Famous Quotes & Sayings

Ronald Reagan

The poet called Miss Liberty's torch 'the lamp beside the golden door.' Well, that was the entrance to America, and it still is. And now you really know why we're here tonight. The glistening hope of that lamp is still ours. Every promise, every opportunity, is still golden in this land. And through that golden door our children can walk into tomorrow with the knowledge that no one can be denied the promise that is America. Her heart is full; her torch is still golden, her future bright. She has arms big enough to comfort and strong enough to support, for the strength in her arms is the strength of her people. She will carry on in the '80s unafraid, unashamed, and unsurpassed. In this springtime of hope, some lights seem eternal; America's is.

The shot I hit on the second hole could very easily have missed the cup and rolled 40 feet by. That is the way the ball bounces sometimes.

Dave McCarthy

(The Tigers) had the best of the second half. I thought we controlled the game in the first half. If you can't get the ball forward, though, you're not going to win.

Matt Miller

The thoughts that came to our minds when we came down here was to take their minds off of everything. It's their Spring Break. This gives them some fun, something other than cleaning up. Just throw a ball out there and let them play soccer.

The third quarter was our demise tonight. We continued to take the ball to the ball to the basket, but we just came up empty. When you score four points in one quarter, that's definitely a dry spell.

Cindy Allison

The third quarter really hurt us. They had been playing us full-court man the entire game, but we went through a couple of minutes in that period where Oakland got even more aggressive; we just couldn't hang on to the ball and they were able to score off it.

John Presnell

The third game we laid back a little bit. We were not quite as inspired. We knew that they were going to try and tip and shoot the ball on us. It was a matter of getting our feet going.

Al Melnick

Heather Hibner

The South Park coach made a classy gesture by presenting the game ball to our starting pitcher and then she went home and had the ball cut in half and gave the other half to April, which I thought was pretty cool.

Eddie Kramer

I think the box set represents the four top creative years of his life.

Darren Boyd

After we'd filmed one series of 'Kiss Me Kate,' everyone was saying: 'The guy's got great comic timing,' - that was the first I'd heard of it. I'm not a comedian, I don't want to depend on a singular box of tricks. I like story and characters, to take on world views that are not my own.

Frank Harris

It's a very limited-site area, and I think we've got about 8 pounds in a 5-pound box with this. My feeling is that we've addressed needs in a fairly compact footprint here.

Marcus Pollard

It's pretty simple. I think I made the catch, but the official in the press box didn't see it that way, and that's what we've got to go by.

Scott Savin

It's unbelievable how our staff pulled this off. We had a few glitches - there was a small problem with the walk-around tellers that was fixed after the fourth race, and we had long lines at the concession stands and box office. We understand there were issues, but 99 percent of those are fixable and will be remedied by Saturday.

Rick Riordan

I like both Greek and Egyptian. More Greek stories have survived, so we know more about them. They've always been my favorite. On the other hand, I like the Egyptian stories because they're not as commonly known and they have an exotic flavour.

Donald Brashear

When you look at a fellow, if you taught yourself to look for it, you can see his song written on him. Tell you what kind of man he is in the world.

C. S. Lewis

But the most obvious fact about praise -- whether of God or anything -- strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise. ... The world rings with praise -- lovers praising their mistresses, readers their favorite poet, walkers praising the countryside, players praising their favorite game. ... I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation.

Urban Meyer

But what I didnt want to have happen, and I made this clear to Jeremy (Florida AD), if I am able to go coach, I want to coach at one place, the University of Florida. It would be a travesty, it would be ridiculous to all of a sudden come back and get the feeling back, get the health back, feel good again and then all of a sudden go throw some other colors on my shirt and go coach? I dont want to do that. I have too much love for this University and these players and for what weve built.

I was always geared towards either wanting to finish number one or be number one as far as the best player that I could be, or be the best player at my position in the league.

Zakk Wylde

Without a doubt, Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player who has ever lived.

Do I use VORP? I may be using it and not even know it, and if I am, it's nobody's business. There are a lot of different criteria in judging players. I think I use, um, esoteric qualitative mathematical review times five. That's one of them.
