Finally Quotations | Page 6

But a lot depends on how the case finally sorts itself out.

Basketball was always my sport. It just took me until my second year of college for me to realize that I was a better baseball player than a basketball player. But basketball was always my number one love. Finally found out I was better at baseball and chose to pursue that route.

Basketball started for me in this city and I want to be here when it's finally time for me to stop, ... I'm not here to retire. I'm here to help build something that will be around for a long time.

China has existed within very roughly its present borders for over two millennia and for virtually the whole of that period saw itself as a 'civilisation state.' It was only when it was too weak to resist the western powers in the early 20th century that it finally acquiesced in an arrangement that was alien to it.

I'm a little happy and amazed to be sitting here winning, ... There are a lot of things I'd like to improve on before the US Open but it's so satisfying to win the title. I was always struggling in the final. After all these years, I'm happy to finally pull it out.

I looked Terry straight in the eye and he finally confessed,

I looked over at Weir and said, 'Can I say something to him?' But that's Jack Nicklaus. I can't needle that guy, ... It got so bad that Tom Watson finally stuck up for me, because he knew I wasn't going to say anything.

I have all the confidence in the world in those guys. We're all excited, knowing that this is our last year together. We're finally ready to reach our potential.

I have always been making art from an early age but for nearly forty years did computer programming to earn a living. I bought a house and put my wife and three children through college. Now that diversion is over so I can finally paint full time.

I had made mistakes in the short program earlier this season, but I finally didn't make any. I'm satisfied more with my performance than my position. It was my best short program this season and hopefully my performance in the free skate will help take me to the Olympics.

I had it for a few seasons with varying levels of discomfort. It finally got to a point where I had to take care of it.

I have been nervous for the past six months. This was an intense campaign with a lot at stake. I can finally sleep.

I have an old picture of Sonny Til and the second tenor from the Orioles outside the Earle Theatre. It was such an atmospheric picture, I dragged my girlfriend around town on a bit of a pilgrimage until I finally found it. That was one of my coolest moments so far.

I have like 250 letters that I have to whittle it down to 150. Only then do you have the whole overview of a book. When it was finally edited, at least my take was, everybody's lying. You know?

I had totally anticipated being ready to play last January because my doctor had said three months, blah-blah-blah. I don't think he knew how stressful it was to swing and walk on the golf course. My foot never healed. Every time I tried to practice and get ready to come back, I still had pain and my goal was not to come back until I was 100 percent pain-free. By the time this year started, I still wasn't 100 percent. In Hawaii, I could still feel it. I still feel it now but I can swing without pain. I think walking the last month has been the final healing process. Right now, it finally feels good.

I had one particular handbag disaster when I couldn't get into it, and when I finally did, it flew over the red carpet and was caught by 200 lenses. Not a great moment.

I felt comfortable the whole way. I felt like we finally pushed the ball the last five minutes of the game and got some easy baskets and guarded them a little bit better.

I felt a lot better. I was more relaxed. I was finally able to get in on him for that five-point move.

I feel like I can do anything, and there's nobody to answer to but myself. I've finally come to the realization that it's OK to not be perfect.

I feel like every year we've gotten better. Two years ago we didn't any, but we played a lot of close games. Last year, we got a few wins and lost a bunch of close games. Now, we're finally getting the wins.

I finally need to take a deep breath and kind of relax.

I finally moved it back as far as I could and we ran out of room in the back yard. It was a good day. It took a couple of years, but it was cool.

I finally met someone who could teach me about love.

I finally made some birdies at the par fives so that was mission accomplished and tomorrow is going to be a big day.

I finally located some balls, which helps you get outs. I felt strong toward the end.

I finally led the first lap from the pole - I was happy about that.

I finally just got comfortable, that's all it was. Seeing one or two go in gave me confidence.

I finally hit that green. I've been trying for three years. I finally hit it high enough and it was nice to see it finish so close.

I finally had a good cutter, which really helped. I still have one more start, a minor league start. I'm still building. The main thing is getting mentally and physically ready for the season, and I'm close.

I finally got to the point where I was like, 'Screw it. I'm going, and nothing can stop me,'

I finally got to the point where I had to decide to just quit trying and give in or deal with the pain of sight. I eventually just gave up.

I finally got to the point where I decided I don't care if it's good art or bad art - it's what I do. I enjoy doing it, and people like it.

I finally got to the point during the season when at lunch I couldn't swallow. I had heartburn for quite a while, but it just kept getting worse and worse. When I couldn't swallow and food was actually coming back up, I knew the problem was more than simple heartburn.

I finally got the chance to empty my bench. It was a tremendous joy to do that, and it was like a burden had been lifted off our back.

I finally got that win, and it feels great. . . . Hopefully this will be the first of a few more this season.

I finally got some confidence after making the first shot.

I finally got some bounces to go my way.

I finally got out of the office and brought my board up. It's a lot of fun. It looks like a perfect day.

I finally got my just due, ... But I'm still not happy and done yet. I haven't yet accomplished my professional goals. I want to be a legend. I won't stop until I'm done.

I finally got my chance. I can't believe I had two goals in one game. (I thought) If I get a hat trick I'm going to pass out. I felt great out there today.

I finally got back into my game groove. I felt like I was making my pitches a little better and hitting my spots. Then it all ended.

I finally got a job teaching English in a college, which I was delighted to have because it proved to be a real steadying influence.

I finally got a call back and they said there should have been a penalty. The player has to make an attempt to avoid contact, and the player clearly didn't.

I finally got a bunt down - I can't remember the last time I did that.

I finally feel like I am alive again. I feel so good. To be able to step outside anytime, to feel the sun directly on your face - to see the whole sky. These are luxuries that we just don't appreciate every day.

I finally feel like I am alive again. I feel so good.

I finally feel free. I ain't going nowhere.

I finally feel, after six or eight, I don't know how many movies I've directed, I know what I'm doing. I really know how to direct a movie now, and I really feel confident. It's such an empowering feeling, ... Someone once said to me that every director wants their first movie to be their fifth because you learn so much along the way and I finally feel I've put it together.

I finally did it. Further on in the season, I'll try to break the record.

I finally did everything on the golf course. Made birdie, made par, made bogey. After that, I was pretty calm and ready to go.

I finally came to a place where I decided that this is my body and this is as far as this is going to go. And it happened to work out that way. Whether it's because I believe that or it would have happened that way, who knows? But believing that in itself was a positive thing for me.

I finally called it quits and it's good that I felt very comfortable with my last jumps. I was moved by the chants of my name. It was indeed all the fan support that kept me moving on with my career until today.

I finally went home to my country three years ago. There is so much poverty there and so many kids need help. We are poor, but not really. We're just very lucky to have work here and be able to send help over to them.

I finally was able to get my mom on her cell phone last night, ... She told me everybody was OK and the house was OK. It's tough to get people on their home phones around the whole state.

I finally told my husband we have to build on another room because it's too cold out there for the kids. We went from a one-room shack to two rooms and finally what we have today.

I finally think they get it. When you've experienced something by doing that certain thing consistently well - defense - they get it.

I finally talked my dad into buying a bass boat.

I finally split the teams on Friday (September 2), which is the latest for me.

I finally scored. For the round I played as far as ball-striking, it was one of the worst of the year.

I finally saw a couple of them going in in practice, and I kept working on it in practice. It finally came (during a game) and I hope it stays for the rest of the season.

I feel so excited and blessed to be given this opportunity. I now realize that all the hard work that I put in and the help I received along the way has finally paid off. It has been a blast playing with my friend these last couple of years and learning with them. My parents have been a big influence of where I am at this point.

I feel like I'm finally over the hump,

I feel like I'm finally going to get the opportunity to show what I can do.

I feel like we're over the hump now. Some of these top 10 teams like Silver Creek, Berthoud, Longmont -- we've played them all and have been in a position to win in the fourth quarter in every one of those games, and we finally got the job done. We had an incredible third quarter.

I feel that I've improved in every facet of my game and am finally able to play my own style of tennis,

I feel like I'm right where I need to be. I finally got that long-term deal, and I've gotten it at a good point in my career. I feel like I can perform well through this whole contract.

I did grow up with Kurt Russell as a Dad, who was a professional baseball player, with all boys. All I wanted to do was be the best athlete. I was the kind of person that in high school, if I didn't beat the record, I was very disappointed in myself. I finally got to do that in my work.

I did a total of 66 paintings and here I was finally finding the way I wanted to paint.

I found that if I don't paint for around a week, I get practically suicidal. It took a long time to figure out why I had these mood swings, and I finally figured out it's because I haven't painted.

Growing up in Singapore, I wasn't allowed to visit China. So when I was finally able to go there after the country began opening up to tourism in the 1990s, I found it to be utterly astounding.

Given the drop in bond yields, stocks which were comparatively cheap before, have become even more attractive to buy. This drop in bond yields may finally be the catalyst we need to propel stocks out of the trading range they have been mired in.

Getting through it when the good times in the day finally begin to outweigh the bad takes three to four months before things really do turn around.

Gillette has been off everyone's radar screen for a couple years. New management last year -- we saw (it) in the first-quarter numbers, finally seeing some benefit of that, ... Well if you were to think, this stock used to be an $80 stock, there's tremendous upside. Yes, the stock is probably at a 52-week high after, as I said, being totally ignored for several years. So I think what you're really seeing is the start of an uptrend.

Frances was a hard one. Oh, man, ... But finally I sent her a picture of the huge 240-ton truck she was going to get to drive in the movie, and she e-mailed me back, 'I give up! Men may come and go, but that is a really nice truck.'

France is ready to help Bosnia on the road to reconciliation, ... man of peace who symbolizes a tolerant Bosnia finally reconciled with itself.

Four years of work and we're finally finding out that we've got some truly unique and superior enzymes.

Four years of hard work and dedication is finally paying off.

For some reason, we're clicking right now. I just hope it keeps going. We just finally figured out how we play, figured out each other's styles.

From agriculture to industry, from industry to information processing, and finally from information processing to the mind or consciousness awareness.

From the day that I didn't make it, he told me he wasn't going to run, but I didn't believe him until I got out here and finally got in that first race, ... Now I'm starting to believe.

I don't understand executives that pit women against each other, the fact that they brought in 'Body of Proof,' Dana Delaney is a friend of mine, and the two of us were just rolling our eyes, it's like, of course, you finally have two great female leads and you're going to put us on against each other.

I expect AMD will sustain its server gains for the next year. Customers have desired a second source to Intel for years and AMD finally has a lead and a credible product road map.

I expect a challenging game from Marist. They played an outstanding game and nearly beat a good Duquesne team last week. They were ahead most of the time and played a very physical game. However, I see the desire in our team that we need to win. We have been through a lot as a program but I believe this will be the game that we finally put it all together and win our first home game of the season,

I enjoy when we have actual competitions because we finally get to display everything we are capable of. At Glenwood Springs, we have a history of winning. Winning always feels good.

I don't think it's hit me yet. I think when I lay down and go to sleep, I'm finally going to realize how big a deal this game was.

From the signals we're getting from the government, this is finally a problem they're getting around to addressing. For a president who is an oil man telling us to conserve, I think that's significant.

For us, because we got ranked the week before, it was a test to see how we could work together. It is great to be this fast and see all the hard work and training we've put in finally pay off.

For whatever reason, it took us awhile to get loose. But the good thing is we finally did, and we were able to take care of business.

Fortunately, in the place where I went out, they had set up a little previously a fence which prevented me finally from smashing against trees. I went out with a broken leg only. A small price to be paid at the time for an accident of this kind.

For most of the '60s, television was trying to hold the dyke. All of these changes and pressures built up throughout the 1960s and finally burst in January of 1971.

I got a text message from (ISU assistant) coach (Todd) Fitch that said 'Congratulations, today is the day you've been waiting for' and it really has been. I'm finally a part of the Cyclone family. I guess I was before, but now I really am part of the team. It's a great day.

I got a couple good pitches to hit, and finally didn't miss them.

If today was the day you were finally going to win, did you show up?

If the SPD would only finally accept Merkel as chancellor we could have a coalition agreement by late October. We've got to respect the will of the voters.

If that means we have to play in finals for the next 10 years and we finally win one somewhere along the line, well, that's a s***load better than we've been in the past 100 years.

If the County Board doesn't want to approve the money to continue, then it's over. Maybe Mr. Holloway has finally won.

He was a very sincere, loving person and had a great future ahead of him. He was finally settling down a little, with getting married and having a baby.

He was doing what he had to to stay on the lead lap. He was drifting up a little and I finally got under him. I don't blame him for doing everything he could to keep his spot. That's what racing is all about.

He was doing great in the minicamps. He was looking real good. I think he had finally gotten a grasp on the system. He was showing signs of why he was a first-round draft pick.

He traveled all over there, and when he finally retired, he retired in Victoria and built the first home in Victoria Tod House in Oak Bay.
