Famous Quotes & Sayings

Bobby Kielty

Sometimes that's a case where you might take a pitch and see if he goes 3-0, but in that situation against a guy like that, you want to try to get a fastball. He threw a good pitch to hit and I was able to capitalize on it.

Tomas Vokoun

It was a long night. I think we just ran out gas in that last game. Walton-Verona is one of the best teams we have on our schedule along with Oldham County and we won a game against both, so we're not doing too bad. We just have to find a way to get over the hump.

Erron Kinney

I think the biggest difference is (Dungy) has had people in key positions that have been there and understand the system. When they have plays they make them. It used to be they did a lot of stunting and got caught up out of position. They're playing straight up with a lot of speed and they rally to the ball.

Mark Brunell

He gives 110 percent. What impresses me the most about Clinton is when he doesn't have the ball. It's when he's protecting the passer, when he's blocking for a receiver downfield. He's always going.

Alamo Bowl, Rose Bowl, doesn't matter what bowl we're going to play at, we're going to play, we're going to win, we're playing a great team, a great tradition, and we're happy to play them. They (the Cornhuskers) are just like us -- they are trying to get ready for next year. And this game is going to decide that. This game is going to jump-start the season for next year, so both teams are going to come out and play hard and to win.

Will Sheridan

Allan set a screen for me and (the defenders) both went for him. I would have done the same thing.

Richard Mitchell

A line runs from the meditations of the heart to the words of the mouth. Themeditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouthutters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are thesame. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become themeditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of ourunderstanding.

I'm really putting my life towards helping women to invest, and there's a circular reference here because if women can invest and give themselves the opportunity to earn higher returns, they can start those businesses. They can go to work with a little more confidence to ask for that promotion, to ask for the new assignment, etc.

Sallie Krawcheck
