S. Hughes Quotations | Page 2

He followed in my foot steps. He died doing what he wanted to do. He was a Marine and that's what Marines do.

I was crying. It was like my momma beat me with a bat. I couldn't get up.

Matisses and Miro's hung transfixed like rabbits in the glare of spotlights.

Pitching was our strength. We had two 12-year-olds (Kyle Hughes and Ryan McCarthy) who were just dominant. Pitching and defense is what carried us in the playoffs, and the kids played their best when it mattered most.

Regulation is a factor, no doubt about it. But it may not be how tough the regulation is, but how fast it is -- how fast can you get your paperwork through?

Part of this day really is a celebration of all of the work the motorcyclists have done. They've worked all year long - they don't let anyone off the hook.

Optimism remains, and the conditions supporting stock gains through the end of the year are still good. The economy continues to recover and the interest rate environment is still good, but I have to think that March could be a challenging month.

People love talking about themselves. Ask colleagues about their hobbies, or what they got up to at the weekend.

I saw the keeper off his line so I just thought I would chip him. It was a good goal and it gives us the three points. It wasn't the prettiest game but everyone was brilliant and the fans were great.

I think students are more comfortable contacting one another through the messaging feature on the site because it doesn't have the connotation of an e-mail. The site makes interactions much more playful and lightweight, which I think can be a great thing for building friendships or relationships.

I think different people have different things to offer. As a retired police officer, I feel I bring certain experience to the table.

Jason is a kid I grew up with and was best friends with when we were in grade school. He is just a good guy. You know what I mean? One of those good people.

Our kids, their performances are getting better. It's a young team and they are starting to put together some consistent results.

Johns is averaging about 22 points a game and a team leader in rebounds.

I'm so thrilled. This has been a dream.

It is dirty and nasty; your eyes are always full of hay and dust,

I think many people around the world do not realize the important role that faith plays in Americans' lives.

I think just getting past these Iraqi elections this weekend, good, bad or indifferent would help us,

I think it will be a big part of us winning the series. We can't let him get 40, 45 points a game. That's where I come in to keep those numbers around 20, 25 points. With that said, that will give us a good chance to win.

I think it will be considerably more. The way housing is, it doesn't matter who you market it to.

It didn't really hit me until I stood up on the podium. It's kind of a shock and I knew I had a chance, but it was really nice. It's a confidence-booster for the future.

I thought I was going to die, my legs were seizing up. And then when I could move, I started crying, I was just so happy.

I thought Jeff was in the zone today. His passes were crisp; they were on the money.

It is a tie we'll all be looking forward to. It is a semi-final over two legs, we got to one last year, we'd like to go one stage further this year.

Other than one goal he gave up in the second period, he played well,

Our team executed very well in overcoming many of the challenges we faced entering the third quarter. With outstanding progress on patent license renewals and broader customer engagements, we have solid momentum for revenue growth as we finish out the year.

Our people have been overwhelmed with appeals. And our current computer database does not allow us to create a future-year file for developing market values.

Our buses are old. We are buying 400 new buses this year. That's a one third change in the fleet. By having newer buses reliability will improve.

Our campaign has called this morning. Our campaign political strategist Karl Rove has called the individual who was quoted in the newspaper about that ad and urged that group, whoever they are, to pull down that ad.

Our continuing growth in both revenue and earnings provides a strong basis for increased cash payments to our shareholders. This represents a seventeen percent increase in our quarterly dividend rate.

Our goal is to establish better relations with private and public schools in the state of Nevada, and hopefully recommend that the Clark County School District at least gives us some temporary time to address these problems before they consider withdrawing from our association.

I was told just before I took a timeout late in the game that I had two left, but it turns out I had only one. It was my mistake. I should have checked with a scorekeeper and not relied on someone on the bench.

I think if you looked at Gilbert and Jamison and I, we all had different talents and I think it is the same with the guys we have here. I don't need the limelight; I don't need the fame or all the interviews. For the most part, I'm a laid-back, easygoing guy.

It escapes all logic. We aren't able to understand all things. It is a matter of faith ... to trust that God is in control.

It feels so great. I was a little nervous, being at the Olympics. I just had to go out there and attack everything.

Just to see them grow as a team, to join Conference USA, now in the Big East, it's great. To me, it's amazing they made a bowl game. To see where they are now, what they are doing.

It is not good at all but I am remaining positive and strong for him and am encouraged by the doctors' reports today.

I think the market has already discounted that the actual number tends to be a bit off (versus estimates), ... As long as we get something that is near estimates, the market should be OK with it.

I think it's very nice that she apologized, but in some ways the apology almost made the comment worse because she seems to have forgotten that being a mother is a real job, ... I think it's just unfortunate to try to disparage women who have made the choice of making their families a priority.

It has been a long fight but at this point we have to draw a line under it.

It has been difficult for David. He has had a lot of injuries and was coming to the end of his contract here. We have a lot of options in midfield and it was a case of looking at the balance of the squad and seeing what we need for next year.

It has been just awesome playing with these guys. I can't really describe the bond we all have, but day-in and day-out all we wanted to do was win. It didn't matter who scored or was getting the publicity. We all just wanted what was best for the team. There was so much talent on one team that people doubted we could put it together. Well, we did, and nobody can ever take that away from us.

I think we have the best two teams in the state.

I think you're going to see some sideways consolidation throughout the summer,

I think you're going to see stocks moving in fits and starts over the next few weeks, within a broader range. We're still in an upward trend, but we're going to continue to be prone to getting hit by earnings misses, or someone's forecast disappointing.

I thought he enjoyed it. He got on the ball, had a good range of passing and good link-up play as well, so it worked reasonably well.

It is so important in this time of dispossession taking place that we recognize we have one another, and we have the Lord,

I think it is a real notice of intent,

I think it's better to wear outfits because everyone has on the same thing.

I think it's fair to say that, even in the absence of legislation, we've had widespread adoption of privacy practices and policies. The private sector generally has an incentive to do things in a good way.

Went in for a biopsy and they definitely determined it was malignant.

I was nervous. I'm happy she skated well.

I was nervous tonight. I was happy she skated well, but it was hard to watch.

To maintain the integrity of the process and the confidentiality of interested parties, we are not commenting on individual discussions we have had concerning the Atlanta Braves. We will say that our initial assumption, that the franchise has significant marketplace value and that there is widespread interest in it as a possible acquisition, has been confirmed. We continue to have meaningful discussions with outside parties about a possible sale of the Braves.

Tyler placed the ball well and he has wicked off-speed pitches and that is what fooled the batters, because Cody throws harder than Tyler.

We have this exhibit of black collectibles, all donated, ... Soon we are going to change this out for an exhibit about the home itself.

We were keen to add to our striking options and we welcome the opportunity to bring Florent here.

We'll let them know, ask them to please be careful and think about maybe switching. We'll make sure they're aware there's some concern about it among Tour members.

Those kids have played so much basketball. They don't act like freshmen. Nothing seems to faze those kids.

We'll get him (Henderson) for that at practice, ... He'll pay.

We are committed to continued expense management and strategies to improve productivity in 2006. Execution in these two important areas should contribute to the achievement of our goal of improving operating margins by 50 to 150 basis points for the year.

We know she doesn't want him convicted of this murder, ... She wants him out so they can have their life together.

We didn't shoot the ball very well and Marblehead did. Credit to Marblehead, which played hard.

We did not play with any real emotion on defense tonight. Offensively, our line play was very good, but the two fumbles cost us.

I would like any role where I'm on a winning team. . . . If it's somewhere else, I think I will have to prove myself a little bit.

The amount of time it takes for a person to recover from burns varies. The usual stay is one day per (1) percent of body surface injury.

We have a lot of community support for this wonderful event. Everybody wants to reward the men and women who are defending our country.

With the entire staff of the fishing group working behind the scenes to secure donations, we're hoping to raise many thousands of dollars that will go directly to impacted families and individuals in the fishing industry.

With the (first round) bye, they (Big Blue) hadn't played in nine days and I knew they would come out aggressively. They just play so hard and so physically.

We have to make sure we qualify for Europe. We've had a great season but we haven't achieved anything.

I was on the other side of the court, in front of the Waverly bench. I had two girls guarding me.

I was proud of our team's effort. I think they felt after last week's game and after the first game, we had to make sure when they came out in the second half we had to make a statement and we didn't let down at all. I was very pleased with both sides of the ball. Our offensive and defensive lines, I thought, dominated the game. I couldn't be prouder of our effort.

I was proud of the kids. We still got a lot of work to do because we are not taking care of the responsibilities that we're trying to get across to them. We're hoping to come out and get a good week of practice this week and try to get back on the right track.

The action is pretty good considering everything. If we can basically hold up through the close, that may confirm for some people that we have set a temporary bottom that could hold up for the next week or two.

Wiping out trees is like wiping out many years or decades of a crop.

Will that happen? I don't know. Ten years ago nobody would have said NBA All-Star game would be on cable. We hope to have events like those on TNT or TBS for sure.

You kind of have to do what's in the best interest of your district and your students, and I understand that. We're going to do what we've done in the past. We're pushing forward like normal.

I was really looking to being wanted . . . to have a place to call home and finish my career out,

I was really pleased with most of the matches. What the score does not reflect is the six matches that we lost were in the third-set tiebreaker. These matches could have gone either way.

That's a tough situation going against him and not have any cushion. Being in foul trouble, you're not able to use your hands or get too close. He was able to gain an advantage, and that's all he needed.

That's because every other chromosome has a pair.

We have our first area game on Thursday. And we are looking forward to getting that underway.

That was a little unsettling, especially with Mr. Mogilny on the ice.

My coaches calm me down too. Without them, I'd probably go ballistic and not have anybody to talk to.

We have not handled success well. We have not handled prosperity well. So my message to the kids is, listen it's a 10-round fight and what happened in the third-round today has no bearings on what happens next week. That's been the mindset, and I think this team has the culture of holding each other accountable so that that doesn't happen.

We needed to get going and get warmed up. I wouldn't say we were so much nervous, but it took us some time.

Michael will be offered a new deal and we hope he accepts it. It's early days yet and there will be discussions on all points. There's a lot of things that need to be talked about but we hope that will resolve itself and Mickey will be here next season.

We believe that this acquisition further enhances our ability to serve our global broadband cable television customers.

While Cisco can't comment specifically about competitor claims, what we can say is Cisco does offer an SSL VPN solution targeted at large-scale enterprises and service providers,

Those guys are upset that they lost Game 1, but they're not too concerned. I was in that situation, and it's never over until that team wins that fourth game. What we did in Game 1 doesn't mean anything unless we come out and take care of business in Game 2.

We were 2-0 down to incidents out of our control. We got back to 2-2 and from that point I thought we would have gone on. It was a magnificent performance in the second half. We were camped in their half and created chances.Spurs will view the result as quite fortunate.

We do have some trees on the bubble that will go over, but I see more good coming out of this than bad.

We dominated in the second half and felt we did enough to win that game. We've got six games to go and we've got to take something out of every game we play.

Yeah, it's a place that I'm pretty confident from. But it feels a little more at home than the right side sometimes. At the end of the game there's some kind of focus that you get into that you really don't worry about what's going to happen afterward.

We'd rather burn the underbrush and have control of it rather than having an uncontrolled burn later on.

We were very interested in avoiding the fallacy that you can replicate on three completely different people the performance of the three other people.

We hope the change in voice and message will get people's attention and change their behavior to make for a smoother, faster trip for everyone.

We have a lack of taking care of the basketball. We need to have a guard step up and calm things down. We need to have someone emerge and take the responsibility away from our scorers.

We had to try and fight our way out of that situation and we were not able to do it. But we are getting better and I can see that every day in practice.

We've met them the last two years and we knew they were good. They're better than they were last year.
