Figured Quotations | Page 6

Well, I didn't get the increase, and (Mr. Carroll) came to me afterward and told me that by requesting a unanimous vote I had given all the power away to one person, ... 'What,' he asked, 'if we wanted to start a program for kids and you gave away that power?' He explained that you can't always get a unanimous decision. The next year, I figured out how to count to four.

We all know that the best hospitals are those that have figured out how to 'get it right' consistently -- the challenge is transferring that knowledge and practical know-how to those that aspire to be the best. Premier's Rapid Improvement Programs revolutionize knowledge transfer by providing access to best practices and collaboration with experts quickly and inexpensively -- right from the user's desktop.

Up through my freshman year, I just loved gymnastics. As a sophomore, then my junior and senior years, I started to get burned out. That was when the whole scholarship thing became an issue. I figured I had done gymnastics for so long and worked hard enough that I couldn't stop now.

There could be a number of reasons why the number of voters is larger in one ward than the other - there could be more people who actually register, or there could be a discrepancy in the number of children, ... One thing that surprised me is that there have been some huge (housing) developments in the city that I figured would have charged the demographics, but that's not been the case.

Um, I mean, if we had that figured out, we'd be a better team. That's the question that's out there. We can't figure it out. If we ever do, we'll be a tough team to beat. How y'all are asking these questions - we're all asking the same things.

We had a great dramatics department in school, so I did a lot of plays and theatre there. Later, when I was the captain of our student's ward, I figured out that if you find something you really love to do, you don't have to work for the rest of your life! You can just have fun and still excel in it because you enjoy what you do.

We've got a lot of guys playing well at the same time now. That's a good sign. As time has gone on, we've figured what we have to do to be successful.

We had to get fired back up. When we got off to that big lead, we thought we'd beat them. We figured they were done. Then they came back and scored, and that lit a fire underneath us.

Those two things figured against playing football. But I decided to play because I'm not going to have this chance ever again.

This team has figured out how to win games.

What (Palmer) has figured out again is work ethic. He's had the tremendous ability all season long of buying into what we're doing, and his effort has always been good.

What I've achieved now is something that I always figured I would as a kid. I've had that type of determination since I was a youngster playing around the playgrounds, getting dirty after school.

We had a fourth-down play, but I figured we had them back on their heels passing, passing, passing and they wouldn't be expecting the run and it popped open for us, ... Antonio did a great job popping out of the back door.

We just figured it didn't matter what happened before. I know we wanted to show people that we could not only win against them but also this tournament.

We knew he was going to fight his way out of it. A guy like that is just too good a baseball player ... We knew it was just a matter of time before he figured it out, and he did.

We just kept asking him where he was, where he was, and eventually he figured it out.

We just hung in there, and stuck with the game plan, and figured out what was going to work.

You have a man on third and less than two outs, you're going to try to jam him. I figured at some point he was going to come in.

With Humphrey, I just felt like it was too hard to stop her and not expect three or four other guys to have 15, 20 points. So our game plan, to be honest, was to let her get 20-something points. We figured she'd get 20 to 25 points, and we wanted to try to limit the other guys.

With guys like him that are so in tune with their swings, they know something's off, and it can be something quite as simple as the hands. Once they get it figured out, the confidence level shoots way up and once their confidence level shoots up and they've corrected the mechanical flaws, you can get results like this.

With Greenfield's pressure, length and size, we figured the only way to get good shots was to penetrate. Haley created some shots for us.

With 'GoldenEye,' the franchise got locked into this legal fight. They couldn't make new Bond movies for about seven years. It was my first huge production. I figured if I did at least a yeoman-like job, it would be greeted as a complete revival of the series.

What could the thing that was to happen to him be, after all, but just this thing that had begun to happen? Her dying, her death, his consequent solitude - that was what he had figured as the beast in the jungle.

We've been talking about this for a while, but we've finally figured out how to say it.

We talked about it as a team - that a point in November is as big as a point in February. It just didn't register and that's something we figured out that we have to do better next year so we can move up in the rankings.

We talked about being fast, about being physical. Everyone on our team is fast. Everyone on our team is physical. ... Everybody understands what coach Dungy wants out of the defense. Once we figured it out, it was easy for us to go out and play fast, play hard.

We just wanted to put it all out there and go for the win. We figured they might be a bit worn out after the Lincoln-Way game.

We just started outworking them. We knew that the team that put out the most effort would win the game. We figured it might as well be us.

We just figured we'd get along without it for now.

We just figured kids would still be in school so they wouldn't be able to sneak in early to the mall and sort of hide out in these places. It's just a slight modification.

We had the upper hand in the first half. I figured it was just a matter of time.

We figured they'd expect Troy to take the last shot so we set things up for Brad to take the final shot.

We figured they'd come out and try to run the option on us. We knew we had to shore up our assignments on that and shut down their running game. We knew once we did that, we had a pretty good chance.

We figured they'd be blitzing, because they were doing it a lot.

We figured the true fans would find out about it.

We figured there would be some deterioration, but not like this. It looks like problems across the board.

We figured there might be one or two people who would break 100.

We figured that would be a good chance to gamble and take a shot. Davies was throwing the ball very well at that point. The odds of trying to get a two-out hit probably weren't in our favor. We thought we'd go ahead and gamble, and it worked.

We figured that when the superintendent took the raise she took she signaled to the rest of the employees what money was available.

We figured that this was a company with 85% of its stock price coming from its net cash, ... So we were able to buy Apple's manufacturing and design operation basically for next to nothing.

We figured that since we've been gone from the road for a while, let's make it a little more intimate, do multiple nights (in some cities) and get the connection back with the fans.

We figured that she had made two all-American teams, so we figured and we hoped she would make the Indiana All-Star team. That's good for the city, the Region and for Dee Dee.

We figured that one week after spring break wasn't enough time for students to apply; plus, there are still class visitors going to classes and talking to students, so we decided to extend the deadline.

We figured since there was a festival downtown, we'd make an appearance.

We figured out that we were going to have to do CGI and 2-D animation on screen at the same time. Sixty-five percent of the picture is CGI. That's a big mix. When you marry those two, they can either look very foreign to each other, or they look like they belong together.

We figured out pretty quickly it was an April Fools' joke.

We figured out if they want to play a low-scoring game we'll play a low-scoring game. All we want is a win anyway.

We figured out how to play them. Step out a little bit and get our guards to help out.

We figured out a way to win. In these last two wins, if you look at the assists we had in those games, they were kind of high. The best thing that you can do is just pass the ball and get everyone involved, and we'll win games.

We figured out a way to get living cells to attach where and when we want them to.

We figured out a way. That's all that matters.

We figured out a little bit the last 11 games and the last few weeks that we like to play and what we have to do to be successful. We've just got to keep it going.

We figured out a few things in that game and we didn't do them again.

We figured no one would break it for another 30 years, just like it took for the Lakers' record to be broken. So, it is surprising Detroit is pushing for it.

We figured it would be low-scoring. Luke can wrestle any style he needs to.

We figured it would be a not-guilty plea, ... We have all the confidence that prosecutors have a very strong case.

We figured it was somebody that ... maybe had a fight with their boyfriend or whatever and wanted somebody to benefit from it and probably dropped it in the bucket. That was one assumption, but you don't want to assume.

We figured it was going to turn. Some of us lost everything.

We figured it should have been a five-minute major. But the referee didn't call it. Turned out to be down the road the difference in the game, but there's nothing we can do about it.

We figured it's about time we tried to put on a really good show. It's hard to do that when you're going out drinking every night.

We figured if we just kept pounding and pounding them with the number of players they had we'd wear them out,

We figured if we got two dozen, we'd be really happy.

We figured if we got in we could be a dangerous team. Well, we're in now.

We figured if we couldn't press them, we wouldn't have much of a chance. They had experience, so we knew they would be tough to press, but we had to press them if we were going to do anything against them.

We figured if one was 30 or 40 years old, that would be the winner.

We figured he was going to get his 25 or 30 points. Unfortunately he got more than his 30.

We figured for the next four years, he was going to be unbelievable, like another Archie Griffin. It's just sad." ()

We figured defensively, they are so strong that we were going to have to match them defensively and hold them down. I thought we did that.

We figured as long as we've got this monkey thing going, why not ride on the coattails of that?

We got out in the session just a little late. When I was going to start my first quick lap I was black flagged. We just had one lap to qualify and we had a fairly decent run. I had enough of a gap between myself and the car in front to get a clean lap. The tires weren't quite up to pressure, but it's a pretty good result for Pontiac and I appreciate Paul letting me qualify. Sitting in Paul's and Jan's seat isn't the most comfortable thing for me, so we figured it's easier for me to get out mid-race than for me to get in.

We expected a tough challenge today. The difference in the game at Radford was that we out-rebounded them by 14 and we hit eight out of 14 three's. So we figured that with the fact they had a week to practice basically getting ready they were going to do a good job challenging us at the 3-point line and be a little tougher on the boards. That was obviously the difference in the game.

We don't understand all of that, but people studying grazing cows figured out long ago that cows actually consume the bigger portion of their feed for the day in the late afternoon.

You figured they would come back. They're hot, we're hot, so it should be a good series. You couldn't ask for a better ending, no doubt about it.

You figured it out, didn't you? Pretty good for a writer.

To me it's not really shocking because he always had weed on him. I figured he would be high, but I still don't think that is reason enough to crash the way he did,

To be honest, I figured it would probably be 1-1 after today, but tomorrow is another day.

We should have everything figured out now and be ready to put the best team out there against Eagle Valley.

We should have everything figured out by Friday. There's a possibility of a three-way tie for second.

We think of writing a book as a process, but the very word - process - suggests that there is one: a template to follow, a map to guide us. If that were true, someone would have surely figured out some marketable method we could all buy.

Washington has typically lagged behind Virginia and Maryland in terms of deployment of capital, and I think D.C. figured out this was an interesting way to fill that gap.

We are still suffering the effects of the change from traditional business apparel to casual apparel. Those (casual apparel brands) carry much lower price points and people still haven't figured out what casual is. There's no real direction for fashion. People don't know what direction it's going, and for women this is a big issue.

We had pieces hanging off the car that were 5 feet long just to give me that feel. And I said, 'Ooh, I like this.' Then we figured out how we could incorporate that into the car.

We have done a lot of nice things here in our first six years. We have gotten better every year. We have won a lot of league games. We learned how to win on the road. We've won a league championship. Now we need to figure out how to play well in St. Louis. Creighton has figured that out. That's why everybody knows who Creighton is.

Both of the girls did a very nice job and swam really well. Nobody figured we'd score any points, but here we are coming away with an NCAA All-American!

Even six months later, they have not figured out how do we help the people from the area get housing.

Ben actually looked to the left and I had a hitch route. It was only about six yards, so when he came back to me, I kind of figured Champ was driving on me and that's not how you want to start the game, with a pick for a touchdown.

Bill Clinton seems to suffer from attention starvation disorder. He seems to need to be at the center of it, ... It is difficult to imagine an American reading 'My Life' by Bill Clinton, tossing it on the nightstand, and saying 'Eureka, we have to have John Kerry in the White House, I just figured it all out.'

Everybody knows and understands what Coach Dungy wants out of the defense. Once we figured it out, it was easy for us to go out and play fast, play hard.

Every nation on this planet has its issues with race, and I am not sure if everyone has figured out how to deal with it. America has become more politically correct.

As strange as it sounds, Roy wasn't motivated for those two fights. Roy is either self-motivated or he's not motivated at all. For those fights, he was bored. He was tired of pleasing other people. The second Tarver fight; he figured he'd beaten Tarver the first time when he was weak and had trouble making weight so now it would be easy. I didn't get what I should have gotten out of him in camp. And with Glen Johnson, it was the same thing. You can't make a fighter train if he doesn't want to. He might come to the gym but he won't work right while he's there.

At one point, I thought that maybe humor was the best way to deal with it. I figured maybe I should get 12 old Jewish comedians, you know, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, to sit around a table and have them riff off 'The Protocols.

At that point I knew it was just Paul and me. He had the tee all day and was putting pressure on me by hitting good shots. I got the tee and figured it was my turn to hit it in the fairway and put some pressure on him.

At some point they figured out that you can win elections with a pro-European policy because the voters hope this will improve their lives.

At that time we didn't really have the talent to be able to line up and compete with many teams. Stanford had recently had some success throwing the ball with Jim Plunkett (1970 Heisman Trophy winner) at quarterback. I figured with most defenses built to focus on stopping the run, we would try and pass the ball. Once we became successful and began to recruit better players, I just decided to stick with the offense.

At the time it was supposed to be a really serious and scary movie, ... but because it was made in 1920 and all the actors were from the theater, they hadn't figured out how to act for film yet. Everything is totally overly dramatic.

At the four minute mark I figured we had the lead so let's just get the win and get out of here. Our delay game keeps the ball in the hands of our two best guys so let's hope they can hit their free throws and we can get out of here.

Did I really win? ... I had kind of figured it was not my year. My goodness, this is exciting.

Doctors and scientists said that breaking the four-minute mile was impossible, that one would die in the attempt. Thus, when I got up from the track after collapsing at the finish line, I figured I was dead.

Andy asked me to be a part of ... and I figured it was the least I could do for all the help he's given me. Once he told me who he was targeting with his message, I didn't hesitate to help.
