Earlier Quotations | Page 5

Jeff Sheppard came and told us the same thing earlier in the year. He was telling us about how that 1998 team lost in Maui and how they lost some games at home. But no one remembered that when they won the national championship.

Jay, who buried his grandfather earlier today, came out and played so well, showed so much heart; it was a very special performance.

Kurt's done pretty well here over the years. We're bringing the same car and back-up that we took to Daytona for the 500 and at this race earlier this year, and the primary did really well there. These Sharpie guys have done a great job with the racecars all year, and especially last weekend and in Loudon, but we haven't had the finishes. So we need a good run this weekend.

Last time, he took the lead earlier than what I wanted. Today I was expecting to make the lead a little bit later, but he kind of got on the muscle at the three-eighths pole. But he settled a lot better today than the last time.

Large caps are showing signs of correcting their earlier gains, indicating that the recent rally may be nearing its end.

I think everyone is eager to play. It'll be good to be the first ones up and ready to go. The earlier the better.

I think Ernie could have been more aggressive earlier in the match, but he's had a great career.

I saw him earlier today, and he gave me a little wink. He said, 'I got a few in me,' ... I didn't think it would be that many. He's mythic, in my mind.

I saw her that September - we'd been divorced earlier that year - and I think she said she had gotten engaged and was moving to Fredericksburg. That's where the trail ends.

I saw a woman screaming and I thought it was some sort of prank, ... All of the sudden, you look over right where you were standing a few minutes earlier and there is a dead body there. I don't think it's hit me yet.

I said earlier this season that this is probably the worst rebounding team we've had here in 15 years and today was a perfect example of why. Forget the fact that we're probably not big enough or athletic enough in some positions, we get caught a lot of times standing around. We were really fortunate that Pitt didn't capitalize.

I said earlier that if coach Watkins is here, I would definitely come back.

I said earlier in the day that when we score first, we have a chance. But when you play against that team, if you're up by 6 runs your heart is still pumping.

I said it earlier this year, I think you can have one 'mulligan' (and still win the championship). But this has been two for (Kurt) Busch, I don't think he can still win the championship.

People are coming earlier and earlier for their trees. Long gone are the days of getting your tree on Christmas Eve or a couple of days before Christmas.

Penn State is going to be our biggest competition this weekend. They beat Michigan earlier this year and Michigan won the World Series last year, so they should be pretty tough.

Our kids seemed to lose their focus against Osage. We wrestled better earlier than we did later.

Our kids kind of panicked there at the end. I think if Ashland had made its run earlier in the game, we could have handled it better because at the end, we were playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Earlier, when we got our big lead, we were attacking and playing to win.

Our kids, for whatever reason, struggle playing Bartlett. If it's the gym, if it's the team, I don't know what it is. We played like that earlier in the year against them, too. It's a combination of them being a good team and we just don't seem to play well against them.

Our guys are really excited about starting the spring. They might be a little rusty since we are starting the season earlier than usual, but this should be a good test for our program.

Our key industries are starting to show more consistent growth and with the national economy still heating up, hopefully, job creation will surpass our earlier forecast.

Our pricing strategy is no different than what we said earlier in the quarter, ... We said early in the first quarter we're going to take back the low end. This is consistent with what we said in early January.

Our team goal this year was to host a playoff match and we've accomplished that. Our second goal is to win region. We lost to them earlier (in a non-region match). We've gotten better since then and they've gotten better. It's going to be a great match Tuesday night." ()

Our store visits suggested that the company's various fascias were discounting earlier and more heavily than the competition and that is rarely a good sign at this time of year.

Our study further defines melanoma risk in post-menopausal women and, it is hoped, will sensitize the medical community to this risk, serving as a catalyst for development of new routines of follow-up and patient assessment to facilitate earlier detection of melanoma.

Our goal as a team was to win the sectional, and it's even sweeter since we tied Maple Heights earlier this season. In the finals, some guys wrestled well and some didn't. But we had some tough matches.

Overall, IBM will paint a picture that demand is solid. It may not be as robust as earlier in the year, but things haven't fallen off a cliff,

Our work with students no longer begins when they're starting kindergarten, ... It starts much earlier than that. It's also true our work with kids doesn't end with graduation. It continues well beyond that.

Our coaches have preached that the whole way through the tournament: Just have fun. There's no pressure on us. In earlier games, we could have lost by 30 to Michigan State and North Carolina and everybody wouldn't have been writing about us, and we would have just went home and this would have been done with. But we don't feel any pressure now that we're here. We can just go out and play.

Right now the biggest difference between us and West Sioux are our second and third runners, because our second and thirds are over 30 seconds faster than their second and third. We feel pretty good about how we're doing heading towards districts. West Sioux had beaten us earlier in the year and we've beaten them twice in a row now. But we can't ease up, because they'll be competitive and right there with us and they'll beat us if we do.

Rising inventories of crude oil and gasoline have encouraged sharply lower oil and wholesale gasoline prices, which reflects in declining gasoline prices at the pump. Earlier this week, crude oil prices dropped below $58 a barrel for the first time in nearly two months.

Right now, you hope to find a way to win and we did. We were resilient enough to win tonight. Probably, earlier in the year we wouldn't have done that.

Republic Airways has been operating as a US Airways Express carrier since earlier this month, and we are pleased to complete this additional step in our expanded relationship as well as in our restructuring efforts.

Restarts earlier this season, do we have to talk about them? I cost us a couple of wins on restarts this year, ... That's something I've really worked on this year, and it showed today. I got good jumps especially the last five times.

Respect for the family's privacy at this stage is thought to be only just, in view of the public nature of the earlier part of the day.

(Pierce) has been making those big shots for us. Earlier in the season, other teams were making those shots against us. It's reversing right now.

Relative to where the stocks were earlier this year and the expectations people had for growth, some correction was necessary. Their valuations were as lofty as I have ever seen in 20 years of following the semiconductor industry. They were truly off the charts.

Pausing amidst robust data contradicts earlier statements that they are data dependent. If you were someone who was looking for the Fed to protect your fixed-income investment, if they pause and they're wrong, inflation pressures can build in that period.

Our main thing was to go .500 or better (on the road trip). Now that we've got three wins, why stop now? Let's make up for some of the losses earlier in the season.

People just got very nervous about technology all of a sudden. After a rally earlier in the day, the Nasdaq just begun to drop.

People here have been making their decision earlier over the last few years. And, by the fourth event, people were tired of evacuating.

People look forward to having that time with each other and are showing up earlier and earlier each week. They want to be a part of having real conversations. This Sunday I made two coffee dates with people I hardly know.

Steve's body of work is remarkable. I know that because earlier this evening, Steve turned to me and said, 'Isn't my body of work remarkable?'

Stephanie and (Cristina) were both struggling earlier with illness. But they are great friends which translates to great chemistry on the doubles court.

Stability is somewhat returning to stocks, which took a hit earlier this week due to concerns that the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates earlier than previously thought.

Some of the things the University was able to do earlier in Simmons' term created a buzz that said, 'Wow, that is bold, that is aggressive.' The fact that we have been able to keep it up ... shows that Brown is a force to be reckoned with.

Some of the managers missed some of the initial run up in tech stocks, ... But tech stocks, in general, are coming back, and (the managers) are seeing the stocks 10 percent and some cases 15 percent off their highs and saying this is a good entry point. Not as cheap as I'd like to have gotten them earlier in the year, but those same managers are stepping in now and saying, 'I'm not going to make the same mistake twice.'

Some of the younger kids struggled a bit earlier this year. We knew we would need them to do really well and they just stepped beyond belief.

Some guys show up when you tell them to, like two hours before a game or a practice, but Chelios will be there three or four hours earlier than that. I wish all players in the NHL had the passion and drive that Chris Chelios has for the game.

Some investment banks were on the bandwagon earlier than others and are doing quite well as a result. It's a product that does require knowledge of the market.

Some held earlier and longer summer sales despite margins already being very tight, but there has been little sign in this survey of a response from consumers.

Some market participants are beginning to be concerned about the risks of an earlier rate hike.

My purpose is to fill out our knowledge of that language, and it involves a lot of different things-recording different kinds of speech, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and trying to integrate that information with material that earlier linguists have collected.

My parents were early adopters, and I've been online since a rather young age. You should regard anything from 2001 or earlier as having been written by a different person who also happens to be named 'Eliezer Yudkowsky.' I do not share his opinions.

Looking back, I think we were all quite mature, surprisingly responsible. In earlier wars, boys of our age had just gone off to raise hell or enlist or both, but we stayed dutifully at our desks doing tomorrow's homework.

London felt the upturn earlier and stronger than all of the others. Hiring in Britain didn't drop as much as it did in the rest of the world through 2003, in financial markets and other industries.

Matt Morris pitched a great game, guys got some key hits and I didn't really have much to do with it. I just wish we scored earlier and not put that much pressure on him.

Martin and I spoke earlier this month about his decision. I made it clear during the Rugby World Cup that I would have liked him to captain England in our defense of the Grand Slam, but I fully support his decision.

Like the use of the word 'concupiscence' in an earlier age to describe sexual desire, the use of the word 'pollution' to describe essential aspects of the productive activities of an industrial society represents an attempt to defame an entirely proper human capacity by means of using an evil sounding name for it.

I was very surprised, because three months earlier our doctors passed me in the physical in order for me to sign my contract. I haven't missed a game or practice due to any injury since 2002. So I don't think anything's wrong with my bone structure, knees, joints or ankles. They just said I didn't pass the physical and rescinded the trade. But I feel fine.

I was very pleased with our team score and success we had out on the course. Earlier in the season Belle had beaten us by one stroke on the same course.

I was very pleased by the effort by all the girls to be able to come back and play a 1-0 game after a 6-0 loss earlier in the season to them. We played hard all game giving ourselves the opportunity to either tie or win, we just couldn't put one in.

I was very nervous before this game. It was trap game for us. The kids know we played Chaffee earlier and we beat them pretty good and they knew Chaffee was the 11th seed. But I'll tell you what, Chaffee has a pretty good team. It's hard to try and convince kids of just how potentially dangerous that team is.

I was hoping we could sustain what we had worked up in the first half, but foul trouble really kept us from going into the second half with the same feeling we had earlier in the (game). Memphis has an explosive team and I think they were able to run us and we hit the wall about six, seven or eight minutes into the second half. And that made it difficult for us to overcome that run.

I was hoping to play a little more earlier in the season. It's a different situation now. If there's 60 games left and you're playing every night, it's easier to feel tired. There's only (12 games) to go. It doesn't seem like that many. Mentally, that's the big thing, that's why it doesn't bother me.

I was fading so I don't really have any complaints with the way that he raced me. I passed him two or three times earlier in the day and found another line and worked my way around the outside of him. I was a little surprised that he continually drove it in and kept trying to blast me in the center. I think he probably hit me for four or five laps and the time that he got by me, he really had my wheels off the ground and I couldn't get in the gas and he got inside of me and from there drove on and drove away from me. This is short track racing.

I was excited when we announced the earlier group of players and with the additions we have today, I believe we have a great blend of talented professionals. The fans are in for a treat.

I was excited that the game kind of opened up, and I was able to see where I fit in. I wasn't necessarily feeling that earlier in the week. We were really spaced, and the game kind of flowed (Saturday) night.

It feels good to get this win. We had a tough match against BYU earlier in the season and we kept changing our lineup. So it's good that we're finding a personality and being able to put teams away going into the second half of the season.

It feels good to finally get that first one. I'm starting to come around now, feel more comfortable. I'm starting to trust myself at the plate a lot more than earlier in the season.

It feels good. From the get-go, we knew we could beat these guys. The story all year has been us not playing up to our potential, not playing as well as we can. When we do that, we lose, and that happened a lot earlier in the season. We've learned that we have to come out with the kind of intensity we had tonight every night.

It feels pretty good, pretty stable. I tweaked it a little bit at practice earlier in the week, but it feels good now.

I think qualifying was pretty good. We went out slightly earlier than some people and got a good time in, so I was quite pleased with that, and then slowly started to slip back down the order, which is kind of the normal situation as qualifying works out, everyone gets quicker towards the end. The race is a different thing. We've just got to be smart, make sure we have a good first lap, you know, see how the race pans out. It's going to be a very long, tough race. Anything can happen.

I think probably in the earlier parts of my career I was influenced by writers such as Hawthorne and Melville - the American classics.

It does look like there were some major gaps in the earlier investigations, which were not criminal investigations incidentally.

I think I'd try a little bit of the spread offense a little bit earlier and try and confuse them, ... I felt like they weren't going to be able to stay with us in our base offense. I made some terrible adjustments.

I think I may have to warm up earlier next time. Actually, the clock in the clubhouse was eight minutes slow and I got to the bullpen a little late. I'll be ready next time.

I think he's in the best shape of his life. He's finishing much better than earlier in the season. I thought, as well as he scored and rebounded, his defense was 100 times better than it was at Michigan. He got a real film session lesson (Friday) before practice on what he had to do. To his credit, he came out and took care of business.

I think he should get it (the Manager of the Year Award). The reason our team was able to withstand the adversity we had earlier this season was his belief in the team. That belief, when a lot of critics were doubting him, his consistency from day to day, and his communication skills, all of that is a big reason why we are where we are.

I think for many people, if they started their planning earlier and had better deadlines, they could probably avoid it,

It definitely gives you confidence. Like last year and earlier this year, you're winning a game and losing one, and you go back and forth like a mediocre team. Finally, you're putting some wins together, and it gives you a lot of confidence going into your next game.

I think many people recognized that having the oldest kindergartners in the country is not a good thing. We know so much more about child development and brain research that we know the earlier we get them to school, the better.

I think I've explained earlier on in the year that I kind of underestimated how important experience was in this series, especially when you're up against such good quality drivers.

I thought in the second half he didn't have the same confidence he displayed earlier in the game.

Justin has taken to his role as our closer. Tonight we brought him in earlier than we normally would have, and he stepped up and responded in a positive manner.

Judy met this afternoon with the special counsel to hand over additional notes and answer questions. She is to return to the grand jury Wednesday to supplement her earlier testimony.

I'm still on an adventure but it's more without a goal then it was in the earlier years. I'm letting myself be led to the places I think I want to go.

I'm still doing my thing at 41, I don't care what anyone tells me. It's mentally exhausting to be that focused every pitch now. It was easier at an earlier age ... It's the ingredient I've missed more than anything else.

Management confirmed what we had said following our national store visits earlier this week: January sales slowed down.

Most of the Q1 openings were earlier than planned and have been performing better than anticipated in the short time they have been opened.

We need radical dietary improvement, and the earlier in life that change is made, the better. Just following a vegan diet or eating a few more vegetables is not enough.

The Argent/Pioneer Honda was really good today. I really think we got everything out of the car the way it was set up. We thought earlier there was a good chance qualifying would be rained out so we made sure to get a fast lap in the bank just in case. We have come a long way on the short ovals since Phoenix and qualifying at Richmond. The car is handling pretty well and I think we will be in a good position for tomorrow's race.

The apparent bubbling up of inflation we saw earlier in the year has quieted down again. Basically it's a picture of inflation staying reasonably tranquil. The Fed should like that.

That was great for them. They got to go and compete earlier before they even touched a ball (for Lee).

That was valuable because we got together earlier and faced some tough competition. That early playing time gave us some confidence that I think we tapped into later in the year.

That was unfortunate for Zach. He was a guy that had some issues earlier and was starting to come back, and it stinks that his season's over.

That was some of the best hockey we played was earlier in the year. I hope we get back to that because we've been struggling lately. I thought we had a good effort at Lakeland (in a 5-1 loss last Tuesday), but we're still capable of playing better hockey.

That was big and that's what Camille can do. She's a great defensive player. Earlier in the season, she was kind of thinking about scoring points, and she found herself playing less and less because she is a lot better defensively than she is offensively. But she came in today, did what she does best, and I'm proud of her for that.

That was one time that I was not going to take the extra base. If it was earlier in the game, I probably was going to take the extra base. You've got to give your best guy the opportunity to win the game.

That was more and earlier than I'd ever seen them deploy before.
