Sat Quotations | Page 2

When I was old enough to walk home alone from school, I loved seeing our house from a distance. It sat on the corner of South Muirfield Road and West 4th Street and had this proud, majestic look. But I rarely went through the front door. The back was more dramatic.

When we got the news about Charlie, we sat there, looking at each other and thinking, 'OK, what now? We realized we may not totally agree on everything, but there are too many plusses to our relationship.

We got up on them and killed the clock pretty good. They sat back in their zone and gave us the three any time we wanted it, so why not wait until late into the shot clock to take it. We took good shots, but sometimes the long ball won't go in.

We blew everybody out (in the league), and then when we played Regis it was an unnecessarily close game. I told my team, 'How is it that we can blow everybody out, Regis struggled with everybody, and we can't blow Regis out?' And they sat back and they thought about it.

Three weeks ago nobody wanted to talk to me. I walked on at Sony and I got about two or three kids asking for autographs. But then Sunday afternoon I sat there for as long as they'd keep coming.

The approach to that movie wasn't, 'Lets make this movie about Amsterdam and maple syrup.' The concept was, 'Lets go to Amsterdam. Amsterdam is fun.' So we flew to Amsterdam with our cameras and we saw what happened and then we got back and we sat down and we said, 'What's the movie here.' That's when we realized that the movie was 'The Maple Syrup Saga'.

Would Corey Perry have won the scoring title last year if he sat out in the third period all the time in the games that weren't close. I don't think he would've won it. You have to think about things like that. It's important.

World War II really fascinated me because it's the only time that everybody in this country sat down at the same table, because eating on rations was your patriotic duty.

We're still looking for our go-to guy, but I'm starting to see senior leadership start to form. I sat the seniors down and talked to them about stepping up. I don't know if it just hit them or if they're tired of losing, but they're starting to step up.

We have sat on the river bank and caught catfish with pin hooks. The time has come to harpoon a whale.

When we sat down at the negotiating table yesterday, we were prepared to do what the governor had asked of us - to stay as long as it takes to reach an agreement that would allow us to do what all New Yorkers want - rebuild the World Trade Center. Unfortunately, it appears that we were the only ones at the table with that commitment.

Lewis and Clark's expedition is as great a story as you could ever hope to tell, and like so many people, Brad and I have both been drawn to it for years, ... We both always agreed that compressing that story into a feature-length film ruined the spirit of it ... so we sat down and said, 'How can we really do this justice?'

Last year, we kind of got lulled to sleep. We didn't play until Sunday, and we sat around for two days.

Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it "dull" that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull?

So I sat at the table and it was like a lightning flash hit me.

she was a brave, brave woman. She stood up and sat down at a moment in American history, when very few other people thought that was appropriate or had the courage to do it - in 1955. She said, 'Why should I be a second-class citizen? I'm an American, and that's all that should really matter. I'm willing to take the consequences.' And she did. She became a role model for generations that followed. She certainly has to be in the front rank of American heroes.

She was very nervous. I said, 'Even if you're nervous, be strong for the girls.' And she sat up in her chair.

She was really, really focused. She did a lot of scoring and dishing off. When she sat out a quarter, we really didn't miss a beat. Joy Rutland was phenomenal.

She was pretty raw and technically she didn't know what was going on and that's understandable. So we sat back and laughed. We had all been there, we had all been the ones who didn't know what to do. I remember my first film was terrifying, so it was nice to sit back like I was Jack Lemmon or something.

She sat there with that Cheshire cat grin on her face as if they had me.

She sat there like she'd done all this before. She was so docile. That fish probably thinks this is all just part of the spawning process.

She sat there and consciously made the decision to sit there for 10 minutes while the baby laid inside the toilet. Moments later she then used a pair of scissors to remove the child's umbilical cord, and then waited an additional 10 minutes before pulling the child out of the toilet and wrapping her in a towel.

She sat down in order that we might stand up. Paradoxically, her imprisonment opened the doors for our long journey to freedom.

She sat down in order that we might stand up.

She slipped a little behind leaving the gate, but Alex played it cool. He sat still and waited to move.

Olympia Jacobs was dealing with a bad foot and sat out the first three quarters, but came in and really sparked us (in the fourth quarter). We were hoping to get through it without her, but we got into some foul trouble and lost the lead. She only scored three points, but her defensive energy got everyone going.

One of my earliest recollections is being woken up at some ungodly hour in the morning by my parents and sat in front of the fairly new black and white television, watching a grainy image of a man in a white suit climbing down a ladder. It was the first moon landing, and I became a sort of spaceman, as many kids were.

She came over and sat down and we talked for about an hour and a half that day and for the first time I saw a spark and excitement from her about starting the season and really wanting to do well. It's like that switch just flipped that year.

She had to do a lot for us. Most of the time she was guarding a player on the defensive end who was three or four inches taller than her. Her endurance was nothing but incredible. There weren't many games when she sat out for very long. She played a lot of minutes for us.

She is in a tough spot. On the one hand, she is a very hard-working, conscientious public servant. She is going to want to pitch in if needed. On the other hand, she seems to sincerely want to spend more time with her ailing husband, and I don't think she is interested in sitting in October and November, only to be replaced and have no vote in the cases she sat on.

She just sat and sobbed. I thought we'd hurt her or offended her, but she was just moved.

She made this connection with her reality show back in 2002; people just sat back and took her in, so the real strength of her celebrity is her personality,

Mired in a batting slump, Bonds sat in the locker room and complained about his uncharacteristic struggle to get his offense going. I can't put my finger on the problem, said Barry aloud. I'm struggling. Can't buy a hit. Bonds then looked up and noticed a chronically poor-hitting teammate nearby. Bonds turned to him and said something like - you must feel like this all the time.

Me and coach sat down and watched some film to see what I was doing wrong. I wasn't squaring my body up a lot of times. I've been doing that the last couple days in practice and it's paid off.

My idea when I sat down to write it was to put myself in the position of a young man wanting to do the right thing,

My last trip was to the States, and on the way back I sat in the cockpit for take-off and landing. In a funny way, I think aircrew know that I've travelled a lot and therefore feel we are fellow professionals to some degree-which is nice, very complimentary.

My freshman year, we all sat and watched as the seniors fought for a sectional championship but didn't get it. We knew any of those games last week could be our last game, so we gave it everything we had.

My first plane trip, I sat next to him. And I got yelled at because I was a rookie and you weren't supposed to sit next to a veteran. But he made me feel like it was all right. He was one of the greatest guys, greatest teammates, I've ever been associated with.

One memory that just really stood out in my mind was our first home basketball game. She had some time before the game started. Each one of the girls came up to her, and she asked them how they wanted their hair done. They sat in front of her and she did their hair in blue and yellow ribbons.

One night, our captors took us downstairs, sat us in front of the TV, and showed us the life of Jesus on DVD in Arabic. But these are the people who shot Tom Fox in the head. People are very complex. Also, I think they wanted to keep us happy, so that we wouldn't try any desperate escape.

One of my personal favorite moments in life was when a buddy of mine and I were working in the joust. We finished up one really hot day, went over to the Rosie Stag, a little on-site period tavern, clapped our swords on the table, ordered up a pitcher of ale, whipped out our period pipes and tobacco, and just sat there relaxing for the next hour waiting for the next joust. Moments like that, you feel like you've transcended into what (life) might have been at that time.

None of us walked into it blindly. Our husbands sat us down and told us what to expect.

My dad sat me in front of the TV, and instead of putting on Nick Jr. or something, he put me in front of 'Jailhouse Rock' and all the Elvis movies.

More North Carolina students are taking the SAT and they are improving their scores every single year.

More than half the states now require passage of a test before awarding a high school diploma. Proponents claimed this additional hurdle would 'raise the bar' for educational quality.

My family and I sat down and discussed this. I was just spread too thin, dealing with my home and the administrative duties.

My favorite memory of Dave was up in Duluth when he had, like, 27 in the second half. It was just crazy watching that. He was just going off. You just sat there in awe.

My favorite magazine is the 'Harvard Business Review.' If someone sat across from me in a restaurant and didn't know me, that might surprise them.

My dad lived on Sunset Boulevard for a couple of years as a waiter, and he said he'd do a different character every time somebody sat down, just to get some practice.

Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.

Nobody who sat across the negotiating table from the United States came out of the talks feeling they got a fair deal. And many feel they've been outright cheated.

Right across the road from us is a cemetery. Grant Wood sat in that cemetery and painted one of his famous valley paintings.

Richard Nixon went to China, and Ronald Reagan sat down with the Russians. Today President Bush has the same kind of opportunity to change his course. But it will take more than just a speech to do it.

My second thought was my wife (Cyndi) and my children, and how quickly I could prepare them for what we would be facing. Then I sat there and felt like, 'Man, I wasted a lot of time.' You sure look at things differently.

One of the great ironies is that I firmly believe that had it not been for the notoriety, had she had a normal situation, the physicians would have sat down with her family and once the family had come to terms with it she would have died some time ago. I think she has been kept alive longer because of my caution.

I was happy for him. That was his first live contact since last year's championship game. He's been running well in practice the last couple of weeks. He has been a trooper. He has sat there and been patient. Duce ran really hard against a good football team.

I was scared and sat in the snow - I couldn't go down.

I was sat down after the first game of last season,

I was sat at home watching it and thinking that I have missed the best game in Northern Ireland's history,

If these guys couldn't play, they wouldn't be here. And I think that's what people forget. Everybody buys into the hype that comes out of the Cleveland media, and nobody here in Denver has truly sat back and evaluated the situation. If they did, they'd say it's a great thing Denver did.

I got up from my table and he sat down at my table, ... It's shocking, because he sat at my table and 30 seconds later he got shot.'

If they sat and discussed frankly and openly, I think we will be able to find a solution,

I have got enough of my own issues to concentrate on but if he wants my advice, and we have sat down and talked about different things, then absolutely I would be there.

I don't even know what made me start wanting to do music. It just... happened. Because I sat in my basement all the time, and music was my best friend, and I just wanted to be a part of it.

I don't consider myself to be incredibly confident, or really lacking in confidence. When you're on Jonathan Ross' or Graham Norton's show, inevitably there's something to sell. And there's a live audience; you're sat between Cameron Diaz and Tinie Tempah - I don't really see it as 'me.' It would be odd if it was.

I'd like to sit and talk to him between innings when I'm pitching. It keeps my mind off the game a little. Most of the time, I like to talk not about the game, but something else. The last couple years it was a little hard because Leo wasn't like that. He's really into the game. So I'd talk to whoever sat next to me. We'd talk about anything.

I'd love to interview Bill Clinton. I know that might be a little boring, but he's so interesting and such an amazing guy. All he's done after his presidency... he hasn't just sat around, he's been so active in so many charitable causes.

I don't know, you'll have to ask the coach about that. I just sat there and tried to cheer on my teammates.
