Tougher Quotations | Page 2

If we continue to see sharp hikes in yields, then stocks will face tougher competition from bonds. But if bond yields can stabilize here, or just move up modestly, stocks can tough it out.

I disagree with the use of the word "Pussy" to describe a weak person. Because the Vagina is the tougher of the two genitals. Think about it. It can pass something 50 times it's size through it. You can pound on it for hours and it goes "More! More!" It Bleeds every month and it Won't Die! It's like the Predator! Meanwhile my Penis.. If it gets cold or there's a fight he's like "I'm outta here!" What I'm trying to say is... My Dick is a Pussy.

I believe we'll be one of the top teams in the league. Some people have us seventh or eighth. One picked us last. I don't think that guy knew what he was talking about. The Atlantic Sun is a much tougher league than other people realize.

I am totally ready for this legislation to be tougher and harder still.

Chris is ranked No. 1 in the WPIAL and the PIAA, so I'm expecting him to make it to Hershey. It will be a little tougher for Rick to make it to states.

I have always said that the second year was going to be tougher than the first. You cannot jump from top-40 to top-20 in two months.

I had said it would be a big disappointment if the team didn't make the playoffs. I'm not sure that we have enough guys that are hungry enough to want to be in the playoffs. The toughness to be able to get there sometimes doesn't show up. I take responsibility for that. That's my job to make them tougher or whatever it takes for them to be able to play.

I feel like we have a good schedule. It's a tough schedule, maybe one of the toughest in the country, but that's what we wanted. We are working to set a standard for our players and you do that by playing the best teams out there. It also helps the conference out. The tougher our schedule, the better we will look in the RPI and that helps the Atlantic Sun.

I feel like I'm mentally tougher out there,

I feel sure we are going to win either the league or the Champions League. We are a much tougher team that we were at the start of the season and a lot more dangerous.

I did everything but get down on my knees, ... I know I was at boiling point. It wasn't just about Mario. It was about so many young people ? and the laws becoming tougher and more mean-spirited.

I can't imagine Walton going through a year without playing Delhi, ... I was comparing our schedule to last year and I think our schedule is tougher this year and we're D. ... That's one thing when we decided to go D, I asked (Delhi coach and Section Four coordinator) Dave Kelly if we could still play Sidney, Unatego and Delhi, and he said they could arrange it.

If Oracle, when it came to crunch time in February, had a tough time getting new business, then companies whose crunch time is this week will have a tougher time still.

From my standpoint I don't think it's credible. It is a lot of smoke, a lot of hot air. But were it to go forward, I think they would find it a lot tougher to operate than anyone thinks.

If a knife is plunged into someone's sternum, you pay attention. But for shows that don't depend on violence or melodramatic scenes, it's tougher to compete in a six-act show than in four acts, or in 41 minutes instead of 45 minutes.

I expect Jason to come into Kansas State and have a very, very good freshman season. I think he is going to have the opportunity to contribute immediately. I think he can average between 30-32 minutes per game and double figures in both points and rebounds. I think he will be a great fit for a physical conference in the Big 12 because he is a very physical player. He is only going to get stronger, tougher and better as a player under coach Huggins' guidance.

I expected it to be tougher against her.

I don't think it's weird. I think Ray and Jake handle that situation well. I think it was more important for Ray to win last year, because he had lost in the final the year before. I haven't heard him say a lot about it, but I'm sure he'd like to repeat. I think it's more important for him to play well and have the best season he can have overall. It's probably tougher to play against a friend, but it's something they have to do.

For us to be able to string seven (victories) together when things didn't look so good says a lot about the kind of people we have. I've never seen a tougher team.

Fortuna always plays us tough here. For whatever reason, they're tougher than nails here and tonight was no exception. Fortuna's a quick team and they have some strong players but our guys knew our position in conference right now and they really stepped up.

Goalies that like to react to pucks won't have a problem. Those goalies that block shots instead of stopping shots, will find it's going to be a little tougher for them, especially in close.

If it didn't have Gillette, Procter & Gamble would be in a tougher spot.

I go into every tournament expecting to win. It was a little tougher here with the cross country travel, but I try to block all that out and just keep my mind and body at an even keel.

If the election were held today, it would be a much tougher election.

He had to be a little bit tougher and finish. He got some good, tight catches in the second half where he didn't finish.

He had a couple of long carries where he broke loose. He's beginning to come into his own. He runs hard and he'll run around guys or into guys or whatever he has to do. He's getting tougher every game.

He finds his groove -- finds his rhythm a little bit. Naturally, when a guy's struggling, he starts pressing. He's probably coming out of the gates trying a little too hard. Sometimes the harder you try, the tougher it gets.

He makes our team much tougher to play against and he knows what it takes to win.

We try to look at games each week and not look at the big picture, but this is one of the tougher teams we're going to play.

We've been through a lot tougher situations than this in our past. We will get it done.

We're on spring break and are missing a couple of seniors because of that. It took us a while to get used to playing without them, and it always seems a little tougher to play when you're not in school that day. ... It definitely took us some time to get going this afternoon.

We've got to get tougher mentally and physically. If you want to play at this level, you have to get tougher.

We talk about coming out stronger, but we just have to go out there and do it. We have to come out tougher and mentally prepared. That's our usual style, but we can't play scared anymore.

We thought with his (Felix's) size, he might be a little tougher to shoot over. He took some pride in that today, and he should. He's a really good defender.

We thought we were pretty good defensively, for the most part, against one of the tougher teams in the Western Conference. We knew we had to be physical.

What you're trying to do is upgrade your guys to the point that they get used to competing against top-level opponents like this. It certainly is a positive thing. Everybody should have his horizon elevated a little and that should make us tougher for what's coming up.

Having said that, I think that in any Davis Cup tie you look to where your most likely points will come from and where your tougher opposition will be. It's a bit like being a football manager. I have to look to where our best chances are and pick my team around it.

He's a great teacher and coach. His players are very well-skilled in fundamentals, and that made them tougher than most of us. Plus, he had talent. Combine that with his coaching, and you have an undefeated (regular) season. He did a remarkable job.

Good hearted, he was happy, but he had been having a little tougher time lately with school.

He's been through tougher things. What he went through a year ago, what happened (against A&M) pales to that.

He's at the point now where rookies are still rookies, but they have a veteran sort of confidence about them, and he should. The other thing he has learned this year is that when he plays well, it's going to be tougher to keep playing well because teams are going to keep getting ready for you.

He's definitely the most tenacious defender we've ever had here. He needs to continue to improve his shooting, but he's tougher than nails.

He's definitely a more featured player. It gets tougher now because everybody knows how important he is as our No. 1 scorer. We have to work harder to get him better shots and he's going to have to work harder to create opportunities for himself, too, because teams are keying on him.

He's going to be tough. He always is. He's been pitching in the conference as long as I have. He can be overpowering at times. I know right now the game is going to be close. I look at it as one of the tougher games I'm going to have throughout the season.

He's been good, ... He's got everything it takes. He's tougher than heck and he's nasty on the football field. He's a nice person off the field, but to be a great player, you've got to have that nasty attitude and he's got it.

He's been doing some more individual workouts, working a little more with me one-on-one, training a little harder, lifting a little harder. It's just that he's wrestling tougher guys this year. ... He's getting better every day. He definitely knows he's capable of winning every time he goes out there.

He's been coming to practice every day with a tougher mentality.

He's done a great job against us. He throws a lot of strikes. I don't think there's anyone that's been any tougher on us.

Hopefully we can use enforcement mechanisms work with the attorney, work with police, community policing, community watches, tougher laws, and hold property owners responsible for who they rent to.

We make ourselves tougher to defend when we move the ball inside out and get more balance like this. This team keeps practicing hard every day, so we hope to play our best here at the end of the season.

We have to be a tougher road team to win this conference. I'm really happy we hung in and beat Air Force. That was a great game, and our experience really carried us to a win, but we have to find a way not to dig a hole for ourselves.

We make it tougher than we needed to. We got away from things we wanted to do.

We made it tougher on ourselves that's for sure. The only way to advance is to play solid defense and get stops, and we did that down the stretch.

We made it tougher on ourselves. Now we have to go on the road and try to win an extra game on the road because of that.

He was fine out there. There are tougher plays to come.

He was a consistent 20 points for us every night. Last year he had 45 in a game. This year was more consistent. He was more complete and made himself a tougher player to guard. He was there every night this year.

He is very pleasant and congenial, but he's tougher than he appears in public. If he had to move someone aside or get rid of someone, he'd do it, even if there were sentimental obstacles and personal relationships. He tends to do what's best for the corporation.

Guys need to start playing with more confidence. We're taking steps to do that in practice today. All you can do is coach and teach and try to get guys through this. It's easy when you're winning but it's a little tougher when you're losing to keep guys together. But we got a pretty good group of guys. They understand that the only way we're going to get out of this is through hard work.

I was like, 'I can't believed I missed that.' It was a one-in-a-million that I'd miss that. That goal could have taken us to OT. I wanted to win this one. I'm so bummed out right now. This one was tougher than our last lost to them. We had our chances, and that's what kills me. We had more chances.

I wouldn't believed it. I don't know of a tougher eight-day stretch, and our guys clearly met the challenge each time out.

I talked to pros like Shaw Grigsby and Roland Martin after John won that year, and they all agreed that it probably was the first time a guy who fished in his first pro tournament ever won over $100,000 at it. I wasn't surprised John won at Mead, though, because he always fishes well there. We always say it's tougher to fish in San Diego tournaments because you end up fishing the clock, people and in such a small area of fish that we're lucky to get our spots. At Mead, unless someone is following you, you get big parts of the lake to yourself.

I think it's a little tougher for the Chrysler Group than they're admitting.

I think it may be tougher this year because there are more nerves from the expectation of winning it. I have more motivation to train harder. I never take anything for granted. I like Vitaly. He's a good kid. I'm glad to see him make it here. He'll be a good opponent to have in the finals.

I think in some ways Tiger has been slightly cheated in his career by not having tougher guys to compete against, like a Trevino, a Raymond Floyd and a Nicklaus. On Sunday, if Tiger went up against those guys, he'd know deep down, 'These guys are going to kick my butt if I don't play my best.' And I don't believe he thinks that way now. He knows if he's playing good, he's got it.

It calms me down seeing E.J. there. But I think it would have made me a little calmer if he had won it at 5-2. But I still felt pretty good with him. We knew this was going to be a close match. Center Grove is loaded, but they were tougher than I thought they were.

It can only get tougher out there when the wind starts blowing and the greens dry out.

I think it's a testament to the athlete the horse is, and the training his trainer has put into him. I just think he's made him aerobically a more flexible, tougher athlete with the regimen he goes through.

I think it's fantastic that the world's greatest marathon runner, the world record holder, has finally got a championship gold medal. No one deserves it more than she does. No one is tougher or harder than Paula and she fully deserves that gold medal. It's been a long time coming but well worth waiting for.

I think it???s clear that there is an obvious difference between colleges football and inter-county football, and Cork will certainly be a far tougher test than what we have met so far, even a good deal tougher than Waterford.

I think it's clear that the banks that are more tied to the retail sector are going to have a much tougher quarter compared to those with diversified positions. The banks in the retail sector have to deal with interest rate compression, loan volume will be tougher, and they don't have the trading or investment banking that are hot now.

I think it's harder at the lower levels, playing a game at 4 o'clock when you haven't even been out of school for an hour yet. It's not so bad on a Friday, but it is much tougher on a Tuesday because you never know if you'll keep that time schedule.

I think the main focus is to get tomorrow's match over. To win the match tomorrow and not be extended physically, and be ready to go for Saturday - we'll expect tougher matches on Saturday.

I thought football players were tougher than that.

I think the feeding frenzy in Perth is over. It's a lot tougher than it was three years ago.

I think the challenge for us is that they are a really balanced offensive team. And that makes it a little tougher to stop when they've got five hitters that all take a decent amount of swings, as well as their setters are pretty accurate - and pretty offensive also.

I think the challenge for us is that they are a really balanced offensive team, ... And that makes it a little tougher to stop when they've got five hitters that all take a decent amount of swings, as well as their setters are pretty accurate - and pretty offensive also.

Last night everything we touched went in the net, and tonight it was tougher to put them in, but you can't make any excuses, we took too many penalties, we weren't skating as much and they took the play to us early on.

I thought the first half Dudley was tougher than us, but I thought the second half we matched his toughness.

I thought this was the most mentally tough we've played down the stretch and I think we learned from the mistakes that we've made throughout the year. ... We were the tougher team down the stretch.

I thought that kick-off would spark us on offense. But that was about the only spark we had all game. We played very badly last week, we've worked on getting tougher this week in practice.

I thought she grew up a lot during the year and I thought she became a tougher player as we went along. I thought she played more controlled as we went along. I thought she shot the ball better as we went along. I thought she defended better as we went along. I just thought she had a nice year.

I think we're better defensively and much more physical. We're a little bit more mature and a little bit more experienced and a little bit more tougher minded.

I think Wendy plays a tougher schedule than I do.

I think we just got outplayed. I think Oklahoma just played better than we did. They certainly displayed the fact that they were a little tougher than we were.

I think we have a good opportunity. I think we can be an exciting company even with those players. This has always been a really tough market, and it's gotten tougher in terms of lower price points. You can't sit back on your heels; you have to go out and earn your business every day.

I think we will (have a tougher new policy). I don't think it will take an extended period of time.

I think we?re tougher than a lot of people give us credit for. They think, ?You?re talented, but you?re not tough. You can?t have both. You?d be too good if you had both.? I think they read too much into that.

I think we've earned what we got. To take away that advantage wouldn't be fair. If it was the other way around, I'm sure the Yankees or the Angels would feel the same way we do. It's just part of the road, you have to take to get where you have to go. Sometimes it's a little tougher for some than for others.

I think it takes some of the luster off the regular season championship. Now, it doesn't carry as much weight as it used to. Some years, there are breaks in the schedule. Some years are tougher than normal. It's not conducive to having a regular season champion.

It gets tougher every year. I feel like I have the individual's future in the palm of my hand, and I just don't feel comfortable with that kind of power.

It has been a tough few years for Dale, but he has worked extremely hard. We'll ease him back in a bit, but the one thing he will provide immediately is some leadership, and the more of that you have, the better you are. And he's got an edge to his game, so his presence will make us a much tougher team and a more difficult team to play against physically.

It has a dramatic impact on the teams. It was definitely tougher on the teams than a lot of other seasons. That has to do with the fact that we got the message from viewers that they wanted an international flavor. They wanted more exotic locations, more adventure, push the people more.

I think this (setback) will make us a tougher team.

I think we can make it tougher on him out there, make him skate a little more. He's going to make plays out there. We can get on him quicker, not give him that time with the puck.

I think that it's going to be like that, single-file. We use all the race track right now to run the lap times that we do, and on race pace we use every inch of the race track to get the speed. ... It was easier to run side-by-side because you didn't need that extra track. Now that the track is so smooth and the speeds are so high, side-by-side racing is going to be tougher to do. And we just won't see as much of it.

It is important to experience everything that you might see in the playoffs. But having said that, we have to make sure that we don't assume anything...And if we play the way we did tonight, it's going to be a tougher road ahead of us than we think.

I think we're in for much harder and much tougher contract (talks) than we've ever had before.

Last year I think the situation we were in was a lot tougher task than the situation we're in right now, because we were down to three outs, and had to win four straight games,

Last year I got a little tired and if I'd get in a slump it was tougher to get out. This year, it's easier.

Lauren brings a ton of experience to the field. She seems to be mentally tougher than she was last year. It was her first season carrying the workload last year, and she's ready to resume that roll once again.
