Road Quotations | Page 2

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song.

Tony is a true American racer. You can put him in any car on any track, and he'll be fast. He's good on the short tracks, the intermediate tracks, the restrictor-plate tracks and the road courses.

We're going to shortly confirm the A1GP and the July Road America events.

We're going to see some very hard weather, probably until mid-afternoon. People need to stay indoors and off the road until it's all clear.

We're going to go at it (Wednesday) without trying anything new. I think if we ever get to that point where we play them down the road we'll probably have a few other things that they haven't seen.

What we're seeing here is a cake walk compared to what people on I-45 are experiencing, ... There are people who have been on the road idling so long they ran out of gas.

When we got everybody out we had men at the end of each road to make sure nobody got in because everyone's home and business was wide open to thieves,

When we go down that road it will be in a dignified manner. It would be ludicrous for people to think we are going to storm whatever barriers are put up.

When we flew in from a road trip, my son would be at the airport, and he would gravitate immediately to Earl. Earl just had that teddy bear quality about him.

We would relentlessly try to tackle the militants and keep Bangladesh on the road to progress and prosperity,

We would rather be closer to home with our fans, but our fans will make it over there. We love road trips.

What helped us get the road win is we kept our poise. There were definitely some times where we made some questionable plays, but I think we kept our head and kept playing hard, and that's what gave us the win.

What happens is there's an increase down the road in the number of people who end up in emergency rooms and hospitals. The cost to the system is actually more. It's the equivalent to what happened to the levees in New Orleans.

We found out that one address was the source of 200 police calls in one year. That property was public enemy No. 1. When the city went inside, they found an illegal auto repair shop, mattresses in a storage section of the building that had condoms and needles all over them. We got the building emptied out, the city used Community Development Block Grant money to buy it and now it's on the road to demolition. The end of the tunnel is near.

We felt like before the season started, leaving out all the injuries, we felt like we were going to be a pretty good team. We started out slow due to injuries. It kind of set us back a little bit. But winning that home game (against the Boston Celtics), then going on a six-game road trip, that was either going to make us or break us. It was really going to determine our season. We were hungry, and we were really confident and went 5-1.

We broke (the road losing streak) without the big guns.

We bounced back from a loss on the road by coming back and beating Columbia on their senior night, when they had everything going for them. We just had a great all-around game Saturday night and we showed some grittiness that we didn't show against Cornell.

What's kind of been lost is that those professional users like to listen to tunes, too, ... Now, they can use their digital recorder to listen to MP3 tunes on the road and they don't have to carry two devices.

We're going to have to win some games on the road if we're going to get in the playoffs.

We're going to have to play a road game in the state playoffs, and that's the type of team we're going to have to beat.

We're going to have to evolve into a good road team. Right now we're not. We weren't at Marquette at least. (Tonight) will hopefully be the first step in that direction. And it is a highlight game.

We're going to have to develop into a good road team. Right now we aren't. We weren't at Marquette, at least.

We?re going to have to develop into a good road team. Hopefully, this will be the first step in that direction.

We're going to have to be road warriors from here on out.

We're motivated to keep this up because we want home-court advantage, after losing Game 7 on the road at San Antonio last year. That will help us get back to being champions.

With the mission to Mars, the whole world wants to get involved. So we actually have 13 different space agencies from around the world working on the global exploration road map.

With them closing the road like this, basically without giving anybody any notice, it's almost like they wanted to avoid pressure from the neighborhood public there. If they would have announced this a couple of months ago, people would have started complaining - and they might not have gotten their project done.

We feel confident going on the road as we do anywhere else. We've got to get something done. We haven't done it yet. We're disappointed in ourselves and we've got to get back on it.

We feed off our fans all the time, whether it's coming in late from a road trip, or in the middle of a long homestand. We always feed off our fans. I think they know that. They're a very important part of the way we play. Obviously, we have to go out on the field and get the job done, but they're always a huge part of us winning ballgames.

We faced a lot of tough teams on this road trip. But we changed a lot of things before this game and played better defensively. We had better control of the puck. It's like we started from scratch. I've seen the changes, I think we can turn this thing around. We've got most of our guys back (from injury). Hopefully this was the start.

We express our appreciation to the French Government and the four toll road companies for the grant.

We feel that is going to make us a lot more competitive down the road as we come up again harder teams. They are going to have to worry about Laurel hitting and setting, Morgan setting, the ball coming over on maybe a second hit. We didn't see that last night, but we did in the scrimmage. It is just a lot different. I was happy with our performance (Tuesday), but there is room for improvement.

We're extremely busy all the time. We've got six agents that work full-time doing these cases. They're on the road literally every day, in various parts of the state, conducting these investigations,

We're expecting a lot of road damage. I don't know about bridge damage.

We're getting hit with more larcenies and home invasions and we have to get more people on the road to stop it, ... We have to adjust the shortages created by the budget cuts and hiring freeze.

We're focusing on life-safety issue. But at the same time this could be an annoying problem. We get complaints about blocking the road and about the debris on sites.

Through life's dark road his sordid way he wends; an incarnation of fat dividends

We're really focusing on the total community picture, where residents can walk from home to the stores and back. We want to make sure we're not overburdening the already overburdened road system.

We're really excited to have such an experienced and talented road course racer added to our team for the Sonoma and Watkins Glen races, ... He was the best driver available to us and we couldn't be happier that his schedule allowed him to be able to participate in both races. Along with Scott Dixon and Ryan Briscoe, we expect the Target Team to be the team to beat out there for these two road course races. We had a strong showing at the first street race in St. Petersburg. We're hoping the addition of Giorgio will help us turn the corner in that department and get to victory lane.

We're really appreciative of the residents in that Boothby Road to Sea Road area and for the KBIA (Kennebunk Beach Improvement Association) for allowing us to utilize their property as well. And we really depend on volunteers so a large thanks goes out to them as well.

We're really a family before we are a band. Being a band and all, that's just a plus, we're that close. We'll be on the road for months at a time and then we'll be home and we'll see each other the next day and it's like we never saw each other.

We're real confident right now. We can win in any kind of game, up-tempo games, grind it out games, on the road games especially, which we were able to capitalize on this year. It's showing how much our team has grown.

With the road games that we have had, especially playing at Texas, we know the magnitude that it's going to be and we just have to make sure we pull together as a team. It's something that, when you have thousands of fans screaming against you, that the 11 or 12 of us need to pull together. We are going to show that we will come together and be a wall to have to deal with.

With the quality of this league from top to bottom, you are never going to back your way into success. I felt as if we were just trying to hold on, thinking that that we were going to back our way into a road win in the Big East Conference. It's not going to happen.

With the NBA scheduling, a lot of times it puts the onus on teams traveling. You play Utah one night and a team like Phoenix is resting and waiting for you the next night. That's tough. So you run into some circumstances like that more, it seems, on the road than you do at home.

We knew with our defense keying on the inside that we would give up some open threes but they hit three in a row. On the road it seems like we always have one bad quarter. We've got to get consistent and get four good ones.

We knew what we could do in our hearts, but we still had to go out and play each one of those games. We went and won seven in a row. We did what everybody said we couldn't do. We took the scenic route. We went and visited everybody's city and played on the road. They said, 'No way they could have all these games on the road and continue to win.' You know what? When you play football like we play at that point in time, and just execute like we're doing, we feel like we can beat anybody.

We knew they weren't going to run out of gas any time. Big East road wins, this is how they are every game. It doesn't matter who you're playing or what their record is.

We know what the solution is - raise the road about 18 inches. That fix could be done in one work week.

We know, we need to win the ones at home and ride out the ones on the road and see what happens.

We know we have to play better at home, but overall we need to play better. We're going on a long road trip next week, and these two games at home are very important. We have to defend our home ice and bring a lot of energy to these two games.

With troops in combat, the Congress has a non-negotiable obligation to weigh in heavily on the side of immediate and near-term needs of the military, particularly the Army. In some cases, this means cutting funds from pie-in-the-sky programs that may work out down the road and funding things that we know work today.

With this team we're cautiously optimistic. It's basically the same team from last year . . . so we're expecting them to do a little bit better than we did last year. But we have a tough road ahead, especially in our district.

Would've preferred to get one more point (in a 3-2 shootout loss to St. Louis Monday) but I think coming off a tough month -- nine of 13 on the road -- I think that we did a good job and stuck with it.

Would I have been better off as a teacher in Ireland or Spain? It's a very difficult question to answer. You take the road and you travel along it. I probably would do the same thing again.

We're still monitoring the Bunker Hill Road situation. We want to make sure Hereford students and motorists are safe.

We're still kind of kicking ourselves for those two losses at home. But we got two really big wins on the road and now we've got to go back and defend our home court, like we usually do.

We're still having squeaky-type games but we've pulled them out in the end. It's been tough to score goals, especially when you're playing on the road but we were pretty opportunistic tonight.

We're starting to run out of games. We have to win some here to close that gap, get our road record up. That's been our downfall all year.

We're seeing now waves of up to and beyond 6 feet, and the water is continuing to rise and coming over the road at the docks area,

We're road warriors, it's just what you've got to do. We've got a positive group. No matter the situation, we've always hustled.

We've got half of it done. But we've got Derby (on the road Thursday) and that will be a tough game.

We've got big wins. I think we've proven ourselves in that way. We just have got to make sure that we can get key road wins for contention. We want to win a Big Ten title.

We've got a tough road ahead of us, but we've played good against guys like that, ... and we owe Oswalt a beating.

We've got a tough road ahead here in January. We got Bolingbrook and Trinity coming up and you've got to be ready.

We've got a really tough road but if we win those three I think we can get the No. 1 seed in the district.

We've got a pretty robust product road map.

We've won 15 of the last 26 Ivy league tournaments. So the girls have been down this road before, they're battle-tested and ready to go.

We've tried to discuss that about giving the defensemen a chance to maybe help out our goaltenders a little bit more. Listen, these new rules, it doesn't mean they're perfect. They're good, we need to adjust to them and hopefully down the road we'll make some small adjustments to them.

We have to handle the road and crowd.

We have to go on the road against No. 2 (Cal Irvine) but first is tomorrow night. We have to make sure we're playing better each night. That's who will come out on top, who's playing better at the end.

We have to get a team that represents what our standards are. On the road trip and the Boston game prior to that, we represented ourselves well. In the last two games we have given very, very little to the game, to each other and to the organization.

We have no real clue of the magnitude of this win. Maybe years down the road when the Seahawks are perennial contenders for the Super Bowl, it might not be such a big deal, but right now, this is the biggest game ever in this organization's history.

We have no choice. We're in a position where we have to stop looking down the road and start to focus on one game at a time and getting better.

We have so many other areas with road and drainage needs, I have a problem with that. I've been working day and night to get Somerset Lane and Pine Avenue paved. You get to the north end of Pine Avenue and it looks like a Third World country.

Whenever you have exposure to a major road or interstate, those are always your best performing golf courses.

We were better than the Marlins last year. We were supposed to battle them to the end, but we had no wind left in our sails because of our schedule. Twenty-two extra road games beats you down.

We were as prepared as we could be for the rainfall with the road barricades, having them ready. There's nothing we can do to hold the rain back, we just deal with it when it gets here.

We are going to hit the smaller cities on road after the release of the new album.

This was as dead as we've been in a month. I don't remember us playing this poorly. We had no work ethic. Their workers controlled the hockey game. Our goaltender was outstanding, but when you go on the road and allow almost 50 shots on goal, it's not good.

We are not aware of any more sink holes. However, that is why we must inspect each drainage area to see if the road has been undermined in any additional areas.

We are here for a reason. We honestly feel they are the favorite but we are not a stepping stone for them. They are not going to step on us. We are a road block to the state title and they have to go through us.

We did look at the powder blue road uniforms, but this time we did not go that far. I receive a lot of e-mails and calls about bringing back the power blues.

We did have a couple sheets of petitions circulating for people living on the road nearby. I feel 60 horses is a lot for that property. I know you mean well when you say those horses are going to be kept on the property, but I also know with that many plus the people riding them, things can get out of hand and they will be riding on the road along with golf carts, walkers and bikers, and children. It would be dangerous.

We did enough to get out of here with a road win, which was huge for us. I was real pleased with our effort and I thought we played really great defense.

We designed this car to run for a long time, at road courses, short tracks, intermediate-sized tracks all the way to Daytona. You would be able to run the same foundation car, the frame, the cage, the body, all of the components that today are being swapped around as the cars are purpose-built for certain types of tracks. We're eliminating that with this car.

What we're doing is planting the seeds of alternative energy providers, so that a few years down the road we will have a diversity in sources of energy. That's a far better position for an institution to be in than to be stuck with not many sources and sources that cause a lot of pollution and environmental problems.

What we plan to do with that money is fund our state highway new-construction program for the next 10 years. So, there's a lot of debate about the use of that money. And, of course, there's some debate about leasing the toll road itself.

There is a road that turning always / Cuts off the country of Again. / Archers stand there on every side / And as it runs Time's deer is slain, / And lies where it has lain.

There is a road standard and developers must build to that standard.

There are no experts out there willing to testify that because these guys are testing negative now that they will continue to test negative. The jury is still out and will be out for a long time as to whether these people are disease free. It might be five, 10, 15 years down the road before we know whether they'll continue to test negative.

There are some people I can't send an email to. At home, I have Road Runner as an ISP, and wasn't even able to remotely connect in order to manage our servers.

There are some people I can't send an e-mail to, ... At home, I have Road Runner as an ISP, and wasn't even able to remotely connect in order to manage our servers.

The only way to find out if an alternative road works is to set out in that direction. The only way to reverse the decline in living standards is for the labor movement to be bigger and stronger.

The only time the Department of Justice asks for a stay is because it is going down the road of returning an indictment.

We're playing a team that beat us, 22-0, last year. I don't think we're going to get complacent. The game will be in their house, it'll be our first road trip, and we'll be ready to play.

We're playing as well as we have all year. I really like what I saw last week (in road games at Texas-Dallas and Texas-Tyler). Everybody was on top of their game. Hopefully, we didn't peak a week early.

We've been hovering pretty much around .500 all season. There's no excuse for us that when these five games are over we shouldn't be two or three games above .500. Having said that, I think we all know the importance of this five-game stretch before we hit the road before the break is over with. It's a great opportunity for us.

We really enjoy as a team the time that we spend together, just coaches, players hanging out. We always get that on the road. There is an enjoyment to being on the road for us and that's what Minneapolis will be like. We think we're even tighter on the road. We're going to really take advantage and enjoy that.

We're absolutely in favor of tolls on I-73 if that's what it takes to get the road built as quickly as possible. I-73 is incredibly important to the future of the Grand Strand.
