Famous Quotes & Sayings

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.

Flip Saunders

Kind of how we've been for 37 games. Different guys lead us over different parts of the game, play unselfish. Thirty assists, eight turnovers, that's kind of where we've been when we win games. I think how we played tonight against New York is pretty much how this team has played through the first half of this season.

Brian Vereb

Kids coming out of high school are coached better today. Nothing against the coaches I had in high school; I thought they were great coaches. But everything is so specialized now.

Gerald Doucet

I would not put my money against it.

Kevin had a great spring. He started off slow, having a nagging injury, but he is starting to swing the bat well. He is seeing the ball well and centers the ball so well. Kevin is so strong that the ball has a lot of carry. He can just power the ball out of here.

Matthew Stevens

Ken played fantastic and didn't miss more than five or six balls all the way through.

Kids don't care. Whoever can take them down the field and score and help them win ball games, that's who they will follow.

Matthew King

I wouldn't say I hit the ball well but I scrambled well and putted well and hit some good shots on the back nine and took my chances there, ... I'm feeling good. I would like to feel more comfortable with my tee-to-green game, but it is a nice problem to have.

Phil Garner

I wouldn't say he pitched poorly, I'd say that they did a good job of putting the ball in play. They are a good hitting team. They're going to get some hits on you.

Sean Miller

I would use the word alarming. We're a team that practices very well and hard, and we pass the ball well, and we've shown we can rebound. Through nine games, we all have to take a hard look at what we need to do to shore that up. If we could shore that up, we'd have a terrific team.

Courtney Pratt

It became pretty clear we weren't going to get any kind of wage concessions from our labour union,

It became clear to us in that case there is no best practice and it is frequently something where you have to go with something that is the best for your institution.

Susanna Moore

On its 2015 list, the Fish and Wildlife Service included the 'ea, or hawksbill turtle, as well as the green turtle, Ridley sea turtle, leatherback turtle and loggerhead turtle.

Isaac Stern

His style of playing, particularly in his early years, was a stunning patrician elegance with a very natural musical line which fitted the style of whatever composition.

Tina Deese

Holly pitched well again. It's a shame we couldn't get the victory for her tonight. We'll have to go out and get a win in Pensacola tomorrow night. I'm really impressed with the way Holly has thrown this early in the season.

Bill Graham

I think it's early to talk about votes.

We're on track to hit our goal of 50,000 people.

Marian Gaborik

We've got to try to find more ugly goals out there.

Joe Thornton

We thought we played real good 5-on-5, and if we can pop another goal on the power play we'll be fine.

B.o.B

I met will.i.am in the studio and played him a couple of songs and he liked them. We're similar but there's nobody in my lane doing what I'm doing.

Lee Daniels

I never saw Glitter, but I liked her work in the other film.

Ronda Rousey

I never really liked weightlifting because there is no problem solving, whereas when I am fighting, I am trying to solve a problem, so I don't think about being tired. I box, wrestle, do jujitsu, run up sand dunes; every single day is something different so that I am mentally engaged. That's what makes me want to train longer.

Julian Fellowes

I like people who don't accept boundaries. Like Florence Nightingale. And Napoleon or Louis XIV, though I'm not sure how much I'd have liked to meet them. I admire people who aren't circumscribed by circumstance.

Joe Wilcox

It is the most visually oriented social networking application I have seen thus far.

Shari Brill

They need Thursday to be their strong night, ... Thursday was such a strong night for them so long that they used to get by without winning any other night of the week. The other networks used to roll over.

There's a way to do networking that isn't overly brown-nosing.

Roland Nash

When it comes down to it, it is a net positive. But there are so many more important things.

Going to the gym on my own I struggle with, but when I'm in there with a teammate or a group of guys, it's the ultimate environment.

Alejandro Canizares

He's a valuable player. He's one of the top three on the team, so we had a much weaker team this week.

Sergei Samsonov

Profits are better than wages.

David Ricardo

But a rise in the wages of labour would not equally affect commodities produced with machinery quickly consumed, and commodities produced with machinery slowly consumed.

Thomas Perez

Raising the minimum wage isn't just pro-worker; it's pro-economic growth.

Tim Powers

The wages of courage is death, lad, but it's the wages of everything else, too.

Jim Hightower
