E. Helm Quotations

I wish I could answer that. That thing is in the House and the Senate. In the House, it's dead. In the Senate, they worry me. There are some weird people over there.

I wouldn't say this was our best defensive effort. But the press still was effective, particularly in the second quarter. I thought they started getting frustrated with it. They started passing it out of bounds a lot.

My father-in-law had an anvil and he gave it to me. I noticed it had a name on it. I thought that was interesting, so I tried to get all the different kinds I could.

One of the things that makes America so great is that anyone can run for public office, and it's up to the voters to decide who will best serve them. I wish Mr. Weld well.

One of the things we don't need to overlook is they won the conference championship last year. That (performance against Midland College) doesn't necessarily need to be that big of a surprise.

Obviously I have a vested interest in what's going on up here, and I can't be happier than how things have gone. The repair work has been very smooth and very quick and we are ready to come back.

Mom, I just couldn't think of a better way to spend your birthday. Sorry I'm not with you, though.

Madam Ambassador, it's been a joy to work with you while you were at the United Nations.

Sean probably won't practice for two days. We're going to try to nurse him and get him ready to go for Thursday. We felt this was important to try to go with him, and he fought. When he went out of the game, we couldn't get a four man to try to run our offense. And if you don't run your offense, you're not going to beat a team as good as Midland.

I can imagine no better qualified person to serve as the first U.S. secretary of state in the 21st century,

From an offensive standpoint, (Hall and Gates) really helped us off the bench.

If both sides will sit down and be realistic about it, there's a very good chance that there could be a treaty.

I got a call and came from Myrtle Beach. I drove an eleven-hour trip in nine hours, but it was still too slow.

Giving permanent normal trade relations to the government of China will destroy an important lever that we now have and we have had to influence Chinese behavior, ... We are tossing it aside.

I don't want to attack him, but there are too many things that are too worrying for me in his background and I suspect there are a lot of senators that feel that way.

I don't think we're quite ready yet. As of Friday afternoon, we were not. But we're right close to it,

I hate when players say it's tough to pinch-hit. That's (crap). You got to prepare your mind to come off the bench. That's you're job.

Certainly, before anybody jumps on the president for this six-month suspension, it would be wise to consider the other salutary initiatives that the president is putting into force. The president is, in fact, taking a very tough line which is certain to make Fidel Castro squirm,

I don't believe we've seen anything like this before.

Because of the development cycles, it has become less and less attractive for enterprise customers to buy a contract where you are effectively pre-paying for the next version.

We must have a full debate and votes on issues such as China's pitiful human rights record, China's brutal suppression of religious freedom, China's increasingly belligerent stance toward the Democratic Chinese government on Taiwan and China's unbroken record of violated agreements one after another on other matters. You can't trust them,

He wanted better for myself and my sister. He didn't want me to have to endure the strenuous work.

He is his same self in a lot of ways. He just doesn't always remember.

He has his good days and his bad days. He still sees friends. Company is good for him. He is still signing books. But he is not able to conduct any business or make any speeches.

He worked so hard so I wouldn't have to set foot in a coal mine.

He seems to recognize people. His manners are always intact. He is very gracious when people come to see him. He is his same self in a lot of ways. He just doesn't always remember.

He goes to the office everyday and sees his friends and has lunch and shoots the bull, ... I think he is doing well. He will be 84 next month. I don't know many people that age who don't have problems.

Joe Biden and I consulted in my office Wednesday night past, for about four and a half hours and we covered 21 differences and resolved them.

My objection to William Weld wasn't based on the way he conducted himself as governor or even how he would conduct himself as an ambassador in a place other than Mexico. India was where I wanted to send him,

Terrorists around the world will realize that America's differences end at the water's edge, and that the United States' political leadership always has, and always will stand united in the face of international terrorism,

I will never support the lifting of the Glenn Amendment's sanctions on India unless they abandon all nuclear ambitions,

People are looking at everything from coal to uranium to oil and natural gas. When you include wind and ethanol, things look even better.

John Roberts and I worked on a response to that letter

It is even worse than a critical flaw.

It is bitterly ironic that the Clinton administration is rushing to send Elian Gonzalez back to a country that has just been singled out by the U.N. for its systematic violation of human rights.

It depends on whether this is just a temporary lull. If it's a temporary lull, we'll have to leave the people there for a while, ... But if it's for real, then we ought to make plans to bring those folks home.

I think the citizens of this city are nervous about overdevelopment, ... We want development, yes, but we don't want it all in downtown in one area.

I was happy with the win. We're just happy we're in Lubbock.

I think it's a good decision. They can't afford to cut any more features to make a 2006 date. The features that need the most testing, frankly, are enterprise features related to the core of the product, like user account control and how it will lock down services to make them less vulnerable to a worm. Things like that fundamentally change the way Windows works, and they couldn't really back out of them.

The press was effective, as normal, and I thought we were very unselfish. We moved the ball well.

We anticipated that this was going to happen because we felt he was good coming in here and we knew he would get better. That's exactly what happened. We're happy that our program benefited him. We know we need to go get somebody else good to replace him.

We are in real good shape to support putting off robotics until tomorrow. We could see that was coming.

Windows is Microsoft's biggest business unit, and Vista is it's biggest challenge. Frankly, I think it's going to be very difficult for Microsoft to make its case to corporations.

Windows Live is the next generation of MSN.

Windows Vista is on the final approach. Microsoft needed to take some early steps to start thinking about the next version.

Microsoft is going to feel the pain: over 80 percent of desktop Windows are through sales of new PCs.

You'll never be an outsider. You'll always be a friend here,

We just are not really able, at our current staffing and current (oil) activity levels, to keep up with reclaiming the land and getting it back into productive use.

Most of the marsh where that salt water sat for a long time looks dead. It looks like it is does extremely late in the winter and you've had several extreme frosts. Where we found birds, they seemed to be concentrated in the habitat that was not impacted by the storm.

We need to face up to the fact that the nation's freedom has been put in danger by the very people who claim to uphold it, with their claim that freedom of speech gives them license to say anything - or do anything - because they are simply being 'informative,'

Microsoft sees software as a service as a part-answer to the maturing software market.

Microsoft's engineers have been griping about too much bureaucracy, and this reorganization runs counter to it. It is bound to cause some discussion among employees as you are essentially putting a business manager on top of a very technical group.

Microsoft's server and tools unit has proved they can take something like Web 2.0 and make it easier to program for. It has a very viable business model there.

will be based on the truth and not the deliberate inaccuracies those who disagreed with me took such delight in repeating.

We have a lot of reason to hope that these were transient problems and we can proceed normally.

We're playing in a tournament where somebody's going to the national tournament. It's that simple. And we'll compete.

The rate of increase in Durham County has not been so strong as to cause any concern on my part about oversupply.

When you're standing close and there's a fresh deer in it, you can smell it. But it doesn't take long for the smell to go away.

We came back just over a week ago and we're adjusting very well. It's been a very surprising experience to have returned to Earth and have such quick adjustment.

We don't need to worry about the Indian nuclear tests if India has agreed not to have these weapons in the first place,

This represents an amount of oil that we're confident is going to be taken out of the ground.

There has to be a few widely accepted cards -- kind of the Visa and MasterCard of the identity world -- and it's not clear that anyone wants that job.

There have been real attacks; this is not theoretical. All you have to do is go to an evil Web site or click on a link in an e-mail and some hacker dude owns your computer.

Bill Clinton does not understand that, ... He thinks he's the king. And he makes decisions that he expects you to follow, and I'm not going to follow a lot of things that he did.

At 37 percent new homes, this is a very strong new home market.

Every dollar these countries spend on American farm products is a dollar they cannot spend on terror and repression,

I see no short-term change in that situation. Durham has a great supply of relatively inexpensive homes.

It would have been a very tight squeeze. If they were going to miss Christmas, there just wasn't a good reason to push it for 2006.

I've been back there a lot in the last couple of days and I honestly have not noticed a problem. Yuri and I have been busy working hard and we never stopped and even noticed that our environment was in any way disturbing us.

We feel like it isn't really our money, ... We're just stewards.

We've got a lot of excited people up here.

This one is particularly nasty because is allows people to take control of your computer from over the internet.

While I think (new-home sales) will continue to grow, I don't think it can maintain the pace it had in 2005.

Both teams played pretty good defense, but Midland ran their offense better than we ran ours. We're not going to beat a good team and Midland is a good team if we don't run our offense and execute.

That's why we're losing. There's a black cat behind the dugout.

They're very good, and they don't do a lot of spectacular things. They just do solid things.

They said that (amphetamines were) in baseball, and as far as how much, we'll never know. They wanted everything out of baseball, and that's the way it is right now. It's definitely a clean sport, and everybody's who's on the field this year is clean, no matter who it is.

Farewell Fidel, that's the message of this bill,

There should be a televised debate between the two of us. What do you say, Rick?

This treaty will do nothing -- will do nothing -- to reduce the dangers of poison gas.

to sacrifice Taiwan's security in order to appease the dictators in Beijing.

This is a moment of truth for Pakistan as a nation,

You're dealing with a reservoir that extends over hundreds, perhaps thousands, of square miles. It's just a matter of figuring out the technology to extract that.

This is a sentimental time, ... It's the end of it. I have thoroughly enjoyed my life in the public view.

I'm sure rising interest rates at some point are going to take some buyers out of the marketplace. Typically, though, this does not happen in a big way until interest rates hit 8 percent and we have a long way to go until it reaches 8 percent.

In due course, Governor Weld needs to be heard.

I'm happy to see Baker's coming forward, ... A campaign should really be a test of who you are as a candidate. How is an ordinary citizen supposed to connect with him?

I just want to see my dad again. You kind of feel helpless.

I just want to tell him I love him.

If you look at Microsoft's two biggest businesses, Windows and Office, they don't have an obvious Web 2.0 play. But the server and tools business at Microsoft has a vested interested in making Web 2.0 work, and they have a strategy to do it.

The biggest changes are the kids and the resources they have. They use the scientific method better than I've ever seen it used before.

It's real big, especially with a young team like this, you can just see the atmosphere in the clubhouse when they win. Everybody is so happy. When you lose with a young team, it seems like guys get down a little more. We try to help out with that the best way we can.

expand the space that the pope has opened.

The large influx of ducks into the state since the November survey is undoubtedly due to recent severe cold fronts bringing freezing temperatures and snow to northern and mid-latitude areas of the Central and Mississippi Flyway. Combined with persistent drought to the north, conditions were favorable for waterfowl migration into Louisiana.

The campaign was never about Mr. Gantt being black; it was always and only about him being a liberal,

Their in-house knowledge of how to do these things is very, very good.

His health is generally very good, ... He does have some memory problems. For that reason he is not making speeches or giving live interviews.
