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.

Doug Haynes

It was worthwhile. I felt we got a lot of out it because we played against teams we've never seen before. They didn't know us. I saw some character from our team.

Kevin Boyd

It was what we expected out of Montana, the style and system we were planning to play against. It's one thing to tell the team that this is what's going to happen. It's another to actually play against it. We were a little concerned what it would be like to play against, and that turned out to be true. It was a tough team to play.

Bobby Abreu

It was weird playing against my teammates, especially facing Myers. The Venezuelan people enjoy the games. That's the way they react, and that's how we play.

It was an exciting finish, and the girls were pretty thrilled to win a close one against a good program in a great atmosphere. What pleased me most is that I could tell our girls expected to win. That's a great sign.

Frank Robinson

It was an excellent game. He stayed in the strike zone tonight and he mixed up his pitches. He kept the hitters off balance. You have scouting reports and watch video, but until you hit against a pitcher, you don't have the feel for what he does or the speed of his ball.

We've got 119 I-A schools. Out of 119 of us, I'll bet you 100 are fighting an attrition battle. You've probably got 19 lucky teams. Boy, they're lucky. They've kept their offensive line healthy all year, they've kept their running backs healthy, and they're probably playing for Southern Cal and Texas.

Herman Edwards

I've always had great expectations for defense. Your mind-set as a coach, you know you win with defense, you sell tickets with offense. They understand where I'm coming from. You grow up on one side of the ball you always feel that way.

George Beck

We should have a better defense with more experienced girls in the field. The inexperienced girls are gone. It was a struggle defensively, as well as offensively, last season. The new girls we have should fill the void adequately. More than adequately, actually.

Tom Rodriguez

We should be in every game. I expect to be right in there the last game of the year and hopefully win the section. If the defense holds up, I think we'll be fine. If not, we'll be in trouble.

Jaswant Singh

vigilant in our defense of democracy and constitutional government.

October Harris

We did a great job on defense tonight.

Devin Brown

We did a great job in team defense and we shut down Vince. Richard Jefferson still had a big game, Kidd was a little off. You can't let all three of them have great games or they'll hurt you.

Ed Smith

We did a good job of executing on defense in the first half. But we missed scoring opportunities after turnovers.

Caitlyn Jenner

'Esquire Magazine' just gave me 'Father of the Year'. I'll put it right up there with my gold medal. I survived; that's why they gave it to me.

It wasn't what I wanted. I'd rather leave here with a third than (leave) with nothing at all like I did last year. I guess I wrestled a lot better once I lost because it gave me the drive.

Marc Bulger

It was sort of a wakeup call. It gave us a little spark that we didn't have. I can't say how much that turned the game.

Rupert Sheldrake

So there’s a kind of resurgence of the sense of freedom and spontaneity in nature. From nature being bound into a rigid, deterministic model, freedom, spontaneity and openness are emerging once again. It’s now recognized the future is open, not determined by the past. And this is true in many realms, the astronomical realm, the human realm, the meteorological realm in many ways.

Thomas Mann

If the years of youth are experienced slowly, while the later years of life hurtle past at an ever-increasing speed, it must be habit that causes it. We know full well that the insertion of new habits or the changing of old ones is the only way to preserve life, to renew our sense of time, to rejuvenate, intensify, and retard our experience of time—and thereby renew our sense of life itself. That is the reason for every change of scenery and air..

Thomas Merton

If we live with possibilities we are exiles from the present which is given us by God to be our own, homeless and displaced in a future or a past which are not ours because they are always beyond our reach. The present is our right place, and we can lay hands on whatever it offers us.

Thomas Carlyle

The whole past is the procession of the present.

Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks.

Jodi Picoult

Words, for all they were flimsy and invisible, had great strength. They could be fortified as a castle wall and sharp as a foil. They could bite, slap, shock, wound. But unlike deeds, words couldn't really help you. No promise ever rescued a person; it was the carrying-through of it that brought about salvation.

Plutarch

Words will build no walls.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

I have a predilection for painting that lends joyousness to a wall.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

The purpose of painting is to decorate the walls. Therefore it has to be as rich as possible

Pico Iyer

I remember many years ago, I asked [Dalai Lama] about exile and he said: "Well, exile is good because it's brought me and my people closer to reality," and reality is almost a shrine before which he sits. Exile brings us up against the wall and forces us to rise to the challenge of the moment.

Pico Iyer

Anybody who travels knows that you're not really doing so in order to move around - you're traveling in order to be moved. And really what you're seeing is not just the Grand Canyon or the Great Wall but some moods or intimations or places inside yourself that you never ordinarily see when you're sleepwalking through your daily life.

Phillips Brooks

Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone.

Philip Yancey

When we ignore the world outside the walls we suffer-as does it.
