 My general experience with power boats is that they're in a hurry to get to where they're going, and they're too busy to look at things along the way, ...

 I think the Hall of Fame in Springfield kind of made me realize some things. ... There's a lot of people in the Hall of Fame that are dead.

 What's fame? a fancy's life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.

  Blaise Pascal

 Death makes no conquest of this conqueror: For now he lives in fame, though not in life.
  William Shakespeare

 You talk to him, and he's in a hurry. We're in a hurry to have him, but we don't want to do anything to set him back. I talked to him the other day, and he said that's the best he's felt after he has thrown. We want to continue on that same progress.

 We are in a hurry; we should all be in a hurry to rush assistance to victims. They should not be allowed to go through yet another traumatic experience.

 He's sneaky-quick, even in the bullpen. Especially when he's going inside, it gets there in a hurry - or it appears to get there in a hurry.
