Match Quotations

Buying a particular vintage because everyone tips it and then waiting for it to mature is like gambling. The thrill is in placing the bet. Once the race is run or the match is played, you'll either win or lose. Until that happens, you're caught in this wonderful, agonising sense of expectation.

I'm involved in quite a few ministries as a bridge builder, trying to match generous givers and donors to other ministries. Based on my past, I'm also involved in mainly the prison ministry. I go to jails and prisons and share my story, trying to give them some hope.

Fencing is a game of living chess, a match where reflexes only work in combination with intent, and mind and body must work together at every moment.

In the summer, you miss the match days, but my wife gets angry, as she doesn't see me on weekends. And football is work. I'm still working on the weekends.

You've always got to have the right blend of colour. You'd be silly to match a yellow t-shirt with a light green pair of trousers, you know? You can wear different colours at the same time, and as long as they blend with each other then it works. That's what I like.

Being named a great school at a great price means that we offer both high-quality academic programs and real affordability for families. We offer a personal touch that's hard to match at a big school but without a big price tag.

Debt, we've learned, is the match that lights the fire of every crisis.

Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.

There was a mission: To match the cover of 'Extraordinary' to the cover of the paperback 'Impossible,' which was commercially successful. Consider the outdoor natural setting, the single girl in motion with her hair blowing, and the cursive font used for the title; both covers have these in common.

I dated a guy and he liked me but I didn't like him. I went through his wardrobe and cleaned out his house and got him to get a new car. He said to me, 'If I give you $10,000, will you find me my wife because I want someone like you?' And within a year, he got married. That was the first match that led to me leaving my corporate job.

He knew of my work on the medical match and wondered if similar efforts might help reorganize the dysfunctional, congested system then used to match students to high schools.

Unfortunately, I think it's very difficult to separate policy from politics. In a perfect world, in some instances, you probably would want to.

Curiosity, rationalization, and laziness are no match against courage, self-control, and mental toughness.

There's nothing to be gained, and much to be lost, in trying to bend every child to match a one-size-fits-all notion of what it means to be a boy or girl of a specific age. Better to set a few parameters and then go with the flow. Call it 'jazz parenting.'

But, at the end of the day, we need to represent the taxpayers who have made enormous sacrifices. Many have lost their jobs. Many of them have seen their companies - they don't have a pension - they have seen their companies cut the match for their 401(k). They have seen their health care benefits be shredded.

When I played Bobby Fischer, my opponent fought against organizations - the television producers and the match organizers. But he never fought against me personally. I lost to Bobby before the match because he was already stronger than I. He won normally.

The Olympics is not really about the sport, it's about the story behind the person. You keep the sport relatively simple to understand - let the fans understand that a takedown is 1 point, a turn is 2, a pin and the match is over. Keep it simple, and keep the story on the individual.

A lot of times, fighters get not only physically tired but mentally exhausted. It's like a chess match - you're thinking of offense and defense at the same time. It's almost exhausting to think about it. After a while, you just go, 'I'll move my pawn.' A lot of times in fights, people get exhausted, and they're just sick of trying to focus on it.

I have a special feeling for Blue Hills CC, where I won perhaps the most important tournament of my life when I was 14 - the Kansas City Match Play Championship. It gave me a dream of becoming a professional golfer.

Fartlek, or speed play, is variable-pace running that emphasizes creativity. During a 30-minute run, choose objects to run to - telephone poles, trees, buildings, other runners, whatever. Make choices that mark off different distances, so your pickups vary in length from 15 to 90 seconds, and modify your pace to match the distance.

The director is planning on titling the film 'Yummy Fur' so we are probably planning on changing the title of the book to 'Yummy Fur' to match the film.

Hierarchical formulations died because their wedding cake levels posited a multiply fractured cosmos that does not match the Space Age revelation of a unified universe in which the earth is clearly in, rather than separated from, the heavens. Hierarchical representations do not reflect what either the world or we are like.

Probably in 2035 we will pass that mantle on to China. It will be the biggest economy in the world, and it will go way past us and way past India. Given the growth, the size, the opportunities, I don't think there's any other place in the world that can match it.

When I was asked to compose a score for... 'Palo Alto,' I first thought to myself, 'What is the house that these characters would want to live in?'

If, in our first match for the world champion's title, I had managed to make the score 6-0, there would have been no Kasparov as a good chess player at all.

I feel that my relationship with Kasparov now is much the same as it had been before the match - good. As for his reaction, well it can't be nice to lose your title after so long, but he was very generous.

When you find a song that you love, you just have to do it - why would I try to match it? When I wrote more of the songs in the '90s - 'Nick of Time' and other songs I was surprised I came up with - it was because nobody else was saying what I wanted to say.

I haven't done fillers or Botox for ages. There comes a point where you have to match bits of you with the other bits; otherwise, you get a terribly random situation.

We started out slow, tentative in the first game, but put it together after that. It was a big match for us to establish a top-level position in the league.

We started out aiming at the top six so we have done well. We have played some good football and shown we can match the best so I am delighted with the lads. We want to finish on a high.

We don't have anybody to match up with Humphrey, as far as strength. She's just a tremendous player. This year, she's brought a three-point game with her that's just scary.

Watching her inspires me to get better. I didn't approach the match any differently. In fact, I was a little excited. I don't think I swung any harder. She plays a very smart game out there.

We're going to play the most sophisticated chess game, chess match ever known to man, with a virus.

We're going to play much better (tonight) than we did Sunday. As a team we all know we're much better than how we played on Sunday. Hartford came out playing with desperation that day and we just didn't match their intensity. But we're still in a 2-2 series and we're not panicking.

We're going to miss him. We're going to sort of dedicate the match to him.

We're going to go as far as our pitching takes us. Our offense is going to match up against anybody ...

We're going to Dunedin to win the Tri-nations, not to defend it. We do not want to wait another week to see what will happen in the match between the All Blacks and the Wallabies. It is probably the worst thing in the world to wait and see if you are going to win the trophy. We must make sure we retain the title ourselves.

We're going to do what we think is best. What we did against Oakland may or may not be what we think is best against Carolina. Last year we played Indianapolis in one type of a defense. We played Pittsburgh in another type of a defense. We played Philadelphia in another type of a defense. We're going to do what we think we need to do to try to match up and stop the opponents. I'm not making any promises to anything or anybody about what we're going to do.

When we engraved the 442 names on the back of the medals - that's when the reality sinks in. Everybody in the whole plant had to be involved to check the names and match the medals with the cases. You see names of fathers and sons and brothers and the reality sinks in that basically whole families were wiped out trying to help people. But that's what we do - what we manufacture generally has a higher degree of meaning to those that receive it. It's not just any award.

When we got done with that match I said he's a top-10 player,

When we first get to space, we feel sick. Your body is really confused. You're dizzy. Your lunch is floating around in your belly because you're floating. What you see doesn't match what you feel, and you want to throw up.

What a day Brock had. Brock had all kinds of confidence today. He got better with each match and had a great tournament.

We wrestled Mount Pleasant at Trinity's Elite Duals, but Zach and Donnie didn't face each other. It will be a great match ... assuming both make it to the final.

We wrestled him tough all match and it just didn't turn out our way. It doesn't sit good in your stomach. I don't like it.

We wrestled a terrific dual as a team against Purdue, which is what we have been looking for all season. Everyone wrestled hard and we had some guys step up big at a few weight classes. Darren's match was really the marquee one of the dual, that is as good of a college match as I have seen in a while.

What happens when you match an inept registry with crafty businessmen? The answer is a really large scam.

We believe we have been within a hit or two or an out or two of having a different record more favorable to the wins category. It's within our control to win games. We know you can't make excuses, but we have come close to beating some top teams. We feel we can match up against anybody, but we have to compete at the highest level to do so.

We're going to match our athletes against their athletes.
