Won Quotations | Page 7

One at a time, ... Let's not put any more merit in it other than we won two days ago, we won yesterday and we were fortunate to win today. We're going to have our hands full again tomorrow.

One-and-7 obviously isn't the way you want to start. But the (Dodgers) team I managed last year started 12-2 and we won 71 games. So it's not a large enough sample size of games. It doesn't mean this is the kind of team we're going to be for the next six months.

One (honor) that pleased me particularly was when I was nominated and won the Top 10 Percent Teacher of the Year for Pigeon Forge High School. I appreciated that honor. A lot of kids forget that you're even their teacher and in your class.

Obviously, we won the right one. We wanted to win both, but if we had to pick one, this would be the one we'd pick.

Obviously we've won a lot of games over the years. But those things don't matter, what matters is now. They've won two games (against us) and they're a little bit better team than we are right now.

Obviously, you want to beat a cross-town team. But (what's more important) is that we're still in the hunt for the conference championship. If we'd of gotten beat tonight, there would have been no way we could have won our conference.

O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory? Where, indeed? Many a badly stung survivor, faced with the aftermath of some relative's funeral, has ruefully conceded that the victory has been won hands down by the funeral establishment . . .

Of course it's always a little bit strange playing a guy who you just played with in the Davis Cup -- we won together an Olympic medal, and played last year's Davis Cup. But when you are professionals you know in this type of game and this level we can meet all the time.

No one really won in this constitution. It left almost everything vague. Everyone played to a tie but we don't know how the ties are going to be resolved.

No one on our team has ever gone to the NCAA Tournament. No one on our team has had a chance to say they've won a Sunshine State Conference Championship. Those are two major things I would love to have on my resume.

One year ago I won my first World Cup here and until now that was the most important moment of my life.

My daughter told me, 'You finally won me a trophy'.

My daughter didn't drink. She was not a run-around. Bingo was her thing, and she had won twice on the cruise already. She wanted to win the big prize.

My dad played here in the '50s, I spent a lot of time in this area, my grandparents lived here, I played for the (Minnesota) North Stars for a short time and my dad won a Stanley Cup in this state. It's a place I'm very familiar with and that's why playing against Minnesota in Minneapolis makes the afternoon very special.

Monday's game means nothing if we hadn't won tonight. There were a lot of emotions coming out of the ceremony, but when it was time to play, everyone was ready to go.

My goal is to win a conference championship. I've been here for four years and we have won no titles. I hope this year is going to be good, like in a movie where there is a happy ending.

My heart was pounding. I knew if I won I would have the lead, ... and not just a lead, but a good lead.

My hat's off to Mark Martin, ... He almost won this race. It was only the tires that beat him; he had the best car.

My father told me not to be nervous on the centre court for the first time but it didn't work. Eventually I was just happy that I won one game. But I don't think I have ever won a match from such a bad start as that before.

No one won in the past market environment. A lot of people will be changing chairs.

No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country.

No players on this team have ever won a playoff game, ... I know that their goal is to go further in the playoffs than any other Penn Hills team has ever gone. The seniors can say that they've made the playoffs. They can say that they've won a section championship. But none of them can say that they've advanced in the playoffs. I think that is their biggest goal this year.

No other team has done it before, and it would be a great accomplishment for Huntington High. Before this year, no Huntington team had ever won back-to-back titles.

Now that we won our first state title, we'll always be remembered. Our fan support, we kind of grew it at the school. Now down the hallways people say 'Hi' even though I don't know them. It's more comforting to know there's a little more school spirit. My freshman year when we were horrible, I wouldn't want to go to the basketball games, either. It's more fun now.

Now that we're getting drafted, we see what kind of talent we had. We should've won more games with all that talent.

NSW will also be strong but you can't discount the other teams. NSW and Tasmania won the two competitions last year and nobody would have picked them at the start of the season.

Nederland is always such a sound and solid football team. Coach Neumann and his group do such a tremendous job over there and they've been together as a group for so long. I think they've been to the playoffs 10 straight years or so. They always have some good-looking kids. They look the same as they did in 1981. They have big kids that work hard year around. They look like they're just cut from a different mold. They just seem to reload every year with the tremendous depth they have. Another key to their success is that they don't turn over the football. They've won a lot of games over the years doing that.

Near the turn of the century, the destitute of Europe sprang on the city with tenacious claws and an honest and solid dream. The city devoured them. They swelled its belly until it burst into a thousand furnaces and sewing machines, a thousand butcher shops and bakers' ovens, a thousand churches and hospitals and funeral parlors and money lenders. The city grew. It nourished itself and offered each man a partnership limited only by his talent, his guile and his willingness and capacity for hard work. For the immigrants of Europe, a dream dared and won true.

Neither team played defense. A lot of guys scored points and there was a lot of foul shooting and a lot of fouling. If we could have made a couple of stops, we would have won the game.

Naturally, I'm pleased with my season in many different ways and especially because I've played less tournaments and still won so much,

Obviously, this team doesn't know how to win. They haven't won too many in the last couple years, so they were getting excited, and they stopped playing.

Obviously Indiana is a big basketball state and one of the most important sports in our county. It will be hard to put last week behind us because we are so excited and it has been a long time since we won a sectional. We have five days to prepare. I think we will definitely get the job done.

Obviously, it works for them. They're great at it. They've won championships playing like that and they have the best record in the league.

Obviously, it's tough playing that many games on the road. It helps that we won the first three games. It gives us confidence for the long stretch.

Obviously, during the lockout year I had time to think about things. I felt I really didn't have anything to prove. I'd won three Stanley Cups. Life's too short, and I felt it was time to do some of the things I really want to do.

Nobody talked about (New England quarterback) Tom Brady before he won a championship. Everybody's gonna be growing beards all across America if we keep winning football games.

No. Hey, we won last week. I'd be good if we go 15-1 and I have no sacks. I would be perfectly fine.

Nothing about this process has been fair, nothing about this process has been bipartisan, and nothing about this process has won the confidence of the American people.

No, they had most of their guys before they won the national championship.

Right now it really looks close between the three of us. I guess Memorial would be the favorite, seeing they won it last year. I think this is going to be extremely close. Every point is going to count. It's going to be a nickel-and-dime meet. The team that can get the most points at the bottom will probably win it.

Right now, I could care less about New Hampshire. It's Bristol, California and Richmond -- that's it. We're going to bring the best stuff we've got these last three races starting with this weekend we're bringing back the car we won the pole and finished second with in the spring. It's hard to say whether you want to be going to Bristol with the situation we're in right now. It's a place where you're forced into a lot of situations that you don't necessarily want to be in. There's absolutely no give and take and anything can happen there so it's a well earned top-five if you can get one.

Right now everything needs to be pretty perfect for us to win a game, ... Last year, early on we won some games that we probably shouldn't have won and won in different ways. Right now, we're building a different makeup for this team.

Right now I'm really not thinking about it all. It's great to break a record, but it's definitely not on my mind right now. Obviously, if we had won the game, breaking the record would have been a lot better.

Right now, Brad is the starter and I'm the backup, and I need to be a sponge and learn as much as I can from him. For myself, I think this is the best move of my career, to see how Brad does things. He's 38, and he's been in this league and won a Super Bowl. It's a great opportunity to be here.

Ricky and I talked about it and designed a shop and put our offices in there. We got Brian Whitesell, who was the architect, really, of the 24 and 48 coming together and made him team manager. When we put the two teams together 5 and 25, we promised him a bonus when they won their first race.

Rice's pitching staff fell apart the year after they won the national championship. You just don't know until the season starts.

Peyton never won a national championship but Humphrey is going to win one this weekend.

Pluralism has won today. I believe these elections represent a significant step forward in the process of democratization and pluralization of Bosnia.

Politicians do not have grassroots activities in Italy. They need the media and a lot will be won or lost on their ability to use the media. And if Berlusconi has one virtue, he is a better communicator than his opponents.

Potential is great. But when you can throw it down there on the (Daily Racing) Form and you can read it, it's impressive. He's won seven (actually six) in a row and a million dollars. That about covers everything.

Possessions are also really key. Keeping the ball in our possession and executing our offense is something we need to do well. We've been a good team all season long of taking care of the basketball. I think there's been 10 or 12 games where we've been under eight turnovers. Those two things are the keys for any one of the teams in the tournament. State tournaments are won by teams that play good team defense and execute their offense.

Points are important toward the championship, but it would be nice to win this one. All of the guys would be really happy if we were able to draw the car across the line first. It would be a great achievement. This is the only race track in North America where we've raced and haven't won on.

(Plymouth) is a very good basketball team. They won 16 games in a good conference.

Personally, this was the only thing I haven't won and winning an Olympic gold would be a good way to wrap up my career,

My swim was sort of mediocre, but I think it was made up by a fantastic ride by Neil and an even better run by Simone, who has been unwell, and she has bounced back. We are very happy to have won two events in a row.

My swim was fantastic. It's always refreshing after you get pushed in after a meet like that. I told the guys that they couldn't touch me unless we won the meet. So I don't know if they really wanted the trophy or if they just wanted to push me in.

My uncle had been a basketball player in his day. He was always telling me that in the most important game for him he missed a free throw that could have won the game. He told me he felt bad about it. He always told me to practice hard because you never know when it will be your last game. You never know when the game can be taken from you. When we lost to IMS, I felt like I let him down.

On her first throw, she threw over 140 feet. It was a throw that could have won the whole thing, and then I saw the red flag go up. She scratched on the third throw, and I think that kind of rattled her.

One thing I'll say here. I'm not going to waste my time talking about negative things. We won a ballgame 9-8. I'm not here to start beating on people, especially the people that, if we expect to win, are going to get us there.

Nicki has won a beautiful and very prestigious stage and he has every reason to be proud of himself. Steadily he has improved his form during this race and it's really something to be able to ride this fast in the third and last week of the Vuelta. Right now Carlos Sastre is almost certain of his spot on the final podium, and winning a stage on top of this is just icing on the cake for the whole team.

Nick had a tremendous 200 and 400. He won them both with some real decent times.

Next year's team hasn't won a game. There's not going to be another Vince Young. We can win football games at Texas because we won them before Vince got here, and we'll win them afterwards.

Nimbus won the bid from among eight bidders.

Nobody can take away what our class was able to accomplish. I don't think there will ever be a group of seniors like this class. We won 85 games in a row. I don't think we would have ever done that.

Nobody knows for sure, but I don't know of another school that won a state football title in only its fourth season. The kids worked extremely hard and they will be able to come back and have a permanent reminder that hard work pays off.

Nobody knew, of course. But they remembered who won the national championship.

New York has been the springboard from which the last two successful Democratic candidates for president won the White House, ... There is no doubt in my mind that New York's good fortune can launch a Democrat into the White House for the third time in 30 years.

On paper it's unlikely we should beat them, but they haven't won the meet yet.

On the face of it, China has won the Olympics. But it is not China that has won, but the Communist party. The Chinese people have lost.

One of the biggest things to stop is momentum. There are always teams that can get on a roll. Some people say that if you have won 15 games in a row, it's good to take a loss into the (NCAA) tournament. Other people say that if you lose a game, your confidence level is lower, that you are not going into the tournament playing your best. I always say that just because you lose, you can still play well. You can get beat by a better team.

One of the goals we always set is to improve from the beginning of the season to the end. Lawrence Central softball has never won a sectional title, so that's one of our goals.

One of the highlights for me has to be at the beginning with Balanchine who really got us going when she won the Oaks and the Irish Derby.

I was going to run in the primary, whether I won or not (tonight). I truly have a good group of people helping me.

I was fortunate to be there when McEnroe won the (singles) title here in 1989 and it would be fun to have that energy back here in Indianapolis.

I was at the game four years ago. I was in eighth grade, and that was just an amazing moment. I saw how they felt when they won it. I knew I wanted that same thing.

I was so tired. I had a lot of competition, I won the summer and winter world championships, I set new world records, and I tried to do my best today, but I couldn't,

I was real pleased that we won this match especially since we had to forfeit two matches. This was a great experience for our guys.

I was really worried about this game, obviously, playing a team that has not won yet, ... I knew they were going to come out and play hard. They gave a great effort and the longer you let them stay around, hang around, the more confidence builds, the more opportunity they have to win.

I was talking to some guys on the sideline and I said, 'We just won 49-24 and we're upset about the way we played,'

I was surprised when I saw them in the tournament. I didn't follow them closely after we played them. But when I looked at their record and saw they won 24 games, it makes sense.

I was surprised to see that. I didn't expect him to follow me to both sides of the field. I said, 'Oh man, I've got my work cut out for me today.' He's one of the best there is. We had a good battle. I won some, and he won some.

I was satisfied when I won one, I felt I should have won the other,

I was riding at Calder, but they said I couldn't ride there because I was 16 years old. So when I turned 17 I went to Belmont. I have won 26 lifetime races counting this.

I was somewhat concerned that we wouldn't race as well as we have been, because it's Michigan. But after we won that first relay, we started to believe that we could maybe win this meet.

I was so mad that we lost the game. I kind of went into a depression and didn't shave and we ended up winning the next game. And I am kind of superstitious - just a little bit to people who know me - but we won that game and I said I am just going to keep it going until we lose and we kept it going. I don't really like the beard you know. But we were winning so I had to keep it going.

I was skating for 10 days, so I felt good out there. The biggest thing is we won the game.

I was sitting in the dugout thinking earlier in the game that it would be a little bizarre if we would've won 2-1 again. I'll take a 2-1 win any night, but I sure do love those 6-1 wins a little bit better. You can breathe a little bit easier.

I wouldn't say there's an imbalance. We have to remember that, yes, Ian is a big celebrity and he does get a lot of attention from the press, but he has broken 22 world records, won five Olympic gold medals and as many world championship gold medals. I think any attention he has gotten, he deserves.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if somebody (seeded) 4 through 9 stepped up and won this tournament.

I wouldn't have gotten any sleep if we hadn't won that game.

I wouldn't have even known that if you didn't just tell me. It feels like we might have won one game on this entire road trip.

I would say if you're ranked No. 1, you better be really good, because it takes on a life of its own. Everyone complained that we had the best recruiting class in country but we only won 10 games. I said, 'Yeah, I know, we were terrible.' Chris Simms finished as the school's all-time passing leader, Cory Redding starts for Detroit, and some people think that class wasn't a success.

I would rather have won this race than be president of the United States

I would rather go in with high expectations than no expectations, but that's just what they are -- expectations. This team hasn't won a game.

I would have liked to have won it before the 12th. But I'll take it.

I would have liked to have seen them play better, to be honest. The first-team defensive line won that battle, and they've done that their share of the time.

I wish we'd have won one or two more ballgames, especially in the last year, ... I never really had a year, even though the record wasn't always real good, I never had a year where I just felt like it wasn't an enjoyable effort.

I wish we could have won the game. That's a great milestone, but I wish he could have gotten it in a loss to us.

I wish we could have made our shots early. But our defense early was the difference. Our defense won the game for us.

I would have been thrilled to play alongside Rui Costa at Madrid. I am sure he will win things with Milan. I just wish he could have won things with Madrid, instead.
