We grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. Paige was really good at breaking horses. But one day this horse took off up a hill, and then it came charging down the hill bucking. Paige was yelling at me, 'Help me. Get in front of it. Get in front of it.' I just stood there laughing until he got bucked off. He was so mad, he chased me around the ranch all day, but he never caught me. Now that he's here, I am so proud, and I know we'll help each other all the time.

I was at that World Cup, coaching the Netherlands, and I heard somebody yelling, 'Skip, Skip, Skip!' at me in a thick accent. It was this big Russian kid named Igor who was in the Dodgers camp for a while. He didn't make it, but he could pound the ball pretty good.

Ernie Whitt

He has filled out the paperwork that he does want to play. I'm sure the Dodgers have some concerns about that. Naturally, we're hoping that he's healthy and that he wants to play. And if that's the case, that's great. We would definitely welcome him on the staff.

Johnny Podres

He gave me a lot of confidence. I remember after the sixth game, Whitey Ford beat us and I said to Pee Wee Reese, 'Don't worry. I'll shut them out.' I was just kidding. But I didn't feel there was any pressure on me. If I beat them, great. If not, I wasn't supposed to, anyway. They were the Yankees. I slept good the night before. The Yankees probably figured I couldn't do it again and the Dodgers had never beaten them, so they weren't worried. Neither was I. There was no pressure on me.

Gary Carter

He loves to pitch in, and you could tell the Dodgers hitters weren't able to swing. I want to be able to call a Pelfrey into my office four to five starts from now to say, 'Hey, you're going to the big leagues.' That's what it's all about.

Jerry Angelo

When we drafted Mike we were in a different scheme. We were the antithesis of what we are now. Now is that to exonerate him not playing because of the scheme? No. Part of it, he needed to get better at certain things, but he didn't. He's got the tools. We got into the third year and we didn't see a big advance.

John Schuerholz

When we drafted Jeff Francoeur, (scouting director) Roy Clark said, 'This guy's going to be a star,'

Bill Cowher

When we drafted Hines we didn't envision this. He has turned out to be a special, special player.

Doug Wilson

When we drafted him, people said he was probably the most ready for the NHL. But that to me was a bonus. It wasn't something we factored into when we decided to pick him. But he obviously played against men last year and played in the World Championships for the Czech team, and the thing that impressed me when he came in this summer is that he tested like a man in his physical testing. It transfers over to his game on the ice. He's a very mature player.

Jerry Angelo

We feel that the history of (Benson's) position as a rookie bodes well (for learning fast), and that was partly why we did what we did on draft day, too.

Jerry Dunlap

We're extremely proud of what he's accomplished so far. If he were to get drafted that would just be added excitement to everything that he's accomplished. You just hope for the best. He played in one of the top conferences in the nation and was a starter. He's a very intelligent young man and works hard. He has all the factors of what it takes. I think he's also got an upside to him where he's continuing to develop. He definitely hasn't peaked with his potential. I think he has room to grow as a football player.

Natalie Cole

Mario J. Molina

When I was in elementary school, I was very interested in science already. I must have been ten or eleven years old. I started experiments with chemistry sets at my home in Mexico. I was able to borrow a bathroom and convert it to a laboratory. My parents supported it. They were pleased. My friends just tolerated it.

Mary Roach

When I was a kid, I hated everything. I was really skinny, and I'd have a milkshake with an egg in it. Growing up, I ate, like, five different foods. I was not an adventurous eater. But as soon as I left home, that all changed and from that point on, I've been a pretty enthusiastic eater of new and strange food.

Tim Saunders

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.

Will Holman

We've asked management that question (when a new contract would be imposed) and they haven't given us an answer. It could be immediately or they could use it for additional leverage at the bargaining table.

We've asked a lot of him being a young player. ... He's been asked to come in and play a major role in a hurry, but he's a very mature kid and he takes coaching terrifically.

Gene Johnson

We've always tried to have a good mix of stuff on our albums -- something that's fun, something that's very radio friendly, something that's going to touch someone's heart, maybe even something that's pop influenced. More than ever, on the 'Completely' album, we wanted to show more than one musical side of Diamond Rio.

Shawn McDowell

We've always thought this senior class had the physical skills, it was a matter of them jelling together as a unit. A year can make a big difference both mentally and physically and the kids have really matured.

Rich Miller

We've always said that's probably the widest mound in the league ? and maybe all of baseball. I really think the mound is too wide. That ball by Heintz was hit hard and then it hit the side of the mound. But that's not what lost us the game.

Kris Janowski

We've always said that fear is the main problem. And that needs to be allayed.

John Paquette

We've always said part of the reason for the repeat matches is for television.

Richard Foreman

We've always respected Israel's right to defend itself, including going after armed groups and armed men in some of these areas. But we've always said they need to do that in a manner which has the utmost care to avoid harm to civilians, particularly when they're conducting operations in heavily populated areas. And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

William Shakespeare

I have pursued her, as love hath pursued me

Mitchell Baker

I would have pursued Roy Williams all out because he's a great coach. But knowing his love for Kansas, I think the only way we had a shot is because he was a North Carolina grad.

Thomas P.M. Barnett

China's headlong rush to industrialize was pursued with the most Marxist of prejudices - bending nature to man's will. That's a desperately hard trick to pull off when one fifth of humanity, having previously subsisted on 7 percent of the world's freshwater supply, decides that it wants to instantaneously increase its caloric intake.

Sharon Stone

I really get pursued by men in their 20s, like, a lot. They probably know there's food in the fridge and that somebody's going to talk to them and ask them how their day was.

Ned Riley

We're going to see more of the same for the next few weeks, unless something comes in that indicates a pick-up in activity in the economy or on the corporate level,

Kevin Blanshan

What we're looking at is about a 30 percent reduction in both programs per year. There isn't a lot of new money there to consider new projects, unless some of the other ones drop out.

What this is for is (to express) what you want to see the town of Wesson like in the next five years, 10 years.... But we can't get your ideas unless you're there.

Bertrand Russel

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

Mike Simpson

What I advise clients is, sell, pay the tax and be happy. Don't ask me to find a replacement unless it's land.

Susan Hofer
