A big part of my decision is not made about whether I’m able to coach in the NHL or if I’m ready to step up and take that challenge. Basically, it’s about my family, it’s about my children, and this is where my decision is going to have to be made.
Patrick Roy
Britain needs a diverse energy mix – home grown renewables, new nuclear, a switch from dirty coal to cleaner gas, and, when the technology is ready, carbon capture and storage. Diversity will keep the lights on and ensure we go green at the lowest possible cost.
When you’re running a route, timing is everything. You have an internal clock – a timer that goes off in your mind that tells you that you need to be ready for the ball – and you have to get to your spot on time.
Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you’re ready to play as tough as you’re able to, you’d better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you’re not giving it all you’ve got.
As a little girl I loved the thought of playing dress-up and getting ready.
Denise Richards
I am ready any time. Do not keep me waiting.
John Mason Brown

Tiffeny Milbrett
So, while I gave up the notions of publishing at that time, I never stopped editing and refining that book. A few years later, in 1987, I thought I had it ready to go out again.
We need to get ready for a world where terrorism will not ever fully go away.
People are hurting out there, perhaps they are ready to start a conversation about whether an AR-15 belongs in the hands of a citizen, whether a citizen should be able 6,000 rounds on the internet.
Brian Williams
Some people like just sitting down and being taken for a ride. That’s a beautiful thing that fiction can do. But it’s not the only thing. In television and film, people are ready to accept any kind of jump cut, but the slightest disturbance on the page ruffles their feathers.
If you’re not ready the moment things happen, then you’re irrelevant, you might as well not go.

Well, politics is much more severe than entertainment. You have to hit those points, in politics, word for word. You have to remember the date. You have to remember the website. You have to rehearse stories that might be asked, have anecdotes ready for questions that might come up.
It is not advantageous for Russia in its present state to fight against Chechnya. The army is a mess. It must be made combat ready. That will take time. Russia has a lot of economic, social and political problems much more important than Chechnya.

Rita Volk
I think it was the preparation and every thing Lombardi represented, you know, about hard work and that every game was important. So when you get to the real important games, you were ready to go.
Ray Nitschke
I am ready and prepared to work with the President, but I will not be a rubber stamp for any president.
Daniel Inouye
Sometimes you don’t prepare much. I mean, when I did ‘Lonesome Dove‘ way back I rode horses day and night for like three or four months, and that got me ready for that.
How do we know that Moses was grown up? Because he went out unto his brethren, and was ready to bear the burdens and share the plight of his people. Maturity is sensitivity to human suffering.

Saddam Hussein
I desire to put off my trial as long as I can till I can get my evidence ready.
William Kidd

Gunther Schuller
I was notified on July 17 to be ready to start August 7 for an October air date. When we reached the screen we did not have a single segment ready. It was done so fast the writers never got a chance to know what it was all about.
Jeffrey Hunter
A woman who is not ready to have a baby making it work is not a happy ending to me. It’s a personal nightmare.
I’m ready for some rock ‘n’ roll action.
Mick Ralphs
There are times when what you do will be mysterious to everyone… times when you have to change directions before people are ready. Just because someone does something that critics don’t like or understand doesn’t mean you’re failing as a musician. It probably means you’re growing.
There’s a harsh reality – nothing lasts forever. You have to be ready to grow, and grow fast.
Pras Michel
I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug ‘Want to kill ya’ song, I’m ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song, I want to go have sex. I’m very animalistic when it comes to stuff like that. Very basic emotions.
If you want a president who will upend the status quo in Washington, D.C., and appoint justices of the Supreme Court who will uphold the Constitution, we have but one choice, and that man is ready. This team is ready. Our party is ready and when we elect Donald Trump, the 45th president.
My typical Saturday night is a great solo dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. I like to talk to the restaurant staff while I eat, then come home, finish up some work until midnight, and then play the keyboard until I’m ready to sleep.
We say that our world must think of and listen to consumers, and this is true, but not too much, in the sense that if you want to change and innovate, you must also think with your own head. Maybe you make choices that the market is not ready to accept but that will be accepted in 18 or 24 months.
We are ready to train new Iraqi forces outside Iraq. We did it in Abu Dhabi.
Joschka Fischer
That’s your dream, to play professional baseball. When you get the opportunity like that, getting drafted – especially by Oakland, a California team, pretty close to home – it was tempting. At the time, I just didn’t think I was ready or mature enough mentally or physically to start pro ball.
I’m drawn to scenes in movies where you just see characters turning off lights in a room or putting the groceries away; it’s like, ‘I understand that.’ We all have to get ready for bed, and we all do it in a different way, and yet it’s all strangely familiar and strangely human.
I miss England. I miss the weather. I’ve spent moss of the last 25 years on tour. I’m ready to come home.

John Lindsay
If God had made a perfect world, it would be a magic trick, not creation, with no meaning or place for us to learn and create. Mankind is not yet ready for a perfect world. We do not know how to appreciate perfection.
As a child, I had to get up early for school or work. I’d get ready by myself. I’d set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning, and be off to work, the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone, my parents never coming in to wake me up.
The first meal was an object lesson of much variety. My father produced several kinds of food, ready to eat, without any cooking, from little tin cans that had printing all over them.
Mary Antin
All of my activities are so pedestrian. The extreme sport I play is ping pong. And we play it hard. If any of you suckers want to step up to the table, be ready.
My daily style is easy and effortless – I don’t like to take too much time getting ready.
We can’t change the past. We can only get ready for the future.
President Kennedy was willing to go to war. He was not a coward. The man had been in war and so had Ken O’Donnell. He was ready to protect this nation, but he was not ready for a military solution just because it was being rammed down his throat.
My senior year I felt I put a lot more time into the offseason to make a lot more happen. Going out my senior year, I felt like I did everything I wanted to do and more. I felt like I dominated and I feel comfortable going to the next level and that I’m ready.
We’re betting, at this place and this time, we have people ready for change in the state of Maryland.
Not everyone is comfortable moving from home. If you’re ready to play abroad and you believe in yourself, why not?
It is unfortunately true that our generation and that of your parents have left you with a big mess that will now be yours to clean up: wars, budget challenges, pollution, global warming, battles of health care, natural disasters. They’re all there for you. We’re willing those to you. Are you ready?
John Morgridge
Yet the whole preamble of the second authorization act for the Marshall Plan showed the direction Congress was ready to take about breaking down barriers within Europe.

I love making movies, but I was ready to rationalize being only a mother if my career never got back on track.
Jane Greer
In India, people still want an image to connect to and, even if it’s a false one, they will stick to it. We are ready and want to be fooled by someone or the other, be it a baba or a politician.
The pilgrim is humble and devout, and human, and charitable, and ready to smile and admire; therefore, he should comprehend the whole of his way, the people in it, and the hills and the clouds, and the habits of the various cities.
Hilaire Belloc
I’ll watch a highlight tape of my kicks and I’ll play a song that I like the night before the game and then I’ll sing that song in my head to visually get myself ready and have positive thoughts.

After playing with Rob Zombie, I was ready to go, ‘OK, this is as far as I’m taking this bass-playing thing. This is the end of the road.’ I was ready to kind of hang it up.
Jason Newsted
Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors, that they are ready to repeat their lesson as often as we please.
Louis Nizer
I’m not a kid. You don’t get in this business for anonymity. It’s not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I’m kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family – their privacy. That’s what I’m more protective of.
Other actors like to rehearse on film-they like 30 or 40 takes. When you get an actor like that, it becomes difficult for me because I’m ready to quit after number two.
Richard Widmark
Unfortunately, the greatest photographers don’t pay extreme attention to the clothes. If they decide to put a dress in a bathtub or in front of a cow in the countryside with dirt everywhere, well, the dresses come back… ready to be put in the garbage.
Valentino Garavani
First you learn the value of abstraction, then you learn the cost of abstraction, then you’re ready to engineer.
I remember 9/11; we had ‘Comics Come Home’ about a month after those events. That night, even the comedians were concerned. Would the audience be ready to laugh? It was a release for everyone.
My sense is that we’re ready for another industrial revolution in this country. The great minds and innovators of Silicon Valley would come through China and say, The pipeline is full of ideas – there’s personalized medicine, biotechnology, new forms to power ourselves, clean energy, etc., etc.
Things change very quickly. You have to be prepared and ready and on your toes at all times.

People on the streets are ready for hockey.
Eric Lindros
When you get ready to vote, make sure you know what you are doing.
Robert Hunter
People are very ready to criticize other people’s accents. There’s no correlation between accents and intelligence or accents and criminality, but people do make judgments.
My father was a progressive farmer, and was always ready to lay aside an old plough if he could replace it with one better constructed for its work. All through life, I have ever been ready to buy a better plough.
Andrew Taylor Still
In running, I can internalize that intensity. I can handle it because it’s me and I’m coming back in the next race. I’m always ready for the next race.
As a woman, you spend so much time either cooking or getting ready to go somewhere. I like to have music when I’m doing either of these things.
Music is your own talent and is an important tool. Even if you don’t want to be a role model, get ready to be in the public eye. Energy is there, you just have to use it.
And each man stands with his face in the light. Of his own drawn sword, ready to do what a hero can.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
When we came up with titles like Ready or Not, that’s how we really felt.
Pras Michel
I was always ready to leave England for some absurd reason.
Claire Forlani
After two undefeated seasons of ‘Worst Cooks in America,’ I’m ready for a third. Going against Bobby Flay takes the challenge to another level, but I’m ready to whip these contestants into shape and the winner is sure to be from Team Burrell.
Since my father’s death, a lot of people have made it clear that they’re not ready to give up the music. For me, it’s a big, fat gift. I get to sing with a big orchestra and get to sing orchestrations that will never be old.
The important thing is to be ready when the team needs me. As long as I can do that, I consider myself satisfied and happy.
The thing is, my fantasies about being a parent always involved fighting for my unpopular child, doing for her what my own parents couldn’t do for me when I was a girl. I am so ready to be that little girl’s mother.

People – not just in their teenage years – hold on to this fantasy of love when they’re not ready to have a real relationship.
I never believed that U2 wanted to save the whales. I d

I never believed that U2 wanted to save the whales. I don’t believe that The Beastie Boys are ready to lay it down for Tibet.
Cameramen are among the most extraordinarily able and competent people I know. They have to have an insight into natural history that gives them a sixth sense of what the creature is going to do, so they can be ready to follow.
You don’t have to get ready if you stay ready, alright? I’m always in the gym, always training, all the time.
My dream is to become a director. I want to direct a Hindi film. I have two scripts ready. One of them is a fantasy-adventure, while the other is a thriller. I’ve assisted my brother Selvaraghavan, who’s a well-known director in Tamil cinema. I’ve also made short films.
I got a few marriage proposals in my 20s. I just wasn’t ready. I just knew if I committed, I would’ve wound up doing something wrong, messing it up. I still felt like I had some living to do.
We’re going to hear a lot of spirited discussion about the President’s plan in the next few days and weeks and that’s fine as long as everyone comes ready to talk and not just snipe, complain and argue.
George Allen
The world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas. Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed. Are you ready to make the match? Because the world’s problems shouldn’t be the human family‘s heirloom.
Well, it’s still another two-day competition, so it’s really important to show that you’re ready. Every meet is really important right now. You’ve got to keep showing you can hit.
Carly Patterson
You have to ask if the country would have been ready for Barack Obama if we hadn’t been prepared by Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. If they hadn’t already been in positions of enormous power and influence – secretary of state, secretary of defence – you know what I mean?
Man is ready to die for an idea, provided that idea is not quite clear to him.
Paul Eldridge
Well, every time I get ready to do a job I want to lose weight.
Fran Drescher

Henry Van Dyke
By the time the people asking the questions are ready for the answers, the people doing the work have lost track of the questions.
We played hard and we partied hard. I’m not ashamed of that. I was no angel – I did some things I shouldn’t have done, lived a lifestyle I shouldn’t have lived. I had a blast at times; other times, I probably compromised my job, my duty to do my job, to be ready as a professional.
Games have grown and developed from this limited in-the-box experience to something that’s everywhere now. Interactive content is all around us, networked, ready. This is something I’ve been hoping for throughout my career.
We are ready to engage in international co-operation against terrorism with a view to safeguarding national interests and regional security and stability.
The generous way of putting it is that we were not ready for this. The less generous way is to say: How was it possible to return to the politics of appeasement of the 1930s?
Paddy Ashdown
I haven‘t got an opportunity to experiment with the dimensions of my moustache much. But yes, if the role demands, I’m ready to shave it off. I feel it’s good to have moustaches for South films, but I’d love to remove my moustache; why not?

Dana Delany
A sovereignty is always presumed to act upon principles of justice, and if, from mistake or oversight, it does injury to a nation or an individual, it is always supposed to be ready and willing to repair it.
Roger B. Taney
True penitence condemns to silence. What a man is ready to recall he would be willing to repeat.
F. H. Bradley
I am ready to accept all accusations, allegations, anger – but I have to succeed.
Boris Trajkovski
I just went up to my mom one day and said, ‘I wanna be on TV. I wanna be a superstar!’ Since I know this is my passion, and I feel like God chose this career for me, I just knew I was ready to do it.
The trouble is that people are all too ready to jump to conclusions about anybody who they think looks a bit strange. They think you must be mentally subnormal.

What is youth except a man or woman before it is ready or fit to be seen?
When it was time for me to get in the ring, I was ready.
The last few years I’ve been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn’t that interesting to me. Now that I’m directing, it’s all new again.
You must be ready to give up everything, not only mater

You must be ready to give up everything, not only material attachments but also human attachments – father, mother, wife, children – everything that you have. But the one thing which you have to abandon unconditionally is your self.
Bede Griffiths
When people start writing there is this idea that you have to get everything right first time, every sentence has to be perfect, every paragraph has to be perfect, every chapter has to be perfect, but what you’re doing is not any kind of public show, until you’re ready for it.
To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.

I ran to my marriage, I was happily ready to take on marriage.
Try to keep your soul always in peace and quiet, always ready for whatever our Lord may wish to work in you. It is certainly a higher virtue of the soul, and a greater grace, to be able to enjoy the Lord in different times and different places than in only one.
The electric car, it’s not the government saying, ‘Oh, we must have electric cars.’ The market was ready for that. People were ready for that, so, we have electric cars.

I think there’s something special and timeless about girls getting ready together.
When the child begins to think and to make use of the written language to express his rudimentary thinking, he is ready for elementary work; and this fitness is a question not of age or other incidental circumstance but of mental maturity.
Glamour is fun! Spending time to get ready isn’t about being fussy; it’s about taking care of myself.
Return to your friends and tell them that we came here with no peaceful intent, but ready for battle, and determined to avenge our own wrongs and set our country free. Let your masters come and attack us: we are ready to meet them beard to beard.
We read advertisements… to discover and enlarge our desires. We are always ready – even eager – to discover, from the announcement of a new product, what we have all along wanted without really knowing it.
Daniel J. Boorstin
Which suggests something about media and war: it’s not just that events happen and the media documents and presents them. There is a third element: what the public is ready to accept, what the public wants to know.
Some years ago I became president of Columbia University and learned within 24 hours to be ready to speak at the drop of a hat, and I learned something more, the trustees were expected to be ready to speak at the passing of the hat.
Every time you go up to the board, you get scared. It’s more like adrenaline, though – you feel pumped and ready to go.
I’m not ready to be a woman yet, I’d like it if my body were more boyish. Maybe I’ll like my curves when I’m older but right now they kind of make me squirm.
Vanessa Marcil
My heart’s in stage. Making ‘Quadrophenia’ was exciting because we were riding around on scooters with no crash helmets. But ‘hurry up and wait’ is the anthem of films. Everybody wants you ready, and then you sit doing nothing.
Phil Daniels
I was raised to think women had babies, stayed at home, and men worked. By the time I got ready to do it, I thought I had all the answers. Only somebody had changed the questions.
I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don’t think people are ready for the message that I’m delivering, and delivering with a sense of violent love.
Waiting makes me restless. When I’m ready, I’m ready.
When I’m out there, it’s not even me who is doing the acting and the wrestling and the moving. It is something that I feel like I see channels more than anything else. So, for me, I tune into the right frequency. I get turned on and we’re ready for take off.
I was at a party, and some squiggly looking dude with a bow tie came up and said, ‘How’d you like to be on TV?’ Turns out he was the programming guy at the Food Network. They had me come into the office, and I did a ‘Ready, Set, Cook’ with Emeril Lagasse, I believe.
Ready, Steady, Go!’ was the show of the ’60s in London, where the Beatles, the Stones and the DC5, and every other major act started.

One of the great lessons the fall of the leaf teaches, is this: do your work well and then be ready to depart when God shall call.
I think in 1997, I was in my absolute prime. I was never bitter; I was uninjured. I was ready to go and ready to make some serious changes to make a difference to have my all-time favorite matches that I would have loved to have.
I guess I say this for younger actors out there: you have to be brave, and you have to be ready to fail, and that’s the only way you can be unique. So when a director is confident enough in what they’re doing, and they allow their actors to be brave and bring in stuff, the more likely it’s going to work out okay.
I still believe that any country understands that if they use nuclear weapons, they will be wiped out of existence. They could be irrational in many ways, but I don’t think they’re irrational to the point that they’re ready to annihilate their own country.
