We expect to oppose any attempt to splinter, to disrupt the operation of the MDL.

Right now is the wrong time to disrupt any part of FEMA's operation, ... I'd like to know who's going to take responsibility for this move.

Expect great things -- attempt great things.

The rescue operation is over. We don't expect anyone else to be found under the wreckage.

It is better to remove the beam from your eye, before you remove the splinter from someone elses.
