E. O. Wilson Ill Quotations

If I could have rolled in some of the birdie putts early and not made the silly bogey from the fairway on 18, I could have something real special today. I'm still happy with what it is, though.

The question becomes, well, where do you get the product to fill the pipeline, ... The system was basically running full out before the storm to supply the market and now we've lost nearly 10 percent of the (U.S.) refining capacity.

Even in a country like the USA where fitness has become an obsession, most people exercising do not seem to think it illogical to drive automobiles to gyms while doing their best to avoid walking

The state committed $20 million to bring in 7,500 jobs. That's the extent of our involvement. Countrywide decides where they're going to place those.

What more can a regular person expect from us? We were a real underdog, and we fought till we couldn't fight anymore. That's all we could give.

We can't get a return done for $313. Tax return preparers on the East and West coasts have a higher billing rate than practitioners in other parts of the country.

We have 26 girls out and that's as many as I can remember in a long time. I can remember just a few years ago going to meets and not being able to fill all the events. It's going to be fun this year.

We're going to see a bill that the chamber doesn't like and the NRA doesn't like. And that will be compromise.

This bill was never about the Second Amendment. This bill has always been about private-property rights.

The fact the race is so based on name recognition only, those that can raise enough money to buy billboards and commercials will make it, ... and those people don't always necessarily have the city in their best interests. Those of us who may not have the resources to do it, fight for the little votes out there, and we end up dragging ourselves down.

The energy thing is what's giving us the biggest problems now. It's killing us. What good is a farm bill in the future if we can't survive now?

All of a sudden, it went in from everywhere. It was a tale of two nines. If I could have rolled in some birdie putts early and not made a silly bogey at 18, this could have been something real special. But I'm still happy with what it is.

Nobody was real thrilled with their scores today. Renee expects better, Mara expects better, but we are 9-1 and we have some real tests coming up. I told them it's a win. It's one thing to play poorly and lose, but we played poorly and won, it just shows our overall strength.

There is so much this committee can accomplish. The Bills will continue to work diligently in other areas of league economics to protect the viability of this franchise.

This is the biggest win I've ever been a part of. Louisville came out with a swagger in the second half. But I knew we could win if we just made some plays. About the end of their third quarter, their offensive linemen just started laying down.

They took advantage of every silly mistake we made. On the first power play we gave up a shorthand goal and we never worked hard enough to deserve anything the rest of the period. We got what we deserved in the second.

On behalf of the BBF, I want to give Mr. William Sands and Commonwealth Bank our sincerest thanks. Without their assistance it would be extremely difficult to send our award-winning team to the competitions they need to go to in order to put them on the international stage. The team needs to be exposed to this level of competition in order to prepare for the Olympics. We are also heartened by the fact that Commonwealth Bank supports our sport of basketball, which plays a tremendous part in the development of our youth.

No-till in and of itself is a carbon credit. If someone is willing to pay you to do what you've been doing, then why not get involved? You are just leaving money on the land if you don't.

This is only the first step. The senator told me he is going to continue to monitor this situation as will the Bills and all of our fans.

We're willing to spend that amount of money if, as a collective group, we can all come up with a good plan.

Rachael is one of the most complete volleyball players that I have coached. Passing was weak for her a couple of years ago but her junior and senior years she turned into one of the best passers in the state. Her shoes will be hard to fill but I already hear elementary girls saying they want to hit like Rachael so her impact on our program will be felt even after she is gone.

I was nervous but excited for him. He's a good kid. He's excited about it and he's thrilled to have his friends who have been working on a fundraiser with him.

Man's destiny is to know, if only because societies with knowledge culturally dominate societies that lack it. Luddites and anti-intellectuals do not master the differential equations of thermodynamics or the biochemical cures of illness. They stay in thatched huts and die young.

We need freedom to roam across land owned by no one but protected by all, whose unchanging horizon is the same that bounded the world of our millennial ancestors.

The kind of jobs I did before were all about standing back from different circumstances and seeking to contribute to a strategy which would mean a good outcome. It's difficult to translate that skill directly into football, particularly when the situation has not yet arisen. But the whole thing about where Celtic play and whether they can crack the enigma of having huge potential while operating in a small arena is certainly something that interests me.

She may be confusing her moving with the bill moving.

I did say that if the Bills were not in a position to compete financially, a move might have to be considered.

My dad definitely fills up my closet. Running is something we've always done together as a family. My dad did it, then my sister followed and I saw how much she liked it.

It is an honor to get it (the designation) and we hope it will instill a historic pride in our community.

Usually when one guy does something big, everyone else follows. That's kind of where we went downhill the second game. Obviously no one really jumped out, stepped up. It's just kind of my role this year to get everyone fired up and ready to go.
