We have had a quarter century of tuition going up faster than family income. And we've had completely inadequate increases in the Pell grant.

You have to be able to play at a high energy level and with hope, and we couldn't get anything going to give us that hope.

Bob DuPuy

Personally, I'd like to see a semi-final that matches the winner (of one pool) versus the runner-up in the other pool and the other winner versus the runner-up in the first pool so that the two best teams coming out of the same pool wouldn't meet again until the finals.

Rhonda Rompola

Our slow start in the first half hurt us. We dug ourselves a hole against a very, very good team.

Wayne Grant

Ryan Crawford

Our entire front row is (6-foot-2 or taller), and we put up a huge block against everybody. Most of the time when we block right, they're not going to be able to get it over with authority. It's going to be a roll shot or a tip to the corner. You've got to have guys back there who are on the same page and ready to get the ball back to the setter.

Richard Boucher

Our embassy in Beijing and our consulate general in Guangzhou have again registered our deep concerns over lack of due process.

Dave Martin

Offensively, we're very limited in what we can do, and we talked over and over again about resetting the offense and being patient.

Through the years we've raised not only through the golf tournament, but through other charitable concerts, we've raised over $600,000.

Ronald Reagan

However, our task is far from over. Our friends in the other party will never forgive us for our success, and are doing everything in their power to rewrite history. Listening to the liberals, you'd think that the 1980's were the worst period since the Great Depression, filled with suffering and despair. I don't know about you, but I'm getting awfully tired of the whining voices from the White House these days. They're claiming there was a decade of greed and neglect, but you and I know better than that. We were there. (RNC Annual Gala, Feb. 3, 1994)

Peter Cowley

I can see wrong-headed but well-intentioned people saying bad data will just reinforce stereotypes.

Bobby May

That's not a very good start, I'm afraid. This is a big day for me, an important day, one that when I started thinking about doing this and actually making this appearance, I began to get a little nervous about what's actually happening. Just maintaining your composure is not easy for me, but I'm going to forge forward.

Pete Newell

Bill Sharman was coach at that time and I didn't want to intrude, ... But Kermit had to learn to play facing the basket, which he'd never done. So, I began meeting him at the Loyola gym at 7:30 each morning and we'd work on his development.

Mike Fratello

I thought New Jersey was very good. They were very good in the first half, and we began giving effort in the third quarter. They did everything well. On offense they executed.

Sebastien Bourdais

I think the talk began probably because we haven't scored as many poles as we did last year and we haven't been as dominant this year, but the truth is that the other teams have stepped it up,

Dr. Tucker

Chris DiMarco

I get noticed a lot more. You get the double takes, and it's cool.

I guess I kinda lost control, because in the middle of the play I ran up and lit the evil puppet villain on fire. No, I didn't. Just kidding. I just said that to help illustrate one of the human emotions, which is freaking out. Another emotion is greed, as when you kill someone for money, or something like that. Another emotion is generosity, as when you pay someone double what he paid for his stupid puppet.

Mike Jones

That was my first double-overtime match of the season. You're always tired going into double overtime. You've just got to give it that little extra and make sure you win it.

Willie Randolph

That's the toughest thing for a young player to learn, and at the major-league level he has to be able to do it consistently. It's tougher to turn the double play at second than at shortstop because your back is to the runner. You have to have a lot of heart, nerve and confidence.

Clara Barton

Although its growth may seem to have been slow, it is to be remembered that it is not a shrub, or plant, to shoot up in the summerand wither in the frosts.

I always thought I'd get farther.

What made my obstacles insurmountable, what consigned me to mediocrity, is me, just me. I thought for so long, forever, that I was strong enough -- or I misunderstood what strength was.

Elie Wiesel
