Stayed Quotations | Page 5

Paul stayed in Chicago for very important reasons, and I respect that. He felt a huge connection with that organization. He blossomed into a star there, and his bond with the city and fans was very strong. He would have been an incredible fit for us, but I respect the reasons he stayed in Chicago.

Options have stayed robust after they reported earnings, which is unusual.

I saw him before I left. He said to me I can call him or contact him at any time, but I've stayed away from that at the moment because of his family problems.

I saw the big guy in the blue sweatshirt just standing out front. They told him to drop the gun. They told us to stay down. It was scary. I thought there was going to be open fire. I just stayed there, just didn't move.

I was able to beat a few guys in the zone and they (fly balls) stayed in the ballpark,

I think a lot of them stayed there knowing they could loot and get away with it. New Orleans is a wonderful place with wonderful people.

I think when he died it got us into so many different areas of the world that people started to recognize NASCAR. And then it stayed in the mainstream of the press and the people and things just kind of took off from there. The sport was growing and with the massive outlets the media had, when everything happened with his death, I think it just continued after that.

Last week some of our defensive ends struggled. There were some plays, if they just would have stayed at home they would have made the play.

Last year at this time, we had 5,140 students, so we stayed within five percent of that, which is what we wanted to do,

Last year certainly there was a great deal of emphasis on the forearm check, just as there is this year. But that has stayed about the same this year.

Last year, everything went smooth for him, and this season, he's had to deal with some obstacles and adversity. He does possess great character, and he didn't panic. He stayed the course, and I think a lot of people who've gotten to the level he's at in track would have panicked. Once he was fairly healthy, he got back out and did the work. He's always kept his poise.

Kristen stayed in her game. She missed a couple of pitches, and Bartow took advantage of. But she stayed in her game to the very end.

(Jimi) was so into it -- if you listen closely you will see that I stayed on him, ... And when he started 'The Star Spangled Banner,' that impromptu thing, you hear the first four, five, or six notes; I'm in there with him. Then I said, 'Wait a minute, we didn't rehearse this, and it doesn't sound too good with me playing.' I backed away, and he continued and made a classic out of that.

Just follow Buck O'Neil. This man is a leader, he's a genius. He understands people. He understands life. He will keep this going. He never gives up on situations he believes in. He's not discouraged about any of this. He believes he came along at the right time and is doing the right thing. He started the Negro League Museum in Kansas City. That was his goal, his mission, and many people resented that. But he stayed on course with his situations. All of us should learn from this man. He's an ambassador, he's a humanitarian. We should follow him and see what he has to say.

I thought we were a little sluggish early but we stayed patient on offense. To Military's credit, we didn't have that many open looks but we were able to get our inside-out game going and that was big.

Last summer my dad, brother and I went fishing off of Lake Erie. We charted a couple of boats and stayed in cottages on the lake. It felt like the trip was over before it began.

I remember watching 'The Carol Burnett Show' with my parents as a kid. All those weird outfits she wore, like turtlenecks and long skirts, really stayed in my head.

Japanese institutional investors as well as mutual funds finally started to buy foreign currency-denominated assets, after having stayed on the sidelines for some time since the start of the new fiscal year.

Jennifer always plays hard. But tonight she stayed focused for 40 minutes. Any time she does that she can put up those type of numbers.

Our kids played well today. They stayed focused and turned in solid performances.

My mother was an awful cook, an exceptionally awful kosher cook, but I stayed kosher until I got to college, even though I'd long stopped believing in God.

Manawa played a real tough game. But we stayed strong and came out strong in the fourth quarter and never looked back.

Maybe if the team had been in a different situation, he might have tried to come back. I was really looking forward to playing with him. With all the injuries, it stayed in the back of my mind I was going to have a chance to play with him this year. ... I don't know if it's worth it to him to try to test the knee at this point.

It is disappointing that there is so much posturing taking place. It would be wrong for management to attack all employees because it is having a problem with one employee group. Even during strikes, the plants have stayed open.

Judges have historically stayed out of trying to improve the system, what I'd like to do is make the system work.

I think I've been quite lucky in that I haven't had to make too many changes to myself. Obviously, there have been adaptations and things that I've altered, but I haven't changed completely. I've stayed myself.

Most retailers made major mistakes of putting their distribution centers at greater distances from each other when energy prices came down and stayed stable in the 80s and 90s . Retailers are long-hauling freight anywhere from 300 to 700 miles. With 50 cents a mile for a 20-ton diesel freight truck, it adds up.

It dawned on me, the enormity of my situation. I was, in fact, the catalyst for it all. That feeling has stayed with me ever since.

It all comes down to this weekend. We tested at Richmond last week and learned about a lot of things that didn't work. Hopefully, we can take what we know and get the right set up on our car. Matt and the team have stayed committed and focused and have gotten us this far, somewhere that at times we didn't think we'd be. So this is it -- it should be a wild night!

I still think I could've done a lot better. I thought I had him stuck. I stayed on him and not let him have a chance to breathe.

It all fell apart. It was a good game until then. I just stayed with my starter too long.

I think for the most part, we stayed patient and got the pitches we wanted.

I thought I stayed with the program and with the character, and the audience was great, ... Grease.

I thought I timed it well. The ball just stayed up there.

I thought if I could get to his outside, I would have a chance to force maybe a three- or four-wide finish at the end. But when I tried to go to his outside in turn one, as soon as I turned ... the front tires started chattering. I stayed on the gas a little bit and tried to get to his (rear quarter panel) and I couldn't.

I thought it was going to hook so I tried to give it a little English at the plate, and it kind of stayed fair,

I thought it was over. I was doused with water, so I lost perspective. I'd have to see the replay to see how it really worked. We're fortunate we stayed alert.

I went to SG Formula and became Formula Renault 2.0 Champion. I went then to ART in Formula 3 and became Champion. Then I stayed with the team in GP2 Asia Series, and again, I became Champion. Then the first year of GP2 was really great. I was P4 at the end of the season, which was a fantastic result.

I survived because I never took on big responsibilities in my private life. In the early days, I lived on two or three pounds a week and learned to cook - and I'm a good cook - because I had to. Even when I went on holiday, I stayed in other people's houses.

It is a nice start for me, ... I had to make sure I kept the pressure on and stayed aggressive.

I think the most important thing was that the core of the players stayed the same, ... A lot of the guys matured and became very good players.

I think there was an idea that we didn't have a right to look on private lands and that what happened there stayed there until this matter. It's a whole new day today.

Retailers had a sales plan for Christmas, stayed with it and then benefited from a very strong January without giving up margins.

Robert did a great job. Robert's a big body and he moves well. He stayed in front of him and he maybe wore him down a little bit. Robert just came in for six or seven minutes and gave it 100 percent and was able to deny him the ball and get his big body on him.

Our Achilles has been the beginning of the third quarter and the last five minutes of the game. But we did a good job of keeping our composure today. We stayed focused and stayed positive.

Over the last couple of years we have been offered deals by other promoters but we have always stayed with Frank because we like him.

Our press was working in the first half, but we weren't converting. In the second half, we picked up the intensity on our press and it really worked. We just stayed after them.

Our youth showed tonight. We gave them the ball in good field position and they took advantage. If we hadn't done that, then we could have stayed with our game plan and stayed in the game.

Our team stayed in a little truck stop up there once and in the restaurant there, you could have your food prepared two ways: fried or deep-fried.

Our attacking was not strong enough. We were not able to terminate the play at all, and the ball stayed in play.

Our bats stayed alive today and we got the little hits when we needed them.

Our bats stayed on fire. I was proud of the way we played in this game.

Overall trade was quiet as most players stayed on the sidelines to wait for direction from investment funds.

Overall, I was pleased with the way our pitchers stayed in control and our approach at the plate. But our defense got sloppy on us in the second game.

Our feelings politically about war have stayed the same. We have a general code, we don't really talk about it.

Our supply chain stayed functional with little disruption, ... By Monday, Sept. 17, cargo planes were in the air with parts and completed systems to fill backlog orders. We prioritized orders for groups affected by the attacks and agencies providing relief. We provided systems and technical assistance to get them running as quickly as possible.

I think he really took his conditioning and strength training seriously this year and stayed with it. I've seen him more in the weight room this year than ever.

I think he thought I was going on my backhand but I stayed with my forehand.

I think he was running out of speed. He knew a couple of our guys were coming, and he had to shoot the puck. I read that, stayed there and held my crease. It was actually a pretty easy save.

I think I looked up once and saw five hits (on the scoreboard) and four were home runs. The two, Ramsey and Burford, both had two strikes and I thought they really had a good approach. They stayed within themselves and they got a pitch they could hit and took advantage of it.

I think most of the choke points stayed pretty clear this time around (in yesterday's rains). We know where they are, and we watch the weather forecast and try to be out there in advance of those things.

I think everybody played well. We had a couple of moments when we made mistakes we wouldn't have liked to have made. But we distributed the ball well, the outside hitters hit respectably, we blocked some balls and played some good team defense. We stayed pretty focused, I thought.

I was tired of waiting. I had to get ready for the game. Now, if I had known we were going to get beaten 11-2, I would have stayed and gotten the ring.

I was very happy. We were going against the number one team in the league and I think we stayed with them the whole time.

I was very impressed. He seemed to get stronger as he went along. He stayed in his delivery.

I was extremely pleased at the teams' overall performance. It was very hot and these players stayed focused and took care of the business at hand.

I was getting in position to throw to second when the ball stayed down. I just didn't get the hop I was anticipating. After it hit the top of my glove, I was just trying to make sure I could get one out. I don't know if we could've turned the double play, but I would like to have found out.

I think our team focus was much better this time. When they made a run, we stayed calm. And we did a lot better job of shutting them down inside.

I think G-MU got into our heads a little bit. I thought we came out with some good intensity to start the second half. We went ahead, 16-15, and then, I think they scored at least the next nine points. Our intensity stayed the same and their intensity went up. When they got the lead, we just never came back. We just started getting long faces.

I think guys are getting more confident. We're shooting the ball better, yet the defense has stayed pretty consistent. We always felt like we could go to another level as a team if our shooting would all of a sudden kick in.

I think he basically stayed the course. He had a game plan going out there.

I think he came into this season as someone who flew under the radar. That certainly wasn't the case with us, but I think it was with opposing teams. He's had some nagging injuries during his career that haven't always allowed his talent to come through. This year he's built himself up and the injuries have stayed away.

It does not mean that there are not major countries that have not stayed outside the treaty, including our own -- the United States. But we believe that we will eventually get every nation in the world on board ... because we keep monitoring their activities ... and we keep the pressure on them every day.

I think of everything I have been through... It makes me see how blessed I am. I've done real hard labor, working as an electrician and stuff. I was out of basketball, working labor jobs to make money. I could have stayed there, done the work, and made a pretty good living for my family. But I couldn't let basketball go. I had to see this all the way through, and I am glad I did. You will never hear me complain. I have nothing to complain about. I've been on the other side. I know how it is in the real world.

It felt really good. I was kind of hurting the last 100, but my splits stayed even the whole entire way. I was definitely happy with the way I split it and the way I swam it. And I was also happy with my time. It was my best time.

It feels good to be part of the reason why you wanted to come here (FSU) in the first place. We'd all be lying if we told you the last three years were easy. But the fact we've all stayed together and have the opportunity to bring it back is definitely exciting.

Just to go in there and hack away at it is the key to that goal. And we stayed with it. It was easy to get frustrated after missing the amount of chances we missed. ... Just keep grinding, keep working.

I think the one thing that should be talked about more is our guys' will and passion to win. They've really stayed focused on winning. ... We really didn't get a lot of breaks. We had to grind it out and find a way to win.

I think that they went out there a little tight, but that's actually not surprising to me. This was their first national championship. I was really proud that they stayed on their feet. They didn't have to count a fall and they fought hard for things.

I threw it and it just stayed up there. It was an error.

I think it's the maturity level of our club. I think we've shown that the last little while. We've stayed with it. We haven't turned into individuals, we've just tried to keep banging away.

I think we came together as a team in the last couple games. We played the No. 1 semipro team in the country and we stayed with them almost the whole game. There's something to be said for that.

It happened so quick, ... I stayed close to the foundation. I was dodging debris. It was loud, like a roar. It pinned me against the foundation. I didn't know what to do.

It got cold in December and stayed cold. Temperatures have been relatively warm since January, with not a lot of fluctuation. We've had a negligible number of potholes to this point. But remember, we've made a lot of improvements to our roads.

I think we just stayed within ourselves and didn't let any of the fans get to us. We got some turnovers and converted ... It is great.

I think we stayed hungry. But ... we can't put ourselves in a position to be down 20 (points) to be able to start playing basketball.

I think we've stayed fairly consistent in our approach. We play the same system in Manchester. Bruce Boudreau coached there for seven years there and coached the way we like to coach up here. And now that Jim Hughes is (there), he's doing the same thing.

I thought our defense stayed pat the whole game, ... Kobe's a great player, but some nights the ball doesn't go in the basket. He just had an off night.

I thought our defense was good the whole game, our guys stayed under control, they didn't turn the ball over much and we rebounded well.

I thought our guys did a good job of staying aggressive the last couple of minutes. We probably didn't make as many good decisions as we needed to be making in that situation but, overall, when they made their run and got back in it, we stayed with it. We pushed it back out there and made some free throws at the end. I'm happy with the fact that we had only seven turnovers and the job we did on the boards.

I thought our players really, really stayed focused. Even when (Butler) took the lead at the end, they had a very positive attitude.

I think you just focus day to day, week to week. He's been the first goalie in the past. He won't lose his focus. He'll play another 10 years in the NHL. Game-sharp is just puck after puck (in practice). Since his last game, he's done two hours each day on ice. I think it was a good spot on the road. Sometimes, when you've stayed out a long time, it's better on the road.

I think I stayed very focused and very patient throughout the whole match, ... Even when I was 4-1 up, I was playing really well at the start. I was moving around, just from side-to-side, opening up the court a lot.

I think it all started this summer with him. This was the first time he stayed here. He worked hard, worked hard on his routes. He has clearly improved his route-running.

I thought we had a great defensive effort. The kids kept their poise whenever they were being very deliberate with the basketball. They stayed very composed.

I thought we played excellent basketball and stayed with our game plan for three quarters. We've got kids that don't have enough playing experience. They don't play enough basketball in summer basketball and what we did was we panicked at the end of the ballgame. Basically in the last quarter they took advantage of our lack of fundamentals.

I thought we competed. We wanted to play a certain way and for most of the game, we tried to play that way. We stayed and fought as well as we could. But the percentages catch up with you.

I thought we did a great job. They never gave up in this game. They bounced back even after a home run from the opposing team. The stayed focused and played excellent defense. We didn't lose out confidence and we didn't lose our heads. We just stayed focused and figured out what we had to do.
