I hate it when people say somebody has a "speech impediment", even if he does, because it could hurt his feelings. So instead, I call it a "speech improvement", and I go up to the guy and say, "Hey, Bob, I like your speech improvement." I think this makes him feel better. |

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: / Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. |

I have not been looking forward to Wednesday because I have to find a way to properly address the team and Anthony. Senior Night is always emotional, but I think this will be particularly emotional because I've been as close to this kid personally as any kid I've coached. |
I have raised this issue with the government officials. I pressed to have the report as soon as possible. It is particularly important in light of the opening of the trials [of those] charged with very serious crimes following the May [2005] national election in Ethiopia. |
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. |
I have the option of starting on Friday with Greg and Andy [Murray], Greg and Alan [Mackin] or with Andy and Alan. I've already made the decision, because I don't like to leave these things to the last minute, but I'm not going to say what that decision is until the draw. |
I have the utmost respect for him. The booing did not affect his game and he just got on with it. He came to see me on Monday and said he wanted to play in the reserves to keep fit and be ready when needed. That's the sort of attitude that is needed at this football club. |
I have this audiotape that I made when I was like 6 or 7 that's just one side of a conversation with spaces for me to fill in the rest, ... So, I could play it back and talk to myself. Don't know if that's art, but it was definitely a sort of way of taking care of myself. |
I have to always bring the energy and bring what has gotten me here, and never forget that. If that's a staple every night - killing penalties, bringing energy, being good in a lot of different areas defensively - then that'll lead to opportunities for me or my teammates. |
I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically, we get three mandates: to love God, to love each other, and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction. |
I just felt so bad for him — his year has been that way. He's had such strong cars in every race. I think he's probably had the strongest car over the year, but he's had the worst luck over the year. I just felt so bad when I saw that thing stall. I couldn't believe it. |
I just had a tough time finding some open looks. I got a good look on my first shot and a good look on my last shot. Other than that, I was just trying to make something happen. I probably should have taken only three or four shots, but they did a good job of locating me. |
I just told Clint I'm honored that the organization has asked me to come back, but I'm not going to decide whether to come back until the season is over, ... It's a big commitment. I want to make sure the decision I make is the best for this organization and my situation. |
