Sat Quotations | Page 3

I'd be a liar if I sat here and told you this isn't what I've worked my whole career for. There is no place I wanted to coach other than Iowa. I was late for some things as a kid, but I was never late for Iowa public television broadcasts of Iowa wrestling.

I cut him down and sat with him for a couple of hours. The look on his face was just unbelievable, but in my heart, I'm happy for him because he will never have to go through that pain.

I can honestly say this is probably one of the best horses I've sat on.

Buffett came and sat in with us the other night in Chicago. That was fun. He and I played 'A Pirate Looks at Forty,' one of his songs. We actually know each other pretty well now. We're definitely from the same breed -- guys who like to go on boats and surf and have a good time, so I don't mind being compared to him at all.

Bulldogs are adorable, with faces like toads that have been sat on

But after I sat down (for the medical time-out), I really felt it and just couldn't go on. I'm sad that I couldn't play. Unfortunately, if it's your Achilles, you feel it all the time; it's not a special movement.

Based on the presentation that we heard today, there are more issues then the last time we sat down, ... It fails to target tax relief on middle incomes as the president's approach would do.

Basically, when I went to school in Sri Lanka from age five onward, the classes there were sometimes sorted into a hierarchy of your skin tone. So the fairer-skinned kids sat at the front row, and the darker-skinned kids sat at the back by the poor ones who played out in the street all day long.

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.

Basically I want to come in first place. I haven't sat down and looked at numbers. It's too easy to get caught up in that. I just go out and play hard everyday.

Basically 50 and Scrappy were already good friends, ... While we were out on tour, 50 came to me with the business proposition, and we sat down and worked it out.

Because she sat where she sat, we are now sitting in Congress, ... We are sitting in the Supreme Court. We are sitting as CEOs and heads of universities.

I have been going to him my whole life and I sat in the chair and was going nowhere and didn't want to go to college and asked him if I went to barber college if I could work there. I am glad that he gave me this opportunity and maybe the shop will be able to go another 40 years.

I have a bunch of stuff written that we haven't used, but I haven't sat down and really focused on what to put toward the album.

I had wonderful visions. I sat down at home on the divan and started to dream. What I was thinking appeared in colors and in pictures. It lasted for a couple of hours and then it disappeared.

I had sat around campfires all my life, since I was 10 years old. I wanted the sound of water.

I felt I had to do something like that. I sat out for a long time and had to make up for it somehow. I had to take over the game and help Paul out.

I felt great today. I want to play. I've sat out enough times already. My head is really clear now. There should be no setbacks.

I finished my workout, but stayed to watch the game. I sat near him. He looked over and asked me if I was from New York, because of the way I laced my sneakers. So we got talking.

I find it reprehensible considering he (Goss) failed to carry out adequate oversight when he sat on the House intelligence committee.

If I really sat down and thought about all the possible implications, the good, amazing things it could mean, you could go a little crazy.

I can't let Peter beat me, ... When there's a big meet, I like to swim a fast time. I didn't want to disappoint my grandma, who sat in the sun all day, and my girlfriend who came from Michigan.

If I was coaching I would've yanked his butt out of the game. After a couple of those long bombs, I would've sat him down.

Getting the first one and doing it fast relieved a little pressure. I was really nervous to get past that one. I was also tight for my semifinal. I didn't really wrestle well. I didn't attack. I just sat on the lead, which isn't my style, but I really just wanted to ensure that I got to the district.

For me, that was a worry, and I sat down with him and said exactly that, ... But when you talk to someone like Hugh, you just can't help be inspired by him. Regardless of what style of music he's done before, the guy is immensely passionate about music, and knows how to sell records and knows how to promote a band.

For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

Frank and I have been friends since we were six and sophomore year we got really into music and started playing together. Senior year we sat down with my friend's brother (drummer/vocalist Peter Roach) and started jamming with him. We had never played with a drummer before Pete.

I don't think anyone thinks that the SAT score is a measure of your innate intelligence. It is not. That is a fallacious concept, and we at Kaplan, and others who are in a position, should be out there making sure people know this is nothing, this score does not have anything to do with your innate intelligence.

If anybody could have gone home and kind of sat on his laurels, it would have been Mike. I told Mike, 'You're being awful picky, but it is deeply appreciated.' Mike's a good shortstop, but he wants to be the best.

Godfrey's wife, Charmian, sat with her eyes closed, attempting to put her thoughts into alphabetical order, which Godfrey had told her was better than no order at all since she now had grasp of neither logic nor chronology

If we sat on our haunches and didn't participate, we would be remiss.

If the bag had, in fact, contained the explosive device that was anticipated, the bomb could have detonated several times over in the hour that the bag sat there.

He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't as far as what he was going to do with Pedro. If you sat here today and said you had a three-run lead going into the eighth with a chance to go to the World Series, would you want Pedro back out there? Of course.

He has a bone bruise, plus he has a chip, which we cleaned out. We sat and talked to Brandon a long time. He is super important to us. We decided it was probably best for the team and for him, rather than to try and rush him back, to put him in IR.

He has done a lot for this tournament. We haven't sat down and discussed it yet, but he brings a pretty strong case from the marketing perspective.

Had we sat down and said, 'Let's start a photo application,' we would have failed. We would have done all this research and done all the wrong things.

He got really attached to her, she sat on his knee and he sang along to her.

He looked pretty awesome today. He sat off that pace and I really liked how he was extending. Victor tells me this horse is better than we thought.

He looked like he got in a fight with me. I sat around and cracked every joke I could that I had, to make him laugh ... It was tough, but he's going to be good. He's strong. I was more emotional than he was. He's going to be fine.

We've been through so many threats, we had no clue it was going to get this bad. The last time they had an evacuation, we sat out on our porch and watched people go. We didn't leave until they predicted it would be a level three or four storm.

When he sat out he didn't get down about it or anything like that. I think it might have fueled him a little bit to come and play well. He's played great since he's been back.

We've finished making unilateral, painful concessions. After the euphoria dies, the Palestinians will have to get down to taking real steps to show that they can stop terrorist activity. I would suggest to the Palestinians to hold your horses, because we are much stronger than we were when we sat in Gaza. So if anyone has illusions that this means they can force Israel into making further concessions under pressure of violence, they're in for a big surprise.

When I played 'Survivor', I sat back many times and marveled that no one had gotten into a real physical altercation. With all the backbiting, lies, and lack of food, a fight didn't sound far off base, considering the strained and fragile emotions.

What? You now have become the first recording artist I've ever sat across from who said, 'I wanted that album to sell fewer copies.' Why?

He obviously sat next to me in Washington and lied. I don't know that there's any way to prove that anything he did was not under the influence of performance-enhancing drugs.

Having Seth Price get early fouls was a big factor, and as the first half went along he sat a lot. It helped us that we got off to a good start.

He said he wasn't ready to come out. But then he sat down for a while, came back, and made a shot like that. We wanted him to rest his legs. Your legs can suffer when you take as many shots as he does.

He's almost a qualifier. He's taking the SAT again. He's motivated. What's good is all three of them can go up there together.

He's a senior and he didn't want to quit. Forrest plays hard. A lot of people don't know he has had a bad knee all year ... He never sat out a practice, never sat out a game. He's a tough-nosed player. He's been a three-year starter. We're definitely going to miss his leadership out there.

He's got eight seconds to throw. He sat back there, could have made a sandwich, ate it, dropped half of it, picked it up, ate it, and oh yeah, then thrown the ball.

He sat up in a chair on Sunday afternoon, and has already done so this morning, and will be encouraged to do so again this afternoon.

His presence, if he sat here at this table, (you'd see) he's a leader. And we felt our guys up front needed a leader to come in at the center position.

Historically, there was a building that sat that far back,

He's going to try to get a higher score on the ACT or SAT and the FCAT. Right now, he has some pretty good options. He's going to study hard and get in the gym and work hard and get ready to join the team in January.

He sat down with my family, and I felt more of a bond with him than the other coaches who came to visit.

He sat down and watched the game on tape and took everything we said in an extremely positive way.

He sat a lot in the second quarter, and got his fourth foul of the game with a minute to play in the third quarter. That really hurt us. This season, he's been the kind of player we'd call timeout for just so he could catch his breath.

When he came to my home, he was just as nice as he could be, well-educated, well-mannered. We sat and talked numerous times together. We thought a lot alike. And I respected him a lot, I really did. This is what is so very painful for me.

We met a lot of people in Detroit and we all got along really well and we were all like-minded. I played bass with the (Detroit) Cobras for awhile and I recorded on the first White Stripes record and sat in with lots of other people. We all kind of came up together. It's an honest association. It's a small collective group of people who played music and were into the same thing before all the hype. We all have the same roots.

We have to be bound by the collective bargaining agreement. But that doesn't preclude anyone from being sat down. I think (vice president) Kevin Warren alluded to that. That is something I'll have to look at.

We make love on it, our children scratch their names beneath, ... Then you bring other women while I am out of town. And I can always sense when a stranger has sat down.

He was one that didn't jump right in right away. He just kind of sat back and watched, but once he was secure and felt he could do something, he'd join right in.

I actually sat out in the audience a few times with my mother.

I actually played my first game in the Navy in 1944. They needed a fourth (player) for bridge and I knew how to play whist, so I sat in.

I actually once sat at the back of a payroll class in America - just me and 40 women! And I'm sitting back there, learning payroll, because I want to understand it. So that when I talk to people about payroll I know what they're talking about. And I set up and managed and ran a full payroll system myself.

I actually made the decision to run after seeing the interview on Meet the Press, when she said she didn't know the law as she sat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

I always enjoyed La Costa. I had some great times there. It was kind of funny, because La Costa sat right on the heels of the Masters and I'd say to my wife, 'I really don't want to go out and play this week; I'm tired.' And Barbara would say, 'You get out of this house and get out there and play.' And she'd kick me out and make me go out there, and rightfully so, because I always had good preparation for the Masters and it carried over many times into the Tournament of Champions.

He could have sat back there and played it safe and waited and got ready for the puck. It's a play that needed to be made and he made it. That's a big lift for everybody.

He didn't even qualify last year, so he was a little nervous. I sat him down and told him that he was one of the best. He came out and had quite a run.

He didn't belong in a hospital. He just sat all the time. He did nothing. That's why I have the anger I have.

Hal and I really just sat back and started thinking about things, and the way that I need to go about seeing pitches and getting in the right frame of mind, ... I've just been working hard every day to get where I needed to be.

I was like, 'Well, why not? This is what you do. This is your job.' So when I asked him for help, he sat down and helped me.

Kenny Rogers is not the guy he likes to face very often, so we sat him out. But he was ready to play. We've lost a lot of people, and Jacque is one guy who needs to step up.... Hopefully that's a good start for him to get on a roll.

I wouldn't say it brought a tear to my eye, but certainly a little bit of a lump in my throat when I (first) sat down here and looked out that window and said, OK, this is a great responsibility I have.

I wrote my first novel in eighth grade for a boy named Kenny on whom I had an unrequited crush and who sat behind me in social studies.

I wrestled with this, even over the last few days, as I sat and stood and walked in Louisiana, where I saw people ravaged, lives torn. I thought about the fact that we need a man that's strong enough to bring us through 9/11 but compassionate enough that if Katrina hits, will make sure that poor people are not the scapegoats of a natural disaster.

Kaplan believes that no student should take the SAT without adequate preparation. Given the importance of the SAT in the college admissions process, we wanted to give every student the access to high-quality test prep resources, no matter what their financial circumstances.

It came and went really quick. I'm just glad we held on to the lead or else (the home runs) would have been for naught..... I didn't even see Frank's swing. And by the time I sat down, Milton went deep.

It became a drug which was difficult to commercialize, ... We sat there with a drug in which we had invested a significant amount of development and where we had sales that were less than exciting.

I thought we sat back in the second period a little bit. We had a lot of power play chances there, and we got a little bit cute. I thought we sat back, but we came out in the third and played a little better.

It is good for younger people to see how things were done before modern conveniences when you sat in the tractor exposed to the cold, heat and rain. These tractors were before air conditioning, heat and stereos. This also gives the older people an opportunity to relive memories.

I was campaigning in 1998 on Second Street. I met a man named Lou Alves who sat me down on his porch and told me, ?We have a problem in the city.? Mr. Alves said there were no true soccer fields for the youngsters to play on. He said it was an impediment and was causing some families to move to places like Cumberland where such soccer fields did exist.

I was amazed the first time we sat down and talked about our offense. He rearranged our whole passing game. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was very obvious that he had a real good understanding of the offensive part of the game.

I thought we gave them a touch too much respect early in the first half and sat back. I was really proud of how the girls didn't give up in the second half.

I thought Raja Bell did a good job of playing Rip a different way every time. You got a guy that can score off screens like Rip, you can't do the same thing every time. He'll pick you apart. They did a good job of switching things up. It kind of confused Rip for a minute. I think when he went and sat down and saw how he was playing defense, when he went back in there, he made some adjustments.

I think we spent between a third and a half of it and we sent the rest back, ... The money sat in an account, so it was very easy for us to do that.

I think what really helped was going down to the minor leagues. I had that little hamstring deal, and then I had sat out a couple games. I think I came back and struck out like three times. I felt I needed to go down and get some at-bats, and it worked out good.

I think anyone who sat through this game for three-and-a-half hours figured it would end in that kind of way. To Matt?s credit, he hit the ball hard. I would have preferred it on the ground, but if you keep it down things like that happen sometimes.

It got a little interesting out there, obviously. After the third set, when Andy sat down, I just said, 'Hey, there's a chance here they're going to bring out all the stops here in the fourth set. Just stay calm. I'll stay calm. Focus on your tennis.' Andy did a great job of that.

It goes way beyond the doctor-patient privilege with him. He really cares about you. I got to know who he was when I was in high school and my dad trusted the family. I remember two years ago in Cincinnati, I was home alone and was running a fever of 105 around midnight. I called him and he and his wife (Hilary) came over to the house and sat with me for a couple of hours.

I think we all sat in our hotel rooms (after the semifinal) and sulked. Once we got in the locker room, we let it go. Wherever we finished is better than people thought we'd do.

Last year it moved late, so people sat in base camp all May just waiting for an opportunity to go.

Last year, I sat my helmet on the field and it blew over and the wind blew it down the field. If the wind is going to blow hard enough to blow my helmet around the field, that's bad. I should be a charter member of weather.com . I look at it every single day.

I went down with my guitar and sat on his steps until he got there. And when he got there I introduced myself and he said, ""You're the one that's been calling."" I said, ""Yeah."" You know, I had to take the chance, he was either going to let me come in, or he was going to run me off. Evidently, he woke up on the right side of the bed that morning. He said, ""Come on in, let's listen.

I went to Coachella once, and it was only to go see Leonard Cohen. I got in the car and sat through all the crazy traffic in L.A. to get there - instead of a two hour drive, it takes, like, six hours. Then I watched his set and turned around and left. I just so wanted to see him perform in the desert.

I went to a party recently that some of the students gave, ... and I sat around, trying to keep quiet for the first hour. And finally some of them said to me, 'What was it like 30 years ago'? And I started telling a few things that happened and I realized that was a complete mistake. They just sort of hung their heads and said, 'God, we're so dull.'

I was a complete unknown when I did 'Karate Kid.' I'd just done a pilot for a TV show called 'Call to Glory.' And I sat down with John Avildsen and brought still pictures from the show. I brought pictures! At that point, I would've been happy to be in a dog-food commercial.

I was a chunky little kid, and when they sat me in that wagon, it tipped backward and I banged my head on the (concrete) floor. I was howling pretty good, but Dad went outside and cried his eyes out.

I was a little nervous in the beginning. And then when I sat down for the break between the sets, I said to myself, 'It's O.K. You are here in the Vodafone Arena, this big court. You need to show some tennis to the audience. Just relax and play your game.' And that happened.

I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. There's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall in love with them and then you never know where the hell you are. - The Catcher in the Rye
