Fort Quotations

It was so weird that I would end up directing 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' because, y'know, I'm not a big golfer myself. But I grew up around the game. My mom and dad kind of built their dream house off the 11th fairway of Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth.

The strength of the United States is not the gold at Fort Knox or the weapons of mass destruction that we have, but the sum total of the education and the character of our people.

I'm Chief Executive Officer at Art of the Olympians Museum in Fort Myers, Florida, which was founded by my Mexico City teammate Al Oerter and his wife Cathy in 2005. It shows that Olympians can have another life; we have got art from more than 100 Olympians.

The successful establishment of a buffer zone around Fort Carson will provide an example for other bases around the country as we seek to protect the training mission of the U.S. military while preserving critical habitats on our ranges.

I grew up in Texas, but that was 20 years ago. Last year, in Fort Worth, they had hail the size of softballs. We're seeing more and more powerful storms, of all types, almost on a biblical level.

I knew I'd never make it back to the major leagues as a player. Lee MacPhail came to me and asked if I wanted to manage the Yankees' Fort Lauderdale club. I thought about it for a day or two and decided to take the job. That was the turning point. I knew it was what I wanted to do.

We usually use that mostly on the weekends because we have access to the range during the week. But I can tell you a number of times they have had a training holiday at Fort Benning, so nobody trains, and to drag him in is like pulling teeth.

Fort Worth is friendly; it's still a Texas town. It's the most Texas city in Texas.

T Bone and I grew up together in Fort Worth, Texas. He had his own recording studio by the time he was seventeen years old. When we were both nineteen he made the first archival recording of my voice.

I think I'll always live in Fort Worth. It's great that I can now go anywhere I want to play music, but I love coming back here. I can roll down the streets and just reminisce.

Fort Smith, being the place of my longest stay, was the scene of my largest medical practice.

A military road led from this point to Fort Leavenworth, and for many miles the farms and cabins of the Delawares were scattered at short intervals on either hand.

I'm originally from Fort Lauderdale: that's my home town in Florida. So when I'm on location, I just get the packets from schools in Florida. And when I go to Florida, I go to Christ Church School.

It was awesome growing up in New Orleans because there were great metal bands, there were great hardcore bands, there were great thrash metal bands in the middle '80s and what-not. But then, take me out of New Orleans, and I moved to Fort Worth in 1987, and there's a scene there, too. And Texas absolutely has a different sound.

We are proud to welcome this landmark hotel -- fully restored and offering the latest in amenities and services -- into the Hilton brand. The Hilton Fort Worth continues our legacy of offering hotels of significance culturally or within the community that are designed to help our guests experience all of the enriching leisure or business experiences that travel can offer.

We spent longer than we had planned in Fort Lauderdale, which meant that the itinerary has had to be changed, and we do regret that sincerely and clearly we do recognize there's been a lot of disruption.

We're going to need them. There are going to be days in the year we are going to have to call on them to do the job and hold the fort so we can try to win a game. They did that today.

We're going to go continue doing what we've been doing all year. It should work for us hopefully in Fort Lauderdale.

When we came back from down seven (points) late against Fort Myers, I knew these guys had something special in them.

Using yield management, you don't have to raise fares to raise revenues, you just make people buy the more expensive fare class. Now we'd have a better chance of playing with the gold bars at Fort Knox than finding out if or how Delta is doing this. ... It's hard in this case to say whether Delta is doing this or raising fares outright.

We feel bad for Andray but the positive thing is that he is healthy and that his career isn't over before it took off. It's sad that something like this happened to him during his rookie season, but he will be all right. We will continue to pray for him, hope for a speedy recovery and hold down the fort until he gets back.

We're aware of the city's interest in keeping the regional archives in Fort Worth.

With the offensive lineup that we have, you can afford that, to squeeze something like that in, ... If you can get a fly-ball catcher to hold the fort and support the pitching staff, you won?t be doing yourself an injustice.

We knew they would come at us aggressively in their full-court press if they got behind. We expected it from the beginning. We said, if we can hold fort at that time, we'd be all right. We didn't do a very good job of it, but what I was proud of my kids of doing, after I called a time out and challenged them a little bit ... they became more aggressive and less hesitant.

We know what it's about and Fort Macleod has been there a few years ago too, so they know what it's about. We expect a very good game, not much different from our playoff atmosphere here. I think it'll be a great game and following us Grande Prairie plays a little bit later. I think both games will be really good.

We want FORT to be a long-term entity. Right now, the focus is schools because the chance of losing accreditation is very real.

We were trying to do too much at times. Fort Dodge wants to play an up-tempo game and push it, and we kind of got sucked into that. We were forcing things. We need to do a better job of sticking to our stuff and doing what we want to do.

We were trying not to underestimate them but we might have been looking ahead. Fort Myers can go as far as they want to go.

What we interpret here has a major impact on the American life we have today. We have the Constitution and Charles Pinckney, we have the Revolutionary War and Fort Moultrie and we have the Civil War here at Fort Sumter.

We tried some different things, but in the end we can't play a half-court game with Fort Thomas. We figured we'd get up and down and shoot the three, and it worked up until that one point.

There are a lot of bands who would get really big in Fort Worth and play shows on a Friday night that everybody would come out to. But I've never been really big in my hometown. My shows would have 10 or 15 people at them.

We want to make that happen, but we want Fort Wayne to put a USHL team in the city, and that way we could throw it back at you. My thoughts are that if Indy is ever going to have another team at the pro level, it won't be me who is involved in it. The only thing I'm interested in are the American Hockey League or this level, and I don't think this market can support an AHL team.

We're looking at Fort Riley growing by leaps and bounds and the community's population probably doubling.

Many of them may find a home at Fort Hood because of our capacity,

She's one of the top players in the area. She plays for the Fort Wayne Fever which is one of the top club teams in the state.

My junior year, we played Fort Thomas in the championship game, and that was a lot of fun. I really enjoy the tournament even more now. Even if I wasn't coaching in it, I'd be there watching it.

More than 100,000 Soldiers have trained on our combat convoy simulators, mostly National Guard. About 1,000 pilots, crew chiefs and Soldiers have trained on the door-gunner simulator at Fort Hood and Fort Rucker.

My husband and I have made this very difficult, heart-wrenching personal choice to move back to the West Coast. Fort Wayne is so a part of my heart. The decision was incredibly hard to make." ()

Now we can say we have a safety net extending from Fort Kent to Sanford.

Now we own that island, ... It's owned by the U.S. Navy and all we're asking is the same thing I do in my state of Oklahoma when we have a live firing range at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

Nothing in our intelligence suggests that Iraq is ready to attack Washington or Fort Lauderdale,

People will not come here to teach or work in the stores, because they can't afford the rent. You could live in other places and drive a cab and have a decent life, but it's not that easy in Fort McMurray.

People would come from all over South Florida. They would travel from as far south as Fort Lauderdale to as far north as Jupiter.

Pete came in and held the fort down and did a great job.

Newton and Fort Dodge will be good. I think everyone will be OK.

One of the reasons I wanted to move him was that he wasn't pitching enough. We played 10 games in Fort Wayne or whatever it was, and he's been on the mound (four) times. We have to find ways to get him out there.

If we have some heavy rains this season, as we did a few years ago, there will be some major problems. With the scheduled delays in building the Fort Hamer Bridge, Manatee County continues to get further and further behind in caring for the needs of the residents of this area.

I got this idea for the business from a friend in Fort Collins that started a similar business but said he was too busy to keep it up. I couldn't conceive of someone having a successful business concept, getting so many calls he couldn't handle it, and letting it peter out.

If we can get outs in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, we'll be fine. We're going to score some runs. We've got plenty of starters. But we've got to hold the fort down after the starter goes out.

I have been to the God Bless Fort Benning Day before, but this was an honor because I was invited by the committee to come and share my book called Rice and Cotton: South Vietnam and South Alabama .

I am very proud to have Fort Bragg, the epicenter of the universe, home of Joint Special Operations Command, in my home district.

Based on the information we have, it looks like the officials at Fort Huachuca are not holding anyone responsible for the attack and the threats against Pvt. Lawson. According to Lawson, the guy who attacked him only had his weekend passes revoked. That's simply outrageous.

Baseball has been a part of the history of Fort Myers.

I look to see Fort Defiance in the hunt this year, but that will not be an easy task. Pitching should be our strength, having both Amber Hoffman and Brittany Davidson back in the starting rotation. I don't think we've fallen off any in the hitting department.

Frankly, Fort Pierce is not regarded, as we say, as the shining city on the coast. Frankly it's had a poor self image. But gradually, I think what's happening is people on the Treasure Coast are moving away from 'Fort Pierce has problems' to 'Oh my God, Fort Pierce has Earth, Wind and Fire.

Fort Huachuca has produced well-trained soldiers and now can produce even more, ... Fort Huachuca is here to stay. It's stronger today, with eyes on the future.

Fort Scott is so quick that when you go inside, you have to put the shot up quick. They want you to make a bounce pass inside because they are shorter than us and they can get to the ball. The match-up wasn't easy for us tonight but it wasn't easy for them either because we're taller.

Fort Scott is getting a quality player who brings many different skills to the field. Brandt covers ground in the outfield as well as anyone. Brandt has worked hard for this opportunity and it is starting to pay off. We are proud of what he has accomplished and wish him the best at the next level.

Fort Mill committed a lot of guys to the run, so it was hard to find holes at first. But we found a way to move the ball and control the game.

Fort McMurray is the second biggest city in Newfoundland -- except it's in Alberta. It's a lot earlier in the day out there. That party will go on even longer.

Fort Madison has a lot of balance and is a very good basketball team. We just didn't get the defensive stops we needed in the third quarter. It just seems like a four-minute span is killing us right now, just as it did at Mount Pleasant.

Fort Lewis told me they wanted me to walk on they didn't think I was good enough (for a scholarship). I've kept that in the back of my mind ever since my hometown didn't think I was good enough. I took that negative and turned it into a positive.

Fort Lewis has been a great partner over the years. They have worked hard to be good stewards of the prairie habitat on the base, even as they advanced their training objectives. We're pleased to have Fort Lewis as a neighbor now and look forward to continued collaboration to improve and care for our rich natural heritage.

Fort Lewis didn't think he was good enough out of high school. Now they can't get him.

Fort is very aggressive defensively. They are athletic and they beat us on the boards. Turnovers and missed shots inside were probably our undoing.

He was a lot like his parents. He loved to go to Fort Myers Beach. Any free time they had they went to the beach.

He grew up in New York and Chicago and liked the idea of an authentic Irish pub in Fort Myers. He spent a lot of time in Ireland and the family has a home there.

He got John moved to Fort Dix, closer to his mom and friends in New York. Orrin got John a guitar, too.

He found an abandoned fort along the river, some wood, nails and an orange grove and moved his family from Key West to the officer's quarters,

We've gone over with the city what they expect and would like to see. We are on a huge deadline. In a few months we'll have close to 300 employees working on this site alone to try and meet that deadline and the deadlines that the city and Fort Riley need.

We sure do hope to see Fort Campbell again. I just mentioned that to my kids -- if they're No. 1, we're No. 1-and-a-half, and we hope to see them again. It will mean more next time.

We told the kids that you have to enjoy wins like this. We waited so long to beat Fort Frye that you can't take these wins for granted.

We are finding out that a lot of Bostonians are making plans to go to Spring Training. I think we've probably gotten more calls about that than I've seen in our years here. One lady sent me an e-mail, she said, 'I know that the van is leaving, I don't care. I'm already in Fort Myers, when is the van arriving?

Here is what is going to happen with a company going into bankruptcy: They are going to cut any flight that isn't full. Fort Wayne is going to be in the boat of not filling up a flight.

He's always by himself. He was on probation, and we came from Fort Lauderdale to start over.

He's kind of at a standstill because he has blister problems. We have to see more from him. Last year he got off to a good start, but right now he's a one-pitch pitcher because of the finger problem. So far, he's been fine this Spring Training. I'm not ready to say he's going to be a front-line guy yet. He hasn't made me a believer yet. He has a Major League fastball, though, and it gets on you in a hurry. He's another long-range guy and will be vying for a job at Fort Wayne.

He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.

We made shots tonight. That's the big difference. I was very pleased with the effort. Fort Bragg is a lot like we are. It could be a 90-point game.

He was hoping things got worked out. Hopefully things still get worked out. We obviously need him, but it is a business first and if Antonio is not here we are going to have to hold the fort down until he gets back.

I was always dressing up as a kid in the backyard, building some sort of fort and having battles against imaginary enemies. It's often that same feeling when you're pretending for a living, but it's with bigger toys.

Keeping a Cold War era base open and closing Fort Monmouth, which is essential to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan , makes no sense,

I think (the festival) is a good opportunity to establish Fort Collins as the literary hotbed of the region. It will allow us to celebrate what we have here already and expand on that.

I think it's the dawn of an age of development at Fort Trumbull, which we've been waiting for quite some time. This signifies a very important step in the process in terms of breaking ground.

It gets down to a question of how proactive stakeholders in Fort Collins want to be in addressing these issues. Some people aren't willing to be proactive, others are, and that's what we're going to find out.

Latinos are very sensitive to different accents. I sort of lost my Mexican accent, and that's what they were looking for in this case some sort of neutral accent that could be understood on both coasts and in different Hispanic communities: Puerto Ricans on the East Coast, Cubans in Fort Lauderdale and Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles.

I was a little surpassed , ... We ran well and had some good looks early. Derek Folds held down the fort for us defensively.

Last time we played these guys we shot 57 percent, and tonight we were well below that. That's to Fort Dodge's credit. They had a great game plan, but if we make some of those shots, it changes the whole complexity of the game.

I saw there were 3,000 people in Fort Bend County, and we knew we could sleep some people here.

Our Velma Kelly is Jill Kelly - no relation - of Fort Wayne.

Refugees attempting to build the blockhouse on the remains of the fort never mounted ... cannons although they may have had at least one with them.

Part of it is the fact that we are getting tired of the bum rap we're getting in Fort Wayne the fat city, the dumb city we want to change our culture to be a more health-conscious city.

My main thing was to come out aggressive on the boards without Marcus and Kenyon playing and hold the fort and I was able to do that.

Long-term there is potential for two in Fort Wayne, but currently we would want to get that one great site.

Marion was the most athletic team we had played all season, before Fort Wayne Snider. All five starters, and maybe the first seven or eight players, are all extremely athletic. We did some things to turn it into an equal playing area against Marion. We'll likely use some of the same things against Snider.

Lincoln County has already got industrial parks in place. It's going to be a great area for tourism with all the established historical things that are here, such as the fort and the Whitley House.

I still remember the way the buses were always coming down here from Fort Wayne. Those were always great games.

I think certainly it's not good news, at least in the short term. If there is a positive spin on it, both the facilities and the employees in both the Fort Kent and Presque Isle offices have always been applauded for their high work ethic and high productivity.

I strongly disagree with that. Clearly, the officials at Fort Huachuca understood Pvt. Lawson was in danger -- otherwise they would not have had him under the drill sergeant's care.

I thought it was great for Fort Riley. You know a lot of these troops have just come back from Iraq and they'll have a big parade out there. It'll be a nice event.
