Seniors Quotations

Not too many years ago, both parties acknowledged that our entitlement commitments were a sword hanging over our heads. But when President George W. Bush tried to begin discussions on Social Security reform, Democrats ridiculed and demonized him and told seniors he was after their nest eggs.

Government spending clearly needs some adjusting. But a budget is a statement of our priorities, and balancing our spending on the backs of our nation's seniors is not the right approach.

I've always done the safest thing, which is to assume that it's going to feel like that, to assume that you're going to feel like a freshman in a group of seniors - if you expect the worst, then it's never going to be that bad.

I feel like all the parts are seniors in high school and seventh graders, and I think I kinda skipped that awkward stage by not working those years.

Pharmaceuticals have become an increasingly important part of modern medicine, and our seniors shouldn't have to worry about whether they can afford the medicines they need to stay healthy and maintain their independence.

I agree with President Roosevelt, and generations since, that American seniors deserve better than poverty.

I believe that as a nation we must have a bipartisan discussion about how to best preserve and protect Social Security for our seniors and for future generations of Americans.

It remains to be seen the extent to which the critical needs of seniors in low income high rises, people with home medical needs and those with disabilities have been adequately planned for and met during widespread power outages. I fear the answers.

I stand with the millions of seniors and working people who depend on Social Security and who expect the money they put in to be there for them when they retire.

You know, for most seniors Medicare is their only form of health care.

This drug coverage program was clearly designed by Republicans in Congress to serve the interests of the drug and insurance industries. America's seniors were an afterthought.

High school is a haunted house in April, when seniors act up because the end is near. Even those who hate school sometimes cling to the devil they know. And for the kids who love it, the goodbyes are hard to think about.

Guys never looked at me. I always had crushes on older seniors who never looked at me. So, when I tell directors that I wanna play that girl who gets rejected, they're like, 'Why?' I tell them it's because I relate to that girl much more than being the girl who makes jaws drop when she walks into a room.

The positive drum beat has caught up with the negative one. But on an individual basis, most seniors still can't answer the big question: 'What does it mean for me?

We've always been known for our defense. We have so many seniors and they've worked so hard. Defense is just what we try to do.

We've already felt the impact of one injury, so losing Nick is another significant blow. This isn't the way the season was supposed to be drawn up for two of our four seniors who have had such an impact on our program.

We've all just learned so much from (Pearl), and we're a reflection of him on the court. He's working just as hard as we are on the sidelines, and we're just very fortunate to have him as well as the rest of his staff. It really has become a perfect fit, and I'm very happy for the seniors that they're able to have this success under him in their last year.

We started the year with a victory and we ended the regular season with a victory. I was glad for the seniors to get a win over Perry. We were very aggressive and ready to wrestle whereas earlier in the evening versus ADM that wasn't the case.

We started the season with a little setback because we had to have two seniors move to the setter position where they haven't ever played. I know I have the hitters that I can use to run some plays and we're just now getting the confidence in the setters.

There are some good seniors from our community college area we hope to sign, too.

We started five seniors to show that any loss can be their last game. I think the guys performed well against Oconee. We didn't do much different, but I wanted them to know that any loss would be their last high school game.

We started all the seniors today. They played really well as a group for pretty much the first quarter. The rest of the team came in and kept the intensity up. I felt like we played well.

Watching the young guys progress has really been great and rewarding. The seniors ... we feel we've been doing the best we can to help the guys come along. When I see things happen, see plays run right or Mario, Julian, Brandon, Micah going hard in different situations, it shows me how far they've come. I'm excited about our potential, too.

When it came down to the last few games in district we had to win to make the playoffs and the kids stepped up and got it done. They stepped up again Tuesday night in a playoff atmosphere. Our seniors have dreamed about playing at the nice facility at Lee College. It's nice to see them accomplish that and play the way they did.

We're going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at them (tonight) and see what works. They have a lot of juniors and seniors and have been in the playoff environment before. It's going to be a really tough game for us. We really have to play well.

We're going to the South side on Tuesday. Our seniors have never won down there.

We're going to miss those seniors who left. They were a great group of kids, but I think we'll be able to move on. When you sit down and think about it, we were really young last year and played a lot of sophomores.

What this group of seniors has accomplished in this athletic program is ridiculous. They are just fantastic.

What a great way for the seniors to go out.

What a game. I was torn because I wanted to see our league do well, but I also wanted to see those seniors for Tennessee win. It was hard to watch.

What a future they have now. Even after me and (senior) Rachel (Panning) and all the other seniors leave, what a future they'll have, because a whole bunch of our scoring opportunities are coming from our younger classes.

We found that 70 percent of these activities are still in progress, ... Yet even with the additional weight placed on these criteria, more than half of the 24 departments and agencies earned 'A's' this quarter. Just as you would not grade college seniors on the same set of criteria expected of college juniors, our expectations for this quarter rose.

We graduated so many seniors that this is really a young team. We're going to take our lumps just because we're so young. We've got new pitching because we lost five pitchers. We lost all three catchers. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains, and that's why the trip like the guys are taking down to Missouri is very important. They're going to get a lot of games in and we can kind of sort things out a little bit to try to get ready for conference play down the road.

We graduated 11 seniors and six starters. But I don't consider this a rebuilding year.

We believe we need to tackle this problem with the same sense of urgency felt by our seniors who are forced to choose between medicine and food.

We believe we can hang with anyone in Class A. Our eight seniors never stop coming.

Us seniors just want to keep playing. We just came in loose (to the sectional), flew under people's radar and then took care of business.

Us seniors didn't want it to be our last game. I think we wanted it more than them at the end. It was a great game.

With Nikki pitching, or Taylor pitching, there aren't many balls hit to our fielders, and when there is one, our defense came up real big and made the plays. Even if there was a hit, we're not getting rattled. The six seniors kind of hold us together.

We're going to do everything as seniors to keep this going.

We fatigued, and that can't happen against a team that big and physical. I feel bad for our seniors that we let this one get away, but we were just dead tired in the end.

We feel that there are nine winnable games left. And we really want to end the season on a positive note and take our four seniors out on a positive note. We really want to prove something-that we're a better team than what we started out as.

We're expecting a big year out of every one of them. All of our seniors have experience.

We're excited. We've got 13 girls and eight are freshmen and sophomores. This is a good experience for them. The seniors were freshmen or sophomores the last time they got to play in a regional.

We're basically getting it done with five seniors and a junior.

We're a young team with only two seniors on the court. Quite frankly, all year we've been struggling with making mistakes. I knew we had the ability to get to state, but I didn't know about our mental ability.

We knocked down our free throws the fourth quarter and still took it to the basket. We weren't tentative, and that's really a good step for a young team. We know that almost all our scoring has to come from guys who haven't played much. Our seniors are role players, they don't score much.

We know we've got a Herculean task in front of us, same as last year. Our (five) seniors didn't want to lose this one, though. They wanted to practice and play basketball at least one more week.

We know each other pretty well because the juniors and current seniors have been playing together since the fourth grade. We've grown to rely on one another which is why we're so balanced and have such good team chemistry. We count on each other because if one is struggling, another is right there to help them out.

With traditional means of funding retirement shifting, life settlement offers a new opportunity to seniors seeking to utilize their hard-earned assets. As factors such as rising interest rates and stagnant equity markets continue to affect personal finances, life settlement provides an avenue to support the retirements of our client base.

With this new magazine, SUNRISE, we will be sharing the vast knowledge, insights and experience we have gained serving seniors for the past 25 years. As our society ages, I believe SUNRISE magazine's features, comfort, inspiration and solutions will prove to become an idea whose time has come.

We're still making too many mistakes for four seniors and a junior. I know they will go out (today) and give a good effort.

We're still looking for our go-to guy, but I'm starting to see senior leadership start to form. I sat the seniors down and talked to them about stepping up. I don't know if it just hit them or if they're tired of losing, but they're starting to step up.

We rested a few kids and bumped some others up tonight. We tried to get as many seniors in the lineup as possible. It was a good chance for some of the kids.

We're searching for leaders right now. We had to play with a make-shift line and we lost some great seniors heading into this season.

We've got four seniors this year who are giving us some good leadership. We lost three, but we gained four. And we've got some younger players who are hitting the ball just as well as anybody.

We've got four seniors and I don't anticipate any of them coming out. They're doing a good job of leading so far, I think.

We've got five seniors who are doing a great job of leading this team, five guys who won't accept anything but the best. There's been a positive, contagious atmosphere, and we've gotten in some good training with good intensity through some brutal heat.

We've got a young team this year, but my seniors stepped up today. Amos did really good today and so did Travis Davis. Amos is one of the top 99ers around. They both do a great job. They live in the weight room.

We've got a solid six or seven kids with no seniors and only one junior. Our kids were pleased to get that first win and we're hopeful of winning some more.

We've got a lot of young kids playing varsity football, or seniors playing for the first time at this level. We were real inconsistent offensively and on defense.

We have to find some high jumpers. We graduated two seniors who did very well.

We have no on-site parking for visitors, family, etc. This is a seniors building. Many of our visitors are seniors and have trouble walking 100 yards.

What these seniors have done is impressive. I told these guys that it used to take, eight, nine, 10 years for T.J. to win 29 games, but these guys have helped build a foundation.

Whenever you have seniors you hate to see them go. I know it was a special night for Mark and Jason.

We were trying to get the seniors to lead us, but the younger guys stepped up.

We want to send our seniors out on top so we're going to treat it like it was the Rose Bowl or the national championship game.

We were in a position where we could go out and do it. That's what we were playing for. ... Whether it's a tie or not, that's the way the seniors wanted to go out.

We are going to lose a few seniors who are very important to our team. Chris Barnes, he's just a leader for us. He'll make a big play when we need it. We don't have too many seniors, but all the seniors are key players.

This was a special meet because these are a special group of girls. The seniors are very special to this team and it is going to be hard to let this group of girls go. I am so proud of this team, and this was a great end to a great season.

What we need to do is get them where we need them the most, that's our challenge right now, ... But we're very optimistic that the seniors and very young children and those who need the doses will be able to get them.

The only two people that had good games were the seniors. They can't do any more than they did. You hope on Senior Day a lot of people would have their best games to send them out on a great day, but really it was only the seniors that had good games.

There are eight seniors on this team, many of which have extensive varsity experience. That is the main reason why we have such high hopes and expectations this year.

We decided to go with New Horizons because it's designed to give seniors the opportunity to perform music.

We've been here and seen what it's like. We'll come back with five seniors and five juniors next year. I think we'll be pretty formidable.

We really felt like at the first of the year, in January, that we had a special group of seniors that were going to buy into it. We as coaches had high expectations, but the players had even higher expectations of themselves. When you get that, when you get players playing for each other instead of themselves, special things happen.

We really don't see this is an expansion of wagering. We had wagering yesterday and we're going to have wagering tomorrow. We do see this as an expansion of benefits. The benefits are to preserve jobs and to enhance racing at Oaklawn, create jobs and generate new tax revenue for Hot Springs and to benefit our seniors and our students.

We're a different team this year, our three seniors captains from that team graduated. Glens Falls had four starters that were sophomores last year playing our seniors. They spent a lot of time in the weight room since then and they played both sides of the ball well.

We're a better team when I'm on the floor and up until the Houston game, I was playing well. The seniors need me out there. Hassan needs me out there to help out and I do a better job as far as disrupting teams when I'm out there and we're a better team when I'm out there. I think everybody can see that.

We're a really young team. I graduated eight starting seniors from last year. We're rebuilding. Really, the guys are having to learn as we go along. Very few of them have game experience, so we're learning. So we're going to make some mistakes but we're learning from those too.

We're a pretty young team. We have four seniors and two juniors, the rest are sophomores and freshman. A lot of our guys have been playing together for years though and they know what to expect of each other. They like the game and they know what they're doing out there. We just need to get some repetitions ? at the plate and in the field ? and I think they'll come along very well.

We held serve at home and I'm really proud of our seniors and our veterans the way we fought back. And I can't say enough about Michigan State.

We have zero tolerance for insurance agents who deceive our seniors and cheat them out of their hard-earned retirement funds.

We did real well tonight and the guys played hard. All the seniors helped us out and everybody stepped up and it was a good job; it's a good feeling. We didn't play that well last night and we just got things going tonight.

We have really had a balanced attack this year. Chandler and Alex have both shot the ball really well at times, and the seniors have really helped the juniors come along.

We have really been so successful because of the hard work and dedication the girls have put in. It was a difficult transition for the freshmen coming in, but the seniors really stepped up and got them used to high school level competition.

We have quite a few seniors who have waited for their opportunity and now they are getting their opportunity to play.

We have a young team, with a whole new infield, but our seniors are in good positions. The move worked out pretty good.

We have a young team this year, with only three seniors and two juniors. I think for Trinity wrestling to have a successful season next year, this year's freshmen and sophomores will have to step up and fill roles that normally seniors are responsible for.

We've sort of came from nowhere this year. We were picked fifth in our conference (Olympic) and no one expected a lot out of us. We've had our seniors really step up and as far as the 14 individuals on our team, they've all contributed in some way.

We've seen so much enthusiasm for this program in Orlando and Atlanta. The seniors are eager to go online and use email, and the students are proud of their role as teacher and mentor - ultimately we'd like to bring this program to schools and senior centers across the country.

We've seen it about 10 times. You have to be ready to play. Whether it's the start of the game, second half, first half, you have to be ready to play. I can't go out there and play. You have to be ready to play as a player. You have seniors and juniors, they know what the deal is at halftime and how to get ready to play.

We have rooms that leak due to poor roof conditions. Also, take a look at class sizes. Thirty-plus full-grown seniors are stuck in a 600-square-foot room. At class transition times, students must cram into the small hallways. It is a safety issue.

We have six seniors that just play off each other as one. We don't have one key guy. We're going to have to play some defense.

When it was scheduled three years ago, we had no idea necessarily we'd be at this point. It worked out and we're certainly very happy for it. Some of these guys talked about dreaming about this in middle school, and for them to step up as seniors on their home field, it's special.

We have a saying: The way you practice is the way you play. Guys who don't play much, practice is their game. Seniors can make it real difficult if they're not playing. We've been very lucky our seniors have been able to handle that.

We have a saying in sports. It is not whether you fall down that counts, it is whether you get back up. All three of those seniors have that kind of mentality.

We have a number of seniors on the team, some who didn't get a lot of experience last year. And, I believe we're a lot better than our 12-12 record would indicate.

We're looking to step up one last time as a team. This is a great group of seniors and they want one more win.

This win is indicative of why this team is different from Heath teams of the past. We didn't shoot the ball very well at all. But we found a way to win in the end. Our seniors stepped up and really led us to this victory.
