answering call david hit labor people phone remember sounds yes
It was me, David and one phone line. David was up here on Labor Day answering phones. People would call up and say, 'This sounds like David' and he'd say, 'Uh, yes sir.' Then they'd say, 'I remember that 5-wood you hit in Atlanta.
david guy year
David has always been kind of a back-page guy and this year he's been front-page stuff.
days few four hit three worse
I thought I breezed through it. It hit me a few days later. You do get tired. Will it get worse after three or four months? I don't know.

We seem to have high peaks and low points, but more systems always seem to be coming in.

mistake voice track
When you listen to someone sing from inside their head, their same mix, and you listen to their voice as loud as they like it, or the track of the band as low as they like it, you can really hear all of the nuances and the mistakes if there are any.
sight firsts married
I've definitely had a few moments in my life where I've seen somebody and it's blown me away at first sight, but I guess of those few scenarios, none of them have been like... I'm not married.
war cost causes
Wars--and what is war except crime on a mass scale?--destroy rather than produce. The vandal that destroys a window causes not only the owner to bear the costs of replacing it, but costs those whom he planned on using that money to buy from. The same goes for wars.

faithful-servants done lines
As I’m so often reminded what a priceless gift my life is, I ache with everything in me to make it count, so that when I finally cross the finish line, I’ll hear the words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.
