Stayed Quotations | Page 11

I used to walk around singing a lot. I thank God I played a lot of sports and stayed away from gangs.

This group has probably improved through practice more than any group I've had. That's because they have the skills to do it, but they also accepted their roles and really stayed together as a team.

This debate became a source of tremendous embarrassment for South Carolina. The only reason the flag stayed on the statehouse for so long was that a tiny minority of powerful lawmakers dug in their heels and insisted on ignoring the will of the people of the state.

The weather was turning cold and I remember that Dante was using nothing but natural light as his electric department was away, prepping the scene in the cave. We stayed on that rock for the whole day.

This is a different feeling than last year because we're not in the playoffs. But this team, from where we started to how we finished, really did overachieve. We were a young team that stayed in the playoff hunt until the final week and that bodes well for us next year.

They were guarded on every shot (in the first half). That was not an accident. That was not them just being cold. In the second half, we weren't able to sustain that level of effort. They really stayed with their offense. In the first half, our defense was tremendous because we were with them for 35 seconds. In the second half, they stuck with what they did. When we broke down, they did make their open shots.

A few years ago I was definitely hoping the three of us could have stayed together for a long time. But we've got a new thing going here, and Lance doesn't have to take a backseat to anybody.

You showed versatility and stayed true to what you are.

You really have nothing to lose in that situation. I choked up a little bit, especially with two strikes. I wasn't looking for an offspeed pitch, but I knew he had it. He ended up throwing me another fastball that I stayed on and hit it where I was supposed to hit it instead of trying to pull it.

This is awesome. With the caliber of guys (drivers) here tonight, I didn't know what was going to happen. We stayed out of trouble and wanted to be there at the end and we were there.

You question yourself. You question everything. But I'm proud of myself. I stayed focused through all of it. We're working really hard and trying really hard to get back to the top.

Young people that might have stayed or might have come from other places are now going to move somewhere else.

This is such a challenge for both of us. Phil prepares us so well, and wants us to pay attention to the details. We didn't always do that tonight, but we stayed with the system and found a way.

This is not a great shake-up. This is not the beginning of a great exodus. This is probably one person who stayed too long.

I've done that and I've seen it on tape. I looked really bad so I stayed away from it.

I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.

I'm surprised. Our young guys have worked hard and stayed in the ball game. They've found ways to win.

In high school football, things happen. For them, I'm sure it was a big disappointment. For us, we got a first down in that situation and it helped us. We felt good coming out of halftime and knew that if we stayed with the game plan, the kids would come up with the big plays.

I know what Walk of Fame inductee most people are excited about me being excited about, and that's Pamela Anderson. I think (Anderson) is an amazing person and as a Canadian businesswoman she has accomplished a lot. She has stayed in the spotlight for so long and I definitely could get some business tips, some hair tips and some outfit tips from her.

I know she always gets left out! ... She's the saint and the glue of our family. She has a beautiful voice and she wrote songs early on in their marriage. But she pretty much just raised us kids and let my dad go and be in the studio 24-7 and travel. She maintained the house and stayed home with us. She's a perfect woman. She's just perfect.

I'm very disappointed. I fought very hard to make sure funding stayed in the budget.

I knew she could be really good. If she stayed healthy and motivated she could be one of the best players here.

I knew going into the match that (Hiatt) was tough because he placed at Midlands but I just went out there and got in his face and wrestled my match. I planned on beating him on my feet but unfortunately I didn't get a takedown in the first period. In the second period, I just rode him out, stayed tough on him and beat him mentally.

I knew if I stayed close to Kristin that I would have a good chance. We went into the stadium very close and fortunately I had enough left for a final sprint.

I knew I needed to get a good, clean start. I also knew Ryan (Newman) was going to get a run on me and when he went to the top I stayed committed to the bottom. One of my friends from the off-road ranks Casey Mears was behind me and I knew I was in good shape.

I knew they were going to Lofton. I stayed with him and contested the shot; I almost blocked it. But he made a great shot; I was devastated when it went in.

I knew we'd eventually bust out. You just never know when it's going to happen. We were taking good swings before that, there was good energy on the bench. We just stayed aggressive and kept swinging.

I knew it was going in as soon as it left my hands. I hadn't been that wide open all night. My teammate Steven (Forbes) stayed in my ear, and that kept me up when I was sitting.

I'm very proud of the girls. They stayed calm and executed and maintained their composure even though we gave up a bucket to bring it to overtime.

I never played him before and mentally I wasn't into the match in the first set. I was thinking a lot. Things happened. But I stayed focused and hoped for good things.

I'm very proud of what we've accomplished. We never quit. We stayed with it until the very end. I'm really proud of these gentlemen. They played their hearts out and never gave up.

I'm very proud that this group stayed focused for the entire non-conference schedule and did manage to go through it without dropping one. We had some very close games along the way, but we found a way to win those. Now it's time to step back out and see what we can do.

Iona did a great job recruiting him back in high school. Considering he chose St. John's and stayed close to home, I could definitely see Iona as a real possibility.

I only stayed at 130 pounds to get back at Casamayor,

I only stayed there for one year though, because I got homesick,

If somebody offers you a million dollars over a few years, and you're not going to look at it, you're crazy. But on the other hand, you talk to anybody who went pro early, sometimes they say they regret it. A lot of them wish they would've stayed in college to be around the college atmosphere and get an education.

If people had stayed in their apartments, we might have come away without serious injuries,

If prices stayed up, we'd have to rebudget. It's come down ome, so I hope we can make it the rest of the year.

I'll be gutted if Roy does go because I would far rather he stayed at Old Trafford,

I'll be honest, for a second there I was not sure what was going to happen. We stayed strong and kept our composure and made the plays at the end.

I'm thankful we didn't get penalized. We thought the game was over, but the ball was still going down on the field. We were very fortunate we stayed alert and made the play to end the game.

I'm told that on the night of the demolition derby we had about 5,000 people here. Most of them stayed afterward.

I'm very happy. My putting worked well. That good start really gave me the push. If you shoot 65 anytime, it's always good and it'll give me confidence. You need to strike the ball well here. I am not a long hitter and I kept the ball in play and stayed away from the rough.

I love restrictor plate racing, ... It reminds me of going to the go-kart track with your buddy's and just running wide open. But this year has not been much fun. We have had a top-five car at both Daytona and Talladega. We have stayed up front and put ourselves around good cars. It has been very frustrating to be honest. Hopefully we can avoid the wreck this Sunday. I know the (fabrication) shop feels the same way.

I made some bad decisions that day, and I was boat number 50, which put me behind a lot of people. I went to Kissimmee that day, and I should have stayed in Toho and spent more time fishing.

I made a note to myself not to let that happen again this time. This is not a good course to let someone open up a small gap, so I made sure I was always sitting second wheel. Stay with whoever was attacking, and be ready to close down a gap if need be. I didn't care if that meant the whole group stayed together." ()

I had some good shots. They just weren't falling. I kept practicing and stayed with it.

I had mixed emotions (about leaving) at first, but no regrets now. Had I stayed in St. Louis, I might not even have a job next year.

I had my chances. That one (at 14) went right over the hole and stayed there on the lip.

If NATO troops stayed on, this would only give us a sense of false security ... and create another Bosnia or Kosovo in the Balkans.

If oil prices had stayed where they were in 2004 we would be talking about how profitable the airlines are.

I'm just not used to it. The fans stayed with us last year when we didn't win the division. But they can be better.

I'm just proud of our team. We stayed focused for a long period of time. Even when BYU was playing well, our guys had a different look in their eyes.

I'm pretty impressed with my kids. It was definitely unselfish play. We never lost our poise and stayed under control. Everyone made a contribution, and that's what I am most happy about.

I'm pleased to have stayed on track and I'm maybe a little ahead. I've never focused on moving up to the next level. I've always just played the game and have let it take care of itself.

I'm pleased with how we stayed with it. We persevered and we got it done.

I'm from Minneapolis, so I was well aware of the company and its dire financial straits. I stayed on top of this and I was the only hotel to get paid, and the payments were made and the checks cleared.

I knew what I was going for, right when the whistle blew; I put the ball down and knew I was going to score. I got the ball and put it down as fast as I could and I heard all the commotion going around. I stayed focused and the goalie guessed right. But I put enough on it to slip it by.

I knew where I was going before (I took the shot). Right when the whistle blew, I knew that it was going to be a goal. I got the ball, put it down as fast as I could and I heard commotion going on all around. I just stayed focused and new where I was going. The goalie got straight, but I put enough on it to slip it by.

I'm just absolutely overjoyed. These people have all stayed with their faith their denomination and are working within the system to change the system for us.

I'm Irish as hell: Kelly on one side, Shanley on the other. My father had been born on a farm in the Irish Midlands. He and his brothers had been shepherds there, cattle and sheep, back in the early 1920s. I grew up surrounded by brogues and Irish music, but stayed away from the old country till I was over 40. I just couldn't own being Irish.

I'm just disappointed for Ahmad Smith. He's stayed here through a lot. The energy he puts out and the leadership I ask for from him, even through these times, means a lot to me.

I'm real proud of the kids for their effort. They could have folded up a couple times, but they fought back and stayed in the game.

I'm really happy we have stayed up. I don't think we deserve to be down where we are, given the way we play, although we have let ourselves down at times.

I just watched the goalie to see what he was going to do. I was just trying to focus on him. He stayed in, so I shot.

I kind of knew it was coming to Lofton at the end and really, I just stayed with him the whole time. He made a great shot. I was there in his face the whole time. I almost blocked it, actually.

I kind of lost it for a second because of the call. But we were playing so well, there wasn't any use for me to go over there and pout. I just stayed in the game.

I liked the way we were playing mentally. We were relaxed and loose, and stayed focused.

I'm proud of the way we stayed in there and made a few runs.

I love it that Lance stayed at BYU because he has so much to offer, ... There's no bigger fan of Lance Reynolds than me.

I love it that Lance stayed at BYU because he has so much to offer. There's no bigger fan of Lance Reynolds than me.

I loved my job and I loved dealing with people and I really like the traveling I did through the company. That is how I stayed in touch with my art.

I love when people pick against us because we just go out and prove them wrong. In training camp, there was no doubt in anyone's mind we had the personnel to do it. It was just a matter of staying healthy and going out there and doing it. Knock on wood, we stayed healthy, and it's been a fun season for us so far.

In Salt Lake City, we stayed with them on one floor. It was very distracting.

In our first two matches, we jumped out ahead early and stayed ahead. They stayed focused on their own.

I had a feeling I'm playing against a wall. She was playing every single ball back to me and she was moving great. She likes to hit flat, she stayed aggressive, she was patient, she was waiting for my mistakes. The whole match, so consistent.

I had a funny feeling somebody would shoot low around here ... if the weather stayed the way it was.

I often think about how my life would have been different had I declined the offer to be appointed to the Senate and stayed on the federal bench.

If you look at our games all season long, there?s a lot of third-period wins. These guys stayed out of the penalty box and put the puck in the net. That was the difference.

In the last five or six games, we've been playing our best basketball in this league. I'm really proud of how our kids have stayed together and gotten better in the course of a very difficult year.

In the first half, she was a little upset with herself after a couple of defensive plays, but at halftime we told ourselves to forget it. This was a new 20 minutes so what happened in the first half stayed there. Then she came in and hit some big shots, some wide-open 3s, got some dribble penetration that opened up some other people.

In the first half, we stayed patient against their zone so we got some different looks at the basket. We didn't have to put up shots from outside and we were able to get the ball underneath to generate points.

In the state tournament, runs are everything. They made a little run at us, but we got our composure and made a couple shots and stayed ahead of them.

If you look at the nucleus of the team there are maybe three or four of us left from 2004. The club has been through two terrible seasons. We stayed up by the skin of our teeth last season and this season have not done as well as maybe we thought we would. It is a transitional period and we are just looking to have a good day at Hampden and give the fans something different.

None of the guys really talk about it, ... I think going into a game you can't focus on getting a shutout. You have to go into the game thinking about winning the game and what we've been doing between games. We stayed out of the penalty box, which has been really big for us. And as a team we're playing awesome and it makes all our jobs a lot easier. Nobody really talks about the streak. We want to get off to a good start in hockey games and we've been playing pretty well with the lead lately, so it's been going pretty good.

Oh my gosh, I was praying so hard. I had no words. I was thinking so hard, 'Please, don't go foul.' I don't know when I'll hit another one of those. And, you know, it stayed fair.

I've known E.J. since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. I've stayed in touch with Dave and seen E.J. grow into a fine young man with an excellent feel for coaching.

I've known her for about five years. I always heard her talk about her brother, sister and mom, but I thought they didn't exist. There was no info on them while she stayed here, so I thought she was just making them up.

I've got to thank Mopar and Paul Kistler for getting our engine program back where it needs to be, ... Tonight it was just rubber down and holding our own. We had no tire left, we were just lucky it stayed up. The bad thing about Chico is when you get an early number in qualifying, you're in trouble. The later the number the better here.

I'm not sure he left to play fullback. He could have stayed with us and contended for a fullback or wing place.

I'm down to 191 pounds. I'd like to get to 196-198 by the time the season starts. I was 197 before I got sick. It sure stayed with me awhile. To me, getting back to around 197 pounds is a big deal.

I hope that's one of the reasons they brought me in. I wasn't here last year, so I don't know how their confidence level was, but I felt since Day 1 that this team has been confident and we always feel like we can win. The key today was when they started coming back we never panicked. We stayed together. We stayed focused. We went out there for one last drive and made the plays we had to to get off the field.

I'm not John Wooden, but he wouldn't play a guy based on potential or stats. Five seniors have stayed and they are playing for money. Five years ago I would be praised for rewarding guys for what they earned and not for what their stats say.

I'm glad I kept myself ready. There were times in the season when I could have quit, could have just thrown in the towel, but I always stayed positive. I always remember last year at this time. Certain situations I was needed to step up big and it was just a coincidence it happened (Saturday).

I'm glad I stayed and watched. This was big, even bigger than the game in Florida.

I'm glad I stayed away from the cameras.

I'm really, really proud of the kids. We kept telling the guys about sticking together. We went through a hard road, playing four nationally ranked teams in a row and three of them on the road. I'm proud that we stuck together and understood we could get it done if we just stayed focused and did the things we knew we could do.

I'm proud of our boys, but I have been all year. We just stayed solid and did what we talked about. We wanted to be patient and let the game come to us. We worked our tails off on defense. You can't fault our effort.
