Hopefully Quotations | Page 7

If they decide that this team can't get to the playoffs, then hopefully they'll do something.

If we can just keep our minds on the game we're playing, ... that's the most important thing for us to do now, and hopefully we can continue to do that.

If we can get the required number of signatures, hopefully that will make Ms. McCutcheon reconsider her actions.

If we can find something as small as a finger or a tip of a finger, even, that could allow the police departments to hopefully get a DNA match on somebody. And that's going to allow closure for families.

If this team plays to its full potential then we can be devastating and, if we do that, hopefully we'll get a good result and beat Arsenal.

If we come and play for 48 minutes the entire game, we can compete with anybody. We've got to come and play hard every night and hopefully we can get out of this slump.

I have confidence in the NFL, and every security precaution that they take. We're going to go out, and hopefully entertain America.

I didn't really put myself in very good shape on 16, so hopefully I can escape with a par there and make something happen the last couple of holes.

I didn't really expect to win at all... I wasn't feeling well towards the end of the first set but I managed it. Hopefully they will put me on Center Court next -- that would be a dream come true.

I don't have any more tears. I don't cry anymore. I just thank God that I have a life and the material things hopefully we'll get them back again,

I don't hurt. I don't wake up in the middle of the night hurting. ... Any time you're coming off an injury, you have to stay positive. And I knew one day it would all turn around for me, and hopefully this will be the beginning of a long time being healthy." ()

I don't have the experience. I don't have the strength yet. I have to think of other things. It kind of worked out (Friday) and hopefully it will keep working out (Saturday).

I didn't want to stir anything up. When we went in, we went in. I was just more aware what we were doing. Once I went through the lineup, hopefully they knew I wasn't going inside and trying to hit anybody. Hopefully it would cool off.

I didn't want to go in there and blow up, and I would have. I could tell when I walked around the locker room after the game that they were embarrassed. I know I was embarrassed. Hopefully it never happens again.

I did not want to get into Martin. ... I understand why he was upset ... hopefully we'll talk and go on.

I don't expect a big crowd. But hopefully if this first meeting is interesting the word will spread.

I don't ever want it to be misconstrued that this was done to be the first. I didn't even know until somebody told me. Then I said to myself, 'Yeah, that makes sense. I should have realized that.' Hopefully there will come a time when this doesn't need to warrant the interest it has.

I don't even want to beat that drum anymore. We all know how I feel about that. I'm pretty sure the coaching staff feels the same way. I feel like a diamond in the rough, and hopefully they'll polish me up this year.

I don't even pay attention to that any more. We're just going into the playoffs trying to get ourselves better. We want to keep playing great basketball like we've been doing and hopefully end up playing in June.

I don't feel like we are reaching our full potential yet as a team. That is going to be our goal for the next meet coming up. For everyone to do what they are capable of doing and hopefully improve on some of the errors we made.

I don't feel like everybody's buying into Parcells' system. I think we have some individual players and hopefully we'll get rid of those guys.

I'd like to go Cup racing and Busch racing full time, but I've got to start somewhere and get my feet wet. The biggest question mark people have for me is, can I drive one of these cars? I'm doing one of each type of venue, hopefully try to do the best I can and maybe open up some doors.

I'd like to see them come down a little bit more. You have to take it as it comes, day-by-day and hopefully the trend will just keep going down. I've noticed a lot less friction with people.

I'd love to see somebody drill deep in this part of the country -- 5,000 feet or better. Hopefully some day somebody will do it.

I don't know what the reason is. We want to keep it going through six games and hopefully change the tide in the seventh.

I don't know, that's a good question. I hopefully don't add to that list. Champ Bailey is one of, if not the top corner in the game today. I know I felt that way. We're going to be aware of him, I can tell you that.

I don't know what it is about our first road trip but we struggle with it every year. Hopefully we've got it out of our system.

I don't know where that came from, but I had it. Hopefully it stays in there.

I don't know when I will be back. Hopefully it'll be sooner than later, but I honestly don't know.

I don't know why they're giving up the sacks, or what the mood is that the guys are going through, ... But hopefully they'll give up 20 this weekend to us because I need my first sack of the season. That's what I'm looking for.

I don't care what people on the outside are thinking, as long as we're working together as a team, hopefully our hard work will pay off and the results will speak for themselves.

I am excited for this excellent opportunity to go back to and coach at my alma mater. This will be an exciting challenge to be a part of the great athletic department here at Southern Utah and hopefully be an important cog in the future of this program.

I am certainly not disappointed to still be at Tynecastle. I love it here and never said I wanted to leave. I'm not the kind of person who will sulk about this. I've had the best times of my career at Hearts and hopefully there are more to come.

I am hopefully optimistic and that's about all I can really say.

I am happy to get two kids in the finals again, but I feel bad for Rusty. Hopefully Rusty will get over it. He is pretty devastated right now.

I am going to Australia next week to have a specialist's opinion on the two injured knees and if they advise an operation then I will go through it and hopefully get fit for the England tour.

I am going ahead with that development. I will hopefully have enough tenants in line by the end of the month that we can move.

I am in good position and I am looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully I can continue to hit it the way I have and just make a few more putts. Then I'll be happy.

I am hoping we can get close to that this year and hopefully play a little bit smarter. And be able to play within our own game. Some of the them don't have the best strokes, but be able to play a game that they can win even though they don't have the fanciest strokes and foot work.

I am hoping to do the same dunks I did last year. Hopefully I will perfect them.

I am just hoping to get to conference play on a positive note. A win tomorrow (Wednesday) will hopefully set us on the right path.

I am just here taking this all in. They are doing a great job of working with me, trying to prepare me and things like that. Hopefully I can put it all together and be successful.

IBM's announcement today hopefully is a harbinger of things to come. Investors need to know there's a sense of value among market leaders. IBM stepped up to the plate, and the market seemed to have rallied on the news and inspired other investors.

I believe we'll be a number one seed, but I have to check on that. I'm excited. It's a different season now, you lose, you go home. We'll take the next couple days to be prepared and work on the things we have to touch up and hopefully get after whoever we play.

I brought him here to see if he could understand some of the things and see a little bit how they're kind of off base on a couple areas. He's got a notepad, he's been filling it up. Hopefully he takes it back and learns something.

I am really proud of our girls. They have played hard and improved all year. Today, we came up just a little short, but hopefully that will motivate our entire team to work hard and improve during the summer.

I apologized to him like 100 times already. I definitely took full responsibility of what I did. Hopefully it's minor because I would hate for me to be the one to hurt his career or anything like that.

Ian has a load of potential. This is really his first big scoring game for us. It came at a great time for us. He showed flashes of this before. Hopefully this is a beginning for him. Maybe he was lacking a little confidence, like our team was.

Certainly it worked for me last year - hopefully it does again.

Central's size concerns me a little. The first I saw of them was (last Tuesday), and they are extremely talented. I didn't see any weaknesses. Hopefully we'll be able to do our homework and come up with some way to hang around and have a chance.

Cardinal Keeler is well respected among his fellow bishops, and the Archdiocese of Baltimore is the first American diocese, the seat of the church, ... The fact that he has chosen to be so public and forthright will hopefully resonate with bishops in other dioceses. The fact that Giuliani is a Republican, is popular, was involved with 9/11, doesn't change the fact that he is publicly opposed to fundamental Catholic teachings.

But this is a seven-match series and hopefully they would do so in the remaining games.

But it would mean a lot. I don't think I've shown New York how I can play tennis. Hopefully I can put together some good matches for my New York fans.

But it was also the best mistake I've ever made, because what it did was hopefully allow a whole new generation to make up their own minds about Scientology and for that I make no apology.

But it's not about the money. It's getting the opportunity to play in a very competitive league and hopefully getting back to a major league organization. And that's my priority.

But the atmosphere here is good -- hopefully this turns into a story of us doing well.

Bubba always finds a way to get on the field, ... Hopefully this is one of those ways this time.

Business owners large and small had hopefully evacuated from the area, so they don't know yet how their businesses have fared. It will be awhile before we'll be able to clarify the scope of this disaster.

Basically, we're hoping the rain and snowmelt will subside enough to get the middle and lower rivers back in shape so we don't have to fish those terminal areas any longer. Hopefully we'll have some wild fish to catch and release.

Basically, their serving is what got them through the game. Hopefully the jayvee is over their hump.

Basically when I went there, we toured the campus, I sat down and talked with Bob Stoops, Coach Wyatt let me sit in on a receivers meeting, then we went out to the field. Everything just clicked for me and I knew it was the right fit for me to be at Oklahoma, get my skills down and hopefully take the step to the next level.

Because of the efforts the players needed a little kick in the pants after the match. Hopefully it woke them up a bit.

Basically I have to throw wherever they put me, and if I'm successful, then hopefully it makes a good impression. It's a win-win situation, I guess. I can go out there and it's going to be a tough situation for me, but if I throw well, hopefully it looks good in their eyes and it helps me in the long run.

Chris has stepped up and has had some well pitched games. Our other pitchers have pitched well. Plus, playing on our home field will hopefully be an advantage.

I'm always thinking about the next game. Hopefully we can build from this game. I'm proud of every one of those guys.

I'm a pretty upbeat person. I think I sometimes get cast as these brooding types because I bring light and joy, which hopefully makes them more likable.

I'm an actor and that's what I do for a living, but I just wanted them to know where I came from and hopefully remember what I've started to do.

I'm a little worried about our timing. It's not where it was before we went into it. But I think it gave us a little more time to prepare; they do some things that are pretty difficult. Hopefully that time will be beneficial to us.

I'm a little overwhelmed. I'm appreciative of the support shown by all the voters in Framingham. Hopefully they've heard my message about the need for change.

I'm a lot better, ... Hopefully if I can continue to improve on a daily basis as much as I did, I feel optimistic about my chances of playing again soon.

I make paintings, try to get others to look at them and hopefully buy them.

I'm a guy who wants to get in there and play ... obviously I've been looking at it. Hopefully now I'll get one or two of those games.

I'm a huge fan of the films of the '70s and even into the '80s, Sidney Lumet, all those films that used what was going on in people's lives as drama. And not only are you entertained, but hopefully have a greater understanding of your world coming out of it.

I look forward to playing a guy like (Haas). He is someone who really has been at the top of the game and whether or not his ranking states it, he is one of the top players in the world, ... Beating guys like the way I have the last two days makes me think I can hopefully do some good things the rest of the week here and the next two weeks at the U.S. Open.

I live on a boat, which is in the midst of renovation... I figure the good Lord will put me in the right place and hopefully I'll have the right clothes on. I think what we're going to do is bring the boat through the Panama Canal. My husband has always wanted to do that. So I think we'll do that and have the boat in Florida for the winter.

I love being in the middle of it - listening a bar ahead, helping people achieve a performance, and hopefully not getting in the way of them!

I have spoken to Danny and he doesn't want to leave, I know that I don't want him to leave so hopefully that will put an end to the matter.

I have a great legal team. Certainly they're doing the best job they can do. At the end of the day, hopefully everything will work out.

I have always been pretty positive about the situation with Joey. The chairman and chief executive spoke to him this week and hopefully we can move it along and get a resolution to it.

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 within my grasp. It was really close and hopefully I can seal the deal next time.

I have been given the opportunity now. It is so fortunate. It is like a last chance. ... Hopefully you're playing the best golf at the right time. There are so many guys in the same shoes that have the same abilities. Sometimes it is all about getting the breaks at the right time. Mine came at Q-school.

I have my hands around the problem, we're not good enough yet. I have some young guys that are decently talented, but aren't ready yet. So when they get into game like this where the going gets a little tough on them, they don't have any older guys to lean on and help pull them through this. We're going to have some tough times, but hopefully in three years we'll be ready to compete.

I hate to say it, but I'm getting used to it a little bit. Our defense is strong. Even if it's close, as long as we can get a couple of runs, we're in good shape. Hopefully we can wake up the bats a little bit.

I hate to make the move, but Orlando understands that's what we need to do and hopefully his presence still being around will help us out.

I hate to keep saying it's early every day. It's obviously ... hopefully there's some learning experience in this. We've got to start finding ways to win and not keep finding ways to lose.

I have about 20 pages, actually. But I tried to consolidate it and slim it down a little bit. Hopefully some of the stuff we can use to help us win.

I had two chances on the wing I don't usually get. We have to take advantage of that and hopefully the fans will come out again with the entertainment, but we definitely need to get some points.

I give a lot of credit to their pitcher. She made the right pitches when it counted and we couldn't get it done when we needed to, and hopefully they'll learn from that.

I felt pretty good. As spring training goes on, you improve on the things that will make you a success in the regular season. Today, I did a few things right and a few things I feel like I can improve on. I feel like I'm headed in the right direction. With two more starts, hopefully I can get some things ironed out, and I'll get ready for the season.

I felt great. I knew I was leaving and I wanted to leave on a good note. Hopefully I'll be back to finish this.

I felt like I hit a lot of good putts. The quality is there and hopefully it will continue into the weekend.

I felt like I had a decent training camp and preseason and all that stuff, but I think they lost confidence in me the first game. Hopefully I can bring that confidence back.

I felt for these kids after that football game. Hopefully we can erase some of disappointment in basketball.

I feel we're definitely one of the top 16; hopefully we'll go at least as high as 14. If we get another game, I hope our fans can go on the road and support us, and we'll need to play with fire and passion for 32 minutes.

I feel we are getting stronger and stronger every weekend. And hopefully that will keep going as the season continues.

I feel we are faster and stronger this season. The whole group has been willing to work hard in order to be more successful. We have the potential, they care about each other, and hopefully that good chemistry will develop eventually.

I feel very vindicated. I'm looking at a very positive campaign, and hopefully this will close this whole chapter.

I feel very sad when it happens and hopefully the day will come when it is more objective and balanced. I invite listeners to let us know if they hear any kind of bias whether it is to the right or the left. We need to shine the light on that.
