Outright Quotations

Public relations is at best promotion or manipulation, at worst evasion and outright deception. What it is never about is a free flow of information.

Legitimate institutions historically have been defenseless in the face of outright fraud.

I don't think I'm alarmist. I'm more disappointed by the euphemisms in some instances than outright bigotry. Now, to me, you walk around with a Klan hat on or you've got a swastika on you arm, you just look like a dope, you know what I mean?

When our bodies are sick and people extend their sympathy, bring us soup, offer up solutions. When our minds are sick, people tend to shy away from you, be afraid, or call you outright crazy.

If we go out and win outright the rest of the way through, we put ourselves in a good position. But we have one game, and that's Thursday. Then after that we have one game, and it's Saturday.

Rising medical costs are the principle driver behind higher auto insurance prices in the U.S. and a significant share of that pressure is due to abuse and in some cases outright fraud.

Winning the district championship outright is up to us. It's always good to control your own destiny, and it'll be good to be at home for two games over spring break.

The reform mandate is probably not going to be as strong as it would have been under an outright victory by Merkel.

We're more or less waiting and seeing, ... Pfizer's dividend is definitely safe. It's the biggest drug company with good cash flow.

They're going to partner up with biotech companies or buy them outright as a way to improve their (product) pipelines.

We reject outright that we discriminate on the basis of age,

When you talk to a Republican, many of them just outright say, 'Yeah. Climate change isn't real,' without assessing the facts, and it's a big problem. It's not a red or blue issue, it's a green issue... Not because of facts or science but because of emotion.

We still think the tough talk from the ECB will not amount to outright action.

Uncertainty and fear abound in this market, and thus outright short positions remain highly at risk.

At the end of the day, if you are talking about a blatant fraud, registration is not gong to prevent it. What it does do is put (managers) on the map. Investment advisers are subject to regular inspections of their internal controls. So by registering, they do have an obligation to make sure their internal controls are much more solid than they would be if they were not registered. It doesn't prevent outright fraud, but it does add a deterrent.

I've been outright lied to by public works. If they lied to me once, they'll lie to me again.

While the MCV return equals the second-best ever monthly result for this segment achieved in May 2005, it was only 40 units below the outright record of 1 216 units set in June, and sustains the tremendous growth spurt being exhibited by this vehicle classification.

In Providence, the noise scene is very anti-rock. But we don't want to outright reject rock clubs. There's a different set of influences in New York. (DFA) is a pop music label, and we're kind of an anomaly on the label (but) ... we can take advantage of the different resources available here.

Church's new 'Spicy Chicken' campaign is a case in point. Taking first-hand insights from Church's multicultural customer base, we found that the kind of 'spicy' this segment was longing for was not an outright 'burn-your-mouth' hot fare. They were looking for something flavorful, with a kick.

As hardware doubles its density every 18-24 months, courtesy of Moore's Law, and as software eats the world, technology will replace a broad swathe of jobs outright - from burger-flippers to diagnosticians - and atomize many others from full-time positions into gigs performed by many fungible workers. Tech, in short, will eat jobs.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

The current CFIUS process was designed to deal with this on a case-by-case basis because outright prohibitions would not be good for the US.

The Hall of Fame is so far beyond anything you can dream about that to say that I had a dream about this would be an outright lie,

It really doesn't matter whether there has been an attempt at an outright ban or merely an attempt to influence these properties. We're still talking about action that is taken under the color of the law and is therefore governmental action that is, frankly, censorship.

That is an outright lie. I will be more than happy to send you the contract to prove what he said is a lie.

I can show you e-mails from my attorney and Frank Warren's attorney that said the contract would not be completed until this week,

This outright dismissal of what is termed 'disgruntled former board members' is completely inappropriate. They all had issues, and there were common threads through those issues.
