Clock Quotations | Page 6

The functioning of this clock was probably known to a very small group of people.

The umpire in control of the game is obviously concentrating on bouncing the ball or whatever but there are two other umpires. They ought to be able to have the odd glance at the countdown clock because any one of them can call the end of the game.

The end game is to sell out but they may want to do it at a higher valuation. The clock is sort of ticking on them but the company isn't feeling pressured to do something.

The magnitude of this storm is tremendous. We have 1,062 crews in the field. We're working around the clock to restore power.

A lot of times it will be that way. You will see the clock down to 12 or 13 because we are trying to see what they are coming out with defensively and what type of adjustments they have made.

The first quarter our strategy was to take 30 seconds off the clock every time we had it and to control the tempo. For most of the first quarter it was 8-4 and it could've been tied. They made the adjustments they needed to, and we were in trouble.

The first half was our half. The second half was their half. Fortunately for us, we had the lead and it allowed us to use a lot of clock up in the second half.

The key is to take a few minutes to check, test and clean your smoke alarm to make sure it is functioning properly. What better time to do this than when you change your clock for Daylight Savings Time?

You can't ever make the perfect run, but you can make the best run, and then you clock the fastest time, and that's a win.

You can't foul that much. We just didn't play good defense, and we let them back into the game with the clock stopped. That's not a good thing to do when you've got a lead.

You know, the clock continues to tick. The negotiators, I think, have left things perilously late in light of the date of the summit, which was announced well in advance.

This is not a 60-minute clock like football, ... We've got time. We're going to keep working.

This is a good team. The guys work hard, they're not clock watchers. They do what it takes to be successful. We're a little raw right now, but we'll get better.

No alaram clock needed. My passion wakes me up.. !

This is your life and the clock is ticking.

Somerset Maugham ... wrote somewhere that "Nobody is any better than he ought to be."... I carried it along with me as a working philosophy, but I suppose that finally I would have to take exception to the thought ... or else the universe is just an elaborate clock.

A junky runs on junk time. When his junk is cut off, the clock runs down and stops. All he can do is hang on and wait for non-junk time to start.

When the clock Tick Tocks the party never stops!

It is of no use to possess a lively wit if it is not of the right proportion: the perfection of a clock is not to go fast, but to be accurate.

We just can't go and try to turn the clock back, that's not happening anymore. You've got to figure something else out.

And like most middle-aged people who hear the clock ticking in their lives, I had come to resent a waste or theft of my time that was greater than any theft of my goods or money.

It's sunk in. When the clock was ticking, I was really conscious of it. To go out like we did is demoralizing.

It?s their money. We want to give it back to them before the clock runs out.

The nuclear clock is rapidly ticking and we don't have much time. Unless the international community acts now, Iran will eventually get a bomb.

It's kind of got everything - good comedy, good drama, good romance - and I can see why Julia Roberts would be attracted to it. Everybody gets to play two parts. You get to play the adult children in Act I and the parents in Act 2 (when the clock is set back 35 years).

It's like a clock in a basketball game: you start out with the number of minutes in the game and you count down.

It's always run-first. The last couple of games, people decided to stop the run so we passed the ball, got the lead and sat on the lead. You're not going to set the world on fire when you're up 17 points. Look at the situations: We were trying to kill the clock and trying to pound it out.

It?s always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal line situations or like that third quarter (against the Jets) when you're going into the wind. You want to try to control the clock a little bit. Those are important yards, too. I think we can do a better job in running the ball than we did. I hope we can.

It's always a good test when we play them. In their system, if there's 22 seconds left on the shot clock and somebody's open, they're going to shoot it.

It's not like in basketball, where you run out the clock and somebody throws up a half-court shot that happens to go in and rips your heart out, ... This is a guy that's forcing me to close him out. ... He deserved that set, and outplayed me in the fourth.

I tried to set a screen on him. He knocked the wind out of me. His butt hit me in my stomach. Luckily there was a short pause in the game, the shot clock wasn't working or something. So I somehow managed to get my breath back.

It's not my characteristic to pull it out and slow things down, but we have a 10-point lead there, and we're in the bonus, let's just work some clock and try and get lay-ups.

It's a race against this virus. And the clock is ticking. The challenge now is can we make enough vaccine to protect the world?

That's our game. But in the college game, that shot clock makes a difference. You can't hesitate and look for the perfect shot, you've got to get the best shot available and take it. We just didn't get a lot of good looks in the first half, though.

Everybody can talk about wanting to be up there, but until you are up there with no time on the clock and the score tied ... . That shows how tough a competitor he is.

That is a situation no one wants to see but the closer we come to the weekend and the 12th of July makes it a lot more difficult. That's why Tony Blair needs to be aware the clock is ticking and it is ticking fast and he doesn't have much time left.

They are a team that doesn't quit on you. They are very feisty, aggressive and difficult to defend. The clock was at a snail's pace at the end.

They do a good job of slowing the pace with their two-three zone. They make you use a lot of the shot clock to get a good look at the basket.

They may have gotten a little tired in the second half, but they held and enabled us to hold on to the ball and run the clock out.

A lot of times we came down to the end of the shot clock and we thought we had something and they'd throw something up and it went in. I give them credit.

They have a lot of athletes and they run the ball fairly well. They can score quickly, and we'll have to control the ball and control the clock to be successful.

There's a clock on the wall and it's measuring downThe time you have left til you're dust on the groundThe people you love with the time that you've gotDetermine if you are rememebered or not v i v a l ' a m o u r

There were times he was doing it last year, but we'd be fighting the play clock all the way down to the end and maybe get a delay of game because he was late seeing it.

There were two seconds on the clock when we iced it, and there was time on the clock when they scored the goal. The referee waved it off, the net was off and a linesman comes in and talks to the referee, and that shouldn't happen.

It's fair to say we're in the 11th hour, ... As the clock gets ready to strike midnight, we figured we certainly wanted to sit down one last time and see if there was a deal to be made.

There is no turning back. When you have that kind of clear message being delivered to the (design) teams, then it creates a different kind of mind-set. People start to think how they can make it work rather than trying to find enough flaws with it to turn the clock back.

It wasn't the best shot. You're not going to always get a great look with the clock winding down. We didn't probably do as good a job finishing the play as I would have liked.

It's a rule that concerns his age. Once he turns 21 he's not eligible by NCAA standards, because his college clock in running. As soon as his first class begins this month we'll have him back.

It's just been around the clock because we work two shifts and we don't stop. Somebody is on their job all the time, twenty-four hours a day if there is snow on the ground.

With interest rates on federal student loans set to rise on July 1 for the second-straight year, the clock is ticking for borrowers to lock in today's interest rates -- the fourth-lowest in the history of the student loan program.

You have to watch the clock constantly because you're only allowed out of your home for a limited period, and for a busy person, watching the clock and knowing other people are watching the clock is extremely difficult.

When a man is happy, he does not hear the clock strike

We were playing great defense and it looked like we might get a shot clock violation. Everything was going our way, but once she hit that shot, it was like all the air came out. She came through when it counted. If that shot doesn't fall, who knows what happens. But that's basketball, it's a game of breaks.

We were racing against the clock and now it's clear the clock beat us.

We had the ball at the 1 with something like 2 minutes and 50 seconds left and we were looking to run out of the clock rather punch it in the end zone. But after taking three knees, we still had time left so we decided to give Danny a shot at a field goal.

We had them at the end of the shot clock a lot tonight, but Jackson, he just made big plays. That's the sign of a good player.

We had them on the ropes a couple of times and he'd hit a 30-foot bank shot (just before the shot clock ran out).

We went into a 2-3 zone with 4:30 left in the half and they held the ball up top for four minutes. We didn't come out and they stood there and the clock just ticked away. They started working for a shot with 30 seconds left. We got the steal, but again rushed a shot and came up empty.

We will travel anywhere, and meet around the clock if necessary for the next six days to reach an agreement.

We changed it up in the second half and did a great job. They were trying to wind down the clock and shoot with about four seconds left, so we changed to man.

We changed that to: 'Pulaski County residents are encouraged to observe Central time. We're not going to be the time police. We're not going to be the clock cops. They said as long as our government ran on Central time, they weren't worried about anything else.

It wasn't super exciting and it was a bit of a struggle for us to be patient also. They seemed content to run time off the clock rather than attacking the basket, so it was a good test for us to force ourselves to be patient.

I try to explain to them that that is not unusual, that we often work round the clock to wrap things up at the end of a legislative session, ... While many don't come around, they do end up having a better understanding.

It was something where you wanted to milk the clock as much as you can. They were out of timeouts, but we still needed first downs to keep the ball out of their hands. It was a time where you worry about having your team buckle, but giving it to James made it easy.

It was probably the best game we have played all season, despite the loss. We controlled the tempo and our game plan was to work the shot clock down to around 15 seconds on every possession and then score. We executed our game plan perfectly and met every single goal.

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.

We have a clock for each team, ... What we try to point out is you need to use every second to get ready for the opportunity to play a ball game because you only have, in this day and age, eleven opportunities, and next year begins twelve. You have to make sure you use your preparation time to get ready for that and most especially use your preparation time throughout the entire year so you're at your best in that last game. That's just something we believe in terms of preparation and something that we talk about and obviously have.

We have a clock. We're not going to play this event without umpires. And I believe that the basic problem the WUA faces in our continuing discussions with them is that that clock may have stopped before they became more reasonable in their demands. And so my own view of the matter is that while we are still having discussions with them, it is going to be very, very difficult for them to now make a reasonable proposal that we can consider because the clock not only has been running, but the clock may have indeed run its course.

We have a drill in practice where we put five minutes on the clock and are down by 15 points. During a timeout I told the girls we've done this before in practice, we can do it now.

We had a game plan and we followed it. We tried to run the clock down and we did exactly what we wanted.

What it triggers is the clock ticking. It just becomes a little more of a pressure cooker.... It's all stressful, uncertain times.

This team never gives up. We never stop playing until the clock shows zero.

We want to eliminate future mistakes, so they don't happen to the detriment of another child. It is unbelievable how fast a child can disappear. In every case, the clock is ticking from the first minute.

We just had to protect the ball better and make quicker decisions. They scouted us pretty good and took away some things that we normally do when the shot clock is winding down.

We just tried to play good defense on them. We felt that if we stopped them, the clock would start to wind down and they would have to foul us.

We just wanted to get it in bounds as fast as we could, drive up the court and see what we could get. I remember looking up at the clock and seeing five seconds, then just driving for the hoop. Whatever will happen will happen.

We just moved the ball and tried to make them work on D and work the clock down. We just had to make sure everyone was moving and coming hard to catch the ball.

We talked about it watching film. Utah is very well-coached. They're patient. They're going to use the entire shot clock and you've got to be patient within yourself. You've got to be able to defend. If you have a breakdown they're going to score off of you.

It may be one of those three o' clock funnies.

It makes you realize that we blew an opportunity to be closer. Going all the way back to the second game of the season, we've had some difficulty making clutch free throws. If your mind is on anything else but your technique, you're probably in trouble. If it's on the score and the clock -- 'I hope I make it,' and all those kinds of things -- you're probably in trouble.

There will be firecrackers and fireworks when the clock strikes 12. It's really quite phenomenal. In many places in China, there will be demonstrations of lion dancing on the streets.

They're ahead of everybody by two or three touchdowns. Being able to withstand the onslaught in the first quarter, the first half, whatever it is, it sure is going to be important. . . . They get off to a fast start and they keep it rolling and they just run out the clock in the second half.

They really hurt us. I don't know what their percentage was, but it felt like 80 percent. During those third downs they were just completing those passes and keeping the chains moving and keeping the clock moving.

They really stepped it up. This was like the last day of school. Everyone is looking at the clock and it's 2:55. But we were able to maintain our focus.

I fear we are losing the race against the clock in the small villages ... I've never seen such devastation before.

Colombia has to recognize that the clock is running.

I can't believe how well things are going. I am waiting for the alarm clock to go off and I'm going to wake up, but I don't want to.

I could never appoint someone to the Supreme Court who I thought would turn back the clock on civil rights, ... overblown.

I can still hear the words of Denham Brown saying, 'We have plenty of time. There's a minute, seven seconds on the clock and we're down five.' He really believed.

He's made a tremendous amount of difference in a bad way. He truly wants to dial the clock back to the 1920s, before we saw the modern federal state evolve.

I don't want to get into a district and have to cancel somebody's homecoming game. We were close to that this year. We would like to be in a more competitive district. When you're running the clock in the second quarter, you're not in a competitive situation.

If I could turn back the clock and change the system, I would beg the courts to ensure that court-ordered, medicated, mentally ill patients receive their medication by supervised injection.

If I could have one wish, it would be to put the clock back and for everything to be like it was before she died.

I don't think the clock is ticking yet for Arturo, but there is a clock. He has something to prove. He has to win, and he has to look impressive doing it.

I couldn't be more proud. Ryan is an emotional guy, he kept himself in check the entire game. I thought he did an excellent job of operating our offense and managed the clock well, all of the things we asked him to do.

I don't think they'll trouble the shot clock too many times. They like to get out there and run and shoot it up. Any time you get top players running around it makes for a good contest.

For the first time, we can produce pulses of photons that are regular and reliable enough to be used as a clock in quantum computing, for example, from something we can make almost as easily as any other semiconductor.

He put some balls right where they had to be. He was in control and worked the clock down at the end. He was the calmest guy in the house and I thought it really showed today.

Things happen, and you can't make them unhappen. You don't get do-overs, you can't roll back the clock, and the only thing you can change, and the only thing it does any good to worry about, is how you let them affect you.

With children the clock is reset. We forget what came before
