James Jones Quotations

We're making them take tough shots. Our communication is better on D, and you need that, especially when you play on the road.

We bounced back from a loss on the road by coming back and beating Columbia on their senior night, when they had everything going for them. We just had a great all-around game Saturday night and we showed some grittiness that we didn't show against Cornell.

We're not asking anybody here to stop what you're doing. We're asking you to do what you're doing in moderation. There's a scripture that says let your moderation be known unto all men.

When he finished packing, he walked out on to the third-floor porch of the barracks brushing the dust from his hands, a very neat and deceptively slim young man in the summer khakis that were still early morning fresh.

My main concern is that we get back on the right track with our winning ways, and I know we can do that.

My activity alone got me going. I've been feeling pretty good for a few games. The shots weren't falling, but I'm energized.

If they can remember their address, they can do it properly.

I don't have one or two. Do you have one?

I didn't get the job because I look like a lion. I got the job because I can read the words on the page and say them out loud.

I'm an American, and always will be. I happen to love that big, awkward, sprawling country very much - and its big, awkward, sprawling people.

I don't think we shot the ball particularly well in our back court. We struggled making shots. I thought they did a better job defensively against us, and we did a poor job defensively against them.

I don't think people like to read about themselves or about others as they really are. It would be too horrifying.

We've got to go back to the drawing board. We should of had these boys. We've got to see what we did wrong, and make up for it, and just get better.

He observed neighborhoods, people in neighborhoods, and he learned how they talk. I think that is the greatest achievement that he has done - he brought that to his plays, the language of people.

He's just getting his rhythm going. Getting back to being the player that he could be has taken him a little bit, and its nice to see he's playing up to his potential.

There aren't any No. 1 options on this team. It's the first good look or good basketball play you see.

Judge Michael was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed by his colleagues on the bench and the other members of our court family,

I think that they shoot the ball very well from outside. Their biggest problem is they lost their center and they haven't replaced him with someone scoring under the basket and running the team on the offensive end. If you don't come to play and defend them, they're able to make shots.

I think that when you play a team a second time, and the first time you play them you destroy them, your psyche isn't in the right place. We all knew that this game wouldn't be easy, and that we would have to play harder than we did in the first game, but we didn't do that.

I think that a classic style in writing tends to remove the reader one level from the immediacy of the experience. For any normal reader, I think a colloquial style makes him feel more as though he is within the action, instead of just reading about it.

Jimmy caught the big one around 1:30 using a plastic worm. We were fishing off the Little River and it was the last one we caught.

Over the past half-dozen years they've spent almost $2 billion in various kinds of safeguards, to make sure that people are registered correctly, to make sure that there's minimum opportunity for fraud on the voting cards, to have as much of a foolproof conduct of the election as possible,

Steve does a great job of getting everyone involved. When we're balanced, we're unbeatable. But when we rely on one or two guys to carry us, we're in trouble.

It felt good, as good as it can be coming back from a severe ankle sprain. The adrenaline was going, the electricity was in the building and my teammates were playing hard. I mean, that drives you. I'm pretty sure I'll feel a little bit of something later tonight or tomorrow, but it really doesn't matter, we got a win.

I'm shocked and deeply saddened, and I send my deepest sympathies to the Cosby family.

Theaters like (the Landmark), I hope they will forever be salvaged. Long live this theater!

Mike believes in us. He told me to trust my first instinct.

We played better defense in the second half. We really shut them down and they got no easy baskets. We made them work for everything they got.

You know it's kind of hard to say from my side looking in. I think that coach Miller is a blank coach. Whether his relationship with the Penn basketball program is secure or not kind of remains to be seen.

What if we do go to some other planet, discover it has life, and then not be able to get the baby snakes, or whatever they are, deathworms probably, out of the capsule, and then rather than sacrificing themselves and not coming back, the astronauts bring back the ultimate in irritating apartment pests. In 2106, people will be complaining about having deathworms in their bread.

We didn't get to the free throw line. And if you don't get to the free throw line, that hurts your ability to put points on the board.

We did not play fundamentally sound defensively, and we got out-rebounded 34-29 by a minus-two Penn team.

Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the death of Kenobi, and will soon see the end of the Rebellion.

What President Zedillo has tried to do is to make the campaign and the election day counting both fair and honest. That's what's historic. Mexico will truly be a democracy.

We knew both of them. It was funny, because depending on who you talked to, some people thought Nick was better and others thought Caleb was better. Anytime you can get two kids who can shoot and pass the way they do, you find spots for both of them.

We had these guys, but special teams hurt us a lot. We couldn't stop them as well sometimes on defense in situations. We've just got to make more plays.

We are united not only in our grief, but also in our resolve to build a better world. Our spirit is unbroken -- in fact, it is stronger than ever.

We're going to try to keep it going on the road. The big things will be to stay poised and limit our mistakes.

We did a poor job of handling pressure.

We did a much better job in the second half of getting our passing angles.

And when that happens, Mexico will have really leapt forward to first-world respectability.

The simple beauty of August's words struck me profoundly. The lines just seemed to have a life of their own leading me along as I read it.

The thing you also have to understand is that our strength is the depth of our team. When you have Matt Kyle and Ross Morin come off the bench in those spots, that just adds to our potential to be successful down low.

I've learned that racism will not be taken as a given. I don't think we should ever accept it.

Ross has been really steady for us. He gave us a lot of energy off the bench.

You see, as I go along, I've come to consider bravery as just about the most pernicious of virtues. Bravery is a horrible thing. The human race has it left over from the animal world and we can't get rid of it.

you probably know more 'Star Wars' quotes than I do.

You can't look past Princeton. No matter what, they're always going to be a tough game to play because of their style and their history. They have more guys who can shoot than they had last year, and they try to take advantage of their three-point shooting.

They're going to be two hard games this weekend. I do have a lot of confidence that we can be successful. We had a good week of practice, and our guys played hard. They're focused, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform.

It's just another game against a team in our league.

It seems like every week we hear of new excitement or response from celebrities. Last week, James Earl Jones agreeing to attend, this week a signed beanie baby from Paul McCartney!

It's a building process. It's about playing smart. Our aggressiveness and intensity is our forte, but, at times, we have to play a little smarter.

It's kind of hard to compare what they did to Cornell and Columbia to our team because we're so different. If we're going to beat them, we just need to take care of the basketball and take care of ourselves. We have to do the things we're capable of and that we're supposed to do.

The basketball is a huge part of it. Everybody's dream is to go to the (NCAA) Tournament. They all want to be in the Super 64.

It's hard to come into this stadium and win. You have to sustain a level of excellence for 40 minutes, and we didn't do it for 40. We probably did it for about 15.

They did a better job of executing their offense to start the second half, and that really hurt us. When we aren't getting stops in the half-court, and they are getting baskets in transition, it is hard to stay in the game.

They just tell you work every day as if you're playing, because your opportunity will come. Every player in this league gets an opportunity, you just have to make the most of it.

They jumped on us at the beginning of the second half, and we couldn't handle it.

That's definitely an opportunity lost for them, but they're a good team and they'll keep fighting.

In Indiana, I was always getting back to protect the fast break. Here, I've been playing a little bit of (power forward,) mixing it up with Shawn (Marion) , and it's given me the opportunity to crash the glass without worrying about getting back.

I'm pretty sure I'll get a chance to showcase some of those talents that my family members don't know about.

I like the way they play. They get up and down the floor, which is something I like. But more importantly, I feel like I can play anywhere. I consider myself a basketball player that can do a number of different things.

I'm a setup guy and tonight I made a couple of shots and got us going. We work well together and have a great second unit. We have so many great playmakers on this team that constantly get the shooters open looks.

If people still have those systems, they've got to be rethinking it.

If you look at the affordable homes here, we've come a long way from a farming community to a better quality of life. That was with his help.

In my old age I have come to believe that the whole of written history is miscreated and flawed by these discrepancies in the two ideals systems: the one of how we would all like to believe humanity might be, but only the privileged can afford to bel

I ran around the back and was calling for my daddy-in-law. Then I tried to see if I could get him out through the front, but I couldn't do nothing because there was too much smoke. I was scared. He was still trapped in there.

He believes in the community. He was president of the student council, and he is a man of integrity, a benevolent person and I believe he deserves this because of his integrity and his concern for the little person, not the big names.

He knew how to handle pain. You had to lie down with pain, not draw back away from it. You let yourself sort of move around the outside edge of pain like with cold water until you finally got up your nerve to take yourself in hand. Then you took a deep breath and dove in and let yourself sink down it clear to the bottom. And after you had been down inside pain a while you found that like with cold water it was not nearly as cold as you had thought it was when your muscles were cringing themselves away from the outside edge of it as you moved around it trying to get up your nerve. He knew pain.

Up until then it had only been himself. Up to then it had been a private wrestle between him and himself. Nobody else much entered into it. After the people came into it he was, of course, a different man. Everything had changed then and he was no longer the virgin, with the virgin's right to insist upon platonic love. Life, in time, takes every maidenhead, even if it has to dry it up; it does not matter how the owner wants to keep it. Up to then he had been the young idealist. But he could not stay there. Not after the other people entered into it.

War don't ennoble men, it turns 'em into dogs. It poisons the soul.

If I never meet you In this life Let me feel the lack A glance from your eyes Then my life Will be yours

The main trouble with being an honest man was that it lost you all your illusions.

The little bit you and me might change the world," Malloy smiled, "it wouldnt show up until a hundred years after we were dead. We'd never see it." "But it'd be there.

The quality which makes man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and masochism. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street.

That was one of the virtues of being a pessimist: nothing was ever as bad as you thought it would be.

And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base...

The Confederate flag stands for slavery and, more recently, segregation. Anyone who tries to separate them is not paying attention.
