Finishing Quotations | Page 6

Everybody seems to be clicking right now, and I definitely think we're capable of doing a lot better than finishing sixth.

The biggest thing is we're finishing our chances. It was something we were worried about at the beginning of the season, but obviously in big games they've responded.

It's irrelevant to me. It's not about that. It's about finishing my career the way I want to finish it.

It's definitely going to be a tough season. I feel like some of the rookies have a good shot at finishing easily in the top 10 in points and maybe in the top three in points. That's how good some of these guys are. Is that going to be me? I don't know. I don't think so.

It's disappointing. We expected more. All season it came down to not finishing games.

It's big. It's something we talked about after the USC game -- finishing our successful season on a good, positive note. Now the people still in our program have something to shoot for.

It was not his best day. He was missing more than the last two times we played and he gave me a lot of opportunities to play my game. I was aggressive, a lot of times finishing the point at the net.

It was not a bad game for a 0-0. Both sides were very competitive but possibly we should have done better. The finishing on the night was not good enough.

I've got to savor this a little bit -- my last regular-season game against Arizona. Finishing it off with a nice win. I'm savoring this for sure, whenever we can come out and sweep that team it feels pretty good. We got it done today.

I've faced Barry a lot and he's had a lot of success against us. There's no reason to figure it out; just step back and keep looking for good pitches. Finishing strong showed why he's one of the best.

It was a great coming-out party for him. He was creating opportunities and finishing them. The best players need to step up, and tonight they did.

It was a great race. After finishing fourth at the Worlds I was motivated to do my best.

It was a great opportunity for us to regain our focus and work on the things we needed to. We have our last four games, so we can really focus on finishing strong, and we are all rested up and ready to go.

It was a gritty effort by both teams, but hitting those three-pointers was the difference for us. Tonight, we did a horrendous job of finishing at the basket. We were fortunate to shoot such a high percentage in three-pointers.

It's very emotional. We are ready to start the Games. We have waited six years, naturally we are still working, finishing up the buildings and training personnel, but we are ready.

It's very easy to understand. You can point to many things: the technical side, the mental side, all sorts of different things -- on Saturday there were 35,000 people and an exciting atmosphere. Finishing on goal is not the easiest thing in the world. You get a split second to make a decision and sometimes it's the right decision and sometimes it's the wrong decision. Of course, we would like to score goals and we will.

It's tough, because he has a lot of respect for Coach Donovan and (associate coach Anthony) Grant. But he's looking forward to finishing this season and his future opportunities.

It's to our advantage. It's about the time we're finishing up our daily practices.

I want to leave all of my options open. I plan on finishing school, too, so whatever happens, I'm going to finish my degree. That's what my mom would have wanted.

They did a great job of finishing the quarters. We didn't handle the pressure and we didn't shoot well from the free throw line.

They will be able to be used for the test competitions, although some minor finishing touches may still have to be added.

They have to worry about finishing ahead of me. I have to just finish ahead of them. At this point of the season, you don't think what might happen or keep track of the points; you just go for it, and that is what we are planning right now.

It was great to win a tournament after finishing the previous season with just four wrestlers on the team.

It was June last year, and we were finishing our conditioning drills. We were running around the top of the building and I told the guys if they take care of their business, when the season ends every seat in this house is going to be filled.

I want to see her finishing the race so that we can move farther later on. I don't think the distance is ideal. We want to run longer.

Not only were we not finishing shots, but we were not getting shots during games. We were getting 20 to 30 shots per game. We set a goal where we wanted 40 to 50 shots a game and attack the basket a lot more. The kids are getting a lot more comfortable doing that.

The knee held up well and I felt like I made progress. Just finishing the course was a small victory for me.

Their focus has been very clear. ... Getting as close as we did to the championship and then not finishing the deal.

Their weapons are formidable, ... A coup would be very risky and would give NATO an excuse for finishing off Milosevic.

The Fed is toward the end of its rate hikes. Equities and bonds got a bid because the Fed talked about maybe finishing its tightening.

I'm in a very enviable position, being able to work like this 45 years later. It's always beginning! I never have a sense of finishing up, just new things beginning. When I die, they're going to carry me off a stage.

I'm getting tired of coming close and not finishing the deal. We started out looking like a team, then struggled, stumbled and fumbled and did not look very good at the half. We responded, competed and played hard and made the plays that gave ourselves a chance to win.

I'm not focused on exactly where I want to finish. I'm focused on finishing each week the best I possibly can.

I'm not finishing in the top 10 or 15 every week like I wish I could. But it's been fine.

I'm excited. We start going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier and finishing up our summer projects. We kind of get ready for back-to-school. We haven't bought any new clothes yet. I'm still hoping, though.

I'm excited to at least finish the season, at least on he field, ... As far as speculation, obviously that's not my job. I'm really just interested in enjoying and finishing these last couple weeks here.

I'm finishing a book about the making of the movie and I have a comedy I'm dying to do that would be perfect for Jim Carey, ... And I'm getting a cut of the film ready for The Lifetime Channel, for showing next March.

I'm proud of our guys for fighting through it. Last year, many times this may have gone the other way. We're trying to turn that around and work on finishing off the game.

I knew about the Cardiac Kids and all those guys. I'm happy where I'm at now, to have the opportunity to even play against the Browns. It doesn't really matter where you start, it's how you finish. Who knows, maybe one of these years, I may be finishing my career in Cleveland or Cincinnati.

I have some concerns, but that is about finishing plays. We had opportunities to finish plays. We just didn't -- for whatever reason.

I'm sure that folks are noticing the progress being made on the new Lowe's for Framingham. We anticipate that the exterior work and road improvements will be completed by summer, and then we'll work on finishing out the inside of the building.

In both games, I think we came out strong and played good defense. We did a better job finishing up our games, which was nice to see from the team.

In all three games (before Olathe) we had a lot of opportunities in the box and we're not handling (the ball) well enough to settle it down and take a shot. We need to improve our soft touch and finishing better.

I'm not a bit discouraged by finishing second, and I think this is something that can be overcome.

I know we didn't win the regular season, but I don't know how finishing second was all that great when you have to get the winner of South Florida-Notre Dame in the first round. I'm saying to myself, the four teams with a bye, this is what we get for a great season. I'm not sure that's ever been the case. They've come into this league and dramatically altered the landscape. They certainly have benefited and we have benefited from it also.

I know we can do it, and we're going to go for it. This all plays into finishing the season strong.

I know Ray's style. I've known it since we were little. I give him a lick on the guitar and he knows what's coming. There is that sibling harmony. That same-heartbeat kind of thing. He knows what I want to say. It is like finishing each other's sentences.

I knew that I could win in the last lap, with about a half-lap left. I knew I had better finishing speed, so I was not demoralized to see her taking the lead. I wasn't feeling very well. I had some stitches, and that was the reason (for letting her hold the lead). I won with God's will, and it was very hard...I hope to take many more medals in cross country.

I knew that she was very worthy of the honor. One of the things that really stood out was that she helped propel us from being picked seventh in the league to finishing fourth.

I knew coming into this year that the difference between finishing third and finishing eighth was going to be a bad weekend. I think that's playing out.

I'm really trying not to think about it. I've been doing the best I can to just focus on finishing out the schedule for the right reasons, and that's to try to help the team win as many games.

I'm really not sad about it. They've had a good run, and all good things have to come to an end. Hopefully, we can try to put the finishing touches on it Sunday.

I'm racing for the wins and racing up front and finishing in the top 10. It's puzzling to me how you can judge a driver on that.

I'm just playing real solid. I'm very pleased with finishing with a 69 this morning and then following it up with a good round this afternoon.

I'm even more pleased to win because I've been finishing second and third a lot recently.

I have no doubt that mothers in America use my name to frighten their children into finishing their vegetables.

I'm very proud of finishing in the top half of the league. I'm happy for the ladies, particularly the seniors. They've worked very hard.

I'm very happy with the direction the team is going and I'm looking forward to finishing my career in a Dodger uniform. This is a great way to close out my career in front of my parents and I'm pretty proud that we were able to get this done.

I'm used to finishing everything, and this year I've been having trouble. It's just getting more frustrating and frustrating.

I'm not too disappointed with finishing second to Mike twice in a row. In both races, Mike just had 'fresher' tires at the end. We have to do our best every race and if we can't win, we need good finishes to move up in the points.

I'm happy with finishing second overall but disappointed because I wanted to win this one - it was a local race.

I'll carry the torch until it needs to be passed. Hopefully, God willing, I plan on finishing my career here, if it be this year or maybe next year.

I'm certainly not complaining about finishing second. This year the fight for the championship will be very close.

I'm certainly not complaining about finishing second. This year, the fight for the championship will be very close. There are several good teams, all of which are capable of battling for the title and it's great to be one of them.

I opened up the paper (last) Saturday morning and when I saw the (Proviso East) score I felt bad for the boys. Finishing 5-1 is a great thing and we haven't been that close in a while. But I just felt so bad for those kids.

If you have a stake in the community, it probably does rub off on your kids. They're going to think there's something worthwhile to finishing school.

In the year 2000, finishing in the world top ten was our aim, and when we made it we thought that being in the top six would be enough. After reaching that goal, we realized that the world top three was so close and at that time we found it easy to surpass one skater after another.

In the end, we didn't think finishing at the ninth was going to give us much more room than finishing at 18.

In the early '90s, I was finishing up my adolescence. I visited my local comic-book store on a weekly basis, and one week I found a book on the stands called 'Xombi,' published by Milestone Media.

Instead of having the reorganization in the courtroom, we'll have it in the hall, which hasn't been used yet. Workers are finishing it up.

I just told them to turn and then find the glass. We were too quick at times, rushing things. We'd just turn and chuck, turn and chuck, without finishing our shots.

I'll make that decision in the next couple of weeks, but right now I'm just concentrating on my studies and finishing everything out.

I really had fun with the sport but I needed a little time. I would like to get out there but I will be cheering them on, maybe give them water at the finishing line.

I preached to a lot of guys in here about playing and finishing strong. It's frustrating for myself to not be able to finish, but I know it's an injury I've had for quite a bit of the season and have played through it. It got to the point where I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't.

In the locker room we weren't talking about anything else. We only talked about winning, about finishing strong.

In my mind, and in a lot of the lads' minds, we are still concentrating all our efforts on finishing second.

I think not finishing school and being in the streets is why I caught my cases.

I ran the L.A. marathon and really loved the experience. Communal and wild and a gigantic challenge. Finishing that marathon means I can do more than I think. I think.

Clearly the commissioner understood what our goals were and understood the importance of a partnership. He understands that a strong CFL is ultimately going to be good for football and what's good for football in Canada is going to help the NFL. We are now finishing almost a decade of a formal relationship with the NFL and I have every hope it will be another decade of a good relationship.

Cliff really pitched a great game today. He has looked like the old Cliff the past two weeks. He has really worked hard and has good command on the mound. We hit the ball well today and I am proud of the team for coming out and finishing the series with the win. We still have a ways to go but we played well this weekend.

Being in the playoffs is a big accomplishment and we want to do well when we get there, but right now we don't want to lose focus on finishing as high in the section standings as possible. That's our primary focus at this time.

Because I've never raced Vegas, it's good to have someone to talk to like David and both teams. David was a rookie last year, so he can relate. My goal is to come away with a solid finish. I've had a great year in ARCA after starting off strong at Daytona. All year, I've been running up front and finishing well. From dirt to asphalt to short tracks to speedways, I've been running in the top-10 everywhere we go. I'd like to transfer that success to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

His car was similar to mine when he won Atlanta versus me finishing third, and it was just who was in front. It was merely track position at the end of the race, so he's got the ability to drive the race cars.

Because the market was so tight, and still is tight, people just can't find a home that they want to go into, or don't want to pay-- they want to make the money on the sale, they don't want to spend it on a new home. So instead, they're cashing out the equity in that house and finishing off the basement or putting an addition on.

He's shooting shots he knows he can shoot on post-ups on Shaq and drives from me. He's just in the rhythm. He's also going to the bucket and finishing strong. Hopefully, he and Antoine (Walker) continue to play the way they have and we'll be pretty good offensively throughout the playoffs.

He's out of conditions; so he can't run in an allowance race. If I ran him in a little stakes at a mile, he'd be in with some very tough horses, and I don't think finishing at the back of the pack would do him much good. So we just train him up to the races.

I didn't finish high school - left home when I was 15. I moved away to Fresno and worked as a grocery clerk. I went to college part-time at California State Fresno, and then ended up finishing in two and a half years because I wanted to get on with things.

I didn't think about it at all and people didn't ever bring it up. They talked more about the shot I holed out on 18 at Bay Hill than that one. I was one shot off the lead at the time. We were finishing the third round Sunday morning. I hit a good shot that went too far and it bounced over the back. Then I just kept getting the yips from the drop area.

Charlie has been finishing first week-after-week for us, Ryan was playing real well and had just one bad hole, Russell fired a good score and Daniel and Trey also played well. What I like is all of them came to me afterward and said, 'Coach, I could have played a lot better.' Let's see what they do (Saturday).

By finishing out strong, we know that we have a good chance next season. We had to try to prove it the last month. If we get one or two guys, we're not looking that far ahead.

Byron did a great job of running the floor, finishing and making some free throws. His lift off the bench gave us that extra spark that we needed.

Hopefully, the goal is to create some parity. The difference between making the playoffs, finishing fifth or sixth, and missing it isn't much. It's a pretty fine line.

Hollywood was a silver-nitrate finishing school for a whole generation with a faculty that included Lillian Gish, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, John Gilbert, Pola Negri, Gloria Swanson, Clara Bow, Lon Chaney, Charlie Chaplin and Rudolf Valentino.

One always has to spoil a picture a little bit, in order to finish it.

Perhaps the sketch of a work is so pleasing because everyone can finish it as he chooses.

A fine suggestion, a sketch with great feeling, can be as expressive as the most finished product.

Perfume is the indispensable complement to the personality of women, the finishing touch on a dress.

I finished school, because I started when I was thirteen, so basically around 16 or 17, I just focused on finishing high school.

My pictures really finish themselves.
