People always get tired of one another. I grow tired of myself whenever I am left alone for ten minutes, and I am certain that I am fonder of myself than anyone can be of another person.
George Bernard Shaw

Peter Budaj
The four games we've played with Miami this season have all been determined in the last five minutes. That's a positive sign.

Teresa Hernandez
At one point, we were told by Fire and Rescue that we had about two minutes or this gentleman was going to die.
Jeff Morgan
We have had great fun together. But I don't think we played inspired the last 40 minutes. We just played, not with our hearts. We didn't want it as bad as they did.
Irving Garcia

Kathie Davis
It was all about comfort. She feels very comfortable there and she has a great opportunity to go in and play significant minutes.
Tim Parrinello
He said we had infield in five minutes and I was starting. I was surprised a little bit but I was happy. I got a little nervous and said I've got to strap it up now.
Denard Span
If you eliminated about three minutes of this game, it would have been much different. We were doing what we wanted to do, and it was 6-5. We got away from it for about a minute, and the score got all the way out to 16-6.
Chris Pack
We're experiencing species loss at 1 every 15 minutes, and that's a conservative estimate.
Todd Tubutis
You could watch for 45 minutes to an hour and never get bored.
Bill Goldberg
I didn't expect to deliver a baby in the parking lot. It happened in about 12 or 15 minutes, and it was over with. It happened so fast I didn't have time to think.
Jack Adams
In the first three minutes of the third quarter we took their will away.
Andre Walker
The wheels came off for thirty minutes.
Dave Moates

David Hartwell
It took like 15 minutes.
Lorenzo White
I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!
Josh Groban
It's one of the hardest hits I've seen in a long time. I knew he had a concussion. He was in another world. For the first few minutes or so, the look in his eyes, the way he looked at everyone, he didn't know what day it was.
Reggie Perry
I called him and told him to turn on the Pentagon Channel, since (the children) were going to be on in five minutes.
Jennifer Hanson
If we come and play for 48 minutes the entire game, we can compete with anybody. We've got to come and play hard every night and hopefully we can get out of this slump.
Jarrett Jack
It was definitely a good experience, getting a NBA type coach and being able to play 30 minutes a game. Going from college basketball I wasn't too accustomed to the style of play in the NBA, so being there helped me out a lot.
Dwayne Jones
Competitive for 90 minutes.
John Ellinger
It's about seven to 10 minutes from my house. I just love being at home, and my family wanted me to stay at home, too.
Brandon Bass
Conditioning is a big thing. We have this tendency to play 30 minutes of a 36 minute game. ... Half of it is conditioning, but then half of it is just the mental intensity to play the entire game.
Dane Moody
We all found some big fish. I think you'll see the record [of 8 pounds, 9 ounces for the biggest bass caught in the Classic] broken in the first 10 minutes.
Mike Iaconelli
I said, 'I want to talk to someone big,' ... Ten minutes later, we were with the battalion commander.
Scott Lewis
It's more of a sprint. You've got to get up to a certain level and hold it for four minutes.
Dave Horton
It takes 10 minutes, start-to-finish.
Mike Daniels
There were about three minutes there in the second quarter where we kind of unraveled. That really hurt us.
Mike Brewster
It's really intuitive, ... that if a cigarette goes out after a few minutes rather than continuing to smolder, it will cause fewer fires.
Paul Koretz

Dennis Smith
On a good day, when the trains are on time, I can get to my job in about 35 minutes, ... It's not a bad commute at all.
Sandra Davis
I think we have to play 48 minutes. We have lapses on offense and on defense.
John Wilkinson
It's still hard. I had to wrestle my hardest for the full six minutes. I gave him all I had. That's what you have to do with all of these matches.
John Pycraft
The fender-bender was induced by the paparazzi, who chased her for 45 minutes.
Marcel Pariseau
This was a great hockey game. Both teams played hard the entire 60 minutes and you couldn't rest for one shift.
Terry Ruskowski
I think we could have finished better. That wasn't us in those last 10 minutes.
Tricia Binford
The difference in this game was depth, we were able to sub some people in and out and wear them down a little bit. The fact that we're getting some decent contributions off the bench and people are able to hold down a spot for five or six minutes to give people some rest is a good thing for us.
Tim Haskins
It's important with the style we play that when we give our non-starters minutes that we don't have a letdown and continue to play at a high level. We definitely did that tonight and got great contributions from everyone.
John Wicks
We basically spent the game trying to dig out of a hole we dug in the first 20 minutes.
Breanne Watson
We played 32 minutes of very good defense. We attacked in the fourth quarter, and Arielle Powers played incredible defense on Sam Cutting.
Deb Rathburn
We have given up some leads in the last minutes of games. You just can never quit.
Sheldon Souray
The last five minutes of the first half and into the second we just couldn't score.
Amanda Van Voorhis
If they could just walk out of the house and get on the bus every 15 minutes and not have to wait because I don't like to wait.
Franz Kolbjornsen
When you're playing a good team, you need to play all 60 minutes. Not 45, not 50, not 53; you need to play all 60 minutes to get a win.
Derek Miller
That's encouraging to me, ... A lot of guys here emerged and showed they can be great players in this league early. Whether I play a lot or play a little, I don't know. But I'm going to go in there and try to earn minutes.
Ryan Gomes
It has head-to-toe benefits. If you laugh 15 minutes a day, you'll be 4 pounds lighter by next year.
Mary Mullen
You talk about believers. We wouldn't go away. I was confident down 19 points. I was confident against Metro with two minutes to go yesterday. This team never stops believing.
Melody Stewart
It was awesome. More importantly, it was great to put in 60 minutes. But, getting that monkey off here was awesome, too. Now, we know how good we are.
Tracey Kelusky
In the next minutes, I heard four gunshots.
Stephen Katz
I have an elderly congregation. For some people, to even get out of a chair is a major effort, and they deserve credit. If they do armchair aerobics, for every 20 minutes they get one mile.
Nancy Evans
The illusion is that help (from the federal government) will be there minutes later, which is really not the case.
Irwin Redlener
Normally, I get the head count when they're about 15 minutes out, ... It's hard to get an adequate and precise count.
Roger Allen
We got stops for the first six minutes of the fourth quarter. Our kids played great defense.
Kelly Cooper
Those first four minutes we came out really flat. They went on that run, and we never recovered.
Cyndi Valentin
Have fun, knock down some threes and see what happens in the last four minutes.
Mark Trakh
I told them to forget the last 16 minutes and go out and play hard for the next 16 and try to make it respectable.
Rob Shepard
We made them play their starters big minutes. That's what you want, but their starters are as good as anyone in the league.
Mike Woodson
I never had a minute's problem out of him as long as he still lived with us.
Bill Dalton
I think we did what we needed to do for 40 minutes of basketball.
Craig Rasmuson
We should have won the game or at least got one point. We let it get away with four minutes left. We had a good game, but the breakdown at the end cost us, and we have to put it behind us.
Radek Bonk
If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'
Jeff Foxworthy
It's going to be 32 minutes of tough basketball.
Travis Tucker
That's where we want to be. We need that for 80 minutes instead of 15.
Robert Logan
One of the most common problems with the generator is it's never run. You actually should run it every month or every other month ? just fire it up and let it run 15 minutes.
Bret Kohles
It's a good feeling to get minutes, and that's why I came here. I was just trying to stop Yao and step in front of him and just couldn't.
Darko Milicic
All that changing of plates and flapping of napkins while you wait 40 minutes for your food.
Hugh Casson
We got what we deserved after our first 20 minutes, so we have no complaints ... it isn't going to change anything now.
Craig Bellamy
I've got the music going really loud, especially when I've got that last five minutes of working out and I just really need to crank it up a little bit.
Carla Kelly
I feel like, mentally, I rub off on all these guys. Come that last five minutes of the game, we're ugly because we've got that face on us.
Casey Moore
I'm thinking if there had been another 15 to 30 minutes, our butts would still be in there.
Peter Kovacs
The most pleasing thing about the game was to see Gareth come through 30 minutes unscathed.
Keith Alexander
We really fought and scraped and finished the first half well, which we hadn't done of late. But the first few minutes of the second half – they were just too much.
Beth Burns
There's seven minutes left, so there's always a chance. Unfortunately, we couldn't get any more.
Jason Duda
One neighbor said they saw somebody enter the building (on the day of the fire) with something in his hand — a flashlight and what looked like a toolbox. Ten minutes later, the neighbor heard an explosion and saw flames.
Lt. Pat Joyner
As much as you give is what you're going to get back ... Don't expect to sit down and run through these things in five or ten minutes.
Mary Barretta
We've handled that problem. Anthony and I talked between ourselves for 45 minutes without any coaches. It won't be like that Sunday.
Anthony Davis
The first two minutes of the second half were the most important. That's when we played our best.
Amy Donovan
We wanted to impose our will on them early. We thought the first five minutes of the game were the most important. We had good ball movement, we shared the ball and we got a lot of good looks.
Kermit Carolina
I give them a lot of credit. Each guy has been good at different times to get us where we are. They've played a lot of minutes.
Rocco Sansone
I was in for 10 hours and had 40 pints - beating my previous record by 20 minutes.
George Best
If we were up on them by 30 points, I'd still be going deep on them with two minutes left.
Jeff Mitchell
It's literally a physical challenge for him to sit still for a few minutes, just to sit on the floor and play with the boys. We're still so new at this.
Trisha Leseman
I am not a doctor but during the one hour and twenty minutes' discussion, he looked fine in my opinion.
Kantathi Suphamongkhon
Three goals down, 16 minutes into the game ? it was just too much to come back from.
Keith Tiemeyer
That's definitely the biggest home run of my life. For five minutes afterward, I didn't know what I was doing. I was on a high for five minutes. I barely remember running around the bases. When I got in the dugout, I was being a maniac. Everybody probably thinks I'm crazy.
Bobby Kielty
Getting a bye is very much a goal right now. We're fighting fatigue, because we're not used to having a lot of players on the court for 35 minutes.
Samantha Stovall
We knew it was going to be a close game. Even when we were down nine with five minutes left to go we weren't scared.
Cory Davis
We really don't have reserves. We've been playing a lot of kids a lot of minutes, so it doesn't matter the situation. I've got a lot of confidence in them.
Robin Selvig
He'd be crazy to come around here today, wouldn't he?. There was a police car at least every five minutes or so.
Tom Frazier
I thought we did a much better job in the second half, the last 10 minutes of not giving them more second-chance points.
Terri Schumacher
We have a template. Twenty-two minutes.
Allan Watt
We figured we needed to hold them off for at least five minutes. You don't expect them to tie it less than a minute later.
Dave Fryer
The first five minutes of the first half and the first five minutes of the second half are pretty important parts of the game. We did a good job of extending the lead in the second half.
Matt Siegle
We stayed with them for 30 minutes even though we had only 10 players on the field. But in overtime it may have caught up with us.
Chris Baca
We gave away some bad goals at the start but, if we play like we did in the last 40 minutes, we will be OK.
Jaroslav Spacek
This is a job, but a job I love. For the 20 minutes (I am in the ring), I do not feel the pain.
Little Kato
I think it helps for sure. I also think it helps that we're 15 minutes up the road and Copley is an hour-and-a-half away. That's got to be an advantage.
Dan Trease
I played 25 minutes and 35 minutes in two games. I shouldn't be tired. I'm tired of getting scored on.
Martin Brodeur
The black hole is unable to eat all of the available fuel in one go, so instead it digests it over a few minutes, ... It's a bit like feeding a baby - sometimes it takes big mouthfuls and sometimes little ones.
Paul O'brien
We have 10 minutes of continuous footage. It feels like a movie.
Brandon Hunt
We said at half-time that we had played poorly but we were 10-10 against the reigning champions. So we knew that we could go on and win the game and we did that in the 20 minutes after half-time.
Chris Paterson
We kind of have a thing about not playing longer than 30 minutes if we can. When I go to a show, my mind starts to wander about 20 minutes.
Shawn Miller
Losing Solomon for the last four minutes of the game was huge for us. We are not very deep so we don not have the luxury of having one or two of our better players getting in foul trouble.
Robert Mccullum
We have a ton of respect for Steubenville Central. They play the game of football as hard as they can and you know they are going to scrap for 48 minutes.
John Magistro
We've been off at different points during the day for sometimes ... for no more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time. They are trying to fix some things with our transmitter.
Bill Sanders
We have to be able to play 40 minutes for two halves. We played about a half today.
Brian Schibi
The young teams that get down a couple of goals, they try to force things to make things happen. Where maturity knows you're going to get it back in the next two minutes.
Manny Legace
I think the last 12 minutes of the first half we carried the play, we had them back on their heels a little bit.
Paul Sands
We had the ball with two minutes to go and 70 yards to go and we had a shot to tie the game at least. We were very happy with the way our kids performed, but we need to be a little bit better on defense.
Mike Curtis
We knew we had 16 minutes of ball left and unfortunately for us, they played better in the second half than we did.
David Galvin
We won't replace mobile phones with this product. But we are looking to replace some of the minutes customers use on their cell.
Louis Holder
Our classes here at Williams are only 48 minutes long.
Clara Potter
The fact that they're being delayed . . . whether it's two minutes or five minutes or 15 . . . I can only assume that's going to have some impact.
Catharine Burt
You fight for four hours, 20 minutes... I already lost two tiebreakers. I never played a match that was so close... to go out like this is tough. What can you do?
Olivier Rochus
In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.
George Best
I think with 12 to 13 minutes left, we stepped up our level of play. We were in a lull in the first half.
Scott Schumacher
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
Points are hard to come by. Four-nothing is a pretty good lead, but with five minutes left to go, you just can't sit there and not wrestle.
John Prezzia
A lot of guys are stepping up. We are deep in that a lot of guys are coming off the bench and giving us good minutes. This is one of the deepest teams in the four years I've been here.
Will Craig
We came back and went up with about four minutes left in the game. Our press made the difference late in third.
Bruce Hess
That was the first game we played about 28 really good minutes of basketball. It's probably the game that got us into gear.
Wayne Cafferty
It felt like 15 minutes.
Mathieu Garon
Four minutes. That's too long.
Craig James
It took me 45 minutes to get out of the (Rogue Valley) Mall the other day.
Alan Deboer
It feels like I just played 32 minutes. I've got to sit down.
Carlton Valentine
About 20 minutes later, the suspects drove by and took one shot at them.
George Roosevelt
With aerocapture, it's done all at once, ... You have a heat shield...you do the maneuver, and in 30 minutes you're in a circular orbit.
Charles Johnson
We probably dominated for 70 minutes out of 90 tonight.
John Adshead
I just couldn't believe there was that many germs on my hand, I had just got finished from washing my hands a couple of minutes ago so.
Kerah Pearman
Within five minutes, he was in excruciating pain, drawing his knees up.
Dorothy Jones
Carriers need to focus on, and have, different skill sets. Carriers are focused on minutes but for data you need to look at KB and MB. It's a different mindset and mentality and we are evolving our business to capitalize on that.
Don Boerma
So the ideal thing would be to play a tactical game and have those selected go for the entire 90 minutes.
Charles Mhlauri
You've got infield in five minutes. You're starting.
Jerry White
Anytime you lose a big guy that gives quality minutes would have a great effect in the series.
Siot Tanquingcen
Two minutes at a board meeting does not substitute for an active participation in this decision.
Lorie Barzano
Brian and Jake really gave us a lift in the second half. We played well except for those first couple of minutes.
Mike Costello
I enjoyed about 25 minutes of that game. For that time we matched the intensity of the Florida Lady Gators. But at that time their energy stepped up - probably because of the mistakes we made - and they were consistent.
Carey Green
Overall it was a hard-fought game for 80 minutes by both teams.
Jill Bigelow
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
The guys played with a championship effort for the entire 80 minutes. I felt like we came out strong and just kept the pressure on.
Chris Griffin
I just wanted to stop him, so I can get some trust (from) my coach and get some minutes. If I was able to get a stop, he might put me in the game in more situations.
Tony Allen
To beat a team like that you have to play 32 straight minutes.
Andy Nickerson
All I can do is what's in my control, and that's play my way. That was just, 'Good job, way to get two minutes.' I always expect somebody to come after me.
Ryan Hollweg
We got passive in the last 15 minutes, and (Lake Norman) picked up the pace and finally broke down our defense.
Steve Stith
I got a kick on my calf after four minutes in Sunday's Premiership game with Newcastle and now the calf is like a dead leg.
Fredrik Ljungberg
I was so happy when I looked up and saw two minutes left on the clock. We had been up all game, but we never let them get even.
Lonnie Bartley
We were lucky. Five more minutes and there would have been a lot of people killed or hurt really bad.
Bruce Hardy
We played extremely well for the first 40 minutes. We basically controlled the first half, and scored two goals.
Steve Towne
He's having a great meet. He will only have about 45 minutes of recovery between races (today), but he's a tough kid.
Tom Rutledge
It was really frustrating for the first five minutes of the game. I just felt we couldn't get into a flow. We were getting shots, but we couldn't get into an offensive rhythm.
Debbie Merrill
Ben was great. The energy he played with for 56 minutes was unreal.
Flip Saunders
You want to cover a mile in about 20 minutes. That's not a window-shopping pace.
Mark Fenton
You should have heard him 10 minutes ago.
Betty Smith (writer)
The longest 30 minutes of my life. To see that signal come back when it was supposed to, that jazzed me.
Steve Jolly
There's nothing I can do but go out there and play, whether it's five minutes or 30 minutes. I can't worry about that.
Vladimir Radmanovic
That scared me. But he does so much for us, playing almost 40 minutes, that you can't be mad.
Josh Dollard
Some things just work better at 21 minutes than they would at 90.
Lisa Chang
To get 3,000 students through two doors in 15 minutes is an impossibility, ... The University can figure out that you can open more doors. It doesn't take much to do it.
