Earned Quotations | Page 7

It's captured the imagination. You have to earn respect and the England players earned the Aussie respect over the summer,

I wanted those Boy Scout records because they tell me what merit badges my boys have earned and what badges they are working on. I have a few boys who have almost reached the highest level, Eagle Scouts. They need their records to advance and I would hate to lose them.

I've earned it. The character's earned it. The show's earned it." ()

OK, my friends: now the general election campaign begins and we are in it to win it, ... We have earned our place in the runoff. Nobody else had seven people running against them.

Ohio State has the nod on everybody else. They're tournament-savvy, having been there before. They have earned the No. 1 seed with their play. But our conference has been known to have people come in and dethrone the champion. Yes, it's wide open, but I would have to give my nod to Ohio State.

No. I think I owe it to myself, my family and my teammates to play. Like everybody can say, I definitely earned my scholarship.

It was probably more gratifying going through it this way. Nothing was ever given to us. We earned it.

It's very irresponsible of legislators to invite costly litigation on something that they spent hard earned taxpayer dollars on just a few days ago.

It's very exciting for us, as a coaching staff, to have so many guys get invited to the combine. That's never happened before and is a compliment to the work we've done here. That would have been unbelievable five years ago, but we've made a lot of progress and these guys have earned it.

It's to protect our currency and to protect people's hard earned money.

I want Janie's credit card to be taken away. Janie has spent money into oblivion. They will tell you that the income over the past few years earned them $47 million, but what they won't tell you is that they spent $48 million, which is a huge net operating loss.

The Tunisian team we played against today was not the real Tunisian team, but my players played an excellent game. We've earned our spot in the quarterfinals.

They did a great job on her. She earned everything she got.

They beat us in overtime and she was the reason why. She scored back-to-the-basket, pivoting, face-up, hitting 15-footers and we played behind her and fronted her and doubled her and it didn't matter. She earned my respect that day. It was the first time I saw her and I couldn't believe how good she was.

They basically just got rid of the flat definition which said a foster child is any child you care for as your own and cared for the entire year. In a way, a lot more people could qualify for the Earned Income Credit than did before.

They basically earned one goal and the other ones were just one-on-one with the keeper. At this level you have to score on those and they did, so I congratulate them on a job well done. But we didn't do a real good job.

They are very disappointed that the hospital did not continue to pay the wages that they earned the last few weeks.

They were real excited. They knew they earned it.

They walked four guys and hit another in the seventh inning. When you're on our side in a situation like that, before you know it you have five earned runs on only one hit.

They made a lot of catches tonight; they earned their money out there.

They'll definitely get up for that game. We sometimes tend to look at the immediate instead of what it took to get to this point - but they've earned the right to be here.

They won the job, earned the position through their play in training camp.

Nothing would preclude it. It will be the teams that have performed throughout their season and have earned it.

Not only 'moderns' but even those who earned distinction as the foremost Pundits , those who expound to the people gathering fame, use the Vedas for promoting their material well-being and not for helping them on the spiritual path. They are unable to discover the sacred task for which the Vedas exist. Whenever the chance arises, they benefit by the scholarship, but they are not eager or able to use the Vedas to purify their daily lives.

After we drafted Chris Paul, it became obvious that Dan would look to sign elsewhere in order to have a chance to compete for a starting point guard job, ... Making this trade gives Dan that chance, which he earned by what he did for us last season, and it also prevents us from losing him without compensation. We wish him the best of luck in Boston.

Against Salem we got behind, but we didn't give up and got better as the game went on. And today we continued to get better. There were some guys who earned their varsity spurs today.

Again, I think we've earned more than that. It hasn't been just one year, or two years. It's been 12. Consecutive, record-breaking years. That buys a little credibility.

Art was a way of life in my family. My grandfather, N.C. Wyeth, who died a year before I was born, had been a prominent painter. So was my father, Andrew. My two aunts and two of my uncles also earned a living as painters.

Smith is a Kodak, All-American candidate. More than scoring, she makes the people around her look better. She has earned her mark in history.

The kids played tremendously hard. This was a tough one, but we are proud of the kids' effort Coal City played well down the stretch. They earned it.

Their stance is very convenient, ... They are saying they should gain market share when they haven't earned it. AMD isn't a victim of anything but its own bad decisions.

Their collective attitude, work ethic and persistence are paying off. These guys have earned all four of their victories by playing as a team and trusting each other. It's a whole lot of fun to watch Columbia City soccer this year!

Their goaltender bailed them out big-time. It's just one of those things where it escapes four sets of eyes. It's a shame because we certainly earned it.

I'm not making excuses or apologies for how this team played. Penn State is the only team as young as us in the (Big Ten Conference). We played in the NCAA tournament. We just got bumped and our guys earned our way here....I certainly liked the way they played.

I'm going to play everybody, but Mark has certainly earned that opportunity.

I'm not John Wooden, but he wouldn't play a guy based on potential or stats. Five seniors have stayed and they are playing for money. Five years ago I would be praised for rewarding guys for what they earned and not for what their stats say.

I'm excited for both those guys. They've earned it. They're looking tough and they're going to state, now they want to see how high they can go.

I met Billy Goldenberg, my musical director and composer, who's earned 32 Emmy nominations by the way, in 1981.

I'm really proud of the team and really proud of the way the defense played in the second half. We wanted an opportunity to finish high and jump into the top 10 in the final rankings. I feel like we've earned it.

I'm really proud of my guys. They earned it, they played with heart and conviction. They listened. That's important when guys are coming off the field at halftime and listening to the game plan. We shut them out in the second half. That's extremely hard to do.

I'm sure everyone thought I was a spoiled brat, ... I always had whatever trainers I wanted, and I can honestly say I earned every single penny. My old man never gave me handouts. Ever. In fact, he was repulsed by the idea.

In any nation, casting your vote is an act of civic responsibility, ... For millions of Iraqis, it was also an act of personal courage, and they have earned the respect of us all.

I'm not a big guy on individual stuff like tying the record. Well, I guess people can say one thing: I earned my scholarship.

I know people have asked me, 'Why haven't you done that? Why haven't you done that?' I've never really felt like it was my place to do that. I feel like over the years that I've been here that I've earned more respect, but I don't know if I'll ever have the type of respect that Dale had.

I'm really happy for him. He's won some quality matches and he earned it. He's going to be going up against some pretty talented players, but that's what you want out of your top player.

I'm really happy and proud that we earned an eight seed. The team is really excited. With all the injuries and where we've been, it's a real testament to the kids. I think it shows a lot of respect for our program.

I'm just shocked. But I support coach Godwin 100 percent. That is the way all of us feel. He (Godwin) is here for a reason, he knows how to win. He has earned our respect and trust.

I'm from Detroit, but I haven't had the great career that he has. He deserves all of the applause and honors that he's been getting. He's always been a hero of mine. He's earned this. What did he call it other day? A dream? I know it is, and that's why everybody's happy for him.

I'm pretty happy to still be playing. And we earned the right to be there because of the 18 games in the league season.

I'm just really pleased with our kids. I think we've earned a shot at another state title, and they're on a mission right now.

I'm searching a little bit for answers. I think Luke has earned the spot. I was very impressed with the way he played in the midst of a gut-wrenching game. I thought he played really hard, I thought he played steady, solid. He didn't just get that position by default. He got it because he's played well.

I'm so proud of my kids. They worked so hard. They've earned the opportunity to go to state.

I'm very proud of what we've done the last five years. Someone else has earned the World Series those years, so we have to dust ourselves off, get up in the saddle again and keep at it.

I'm happy for the girls. They've earned it, and they deserve it. It's significant. People are starting to see we've got a pretty good group here. Look at our record (9-0) against 2A schools. People finally started to look at that.

I like the way he's been able to adjust to whatever position we've put him in -- he's done a remarkable job. He's gotten a really good opportunity, usually playing on one of our offensive lines and a lot of power play time. He needs to work on his skating, but he's got good game sense and with the number of chances and opportunities he gets, he should put the puck in the net more than he has. But his work ethic and overall play this year is solid. He took the opportunity and ran with it and did a good job. He's earned it.

If there are any kids that have earned a win like this, it's these six seniors that deserve it. They've been beat around by teams, but now they set a record for wins and have the first state win.

If you have Cadillac Williams on your team, you're probably not very smart if you don't give him the ball and give him opportunities. He's earned that. If he continues to do as he's doing, he'll see the ball a lot more next year than he did this year.

If you put the work that I have done and the support that I've been given ... to the legacy of theft, corruption and neglect that Tom DeLay seems to have earned for himself, I think he saw the handwriting on the wall, that it was something he couldn't win, and made the decision to get out.

If you look at the season stats, we're about even (with opponents) in hits, but in earned runs we've actually allowed fewer. But we are way up in errors.

In the last century, I earned my living as a librarian, and I loved it. I'd have to take some classes to get up to speed with 21st-century librarianship.

Instead of questioning the period, they're going to question the player for the whole time, and I don't think that's fair. Because he was a heck of a player as a skinny kid. He hit a lot of home runs against me. I would walk him intentionally even then, so that kind of respect was earned at that point in time.

In October alone, we've already earned $2.30 a share, ... we're in good shape to have the best quarter in Valero's history.

In qualifying, we all went out together and stayed together, in a huge, four-car draft. It turned out that Brandon Davis got the best run and earned the first pole position by a rookie driver in many seasons,

I really didn't see it as overshadowing me, ... He's been in the league so long. He's earned his stripes. I was a young cat coming up, doing the things I had to do to earn my stripes. I made my plays. As the years moved on, I earned my stripes. The fans knew who I was when I stepped on the field. When you play next to Ray, you have to do a lot of things to get noticed.

I really believe without Humphrey there, Matt could have been a three-time champ. Unfortunately for Matt, Humphrey was one of the best kids in the nation. But his dedication and commitment earned him a title this season.

I guess people can say one thing, I earned my scholarship. It's definitely one of those things you don't really think about towards the end, now I've got one more (game).

It helped us understand that all of the hype around the game is totally unimportant unless you enjoy it. Don't fight it and don't get nervous about it: enjoy it. I had a great time the week of the Ohio State game. I had never been to that stadium and I was like a kid walking in there like a fan. It was fun for our group to have all the odds against us because that doesn't happen very much for us. And that's where we are again. We've earned the right to be here but the odds are against us. And that's a good position for us to be in.

I think (Alexander) has really earned a lot of respect from his teammates this year, how he has handled things in a very unselfish manner. He came to camp on time (without a long-term contract) when a lot of people didn't expect him to, and I think that said a lot about the kind of commitment he was going to have to our team this year.

Being on our own and hitting the road as hard as we did was a music education in itself. We didn't have a lot of bills, so we were able to just focus on the music, build a fan base and make friends within the music industry.?;That, and our?;reputation as being incredibly easy to work with, is what eventually earned us a major-label recording contract.

I am a native of Taiwan, and I earned my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University. I received my master's and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

His attention to detail and tireless work ethic has earned him the respect of his players and fellow staff members. He will tell you shortly (how) he wants his players. He wants them smart, hard-working, tough, and with great character. Those were among the qualities that we looked for in (the) selection our head coach.

Cam Ellsworth absolutely earned the shutout. He played really well, and I couldn't be happier for him. He has to gain confidence from this and the players should be confident in him. I know they like him because he's a very hard worker.

His ability to face adversity earned him respect. His dedication to hockey ... earned him the enduring appreciation and thanks of everyone associated with the game.

He's just been a hitting machine since he's gotten here. You could tell after the fall that he'd stepped in and was going to be in the lineup. He earned that scholarship.

He's out there competing for a job. He had really put together some solid bullpen performances, and tonight he earned his start.

He's our starter because he's earned it. But like a lot of positions, there's competition there, and that's a good situation.

He's our first three-time place-winner. He earned everything he's gotten. He will be proud some day when he looks back on the career he did have. He's disappointed right now.

He's pretty good and he's one of those kids that's earned everything that he's gotten. He's the first guy in the gym and the last guy to leave and we like having him out there with the ball in his hands.

He's really earned his confidence with me. He's trustworthy.

I don't think Josh lost it as much as Alex just earned it. Alex did a nice job.

I don't really believe in a guy having to get his feet wet in the bullpen. If he's mature and he can handle situations, he's mastered the level he's at, by all means, he's earned the right to come up here and join the rotation.

I don't know if 26 points is holding him. But he earned a lot of those on his talent. He didn't get very many open, clean looks. That was our plan.

I don't know how to do anything different in terms of what to do on offense. We have a certain routine and we'll do it. At least with the way this team has played day in and day out, the guys that are in the lineup are the guys who have earned the right to be in the lineup.
