Final Quotations | Page 4

Most of the test events were held last winter with great success and in November and December we will have the final test events. We are getting close.

Mitch and Nate did a nice job of displacing a number of other team's top five runners which often times goes unnoticed, but is crucial in the final outcome.

Mike was outstanding. We asked him to do a lot, and he came through. He has been playing good hockey for us. Eric also made some big saves. We needed those two guys in the final period.

Modern Architecture died in St. Louis, Missouri, on July 15, 1972, at 3.32 p.m. (or thereabouts), when the infamous Pruitt Igoe scheme, or rather several of its slab blocks, were given the final coup de grace by dynamite.

Mr. Schiavo's overriding concern was Mrs. Schiavo has a right and had a right to die with dignity and die in peace. She had a right to have her last and final moments on this Earth be experienced by a spirit of love and not of acrimony.

Mother has seen a lot of changes to the city over the past years. This plaza is the final piece of what she helped to start.

My initial reaction right now is I saw where it's going to be announced during the Final Four. So if I'm sitting here in Connecticut and there's four teams playing in Boston at the Final Four and I get a phone call, my first reaction is I'm going to be (mad) that I'm not at the Final Four. I can tell you that much. So if I happen to be in Boston with my team and I get that phone call, it'll be kind of a special weekend.

My first job was playing 'Nurse 2' in a film by Ben Elton called 'Maybe Baby,' and the first actors I worked with professionally were Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson. I was totally star-struck. I got that job on my final day of drama school, so it was a nice bridge into the professional world.

Nelsinho has made a great start to the season and did a fantastic job at Brands Hatch. I must say well done to France and the USA for the good job they did today in qualifying. Nelsinho was a bit unlucky as he got stuck in some traffic in the first sector and should have been higher up as he was very quick in the middle and final sectors. The fact is, though, that this is racing and that's how it goes sometimes. We are still in a very good position for tomorrow and are not too disappointed with third.

No doubt about it, this is what I came here for. I knew we were going to win a lot of football games this year. I thought I would cry (after the final gun), but I don't know how to act. It really hasn't hit me yet. It's been a long time since I felt like this.

One strange quality of writing about political campaigns is that it's a little like writing about a baseball game inning by inning. We presume we can say something about the final result from the state of play a third of the way through. You can when a game is a colossal blowout, but you can't when it's close.

one final ugly dip in the market to wring out remaining excesses.

One of the artists lives in Utah, though the Mint will not disclose the name of this artist until the final design has been approved.

One of the appropriation bills, the Transportation Treasury HUD Appropriation Bill, had money put into the bill at the committee level, ... When it comes out of committee once we return to session after Labor Day, we'll be passing it off the floor of the Senate. I'm confident that money will be there, plus maybe a little more if possible in the final conference committee version.

Obviously, we need to do a better job of preparing ourselves for high quality opponents like this. When we are battling adversity, as well as our opponent, we need to keep our composure and play our game. We didn't do that today and the final stats told the whole story. Hopefully, we can put this game behind us and come in focused tomorrow against Sacramento State.

Obviously what we've heard and read, we're very excited about. But we have not seen the final numbers and we won't until the General Assembly approves the budget.

Obviously, we want to go to the Final Four. And something like this, a Big East tournament championship, would have been a nice thing under our belt to have confidence-wise.

Obviously we've been on the road. We read the papers. But when you come back from winning a regional and a trip to the Final Four, and the headline is not actually about your team, it's about another team, it makes it a little tough.

Of course I would like to see us finish a little higher on the scoreboard, but I was proud of the way we competed this weekend. This is a relentless golf course that doesn't allow you to make any mistakes. It becomes even harder when you are playing with four golfers for the final two rounds and have no room for mistakes.

Of course I'm excited. I did not expect it. I was really happy with making the final 10. The final three, I just didn't feel like I would be in the final three.

None of these courses should have been presented without teachers being totally aware of what the final exam was going to be like.

No one has said 'You had your chance.' It's a free vote out. They both are not even on the radar of being removed right now. They are not even being targeted, ... I hope Stephenie makes it to the final four, but she has to work on her skills.

No one has come to any conclusions, and certainly the school board has not considered all the possibilities and the cost. For that reason, these working numbers should not be considered final or even that it will be the cost. It may be much lower.

Nonetheless, we look forward to completing the EC review process and then promptly obtaining final approvals from the U.S. and U.K. governments.

My final three schools were Providence, Georgetown and George Mason.

My final obligation is not to Neil... it's not to any of the historical actors, it's to posterity, ... It's to try to tell the story as genuinely and as profoundly as I can for the benefit of readers who don't know the history and for readers who are going to come across this book hundreds of years from now.

My final count may end up about 220, even a little bit over 220.

My experience of international tournaments is that central defenders always receive the most punishment, and in the final -- which is what we aim to reach -- you are always short of defenders,

(Monday) Roy Williams called, and we talked for 35-40 minutes, maybe longer. He told me, 'I lost the Final Four five times before winning it.' He helped.

My greatest inspiration is my mother, the bravest person I ever knew. She overcame incredible odds, worked while raising two kids, and made it all look incredibly simple. Even in her final days succumbing to cancer, she fought like a champion.

Maybe the final four a few years ago (2002 against Stanford). Just too many weapons. Nebraska was too balanced tonight. A lot of times we were confused because they were running an offense we really hadn't seen. We just finally got down. We needed to have somebody to rally the troops and no one did. Everybody was in a daze.

no one would have the right to cancel any of the issues that the Israelis and the Palestinians would negotiate to find a final permanent solution for all these issues.

Obviously, the two top teams in CONCACAF are the U.S. and Mexico. We have the one blemish on our record when we lost in the first part of the final round in Mexico City, so it's nice to get that back, and it's very special to qualify at home against our archrival.

Obviously the final accounting is yet to come, (but) we do think we're actually going to see profits decline year over year.

Obviously, that's something that has been in the back of our minds. There is no resentment toward Diana at all. She was an unbelievable pioneer in women's basketball.

Obviously it's going to be a dream final for both teams. For both countries.

Obviously (Rose) is going to make the final decision, but we've meet as a staff. He's good at throwing out ideas and asking questions when it comes to our responses. It's been like how we do most things.

My team always plays with heart; that's all I ask from them. I tell them to always play with heart no matter what. Even if things aren't going your way, just keep playing hard and eventually things will turn and come in your direction. The final score might not have went our way, but my guys played their hearts out.

On good teams, seniors need to lead. Maybe lead us all the way to the NCAA Final Four. We've been there before. We know how hard it is. We know how long that road is.

Only in the mystery novel are we delivered final and unquestionable solutions. The joke to me is that fiction gives you a truth that reality can't deliver.

Nicki has won a beautiful and very prestigious stage and he has every reason to be proud of himself. Steadily he has improved his form during this race and it's really something to be able to ride this fast in the third and last week of the Vuelta. Right now Carlos Sastre is almost certain of his spot on the final podium, and winning a stage on top of this is just icing on the cake for the whole team.

Next year, nothing is going to be acceptable unless you make it to the (district) final again and win it. These kids have been here now.

Nobody can say they've gone from a 10-18 team in three years to playing in the Final Four.

Never will one piece be the same as another, even if the wood used is of the same variety, the final product will always be different. The tonality, marks of time and paints that were used on the wood, when it was painted for the first or second time, is what gives personality to the furniture.

Only victory could prove my world number one ranking. The final was tough, but I won.

One of these days I'm going to get over the final four hurdle. One of these days.

I was struggling a bit early on but the eagle on the 13th really got me going again. It's been a long time since I've been in this position but I'm looking forward to the final round. It's nice to know I can still do it.

I was real proud of the way our team came back and played in the final round. We were 17 shots behind after Monday and it would have been easy for the guys to mail it in. But instead, they came back and played with a lot of focus and a lot of pride. I think our final round is a real positive as we head into a pretty important stretch of our season.

I was real pleased with the final outcome. Kyle Williams had a great round and Jay Marney came back with a 76.

I was surprised to get to the final this week, so soon after my injury in Melbourne. But my recovery is going to take time. It's not going to come immediately.

I was seven shots back at the beginning of the day. When you are far back like that, you are just trying to come out and shoot maybe a few under par. You just have to position yourself well, and hope the wind blows and guys don't hit good shots and you have a chance to be close to the leaders on the final day.

I was seeded somewhere in the middle to the lower part of the final flight. I was hoping to get fourth or fifth. I popped out a 19-10 on my last jump and it held up. I can't complain about that.

I was the final word on everything. I wrote and directed. Complete cast approval. Every piece of music. Every edit. Which means I pissed off a lot of people.

I wouldn't final (I wouldn't make it to the final) in any of my events. Semi-final, I doubt and so , you know, I don't know how I'd be after the races either. I could do more damage than good.

I would have rather seen them playing in the state final because that's an experience not everybody gets. I promote kids going as far as they can in as many sports as they can.

I would emphasize in the end that parents and kids think the Internet is a good thing. They realize it has its flaws, but in the final tally they believe it is a positive thing in their kids' lives.

I would guess that the hearing would be about a week after (the final briefs are filed).

I was really pleased with the team's performance against Illinois last weekend. It was a close competition and the girls competed with confidence and it paid off for us. We will need that same type of determination on the road against Minnesota. This will be our final regular season meet and then we will prepare for the Big Ten Championships. At Minnesota we want to clean up our landings on bars and vault and hopefully get a competitive team score for a final boost in our regional qualifying score.

I guess it's fitting -- how many times were we shut out this year? -- to get shut out in our final game.

If we get to the Final Four (April 2-4 in Boston), we will have concluded our four-year stretch very well.

If we're 9-for-10 from the line instead of 4-for-10, the game doesn't come down to a final jump shot. We spend hours shooting free throws in practice but we can't make them in games.

If we keep playing the way we are and keep winning, there is no reason to think we will not be up over .500 by the end of the season. We are really looking forward to this final month.

If we have to wait for a couple of days for the final results to ensure the election is done right, then we should do that. If we don't have confidence in our political system, there is no legitimacy.

If they stay together, they'll have a chance to go to the Final Four, to win it all.

If this ($14.95 million) resolution passes, Property and Purchasing would know what we have to take to the architect. There is no money spent with this resolution. A final design would come back to the county board before any money is spent.

If this is the final, we'll have a final final and a final final final.

If we could sustain the effort we got in the second half for an entire game, we'd be all right. In the final 16 we played our butts off, but tonight Hyde hit their open looks and free throws, and we didn't box out well enough the entire game to limit their second chances.

I have had the pleasure of participating on an alternative database focus group sponsored by Oracle, and based on my participation am confident that they are analyzing all databases, and they will make some determinations as to how other databases may be able to be integrated into the final solution.

I didn't really want to watch while they were celebrating. When you lose the final game, it doesn't mater what tournament; it's not fun to watch the other team celebrate. You're happy for them, they deserve that but, you know, the only thing I could think about was it could be you, too.
