Agency Quotes
We don't make a habit of going to guys and telling them to get out of (school), but when a guy comes to you and says he's ready to turn pro, you have to listen. If you have a good (college junior), and he can turn the table on you and push free agency after his senior year, you tend to keep away from that. Free agency tends to cost more money.

Among Quotes
Very few veterans can return to the battlefield and summon the moral courage to confront what they did as armed combatants. Wallowing in their pain and at times in self-pity, they are often incapable of facing the human suffering and death they inflicted, especially on the defenseless and the weak. They have a habit of disregarding, as they did during the war, the people who live in the lands they brutalized. Walking among the very human beings who bear the scars of war, they see only their own ghosts.

Badly Quotes
We like to think that we are stronger than our compulsions. But when time after time we can't break a habit we so badly want to eliminate, we begin to realize that maybe our will power and self control aren't as strong as we thought they were. Maybe we are just as weak as everybody else.

Age Quotes
Be Silent yourself, that will induce Silence in others. Do not fall into the habit of shouting, talking long and loud. Reduce contacts to the minimum. Carry with you an atmosphere of quiet contemplation, wherever you happen to be. The less you talk, the more will become your mental power. With the increase in your mental capacity, there will be increase in your power of discrimination too. Consequently, you will give up individual discrimination . Because of this, you will begin to consider the good of the world at large rather than your own individual welfare. You must cultivate such broad feelings from this young age itself.

Defensive Quotes
As the season winds down, we have to establish that as our identity, because, going into the playoffs, that's the way games are going to be played. It's a defensive struggle every game, and every possession means a lot. We have to get back into the habit of stopping guys every night.

Began Quotes
These were women who did not make a habit of taking their clothes off in public before they began performing at the Windmill. I suppose we could view all of this as politically incorrect, but the truth is that what happened at the Windmill brought many people together as a means of escaping the tragedy that was surrounding them.

Best Quotes
People didn't buy these records because they wanted a history lesson. One of the best experiences I ever had was buying Del Shannon's greatest hits. I had only heard the song 'Runaway' because of the 'American Graffiti' soundtrack. I thought he was just a one-hit guy. Then I found 20 other songs that excited me and blew me away. That habit of discovery is what Rhino is about.

Breaking Quotes
Any time a player goes from one system to another, one thing that could be a problem is breaking old habits. It's not that you don't understand what the new responsibilities or plays are, but just the fact that you've been doing something a long time - it's a habit - and that's not what's required in the other system. And that means kind of undoing something before you can even start to do something new.

Both Quotes
A line runs from the meditations of the heart to the words of the mouth. Themeditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouthutters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are thesame. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become themeditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of ourunderstanding.

Green Quotes
You still want to play your position. But if you see an opening, you do have the green light to jump in and (try to score). You don't want to make a habit out of it every shift, though. You still want to play your position because you know your (defensive) partner is probably going to be thinking the same thing as you (and try to score).

Great Quotes
It's a special team, I've said that before. And we're starting to show signs of being special. But we've got to do it. It's a great group of guys - unselfish, hard-working and diligent. I think 13-3 is an indication of that. But the world has a habit of looking only at accomplishments, and while we've accomplished something now, in a sense, it's not where we want to be.
-
Break Quotes
It's like when you smoke cigarettes, you've got to take that nicotine patch and break that habit. We've got a habit of losing right now. We need to get, like, a nicotine winning patch. We've got to break that habit of losing, because it can become a habit. . . . We're working hard to break that habit.

Bad Quotes
It's so hard to have them see me this way, ... I have been honest with my daughter. She knows I have a drug problem. I told her I have a very bad habit that is very hard for me to quit. I try to explain it in a language a 5-year-old understands. My mom says my son wakes up at night, crying for me. Both of the kids are insecure. When I use meth, I will take off for days. Then when I come home to crash, they won't leave my side.

Bigger Quotes
I've learned how to control my body. The bigger you are the harder it is to control your body. I'm 6-4, so I don't need to play any higher than I already am. You just have to break tendencies because everybody has some kind of habit that they don't want. I just have to work hard on breaking that.
