What I do is great fun. But it's honestly a pretty ridiculous thing. I mean I skate around on ice in tights, right? ... I always felt like if I ever did something big like this I wanted to be prepared to give something back ... The best way to thank someone is by helping someone else. |
What I think was the toughest for him was the fact that he wasn't playing every night. That's tough for anybody. Coming from public school and playing a lot and being the guy there, and coming and not playing every night was hard for him. But the way he handled it was with such class. |
What I've seen is that these young players in our system are progressing at a rapid pace. It's especially pleasing to know that we don't necessarily need to count on those players at this point, which is good because they probably need some more experience before they are fully ready. |

What Robbie needs to learn is to concentrate every single pitch, every single inning. That will come in time. He's a good kid and he wants to learn, that's encouraging. He is definitely not lazy. That's one word I heard used about him when I came here -- lazy -- but I haven't seen it. |
What the government gave is a pittance. To reconstruct my home I need about 200,000 rupees. Now because of the quake I cannot work in my farms. The choice is between going hungry and making a house. So we decided to spend as little on the house and keep the rest for emergency rations. |
What we see happening is exactly what he said was going to happen. It kind of puts you in a hard position to then have any kind of deniability. You can try to blame other people if he wants, but it's a little bit of a stretch in credibility in light of what he said before he got here. |
What we're looking for is someone with a combination of fiscal awareness and educational vision. We're looking for someone who, first and foremost, is going to be a good manager for what is essentially a $50 million business that is providing for the education of an entire generation. |
What's stunning about their ability to raise reasonable doubt there is that the facts clearly show that he intentionally slit her throat despite his jailhouse confession to the contrary. Somehow Brittain and Williams raised enough reasonable doubt on that question to avoid the needle. |

When critics begin to identify something that they see as a tendency, they tend to write about what people have in common. And what they share may not be the most important aspects of the work. In fact, it's what makes each artist's work different from the others which is interesting. |
When Dan Cooper puts together a budget that shatters state spending records, I can understand why he's sensitive about someone looking over his shoulder. But Gov. Sanford's job is to look out for the hard-working taxpayers of this state, and that's always going to be his top priority. |
When decisions are made without taking into account sound military recommendations, sound military decision-making, sound planning, then we're bound to make mistakes. When we violate the principles of war with mass and unity of command and unity of effort, we do that at our own peril. |
Sammy Hagar (1947-) |
When he spins, he is very fast. He knows where he is in the air. He twists better than any diver I have ever had. He has two dives he does -- a forward somersault with two twists and a back somersault with two-and-a-half twists -- that are his strongest dives. They score well for him. |
