Age Quotes
At the age of nine, I could cross the length of Glasgow on a succession of buses, wearing regulation garter-topped stockings and compulsory cap and - if I'd done well enough to earn the honour in last week's test - with a First World War medal on a striped ribbon pinned to my brown blazer. I must have looked like a chocolate soldier.

Advantage Quotes
When you're a little more clear, definitive and concrete about what you think may well happen, and what you may have to do as a result, it will be easier for people to point out when you aren't right. One advantage of never being pinned down on whether things are going up, down or unchanged is that it's hard to say when you're wrong.

Concerned Quotes
I did not want to meet my queen in a wheelchair. I was on two canes, and I managed to follow the protocol, two steps back, curtsy, two steps forward, curtsy again. The queen pinned the medal on and was concerned about how I was recovering. It was a wonderful honor I will never forget.

Bald Quotes
He felt so horrible. It actually hurt. He was pulling something else away from me, and he couldn't feel anything. That wig was really pinned in. Not to mention that in my wig cap I looked like I was bald on the Broadway stage. He bought me a little cactus with a cactus flower on it the next day.

Examining Quotes
Kyle's, for instance, would've happened in a swimming pool. The way that thing got pinned and turned had nothing to do with the turf whatsoever, ... What we're examining very closely, quite frankly, are the shoes. The players all want, just like the padding, as little a shoe, as light a shoe, as fast a shoe as they can get. But the shoe also is a very strong support mechanism for the foot.

Anybody Quotes
That was one of those deals where you cannot relax in a match and that's what happened. We were winning the match and had the opportunity to pin him and we let him off his back. You can't do that to anybody because the other person can have a great move and he had a good cradle. He put Phillip on his back and pinned him. I guarantee Phillip won't do that again.

Acoustic Quotes
We began like any other borderline awful local garage band aspiring to impress the ever-feared and revered local promoters. Handing out fliers just wasn't converting to any new faces at the shows, so we started playing our acoustic guitars outside every concert, high school, and college campus. We had something like a colonel's map of schools and addresses and times pinned on the wall, and every day we'd attack a different locale.
-
Determination Quotes
When (Point Determined) came to me, he pinned his ears and dug in like I thought he would. And he is a very, very versatile horse. I don't think he has to be up there close where he was today. I was four or five behind, just tracking them, and he was doing it all on his own. I could not have been more pleased with the way he was traveling underneath me. He was relaxed. I really think the sky is the limit with this horse. I'm excited.

Certain Quotes
We're not looking to hire somebody until maybe the end of January, early February. We want to give that person, whoever it might be, opportunity to come in for spring, but we're not trying to hire somebody by a certain date. We've not pinned ourselves down to something of that nature.
-
Aggressive Quotes
Early in the semifinal round, we lost a little bit of wind. When (eventual runner-up Shawn Beard of West pinned eventual third-place finisher) Kenny Palmer in a semifinal, that took a little wind out of our sails, but we still came back to put 13 guys in the final round. I told the guys they had to be aggressive (going into the final round), and I think we might have been a little too aggressive a couple times.
-
Coming Quotes
Coming into this season, my goal was to win district and regions. I would like to win states and if I finish lower than fourth I will be real disappointed. Last year at states, I lost to a guy who is now ranked first in my weight class. I pinned my next opponent and then lost to finish 1-2.
-
Bad Quotes
It was a controversial match. He had Smith pinned and didn't get the call. He continued to battle and got a clear takedown late that would've sent him to district. But he didn't get that call, either. I had other coaches coming to me afterward and telling me that was a shame that two bad calls kept him from district.

Basically Quotes
Clearly trading here in the month of May feels more like August. But bottom line here, yes, we are, we're pinned in by interest rate uncertainty; we're pinned in by the Fed meeting coming up at the end of June. Obviously with those two things hanging over our head, the bottom line is the market really hasn't been taking a position on either side of the coin. In the last two weeks, we've basically been trading -- I can't believe this -- in the 10 percent range on the Nasdaq. But that's what it's been.

Career Quotes
He already owns the career wins record with 123. I haven't had a chance to total things up yet, but by the time the season is over, I think he will own just about every record we have. He's got 28 pins this season and pinned all five of his matches on Saturday. He's got some pretty lofty goals about placing in state this year and if he keeps on the path he's on now, those are very reachable goals.

Challenged Quotes
These guys pinned their ears back and got after it. I kind of challenged these guys before we walked out there. I said, 'Let's make a name for ourselves on defense. Our offense has just been so great over the last few years. People say this defense is not comparable, but this was a first step to disproving that.
