I never met my proverb

 I never met my grandpa, but of course I've heard the stories from teachers and people who even played with him or who he coached. It feels special to hear about him.

 It's neat. Sometimes you try to resist the temptation of thinking you've heard all the stories and tuning people out, because you'll hear some pretty unique stories. You can't believe how many people came up to me and said, 'Oh, we knew you were going to hit it.' Most people have been really great about it.

 Predators tell kids everything they want to hear. The child feels she or he is special, but usually the predator will have three to five other children that are also being told they are special.

 This is the week for people to hear what teachers need -- what they need, what they want from their government, what they need and want from their communities (and) parents. From everybody that should work and support teachers.
  Laura Bush

 It's incredible the number of personal stories that you hear that identify with the issue. You start talking about it and it's amazing how many people have stories to tell.

 Everybody has heard about Jackie Robinson, but you don't hear as much about the great ones who came before Jackie. I've had the good fortune to sit and talk with people who know a lot about the Negro Leagues and there are some great stories. It makes you want to go do more research about those individuals who made it all happen. It's a thrill that they are being recognized.

 I heard a lot of good stories from guys who had played [in the AFL] and I considered it a pretty big honor to be invited, ... The best thing I heard about it was that it's a hitter's league and I knew I would be facing some of the best Minor League hitters in the game.

 I was selected for the program, which went from July to August, and it was a really special experience for me. I made a lot of connections, the teachers were really great, and that is where I [first] heard about Swarthmore College.

 It feels pretty special, because those are guys that I've heard were tremendous players. To be in that company is very meaningful.

 It caught me by surprise. I kind of heard stories that him and Boston had agreed on a contract and what not, and I hear today that he declined and he might just take some time off. Theo is a very bright guy. I'll always wish him the best. He was always honest with me and was great for the Red Sox.

 I'm very proud of him, ... For me, personally, he's certainly one of our very best stories and one of the best baseball stories we've had. I'm always impressed by guys who beat long odds. When you hear these stories of guys who were undrafted as juniors and have beaten the odds by long shots, I think they're great stories.

 I've never heard 43,000 people get so quiet so quickly, ... You could barely hear and then boom, the only noise you heard was our dugout.

 I used to envy kids who had an old-fashioned Grandpa. Not any more. I've got a new ambition. Now I just want to become a modern-type Grandpa myself-and really start living.

 He talked to us about practice, working hard and things like that. I've heard all of that before, but to hear it from him made it really special. It was a dream come true.
