Scheme Quotations

When I was asked to compose a score for... 'Palo Alto,' I first thought to myself, 'What is the house that these characters would want to live in?' I wanted to paint a picture and color scheme that I could work around. I gently apply different daubs to see what fits to match the color I have in mind with these characters.

What is it but a cunningly devised scheme to take from one State and to give to another - to replenish the treasury of some of the States from the pockets of the people of the others; in reality, to make them support the governments and pay the debts of other States as well as their own?

The retirement age needs to be raised. A portion of Social Security ought to be privatized, if not all. And there probably needs to be some means testing. It's a Ponzi scheme that's not sustainable.

My parents divorced about the same time the movie 'The Parent Trap' came out, about two twins at camp who scheme to get their parents back together. I had that same fantasy.

I wish I could have a game like that every game, I would end up with like 50 sacks, but teams scheme against you and sometimes you won't be as proficient as you were in a certain game. It just depends on the team playing against you and its personnel.

I would question whether he'll play. You know, I've seen miracles before, so I'm not going to say for sure he won't. He was running around there last night, I thought, interestingly well, but not in the scheme of things. I don't know if he'll dress or not.

We had a whole scheme set up to double-team him. He goes out of the game, it certainly changes the complexion of the game for their team.

Phase two of the emissions trading scheme would result in further hikes in energy costs at a time when firms are enduring the highest gas and electricity prices for more than a decade.

There are tons of examples of U.K. and European mistakes. A classic one is pensions. That's obviously not an America-specific thing. The British and European economies are suffering under the weight of what is to come. The next great Ponzi scheme after Madoff is probably pensions.

He just didn't catch on with the scheme early on.

Getting beat on the boards seemed to be a very significant part of this game. You have to give them a lot of credit for pounding the glass. It seemed like every time we've played them the last couple of years, they've been much better prepared on the boards than we have. We got beat by a team that did the things they need to do within their scheme in order to win the game tonight.

I feel like we're doing a better job of pressuring the ball and at the same time we have a better recognition of what we're doing overall in terms of our scheme and our scouting report.

I feel real really good. I can call any scheme in practice and have confidence that they'll execute it. If you have a gun with six bullets, you shoot all of them. Last year, I had a gun with no bullets so now I feel totally different. It's exciting.

I am by principle concerned that our country's future will be jeopardized because such an education scheme will further divide the country. Utah's schools are good; they are not struggling like the Washington D. C. schools are where vouchers were recently enacted. The recent Florida Supreme Court ruling indicates serious constitutional questions if the Legislature adopts a program where the state even indirectly supports a second private educational system.

I don't think it will take long. We understand what the game plan is every game going out. The transition more than anything will probably be defensively, because everybody played different defensive schemes, and our scheme is probably one of the toughest schemes in the NBA because we work a lot harder.

I don't think we're going to see a different scheme or any major changes. They run their offense. Last week, I think we saw a team that had to change things around a bit. Not this week. And has started before.

He values merit-based pay systems that emphasize and recognize individual achievement and rewards it, rather than a collective, regulatory scheme that does not.

He was a linebacker at one point and is still learning the nuances of our scheme and what it takes to be as consistent as possible. He has a tremendous work ethic.

If the government is prepared to top up your income even if you opt out of the state scheme then you may as well take up this lump sum. It will not cost you anything to do so.

If the county has some form of income tax like the city, then it would be a much more likely option. In the grand scheme of a $2.6-billion budget, and you realize the county only collects $52 million in property taxes, we have to be very careful evaluating an option like this.

He has to learn the defensive scheme of the pro game.

He was always in the scheme of things and we had only been trying others against Sri Lanka, which is not a very strong Test team.

He's healthy and playing a lot faster and more aggressive than he was last year, ... He looks as if he's enjoying the scheme that they're running.

Hopefully we can rush the passer a little more and not drop (into coverage) as much. The one down point of last year was everyone saying that we couldn't get enough sacks or pressure on the quarterback. Hopefully with a little fine tuning to our scheme we'll have a little more opportunities to rush the passer instead of dropping.

He's been in positions with teams that run a scheme that I like. I've always had a lot of respect for it. It's specific. It follows a teaching progression, I like that. You play fast in it, I like all those things. I trust Perry. It's time for him. I think he'll do a tremendous job.

He's fitting in really well. He's fitting into the scheme surprisingly well. He's a quick learner; he learned the defense really quick from what I hear. Personality-wise, he's great.

I feel that we were so long overdue a correction after the euphoria around the New Year. In the big scheme of things the only thing that worries me is that if those investors who use fundamentals to evaluate stocks change their view, then we could have seen a top that will last for some time.

He made a couple of great plays at the end. Great players are going to make great plays. In the grand scheme of the game, the third quarter was our undoing.

He looks good. He's got great energy. We think his size and his aggressiveness, his motor, are going to fit nicely in our scheme of things here.

He does all the intangible stuff. That's his biggest role in the grand scheme of things - drawing charges, getting rebounds, setting picks, diving for loose balls, putting a body on people.

There is no evidence to show, and it is not credible to argue, that Mr. Sevan, who spent forty years with the U.N. and ran a $64 billion program, would jeopardize his career for $160,000, trust a person he had never met (Abdelnour) to carry out the scheme and report the proceeds on his U.N. financial disclosure forms.

marketing scheme designed to make last year's unpopular tax cut more palatable.

That comes with that communication and the defensive scheme we've been working on all year. It's just been great team defense. If we communicate and do the things coach wants us to do, we win.

Stephen Sondheim was there to coach us. It was wonderful. He'd say surprising things: I shouldn't enunciate too fully when I sang 'Not Getting Married Today' from 'Company' because it would throw the rhyme scheme off. Usually you are encouraged to enunciate as clearly as possible. But his tips would make a song more effective.

Success is a scary concept because it assumes something kind of final. In the grand scheme of life, I don't think there is some ultimate success.

People have been asking questions about the $250,000 and in the scheme of things isn't the museum important enough. But question isn't about the amount of money but where it's coming from. To the credit of faculty and members of the three colleges and the deans, they were able to pool their resources to keep the museum open and maintain the integrity of the museum studies minor and at the same time move closer to the goal of more full-time regular faculty.

I will confirm that the color scheme (black, orange, white and blue) will remain the same. It's changing to reflect the new name.

I think both teams did what they were supposed to do. They played good man defense, and we had our defensive scheme we worked on.

I think by far and away he was way ahead of the pack at the time he went down. But the numbers he has now, they still spell out pretty good in the big scheme of things if you want to dissect numbers and break them down. Everybody else had an opportunity of three months to really put some distance between themselves and him and elevate themselves, but it didn't happen.

I think what I would prefer to look at as a team is that they've only given up 28 sacks on the year. They know how to protect the passer and they know how to scheme to protect the passer.

Last year I changed our vision of what we were going to recruit in preparation of what I knew we were going to do. That's why we didn't take a quarterback last year. The guys that we could have taken would have have fit into this mobility scheme that we have. And these guys, they fit that.

I think, therefore, that the usual scheme is so far followed that the drama represents first the rise of the hero, and then his fall.

Our hurry-up offense and our tempo are outstanding, ... We've just got to use it a little bit more. I'm pretty sure they'll come up with some type of scheme in order to get the two-minute drill or the hurry-up offense going. Once we start doing that and we mature as an offense, man, the sky's the limit.

I think that makes a lot of sense. For the type of scheme they play, he would be perfect for what they need.

It is naive to assume any over-the-counter scheme for the morning-after pill would be effective. A 17-year-old could buy it for a 13-year-old girl. Or worse yet, a pedophile could purchase this drug for his victims.

Last year I thought it was all about me actually. I thought it was all about the judges and that we could do what we wanted. But it's really not, in the big scheme of things.

I think these guys will get better, ... They faced a scheme that gives everybody problems. It's a more traditional defense this week, but we're facing a better set of athletes in UAB.

I think these guys will get better. They faced a scheme that gives everybody problems. It's a more traditional defense this week, but we're facing a better set of athletes in UAB.

I think they are making substantial changes, but the strategy is not risk free, ... One of the central problems with Sara Lee's valuation is this is a company where a number of their brands are relatively small in the scheme of things. Investors are concerned that small brands are more vulnerable over time.

RESPLENDENT, adj. Like a simple American citizen beduking himself in his lodge, or affirming his consequence in the Scheme of Things as an elemental unit of a parade.The Knights of Dominion were so resplendent in their velvet- and-gold that their masters would hardly have known them. --"Chronicles of the Classes

Our scheme guaranteeing free travel for elderly and disabled people on local bus services continues to be hugely successful. Nevertheless, we are conscious it cannot benefit people who are not able to use even low-floor buses because of the nature or severity of their disability. This project will not only immediately improve access for these passengers, it will also allow us to test the extent to which community transport is able to meet the transport needs of persons who cannot use conventional buses.

(Our) statisticians (said) that if we told them the teen pregnancy rate and the child poverty rate of a city, they could almost predict where (it) would finish in the overall scheme of things. That is, (those two indicators largely) drove the results.

Overall, it doesn't change the picture at all, ... There are still widespread signs of easing price pressures?in the big scheme of things, since prices are generally easing, a little bit to the upside doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter that he hasn't been able to give us the hands-on coaching that he's done in the past. This is his scheme and coach has become our inspiration. We've dedicated ourselves to work as well together as he and Coach Marshall have through all of this.

I think our scheme is very difficult. It seems like we do a lot of different things and, if you don't play us that often and you have never seen anything that we've done, it's going to be tough.
