Round Quotations | Page 6

We drafted Terrell Owens in the first round ... YOU hammer out his extension.

We hope this round will be a step toward achieving comprehensive settlement and a comprehensive solution, at the forefront of which comes a lifting of the embargo imposed on our people for more than 12 years,

We hope the second round of Beijing talks will start as early as possible, to promote the dialogue for a peaceful resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue.

We do not expect to be able to achieve a core agreement in one round of negotiations.

We're calling for another wet round of showers moving in the start of the new work week late Sunday night, continuing through midweek.

We're definitely ready. We've been to the playoffs before, so we know what to expect. We wrestle in the first round Tuesday night, so we're anxious.

We finally decided to organize the second round on April 21, which is a Friday, for practical reasons.

We have some strong players. Cory, Carter Mills, Bram Simms all play at a very high level. I see that to be our strength. I don't see them as the guys that can carry the team. We need to find a few others that play all-year round that need to step up.

We have agreement on more aid, we have consensus on debt relief -- now let's complete the picture and deliver a true development round on trade.

We have a lot of schools coming out, which means a lot of kids. So far, we have 800 students signed up to compete. It would be great for all those athletes that the cheer squads support all year round to come out and support their spirit squads on Saturday.

We have a lot of logistical changes with the move to Round Lake. But for the anglers the contest should be very similar to past years.

We've got some tough matches, but we like to turn that around and say no one really wants to wrestle a Rapids kid in the first round of the tournament. To be champion you have to beat everyone. It's just too bad that some championship caliber matches will be held on Thursday night.

We've made it to the first round the past few years. We feel good (making it) past that point.

We have to play a good round tomorrow to stay in middle of this thing, which we are capable of doing. We haven't had a great day yet; we had two good days. I have a feeling we have a good round left in us.

Usually we only see a thick vapor layer from Earth, but with our camera we can look into it, see shapes in the clouds and a spiral round the pole.

Usually, they raise fares several times a year, but it's been 18 months since the last hike. This may be round one of many more to come.

We're taking these games starting with tonight like they are the playoffs. We won tonight and now we're moving to the next round against Carroll.

We have already made a plan to hold another round early next year, maybe at the end of January or early February.

We had our best round of the year going and stood about 7-over par with six holes left. Then we fell apart down the stretch, shooting 16-over in the final six holes.

We have the nucleus of a good team. We lost two seniors, but we've got five of our starters back. We feel we have something to build around. We think we have the nucleus of a strong team, we just have to round into shape.

We were going through the first round of district and I was sitting there thinking I can't wait until the second round so I can see if we have some improvement. It's been 100 percent improvement against everyone and we got a couple of wins in the process. This team played three games in three nights. I was proud that we competed in all three of these games.

Today was a pretty tough day weather wise. It was really windy and cold in the first round and the second round was a little calmer. We had a couple of bad holes that cost us a lot of shots in that first round.

Today was a pretty boring, uneventful round of golf, but I'm thrilled. I never felt like it was mine. You never know what's going to happen. I'm glad it's over. I'm really proud to have won here twice.

Today was a pretty boring, uneventful round of golf, but I'm thrilled.

When I first started out, I absolutely begged my agent to get me a Poirot audition, and my wish came true - I did a Poirot! I need to do a Marple to round it off.

Under the current scenario, a round of profit-taking usually comes shortly after bargain hunting. Without any concrete regulatory stimulus and rosy corporate earnings reports, the market faces a downward pressure after gaining more than 10 percent this year.

We get home field advantage, a first round bye...the table was set for us to do our thing and get to the big dance.

We have a few days just to get ready for Dallas. Hey, we worked hard down the stretch. A lot of guys were out and we found a way to get in. That's the most important thing. Now it's round one, and this is when you're judged and we all have to be ready for Dallas.

We got off to a good start. Our kids were really throwing darts with their irons and the greens are putting real well. You're going to see a lot of good scores after this round - not just ours, but from a lot of people.

We haven't beaten them since I've been here, and they got to the second round since I left. I'm probably no good to anybody.

We have no time to make big changes, particularly on the team's lineup with just less than two weeks prior to the qualifying round Feb. 15 to 19.

We have noted in the past that our third-quarter earnings per share estimate of 47 cents (versus First Call consensus of 57 cents) would probably be too low if UPS settled early and a second round of freight diversion did not occur, ... As a result of last night's announcement, we will likely be raising our third-quarter EPS estimate in the next few days, once we get better visibility about some details of the contract.

We have not concluded this round of base realignment and closure, because there are two more steps to be taken - one by the president and one by the Congress,

We haven't made it past the first round before. It's a big weekend. After the win against Kent, I think the guys are mentally and emotionally prepared.

We haven't gotten out of the first round (the past two seasons) and you can't blame him. A team has to get the job done collectively. . . . I think (Anthony) is ready to step out. Hopefully, it will be in (these) playoffs. This will kind of be his coming-out party.

We are in better shape, numbers-wise. Last year, we had difficulty if we wanted to make adjustments. For example, against Burroughs (in the first round of the playoffs), we wanted an extra defensive back, and we did not have one. So the more players will give us more flexibility.

We are in a very difficult situation. All of us want a successful round, but we want a round that is meaningful.

We are hoping to be able to conclude consultations on the action plans for all three countries of the South Caucasus as rapidly as possible, and consultations up to this point have gone very well. We've just completed the second round - - the first was held just before Christmas -- and we are making very good progress. We are narrowing down the number of topics that still have to be tackled.

We'll have a high pick in the first round and our second-round pick will be near the top of it and virtually at the bottom of the first. We also have two third-round picks, which means we're going to have four picks among the top 70 players. I think those four picks can have a significant impact.

We'll experience a different side to Melbourne this year. The Australian Grand Prix isn't the first round of the championship this season and the race has been put back a month into the Australian autumn. The city always gives Formula One an extremely enthusiastic welcome though and I'm sure we'll all be won over by the atmosphere again in 2006.

We were in third place the whole day until the last round when the guys turned it around. The just stepped it up another level. We had five who took third and two that took fourth.

Today we have competitive threats from all round the world, China and India.

We are not going to round up and deport 12 million people, but we're not going to hand out citizenship cards, either. There will be a process. We will see what the American people are willing to support. But it will not be unconstitutional executive orders like the ones Barack Obama has forced on us.

We are not going to be sore losers but we are human beings. The right of a second round of elections is inscribed in the election rules.

We had an OK first round today, but we didn't get a lot out of the rest of the day. We didn't finish our moves, we were just kind of were dead. We're going to come back tomorrow, though, and hopefully still get some medals.

We played well enough to win, but not well enough to make a statement as we approach the midway part of the season. We need to make a statement and get to 3-3 after the first round of the BRC schedule.

We played with heavy hearts. The kids did a great job under the circumstances and to finish the round is an accomplishment in itself.

We played a really good game against West Coast (in Round 21), and the Richmond game in Round 22 was a messy game.

We played a practice round in the wind yesterday. I think that helped us a lot. We knew where we could hit and where we couldn't hit it.

We played a little better today, but still not as well as we can. We were able to move up one spot today and still have a shot to win with a solid round on Wednesday.

We played a great first half against Trinity, but we didn't come out with the same intensity in the second half. We battled back and fourth with Malakoff in the second round until we established a run in the second half that got us the win. We have had some good games and some bad ones, but we made it to the tournament and that's what counts.

We still have two section games remaining. So we just need to keep winning to make sure we get to stay home for the first round of the playoffs.

Tomorrow I've got to do it again, I have to shoot the lowest round I possibly can.

There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.

There is little reason to believe that the current round of cases will resolve the matter once and for all, regardless of how the process plays out. Without a negotiated solution, chances are high that the dispute will continue.

There is increased likelihood that China and the United States can make substantial progress or even sign an agreement during the fourth round of talks,

This would be a very crucial round of talks and could determine which way the peace process moves from here on.

to try to prepare for another round of six-party talks, including preparing a draft document that might be used at those talks.

Traditionally, Christmas Day is the busiest day of the year at 7-Eleven. A majority of our customers are men, and many have come to depend on another holiday tradition -- 7-Eleven being open round the clock on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Track is a sport where your body will get a little worn. But I played sports all year round and we had good coaches and training.

To (win) three first round matches and really have four extremely quality matches is excellent. Everybody contributed along the way.

This strikes me as Round 1 in a five-part drama. I'd be very surprised if something does not end up on the ballot in either June or November.

To beat a kid of that quality in the first round was big. That win showed John that he was capable of beating anybody.

We'd like to think that's a position that has some depth and quality. There are going to be some in the first or second round which you would hope could come in and help immediately.

We were kind of talking about it, joking around. It didn't seem like (the Big East tournament run) had much effect. It seemed like we could have lost in the first round and it wouldn't have changed much.

We want to compete for the section title and progress further than the first round of the playoffs.

We were a little disappointed with our round three because that has always been our strong round. We were only down one point and Rockford hit their round three and we didn't.

We beat them with our full team before, and they beat us twice. It doesn't make any difference. If we face them in the first round of the playoffs, we'll be ready for them. The playoffs start next Saturday or Sunday. I'll be ready.

The fact that these obviously talented athletes have not made it to the next round shows that Australian women's basketball is in the enviable position of having an amazing depth of talent at present.

The fact that the bidding went to a second round implies that either the league's reserve price wasn't met or, more likely, that two or more bids are fairly similar. So there's a danger that Sky doesn't win two of the remaining three packages, or they have to pay up for them.

The explosion did displace manhole covers two round steel ones and it also displaced a concrete cover as well.

Well, The Island of Dr Moreau wasn't very good, was it? I remember the day Brando turned round to me and said this was the craziest thing he'd ever been involved in.

We used to get them in the third and fourth round because no one else was looking for that guy. We didn't have to take them that high. Now those guys are getting drafted higher because a lot more teams are looking for them. If you wait, someone else is going to grab him before you do.

Walking round the Champs-Elysees late at night is the greatest time.

There are a lot of places to put in and take out. There are round trips you can do. It's tidal here, you just have to pay attention to the currents.

We believe that this latest round of price cuts may be indicative of pricing pressure Oracle is experiencing from low-cost database alternatives such as Microsoft's newly released SQL Server 2005 and open-source offerings.

We came in here real confident, but had to change engines after the second round. You never know what's going to happen when you make a change like that. But we made the changes for the final round and, with some luck, we won.

We only want to go to Round Rock one time, and this is not the week. This was a tough course and we didn't run our best race of the year. We're getting to the point the girls really want to run for something, and it shows. I think you will see a different team.

We picked a guy that can make a more immediate impact to the success of our football team now than anybody we would have picked in the first round. There wasn't anybody in the first round who could come in and do for us what Trent Green can do for us. That's a fact.

While Slovakia did not make the first round of NATO membership, as various requirements and reforms are instituted, these actions will enhance the opportunities to join NATO.

Who so beset him round / With dismal stories, / Do but themselves confound; / His strength the more is.

We were very upset to lose in the first round of the playoffs last year, but it happened, so we moved on and focused on getting ready for this season.

Though he pulled a bit of a surprise when he showed up wearing a hat for Round 1 of the recent PGA Championship, when thunderstorms were predicted. ''I'll wear a hat if I think it's going to rain or get windy.

We arrived at this decision a short time back that these are the two players that we would pick from to make our first round pick.

We can't seem to catch a break this season. Every time we turn around, someone else is getting hurt. Hopefully we can get as healthy as possible in time for the first round of the state tournament.

We can't lose here, we're not proving people wrong if we can't even get out of the first round of the NIT. How can we say they made a mistake if we couldn't get out of the first round of the NIT?

We climbed up.until I finally saw through a round opening the beauteous things which Heaven holds. And there we came out to see, once more, the stars.

We have been flying over the jungle looking for somewhere to land and finally a clearing appeared. We landed to refuel for a second round of talks on specific issues.

We have grown statewide to over 13,000 people participating year round in 22 different sports.

When people finish a round of golf, they want to come into a nice clubhouse with their friends. Because of the age and condition of the building, we haven't been able to offer that.

We will form a vigilance team to inspect all the 4,000 ready-made garment factories round the year and detect violators, who will face strict action.

We will face serious challenges in this round of negotiations that will go far in defining our future, but there is no way that we will allow our retirees to become sacrificial lambs in the process. To allow a company to renege on commitments it made in the past, just so it can further feed an insatiable appetite now for more profits and bigger bonuses is just flat-out wrong.

We wouldn't have wanted Bradford in the first round but it's the luck of the draw. It could have been a lot easier. We know what to expect. We're not scared of them. It would have been nice to play them at home but it will be a good game.

This will be a good opportunity to explain to our partners that a successful round in Doha will be good for our respective countries, our workers, our farmers, our business people,

This round will be gone in about four minutes, maybe three,

This round was what I neeed. Everything clicked. ... I needed some luck with good play and I got some breaks. The eagle at 16 was key.

There have been so many majors that got away, starting at Riviera in '95, taking a three-shot lead into the final round of the PGA and not winning.

There is a certain appeal to going to a nice round number like 5 percent. But if we get some bad inflation numbers, then they won't stop at 5 percent.

There is a big teflon factor for Uribe. It does not matter what accusations come up. Chances of him winning a first round victory remain high.

There is a 30% chance of rain for round #2 on Sunday, so we are hoping Mother Nature will cooperate. The track will be trick today, so we will have to stay on our toes.
