Steve Smith Quotations

More customers are now taking the opportunity to generate their own electricity, which can help them save money on their electricity bills.

One of the first things I did when I got here from New England was check to be sure we carry Ray's Bagels.

On paper, they're better for sure. But the measuring stick would be getting to that championship.

When I came in here he was very instrumental in teaching me patience and understanding the game. He did that constantly and laid back sometimes when I was having a rough day. He had that big-brother mentality.

One possibility for the future is using waste cardboard from the community to run the boiler. Taking cardboard from the area and recycling it into fuel would be a win-win situation for everybody involved.

One week you're playing, and the next one team is cleaning out lockers and going home.

I don't know. Everybody wants me to speculate. I can't speculate. The natural thing to say is, 'Yeah, he's going to help us.' But time will tell.

I got hit out of bounds a little late, and as I was trying to get up, someone pushes me back down. I grabbed the ref and said, 'Hey did you see that?

I got so upset about some of this stuff, I just put it away. Not a penny. Not a penny. Promises for half of it, that kind of stuff, then not a penny ...

I grabbed the first gun I could find and started firing. They planned on taking us out, I think. That's the way I figured because they never said a word.

Since we've been advertising, we've grown from a virtually unknown to the most recognized car rental company.

She hits big shots. With three minutes left, I told (USC-bound senior Hailey Durham) we had to get her the ball because you know she hits big shots.

Seattle is a very admirable team. They're very experienced. Everything that team did today was superb.

On a Friday night, we'll go through a whole case of asparagus.

I have a one-track mind. I was not taking the hitch. I wanted to go for the goal.

I am totally in shock and bewildered. I don't know how I am going to take care of my patients. Some are dying right now.

Frankly, we wonder if (the NCAA) ever read some of the original documentation we filed in the first place.

From our perspective, things are absolutely moving in the right direction.

I can already sense there's a difference in this group of guys just because of what last year's group did. I think that will show up in timely hitting and execution and being able to play the game without fear.

I get out of bounds and when I'm getting up, somebody pushed me back down. I grabbed the ref to get his attention to say, 'Hey, did you see that?' You are not supposed to touch the ref. I understand that. I wasn't doing it to put him down or anything like that. I put my hand on his back. It was a gesture.

I enjoy playing the better players out there.

If a physician has higher costs than the revenue they bring in, it may be a blessing if they move their patients to our competitor. As an organization, we work very diligently at creating the best environment in our service area for our patients, our medical staff and our employees so when a physician moves his practice, it is at risk of reducing their patient load or the quality of care provided to the patient. We endeavor to work closely with our medical staff by providing data or resources necessary to develop positive outcomes for all. My personal desire is always to provide physicians with whatever product they need to practice but in return, we ask for their support in dealing with vendors in such a way that not only allows the physician a choice of product but also afford us a fair return on investment.

I don't think I've been a 'yes' vote in the past, but I definitely am this time and I think we have a good chance of getting this one passed.

I get upset when we're not moving the ball, when we're not operating as an efficient unit on offense. If I don't get the ball and we're winning, I'm still happy.

Business there is not quite where we'd like it to be, plus we've had some pretty exciting retailers looking at the property.

But that was different because they were cheering for both teams. We had about 80 fans out there (Saturday night). Usually I can hear my wife, but (Saturday) I couldn't even hear her.

We talk about it all the time. We're trying to be the most dominant position on the field.

I look forward to seeing everybody. As far as what goes on with that, that's over and done with. It happened, but he and I are going to be out there ready to play.

I look for every edge I can get. I'll do anything not to be a failure.

HP selectively bid on areas where we know we can do a great job and where focus was on core areas of importance to HP and GM.

He can play either position equally well, and I don't often say that about guards. I hear that and when I see most kids, I think they become one or the other. He can honestly play either. And that helps.

He did catch the ball, but I wanted it more than him.

He's by far the best arm in this league.

We're privileged to help in the celebration of Tocqueville's 200th birthday. It will be great for Yale students to hear leading Tocqueville experts share their views.

Part of his strength was people underestimated him. He didn't look athletic, wasn't large in stature and had an unorthodox swing. He hit every ball with a hook but knew where every shot was going. He didn't hit long but kept it in play and he was a good putter. He was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

Our mission is to work prisoners in a businesslike manner. If you work in a businesslike manner, you have to make a profit.

I saw Ramirez flat-footed and went for it. He needed to make a nice throw and he did.

I saw Ramirez flat-foot it, so I went for it. When a guy doesn't get behind it, I feel like I have a chance, so I went for it.

I will be bringing some Michael Jordan with me if Chad is out there.

Just having fun. I don't make excuses. All I know is that whoever's lined up there, when they throw the ball, I've got to catch it. If you line my mom out there, I've got to catch it over her, too.

Last time we played them I had 14 (catches) but we didn't score. All I heard all week long was what I didn't do. We were ready for whatever they threw at us.

People are concerned about the impact on teen safety. I don't think they want to go back to back alleys. They are also worried about unintended consequences.

Man, that official overreacted. I've grabbed women in much the same way and ended up dancing with them. Not once was I ejected. And they were all a lot prettier than he was. Some of them even cost me more than the $15,000 the NFL fined me. I guarantee you I won't touch an official next week, although I may 'accidentally' bump into one while running a pattern.

It does, but it doesn't. A lot of guys who were here two years ago, that was their first time dealing with it. Everybody has to handle it differently. Absorb it, enjoy it, but at the same time don't let it take too much of a hold on you.

It'd be a concern if he's never played second base, but he was an outstanding second baseman. All he needs to do once he gets there, he's going to work on it a little bit on his feeds just to feel comfortable.

I think that kind of set the tone. It just showed them that it was going to be a long game.

Rodney is a headhunter. He's a free safety. I think he is ... one of those guys who is going to come down and hit the running back in the mouth, knock a tight end out, knock a receiver out. He's one of the guys that, when you are coming across the middle, he's going to hit you, so you have to concentrate.

I was thinking about that. If I have a good game, we lose, and if I have a below-average game, we win. But however we can get a win, I will take it.

I still haven't gotten a chance to get that yet.

It felt good to be out there today. But I think there were a few more things I could have done to help us make some more plays.

It feels good. It's just more meaningful to do it this way. Instead of not knowing who I helped, we will know these people in 30 days.

I think the offense was there, we just weren't able to finish our chances. We hit the post twice. We had one goal taken away. We've been around two years and that's the first game we've won in the final five minutes of a game.

I think they will target others. This is a test to see if the community will stand up to them.

I thought we had a chance to score him and had a good read on the outfielder. I got burned. Manny had a nice throw to the cutoff man and it was a bang, bang play. I don't feel too good about it right now.

It cost us more to buy the components and put the computers together than to just buy the computers whole. We could not compete in that market at all.

I thought we were pretty special last year, then the injury bug hit. I think we could do some nice things (this year) and this game showed we're trying to work hard and build off where we left off last year.

It certainly looks good for us but we have to be cautiously optimistic at this point. There's a long, long way to go.

I thought they were the best team in our league at the end of the season. I would have picked them to win the league this year. I thought about it. But I didn't want to do that to them, to Tim. So I picked them second. Being at Baylor, I wanted to put the onus on Texas, right?

I wasn't trying to be demonstrative and all that stuff. I'm not trying to put my hands on the ref or get physical with the ref, that's not my style. I know I'm going to get fined. I'll deal with it and move on. It's my first time ever getting thrown out of a game.

We can support the restriction of sales. We just think we can do it behind the counter without needing a pharmacy. Not all our stores have pharmacies, and there are still some folks that use the drug for its legitimate purpose.

You know what? We're the only team in our division in the playoffs now. That should tell you something.

We have witnesses coming in from out of state.

We can't keep records. We would love to. We would love to pay taxes.

I was open, too, if Dwayne wasn't open. I think I would have made the play, too.

I was really making fun of Red Fisher.... I called him the man who thought that nothing would bore you. He thought it was his job to fill the half hour, it was your job to make it interesting. And I thought, 'Oh boy, that's something I can do.' I took his character and started fooling around.

We have a very strong team and we'll do just fine this year.

When it rains, it pours. All you can do is put your buckets out in the house when it's leaking and try to do the best you can.

When it rains it pours. That about sums it up.

We do want the best teachers and the most qualified teachers in every position that we can get.

Without a doubt, there was no question which tournament we'd be at this year. We've got a great team this year, and we're looking forward to showcasing it at the best, most competitive holiday event in the country.

We were much better. The kids worked really hard. They have been playing golf since they could get on a golf course in the spring. I'm about ready to tell some of them to go home.

We do not feel that this kind of publication serves the university well or the students.

We put all our weight around one spot. As a campaign they are stronger than the sum of their units.

We have so much at stake. If something materialized that we tried to change the ball at all, it would ruin the company. Our reputation is on the line.

That was important. I woke up every three hours last night because I knew what might happen (if NCH were able to build an early lead).

We have re-enactors who devote years to studying Scottish history and traditions, and we just let them bring their own wisdom.

We're anxious to build some new stores in that market.

This was a super win for us. We knew Tampa Catholic's game was to run and gun and shoot the 3s. We knew we had to attack on offense and keep the pressure on.

When Hailey dials in, she has this attitude that she hates to lose. She got the hot hand, and we kept feeding it.

The experimental forest program will allow for research not only on restoration of forests and things of that nature and watershed enhancement, it will also provide time and space for commercial applications.

We argue at times. He gets mad at me. I get mad at him. It's almost like two women.

We want to provide appropriate education for all students, no matter what the student needs. I think all of the districts in the county are really making a concerted effort to serve kids as much as they can in the regular classroom.

We'll be focusing on Scottish heritage in America.

When we go from single core to dual core, and dual to quad core, we get huge performance increases. When you look at the power efficiency and the response of the computing workload, you get the benefit.

Using wolves really fits the mission of a national park.

University officials and tribe members are working together on the appeal. We were heartened by (Tuesday's) news, and we think it's the right decision. Frankly, we wonder if (the NCAA) ever read some of the original documentation we filed in the first place.

We know how good we are. This game that's coming up will just give us an indication: can we rise to the occasion when we need to?

When you lose, you always feel like you've left a win out on the field. I just think we didn't make enough plays at the end and that's when it really counts. I'm not going to point fingers, except to myself. I think if I make a few more catches, I think we win. If there's anybody to blame, put it on my shoulders because I think I can take it.

Twelve and five. That's a big difference. You can say what you want about us, but we can play.

When I started racing here he was the benchmark, and he still is, ... He did it a little different than we do now...he did it on his own. I still have some work left...I'd like to get to that 151 mark if I could do it. The 10 win mark at Lincoln is another goal this season I'd be proud to do it...we'll just see what happens.

Everybody just thought it was a foregone conclusion.

At that point, you're in a dead-end valley. Where are you going to go?

The whole of the local rugby community has gathered around to support Martin.

We're thinking because of the scale of the last several protests, they're moving too fast.

We're thinking of Hawaii. You just can't look ahead.

The suite has the ability to be divided into two rooms as well for smaller groups. It has the same amenities as the other suite but on a single-game basis.

The second suite has a country club-type atmosphere which is appealing to businesses if they want to entertain clients or reward their employees. You have a great view of the playing field, it's an exclusive-type area where they will be able to network with other businesses and the ability to provide an upscale meal and bar during the game. It's really a great option for many companies in terms of its value.

We must also look at whether some county positions are warranted, whether some of the full-time positions should be part-time. We also have to look at the courthouse in general. Are there too many employees?

There will be times when you can see from the look on his face, that even though Greg is sitting there, he's really somewhere else. You might think he's taking notes on the sermon, but he's actually writing musical notes. Sometimes, he'll disappear and the next thing you know he's back with copies of music in his hand that he wants us to sing. He has a lot of trust in us as sight readers.

It was too steep. The irrigation water ran too fast, and we couldn't control it.
