Famous Quotes & Sayings

Marquis de Lafayette

Richard Engel

Each time there is a conflict between Israel and Gaza, accusations fly over who started it, each side blaming the other.

John Cornwell

I find it significant that, even though contemporary philosophy tends towards forms of determinism, in the wider culture people are deeply into naming, shaming and blaming each other. So we haven't lost that sense of conscience.

Nick Saban

I don't think we played very well. We didn't look quick, we didn't look fast and we didn't play with the same energy level that I've seen us play with throughout the year so far. I'm not blaming it on anything because that's not my nature, but we certainly didn't have the energy and the enthusiasm that we've played with to this point.

Tom Donohue

I think it's extraordinary that we've gotten off the position where the EU is looking to us, blaming us -- which is getting to be a habit over there. We stepped up and put it on the table. Now they can stop talking and starting acting.

If this opens up so we have more and more officers speaking up and blaming Rumsfeld and blaming senior civilians, then it is possibly heading towards a fairly dangerous civilian-military crisis.

Jeff Gundy

That was probably part defense and probably partly them missing shots they can make.

Jordan Leedle

We have an excellent defense. All of the goals that have been scored on us have been on free kicks and penalty kicks so nothing from the run of play. Defense is definitely what we pride ourselves on.

Chris Kirkpatrick

We have a mix of new and veteran kids on our defensive unit, and they held them to one score and 198 total yards, including only 68 passing. That was most satisfying. It's much easier to win games with defense than by trying to outscore somebody.

Mel Wilkins

We have a lot of young players, and they had some first-time jitters in CIF. I told them to start stepping up their defense in the second quarter, and they did. They need to remember that defense wins games.

Erin Lind

We need to keep playing as a team, and keep working on our defense and not make stupid fouls.

We could have lost this game. They've got some great leadership on this team. To come in here like that and play like this, the defense was just awesome.

Mike Ferda

The penalty on Hicks' reverse was a big one, but we did get a new series of downs with plenty of time left.

We haven't gotten any negative feedback. It's all positive; there's no downside to it. We see the results of husbandry training on a regular basis.

Andrew Luck

I think a punt can be a big play in a game. If it's anything like a real game, then you realize that a Pat McAfee punt that downs someone inside the 2-yard line can really swing a game. I'm all for punting in video games.

Luis Gonzalez

I think since we are a veteran team we realize that so many players play this game and go through so many ups and downs that a lot of the guys don't ever get the opportunity to play in the playoffs or a World Series. So I feel very fortunate to have reached this accomplishment.

Lindsay Davenport

New York has its ups and downs for every player.

Ram Shriram

Ken Keller

His music is great but I like him as a man. Willie has had his ups and downs but he's a good man. He helps farmers, he shares his wealth and he has a lot of integrity.

We could not stop them. We couldn't get them off the field.

Gary Smith

We were specializing in track and field alone.

Hines Ward

We have a guy that when it's time to play around, he's joking with the players. But when it's time for business, to get on that field and get better, he's all about business. We respect that. It makes you want to go out and fight even harder for the guy.

Bob Kitchens

We have a full field in every race, and a quality field, too.

I was told once by a leftwing scholar that as a Marxist, you have to do two things: always be optimistic and always have a view about everything. That advice still sounds good to me.

Thierry Henry

I've always loved New York; I've been visiting New York since 1996. People don't look at you like, 'What are you doing? What are you wearing?' There is also that thing that when people know that you have worked hard to get something, people have that respect for that here. You worked hard - good for you.

Iggy Azalea

I feel like 'Work' was a really good song for people to get to know me, as it's obviously biographical. With 'Bounce,' I wanted to make sure people know there's a fun side to me as well as the somber and serious one.

I'm in a very good place to make records. Needing to make money off music is very dangerous.

Idina Menzel

I used to be someone that needed nine hours of sleep; otherwise, I didn't think I was going to sound good when I sang, and I was very disciplined and anal about my preparation. When you become a parent, there just isn't that time, you know?

Idina Menzel

I made a good living for a teenager. And I had to learn all different kinds of music - jazz, swing, Motown, pop - and that inspired what kind of music I started to write.

Ivar Giaever

Understanding truth is the primary objective of science, not doing good for the world.

Devron Bostick

That was real big. I think that's what sparked us to start playing better on offense and better on defense.

We've got seven returning starters on offense and seven returning on defense,

S. Walker

Michael's getting his offense better. He went through a stretch where he wasn't shooting it much. We told him you've got to start shooting more, scoring more.

Chet Stachitas

We just couldn't get our offense going in the first half.

Andy Reid

I thought offensively there was too much pressure on Donovan. We didn't do well on third-and-long situations and we can do better there. We had too many penalties at costly times during drives.

Gary Turcott

We have to run our offense better and a lot more efficiently.
