Knight Quotations

I kept thinking I was always going to meet the right man, but I never did. Kept waiting for this knight in shining armour. 'When's he coming? He's taking a long time, isn't he?'

There weren't any white people in this country who didn't know who Gladys Knight was. Or the Pips were, as far as that's concerned.

I worked a lot with Nick Knight and John Galliano when John was at Dior. He also made my wedding dress. He'll always hold a special place; I have most of my memorable, iconic moments in fashion with him.

I was so pleased we won, because it was the only time I think we were able to win on senior night. At the same time, anytime you can beat a coach Knight team, there's always an added sense of pleasure, because you're competing against and beating the best of all-time. I think you get more satisfaction out of it, because of how successful Knight's been and all the games he's won.

When I look at Coach Knight and Pat and obviously Coach Sutton and Sean, I mean, you're talking about two guys that have grown up at the feet of two of the greatest coaches ever. It's just a natural progression.

Obviously, he had an expertise and a way about him. I don't think you can get strapped by the age thing. Bobby Knight was named a head coach at a very young age. Those guys were given a lot, tool-wise, and they've obviously took it and run with it.

Guard play is always important at this stage. Knight has been nursing an injury, but I expect him to be ready.

KNIGHT, n.Once a warrior gentle of birth, Then a person of civic worth, Now a fellow to move our mirth. Warrior, person, and fellow --no more: We must knight our dogs to get any lower. Brave Knights Kennelers then shall be, Noble Knights of the Golden Flea, Knights of the Order of St. Steboy, Knights of St. Gorge and Sir Knights Jawy. God speed the day when this knighting fad Shall go to the dogs and the dogs go mad.

(Hawks GM) Billy Knight told me I'm not going anywhere, so mentally that's where I'm at now. I'm not thinking about it at all. He said if there's something that comes along, something that he's thinking about doing, I'll be the first to know before he does it.

Standing still is not an option. Each of the eight properties our advisory team has identified is profitable. We think there are solid business opportunities out there. We are going to go after those properties and we are going to attempt to persuade others in labor, management and the investment community to join us. We have formally requested that Knight Ridder open the process to include our bid.

Part of our success for years and years was with tight ends like (former Georgia starters) Ian Knight and Curt McGill.

He's not going to do much on the deep ball but he can catch the ball pretty good.

My parents and my family really tried to maintain as much of a normal environment as possible. When I went home, it wasn't Keshia Knight Pulliam the actress, the glitz, the glamour. It was Keshia the daughter. Oldest of four children, who washed the dishes and did everything she was supposed to do.

I thought of myself as a species of knight errant attacking dragons single-handedly and rescuing musical virtue in distress.

I worked for Knight Ridder for 18 years and I know the Detroit Free Press was part of the company's pride back in the old days. Now it seems, viewed from the outside, that these papers are like cards in a deck: you shuffle them, you deal them, you fold them, and the meaning of them as an institution in the community seems to have been lost.

I thought the tone was set at 1:19 when Knight drove the ball and they called a foul on Abe. The clock stopped, and they're scoring points. That's the worst thing.

The struggle is confused; our knight wins by no clean thrust of lance or sword, but the dragon somehow poops out, and decent democracy is victor.

An early victim would be the Philadelphia Daily News, no matter who acquires the company. It's much more profitable to publish one newspaper than two in the same market. It's a kind of miracle Knight Ridder kept it going this long.

We do not talk to anybody, and we will not talk to anybody on a white knight thing,

Brian Knight hustled over to third base where he's supposed to be but he doesn't have the tag-up call. That's the plate umpire's call. I had it lined up. The wrong umpire made the initial call. The plate umpire, which is me, it's my call and I had him leaving early.

Finding the right home for these papers has been a high priority for us since the announcement that we would be selling 12 of the Knight Ridder newspapers. This transaction highlights our ability to deliver quickly on our divestiture plan, and we are delighted with the sales price.

Coach Knight has always had great respect for the Delaware job and thinks it would be a great situation for someone.

You're sad because as a competitor you'd like to go to the national championship game every year. I'm happy because six years from when coach (Bob) Knight was let go this is still a program. I'm very disappointed and sad I didn't get it done the way I would have liked.

Alex Knight was a big victory for us. It was a bit of redemption for Olympus. He beat Ryan Gonzales of Payson, who was a defending champion, and two years ago Gonzales beat a guy from Olympus that was a defending champ. It felt good to kind of get a payback.

That's what we've been working on since Dec. 22, and clearly we're very much in the game at this point. Once Knight Ridder said they weren't going to sell the newspapers piecemeal, we were in a holding pattern waiting until someone bought the whole thing.

A maiden knight - to me is given/ Such hope, I know not fear.

Every year kids get mad. It's just not in front of the Knight Commission.

To say that our performance away at Nottingham wasn't one of our greatest would be an understatement. It will be difficult again because the side is so disjointed through injury. We've lost Paul Knight again, who has an infected groin, so he's not available.

We got great play from Simon Knight and Marc Daniels, who both had their best games of the year.

This is a difficult time in so many ways, but in no way greater than having to disrupt the lives and trust of Knight Ridder people with whom we have worked so closely. But I do feel we have no choice.

In the first half, we tried too hard. In the second half, Aaron said we're not losing this game, and everything rolled from there. I think coach Knight might be seeing Aaron shooting those jumpers in his dreams tonight.

I know I've taken a lot from it as captain, ... Even when you're losing, it still toughens you up. You learn how to cope with different and difficult situations and we've done well to keep our spirits high. These guys have worked hard. They've had a chance to watch good players every week and learn from them. Take our game against Warwickshire last week. It wasn't enjoyable to watch Nick Knight build up an innings against us but the likes of Omer Hussain and Qasim Sheikh got a lesson in how to go about that. We've a lot of good young players coming through. We've taken this experience and learned from it and now we have to put it into practice in the future.

Investors were hoping for some white knight to pop in and save Lucent.

If you were Merlin and you had taken a young boy with a fragile build and dipped him into the cauldron of boiling juices from lizards' insides and produced a knight with the biggest, broadest sword ever seen, you wouldn't have a better miracle than Giuliani produced by 9-11,

The bottom line on Knight Ridder papers is that in order to make these deals work, someone has to get extremely aggressive with costs. There's no question that this means that any buyer has to go in with a very, very sharp knife and trim the fat and maybe into the muscles to get this to work.

It's like being a Knight of the Garter. It's an honor, but it doesn't hold up anything.

For its merit I will knight it, and then it will be Sir-Loin.

It?s something coach Knight used to always do. It?s a long season. It?s a grind. Back when I played, there were 18 (conference) games. It gets to be very long and can mentally really wear your team down.
