Round Quotations | Page 7

When Beverly and I got together in 1992, and I moved to be with her in the little round house she'd built in the middle of 20 acres of woods near Amity, I found myself immersed in a natural setting that I responded to with all my being.

We're trying to fit the round pegs into the round holes if we can. We need to start talking to people and figure out what's there. We need to find out who they are, what are their interests, and do they want to stay with the organization.

We need to do a round of funding now. Schmitz is not the only option -- we have lots of options. We are not by any means locked into anybody,

We thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was not going to hit in this rain. I bet we waited seven or eight minutes, and he just stood there. Then they blew the siren, he marked his ball and we went inside. They washed out the round and the next day we re-paired in threes. I either didn't get him, or I had someone else with us so I wasn't as nervous about getting in his way.

We?re not looking that far ahead. Our first goal is to win each game. The second goal is to get into the medal round and just let it fly.

We're not just concerned about the consequences of underage drinking but also with preventing the illegal sale of alcohol to children. We liaise very closely with licensees all year round to make sure that they understand the law, and the consequences of breaking it.

We think the way the rules have been written, it is probably better one driver takes over the whole weekend - we are obviously not doing that in the first race but we will probably round up on that by the end - that will be our focus for the first three rounds.

This time we don't meet until the last group match. Hopefully, both countries will be through to the next round by then.

This time round, there's ... a good mix of youth and experience. It could be the likes of David Beckham and Gary Neville's last World Cup, so I think everyone's going to be desperate this time round to deliver.

This time in Doha, it's not only a matter of launching a round but of making a global trade round work for all countries.

To say I've suddenly discovered the military needs to be involved is like saying wheels should be round instead of square.

To round out our collection of word games, we loved the idea of incorporating the solitaire-style word genre but with a twist. We know that our games are commonly played as a quick escape when there are a few moments in the middle of a busy day, so we built Word Monaco around the 'trip-to-Monaco' theme to truly give our customers a quick vacation from their daily routines.

We had a fantastic round in tough conditions.

We got lazy and we got away from our systems. We did it before in the first round and we've done it in this round. We've lost our focus and to me that isn't acceptable for a team that won 30 games this season.

With all the rain we've had, we had only one practice since our last tournament back on Aug. 6. I and my coaching staff decided to use the first two pool games to work on some things before the elimination round started.

We have seen four years of wrangling without anything happening. They are stuck in quicksand, and if they don't get out by December the round will collapse.

This series will help us know how good a side we are. With the World Cup round the corner, it is important we use this series to gain consistency.

This will go down as the shot heard round the world for the home-audio business. We've been trying to reinvent the stereo since we were born, but little companies can't create new categories by themselves. We need someone with a bigger megaphone, so we're rooting for Apple.

This was a new feeling this year. I've never felt that sense of urgency heading into the final round like we felt (last night). To Pat's credit, he didn't let that get to him. He went out and did his job.

This was a great weekend for the Science of Racing and our new education partner, Drexel University's Math Forum. To go to the final round in our first race of 2006 is beyond belief.

The parties agreed to hold another round of talks by the second quarter of this year and to establish a working group to address, and attempt to resolve, detailed issues in between plenary sessions.

To carry an umbrella without any headgear places a fellow in a social no man's land-in the category of one hurrying round to the corner shop for a bottle of stout on a rainy day at the behest of a nagging landlady.

There are also global implications, not least because a pollution parcel like this, which stretches three kilometers high, can travel half way round the globe in a week.

The previous talks helped all parties accomplish a 'word-to-word' goal, and the new round will focus on how to carry out a commitment on the principle of 'action-to-action', which must be a complicated process.

The players are motivated to the tips of their hairs and they will come out with a lot of passion because they know this opportunity does not come round very often.

We've just got to mix and match over the next two weeks to see which blokes we want to have a look at for Round 1 while tending towards the experienced guys.

With the addition of new network and client performance details, we're giving administrators complete, end-to-end visibility of application performance. They can not only track performance at the application and server level but also, with the addition of round trip metrics, they can visualize performance right down to the individual client.

When you are picking at 53, it is hard because there are 52 picks in front of you and a lot of teams are picking twice. You will have a better feel what is going to be at 53 once you get through the first round because we put down everyone's needs so once they draft in the first round you can focus in on what is going to happen in the second.

When we lost to Boston College (85-65) in the first round of the tournament last year, we played right with them except for a seven- or eight-minute span. You cannot afford to have gaps in a game with Texas because they're capable of overwhelming you in a very short period of time.

When I went round speaking to businesspeople last year, I got the impression that 80% were against the upgrading of the street.

We've overachieved simply by staying in this division. We budget to go out in the first round and now we're in the fifth round.

We had so much interest in this round that we were way over subscribed.

We'd been playing a lot lately and there was nothing on the line. It was kind of a practice round and the kids had more of a free-swinging attitude. Some guys ballooned up a little and some played well.

We are expecting nothing better from the government and its allies in the second round in terms of rigging, in terms of high-handedness and in terms of the involvement of government machinery in the election process.

Two subsequent incidents of import established CNN: the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986, which CNN was the only network to cover as it happened, and the 1991 Gulf War, which CNN chronicled round the clock from a proximity as irresistible as it was alarming, bomb blasts and gunfire lighting up TV screens from coast to coast.

Two sets of coaches will be selected for the two teams. At this stage we are using the names as the Warriors and the Barbarians. At round about the finals of the colonial cup the coaches along with the national selection group will put together the two sides.

When (Schumacher) had his hiccup, I thought that would be their only bad round of the weekend. Our car picked up (speed) every round.

Fairways and greens were the key to my round today. The long rain delay really didn't hurt me, although I was 3-under when play was stopped. I hated to leave the course.

But I wasn't thinking about winning rounds. I was thinking about chopping him down. I knew even before I got there that I could not allow this to go to points. So we never developed no strategy to win this on points because we knew that would be impossible. I knew if he threw one punch a round and I threw a million I knew I would still lose the fight so we developed strategies to knock him out.

Both sides set out their positions in an open and frank manner ... (and) agreed to consult with their respective leaderships with a view of holding another round of talks in January.

Both sides agree on the integrity of the composite dialogue....the third round of the composite dialogue will take place and hopefully, it will start by the end of this year,

Both sides agreed to consult their respective leaderships with the view of holding another round of talks in January with the aim of agreeing on a framework for (formal) negotiations.

The good part is if I play a solid round of golf, it will be very hard for the others to beat me. And that's all I'm thinking about.

The governor appreciates the fact the NLDC has done the right thing and sent out this new round of letters. It was unfortunate it had to come to this.

The government will hold the second round of talks with us from Feb 7 in New Delhi, though the modalities for the negotiations are yet to be worked out.

We've been assuming a first round victory for several months.

We need to have a better second round of the first day. We're losing a lot of shots there.

The government of India has invited us for the second round of talks Feb 7.

The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

While time, the endless idiot, runs screaming round the world.

While the surge in key leading indicators strengthens the case for a further rate hike in the near future, the absence of second round effects from the oil price spike and the decline in headline inflation in late 2005 argue against any haste.

We wanted to do it in the first round in the playoffs, which caused a lot of phone calls at 3 a.m.. This is truly the madness of spring.

We've had varying degrees of negotiation and we are closer in some cases than others. We exchanged figures and we have a second round of negotiations coming.

We've got a big one (tonight). We have to be prepared, because (Utah) has beaten us a few times. Utah could be a team we play in the first round of the playoffs, so we have to show we can hang with them. They're a good hockey club, a lot like Alaska.

Tony continues to rehab and nurse the groin injury that he suffered in the first round of the ACC Tournament against Florida State,

To spend this particular year reading essays to Dennis Robertson as one's supervisor, and, simultaneously, enjoying membership of the group round Keynes was indeed an intellectual treat.

Wow, what a great day for us. I know that each of these girls is capable of a performance like that, but to put it all together in one round is really exciting. Unfortunately, we still have one round to play so we need to re-focus and start looking at tomorrow.

This second round will take a week ... but on this second day we have already received reports (of) reaching around 70 percent. We are optimistic.

This second round of tax cuts was probably the high point, domestically, of Bush's administration. No sooner were they put in place, then the GDP (gross domestic product) growth hit 4 percent and it's been there ever since.

This season will be his season. His all round game's a lot better and there's a lot more to come from him.

To see that was like, what an awesome round of golf. It was telling me you can still make birdies out there. Maybe not as many as he was making, but there's obviously some out there.

The opening round is a wonderful thing for two teams to battle it out to take on a one seed. I was a little confused. I thought we had a better strength of schedule and better quality wins than Southern and should have had their 16 seed.

There is some talk that maybe in the preliminary round we both kind of play and the coaches make a decision (for the medal round). That's what I'm thinking maybe, but I'm not sure.

The other (loss) was in the area round (of the playoffs) against Wylie, 3-0. They're returning a lot of quality younger players from last year.

The other day 16 of us went round to John's house to play a tournament on the PlayStation. We had loads of TVs set up and games going on at once. I don't mean to boast, but I won!

We've helped ourselves through this first round. A lot of teams can do a lot of damage in that first round and we helped ourselves. I was hoping seven or eight can get through but we got six.

Unanswered prayers of lowly birth/On wings of folly round the earth/Illusion clouds the eyes that raise/To the emerald gods they praise.

Vatican II and the Space/Information Age began in the same eye blink of history, with John XXIII's opening speech of Vatican II on Oct. 11, 1962, following John F. Kennedy's call for a round trip to the moon a month earlier.

We had a great body of work. We've had an excellent season. You have to take full account of the season and that's why we're in the field. Even if you've had a so-called strong finish, there's no guarantee you're going to win in the first round either.

We had a good day today. We had a bad quarterfinal round (Friday night). We dropped a lot of close matches we should have won, but to have 10 guys in the wrestle backs for two straight days, that really is a tribute to their character.

We will be meeting with the Chinese again next month and will be consulting with them soon on the location and exact date of the next round of negotiations.

Those two putts turned a good round into a really good round.

Those three seniors have been here all four years, and we've made it past the first round of the playoffs each year. That's their legacy. The players who stay here will have to live up to that legacy.

Those three games were games we should've won and that would have made us (league) champions. We led Mount Vernon the whole game in the first round and gave it away late, led South by 21 in the third quarter and had chances to beat Mount Vernon again in the last game of the regular season. The South loss was especially devastating (to league-title hopes).

This was the one I wanted. I want the district championship but I wanted to get to the round where you know you have a shot to get to the next round. They're excited. After the game, they were asking, 'When's the next game?' They're ready to play.

This was something that I don't think we could count on, but we were prepared for it. We talked quite a bit about it (Tuesday) as the first round was unfolding, and once it got past about the 20th pick, we were pretty confident that he was going to be there for us.

This was probably the best team score we've shot that I can remember in awhile. It was the best competitive round for Katie and Alyssa this season. That's our goal. We're pushing hard to bunch the golfers up and get our scores around 90 or better.

This was a big win for us. We finished in second place in district last year, and we lost in the first round so one of our goals this time around was to go further than we did.

This will be Bernard's first twelve round fight and Wilders will represent a new kind of challenge. He's a very experienced fighter and a former British and European champion so this will be a big test for Bernard.

What I've told the girls is: The ball is round and everyone wears shorts and tank tops. We can shoot with the best of them and defend with the best of them. One thing I know is my girls don't fear anyone.

We got a little sloppy in the middle of the round ... but we had some strong finishes by a couple of players.

We cannot cheat on DNA. We cannot get round photosynthesis. We cannot say I am not going to give a damn about phytoplankton. All these tiny mechanisms provide the preconditions of our planetary life.

We want to finish the final round of talks. We are very close to an agreement that is a priority for the country and we need to establish dates and a work schedule.

Through the first round of league, I'd say Scappoose is the team to beat in the league.

Twenty years and $40 billion. They seem like good round numbers.

You have to play golf one shot at a time, and you don't compound a problem by creating another problem. I always tell them that your round of golf doesn't start until you've hit your first bad shot.

You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, / But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.

With how good our league is, we still might be able to get a bye in the first round of the state tournament, and at least a home game.

With household finances already under considerable stress, one has to wonder if another round of rate hikes will lead to a more severe cutback in consumer spending.

Waterford does everything well. We were in a must-win situation in our first- round game with Sheehan High and I knew we'd bring that same effort into the title game.

This year I definitely have more matches than her -- that's a plus. Generally it's easier to play somebody like this first round than later in the draw. I have nothing to lose against Justine.

What a round of golf that is. I saw him at 8 under and thought he was playing a scramble with Ted Purdy.

What an atmosphere for a high school football game. It was just the fourth game of the season. But it was what you'd expect out of a game in the second round of the playoffs.

What did he run, about 30 meters in the first round and 40 or 50 in the second? You'll see a lot more out of him, he's really looking like he's going to do something impressive ... he's certainly looking like he's in sub-10 form.

We tell our kids that every round in every tournament gets tougher. The good thing about having a tougher match so early is that you get one of the pressure situations out of the way. Now you know you're going to be standing on the podium at the end of (tonight). Now you can go out and go after a championship.

We tried to get that many people (90,707) at practice in Laramie to give us a look, but we couldn't round up that many people. But we made a great effort and came away with a nice check ($700,000) and a healthy team.

We weren't quite on our game. We got behind every round and started pressing, which led to a number of mistakes.

What the deuce is it to me? he interrupted impatiently; "you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work.

When all the world is young, lad, / And all the trees are green; / And every goose a swan, lad / And every lass a queen; / Then hey for boot and horse, lad, / And round the world away: / Young blood must have its course, lad,/ And every dog his day.

We lost by almost 100. And I feel pretty good about how things went. Every single girl on the team played better than I anticipated. Five of them have never played a round of golf in their lives.
