Thomas Quotations | Page 3

We expect Brittney Thomas to hit the 3-point shot; she is a good shooter. She provided us with a spark off the bench and defensive intensity.

We are of course sorry for Thomas because he made a great comeback in November but he pulled a thigh muscle on Saturday in the Heineken Cup match against Biarritz. We talked to him this morning and he told us he should be fit again in two weeks.

Brian is the leader of the No. 1 defense in the league. You can go either way, and I'm sure Brian would say Thomas Jones, but he's right at the top.

Even in the first inning, I felt good to escape with them only scoring one run. Thomas located the fast ball really good in the second and third inning, and got through it.

Between the time I was 16 until I was about 20, the books I read were by people like Thomas Mann, James Baldwin, Thom Gunn, Elizabeth Bishop. All gay, of course, although I swear I didn't know that at the time. Yet all of them, it turned out, had had a parent who died during their childhood. Sexuality is nothing compared to that.

Bill Thomas turned his backs on America's working people to go home and raise money.

As soon as I landed the job I went over to Wales to Laugharne, the little town where Thomas spent his last years. I went into the house where he and Caitlin lived and saw the little shed where he did much of his finest work. I also saw the pub where he spent so much of his life, and I bought a copy of Under Milk Wood and started learning my lines,

As Thomas Friedman points out in his bestseller 'The World is Flat,' broad changes in global education, technology, world economies and markets and communication have made the world's citizens more dependent on each other than any other time in history. The south Montgomery County area similarly is impacted by what occurs around the world.

At the decisive Boston town meeting of Nov. 29, 1773, while ships loaded with cargo from the East India Company idled in the harbor, Thomas Young was the first and only speaker to propose that the best way to protest the new Tea Act was to dump the tea into the water.

Don't use your advance to buy an antique sports car, diamonds by the yard, or a bottle of wine from Thomas Jefferson's cellar instead of investing in your book.

Cyndi and Jenny have been extremely solid, and they've been catalysts for us. And Whitney Thomas has shown good savvy. She's done a superb job, particularly with her rebounding.

And though my brother Sir Thomas Lucas died not immediately of his wounds, yet a wound he received on his head in Ireland shortened his life.

Dr. Thomas knew I made the right decision by avoiding surgery. Everything is going like we planned. But I had to work hard and that's what I have been doing.

Even if he is more likely to be a Rehnquist than a Thomas, the downside of him being a Thomas outweighed the upside of him being a Rehnquist,

There's still some concern of where we're going to be a year from now with the third shift and there's also a concern with what's going to happen in St. Thomas and also what's going to happen in Windsor.

There's not this pressure on them of seeing Larry Bird or Isiah Thomas or Jerry West circle the court like was the case last year. The impact they're going to have is now going to be in the college game.

I sort of half read Thomas Hardy's 'The Mayor of Casterbridge.' It was assigned in 10th grade, and I just couldn't get into it. About seven years later, I rediscovered Hardy and consumed four of his novels in a row.

I've been riding for a very long time, since I was five. I came here when I was eight or nine. When I came here there were some older girls here, and I saw them practicing with these jackets on. I always wanted one. When I was nine, Mrs. Thomas asked me if I wanted to be alternate for the team.

I've been identified with James Bond or Thomas Crown for so long; suave, elegant, sophisticated men in suits. it's like you've been giving the same performance for 20 years.

The rules dealing with gifts don't apply to Justice Thomas because the rules only apply to lower court judges. People give gifts to judges and justices because they have power. And they have power because of their position that they hold in trust. And to suggest that it doesn't matter, no one will care, seems to me to be whistling in the dark.

The Roe v. Wade issue is a big issue, because Justice (Clarence) Thomas said he'd never even discussed it with anybody, and then, like the minute he got on the court, he made it clear that he wanted to repeal it, ... This Week.

It was an unbelievable match. I call Thomas 'The Saint,' and today he was canonized.

The Thomas kid is doing it for them lately.

Sonya Thomas put on one of the great athletic performances of the year. It was a triumph on par with the great feats witnessed in Athens just weeks ago, and it's going to take an extraordinary effort for her record to be broken.

Team leader, he's done everything we have asked him to do. Thomas is our guy.

Right now we're rolling guys through (the secondary) and counting on Terrell Thomas to come back at full speed, but the other guys are battling. We have to see who's going to be most productive.

People say that we can defend the Uber Cup while it's a bit tough for our men's team to defend the Thomas Cup. But we, the Chinese women, just do our best. We have our matches once in two days. I must be careful not to get an injury.

After losing to Thomas More in our last game, this is a big win for us. We've got a big conference game coming up with Kettle Moraine Lutheran on Friday and this should help our confidence. We didn't want a two-game losing streak going into the KML game.

Some day somebody is going to play a better game than us and beat us. Last year we were 21-0 before St. Thomas beat us. Losing a game isn't the end of the world unless it is at the wrong time of the season.

Once you get in company with Walter Payton that's saying quite a bit. (It was) an outstanding year by Thomas and our offensive line to get that for him. I think we established that through the course of the regular season we are a good running football team and can run the football on just about anybody we play.

Now I am building up for the Thomas Cup.

Defensively that was a key for us, because you saw the game (Aldridge) had the night before last. And we knew if he did that against us, we had no chance to win the game. So you've got to compliment Glen specifically and Tyrus Thomas as an assist in the way we defended him today.

Coach (Jim) Thomas does a great job of teaching game. When his players get to this level, I feel they're a step ahead in baseball knowledge.

Animal Science is our largest undergraduate department. They have a new chair, Dr. Thomas McFadden, who will continue to build their excellent undergraduate programs in general animal science, pre-veterinary science, equine science and dairy production.

The bottom line is that Thomas came up with some good saves. It's a tough loss, but there's still plenty of games left. At the same time, games like this can come back to haunt you in the end.

This is about the fourth game in a row where Thomas has pulled down a double-double or close to one.

This guy's skill level and ability is undeniable. Frank Thomas is a presence.

They did the whole Derrick Thomas tribute and had the airplanes flying over the stadium,

They didn't have Ashley Thomas and we didn't have three kids who just came from football. We're both much different teams than we were at that point.

They are both solid runners. I don't know if Porter will play against us or not, but Thomas is a good back, too.

There was certainly a question when Judge Thomas was nominated. He hadn't written a lot of legal opinions. But people chose not to take on Thomas on those grounds.

This is the time of year you'd like to be gearing up for the postseason, and we're not really wrestling very well right now. We went up to Toledo Waite (Jan. 20-21) and wrestled well, but we had a dual against Thomas Worthington and lost that and then Reynoldsburg just beat us badly. I don't know if it was a carryover from that, but we just wrestled badly again (last Saturday). Hopefully we can do better (against North).

Aaron, that was remarkable! It was like David Clayton Thomas singing Burton Cummings. That was wild! I appreciated the control that you had in the higher register. I never heard you hit notes like that before. Excellent job.

The more threes they made, the more reluctant we were to play the post with a big-to-big double (team). We couldn't double with a guard. Every one of those threes were like daggers. They allowed Lewis and Thomas to do what they wanted.

Academy, Upper Arlington and Thomas Worthington all look really strong again, so it's going to be a battle once we make it to the tournament. We need to build team unity and make sure we're a good, solid unit by that time.

It's a touching tribute. We're going to miss Thomas dearly.

It was a really hard decision for me -- it wasn't something that was easy -- but Thomas has been a little bit sick and I have to look after him first.

It was intense at the start. We wanted to make sure that the events of last week were not forgotten, and that we were playing for Thomas tonight.

It was important to get a lead on them at the start of the game because St. Thomas More is a very patient team on offense. They use a lot of the clock and we didn't want to fall behind them.

I told Thomas to take some of the velocity of the ball, and he started throwing strikes. His form was a little bit off. But he'll be alright. He just needs more reps in practice.

For me as the actor that was about to step onto the stage, carrying the baggage that I do of Remington Steele or Thomas Crown or Bond, I think this was a wonderful way of deconstructing all of that, playing with it and turning it on its ear.

It's like a golf tournament where a bunch of guys are 10 handicappers and a few guys are zero handicappers. Thomas is a zero handicapper.

It should be a great ball game between the two programs, ... I grew up on Alabama football and have always wanted the chance to play against them. All of my early life was centered around the teams of Frank Thomas and Bear Bryant. I know their history well.

It's been awhile since the Supreme Court had any new members, ... And one thing we've seen is that when the Court gets a new member, no matter what that member's views are, it sometimes tends to change the dynamics. When Justice Thomas came on the Court, Justice Souter started voting differently.

It surprised me, I started laughing, ... Thomas Bjorn thought that was kind of funny. I was looking down the fairway and just kind of tinged the ball with the toe of my club. I did that one time at the Bob Hope Classic and hit it 60 yards. Almost killed about six old people on the right at Bermuda Dunes.

Desiree really stepped up, provided energy and we all fed off it. Thomas really fed off her.

Does it concern me? Before every game I'm concerned about stuff like that. We've got a very good group of smart players. Jai Lewis and Will Thomas especially are very intelligent.

Doing 'Veronica Mars,' Rob Thomas is a genius. He's one of my best friends. I had this feeling like I couldn't write anything other than my stuff in Jersey and what we were talking about, like that little world, like if I can throw my Aunt Janice into it, I'm cool, but otherwise I'm screwed.

Even with all of the players that they have lost, they still have a great team. Kenny Thomas stepped it up and knocked down the key shots. We knew that they have capable players, and by no means did we take them for granted.

That kind of bothered me, ... but I knew we could stop them with Big (Denzel) Sneed and Thomas Williams on the line, and we had good fan support that helped a lot, too.

Everyone feels Frank will come back and be the Frank Thomas we've seen for many years,

Target is proud to be a returning sponsor of the 'Night Before' supporting the Motion Picture & Television Fund. We are thrilled to be part of this exciting evening, and we hope everyone will enjoy our custom-designed gifts from Thomas O'Brien.

St. Thomas More is one of the premier programs in the state, and we're going to have to bring our 'A' game to stay on the field with them. It's going to be a crazy, insane game.

St. Thomas More has a great defensive team. They pressure the ball so well and they really get into the passing lanes.

St. Thomas made a great adjustment in the spacing of their offense at the start of the second half. But I was really proud of our kids, because they recognized what was happening, and they made exactly the defensive adjustments they needed to make.

It's an exciting time. It's been a decade since Thomas More has been in a conference. It's a great conference, very competitive. I think it's a great fit. We're excited about the opportunity to face some of the top teams in the country.

It was my intent for him to be here, and Thomas was on board with that. But because this hasn't been settled yet legally, we'll wait until that takes place. His not being here is not his doing at this time. It's mine.

I've known them for years. It's like a homecoming for me going back to the SWAC. It gives me a little insight because I had gone against Coach Thomas when he was at Pine Bluff and Valley. When I was at Jackson State, he was at Alcorn. Coach McKenzie, going up against him the last couple of years, I've got a pretty good idea of what to expect from them and the players they're playing with.

It was a gutsy move to bring Thomas back with six minutes left in the game. Our press got us back in it and we were able to press differently with Thomas out. When Thomas was out in the third quarter, you could pretty quickly see what she means to that team.

The two that jump out to me are Jason Morton's offensive rebounding work and Thomas Sander's offensive rebounding work.

The two of them are winners. Thomas feeds off of Big Baby's attention so much. Thomas gets all the junk, cleans everything up.

The vote shows that a strong, unapologetic, judicial conservative in the mold of Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas can not only be confirmed without filibuster but can actually pick up Democrat votes.

They've got Duke, McLean and Thomas going and then the guys around them don't make many mistakes. When they've got it going, I don't think that anyone can stop them.

These people are bigger than big. They've got two kids that are over 300 (Jesse Thomas and 6-foot-4, 315-pound Mitchell Williams) that are on the right side of their line. The guard on the other side (Jonathan Rivera) is 260.

Nothing manifests more persuasively the American contradiction than that the author of the Declaration of Independence, a slave owner, wrote an antislavery clause into the document - as if to compel himself to be better than he was - which then had to be edited out so the Southern states, including Thomas Jefferson's own, would sign it.

Not too far from Washington, D.C., or Monticello, the manicured, Thomas Jefferson-designed University of Virginia is located on one of the most gorgeous campuses and towns around,

Sloan Thomas had two catches (in the win over the Raiders) that were as good as you will see, ... But there's four guys for one spot, and they need (a backup) to do well on special tams. That isn't where he shone. But he can play.

Evidence shows that if she was in the house, then she would have to be aware of what was happening. Thomas and Bryant presented themselves as being married on several occasions. She had several personal items and clothing in the house.

I'm not playing but I know Thomas is going to see a lot more shots. The Czechs like to pass the puck until they get a quality scoring chance while Canada is a traditional North American team that likes to get the puck on net and crash the net.

I'm going to make Tim Thomas come here. So it doesn't matter. Only kidding.

I met 92-year-old Isabelle Thomas in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She has fought four different types of cancer and just refuses to give up. She is just one of the dozens of reasons why I'm walking.

I hope to be around a while, bring good things and get people in here to see the Lady Rangers. All the other schools better watch out because Schumacher and Thomas are coming to town.

I'm a big Steve Nash fan, have been since he's been in the league. I wanted to play with AmarŽ (Stoudemire) and Jimmy (Jackson, a Miami teammate). It was the fit and the opportunity to be alongside Kurt Thomas and AmarŽ. They made a great run, especially during the regular season. It definitely helped to have a great chance of getting out of the West and making a championship run.

In January 1776, Thomas Paine issued 'Common Sense,' advocating independence from Great Britain.

I know Thomas is a good player. It doesn't feel right for me, but that's how it goes. It's the nature of the game.

I like playing St. Thomas - they?re good. We like playing tough teams, and we were fortunate. I think the turning point was us scoring five goals at the end of the first half and beginning of the second. It gave us a little bit of breathing room.

I moved out to L.A. to be a filmmaker or director. I didn't even think about doing comedy or even acting. I wanted to be like Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson, but I wasn't going to a lot of comedy.

I'm so proud of my teammates. Isaiah Thomas is a great player and nobody is going to stop him, but that wasn't our goal. We wanted the win, and we got it.

I need to get more confidence in my bench players. (Michael Alvarez) is a great set-shooter, but he's still got to work on some of his ball-handling skills, and we're trying to get Ed Thomas and Derek Bond in in crucial spots.

I never go to Vancouver without stopping by Thomas Haas' shop for the best chocolate in North America. A former chef patissier at Daniel, he returned to his hometown and created a top quality brand by sticking to his passion.

If you bring in a lefty to face Eric (a left-handed hitter), and then he has to face Frank Thomas right behind him. It's certainly going to lend itself to a lot of thinking in the other dugout.

In the last six weeks, Bill Thomas' Kern County has just gotten way more than it deserves, and I know that Thomas has just enormous clout, ... all the rules are twisted again to benefit Kern County.

In the event that Tim Thomas clears waivers, I hope to work something out with Phoenix.

I hope a lot of good will come out of it, but it's hard to see that now. We're all going to be thinking about Thomas when we're here in the locker room or when we go out to practice. He'll be with us.

In time, all of them will contribute. As (it) happens, Cedric is behind Thomas Jones, who is having an outstanding year.

In the second match, Thomas was challenged by our staff to get blocks and she got eight in the second match. She just went off. The way she was running around, going after it, she's not bad for a walk-on.

If you watched Justin Gage and watched how he blocked (last Sunday), several of those big runs Thomas (Jones) had, he's (Gage) on the edge doing what he does, being a tremendous blocker.

Clearly, in the wake of today's announcement, the long-run future of the St. Thomas assembly plant is in jeopardy.

Citizens of this city voted to build on a neutral site. ... That didn't mean putting it back on the Thomas Jefferson site.

Candidate Thomas is a sad, sad man, with only one desire: to reunite with his deceased ex-girlfriend.
