout the men's, women's and family wings. So it just depends on who comes in.

Obviously, for Roger, I think every draw feels open to him. But, for me, there's no such thing as an open draw.

Obviously, if the CBA is settled, there would be a lot more teams interested in making a deal. His value would increase. But either way, a guy like him will be attractive on the open market.

Obviously my preference is to open the batting but I just hope I'm not seen by people as purely an opener. When I play overseas I rarely open the batting. I batted number four for Yorkshire for most of the season and, in one-day games, I often move into number three ... if the selectors can't find a place for me as an opener, that's fine, I'll take any opportunity in the order.

Obviously, somebody will be ahead to start with, based on fall performance and so forth, but it probably will be an open horse race here in the spring.

Now that the source code is available as open source, it means that you can use, read and modify the software in line with your own preferences. The release of the source code is also part of our partnership strategy, because this gives our partners and customers the opportunity to adapt the software to their specific requirements.

Now the zone is four feet bigger, so you really can't go too far to the point, because that is going to open up a seam. So we were looking for that fine line.

Now we are not going to be able to ignore 'don't open this e-mail'. Now I'm going to have to investigate every single hoax. That affects the response time because we are going to have to look at all of these things.

Now we'll start focusing on the match against Ajax. It will be an open and tough match and we will have to fight until the end to get through the round.

Now we're poised to begin the next chapter of Disney history when Hong Kong Disneyland will officially open to the world.

Now we are ready to open our Middlesex League season. This worked out well and this is where I thought we would be.

No party or event is without a reason. This is how we foster new relationships, open doors, and launch new ideas that create business opportunities, investments, and jobs in the U.S. and Spain.

People will start to believe in us. We're going to open some eyes.

Phase four, if we can get it open by the end of the year, is going to be great.

People were looking forward to it. But I'm sure they'll understand. We always go there, from open to close both days, and they always have pretty big-name artists. But it's probably the right thing to do.

Obviously, the sooner the better. But if it means we have to wait to get Pavel in our lineup I'll wait. At this stage of the game I don't think it's going to have any impact as to our eventual roster. We're not going to be able to go out and find a player that's close to Pavel. If you look at the open market, there's lots of players out there that we think could be third- or fourth-line players in the NHL. But he's (Datsyuk) a top six forward.

Obviously, we are big fans of open-wheel racing. The door is open for IRL to have conversations with us with regard to coming back to California Speedway. But, in my mind, it's a business decision. We need to see what the sponsorship situation is going to be.

Obviously, we are happy to open our arms and our homes and our shelters to people in need. But there are going to be mid-term and long-term costs associated with this. I promise you Texas will not be forgotten. We will not be silent.

NATO reaffirmed its open door policy and intends to offer maximum help in the implementation of the necessary reforms ... A timetable, I can't give you.

Rich is our offensive leader. He handles the ball behind the net for us and looks for the open man.

Richland worked the ball well and shot the ball well, especially early. They were patient, and you can't afford to give them an open look.

Riggs got us off to a great start. The first half we were really clicking on all cylinders. The kids did an excellent job of making the extra pass and finding the open man. It was pretty basketball.

Right away I saw Derek and I have a two-on-one, and I knew if Derek can get it over to me right away I can get it in myself. I think the puck kind of rolled on Derek, and he had to settle it down, and once he passed it to me I think the goalie kind of read it, so I knew if I hold onto it for a split second and just give it right back Derek would have a pretty good chance on an open net.

Retrofitting can be simple things like taking a cafeteria, adding bolts to the top and bottom of the door so it doesn't rattle open during a hurricane; providing some type of security screen on the outside so it will do two things: keep the bad guys out, but provide missile-impact resistance when we have a hurricane.

Right now, everything is wide open and it is a blank piece of paper.

Right now I am telling the girls it is about the decision making: Don't panic, look up, run with your heads up so you can see what is going on. And tonight we saw the rewards of passing to the open player and getting it to the open player.

Right now it's a great feeling because our team chemistry is great. It is a selfless team and everybody is open and ready to learn.

Right now it's an open race, so it really just depends on who can woo the hearts and minds of the party regulars. If I were running for governor, I would be out looking for as many delegates as I could at the county level.

Right now, it's open season on him. Most Republicans view him as a liability.

My first option wasn't there so I had to find somebody. (Rice) was open so I hit him. It was a three-step route and I had to get out of there. I didn't have much time even with a three-step drop.

My friend told me to call the coach because they needed a shooter. I ended up going down there and played some in open gym and got a spot on the team.

My fundamental belief there is that we need to be careful as we do our business to ensure that we respect the principles of democracy, which include being open and honest with the press.

My favourite festival experience is a show at midnight with the moon blazing and a crowd full of open hearts ready to dance.

My fear is a lot of people are burying their heads in the sand, and they don't even open their statements. Clearly, it's been a sobering time.

My job here is to open the gateway, I guess, for more competition to come in (on the PGA Tour), ... My standards are what's been set for these new guys to come in.

I don't know. He just came out, pushed the ball, found open guys and made some nifty passes.

I have extended a hand of friendship to Pakistan, our doors are open to everyone who wants to talk to me calmly,

I have been received with open arms and many expressions of friendship.

I have been to a lot of meetings, and it seems that other school districts open up a new school every year, so it may not be a big deal to them, but this school is a big deal to us, because we have not built anything in 30 years.

I got the ball, was open and had to take it myself and hope for the best. My form was all right. I just prayed that it would go in.

If these designated groups build their next generation of healthcare and education standards on web services, electronic forms, and open document standards, and they do so within rules of maintaining compatibility and interoperability, then IBM will not assert any of our patents on implementers of these new healthcare and education standards.

If the Senate were to reject the treaty, then it would be highly publicized worldwide. It would be an open excuse for countries like India and Pakistan to continue nuclear testing which I think is very undesirable, destabilizing that area of the world,

I didn't do a good job against Denver. So the last two days I worked on my stroke. Coach (Byron Scott) told me to continue to take my shots. I had a lot of open 3-pointers and some open drives to the basket.

I'd love it if doors open for me in America. There are directors I'd love to work with there. I'll always do theater, but I've got to pay the mortgage.

I'd love to open a restaurant that changes every month. One month it would be a mom and bar spaghetti-and-meatball, Red Sox place, and the next it would be a British pub, and everyone gets in a fight.

I'd love to open up sessions at a Boys and Girls Club or something where kids can learn nutrition and how to exercise in a fun way. Especially for young guys. I'd love to be an inspiration.

I'd love to see a seniors event at U.S. Open in singles, not just hit-and-giggle doubles.

I'd like to see it get cool and stay cool. Next month into early March is critical. If the buds open and then we get a freeze, that would be really rough.

I'd like to see what changes he will make. It appears he's a little more open with the community.

I'd like to go Cup racing and Busch racing full time, but I've got to start somewhere and get my feet wet. The biggest question mark people have for me is, can I drive one of these cars? I'm doing one of each type of venue, hopefully try to do the best I can and maybe open up some doors.

I dont create controversies. Theyre there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.

I don't foresee us being open seven days a week anytime soon.

I didn't want to go after him until the fifth or sixth round, after I had taken away some of his strength, ... But I had to open up a lot sooner than I wanted.

I didn't want to think about it because I had confidence in taking that shot. I knew I was wide open but I knew it was early in the shot clock so I knew I had to make it. But once it went down it was a big sigh of relief.

I did play a practice round with (Nicklaus) at the British Open and I played really, really well that day, which is useful to that point.

I don't know about Andy's confidence. He's practiced very well, so it's more a mental thing than anything else. He'll have to fight his way through it if he wants to play at this level. The backup job was open in training camp and Andy won it, but that doesn't mean it won't change throughout the year.

I don't know a cop in the world who would not open a file like this,

I divide my time between all the mud and open space in Surrey and the social life and work in London, particularly Chelsea, which still has the same village feel that it had in the swinging Sixties.

I didn't go through the routine of singing in small clubs and doing open mics and working so hard the way a lot of people do and did. It was just an overnight kind of thing.

I didn't like either one of those goals. I've seen this happen before, the floodgates open so I stepped in to try and stop it.

I have had to open the doors (to) others for their help and support, because my priority right now is to take care of them (the children) emotionally and to see they are getting their education. My wife was passionate about the children's education.

If we continue to play like this, it will open things up in the passing game. And if we can maintain this balance, it will make us a hard team to handle.

If we could sustain the effort we got in the second half for an entire game, we'd be all right. In the final 16 we played our butts off, but tonight Hyde hit their open looks and free throws, and we didn't box out well enough the entire game to limit their second chances.

If this is the only opportunity that the candidates will have to debate one another, it needs to be in a setting that is open to the public. I don't understand why Mick has refused to accept the League of Woman's Voters debate.

If this lasts, the IPO window will open widely enough that more software companies, not just optical technology, will again be participating.

If this action is not sufficient, it will be obvious, and we will respond appropriately, ... The public has the right to know what the City Council is talking about so they can have input and observe ... decision making. That's the purpose of the open meetings law.

If they want a target on me, that's fine, ... It will leave different guys open on offense. There's no question about Selvin. We know what he can do. It's just getting him back in gear, getting him back on the field.

I don't know whether to keep silent and let people think I am ignorant or open my mouth and release all doubts.

I don't know where you were, but we've had more hearings, open and closed, on this one subject than any other issue that has been before this committee,

I don't know what I am going to have to do to get this team charged up, but I am willing to do anything. ... I'll run around a track, bench press, whatever you want me to do. I am open for any ideas.

I don't know what it is about the open road that makes it so appealing. Maybe it's because when you're headed somewhere, you don't have to be where you've already been.

I don't know that parents are aware of just how open our school has been, ... We're just lucky that we don't live in a crime-ridden area.

I don't know that that date's known yet but it will happen in an open session.

I don't know what will be in the new regulations package. We gathered information from the public last week from Central Valley anglers in Yuba City and will conduct another open session this week.

I discovered when things were changing that one must always remain open to taking risks and chances in society.

I did some stuff that I can really use in a game, like the way I'm posting up. I can read how the defender is playing me. Whatever I'm doing in the post, I can get an open shot. Also, on my shooting, I can use more legs, and those are small things that can help you a lot.
