Finish Quotations | Page 3

My main focus this year is to qualify better. Last year I could always race and finish really well. My qualifying position never put me in a spot where I could finish where I felt the team prepared the car to finish.

Megan had her best game of the year. We've been working a lot with her to finish shots and go up strong, and tonight it seemed like she was really attacking that rim.

Maybe we can even finish the story of white deer and its sad ending and read it to children. It wouldn't be real happy, but it's reality.

Millions of ordinary people across the globe rallied to the immediate aid of communities devastated by the tsunami. Now our collective challenge is to finish the job, to leave behind safer, more peaceful and stronger communities.

May I finish my answer, please? ... Again, any person that has personal contact with a murder victim is a potential suspect until they are eliminated, until the investigation is completed. He may have taken something out of context. I have no recollection of making that statement.

Mr Bronson was a dinosaur and when we were discussing what he would wear, I felt that he would always be smartly dressed and thought that a bow-tie would finish off the ensemble.

Motorists might seen prices stabilize over the next week or two, but that could only be a temporary pause. Upward pressure on gas prices will increase in February due to reduced production as refineries rush to finish the changeover from producing winter grade to summer grade fuel before the March 1 deadline.

Since we didn't make the Chase, our goal right now is to finish 11th and we can do that. We have some race tracks coming up that we like and can run well at. We proved that last year, and if we can repeat that performance, we'll be contending for 11th place and the one million dollar bonus that goes with it. We have that Army spirit of never giving up.

Shannon shot fantastic today. To finish second in the nation is an amazing accomplishment. She worked so hard for this and we are very proud of her.

She fell on her bar routine, and to still finish fifth means she has room to move up. If she hits on everything in the floor, she will be fine.

She brings a lot of heart and leadership up front being able to finish goals.

She hasn't given me her decision on what she's going to do, but I'm hoping it's to stay here, finish up school, and come back next year, and be on the team.

She has played in so many tournaments that she has been under fire. She is so good at taking advantage of an opponent's weakness. She will hit the ball several times because she wants to finish the point, not rush through it.

She is truly great. She goes hard from start to finish and she always has control of her game. It is so much fun to coach her and watch her play.

She is not your enemy. You already know my daughter is honest, sincere, and of good heart. Her respect for the Iraqi people is evident in her words that she has been reporting. Jill started to tell your story, so, please, let her finish it.

She offered that if I resign now, they will give me a graceful exit. Well, I said I will accept the offer of graceful exit in the year 2004 ... that's the tenure the nation gave me and I have to finish that,

She has soft hands. When we look to get the ball to her in good spots, she's going to be able to finish quite a bit.

She has done a real nice job this season. She does a nice job running the floor, she's fast, she hustles and she's strong and can finish plays. And she's just a freshman. That's a great combination of things for us to have. We are very excited to see her develop.

Let's just hope we can finish up the planting schedules for spring and get this one behind us.

Magnifique!, ... It's a very good day for me and my team manager Walter Godefroot, as well as for Frans Van Looy. It's last race this season for them, and also for Aldag and myself, so to finish it with a victory here on Paris-Tours is wonderful! Of course, after 13 years of a lot of victories and emotions with Telekom and later T-Mobile, this is a very precious moment.

Luc himself has had discussions with (general manager Dave Taylor) and said he was disappointed. But what else can we do? He has put in a lot of years, and given a lot of great moments to Kings fans. So it would be nice to see him finish the season playing.

Should have let U.N. weapons inspectors finish the job

On a play two plays earlier, Brad was blocking Mathias and cut-blocked him to finish the play -- in full view of the umpire,

She's such a great kid, and I'm really hoping she'll be able to play in the CAA Tournament. She's had such a great career and we've won all these games. As a senior, you always want to see a kid finish in the championship tournament.

She's very efficient; we always know she's going to finish when she gets the ball down low. It's nice to have somebody like that to depend on.

She's playing incredible. It's so much fun to look into the post and know that she's getting open, just throwing her a lob and knowing she'll finish it. She's really stepped up her game this year, and it's really fun to play with her. It's fun to play with a post player that can bring so much to the floor.

When they trapped the ball, my teammates were able to get the ball to me going to the basket, and I was able to finish plays.

I hate that for anybody in the profession. Sometimes administrations have to make decisions that benefit more than just an individual. I wish if a decision had come to this it would have been after the season. I would hope he would be given an opportunity to at least finish the season if there was going to be a change.

I have made up my mind for us not to be part of the opening ceremony since it will finish late. All of Team Fiji are there but we need to focus on the purpose of us being here.

I have a problem with the way we're getting to the finish line on privatization. . . . Sometimes, it costs us money. It costs us embarrassment, too.

Hartsville made plays and we didn't. We had them down, but let them back in the game. We have to finish the job and be more aggressive, or the result will be the same.

Kids have a mindset - and a lot of people have a mindset - that you have to have a starting five, and they're supposed to play as much as they can. What we had to understand was if we wanted the starters to finish strong, we had to have that other group play. We had to keep up the pace and tempo to keep the defense continually strong. We had to wear down our opponents.

Kids, I want to encourage all of you to keep your eyes on the finish line and finish your goal.

Knocking down big shots when your team needs you. That's what basketball is all about. Tonight was a big win. Hopefully, we can continue to push forward and finish this first half off well.

Knowing it could be your last game, you want to finish with no regrets in your mind. There is no could have done this, or could have done that. This is something I am not taking for granted.

Kevin was a good friend to me. After his death, and seeing his little boy, I got to thinking ? I'm going to do it. Kevin started that house three years ago, and we joked with him about having to finish it for him. Then this happened.

I would say that definitely yes, it's possible to finish the conflict and reach a reasonable agreement in not too long a time so long as there is talk between the sides.

Jack absolutely has to have this. Even if he pars here, he needs to finish birdie-birdie-birdie to make the cut. If he misses, there's no chance.

I wouldn't be able to give an exact time, but I'd say if you start listening to a song on the radio, you're probably going to finish that song on the same light.

He is very unselfish. At times he defers to his teammates, but I wish he had that killer instinct from start to finish where he is just going to destroy people.

This was one of those games that we needed to win to try to get over the hump. I got it going, and my teammates kept feeding me the ball, and I was able to put it in the basket. I got great positioning in the paint all game and I was able to finish at the rim.

This was a good win for us tonight. We were competitive and were more organized down the stretch. Tonight we talked about not being impatient on defense, and playing each position for the full 24 seconds. There is no reason why we cannot play like this for the next 21 games. That is our challenge - to finish the season strong and to play with discipline like we did tonight.

This was a good win that sets us up well for the Southern Equestrian Championships. We still have to finish the drill at Auburn next week though, and we still need to work on winning each event. That's tough to do and that's where our focus will be.

You have to finish the job. I've never been one to be big on moral victories.

You have to finish the job. That is how you win. There is a real fine line between winning and losing and it is just about execution. Whether it is offensive execution or defensive execution or making a pitch in a key situation, that is the key to success. Young teams need to figure that out so they know what to put their focus on when the situation arises.

You have to focus on the one guy. Otherwise, you'd never finish the job and it would wind up costing millions and millions. But you've got facts to go on now, and it would behoove Bonds to cooperate. I think he really has to cooperate if he wants his records to count for anything. Stonewalling won't work.

He is one of the best players in the league and he is only 24. That's scary. The way he absorbs the contact going to the rim, and then finding a way to finish is unbelievable.

He'll be a great coach. I've been waiting for him to get into coaching for a while, but he had to finish what he started. He didn't want to have any regrets.

He'll be here in January and be a part of the preseason all next year. I think we've taken the right approach by letting him finish his academic career and letting him concentrate on the U-17 tournament.

He knew I was about to stop him. This time I will finish him early, ... I got tired of him parading around like he was the future of the division. Come Oct. 15 I will stop him in his tracks. He may never fight again.

He just got to finish the race, you can see the finish line and I think Zambians will never forgive him if he did not finish. We have people who have sacrificed their lives to support us.

I credit them for stepping up and playing a tough game because Abilene High's record is misleading. We're still in the race because anybody can beat anybody in this district. We just have to take care of our own business and try to finish up the second half 6-0. I think a lot of it right now is getting the confidence and morale back up in the guys.

I couldn't hold it together mentally. I couldn't finish the race the way I needed to physically.

I'd certainly prefer to finish fourth than finish fifth. There's a stigma to that: last. 'You finished last, last year.' And after the start we had, ... that just kind of throws cold water completely on the whole season right there.

I am very appreciative to the university for allowing me to finish my coaching career at Virginia Tech. This is the only place I want to coach, and it's a great place to coach because of the administration and our great fan support.

I am very concerned that despite some signs of progress, the work may not finish on time and that the deadline will be missed,

I am really disappointed that I had to get out of the car. Burt had done a great job, and we were definitely on-track for a good top-10 finish with the Rx.com car, but I just had to get out of the car.

I am really happy. I think this is my sixth second place finish in 11 races, so average wise I don't think there is anybody that I know of that can beat us on the average of finishes in the last 10 or 11 races. So we are pretty proud of what this team has been able to accomplish here. It's been an awesome day. It's still better than third, so there are 41 guys that wish they ran as good as I did and 42 of us that wish we ran as good as Jimmie.

I am so happy for these girls. It would have been so disappointing to come here and finish second two years in a row. There was no quitting in them. We refused to lose this time.

I can't remember when 40 points was the last place total at indoors. I knew we were on shaky ground coming in, but if you told me we would score 40 points - I'd thought that would be good for seventh place. I'm sad to finish last, but we're loaded with young talent that will help this team in the future.

I can tell how he's feeling, and he can finish my sentences.

I did everything I possibly could to get back and finish my career the way I would have liked to. My injuries just wouldn't let me do it.

I did not expect that we would emerge on top. I would have been content for us to finish in the middle of the pack. But all the hard work, patience and perseverance of my players are paying off.

I feel that anything can happen any night with the bottom five teams in the league. It will be a battle to see where things finish up going into district.

If only we could go back to Moscow! Sell the house, finish with our life here, and go back to Moscow.

I can't go anywhere until I finish this Christmas album, ... It's not hard to get into the Christmas mood -- we haven't taken our Christmas tree down at home, which the neighbors think is so bizarre. And it is. But this is a jazz Christmas album, so I don't have to be too traditional or mind too many rules. That's what's pulling me along.

I can't pinpoint one thing. There's plenty of things we have to do better. We have to find ways to finish and put the ball in the end zone.

I can tell you every game is going to count this season. You can not just wait until the end to do something. You have to start strong in the beginning and finish strong, too.

I can't relax until we give them a safe landing, wherever it is. To me that's more important than crossing the finish line.

Found out Wednesday that he would be racing in the World Challenge event. On the restart, I thought I might be able to race with these guys here, but they were too tough. I just tried to hole on to finish third.

I don't think anyone picked us to finish second. We lost a few games by only one or two points and could have easily had 18-19 wins.

Getting home ice was a preseason goal and we've accomplished it, and now our goal is to finish second.

Getting picked to finish fourth or fifth in the ACC was like a slap in the face to us. That was based solely on teams having more talent than us, but that doesn't mean they're better than us. You can't look at what people had in the preseason anymore, though -- you have to evaluate teams on what they're doing right now.

Get out there and make him a driver, let's see how many times he can finish going to the basket. We allowed him to do what he does well, and that's shoot the basketball.

From here, we do the public campaign. We get the businesses who've said they'll give that haven't yet, to finish giving what they're going to give. And we go to the city commission again and say please get this on your agenda and adopt this.

From start to finish we played a very inspired game. They took some early penalties and we took advantage of them. We just played disciplined. We don't want to go back to Toledo.

I feel like we're playing well right now. We're not focused on that loss. If we were able to finish the match, it might be a different story. I like the way we're playing right now.

I feel like this team is focused. We know what our goals are. The first was to have a winning season, which we have. The second was to qualify for the Big East Tournament, which we did as the sixth seed after being picked to finish 11th. And the next goal is the NCAA Tournament.

I feel like we are going to get stronger as we go through the season. The hope is that we can finish even better than we did last year. The girls work extremely hard and are very dedicated. The AA teams that we have played, we have been doing well against, and we have held our own against the bigger schools that we have played.

I always wanted to finish (scouts). It would be a huge disappointment if I didn't make Eagle Scout.

I am excited about this recruiting class. It is talented and deep on the track and in the field. I expect each of the recruits to make an immediate impact on our team and help us finish near the top of the Big Ten this year. We have a young team, but we are talented and that is what excites me the most.

I can get the surgery but it's important to me to finish the year,

If we start the game at 3:30, we'll finish it in the dark,

I go out and try to practice, and I can't even go 5 or 10 minutes without it coming back. I couldn't even really finish the first quarter of a game, not even close.

I got a beautiful career going on and I'm not going to let little things like this mess (up) all the things that I accomplished because I think when I finish my career I'm going to be a special player.

I got a good shot, I just couldn't finish it. I was pretty much speechless. Luckily, my sister came over and calmed me down enough that I didn't do something stupid and punch the wall hard enough to break my hand.

I don't think it's just one solution. If I knew what one solution was, I would fix it. That's what people don't seem to understand. The girls are working hard, we're working hard, we've been in a lot of games. We just have to learn to finish games.

I don't think it is a slam dunk, but I don't think there's much doubt that John Roberts crosses the finish line.

I don't think it's up to the manager. It's up to us to be there, to want to compete, to want to finish a game. You have to work hard for the season.

I either finish this tour ecstatically happy and want to go on tour everywhere, or I'll end up just going back to my cave for another five years.- Talking about his North American tour in 1974.

If a company believes that they have the ability to do this from start to finish we would discuss that with them.

I even thought I could lose today but I am happy I was able to play well and finish the match rather easily.

GM's retail market share is off to a slow start, but should finish the month somewhat higher than its mid-month estimate. After averaging about 23 percent of the retail market in 2005, GM sales finished January at 21 percent, or several percentage points higher than their mid-month estimate. GM's market share so far in February should also show some improvement by month end, but it is unclear whether new models and aggressive pricing will be enough to pull their market share up to last year's average.

For Todd to finish where he did shows what a great driver he is. If Todd had started in the first seed the results probably would have been different. He probably would of had a least a silver medal and been in a fight for the gold.

If all our guys stand up and ski reasonably well, we will do well. We've got the depth and good caliber skiers, but we need to finish the courses.

I don't think I've ever had a spring break without baseball being involved. It's a great opportunity to practice in the morning and play in the afternoon. It is very similar to the routine a professional player would have, and many times it helps your team finish the season strong.

For whatever reason, we feel like we can just kind of coast to the finish line and not do what we've done all season, to be looked at as the best team. We're getting away a little bit from what we do. Guys are, unfortunately, looking too far ahead to the playoffs.

For the time being, we cannot throw millions of rands of public money into starting this project unless we can be sure we will be able to finish it.

For us to get a sweep heading into exams is obviously a good thing. I thought our guys did a good job of playing hard all weekend, despite the weather related issues. I am glad that we were able to finish off the sweep to head into the week.

I expect these four seniors will do a very fine job of leading the team back to the state tournament, and a strong finish once we get there. But we have some talented sophomores, and it's common for one of four guys to have an off day. What we're looking for now is to see who will be that 'fifth' ? the guy who can fill in and take up the slack at that fourth spot.
