Drove Quotations | Page 5

As Mother Nature turned kinder this past week, demand for Easter merchandise and Spring-related items finally drove sales.

Abigail Adams just goes on and on and on about the presence of Washington, about what it was like to be around him, which I'm sure drove her husband just crazy.

About 20 minutes later, the suspects drove by and took one shot at them.

(According to those who drove the slave ship), if we lose 25 to 50 percent of 'cargo,' we could make money.

It seems like whenever you walk a guy late like that, especially a speed guy, he ends up scoring. We had some opportunities early, but Drew drove in both runs with two two-out hits to beat us, and that's the name of the game.

It was the closest Super Bowl venue to Pittsburgh. That drove prices up, with people from Pennsylvania buying 300 times more tickets from our Web site than people from Washington.

It was a really cool experience and the film looks like it will be good. I had a couple of lines and even drove a Mini Cooper in the film.

It was a tough day. We started off OK, but it seemed like we could never get the car to handle the way we wanted it to. I probably drove more defensively then I should have, but that's what I wanted to do this first race run the race and finish.

it was a woman who drove me to drink, come to think of it I never did hang around to thank her for that''Hey lady! do I look all blurry to you? 'Cause you look blurry to me!'

It was an awesome game. We tied the game at 52-52 with eight seconds to go, but they (the Indians) drove the length of the floor and missed a shot. They grabbed the rebound and tossed it back in at the buzzer.

It was a story of two different markets. The U.S. market was flat to nothing, the Canadian market was flying, and it's our darling stocks again -- Northern Telecom and BCE. Canadian technology was really what drove the market here. The story continues for Bell and Nortel.

It's a fourth place, but it's almost like a win. We got in a huge hole the first day here with problems, but every member of this team kept digging and got us out of the ditch. I really can't say enough about their efforts. With the door problem at the end, Andy (Wallace) drove like crazy to keep his position. The handling of the car had to be just terrible, but he (Andy) put in a monstrous stint.

It's true. He had this. He drove this Rolls-Royce. He chose to change up. It is what it is.

It's not like a challenge to the Stones, but more of a revision, ... Tim was playing this riff and he needed it to feel sleazy and dark, and I was trying to figure out what it was about. I remembered the time Tim and I first made a concerted effort to write songs together five or six years ago when we took a week off and drove to New Hampshire. I remember on this 18-hour car ride, being way over-caffeinated and buzzing, I realized that I was trying to figure out if you would know if you were the devil. I got Tim to quit his job for a week and go to this cabin, which seemed like the sort of thing the devil would do.

Follow-through interest in select blue chips and China-related stocks drove the benchmark index up. Funds kept chasing these stocks after the market broke through the 16,000 points level.

It's the same old stalwarts that drove the market in 2005 and have kicked off the year for 2006.

It's the strength of exports that drove earnings in the fourth quarter. We saw extraordinary demand from regions such as the Far East, Eastern Europe and Russia.

It's their physical plant and the way it's laid out that drove them to that decision. Based on cost per homes passed, it's also more economical right now. It's not locked in stone, and this merger could have an impact.

It just baffled me and drove the business types crazy. The stuff that OFAC was doing was important and made a big difference to their businesses, particularly if they got caught in the wrong place.

It looks like she drove farther south and then turned around when she realized she had gone too far.

It looks now as if Rita is not going to go through the main refinery region. Because all these plants have closed for precautionary reasons there have been problems with gasoline supply, which drove prices higher yesterday. Still, it looks as if there's not going to be so much damage to the bigger refining sites.

It's going to be key for Coco and I to get on base. (Ramirez and Ortiz) have shown throughout their careers that they hit well with men on base and men in scoring position. They drove in, what, 140 runs last year? That's a lot.

It shows me he doesn't budge on lefties. He stands in there. Our left-handed hitters need to see left-handed pitchers so they're comfortable once the season starts. He stayed right in there. I think it was an 11-pitch at-bat. The 11th pitch, he drove it. That's what I want to see.

Dan drove like a champion, again, as he has all year long.

Dale Jr. and somebody got together and shot up in front of me and I got into the back of them. My brakes locked up and the impact crunched the nose in. The Army car never drove the same after that. It was a pretty frustrating deal to have a car drive that good and then all of a sudden get wounded. For a while we had an easy top-10 car.

The next thing I knew there was meat and trailers all over the ground. I drove over it. I drove over the meat. I was trying to stop....

Then, it wasn't a Finals atmosphere, but he went up against Bruce Bowen, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and he gave Bruce fits. Al wasn't one of those guys to play with the ball. He caught it and shot it or caught it and drove it and shot it. Not many people could stop him.

Even when I was in the lead, I was getting too close to the wall, trying to make up time. I drove like I stole it.

That's the best defense without fouling -- as physical a game as I thought it was -- that we've seen. We drove the ball inside almost every trip down the floor and we shot foul shots six times. That's pretty good guarding to me.

Everybody knows who had the best car here today, ... There wasn't anybody who was going to beat us. Jeff Gordon got the trophy, but he wasn't going to beat us. We had the best car. All you have to do is get the lap times. They could run with us for 15 or 18 laps, but we always drove away. That's the positive thing that we ought to take away from today.

The attacker carried the bomb in a motorcycle and detonated when he drove to the parking area of a military training center. Nine including five Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed, and 28 others injured,

That hurt me - that's what drove me into depression where I didn't care. Once I saw my grandmother and him, I lost all of what I had in me. I said, 'He's the reason she looks like that.' I'm still not out of it. I get real disturbed at night. Imagine this person you came out of the womb looking up to. It's just tough, man.

That has kind of the story of our defense all year. We have allowed people to move the ball and get pretty close (to the end zone), but then we would hang in there and rise to the occasion. They drove down near the goal line and then we came up with the turnover. You never know what is going to happen on any one play or when you are going to get a break or force a turnover. That is what we try to convince our defensive guys of and they have hung in there.

That is what opened the door and drove us to be insistent that there was more to the story than what the Air Force said.

Tad took the ball out of bounds and gave it up to me, which, he was the best player in the state and he gave it up, so that said what kind of player he was. No one was covering me, and I drove down the length of the court and pulled up and let her fly.

Taking a snapshot of the last few years doesn't really work. There are too many variables. The weather is a tremendous factor. There's been a lot of snow in the high country this year. It certainly wouldn't be fair to industry to say the wells drove them away. And drought - it wouldn't be fair for industry to say populations are going up because of, or despite wells.

Strong holiday season sales of consumer products such as cell phones, digital cameras, and MP3 players drove record sales of semiconductors in November.

It was kind of a slow start, but after I had an eagle on seven, I played pretty well, ... I hit the ball straight and drove it well.

It wasn't as bad as it could have been elsewhere. I was really mad 'G' was gone. He was the head hitting coach. He drove the team. But Cabrillo brought in a couple of ex-major leaguers. They bring a lot to the table. I'm glad the school didn't bring in some random dude. This shows me it wants to see this thing get turned around.

It was like every day, a different demon would reappear. There were terrible memories there. I drove by the house I grew up in. They took my mother away in an ambulance and she died in front of that house. I drove by the church where I had to go and eat at the soup kitchen because I was out on the street at 16.

It was love for me - her kind of love - that drove her into the mill-race.

No journalist in this country understood the Liberals better than Bob. He drove those guys nuts but kept the politicians honest.

It was a good day. I hung in there. I didn't hit every green, but when I missed it I got up and down and hit a lot of good shots. I drove the ball really well, which I'm really happy with.

It was a great goal. Kat drove in a tremendous cross and Callie's finish was impressive both athletically and technically.

It truly was more as you drove through . . . being stopped, having to be in the middle of it.

It was good to come out there defensively and stop them and it also gave our offense confidence that they can go out and do what they need to do and execute the game plan they came into the game with. Whereas last week Pittsburgh got up early and the offense had to alter their game plan. This week they just stuck with it. They drove and pounded it.

It was just a really good day. I drove the ball well and think I hit every fairway. I think I maybe missed one green, but then I chipped in for par on 10. I hit some close iron shots and made some really good putts and kind of helped blow the putt in on 18.

The turning point was 9/11. It drove a lot of interest in homeland security, a lot of government spending and increased spending from large, Fortune 500 corporations.

They were burning some stuff in their incinerator. Some people drove by and thought it was a building fire, but it wasn't.

They were a great team. They were very fast-paced and tenacious. They picked up on our shooters. They drove to the basket really hard. They did an excellent job.

They weren't abusing it. They drove it hard and they shift hard, but that is what the car is built for. They like to go when the light turns green.

It was great tonight. Our big guys up front, hats off to them. They just drove the defense back. Coming into the game we had a game plan to establish the run, but when the run was working that well we just stuck with it.

The rest of the girls picked it up in the second half. We drove hard to the basket, did a better job shooting and screened well, but I was happiest with our intensity-that was the difference in the game.

On both goals, Bryce drove in the left lane to score.

Once I caught the guys if they were on the bottom, I drove by them on the high side. If they were up high, I just drove by them on the bottom. The car went wherever I wanted to go. Once I got the lead, I just rode there and saved my tires. I tried to keep the car straight and not spin the tires.

After the warning shots were neglected, the individuals got into their vehicle and drove toward the coalition base,

Services and probably consumer spending drove the increase in GDP. It makes a rate cut less likely for the moment.

That morning, summer sulked and gathered darkly over Charlotte, and heat shimmered on pavement. Traffic teemed, people pushing forward to promise as they drove through new construction, and the past was bulldozed away.

The largest source that drove the very strong growth over the last year was this powerful replacement cycle, which is fading, ... The need to replace inventory is over.

The church in the book (and movie) plays a pivotal scene. We looked everywhere ... I mean everywhere! We had to have enough of a front yard area to house a Nativity scenes. And we finally found it ... two miles from our office. And we had been all over Tulsa looking. We were looking in places in Texas, everywhere! And I was in the car with the director and we drove by (the church).

I'm increasingly realising our consciousness and subconsciousness are extremely different, and our subconsciousness motivates us, but so far, I don't know what drove or motivates me.

I'm not sure how good we would have been without Kurt behind the wheel. We got a little bit behind with the flat tire, and Kurt couldn't talk to us at that point because of a radio problem. But Kurt drove a very hard set of laps. There's really nothing more that needs to be said. It's hard racing at Bristol.

I'm ecstatic. We came out here hoping to do well. I thought if I drove well, had a great push and great equipment, we could be fast. We finished sixth. I'm pretty happy with that.

I kicked out the ball a lot more than in the past, but I was wanting my teammates to make some shots. I think one time I drove and I couldn't find anyone open and I just threw the ball out of bounds. I have to have an idea of what I want to do with ball.

I hung in there well. I didn't play particularly well. I hit a lot of poor drives, and when I drove the ball well I continued to drive it in the first cut (of rough). It was kind of frustrating because nothing really seemed to get the momentum going. When I did get the momentum going, like on Sunday, I made a mistake.

In 1957, which is now 57 years ago, my grandfather and then-Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi welcomed Prime Minister Menzies as the first Australian Prime Minister to visit Japan after World War II and drove the conclusion of the Japan-Australia Agreement on Commerce.

I mean, I don't think I was liked as a person. I was kind of seen as a black kid, young African-American, cornrows, drives fancy cars, wears diamond earrings, things like that. They just kind of based their perception off of what I drove and what I did and things like that. All those things were never a part of any other player on that team but me.

I knew I was a little behind coming out of the last turn. I just put my head down and no-breathed the second lap and just drove for the finish.

I like Roy Orbison's video for 'I Drove All Night' because it's so literal. It is just a man driving throughout the night. I like that silliness. To be in a video is a ridiculous thing. It's almost impossible to do it without any humour.

I just went on the ice and drove the net. I don't know if I was hooked, but I tried to go back and it seemed like I slipped and it slid between his legs, so it was kind of lucky, but I'll take it.

I'm really looking forward to my first Daytona 24 hour race. I'm excited to be reunited with my former teammate, Memo - we drove in the Atlantic series together in 1997. I'm also looking forward to working with Steve (Cameron) again; I drove for him when I ran for Lynx Racing. This team won the last race of the season last year and I feel that they're definitely capable of winning the Rolex 24.

I'm just supposed to get on base for the guys behind me. Today I was happy because I drove the ball the other way.

I'm from San Diego. My parents weren't involved in theater, but my mother encouraged my interest in it. She bought me the cassette tape to 'A Chorus Line' and she took me and a friend out of school one day and drove us up to L.A. for a matinee. Afterward, we ate in the cafeteria. I was in junior high school. She saw the direction I was going in.

I'm pretty happy with it. Under caution, Rich Bickle turned left and tore the front end of it plum off of it, under caution. ... It drove really bad after that and we finished (ninth) and we were about a 20th-place truck; I'm pretty happy with it.

I'm just playing solid and I'm going to have to go out and do it again tomorrow, that's for sure. Because the way he played golf today ... he drove the ball fantastic, hit it close to the hole, so it just didn't look like he was going to struggle at all in any part of the game.

I had to change my game. I tried to be more than just a 3-point threat. I drove to the basket a lot more and got to the foul line. I worked a lot on my jump shot inside the key.

I'm talking just like, 'Excuse me, there's a man hurt here,' and they looked at me for a second -- and they drove away,

I parked under her building on a daily basis when I drove into the city. On our first date we went to a little deli across the street which we both frequented all the time ... but that was the first time we ever really met.

I once drove a pair of horses from New York to Vicksburg, and to this day I can almost map out that country as I saw it then, with its hills and valleys, villages and rivers. Yes, I naturally attribute something of my success in railroad building to the interest I take in such things.

Instead of driving to the rim, we drove wide. I have no idea.

I noticed they walked him four times on Sunday. But I also noticed that (Jim) Edmonds drove in three runs.

I just told the guys that we're going to be OK. We drove down the field there a couple of times and couldn't get it in. All of a sudden, we just started executing.

I really think the biggest reason has got to be people seeing government agencies not doing the right thing, ... and that drove them to support a private response and do it quickly by sending it online.

I recruited A.J. myself. And from the day I met him until now, he's been a competitor. He didn't just show up and become great. He worked extremely hard, and his competitiveness drove that. I've never seen anyone like him. He's in the weight room every day at 6 o'clock in the morning. A lot of people don't see that side of him, because he doesn't let them in. They see the glamour, but he's worked for everything he's gotten.

I remember the first time I ever drove through deep, southern West Virginia. I couldn't even understand the accent of the people there, you know. They couldn't understand me. West Virginia, actually, is a state that's made up of some different kinds of communities.

I remember the day he got that, he was so excited. He drove by my house and revved it up for me. It was loud, and you could hear him coming from a mile away. He was so proud of it because it was something that he did on his own.

I'll never know how they got us out. They knew every street that wasn't flooded, and drove around 'til we finally came up on the main roads that were open. We still had to get out and move trees and things in our way.

I know authors shouldn't play favorites with books, but 'Release Me' really is right up there for me. The characters truly came alive on the page and drove the story as much as I did from behind the scenes. It was a pleasure to write, and I'm so thrilled that it's the first of a trilogy because I get to spend more time with the characters.

In this movie they took them up in space. They're floating around and doing zero gravity stuff. Well, they had to do it all on wires. All the wires had to be painted black against this black background. If you didn't light it properly you could see the wires. Drove them crazy!

I hit the ball very well. I drove the ball well. I had a lot of opportunities for birdie. I just stayed patient and tried to keep hitting good shots.

I really haven't hit it too good lately, but today I had more chances to make birdies and I drove it better. It was a much better round than I have had the past few weeks. I'm encouraged.

I played well today, struck the ball well. My front side, which was the back nine, I didn't drive the ball as good. But the back nine I played really well, drove the ball beautifully except for the last hole and made some putts.

In the past I never drove a competitive car. Last year with a good package, I won the race.

If you walk into an auto lot and a vehicle is 20 years old and has only 50,000 miles, that should set some alarms off. The old saying about the little old lady who drove only to church on Sundays, well, there aren't too many of those. If a deal seems just too good to be true, it probably is.

I never thought I'd live long enough to see it like this. I was never on the fire department, but I drove a team of Belgians for years that pulled the pumper. My father pulled the pumper before that. This just makes my day.

I guess more bad things have been done in the name of progress than any other. I myself have been guilty of this. When I was a teenager, I stole a car and drove it out into the desert and set it on fire. When the police showed up, I just shrugged and said, ""Hey, progress."" Boy, did I have a lot to learn.

I just don't understand why anyone would want to hurt him. He was a good man. He just got sick, got in the car and drove off.

I really believe the key to the entire game for us defensively was starting the game out on offense like we did. We took the ball and drove it down the field deep into their territory twice, which just totally throws the field position in our favor. I felt like the kids kind of fed off that a little bit.

I put on my pants and drove like crazy to the airplane hangars, ... Then I looked up, and this fighter plane came a-roaring down, machine guns blazing, and I knew it sure as hell wasn't one of ours.

I read that play, Rondo told me he was going to try to take him off the dribble, and he drove to the right and I just picked it up and blocked it. Given the circumstances, that was definitely a big block.
