Sixth Quotations

I have been a frequent air traveler since I was a few months shy of my sixth birthday, when my parents packed me off to boarding school two plane rides away from home. Those days of being willingly handed from air hostess to air hostess as an 'unaccompanied minor' made me blase about the rigors of air travel.

The reason it takes us from November the second to December the sixth to certify is because we have a very tedious, very comprehensive process where we audit by precinct, across the state, every vote that was cast to make sure that every vote that was legally cast is counted.

How did Abraham know that it was God that bid him offer his son, being a breach of the sixth commandment?

My first dunk was actually in sixth grade.

I suppose I've always lived in my own head. I didn't discover boys till sixth form. Then suddenly it was, 'Oh! Boys!'

I've been intrigued by this question of whether we could evolve or develop a sixth sense - a sense that would give us seamless access and easy access to meta-information or information that may exist somewhere that may be relevant to help us make the right decision about whatever it is that we're coming across.

I saw Styx in sixth grade. I loved Tommy Shaw. I got sneakers like him - he wore these tan Nikes.

When we fall asleep, we withdraw our awareness from its hypnotic fascination with physical sensation, thereby enabling us to listen with our now awakening sixth sense.

In the history of the world, all five mass extinctions have been accompanied by massive climate change, so we are facing an incredibly serious threat. In fact, we are technically in the sixth mass extinction right now, and it is the first mass extinction being attributed to humans.

I started home school around sixth grade, but I'd only done a couple of national commercials. I remember I had this Spalding commercial with Paul Pierce from the Celtics, and I used to go to school, and people made fun of it. It wasn't even cool to be an actor; you got made fun of.

I had a brilliant trip to Mexico with my friend Ellie during my gap year. We thought we were being really cool and going off the beaten track while all our friends went to Thailand and Australia. The first beachside bar we walked into - there were two girls from my sixth form in there.

This is my sixth series, and I'm burned out wondering if a show is going to change my life. Don't get me wrong, I love when people recognize my work. But I've given up worrying about whether it'll be seen by two people or two million or 22 million.

I definitely would say, by sixth grade, I was a professional shoplifter - and not because I wanted to. I'm not going out to shoplift earrings or clothes or shoes like the average teenager. I was shoplifting frozen dinners at a grocery store.

In many ways, 'What Teachers Make: In Praise of the Greatest Job in the World' is just one big thank-you note to my teachers. The book is dedicated to my fifth and sixth grade English teacher, Dr. Joseph D'Angelo, a massive force of erudition, martial artistry, culture, and love.

You see, I went to the sixth grade and that was the highest I ever went.

I'm blessed because I had my mom as a teacher - sixth through eighth grade - and she is one of the best teachers I've ever had.

My first time playing a main character was in 'Seventeen Years.' It was directed by famous Sixth Generation director Zhang Yuan, but it wasn't a large commercial film.

I vividly remember sixth grade. It's the year when kids turn mean, and it's definitely no longer okay to cry in public. So we force our hot tears back, and they burn our throats all the way down.

The only time I've ever really felt envy is when I've watched people make music, which made my time living in the now-legendary Jazz Loft at 821 Sixth Avenue in New York a constant source of agony and ecstasy!

You look at John Travolta in 'Pulp Fiction', you look at Donnie Wahlberg in 'The Sixth Sense.' People have liens against them in crazy ways and the audience is always forgiving - if you prove it.

I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.

In the sixth grade, I auditioned for a play called 'Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.' I got the lead, and I was terrified, but I went and did it.

For instance, 'The Sixth Sense' had mediocre to bad reviews. Slowly, the audience pushed it and it received critical attention.

The first time I can remember thinking that I would like to be a writer came in sixth grade, when our teacher Mrs. Crandall gave us an extended period of time to write a long story. I loved doing it. I started working seriously at becoming a writer when I was seventeen.

I want to do things I enjoy, and show business comes fifth or sixth down the line.

Since I've been home-schooled since sixth grade, I've practiced six to seven hours a day. I wake up, practice for three hours in the morning, eat lunch, and then go out and play eighteen or more holes.

With our evolved busy hands and our evolved busy brains, in an extraordinarily short period of time we've managed to alter the earth with such geologic-forcing effects that we ourselves are forces of nature. Climate change, ocean acidification, the sixth mass extinction of species.

I was in elementary school in Mississippi, and when Katrina hit, my mom put me in home school. So ever since sixth grade, I've been home schooled, which was interesting.

I was head of the Sixth Form Centre when I left the school.

Theology necessitates an image of God as a conscious, rational, supernatural being of unlimited power and scope who cares about humans and imposes moral codes and responsibilities upon them, thereby generating serious intellectual questions such as: 'Why does God allow us to sin?' 'Does the Sixth Commandment prohibit war?'

The man who bears my name, and who claims to be me, was born on July 15, 1865, the sixth in a family of seven. He was an ugly child, and remained ugly till his eighteenth year, when his looks gradually improved.

I remember when I was in the sixth grade, my friends used to come over and we would give each other blindfolded makeovers, which turned out interestingly to say the least!

I remember I'd come home from fifth, sixth grade, and I'd watch 'Saved by the Bell' and be like, 'I hope my high school experience is like that.' And it totally wasn't. It sucked.

I remember in the first part of the race I was sixth and I could have gone quicker, but I had to go slow. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.

I bought an electric scooter in sixth grade. Bankrupted me.

When I was in sixth grade, I wanted to become a priest.

I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool.

The very first proper play I did was 'Godspell,' and I played the guitar for it, and I had a small part in a high school play. And before that, in sixth grade, I wrote a musical about Noah's ark.

A deadly sins addendum is long overdue. Life has changed since Pope Gregory the Great scribbled his initial list in the sixth century.

My take is that these guys need challenges. Sometimes maybe they can get a little bored out there. But when they're locked in, it's like a curtain goes up and you can see it in their faces. They go from fifth gear into a sixth gear.

Only the kids who get a postsecondary education are even keeping even in terms of income in their lives, and so forth. The rest are falling behind, year by year. Only about a twelfth of the Latino kids and maybe a sixth of the black kids are getting college degrees. The rest of them aren't getting ready for anything that's going to have much of a future in the American economy.

On paper,we should be fifth, sixth or seventh. The reality is, they have the potential to be a pleasant surprise.

Luckily we have been pretty good because we were able to start them off in the sixth grade.

Oh yeah. I knew. I got a little careless in the sixth with the catcher there, throwing him a bunch of breaking balls in a row. That's why it's so hard to do it. I wasn't concerned about it. I wanted to win the game, and we did.

No doubt he gave them solid minutes, which is what a sixth man is supposed to do.

My goal is to make it back to the state meet again. I also want to finish high in the conference, but the Western Lakes is very strong this year. Livonia Churchill will be good again and Walled Lake Central didn't graduate anyone and they were sixth in the state last year. I expect Northville and Livonia Stevenson to be strong, too.

None of these games are really upsets, like Wichita State or George Mason winning, because if you watch them they are really good teams. There's so much equity it's scary. Remember back in November when we said how good Drexel was and couldn't believe that was the sixth or seventh place team in the Colonial? Well, that's where they finished.

Right now, after the first (few) days of camp, our sixth defenseman is not here. We still have 21/2 weeks.

Right now Binder has that sixth spot in our lineup. He's another very committed kid who works very hard.

I didn't want to go after him until the fifth or sixth round, after I had taken away some of his strength, ... But I had to open up a lot sooner than I wanted.

If we can get fifth or sixth we'll be doing well. There's no way we'll beat Aspen, Summit or Vail Mountain School, but if we can stay ahead of Battle Mountain, that'll be great. For a bunch of kids who train for two-and-a-half months out of the year, they do great, and I'm real proud of them.

Last year we finished sixth in the league. It was our best finish since joining the league in 2000.

Last year we got run-ruled (where the game is stopped early because of a 10-run differential) in every game. This year they beat us 5-0 and scored four of the runs in the sixth inning. It was 1-0 going into the sixth inning. In a one-run game, anything can happen.

Sixth grade was definitely a hard year for me. I got left out because I didn't go to any of the parties or hang out with the 'cool kids.' I was focusing on my academics. I wasn't allowed to go to any of the parties.

Sixth hole, Tiger's up by the green waiting. I told him, 'Sorry it took so long, but I was 120 yards behind you.' He laughed.

Mike said we will always be the other team. Even though they are a sixth seed, they're the pick over us. We win 11 in a row, and they say it's our fault the other teams weren't as good. We can't worry about it. We just got to go out and play.

She has given us a lot of time off the bench as our sixth man and she has a great shooting touch. She gets good looks and she can knock down the clutch shot if we need that.

She could start for almost any team in the state, and she could start for us too. I just like the role she's playing for us. You can't ask for more from a sixth man.

Mac struggled. We were lucky to get the sixth inning from him. His pitch count was getting up there (he threw 130 pitches, including 36 in the first), so I wasn't going to let him go past six.

Since April we've experienced three out of the four strongest months on record for existing-home sales, and August was the sixth highest. We're at a more sustainable level now, but long-term there should be some additional easing toward the end of the year. In fact, the August sales pace is close to what we project for total sales this year.

Sean can help us with his shooting and Cyrus with his rebounding, and both can do other things. I'm just glad our freshmen can be our fifth, sixth or seventh options and not our first or second.

She's like a sixth starter. She's gotten to the point where she's playing with confidence.

She's never been afraid to shoot. She just fires it up there and luckily, most of the time, it goes in. If she'll miss a couple of shots, she's so used to shooting that that's not going to get her down. If she misses five, the sixth one's going up. No hesitation whatsoever.

She went to the doctor today, and he said it was two weeks before she could start jogging. Alicia and Sara are really close to my heart because I've coached them since the sixth grade. I was their grade school coach.

She's on track to have a really good career as a shot putter. She should be able to make the finals, and fifth or sixth place is not out of the question for her.

She showed incredible patience. She didn't get down on herself and was able to move from sixth to second on her last jump. She did what she had to do and came through when it counted. She also posted the fastest split for the 4 x 400-meter team.

I hate to make this point too often, but imagine for a moment George W. Bush were on his sixth vacation, and he was asked about Iraq, and he said 'I'm buying shrimp.' You think that wouldn't be a headline everywhere?

Kirk came in and was great on the boards. He made shots. He was a good sixth man off the bench. He definitely helped me out (being in foul trouble).

I would say that 90 percent of everyone involved with Martell felt like it would behoove him to go to college initially. But he was given such a great opportunity as the sixth pick, it was hard for him to turn down.

Greg battled to get out of trouble. In the sixth inning, he got out of a bases-loaded jam. We're just happy to get out of here with a win.

He just didn't have it. I just don't think that it's a good idea to pat a guy on the back for getting to the sixth inning when he was ineffective for three innings. ... He's capable of so much better than that.

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 forgot how to tackle, ... I haven't played since I was in sixth grade. You forget how to tackle, the right form and everything. But it's coming back at you.

Give (Habersham Central) credit. They came back out in the sixth inning and scored four runs to flip the momentum, but that just shows how important making plays early in the game is.

'Get Skinny' is my sixth book. I look over the books that I've written, and my subject matters are varied, and I write books pertaining to that which I'm dealing with at the moment.

From sixth grade on I was a real Pillsbury doughboy. Overweight, long hair, thick glasses.

From my music training, I knew that, some Spanish rhythms apart, 5/4 is a time signature used only in the modern era. Holst's Mars from the Planets is 5/4. But if you speak lines of poetry in that pattern you just end up hitting the off-beats. It's only when you add a rest - a sixth beat - that it sounds as it surely should sound.

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 am extremely concerned that there will be donor fatigue, ... This is the fifth or sixth major disaster in a span of 18 months, and we worry and we pray that the American public will continue to come through.

If a child says it has five senses, their parents will surely believe that it has the sixth one as well.

For the sixth time in five years, federal courts have now blocked or struck down these state and local laws seeking to regulate the sale of games to minors based on their content.

I don't think you can play for that. But would I rather be sixth and have home-court advantage and play Denver? Yes. I don't want to give Denver something to put up on the bulletin board. Obviously, I'd rather be at home to start the playoffs. It would great to be home. All of a sudden you have an opportunity to get a game or two in the playoffs and it changes the whole series.

I don't think we've ever had a conference this deep. You look at our situation. We're a team that is 15th in RPI and the sixth seed. You're going to have some teams that in a normal situation would be getting a bye but in this conference they are going to be playing Wednesday night.

If it wasn't for my brother, I probably would have never wrestled. He got me hooked on it back in the sixth grade. I've fallen in love with it since.

Cedric Benson has nothing to do with my game whatsoever. I've been in the NFL. This is my sixth year. I've been running the ball ever since I've been playing football, before I knew Cedric Benson.

I don't care. I want to work for the team, and that's it. I don't think about improved player, sixth man. If my teammates know I'm improved, that's enough.

I felt good this morning, especially in that first spell and I hit my rhythm in the fifth or sixth over and then I was on my way, but I just tried to remain a bit more patient and tried to get the ball in the right areas.

Bart has been a little stiff the last couple of days. It started to knot up in the sixth and I said enough is enough. He's a little tight right now, but we don't think it will affect his next start.

I have always loved this - I remember helping my friends with perms, and I actually gave my first perm all by myself when I was in sixth grade.

Having Oak Manor as a sixth grade center is fabulous. Having one grade here at the school has been a lot easier. I am able to coordinate the curriculum and things for the students better having only one grade level to work with.

Had he kept his nose clean and gone back to school next year, a first-round selection would have been a very, very distinct possibility. But now with all the trouble that he's had, from arrests, obviously, the on-field stuff, the maturity concerns, I think he's going to fall, for sure to day two, and I can see a case where he falls to maybe the sixth or seventh round.

We are fourth, fifth and sixth in the state. We easily could be one, two and three. We are not that far off. I'm sure we are all looking forward to finding out.

We talk about us having six starters. Whoever that sixth person is going to be coming off the bench, they've got to be a spark, and Nicky did a great job of that.

When Howard hit that home run, I thought here we go, ... You know and when Kenny (Lofton) made those two catches in the sixth that really got us charged up.

Hunter came up big. It's nice to see him succeed. Last year I called him my sixth starter. He didn't start a game last year. But this summer he made up his mind to become a better shooter. He has come up big and worked so hard. I'm happy to see him do well.

He was our sixth man all year and gave us a spark off the bench. He brought a lot of energy.

He'd been disgruntled since the sixth inning, so it was time for him to go.

He was here about a year before he moved in with me, and we were the sixth actual house he'd been in in a year's time.

He was really a neophyte when I first read his work. The O'Neill had rejected it five times, but the sixth time one of my readers said he had improved a great deal. He had learned to write dialogue, and now he was learning to write confrontations between two people.

We looked at this team and where we were and knew it was time to rebuild. We were the sixth oldest team in the league. We needed youth, enthusiasm and potential ... I've been involved with teams like this a few times. We did it in Milwaukee. We did it in Cleveland. We can do it here.
