Agent Quotes
The smartest thing I ever did as a writer was hire a retired conservation agent to blaze a hiking trail for me. It's nothing fancy - just a narrow path that meanders for a little over a mile through the woods near my home. But that trail through the trees has become my therapist, my personal trainer, and my best editor.
-
Absolutely Quotes
What I absolutely want is to suggest that before it's anything else, redemption is God mending the bicycle of our souls; God bringing out the puncture repair kit, re-inflating the tires, taking off the rust, making us roadworthy once more. Not so that we can take flight into ecstasy, but so that we can do the next needful mile of our lives.
-
Alongside Quotes
I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically, so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination. And it's just fantastic to be there alongside Louie as he's breaking the NCAA mile record. People at these vigorous moments in their lives - it's my way of living vicariously.
-
Equally Quotes
If an athlete takes a shortcut - literally, for example, by running a street that shortens the marathon route by a quarter mile - he or she doesn't have an insurmountable advantage. But it's an unfair advantage, and in a field of equally matched athletes, it's more than enough to make a difference.
-
Crossed Quotes
We're just sitting here with our fingers crossed and hoping the eye goes east of us. If the TVA transmission lines go down, we'll go down, because we're dependent on them. Our system is in good shape, but when you get 80-100 mile per hour winds, it's hard to predict what's going to happen. We're making preparations for the worst, but hoping for the best.

Bit Quotes
When he first started to make his move I thought we still had a chance to run that horse down. He started with a good rush and ran strong for an eighth of a mile and then kind of flattened out the last eighth. At that point, he's usually running by all of them. He ran by all of them but the last one today. We needed that other horse to stop a little bit and he never did.
-
Against Quotes
We're happy, very happy. We were very happy that he was able to close, that's his style. Fernando has been on him his previous three or four races, and he always comes running late. So, we were happy that he showed that same run today again, especially against this caliber of horse. It looks like he will like a mile and a quarter and we are sure looking forward to the opportunity.

Against Quotes
Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog, but that mile and a quarter - he hasn't run in four months. He's an amazing horse. He's developed; he's gotten taller and longer. He's got a lot of ability. Hopefully, if he can duplicate his Wood Memorial (G1), you'll see what kind of horse he is.

Accept Quotes
She was confident she was going to have success and she did. One thing we knew - we don't exactly know how much it is going to hurt - there is going to be some amount of pain in the mile and the two-mile. You've got to accept it. It's not exactly the outcome we were looking for, but still it's two all-state performances in one day.

Architect Quotes
Situated a mile high in the Canadian Rockies, Banff Springs is one of the most spectacular golf course settings in the world. Legendary architect Stanley Thompson sculpted the course on a broad scale to maximize the impact of the vistas. A hole called the 'Devil's Cauldron' is framed by Mount Rundle and considered one of the game's most compelling par-3s.

Access Quotes
Motorola has a great portfolio of wireless broadband products that can cost-effectively extend the voice and high-speed digital subscriber lines (DSL) of our IOC customers. The Motorola MOTOwi4 Canopy broadband products are of special importance because they round out the Alltel product portfolio for last mile access to the home.

Compete Quotes
One thing that's been so special over the years is our kids compete no matter what. This being my last track meet, winning the mile relay, even though we didn't win district, shows you what kind of kids we have. Winning the mile relay is always important to us. I think we found four kids that are going to do really well. They're all underclassmen. I expect them to go to Austin, probably this year.
-
Doubt Quotes
No doubt the fast racetrack made the difference. She spun her wheels in the slop last time. I could see she was in trouble in the Old Hat after an eighth of a mile when the jockey was scrubbing on her and she was going nowhere. A lot of horses didn't run that day and we were one of them.
-
Bring Quotes
I didn't want to bring him back going a mile and one-eighth in the Hal's Hope because there are some hotshots in there who might make him overextend himself, and I didn't want to knock him out. He's really not a six-furlong horse. I would really have preferred to start him at seven furlongs or a mile, but I wanted to get a competitive race under his belt, and whether he wins or loses, it shouldn't exhaust him.
-
Becomes Quotes
I have spoken to distance runners who, as exhaustion approaches, pick their stopping places a mile in advance, with the rule that any place more distant can be picked at any time before they reach the current target, and once picked even by the most fleeting resolve it becomes controlling.

Block Quotes
Historians will look back on this period of time following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as a defining moment for both our state and nation. To neglect the needs of this vital region sets an unimaginable precedent for America's response to future catastrophes in our nation. Our elected leaders need to see for themselves -- block by block, mile by mile -- the immense devastation, and the pressing challenges faced by so many people in this region.

Distance Quotes
Hogs are extremely sensitive to hunting pressure, and they can move quite a distance in a short time. If hogs receive a lot of hunting pressure, they'll pick up and move, often a mile or two away. So when you have hogs on your property, all your neighbors soon will have hogs on their lands too, whether they want them or not.

Amazing Quotes
Kate has had a lot of amazing Ironman success so I knew she was going to be tough at the end when I was starting to fade a little bit. I saw at the turnaround that I had a mile on her, and I though that unless I really messed up I should keep the lead. I'm still kind of new at this and I'm always trying to judge my pace.
