Positions Quotations

Public officials insult our intelligence and our goodwill when they paint rosy pictures about budgets, jobs, bipartisanship, and transparency, and alter their positions on issues simply to keep collecting their paycheck by never disagreeing or disappointing anyone.

I've been subject to how many security clearance procedures and I must say as irritating as some people may find them I think they are absolutely essential to making sure that people who work in sensitive positions in the national security field in our government are entirely loyal to the United States.

I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles.

When I visited Syrian special forces along the front lines, I was given extraordinary amounts of detail. They gave me the code numbers for the various positions they've got, told me where the rebels were - about 800 meters away in a forest. I met soldiers who had been wounded but were still serving.

Everything is expressed through relationship. Colour can exist only through other colours, dimension through other dimensions, position through other positions that oppose them. That is why I regard relationship as the principal thing.

What seems strange is that Obama elicits such extreme dislike when, in fact, he is an exemplary family man, and his policy positions would have made him a conventional liberal Republican not that long ago.

'Yes' is a far more potent word than 'no' in American politics. By adopting the positions which animate the political agenda for the other side, one can disarm them and leave them sputtering with nothing to say.

My positions on gun safety have remained consistent over the years, and have been on my website for years. Whether I'm in a tough re-election race, an easy re-election race, or if it isn't an election year, whether there's a high-profile tragedy in the news or otherwise, my position remains unchanged and on my website.

It's important to ask candidates about their beliefs, in part because politicians frequently exploit religious faith - often with the idea that voters will be more likely to unthinkingly accept certain political positions so long as they arise from religious belief.

What we prefer to do is operate our investment bank in a way that is like what investment banks used to be, which is a middle man - someone who is here to match people who need capital with people who have capital - and not position ourselves at the center of that by taking big positions on a trading stance.

Research conducted throughout the world shows gender balance in top positions contributes to improved competitiveness and better business performance.

We have people working for us full-time because they were forced to retire at 65. I know that I never want to stop working, and I am glad that I can offer positions to others who feel the same way.

I think anyone about to leave one job not surprisingly would use their knowledge, their experience, their skills drawn from their previous positions to try and earn a living in the future. That's what happens in all interviews.

When the Americans advance, we harass and retreat, fire from new positions and then retreat again. If the attacking force is too big, we call for support.

We go through the whole season working on next season's car and developing the car and making sure we fit in the car and all that sort of stuff. And we obviously give ideas of what we would hope next year's car would have even if it's small things like buttons on the steering wheel and different positions and whatever.

I'm a relatively shy person, but I love being challenged and putting myself in positions that are scary.

When people in positions of trust mislead us - either recklessly, negligently or intentionally - that impacts the republic.

Some people are in positions of power, and when incentives go haywire, we are all human and it's easy to make mistakes. I am not saying everybody is Bernie Madoff.

If you start to catalog Hillary Clinton's positions between now and 2008, we're going to have a lot of conversations because there are a lot of places for her to go.

In 1968, the situation at Harvard was not one of which we can be proud. In that year, the proportion of minority persons in salary and wage positions was approximately 3 per cent. Virtually no minority workers were employed on Harvard construction projects.

I don't feel political most of the time. Sometimes I'm placed in positions because no one else will go there.

These guys were the best. They were the best at their positions and made playing the game easier. And at the same time it made it so much more enjoyable.

I have no illusions that my work can rouse the masses to create change, because literature simply doesn't have that power anymore in my country, if it does anywhere. But I do hope that it can be read by those who are in positions to create change, or that it can at least be part of that dialogue.

I'm always aware of trying to put my body in different positions to test it and strengthen muscles that you don't get when you do dumbbell press or pulls or weight-type exercises.

Women are in positions of power the most radical of activists could only dream of in 1960.

It's a sense in Minnesota that we need to get back to common sense. We need to get back to taking sensible looks at positions and understanding the proper role of government.

I think that people like Bloomberg, they're complete thugs. No question about it. But on the other hand, it must be said that they are politically savvy. They don't get into those positions of power - in the case of Bloomberg, both economic and political power - by being anybody's fool.

Conspiracy theories feed on opacity, and that's a longtime problem with short selling. Large long positions must be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in public filings, but not large short positions.

We have, for whatever the reason, disturbed people... who sometimes do terrible, violent things, and sometimes those of us who serve in elected positions are the target.

I'm sure it's more difficult for women to make movies, especially because, in general, the kind of movies women want to make aren't necessarily going to be blockbusters. But you know, there are so few women in so many positions of power.

The no-secrets era of social media makes one consider the built-in risk factor of nominating high-testosterone men to positions of power at all. Everyone is under too much scrutiny now to take a chance on candidates who suddenly blow up into a comic meme, a punchline, a ribald hashtag.

I teach at Caltech and oversee a research laboratory there. In general, I find that the majority of young people are excited by the prospects of research, but they soon discover that in the current market, many doctorate-level scientists are holding temporary positions or are unemployed.

I would always treat my attacking game as the more natural part. With defence, you have to get yourself in positions to understand the game and understand situations and that might not be as natural a thing.

Barack Obama has brought glamour back to American politics - not the faux glamour-by-association of campaigning with movie stars or sailing with the Kennedys, but the real thing. The candidate himself is glamorous. Audiences project onto him the personal qualities and political positions they want in a president.

You can see the absence of women in governing bodies from Congress to state legislators, on corporate boards, in tenured positions in academia, and as forepeople in factories.

Discipleship does not come from positions of prominence, wealth, or advanced learning. The disciples of Jesus came from all walks of life.

My teammates have put me in all different kinds of positions to score goals, and I can't say it enough, and I really through and through believe it in my heart that I'm only as good as my teammates allow me to be.

People without children do have the freedom to do things that caring parents with dependent kids can't - to work long hours, to travel frequently, to relocate, and to do all these things on short notice if necessary. In return, they can achieve positions that devoted parents can't.

What we need to be able to do is count all human experience. So I would like to count the secretarial positions as good training places to take over the jobs of the bosses.

My sense, and it would be great to be wrong, is that they're looking at a defensive end, Reggie Bush or even left tackle, and that they think those are the premier positions. Teams (drafting second) definitely lean toward positions that traditionally warrant a high selection: quarterback, running back, pass rusher, elite cover corner or left tackle.

Position by position this could be one of the best team's I've coached. We don't necessarily have one superstar to depend on. We have three or four players on the bench that could be starting somewhere else because there are not enough positions on the field.

On the critical issues of job creation, homeland security and national security, and who shares our values, they have adopted positions that may help them win their party's nomination, but will be rejected by the broader electorate next November.

On one hand, he seems more palatable to Wall Street than Dean, in that his positions on trade and taxes are more moderate.

I wish to announce I am resigning from UMNO and all positions in the National Front,

I guess I kind of expected that would be the result. There's a history in Wisconsin Rapids of electing these positions and that's apparently the way they are going to stay, which is fine by me.

I would really like to know a little bit more about what his vision is for the future of this country and his people. Some facts and some real policies rather than just a lot of almost throw-away positions they take to change their image.

We had a very thorough exchange of the different positions of the EU-3 and the new government of Iran,

My guys did what they're supposed to do, ... They held their positions like I asked them to. We just took care of business.

Luckily we all can play a lot of positions or we'd be in trouble right now. But we can't send the commissioner a letter and say, 'We've got some people hurt. Let us play Wednesday.' The game is going to go on.

Shuffling of batting order will depend on strategy and other conditions but the post-mortem of the Test series shows that we will have to play the key players in the positions suited to them.

One of the turning points in the look of the Guardian is when we decided Logan Thackeray would be a Guardian as opposed to a Warrior. Logan's own protective nature and the fact that the humans have been knocked back into defensive positions informed a lot of what the Guardian became.

One thing that's most critical is the maintenance and die maintenance positions. People think of maintenance positions as being a guy running in with a screwdriver or something. That's not the case when you have equipment that's state of the art.

One important finding is the emphasis on business skills. There has always been a need for that, but now employers want IT workers to have industry knowledge and business skills from the start. Computer science is very technical by design, but two of the more popular areas in demand are systems analysis and systems design, both of which are customer-facing positions that require user interaction and communications skills.

One of our concerns as a group is that they don't necessarily hear enough back from the community on how we hear and perceive the sometimes tortured and hair-splitting positions they try to take. We are tired of being seen as the embarrassment to the party.

One of our main priorities over the past two months has been to find new positions for our team members. We have hosted two job fairs with over 25 employers participating in each. We have also helped team members contact other community resources, such as Nevada Job Connect, and provided one-to-one counseling when needed. As of today, about 90 percent of our team members have found new positions.

My goal is to give our guys who performed well at lower positions last weekend the challenge of higher flights this weekend. Our upper and lower classmen will be rotated high and low throughout the weekend. We want to expose them to them to the challenge of playing high, but we also want to continue to build their confidence.

Memphis really does dribble-drive well. We ended up switching four positions at the end of the game. We fought hard all game, but in the end Memphis had too much firepower.

Poor, miserable old bat. What he ought to be saying is how nice it is to have women around the office. He's never seen the point of women in positions of seniority. There's no hope for him.

Plus, (MGM Mirage) is enjoying corporate efficiencies as part of the merger -- eliminating duplicate positions and integrating the different brands into the MGM (Mirage) operation.

Positions harden, people get more frustrated and they have less to lose and people are already turning to violence.

Positions like global supply coordinator are being created.

Now that the market has had a first quarter that will make pretty big headlines, that will cause a lot of investors to exit cash positions and exit some bond positions and move that money into stocks. Investors don't want to be left out.

Nunez gives us some versatility in that he can play three infield positions and is a switch-hitter.

Nynex has had an ongoing volunteer retirement program and some folks may slide over to those positions as people accept the buyouts.

Now we're really seeing even the byproduct of the style that he's comfortable with and the confidence that comes from winning. We're achieving the success as a team that comes from 23 guys paying attention to team defense. We're not taking anything from what Brian has remarkably been able to accomplish, because it's extraordinarily hard to get a shutout, period, let alone to think of four in a row. But it really is an entire roster sacrificing anything and everything needed to get in front of pucks or deflect pucks or controlling positions defensively to be aware of taking away scoring opportunities.

Now, we have certain positions that are rich in experience, but across the board it's the most inexperienced team that we've had,

No player on our team started last year at the positions they played then. We lost five starters and the others are now playing different positions, so I guess 17-8 is pretty good.

People were going down. But we have guys that stepped up and came in and played different positions and played well at that position.

Obviously there's an extreme deference to his own opinion. But I don't think you will find a situation where he is operating independent of administration policy or positions on anything.

Obviously we are pleased to add Stephen to our team. He's a proven contributor who was a major contributor to San Antonio's championship team last season and he has the versatility to play both wing positions for us.

Right now, his main strength is he can play all three infield positions and two outfield positions. That's what's going to make him valuable to our team. If somebody needs a day off or goes down, he can slide right in there, pick up some at-bats and not miss a beat.

My freshman year I played all point guard. After that I played four different positions because players got sick or injured. Someone did tell me once they saw me playing center my sophomore year.

I have dealt with him and I know him well. He has his positions and his views but we will deal with him without any preconceptions.

I don't know what his personal views are, but I know that he has ruled on pro-life cases four times and he has ruled against pro-life positions three times. And the fourth was a split decision, ... If you look at the paper trail, it is all negative.

I don't know that many companies the size of GE whose earnings are up 16-17 percent right now, ... It's really because of cost-cutting actions that really positions this company to do very nicely for what could be 20 percent earnings growth in 2002.

If we had the revenue those positions would be filled. It does not affect our services.

Leadership at the building level is critical for pulling the team together. The principal pulls the team together and implements the positions of the school.

Leadership in the commando positions has been turned over to Badr. And new recruits are mostly Badr.

We made a decision back in December. We all wish we could make this decision today on your whole team because maybe some other positions would change also. Ryan has come back from his injury and has performed very well, but we're very comfortable with the three guys we've named and we're going to roll with them.

We need as many (freshmen) that are able to play. Realistically, we're probably going to play at least half of that class. Some positions we needed to get better at. Others we needed to improve our depth.

We're confident that Floridians support our positions and that's been reflected in our fund raising.

Licensing our WiFi product to Symbian was an important milestone for us. It provides a real endorsement that our technology is the de-facto standard for the future. From a commercial perspective it positions us well to deal with the handset manufactures, as they will know that they are protected for the future if they buy from us today.

Lewis is a great passer, very quick and he's good in the air. He can play all three positions in back.

Since nobody knows yet which of these positions will prove truer, most major vendors are trying to cover all the eventualities. They want to make sure they have a product for every type of consumer who walks into a retail store.

Menendez has the experience and leadership positions in Washington already. Menendez in the Senate is also helpful to the national Democratic Party, who want someone strong in there.

Maurice is the kind of player we think is going to fit in with our team and our culture. Maurice brings a really strong competitive streak with him and can play two positions for us.

McCain has always been a conservative, anti-abortion, pro-military Republican who took more moderate positions on a few key issues. If he runs, he could well win the White House, shutting out the Democrats for the third straight election. And that is rallying the pundits of the left.

Moving our headquarters to the Denver area will facilitate lower occupancy rates, provide greater administrative efficiencies, enhance recruiting opportunities and allow more centralized access to all of the company's properties. It also better positions the company for future strategic growth.

Shane has been our horse all year long, everything we run goes through him. At times, we have used Shane at all five positions out on the floor. He's just so fundamentally sound and versatile wherever you put him.

Most of these people have done well because of their connection with DeLay, and DeLay has actively tried to place them in key positions knowing that it would help him and the Republicans in Congress, and it has.

She knows all five positions on the floor and we will put her wherever we need her. There were times we had her on the point, had her in the post and had her on the wing.

She has held some very prestigious positions and brings a wealth of experience to our university and to the College of Business Administration in particular, ... She has the bearing of one who has handled positions of high visibility and demand with excellence. There are not many people that have the breadth of experience that she has.

She did a great job on the setup. As a team (in this game), we did a great job. We had a lot of different people playing in different positions to try some other things and everybody did a great job.

Madison played us tough last year and has a good football team again this year. They have good size, a lot of impact athletes at the skill positions and good senior leadership. They're playing with a lot of confidence right now and for good reason." ()

MacKenzie is a player with the right attitude and the natural ability to go after every ball and to be a spark on the field. We feel MacKenzie can be a very strong player for us because she has potential in several different positions on the field.

Shareholders are becoming aware that when they do the right thing, it's also the right business decision as well. Most corporations understand that they need to serve gays and lesbians, and they realize that extremist positions have no place in the business community.

Many positions do have to go unfilled. And when you don't find a teacher, programs often die out.

Short-term players are trying to book gains on dollar-short positions and there is also buying by Japanese investors.

Short-term positions have been squared up a bit ... but now is not the time for a sustained yen rally.
