Best Quotes
We gotta be as intense as possible, but at the same time intensity and consistency have to go hand-in-hand. Yeah, we can play our hearts out, but if we aren't sharp and we aren't good, it isn't gonna matter. Our intensity has to breed better play. We just have to be at our best these next couple of weeks of practice and in the playoffs.

Ability Quotes
We expected A.J. to have an immediate impact and he certainly has not disappointed anyone. It's hard sometimes sitting out a year, but he did a good job of playing hard and staying sharp last season during practice. He's gotten stronger over the last year, and A.J. certainly gives us a physical presence on the inside. What really also adds to his effectiveness and opens up opposing defenses is his ability to hit the outside shot.

Athletic Quotes
Boise State is an extremely hard-working team. They're the hardest working team I think we've played. They're not overly big, but they're athletic and just work really hard. The key is matching their intensity because they're going to come out hard and play hard, that's a given. They do a lot of things well. We have to be ready to play and we have to be sharp and we have to match their intensity.

Aside Quotes
Each January, we would set aside time to pray. We had a band, families, and we traveled. We had 20 people, and we needed to make sure there was cohesiveness and purpose. The Lord would gently speak into our hearts about what songs to do to be that sharp sword. In 1988, we were praying, and we felt the Lord saying that we would fulfill the commitments for that year and then stop. We were obedient, and spiritually, it was right. We missed it, but at the same time, he opened up other avenues in our hearts and minds.

Beggars Quotes
There's more work to be got out of one of those little beggars than out of a dozen of the force, Holmes remarked. ""The mere sight of an official-looking person seals men's lips. These youngsters, however, go everywhere and hear everything. They are as sharp as needles, too; all they want is organization.

Average Quotes
The tobacco buyout is a double-edged sword that cuts sharp and deep. For large-scale white producers, the buyout is a jackpot. Many will become millionaires. Black farmers, however, will receive little. About 12,000 black farmers will receive approximately $300 million - the average black quota holder will receive only $5,000.

Attitude Quotes
I've never heard kids blame other kids to their faces on-stage. I've never heard people give the judges a mouthful and say 'I'm quitting the show.' Everybody has more attitude this season. I've never seen people as willing to (be harsh to) others as this crowd. Before, we've said to them 'You want to win. You want to get rid of other people' and they've said 'No, we all love each other.' Well, not this crowd... Thank God there weren't any sharp instruments.

Economy And Economics Quotes
The sharp pullback in economic growth during the final three months of 2005 shows the law of gravity has not been repealed. When consumers are burdened with heavy debt loads, rising interest rates, higher energy costs, no personal savings and household income growth that falls below inflation, something had to give. This retrenchment in spending was generally foreseen, though economists weren't sure on the timing and magnitude.

Artists Quotes
The sharp increase of product placement in film and television too often takes place without any compensation to the very performers that are expected to push those products -- and more often is done without any consultation with those performers and their representatives. It is time for producers to work with artists on this issue, and the best way to do that is to establish a cooperative code of conduct that will protect the artist, the viewing public and advertiser-supported, free television.

Airlines Quotes
The sector has been pretty terrible up to this point, even without the industry shutdown. So what has happened now is like piling on to an industry that was already down. Barring sharp gains in the overall market, and if the markets goes down, then the airlines may well be down more than the overall market on a percentage basis.

Auto Quotes
The team wasn't sharp in last Saturday's regional. And I definitely wasn't sharp. I got caught in a headlock in the first period and never recovered. But I came back to get third. We had a hard week of practice. I knew the situation going into that last period. I knew about the stalling. So I kicked it into auto gear and kept telling myself to never quit.

Advance Quotes
The threat of a Fed policy firming on Nov. 16 will continue to weigh on the markets, despite the weak payroll figures reported in this morning's employment report. The sharp advance (in wage growth) will, nevertheless, worry Fed policy makers who are already concerned about the tightness in the labor market.

Cutting Quotes
Scientific facts are often described in textbooks as if they just sort of exist, like nickels someone picked up on the street. But science at the cutting edge, conducted by sharp minds probing deep into nature, is not about self-evident facts. It is about mystery and not knowing. It is about taking huge risks.

Bit Quotes
The one hit, I thought I was done. There was a sharp pain, I didn't think I would be able to get up. But that's happened before and you get up and move it around a little bit and you realize it's not a catastrophic injury at the time. When I realized it wasn't, I wasn't going to come out.
