I couldn't think of gezegde

 I couldn't think of a meaner thing that could happen.
  David Smith

 There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
  Jane Jacobs

 It Couldn't Be Done

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.
  Edgar A. Guest

 I couldn't concentrate on the game. The only thing I could think about was what had happened to him. He's the last guy you want to see that happen to. He's worked so hard.

 I couldn't believe -- it was my worst nightmare coming true. And in that same situation, I feel like it can happen there in Columbus. And that, you know, parents don't think that it can happen. I never thought it could happen to us. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through.

 We just shut the engine off. We just couldn't get it back. It's a hard thing to do in sports and I think all of us have seen it and unfortunately an experienced team like this, it shouldn't happen to.

 I couldn't believe all the permits and other things I had to get in order to obtain festival approval. In the end, though, the city officials have been pretty enthusiastic about the whole thing. They can't wait to see it happen.

 You couldn't have scripted it any better than that. The guy came back and he's not supposed to be back. He took a risk and a gamble to have the surgery and help us. I couldn't be any more happier for him. This was one of those days when it was a special moment to have the uniform on, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

 There are no street lights out here, so I couldn't see the vehicle to get a description. It was just a bit unnerving. It upset my wife and it's a bit ironic that we moved here several years ago from Birmingham to get away from this type of thing, only to have it happen here.

 What could the thing that was to happen to him be, after all, but just this thing that had begun to happen? Her dying, her death, his consequent solitude - that was what he had figured as the beast in the jungle.
  Jr. Henry James

 The thing I'm worried about is this deferred money these people have to pay in 10 years, 20 years. What's going to happen then? We really couldn't get any answers on that.

 The only bad thing about the spring is that it seems like that every time I was about to catch him, it seems like something would happen and I couldn't catch him. I want to make him understand that I'm there 100 percent behind and I want to be there behind the plate when he's pitching.

 That bothers me the most. We had all the momentum. Not only a blocked punt, but a second blocked punt... we're at home, the crowd is going nuts, you couldn't have asked for a better situation.... and we couldn't capitalize. We couldn't make it happen.

 He walks with this air of confidence. He always knew this day would come. I couldn't be happier for him. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

 It was hard thinking about what had happened, as much as I tried not to. I went back to the hotel and I couldn't stop thinking about it because I was the next ranked athlete behind Grant (Hackett) and just to think 'What if I get second? What's going to happen? And that type of thing'.
