I'm hoping that we have a better mix of horses and trainers to improve on last year. I think we have more horses here ready to run than last year.

Dan Doocy

We're going to have to do something about the fossil fuel issue. I don't think the earth is going to continue to give the way she has the last 100 years.

Chris Cain

I'm the last guy left. That's what happens when you live to 84.

Harold Russell

We last heard from him around the first of the year, although he tried to call us last week but we weren't home.

Patricia Flanagan

He was kind of on auto pilot for the last part.

Tom Farnquist

He's been a consistent player for us. He had an excellent year for us last year. ... He's just a gritty player.

Andy Runzi

Angel (Cabrera) was in tears last time because he didn't make the team.

Brian Baker

It'll be an honor and a privilege. I've thought about this since the beginning of the year. Heavyweights are last out and what better way to end it for coach (Bill) Archer.

Ryan Cook

We'd like to win these last two games to finish up the season with an even 7-7 record.

Flora Jackson

They come out and played very good defense and made it hard for us to get catches. There post defense was a lot better then it was the last time we played them and that was the huge difference in the game.

Pryor Orser

We got behind the last time we played Meridian and ran out of time. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

Sheila Smith

We want to show the grower how to cultivate a better quality and longer-lasting flower, because this is what the customers want.

Terril Nell

We just overworked. That was what happened to us in our last tour.

Fergal Lawler

He's a huge member of our team and without him in the last year we wouldn't have won a lot of the games so he'll continue to be a big player for us.

Michael Vaughan

The last big group I had wasn't this weekend, it was the weekend before. Eight, maybe 11 people.

Michael Parks

Today is the final day, and the last chance to discuss the draft constitution. We hope to reach an agreement that would satisfy everyone.

Mahmud Othman

Why can't the average citizen? That's what I've been promoting in the last several years.

Buzz Aldrin

Wagner has made us a much better team than we were last year.

Tom Glavine

Last year she was an average to an above-average setter. This year her setting has tremendously improved.

Catherine Young

It's very unfortunate. The city of Wilmington has been working hard the last 10 years to bring the convention center to fruition. ... Now it's in jeopardy...

Dale Smith

I had a pretty good idea after last weekend's competition. It wasn't a complete surprise.

Jana Lindsey

I'm telling you, my heart was beating in my throat over the last four holes.

Thomas Aiken

I think we were really focused last weekend. Hopefully we can carry that off one final weekend.

Steve Mullin

I anticipate that as soon as those last few units are rented up, a waiting list will develop.

Tina Sumner

I'd say he leaning heavily that way. It's changed just in the last couple of days.

Teddy Dyess

The level of activity has been building up the last month or two. We have a very strong pipeline headed into 2006, as do most of the M&A law firms and the investment banks.

Frank Aquila

The city of Cincinnati has a lot of problems it's facing now with crime. This is the last thing the city needs right now.

Phil Burress

We've been drifting for the last two hours here, with no real selling or real volume.

Bart Barnett

It's a great feeling. We've never been 4-0 since I've been here, and I can't tell you the last time we were 4-0. Our kids are playing a full four quarters.

Bob Schellinger

The American Film Market gave us a big gift last year by moving to November from the end of February.

Beki Probst

We want to continue what we did in the run game and get back to the Knox College-style of passing which we didn't get done last year.

Andy Gibbons

Last of the Mohicans.

Thomas Cole

I thought if I birdied those last two holes, I could win. Unfortunately, I don't always hit my 5-iron that great.

Allison Hanna

We're prepared for this game. Last year we were just happy to be playing. This year, we want to win. I know we do.

James Shuler

I don't know what people see in Denver. They'll be battling the Raiders for the last slot in their division. I don't see greatness at all.

Sean Salisbury

By its very nature, the novel indicates that we are becoming. There is no final solution. There is no last word.

Carlos Fuentes

His fall has already begun. I don't think his regime will last out this year.

Abdel Halim Khaddam

I wasn't tired. I just wasn't fooling anybody. They were hitting pitches they were missing earlier in the game. I got behind on a few people ... and just couldn't put away that last out.

Jason Vargas

Beating Lake Norman was huge last year. Their aura of invincibility vanished.

Steve Stith

It was a tremendous win for our kids and it's always a big deal around here when we beat Jasper. The kids are so excited about getting things started with a win. They're not really getting the big head about it either. We've had a good couple practices the last two days. This group is not hard to refocus.

Dan Hooks

The end is at last in sight, but we will all need to work to get there.

Tesema Negash

What a great effort. It was a smart 60 minutes of hockey. I couldn't be more proud of this hockey club over the last two games.

Nick Vitucci

I'm used to it. That's OK. I'd like to stay home with my kids I didn't make it last year, either.

Milan Hejduk

The first four innings was probably lowest we've been all year defensively. We didn't play well, but the last three innings we came around. We definitely didn't play our best game of the year.

Craig Beesley

For the seniors, it's their last shot, so I'm hoping they're going to come out ready. This could be their last time to run, so hopefully they're going to come ready to go.

Mike Darby

Last year, we were disappointed because we didn't get in, but I think it has been good for us. From our freshman year to now we've learned.

Brittany Davis

Last year was a fairly good-sized crop. We were just lucky there was no carryover from the year before to speak of.

Bill Bitzenburg

It was a better deal than last time, maybe the best deal the workers shall get.

Dave Minshall

I got selfish tonight. This is my last Manual game so I asked them to win it for me.

Dick Isaacson

Don't forget that the only two things people read in a story are the first and last sentences. Give them blood in the eye on the first one.

Herbert Bayard Swope

We've had a lot of success with track and field the last two years.

Bill Peterson

Last year, we were 160 pounds, this year we're 200 pounds. It's a beautiful thing. Hopefully we can build on this.

Nick Kamberis

Everyone is excited, but it's hard not focusing on the one that just got away (last Tuesday at Northridge). We expect to win now.

Nick Joseph

He's been brilliant, and over the last two years has established himself as probably the best keeper in Europe.

Richard Dunne

The curve inversion is just a temporary phenomenon. It cannot last as the Fed raises rates.

Yasutoshi Nagai

We're doing fine. The fire is no closer today than it was yesterday or the day before. They expected or feared very high winds last night, and they didn't get them.

Bill Taylor

We hope to improve on what was a very, very disappointing year last year. My fans are adamant that if we're 25-8 again next year, heads are going to roll.

Geno Auriemma

Because of my service in the congressional leadership for the last 10 years.

Christopher Cox

It's mind-boggling. He's stronger from the last time I worked him.

Alex Solis

It was too many. The last bus didn't leave until after 7 p.m. It was just way too many.

Scott Kerr

She was a great player for us last year.

Frank Reed

Try seven. I birdied the last two holes.

Hale Irwin

We talked about how lackadaisical we came out last game. Coach [Willard] Coker told them they were No. 1, and I think that fired them up little bit.

Dave Robbins

We hope to beat our score last year and do better than eighth in the nation.

Sarah Lewis

Four volunteers have put this event together. The individuals who ate the most cabbage last Friday were crowned Cabbage King and Queen.

Jens Finke

We went 16 for 16 (on no-fall routines). We didn't even do that last year, when we went to state.

Ami Pysh

We do want this place to be remembered in honor of our two children who we lost. In fact, we did attempt to clean up this area because this was the last place our children took their last breaths on this Earth.

Stephanie Jones

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time.

Betty Smith (writer)

They were a lot more giddy last year. They're all business today.

Jen Rizzotti

If last year is anything to go by our flat racing contenders will also have great success at home and abroad.

Brian Kavanagh

Elizabeth's 3-pointers broke the game open. She's been doing that for the last week or so.

Greg Amundson

Hope is the last thing that dies in man; and though it be exceedingly deceitful, yet it is of this good use to us, that while we are traveling through life it conducts us in an easier and more pleasant way to our journey's end.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

It's calmer than last time. Except for Indian Wells. That's crazy.

Patrick Cleary

We won one last week like this, so we'll try to do it again.

Michael Cuddyer

It feels good to get a win in your last match. I feel like it's a good way to end my career here on these courts.

Ian Kawas

For the last 75 years we have been the gold standard for family entertainment.

Dennis Rice

She has really matured from last year, which is one of the reasons we felt comfortable moving her up.

Mike Perez

We have played well for the last month. We played well today.

Carl Lancaster

Have we slipped over the last 10 years? That's safe to say.

Mark Brazil

There was no question that we were the best team last season.

Adam Shilling

We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

William Somerset Maugham

It is entirely consistent with the findings of a Human Rights Watch investigation conducted last year.

Jo Becker

This is not about the past. People are more focused on what you're going to do today or tomorrow than what you did last week.

Roy Spence

Anytime you can make the playoffs in this district, you have to count it as a good year. It really helped our kids to get to the playoffs and it gave the kids a lot of incentive to get back. The kids stepped up with the new system. Hopefully, this year we'll be better than we were last year.

David Plunk

He came back last night focused and determined and actually ended up pinning Mathews.

Nick Umscheid

We do about 4 percent of our business on the very last day of the tax year.

Michael Debenham

I'm down to FSU and South Carolina now. It'll be a tough choice, and I honestly don't think I'll decide until the last second.

Daron Rose

After our loss at Whitworth, we dropped to 3-5. And to go into conference at 8-6 is a great turnaround. We have won five out of our last six games and we have some great momentum heading into conference.

Mike Bauer

Ryan came off the bench last year but he just continues to improve. He has good skills, is quick and crosses the ball well.

Dick Nyman

If we had won 40 or 42 games (last season) instead of 52, it would have been an entirely different process.

Wally Walker

It's going to be a weird and exciting year competing with these guys and trying to win a job here. It's either going to be something I did last year, or it'll be a brand new experience. Either way, it won't be something I've done before.

Ian Kinsler

Alan had a bumpy stretch when he was sick, but he had a really good game last week.

Graham Whitehouse

It could be my last high school match. You can't hold anything back. You can't have any regrets and you have to go all-out. Otherwise, you are going to have regrets.

Shawn Logue

We met last night and decided we needed to come and support her. We have to be there for our Mary.

Anita Whirley

All four of those guys are back from last year's team, and that extra year of experience really has helped. They know what it takes to win now, and hopefully they know what it takes to win a conference championship, too.

Charles Pattillo

But in the last two games, he's stepped up and taken control. He has great composure.

Mike Romano

The last fifteen years, were our wasted years of nationhood.

Mwai Kinaki

The totality of U.S. military interventions have not left lasting, meaningful democratic institutions.

Francis Fukuyama

We have gone to great lengths to figure whether we can make the program that we inherited from the last administration work, ... I'm here today to say that we can't make it work.

Mufi Hannemann

The best recommendation would be to contact your insurance company. Even if you're not able to get back to your car, give as much information as you can about where it was located last, and any policy information you have.

Will Perry

We're looking forward to the challenge of competing at state. Our guys have risen to the challenge the last few weeks. It's going to be exciting to see how we do.

John Mesenbrink

Just being around here, being in meetings and learning and getting coached, I feel a lot better than I did last year about this time.

Orlando Pace

Keith qualified at the last possible moment. It was very exciting because I've coached him since he was little.

Cheryl Ciorra

We had a bunch of guys out there who weren't really sure what they were doing (last season). We've got a bunch of guys out there right now that are much more responsible to their assignments, and that's why we were able to go out there and execute when we had to.

Grant Wistrom

He came back to form last time and has come out of that race fine so we are going there and doing the best we can and see what happens.

Robert Alner

For the seniors, this is our first, last and only opportunity.

Brandon Bowman

We've gotten fourth place the last two years. It would be nice to take it up a step.

Sue Loeffler

It's this last option -- the middle ground -- that's the real key.

Glen Spain

Amanda will be a force for us. She's really come along. She started at the end of last year and this year has really got it down. She snaps 'em down.

Mary Thomason

I thought I might have to be a car-pool guy or a TV announcer or something last year.

Andrew Magee

Having those fumbles in the last game was shocking, ... This isn't something the coaches are ignoring. Coach Mac was really going at it.

So Coleman

That was the last loss we had; we started to find our groove after that.

Lee Pipkin

I usually end up having to owe a little money so why not pay at the last minute? It is hard to get things done early for me.

John Leslie

We've been able to do some things because of them coming back. We went through those growing pains last year.

Denny Pelley

I did the same thing last year.

Tatum Bell

We let one slip away. We competed very well but the last two or three points we couldn't get the play.

Tony Phelps

Over the last month, I became acutely aware of how much he wanted to win.

David Dunn

It's more open. Last year, we were just bland. Wherever we lined up at, that's where we were going from.

Anquan Boldin

It looks like it's the last call for Mexico.

Laura Tyson

I wasn't expecting to win last year, so it was a surprise. I don't know what to say about this year.

Dorian Henderson

Never in my wildest dreams had I thought it would last 50 years.

Milton Levine

Three of the five guys birdied the last hole, which is a tough par three.

Todd Howes

This win is big for me. Last year I got pinned in the finals. It was good to come back to the place where I lost and win it back.

Rob Hoffman

She caught almost every pitch last year. We plan on giving her a break every now and then to let (Sarah Beth) Gillis catch a little.

Billy Lyon

I would not say we have had fantastic news in the last two days but there is a little bit of an opening in the Iraqi situation and things may be getting a bit better there.

Teun Draaisma

In the last 40 years, you've had just two coaches. Bob Karnes and Al Martin, and Al played for Bob Karnes.

Steve Marek

If she runs back to her last three races, they are going to have to run to beat her.

Robert Landry

Last year, we had fewer than 10 goals. This year, we've scored 23 or 24 goals.

Chuck Elsea

We want to make sure we protect our interests. I've got a lot invested. The last thing I want is to be involved in a lawsuit with somebody, but I'm going to protect my interests.

Bucky Wolford

She had a great year last year. She was all-state, all-district and all-conference. She did a wonderful job for us and has great leadership abilities.

Jerry Kelbley

Hull did an excellent job of coming back from his last start. He pitched a good game.

Ralph Escalona

We are looking for the owners of the cards to find out how they last used them.

Ken Hammond

In fact, that's one of the reasons that the team, most likely, was let go last June, is that we had differences of opinion on that.

Gretchen Wehmhoff

The last federation, the Yugoslav Federation, is still in our memory, in our minds, and we certainly hope that this one will be better than the last one.

Janez Drnovsek

It's never really easy, even if it's a match you should win. I pressured myself just because, you know, it was my last match here.

Ian Kawas

It's always a close game between us. It always seems to be a one-run game and this is a big game for our girls. They knocked us out last year and we want a little revenge.

Joni Vaughan

It would appear that a few weeks after the Democratic convention, the Bush team is following Kerry around again in an effort to defend the last four years and keep its base interested.

Phil Singer

Our only loss was in the last game at USC. We were up 17-0 at halftime but they came back and beat us, 20-17. And it cost us, too, because back then Notre Dame didn't go to bowl games.

John Huarte

We are definitely improving, ... Last game we could barley make a shot on goal, we are beginning to play more aggressively and get some more help from the bench.

David O'donnell

If you look at the statistics, just the number of eruptions, there's an eruption every 3,000 to 5,000 years. Since the last one was 3,000 years ago, well ...

Larry Crumpler

Joe Maddock did a good job in the centre last week and he deserves to stay in the side.

Brian Ashton

America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.

Barack Obama

He is still very critical. There has been no change in his condition in the last 24 hours.

Dr Anupam Verma

Grove City is good. It will be a battle. They match up with us relatively well. They graduated a lot of seniors last year, but it will be a good match.

Jerry Mcswords

Last month we came precipitously close to filing for bankruptcy. We were fully prepared to file bankruptcy. We're a very prudent company.

Bruce Hicks

It was an interesting game. It went back-and-forth, and luckily we hit last.

Jason Swearingen

I thought last week's game was ugly and this was even uglier.

Mike Tice

There's something you ought to know. I slept with Cosmo last night.

Pinky Mulligan

It was just two great teams out there going at it toe to toe. The game could have gone either way, but the girls made some big plays in the last four minutes of the game.

Gary Glasscock

You don't feel it's the Olympic Games because there are not a lot of people. You want to feel a lot of people on the last climb to help you. It's a little disappointing there aren't a lot of people here.

Marit Bjorgen

We will have to get better on defense because this has been our little hump we haven't been able to get over in the last couple of years. We have to play defense because Carroll was beating us back door. We have to come out with that fire in our eyes to win.

Will Hubertz

Just get the job done. We lost a tough one to them last year and we wanted this one badly.

Jim Fitzpatrick

This is a fully developed country that has held over 50 international championships in the last 10 years. If you judge them on the sporting process, they are an excellent choice.

Kevan Gosper

Voilance is always a last option, but if the dime comes for violacne it is the ONLY option!

John Gilmour

Last time we played La Cueva we weren't ourselves. Everybody had a bad game.

Will Bynum

He's working really hard to turn things around since his last incident.

Chris Paulsen

We should have won last week but ended up losing and it was a disappointment. We have got to rectify that.

Jim Moffat

It is very eclectic. That was the magic of John, though. He was somebody who embraced all forms of music over the last 40 years.

Pete Shelley

After losing last year, it feels great to win one.

Mark Chase

I can't believe how excited everyone was to see me ride last year. It really gave me a rush.

Jeremy Mcgrath

It was very exciting. The last match I had, I was just hoping to place fifth. Sixth would have been fine, but I wanted to place fifth.

Josh Humlie

I don't think it's kosher to compare with the fourth quarter of last year because that was an entirely different price environment.

John Parry

HARMONISTS, n. A sect of Protestants, now extinct, who came from Europe in the beginning of the last century and were distinguished for the bitterness of their internal controversies and dissensions.

Ambrose Bierce

The girls are excited to go out there and have a last crack at their routines and end on a great note. We feel fortunate that we all qualified ... and can do it together.

Jennifer Diebling

We left a buffer. Everyone in our group knows they haven't been practicing for the last two months to go out there and not have a good performance and entertain the audience.

Alex Mcelroy

If Doug can keep it at a 50-point game, he's got a shot. This (Lee) team is not as good as it's been the last two years.

Scott Joyner

He was probably the most improved player last year. He really exceeded all expectations.

Rich Bruneau

Last year, it was good to get that first win. This year, it's like our first season all over again.

Jim Ceccarelli

After losing last year, we really wanted another chance. Playing in this atmosphere is just one of the greatest feelings.

Brittany Rogers

The last three or four games we've had some close games, and the fourth quarter we have pretty much controlled it.

Bret Teutken

On the last match day in Europe France snatched a place in our World Cup.

Thierry Henry

We just didn't have the firepower last year. I want to be able to strike quickly, but I also want to be able to control the ball.

Cecil Ratliff

These are the last three tournaments of my college career and the most important ones. I just have to believe in myself and try to win. If it happens it happens. If not, it's OK.

Alejandro Canizares

We didn't win a league game last year, so it's kind of nice to get that win.

Jim Amato

We need to keep pushing to the last routine. It's going to come down to who has the best routine.

Mark Sontag

This is a continuation of what we experienced last week.

Darcel Kimble

Comic books would probably be the last thing on the list of what we'll do at this point. But wherever a comic book is warranted, we're more than capable of doing them.

Stan Lee

There's so much information available for women in the last 10 to 15 years, and it's out there now in magazines, on TV and the Internet.

Jo Parrish

They made the last big play.

Jim Les

The last three Engle hit was a big shot. We shot the ball pretty well tonight.

Rod Wallace

Probably in the last six months I've seen more 100% financing deals than I've seen in the last two to three years.

Brett Ellis

There's nothing better than that. We were joking around the last couple of days about playing each other.

Matt Gaski

Last year's team, don't get me wrong, was an excellent team. I think the guys are a lot more dedicated, as far as commitment, coming out and getting the job done.

Jerry Jenkins

It?s a great win. Anytime you win a district title it?s a great win. Having lost in the final last year, it?s great to get it back.

Randy Reber

The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster because of our client coming around and assisting the government to the extent that he did. I'm very proud of him.

James Turk

It's kind of like last year when we won, it didn't really hit until we went home. It's kind of the same thing.

Ryan Kalil

We're not too bad out here any more, ... Our main roads held up really well and the very last of the evacuees were home this morning.

David Emery

[to moe on the phone] Hi. I'm looking for a man first name hugh last name jass. [moe: ok as anyone seen a Hugh Jass? hello I'm looking for a Hugh Jass!]

Bart Simpson

We didn't have many big runs last year. He's back. He's healthy. If we can keep him that way. . . .

Nick Hardwick

In the two overtimes we really controlled play, but they got that last goal.

Pat Collins

He's a big guy, you know? ... I talked to him the last 18 holes, 'Come on, man, come on. Why you too slow?' 'Your bag too heavy, Uncle.' I said, 'You eat too much every night.' I'll never forget that one.

Carlos Franco

It's a reward to our kids for their hard work for the last 115 or 116 days. To be able to play a championship game at their home place, they have earned the right to play it, but they haven't earned the right to win it.

Jose Rebimbas

Is Elk County Catholic a better team than we are? They were (last) night. They dethroned us and deserved it.

Mark Rydbom

We finished about where I thought we would. We had a lot of personal records and ran faster than we did last week.

Clint Chamberlin

These programs have grown amazingly in the last few years.

Jay Lebow

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

Maria Montessori

China's foreign exchange reserves hit US$818.9 billion at the end of last year, but they should not exceed US$250 billion.

Xiao Zhuoji

She really had a great kick today. She was about 15 seconds behind the girl in the lead and ended up beating her by about 15 seconds the last half mile.

Greg Meister

I wasn't that far behind Sebastien and I was on a very fast lap when the red flag came out. But, tomorrow, everybody will be faster and we'll see what happens. I know I have a very good car because it's the same one that Bruno won in last year.

Oriol Servia

What can I say? We were not good enough. We gave a lot of goals in the last minute and that can't happen.

Robert Warzycha
