Instead Quotations | Page 6

When I was asked to do a song from 'In the Heights' at the White House in 2009, I chose instead to do 'Alexander Hamilton' because I felt like I was meeting a moment.

When I was a teenager, I used to love the Bronte books, 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Jane Eyre.' In those books, the women do usually manage to heal the men, but in life, I've found it's often the woman gets wounded. Instead of healing a man, she gets affected by his cruelty.

Magazine did a great job. For a number four seed, that was a pretty good team. I think truthfully our kids come out a little tight and trying a little too hard instead of playing and letting it happen. Once we calmed down and relaxed we started playing a little bit.

Making one mistake instead of two helped me,

Making plays I think was the difference. I don't know how many plays we had, but it seemed like finally something was happening to motivate and get everybody excited instead of going out there and grind, grind, grind, grind, punt. Grind, grind, grind, punt.

Making a decision to be healthy is good. What is negative, however, is putting it in the context of losing weight, instead of taking better care of your body. Feeling bad about yourself keeps the diet industry in business.

Scott should have been on his way to a League club the next day, but instead he is in intensive care in hospital. I don't know what the future holds for him. It's too early to think about football. All we are concerned about is seeing him get healthy and on the road to recovery.

Many bought into the idea that America could go from a technology-based, export-oriented powerhouse to a services-led, consumption-based economy - and somehow still expect to prosper. That idea was flat wrong. Our economy tilted instead toward the quicker profits of financial services.

Many consumers are moving away from three core meals because they are skipping meals out of necessity. Some consumers are instead eating only when hungry, and eating more frequent meals of smaller portion size.

So instead of compressing it and having a lot of pressure, it allows it to ... I don't know why, actually. I have no idea why it works. I just know it helps my arm.

So instead of Grant coming free, I came free. I can't count that.

So instead of PowerPoint you have presentation software and instead of Microsoft Word you have word processing software.

So instead of taking four shots a day, you only take one a day because who can't take in a breath of air?

So instead of trying to hold them accountable for what they have done wrong, it seems that some in the Republican leadership want to exempt them from any accountability in the legal system for what they have done wrong.

So long as casual labor broods in squalid lairs, in sunless streets, and ugly dwellings are its only habitation, we shall continue to turn out nervous manikins instead of enduring men.

So it's an old, aging system that instead of protecting farmland is actually protecting small cities, levees of questionable integrity protecting higher value real estate.

Since about 2:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, we've been in a bit of new type of activity phase. In that instead of having these short explosions that were lasting for just a few minutes each, we've moved into continuous ash emissions.

Since a lot of the children have relatives over there, we try not to dwell on the negative. It's a scary process, so instead we send letters and cards to loved ones.

Silk Road embodies the spirit of discovery and exchange. We want to encourage people to look for what unites them instead of what divides them.

She was very frustrated. But very early on she articulated both to me and to the team that she was frustrated, but, 'So what. That's what I have and there's nothing I can do about it so I'm going to do what I can instead of play.' She had a very mature approach.

She takes the pressure off. One, she?s so big and so long. It?s just so easy to find her. It?s easy for me now because I?m going one-on-one instead versus what I did against two or three people at Cincinnati.

She toured nationally with Jimmy Dean when he was playing music instead of making sausage. She's still got it, too.

She's the first dog I ever put in Grade D instead of Grade C after winning maiden. I had that much confidence in her.

She's out to prove that she's going to do it. She's also out to prove to me that she's good at it and needs to do it instead of the 10,000 meter. And that's fine as long as she believes in it and is sold on it.

She's been the biggest nightmare for me. I've lost to her the most than any other player. But this time I changed tactics a little. I went more at her body instead of pulling her wide. And I served big.

She's improved a lot from last year and is in a new role. Autumn's inside this year instead of being out on the wing.

She's pretty much had her way. You're always talking about containing, not stopping a player like that. It would be a victory to keep (Langhorne) from getting 20 instead of 30.

She's right there and instead of being beside somebody or behind them, she's right in front of them where you're supposed to be. And then able to come down and get the ball. There was a sequence there where she had a lay-up, a put-back, and then got the ball and kicked it out to somebody else and scored. So the neat thing is that they're able to do more than just steal and score. So it was a nice night for her. The beauty of that is somebody should come in off the bench and do that. Hopefully there's two or three that come in and do it.

She's (Roberson) a great player. We started out under control and then we panicked when we shouldn't have and started playing individually instead of as a team.

I have lived in the homes of workers; they live on boiled potatoes, black bread with lard spread on it instead of butter, and rotten beer.

I was in same situation last April at Clarks Hill. I was winning by 10 pounds on Saturday and had already won a boat. Then, instead of doing what the odds said to do, I went back and tried to catch another big fish and bombed out and lost the tournament. We tried very hard not to make the same mistake at Lake Murray.

I was involved in the students' union and I had a meeting in London, chaired by the president of the students' union Charles Clarke (now Home Secretary). Howard had no plans for the weekend, so we hatched this plot whereby I took the money for the train fare, but, instead of getting the train, he could borrow a car off a friend, the train fare would pay for petrol and we could stop at his friend Richard's house in Reading,

I was joking with my mom that all Jewish mothers now will want their kids to be filmmakers instead of doctors. Because you can make one film, and suddenly you're directing a 'Jurassic Park' movie.

I was just blessing God. As a mother, I was terrified. But now, instead of weeping and thinking that could have been my daughter, now I'm weeping to thank God she's with me and praying for the others.

The only thing I was looking for after the touchdown was the ref so I could give him the ball so I wouldn't get a penalty, ... Go out with class like I do all the time. I wanted to do what P.J. did, but I realized I had to go out with some class instead of a penalty.

I would urge the district attorney's office to give this a good hard look and, instead of worrying about protecting a conviction, consider dropping the matter entirely,

Kids are prone to be on their phone and their iPads, prone to sharing things and making things. Instead of trying to divorce education from that, let's lean into that.

Kirk's father was pretty good at it, and now Kirk -- they're the best, ... They give you good advice, and if you bring something back, they don't argue with you. They turn out to be your friends instead of just somebody in a store.

Kim . . . doesn't want foreign interference in succession, or for foreigners to try to cut deals with his chosen successor instead of himself.

Kim pitched well. They started to getting to her later in the game, and we had an error in the third inning. If we can get out of the inning without an error, we give up maybe a couple runs instead of five.

Kids are naturally going to react to that when it happens. You tend to want to pull up short and shoot 10-footers instead of 2-footers.

I wrote simple poems with deep meaning instead of confusing poems that no one understands.

I would suggest that we need to focus on killing terrorists instead of building democracies.

Jake has done a good job for us. He's able to spot his pitches and dictate to the hitters instead of letting them dictate to him; he's pretty consistent.

I would not pre-pay. I would invest instead and led the investments cover it.

Guys were worrying about their own games out there instead of taking care of things. We had some composure issues that will be addressed.

There are so many smart people in this business. Not that the people before weren't smart, but these people are smart in a different way and have a much better handle on what they're trying to accomplish, instead of just trial and error as we were before.

He lined up out of position. That means instead of being two yards from the ball carrier, you might be seven, and then what should be an easy tackle near the line becomes an attempted tackle in the open field, and a 2-yard gain turns into 10.

He is such an unselfish player. He loves to be a playmaker, but at times he would rather set someone else up for a goal instead of scoring himself. There are times when I think it would be easier for him to score instead of passing the ball off to one of his teammates.

I collect clothes - they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.

I'd been brought up on musicals. Instead of cartoons, we watched videocassettes of musicals at home.

I could sense it on the sidelines. After the game, I just kind of stood there and soaked it all in instead of taking part in it because that's what Iowa football felt like. That's what we've been missing the past five games.

Give Indiana credit. They played a heck of a ballgame. We just had to start playing to win instead of playing not to lose. The last five minutes showed a lot about the character of this team.

Growing up in the Sacramento Valley in the '70s, we were all pretty big into cars. Of course, I had to nerd out and be a fan of Bob Tullius' Group 44 Jaguars instead of Corvettes/Camaros.

Growing up in a suburban home, the world seems so massive to you. It seems like cities are so big and so far away, and there's so much in them. So your imagination runs wild, instead of when you are born in the middle of Manhattan, you'd know, like, that this is the biggest city.

I am relieved to be up here talking about $40 to $50 million worth of damage instead of $40 to $50 billion worth of damage.

I can't figure it out. I'm just going to help him be the player that he was in Sacramento. I'm going to try my best to do that instead of saying why this didn't happen, that didn't happen. He's a star player for me.

I feel like it is a dictatorship instead of a democracy.

I feel like it's over and done with. The one thing I've learned in the past is if I miss one start and get it taken care of and if I make 34 starts instead of 35, then it's probably the right thing to do. Hopefully this is something when I look back, I'll hardly remember at the end of the year.

I can think back to so many times over the years when they could have been doing something else instead of practicing, but they chose to practice anyway. And practices are not fun. In fact they're downright brutal. I've pushed these two girls so hard, almost to the point of them wanting to quit at times. But through all the misery of training, they persevered and now have a love for the sport that will never die and a love for our team that will never die.

I can't really play with Iowa too much, because you don't want to play using yourself. When you play using yourself, you try to get yourself the ball every play instead of trying to win it.

Francine Busby is trying to play the guilt-by-association game instead of talking about the issues that hard-working voters want to hear about, like illegal immigration and balancing the federal budget. We are not going to play that tit-for-tat game.

Freddy is going to speak from the heart to all New Yorkers, and he is especially looking forward to debating Mike Bloomberg himself instead of Bloomberg's $50 million smear machine,

Gaither came in ranked nationally so we came out here tonight like we had nothing to lose. So instead of being uptight, we just came out relaxed and played our game.

Get up out of your chair and go change the channel instead of using the remote control.

Get out of the cities and go down to the little coffee shop instead of the country club - and people are overwhelmingly in favor of Roy Moore. And a lot of them are Democrats.

Getting a nine-run lead in the second gave me some confidence. It allowed me to focus on pitching instead of worrying about making a mistake. All I had to do was get them to put it in play and let our defense do the rest.

Getting that first goal relaxed us quite a bit. And to have them chase us, instead of the other way around, was a big difference tonight.

From an individual point of view, wouldn't you rather be a person who has a problem for one year instead of for three years? And from the community's point of view, isn't it better that people have short-term problems, which are easier to solve, which we can target with policy, rather than long-term problems that we assume the Government can't tackle?

From an operational stand point, we know when a bus is filling to capacity of 55 seats instead of a bus pulling up to a station and 70 people are waiting on a bus.

I feel like we're able to take coaching. You know the coaches are going to raise their voice and they're going to try to challenge you. Now we're taking it in and learning from our mistakes instead of getting mad at the coaches. We understand now that's their job. They're just trying to make us better. We understand they have to win and we have to win. It's just a learning process.

I feel much better this year, more energetic. My teammates say I'm much more social now. Instead of sleeping all the time, I can hang out with them -- talk, laugh, have fun instead of laying in bed all day.

I feel like I'm in better shape because I'm breathing from my nose instead of overexerting myself breathing through my mouth. It's kind of comfortable, but you just have to get used to it.

I feel sorry for the guy. It's like he's coaching in the Pac-10 with 50 scholarships instead of 85.

I feel like the guy that's got two women that's fighting over him. It would be nice if it was two women instead of two states.

I feel good about this one - it was a good win. Honestly, any win is a good win for us, but this got Buddy some experience on the mound. He moved the ball around and he's really learning how to pitch instead of just throwing.

I am busy just now again on electro-magnetism, and think I have got hold of a good thing, but can't say. It may be a weed instead of a fish that, after all my labor, I may at last pull up.

I can especially see this arrangement being of interest to women. With 30 percent widowed in the 65-74 age bracket, they'll be living a long time without a spouse. Instead of moving into a group situation where you might or might not like the other members, you could choose your friends and people who have the same kinds of value systems and interests.

I get so excited when I see these writers because they're extraordinary, award-winning writers that are here. To gather them and put them in one forum could only raise the bar and make San Antonio known for something memorable like literature instead of the stories that dominate San Antonio.

I got a few pitches up, and I don't think I was as aggressive as I usually am. I tried hitting spots too much instead of just trusting my stuff and letting it work for me. I don't know, it was just one of those nights.

I got behind hitters and made poor pitches. I thought a lot instead of letting things happen. I didn't attack guys like I normally do.

I don't think it's right. Seniors enjoy themselves here instead of staying home and dying.

I don't think it was necessarily jitters, ... I was just trying to be too fine in the first inning instead of going after the hitters. After I realized that, that's when things started settling down.

Give them credit. They took it right at us. We got a little complacent. We were trying to hang on instead of attacking.

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.

Go back three Olympics, you were broadcasting four or five hours a day, instead of 15 hours a day, but you still had same expense to cover the Olympics,

Given the option in this trial, I suspect many senators would choose 'not proved' instead of 'not guilty,'

Giving up field goals instead of touchdowns was big for us. Even when it seemed like everything was going their way, we kept our heads in the game and believed we would give the offense a chance to win it at the end.

If any human being earnestly desires to push on to new discoveries instead of just retaining and using the old; to win victories over Nature as a worker rather than over hostile critics as a disputant; to attain, in fact, clear and demonstrative know

If any of these groups want a meeting they should contact my office instead of going through the media and we'll try to accommodate them as we have in the past,

If anything, you're further separating the entities. We know that a lot of law-enforcement officials believe it would be better instead to bring them together.

I don't think people clearly understand how good our league is. We're the third-ranked conference in the country. We just aren't top-heavy. There's not someone that looks like a Final Four team right now, but someone could play their way into that. Instead of being top-heavy, we have a lot of good teams.

I don't think people give him enough credit for being as smart as he is, ... Now we're talking about that instead of something negative about the team, so I guess that's a good thing.

For three quarters, we played great. But we need to put that into 32 minutes instead of just three quarters. Even though we did turn the ball over in the fourth quarter, we still found a way to get the job done.

Forty-eight ports makes good sense for us, ... We have a couple of suites connected over fiber with 30 to 50 users in each. We can buy a single switch for each suite instead of stacking multiples.

Fortunately we play here, where it was a homer instead of a double.

For us to be consistently here, instead of at an unknown facility for a couple of days, is just a huge advantage. People are just so supportive in Mackey. We always get a great crowd and once our fans get going, it's a great feeling.

I don't try to use them that much but when you enter a corner too fast they can be a help. The problem is that a driver can't rely on them. If temperatures aren't cold enough to freeze the snow properly, instead of bouncing off the banks, cars can be dragged into the snow or plough through them and off the road.

I don't want a country where 10 people living in a mobile home is the new way to do things. We don't need to shut down immigration. We just need to bring it into balance where it becomes a positive instead of a negative.

I don't think we were aggressive enough. We didn't fight for the ball. We didn't get a lot of first touches. We seem to play too unselfish, instead of taking the ball to the net. But it's a win and I'll take it.
