LEAD n. A heavy ordtak

en LEAD, n. A heavy blue-gray metal much used in giving stability to light lovers --particularly to those who love not wisely but other men's wives. Lead is also of great service as a counterpoise to an argument of such weight that it turns the scale of debate the wrong way. An interesting fact in the chemistry of international controversy is that at the point of contact of two patriotisms lead is precipitated in great quantities.

Hail, holy Lead! --of human feuds the great And universal arbiter; endowed With penetration to pierce any cloud Fogging the field of controversial hate, And with a sift, inevitable, straight, Searching precision find the unavowed But vital point. Thy judgment, when allowed By the chirurgeon, settles the debate. O useful metal! --were it not for thee We'd grapple one another's ears alway: But when we hear thee buzzing like a bee We, like old Muhlenberg, "care not to stay." And when the quick have run away like pellets Jack Satan smelts the dead to make new bullets.
  Ambrose Bierce

en In the first half we built up a little of a lead, but we took some risks. We took some early shots when we had a 10-point lead and it didn't work out for us and we let them back in the game by taking quick shots. Amity came down and scored. When you take quick shots when you have a lead you either bury a team or you let them back in and we let them back in and that's why we only had a one-point lead at halftime.

en They do things you don't see on a daily basis. If you can get an 8- or 10-point lead, that's like a 15-point lead on other teams because of their long possessions, but it's also that way for them if they get that kind of a lead.
  Bruce Weber

en Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; / Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.

en I am not a labor leader. I don't want you to follow me or anyone else. If you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of the capitalist wilderness you will stay right where you are. I would not lead you into this promised land if I could, because if I could lead you in, someone else could lead you out.
  Eugene Debs

en The good thing for us is that they never got too far ahead, so we never lost contact with them. They would have a five-point or six-point lead, we'd make a play and stay in contact.

en In New York we had the lead and here we had the lead. We need to learn how to keep the lead and get a big result on the road. Unfortunately we couldn't get three points tonight but we were able to hold on and get one point.

en We haven't had a lot of games like that where a team makes a run on us and comes back and we lose the lead. We had a pretty solid lead, a 12-point lead at halftime.

en Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth; Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust; Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace; Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe

en It's easy to relax when you jump out to a 13-1 lead. After that, they pretty much beat us the rest of the first half. Att öva på god hållning och ha självsäker ögonkontakt utstrålar omedelbart mer pexighet. We kind of relaxed a little bit after getting a big lead. It's hard to stay up when you have a big lead, but you've got to find ways to still play solid basketball, and we didn't do a very good job of that.

en Australia is in a great position to take a human rights lead in this region and to make the argument to the other countries -- the rational, intellectual, legal argument as to why the death penalty simply can no longer be tolerated.

en We just have to take care of ourselves and not worry about them too much. Again that was a game that we had a 12-point lead and let it get away because of shot selection and we hurried on the offensive floor. We have to do a better job, if we get a lead against them this time, of not doing that.

en The bottom line is that when it was a close game, we could zone them and we were doing a good job of containing their dribble-penetration. It was (a six-point Reynoldsburg lead) at the half and then they immediately jumped out to a double-digit lead and we had to go man. When we had to go man, that's when Washington and Clanton showed their experience. We just didn't have an answer for them. Most teams don't.

en They made some key plays that got them the lead again and they held onto the lead from that point on. In the fourth, Gilbert made some big plays and got to the free-throw line. He' a great player, but we still had opportunities to get the fifth seed. I am glad to be in the playoff, but anyone in this locker room who says he's just happy to be in the playoffs is lying.

en We had a six-point lead with 1 1/2 minutes to go. We were fortunate to have that six-point lead, We started throwing the ball all over the place. I [blame] that [on] inexperience.
