I have a lot of respect for them.

When I was in high school in the early 1970s, we knew we were running out of oil; we knew that easy sources were being capped; we knew that diversifying would be much better; we knew that there were terrible dictators and horrible governments that we were enriching who hated us. We knew all that and we did really nothing.

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.

Michael Feldman

When I was a kid, I hated being talked to as a kid.

So I always talk to kids as if they were a person.

Derek DelPorto

We're going to fight this battle and try to get this decision reversed. It wouldn't be in our blood to tuck our tails and not fight back.

We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together.

Randy Fletcher

When we went to the zone, we played well. I don't like to go to the zone, but we've been playing it and playing it fairly well. The one time we went to sleep and they came right up and hit a three. But, we sucked it up and caused some bad shots.

John Tesh

Eugene Hutz

What we're making isn't folk music, but savage intellectualism. We speak a language of a new world community that understands cultures can relate. So people who still speak of nationalism and racism or what separates us, they are inadequate for this time. Evolution goes on.

Ned Rifkin

What they were trying to do was to invent a new visual language for the 20th century. And what they did was they took the Renaissance window -- one point perspective illusion -- and it's as if they took a piece of glass over this painting and shattered it, creating all these fragments and planes. And then took those planes together and reassembled it.

Adam Mesurier

What they're likely to do is take away the mild and gradual language from the statement.

John Boehner

When we get to the conference with the Senate, we'll consider it, but the Senate language, I think, is irresponsible,

Carl Maria von Weber

What love is to man, music is to the arts and to mankind.

Jamie Dixon

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

Joe Hudak

We've always played well here. We're a good club, and I think we're trying to show we can play with other good clubs. We're certainly not intimidated.

Jamie Dixon

We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.

Todd Parker

We've always played hard, but as of late we seem to be executing better on offense, being more patient and getting the ball where we need to get it. Our quickness allows us to create some mismatches.

Pat Ambrose

When we were patient on offense and got a good shot, we did well. When we played too fast and didn't get a good shot, we let Zion back into the game. Benny did a real nice job for us. He wanted to win.

Jeff Halpern

When we weren't in the box, I thought we played pretty well.

Dick Umile

When we were down 2-0 tonight, we were playing pretty well. The third goal was not very well played by us. The kid was out front all by himself. We dug ourselves a hole, that?s the disappointing part.

Odell Thurman

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

Lucas Black

I've never been one to throw clubs, break clubs, or use bad language on the golf course. I've played with golfers who've done that, and I really hate to see it. If I did something like that, my dad would come get the putter and hit me upside the head with it. I knew better.

Lexi Thompson

I've always used a mallet putter on tour. I get too much face rotation with a blade.

Lee Trevino

I will fall in love with any golf course that you have to drive the ball straight. You understand what I'm saying? That's my advantage. My advantage wasn't putting. In fact, I wasn't even a great putter or a good putter.

He drives it great, hits his irons really well. When he gets that putter rolling, he can really put up some good numbers.

Ian Poulter

I feel like taking my putter into the car park and giving it a right good thrashing.

When I was in Pittsbugh, I was basically worried about how many times the ball would be thrown my way,

David M. Kelley

Cody Franson

When it come down to it on most nights it is about the player and the teams that work the hardest and not so much a chess match of strategy. Composure is key to playing defense and you cannot allow others to get under your skin and throw you off your game.

We're mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted right now. The stress -- we had players waking up and throwing up.

Don Marshall

We're so excited to be able to provide this kind of experience for both the community and visitors to the Chattanooga area.

It's going to be incredible!

Bill Griffith

We're going to throw the football. We're hoping our team speed helps us get past those 300-pounders.

I got the math one. But you didn't put it on a letter sweater and wear it around because they'd be throwing you in a wastebasket upside down on your head.

Kenneth More

I am the reassurance that they have not changed. In an upside down world, with all the rules being rewritten as the game goes on and spectators invading the pitch, it is good to feel that some things and some people seem to stay just as they were.

Kenneth More

In an upside down world, with all the rules being rewritten as the game goes on and spectators invading the pitch, it is good to feel that some things and some people seem to stay just as they were.

Mike Workman

What we're running into is that teams are really preparing for her. That brings added pressure on her, but on the upside it's made her a better player. She's been our main scorer over the past couple of years (averaging 16.2 points last season to earn Division II honorable-mention all-district honors).

Safa Rashtchy

We believe Yahoo!'s stock has significant upside in it, given its inflection point in revenue and margin growth, Yahoo!'s increasing market share and the conservative guidance.

Stephen Levy

We ... believe this removes the potential for one of the most important sources of significant upside to our revenue projections, which is the key factor in our investment recommendation.

Leo Kiely

We believe this partnership with FEMSA will strengthen Kaiser's overall position in the Brazilian market. By maintaining a minority ownership interest and the possibility of launching Coors Light in Brazil, we expect to continue to participate in the upside we see in the Kaiser business and the Brazilian beer market.

John Davidson

What's limiting us on the upside is the double-digit gains we saw in 2003. What limits us to the downside is that the economy continues to strengthen, although concerns about the job market persist.

Rod Marinelli

We're going to coach this guy real hard. Off of film, you can see all the upside to him -- tremendous upside.
