Corey Kline
He's always full-go, giving his full effort, ... We feed off of that, especially the younger guys, when we're tired and beat up, he's still going full speed. You have to pick up your effort to mach his.
Robert Geathers
It wasn't the fact he didn't want to come to the Chargers, it was the fact he was like above the league. Nobody's above the league. If you get drafted, you need to be happy with where you're drafted. A lot of people who don't get drafted would love to. He's the No. 1 pick, and he's crying about it.
Quentin Jammer
May the devil make a ladder of your backbone - While he is picking apples in the garden of Hell.
Old Irish Toast

Bill Hosack
It'd be a shame if they got laid off over there and got put out on the street for x number of days or months or whatever. So it's good we can pick them up, you know, we're busy and we can use them.
Tom Pierce
My goodness, I would hate to be picking it for a living. I've never seen parity like this.

Preston Wilson
I let them pick one, two, or three, depending on what they want.

Chris Minaker
Even if there's a pick-up today in job creation, we should not see a real improvement in delinquencies until later this year -- there's about a six- to nine-month lag. But I clearly believe the employment market plays a key factor in delinquencies.
Keith Leggett
We can force them to cover the entire city, instead of cherry-picking the good parts. They often don't want to go into low-income areas.
John Bryan

Isaiah Stanback
You have two proposals equal in cost. You're never going … to know what funding is available until you pick one and ride it hard through the process.
Jim Willett
Basically, we're not in sync. Guys are doing their own thing. We don't have a flow to us right now, and these teams are picking us off.
Rashard Lewis
You'd be picking a … fight, though. Iran is a sophisticated country, with a very sophisticated leadership. It has a range of retaliatory options that are extremely unpleasant.

That's the theme so far, being able to get used to each other as a team, and picking each other up. We have a good team and that will happen.

I don't think there is going to be any impact on the consumer, even long term. If Delta goes out of business and Northwest goes out of business, someone is going to pick up those flights. Someone is going to jump in and help those customers.
Dr. Matt Willen
There's no reason we shouldn't pick up the ball. If we have guys that aren't picking up the ball, we (have) enough depth that we can replace them in the lineup if we have to.
Joel Barta
You pick up your chair, and move to where you want to listen.

Our history is not a history of the marginalization and exclusion of women. Our history is a history of the empowerment of women. We're not trying to invent something new. We're trying to pick up where we left off.

He was picking on them, actually.
Terence Newman
David is more central, he moves less and it is easier to pick him out.
Patrick Vieira

Dave Altman
If they don't get everything on the first round, we're asking people to pick up what's left and put it in the empty can. We're catching up.
Paul Johnston
The idea is to have the stage strewn with music from all the major songwriters and to let the members of the audience just pick their favorites.

Marcia Hellman
Northwest employees should not pick up an inordinate amount of the fuel costs.
Mark Mcclain
When she's on, she's just unbelievable. She's an all-around athlete. She can jump high and has very good hands. Plus, she's picking up some good techniques along the way.
Adam Owlett
When you play Westwood, the game is defense. They don't let you score much so we had to pick it up.
Ben Leiker
It's not like we're going to sit here on this one and rest on that for a while. We've got to pick back up on Wednesday and come back at them and keep grinding. Because we battled today.
Brad Hawpe
Guys get hurt and other guys have got to pull their weight and pick up the slack. We don't make excuses. Obviously we are better when everyone is healthy.

People have a preconceived notion about who I am and it's interesting. It's like picking who you want to win for the Oscars and not seeing the movie.
Amanda Bynes
We focused on picking ourselves up, believing, playing hard, and playing together and being unselfish. We had kids diving all over the floor and making one extra pass to get a lay up. Our adjustments weren't X's and O's, but in motivation and believing in ourselves.
Paul Gerycz
Coach called a timeout and really fired us up. He just told us to go out there and pick up the intensity.
Natalie Hawkins

Stan Twardy
They have a right to pick and select who they want...and that's what I'm sticking by- their decision.
William Cotton
Right now, investors feel like we're on the cusp of something. Historically, employment's been a lagging indicator. Other areas of the economy point to growth, suggesting that at some point employment is going to pick up.
Pete Boockvar
The thing is, you have to plan ahead. You pay on Monday in cash or money order and pick them up on Thursday. I know I'll be shopping for groceries every week, so I can plan for that. Christmastime is another easy way to do it.
Christina Moore
Our last pick-up on Saturday is 4:30 p.m., so anything deposited after that time will need to have the new rate of 39 cents on it because it won't be picked up until Monday.
Lester Cogollow
If your stuff is buried, please uncover it so the crews can pick it up. And don't put large items out at all.

I'm picking up the check. Definitely. She's not paying for anything.
Brandon Hadwin
We have no choice but to pick up what the state has refused to fund.
Brendan Kelly
I do that a lot. I try to pick out a new one, but not the newest one. Sometimes they feel sticky. I try to get one that feels good in my hands.
Dontaye Draper
To come here and pick up the offense as fast as he did is really remarkable. You have to take your hat off to the job he's done so far.
David Martin
It's not easy to come out and pick up your game and sit for a while. He did a good job keeping his focus and getting us over the hump to get us the team win. He's the man of the hour. It would not have been a very good night if he had lost that.
Christian Wright
Lew didn't shirk from that (criticism). He was not the guy out in front of the pack identifying the next big thing. But he was exceptional at picking the best ideas out of a bunch. ... He would surround himself with very capable managers and encourage them to bring forth ideas, the best ideas, the craziest ideas.
Roy Verley
And the Sonoma County veterans who have died in war to date have all been men. We didn't pick it, that's the way it is.

Tommy Bolt
Now they have got to pick themselves up for the next game against Berwick.

Waleed Rashidi

Pat Griffin
Dogs will be fairly indifferent to most people and pick one, and say 'That's the person I'll work for,'.
Nina Bondarenko
What I liked about our kids is we came out and we played with courage. That's really all you can ask of them -- to play with pride. It's the experience part. We only have a couple seniors. We're getting experience each game and once we get more experience we're going to pick it up.
Howard White
In front of the net, they killed us. We couldn't pick up their sticks fast enough. They were big and they kept after us, and just started scoring at will. There was not much we could do.
Brian Thomas
Charged us about $40 a month to pick-up our waste vegetable oil.
John Stokes
I finally got him inside and sat him down. I told him Cameron was just another flower the Lord wanted to pick and put in his flower bed.

The President can believe in his heart of hearts that he is picking a conservative nominee, and he can be surprised.
Tom Goldstein

Warren White
The overall picture is that the recovery is broadening and deepening. My feeling is that euro-area growth will pick up at a faster pace than generally expected.
Nicholas Garganas
I'm glad people aren't picking us to win this division or make the playoffs. That just means we're going to surprise people. I'm OK with that.
Sal Fasano
B&Q needs some market pick up. It feels like this is still a few months away. Bid hopes will continue to protect against some of the share price downside.

Mr. Grunfeld and Jordan have accepted us with open arms, ... I've had phone calls, and I've felt like was a lottery pick all over again so I feel great. We're very happy, and I appreciate this.

Lewis Mackenzie
The most important thing is picking things you love, things that give you pleasure and bring joy.
Linda Wall
We just threw out her last race on the turf. This is just so satisfying. In my career, I haven't won that many Grade 1s and now I'm starting to pick some up. It's a great feeling.
