Final Quotations | Page 7

Karolina's a tough player, ... She's obviously playing with a lot of confidence right now, but I've also had some good results lately, so I'll be going into the final believing I can win.

Just to be able to go into Spring Training and know you have a chance to make the final team is something you look forward to. The first year going, you know you don't have a chance. To know it could be different this year and it could be your opportunity, it's just a matter of taking hold of it and going with it.

Just the fact that that Europe album 'The Final Countdown' came out in 1986 and 'Rad' came out in 1986... I'm starting to think that maybe 1986 is my favorite year, of all time!

Jose was a victim of an unfortunate accident and we all feel for him. He will get on with his rehabilitation as soon as the condition of his heel allows him to do so. We hope to have him back in time to help the team down the final stretch.

Jordan also believes all final status issues, including borders, refugees, Jerusalem and settlements, should be a matter for the parties to decide. I am encouraged by what I've heard from you today, sir, that these issues are not to be prejudiced and should be mutually agreed by the parties.

J.R. is a valuable member of this team and someone that we have hopes for. Our hope is that he continues to develop, continues to improve and is approaching this final stretch of the season with the objectives of making a difference and with the objectives of being a part of this team and helping it get better.

I talked to (agent) Gary Greenstin Sunday afternoon and he said they need another week - they need more time to make their final decision,

I think it does in a lot of people's eyes. To me, it is a lot more about the journey than the final destination.... But in a lot of people's eyes, it is the defining part of a career.

I think it is all over but the final act.

I think it is only natural that people have anxiety about the economy because the economy is real. It is their job, their ability to service their mortgage and look after their family. And in the final analysis, nothing is more important than your capacity as a breadwinner or an earner to provide for those that rely on you.

I think it changed the game. I think he was way ahead of his time. He caught the country by surprise the year he went to the Final Four. I think even after years he had all that success going to the Final Four, I think that it still took all of us a long time to catch up.

I think I saw our young team definitely improve. They made great strides. The turnovers were young turnovers. It is a shame we came so close and couldn't get over the final hurdle. The mistakes -- they were positive mistakes, aggressive mistakes. It is a learning experience.

I think in the world of The Chase, Jack recognizes that you have to make changes earlier in the year than you would in years past. We are dealing with a 26-race regular season instead of 36 races. Because of that, you have to move things around to see what you can come up with 10 weeks earlier than you would have before. But I think anyone who has really watched our race teams closely this year knows that we have run better than the final numbers might look.

It all started in his mind right after his wife went into the hospital. He started thinking about whether he really had the desire to keep going. We let him take a couple extra days just to make sure that was his final decision. He's not going to change his mind at this point.

It all rolls up and I think in the final analysis somewhere it's going to hit the consumer.

It came down to the final point. We were even down, 12-8 and 14-12 before rallying for the victory. Mt. Lebanon played an excellent match, but we came through at the end.

It bunched it up because everyone had to slow down. I got boxed out, but the final sprint is so long that it gives you a chance to recover your position. If it was shorter, I would have been like on the 15th wheel, but I was able to get back in the right position.

It betters us in the long run. If we wrestle those harder teams now and keep building up until the final then we are just getting better as a team. And that's what our goal is - to get better as a team.

It appears tobe a fantastic breakthrough, although history cautions us to reserve a final judgment in dealing with North Korea.

I think it's just our lack of concentration on that final pass, that final touch. Maybe it's adjusting to the new roles we have -- myself included -- playing out wide now (in the three-man attack). It's about knowing when to be out wide, and also knowing when to sneak into the middle to run at guys.

I think it's important that we honor these people. This is their final resting place, and just because someone wants to put a house or a bridge or a shopping center on top of it doesn't mean that you have the right to do that.

It could have been 5-5 or 6-6. We have got to take some of those chances. I would be more concerned if we were not creating the chances. We just need a bit more imagination in the final third.

It changed the momentum. But I don't know that it would have changed the outcome of the game. Last week in our section final (against Wayzata) we had two goals that they called off on us, and it didn't change the outcome.

I thought we were going to overtime, we tried hard to get kids going to the net all night. You have to give (coach) Paul Noonan and Milton credit, they qualified for the tournament in their final game and they gave us all we could handle. I hope it's a wake-up call.

It hurts to know that we are not going to be able to play next week in the Final Four.

It is absolutely essential for the legal system to evaluate every case on an individual basis in order to determine what the most beneficial custody situation would be, even if it sometimes goes against what is considered to be commonplace. After all, the final decision should always be what is truly in the best interests of the child.

It is a bittersweet moment for all of us at NBC to confirm that this will be the final season of the comedy Will & Grace .

It is a dream final for us. There are five million at home, and everyone will watch this game.

I think the offense was there, we just weren't able to finish our chances. We hit the post twice. We had one goal taken away. We've been around two years and that's the first game we've won in the final five minutes of a game.

I think the new rules raise the bars, but we're not sure how high. Their focus has been on making the final rules even less definite than the proposal they came out with last October. We only know what the rules mean when a case comes along and they go through it and analyze it.

I thought he did it all (last night). We came here last year and Corey was in foul trouble. He didn't play much but he did score the final eight points. I knew it was going to be a different story (last night).

I thought for our team it was a good way to simulate what it would be on the final day of the season.

I thought Aaron wrestled a very good match. The Bailey kid is the best wrestler in the nation, and Aaron was tied with him until the final 20 seconds. Wrestling kids of that caliber is why we come to these tournaments. It's a great experience and does nothing but make you better.

I think, your honor, you could say -- and this is not that different from what we have argued -- that as long as the manual recounts will not impair the final certification in time to permit the selection of electors by December 12, that those manual recounts must be included.

I think the fact that I was comfortable with how I was playing and the fact I was able to compose myself all the way through the final two rounds was the biggest thing that helped me win,

I think the final growth percentage for this year will start with a 1,

I think the closest game we've had all season was in the regional final to Libertyville at seven points.

I think the division race will come down to the final week.

I think the company went through an aggressive analysis of where they needed to be on staffing, and the final tally was little bit lower,

It is good news ... that the final resting place of those who made the ultimate sacrifice on the Somme battlefields will remain undisturbed,

I was a little bit tired at the beginning of the final set, so I started to drink (an energy drink) and always when I drink it I start to feel a little bit sick, ... I took too much and felt like I was going to burp, then yuk! It's very tough to go and hold your serve after taking a break as long as that but I got back on track.

It is something that was discussed today, but largely it's a question for the leadership as to when a final vote would occur.

I thought we did start off very well and did some nice things in the early half. I know we possessed the ball well but when we got in the final third we were not as dangerous as we needed to be.

I think we're a team of destiny. I really do feel that way because every senior on our team has been together since the sixth grade. And we all said in the sixth grade that we will be at the final four. And it just happened that way, and I feel like this is our year.

I think were asking a little too much to think about it having that kind of impact. But it's not going to do any damage whatsoever. It would be nice to see some effect from it. It's going to be a pretty important final month for Matt.

I think we're all curious how the final roster spots are going to play out, who is going to step into what roles. It makes for an exciting training camp to know jobs are available. The nucleus of our group is back. We should be able to pick up where we left off.

I think we knew that we were the underdogs, and I think that was a great position in which to be coming into a final game, and the guys were up for the challenge from the word 'Go!'. Even from the day before the match, we knew that if we played good cricket, we would come out with the Cup at the end of the day.

I think we have a good shooting team, even if we didn't shoot well (Friday). We know it's a different game when it comes to the Final Four. The arena is different. But it's different for everybody else, too.

I think we will be battling all the way through the final minutes of the 16th game of the year to determine where we play.

I think we were really focused last weekend. Hopefully we can carry that off one final weekend.

I think we've seen the final days for two years. He's made a valiant stab, but the ghosts of Agassi are lurking more every day.

I think we've learned about how we can win games here, and how we lose games. And going into the final eight games I think if we can control the turnovers and we can control penalties and always go out and play physical, we're going to be sitting pretty good at the end of the year.

I think what we'll be doing in (the final 20 episodes) would be that movie.

I think that Coach wants me to lead this team if at all possible. Obviously, as a coach, he has to make the final decision and he has to feel in his heart that he can believe in me and have no doubt that I can help our team win and lead this team. A lot of that has to do with my health.

I think being able to get to the Final Four four times is pretty nice. I feel very good about it. I know our team is going to be successful throughout my career so I don't feel the pressure of trying to win another game or win two more games. I know that we can.

I think anyone would like to win the way we did (Saturday) rather than going to the final shot. We worked hard and controlled the tempo.

I think at that point, down to final four, Trump was looking for a specific thing, ... He just couldn't find a way to articulate that when it came time to fire me.

I think Andrew got a bit tired cause it was his first tournament for about six months, so it was a very good effort to get to the final considering that preparation.

I think it was more internal. Sometimes people don't want to perform to the level they should be performing at for some reason. I've been thinking about it and your integrity is so important. When you go out there, no matter who's up or you're facing, you still have to go after them with the same intensity. In the final stage, that's where your integrity is going to be saved.

I think it's very, very doubtful there would be any kind of final status agreement in the time remaining,

I think it's very good for RIM and shows a real hesitance on the part of Judge Spencer to make a decision before the USPTO has reached a final decision on the remaining patents.

It happened really quick when we made the final decision . (But) there always was something in my gut, a red flag.

It had to be disheartening to Arapahoe and it is to their credit that they came back in the second game and actually had a chance to win it in the final points,

It has been difficult for him. He still has the desire to play. But he wants to weigh all of his options and make sure the final decision he makes is the final decision.

It has been a ridiculous three weeks in terms of my thought process. During all that time when the Final Four was going on, flying out to California, Hall of Fame, all of that, there was a lot going on personally for me where I'm trying to sort out how long am I going to do this? Where am I going to go from here? What else am I going to do?

I think this is the first time they really got to see him and be fair to him. I don't think they've been fair to him before. He's been unbelievable other times before, but then you get kicked out of the Olympics, you get kicked out of the World Cup - if you don't win anything, you don't get the same publicity and all that. So, just the fact he got to make that big shot in the final on the game-winning goal, that just made everything come true.

I think this is something that is going to go down in history. A lot of teams don't get the opportunity to even make it into the Tournament. Fortunately, we were able to make it to the Final Four. I'm happy we made it this far.

I think this creates further a credibility gap for the government, and it is certainly fortuitous this came out before final action is taken by Congress,

I think today the difference in the marathon today is people train more for the final 10K, the final miles of the marathon.

I think three weeks of doing this intensely is the right amount of time. This is the final building block in the process . . . the most powerful one.

I think (Tuesday) was the final decision. I'd been racking my brain, pulling my hair out (about whether to retire). I talked to some people in the game and my family, most importantly. It came to a head last night.

It is not only the final but we have lost to Turkish teams many times. . .we will have to get over it.

It is only prudent for the NTSB to consult with these experts and officials to fully evaluate this information prior to any final decision on whether the responsibility for this investigation should transfer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

I think that we have more confidence now because we got so far (last year). I think if we make the changes to the mistakes that we did the little things in the last regional final then we're going to be an awesome team.

I think that we wrestled pretty well overall. As far as the final round goes, we wrestled extremely well. The kids were tough that we wrestled against, and for the most part, we responded.

I think some of us came in overconfident, thinking we could just walk on the court and win. In the final four, it's not like that.

It is just one year since his pontificate entered its final phase, full of suffering and yet triumphant and truly paschal.

It is highly likely - virtually indisputable - that final decisions had not been reached as to any of the five defendants when these false notices were served.

It is much too soon to conclude that these concerns are behind us, ... We cannot yet be sure that the slower expansion of domestic final demand, at a pace more in line with potential supply, will persist.

It is in process and we are awaiting final approval from the organizing committee and the international federation.

It is impossible to have the final election results this week.

Last year I thought there was clearly separation after North Carolina and Illinois. It wouldn't surprise me (if all the top seeds exited before the Final Four).

Last year I said they were gonna make the Final Four. This year I know they're gonna make the Elite Eight, just because of the style that they play.

I was a bit nervous when to take it (the final power play). We got three wickets in that period where they probably went really hard and I think that was more significant than (what happened) at the end.

I will be very surprised if we're not represented in the Final Four. I think one or two teams could get through -- even three. Who knows? I think they'll be very seasoned.

I will be there to represent Steve. I promised I would see it through to the end, and this is the final thing for Steve.

I will enter the final week with tranquility, confidence and, above all, humility, ... I have a lot of respect for my rivals and, just like we saw when I fell last week, the race is never over until you reach Madrid.

I will reserve final judgment on the nomination, but I expect him to do very well,

I went to the final World Series game in 1979 with my grandmother and froze my butt off while Willie Stargell and the boys broke my heart.

I was just really nervous, really tight. I couldn't release myself, but I dug deep and actually thought about the 2003 final where I played so well.

I was kind of hoping it would come down to the final match. It makes it more fun. There's always a possibility I could lose, but I wasn't too afraid.

I think they have a lot of self confidence, because I would not take the first final at home.

I think they've got as good a chance as anybody in the Final Four.

I think they did a great job and have had a great season. They deserve to be in the final and will be a strong opponent.

I think these guys have done great things for the school and the community and I think everyone should come out and support them. We're on the brink of having a real special season. We're just two games away from the final four.

I think the media, it gets bigger and bigger with the Final Four.

It is a very significant spring conference, especially squeezing it in right before the Final Four.

It is amazing to think back on the new construction in Buttonwood Barn, the arrival of the new exercise equipment, and final preparations before we opened our doors the first week of 2004.

It is being considered. A decision on it has not been reached yet. We are going to consult on it now with President Olusegun Obasanjo. A final decision will be made this afternoon.

Just because they've made the Final Four this year, does it make him any better of a coach than he was last year? I don't think so. This puts him on a much bigger stage. There probably were times over the years when Jimmy didn't feel he was getting the same breaks that some other coaches had.
