Almost Quotes
During the season last year I just felt like my leg was kind of getting fatigued and it was real frustrating. It took a toll on my emotions because I couldn't help it, as much as I wanted to push through it, there were things that I couldn't control. Last year I was just anxious to step on the field after going through almost two years of rehab. This year I can't really even think about it getting tired. I've been through a whole season and there's no more excuses for me now.

Best Quotes
I've been managed well by Wasps and by England, so I'm in good shape, fresh in body and mind. There can be no excuses for me. I've just kept on trying to use every little opportunity to put my case forward. I've worked hard, kept my head down and this has come as a pleasant surprise. It's going to take a monumental effort to win in Paris. You never know what you're going to get. It's the uncertainty. We've got to go there with the mentality that France are going to play the best game of their lives. That's the only way to ensure that your head is right.

Array Quotes
Normally, the thin-skinned have an endless array of excuses for why their workaday interactions are so much harder to bear for them than for the rest of us. In the eyes of the self-suffering, they are being victimised, used and always abused, when they're actually experiencing exactly the same body blows as the rest of us.

Abhorrent Quotes
The most obvious and condescending tell-tale sign that manipulation is taking place is that no one takes responsibility for the actions of the administration, its always some other department who is to blame and never the people who have authority, its always some nameless foot-soldiers, a few bad apples, when we all know that such excuses dont hold water, we know who gave the order for soldiers to engage in the abhorrent techniques of torture, we know who told subordinates in the corporation(s) to fudge the numbers and be creative, we know full well who makes these decisions. President Truman said, The buck stops here, now the buck effectively floats over many people never stopping anywhere, so theres no one to blame.

Busy Quotes
It really hasn't been much different except I haven't had any staff meetings, and I haven't had to make any decisions. But as far as everything else is concerned, I've been just as busy as I've ever been. I've probably done as many things as I've ever done, if not more, because I don't have enough excuses to say no.

Ability Quotes
It's personal. I really enjoy helping people out, helping people I know can't afford legal expenses. ... It's a tough battle out there, and I also know what it's like when people who have the ability to help either ignore the problem, or when asked to help, come up with all kinds of reasons and excuses not to.

Anyone Quotes
I'm so proud of our team, we've been through so much. I was proud we were able to come out and fight. We lost our leading scorer and our third- or fourth-leading scorer and we still came out and never gave ourselves any excuses from (the dismissal of Bob Huggins) to anyone getting kicked off the team. We never gave ourselves any excuses.
-
Across Quotes
I believe that figure is probably close, but still a little low. In the past, I have run across many excuses for an employer to hesitate or turn down an opportunity to provide training. Some include lack of budget; belief that this will not or does not occur in their work environment; and fear that a new awareness in employees will encourage rather than prevent lawsuits.

Biggest Quotes
You won't hear any excuses from Antonio about having to lose the weight like Roy did. Antonio is a professional and he knows what he has to do. He will be on the mark. He's going to have to work to get down but it is not anything that he is unaccustomed to. When we were talking about making this fight I said to him, 'Are you sure you want to work this hard and come down to 175?' and he said he wants the biggest out there and that Hopkins was the biggest one out there.
-
Front Quotes
You've got to be smart and your team has got to talk and you've got to adjust. We can make excuses about that but we have not improved that area. We have not kept people in front of us very well. It's something we've just got to keep working on and working on, because if we don't, you'll never be able to guard in this league.

Basis Quotes
The concerns are still there and they will continue, but people are willing to find good excuses to put money to work, like yesterday, with all the good earnings, ... Interest rates remain at historic lows, so even if they rise 50 or 100 basis points, if we keep seeing double-digit earnings growth each quarter, the earnings will outpace the higher rates.
