O. Henry Bit Quotations

I was able to get into a little bit of a rhythm there. The biggest thing was getting ahead. Once I got ahead I could start to mix in off-speed stuff, keep them guessing and off-balance. In the first inning I'd be 2-0 and everybody in the park knew I was going to throw a fastball. Once I settled down it made things a lot easier.

It's a little bit early to say anything has failed. We have a long hot summer before you have a sense of what's going to pop up in terms of policy.

Homelessness is a horrible plight, especially for someone with a family. I have a great husband, great children who are healthy, doing well in school and are well adjusted. A lot has been given to me. I don't know why my life is so blessed and why others (that) work just as hard, for some reason, are not. I want to do what I can and I'm impressed with the integrity of Habitat for Humanity.

This was my birthday present. Winning the game was all I really wanted. It was a cutting fastball a little bit over the plate. It was a huge win after (Friday). We were real flat coming back from (playing) Dixie State. We needed a win to get us on a roll.

I have done a sketch show almost every year since I started in 1975. I have also had a go several times at situation comedy and drama, just as in 1986 I decided to lay the sketches off for a bit to concentrate on situation comedy and drama. I am NOT giving up comedy. I love doing stand-up comedy and characters.

Switzerland are not inferior to anyone. They played well against England. With a bit more luck, they could have scored early against England. It was very close and at 11 against 11 I though they played very well.

One goal against Rogers is never enough. We were in a little bit of a hole there (in the first half). But I thought we played better in the second half. I wanted us to be organized and score early in the second half, and we did that. A tough game like this will help us at state.

He's limping a bit but he'll be fine.

It's important that Arsenal has the same sporting ambition as me. Deep down I would love to win the Champions League.

I was upset when I heard the news, but you can't be mad because I have a bunch of great guys in front of me on the receiving corps. I'm sitting back and observing to see how things are out there in the regular season. I did notice that (the pace) picked up a little bit from the preseason.

I got off to a little bit of a rough start to say the least. There was a lot of excitement and adrenaline being my first opening day start. It reminded me of my high school basketball days when we used to bounce around in the locker room before a game. That was the feeling I had. It was fine once I settled down and let my defense work. It was back to the good old Henry.

They're so excited. Friday the goals got moved down there and they were all wanting to go down. They're very excited to get it open, to start playing on it. Because it plays a little different than even our football stadium. It's a little bit longer of a turf, so it's nice.

The point is to keep your distance. Rabies virus is serious. If a raccoon bites and runs off, we have to assume it is wild and the individual is placed in a treatment that may not have been necessary.

But the best, in my opinion, was the home life in the little flat--the ardent, voluble chats after the day's study; the cozy dinners and fresh, light breakfasts; the interchange of ambitions--ambitions interwoven each with the other's or else inconsiderable--the mutual help and inspiration; and--overlook my artlessness--stuffed olives and cheese sandwiches at 11 p.m.

It gives men courage and ambition and the nerve for anything. It has the colour of gold, is clear as a glass and shines after dark as if the sunshine were still in it.

By nature and doctrines I am addicted to the habit of discovering choice places wherein to feed.

I think it was somebody with too much time on their hands, and maybe they have a little bit of prejudice in their heart and just vented it.

I don't want to cause an argument or create trouble but I think it was a penalty. With a bit more luck on our side the referee would have made the decision.
