Famous Quotes & Sayings

Don Buford

As a team, we had a real good spring. Guys swung the bats real well, then all of a sudden everybody went into a slight batting slump together and right now they seem to be working their way out of that and hitting the ball consistently. We've hit some balls hard and haven't had any luck with the hits falling in, but now they're starting to fall in and that's the difference in winning.

Joe Lobendahn

As an individual, my goal is, of course, to have more (tackles) than I had last year. I still need to get an interception -- that's one of my goals, too ... and a touchdown, too. Honestly, as a defense, you're going to see us running to the ball more, everyone just swarming the ball.

Steve Kragthorpe

The bottom line is turnovers, and we did a great job of securing turnovers. We got the ball back with 2:20 left, and I challenged our team to get the first down and to stay on the field. And they did.

I'm not sure they're at our level, and I'm saying that because of what we had. They've got Chad and they've got Rudi. We had Eddie Brown, Tim McGee, Rodney Holman and Cris to stretch the defense.

Fred Couples

Our players embraced him and Chad gets most of the credit for that because of the way he handled the pressure of the job and the praise he got for doing it.

Drew Bledsoe

But, ultimately, when it comes right down to it, I knew what was going on. ... Any speculation that my skills had dropped off is just not correct.

Arthur Conan Doyle

There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion," said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. "It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.

Bai Ling

Arthur Koestler

Zen is to religion what a Japanese "rock garden" is to a garden. Zen knows no god, no afterlife, no good and no evil, as the rock-garden knows no flowers, herbs or shrubs. It has no doctrine or holy writ: its teaching is transmitted mainly in the form of parables as ambiguous as the pebbles in the rock-garden which symbolise now a mountain, now a fleeting tiger. When a disciple asks "What is Zen?", the master's traditional answer is "Three pounds of flax" or "A decaying noodle" or "A toilet stick" or a whack on the pupil's head.

Jane Goodall

It's been proven by quite a few studies that plants are good for our psychological development. If you green an area, the rate of crime goes down. Torture victims begin to recover when they spend time outside in a garden with flowers. So we need them, in some deep psychological sense, which I don't suppose anybody really understands yet.

Jamie Dimon

If you're making all your money simply betting on interest rates, that's not a business. Flow is a business. On the outside, they look the same for a while. But when you dig into them, no, they weren't exactly the same.

Carson McCullers

Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.

Carol Burnett

If you see a kid in school, who is a little shy ... that's when you should reach out. When you do, you are going to open up a flower and discover something wonderful.

Alan Garner

She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting.

Jane Austen

Dear Diary, Today I tried not to think about Mr. Knightly. I tried not to think about him when I discussed the menu with Cook... I tried not to think about him in the garden where I thrice plucked the petals off a daisy to acertain his feelings for Harriet. I don't think we should keep daisies in the garden, they really are a drab little flower. And I tried not to think about him when I went to bed, but something had to be done.
