When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all.

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
Stephen Hawking
When I say I believe in a square deal i do not mean ... to give every man the best hand. If the cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing.
Theodore Roosevelt
When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her.

Tiger Woods
Life is like playing the violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Samuel Butler
I thought she did a great job. It's too bad that we didn't hang onto the ball in that (fifth) inning. ... In order to be competitive against teams like State College, we have to play defense.
Greg Evans
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharlal Nehru
I couldn't play off people that I don't personally like.

Robert Henri
You need to play with supreme confidence, or else you'll lose again, and then losing becomes a habit.

Robert A. Heinlein
The mission of the playwright is to look in his heart and write, to write whatever concerns him at the moment; to write with passion and conviction. Of course the measure of the man will be the measure of the play.
Robert Anderson
He's a high-wire act. Sometimes watching him play and watching him fall down, you go, 'Wow! Is he going to get back up?' And he does.
Ric Wilson
I just told our team we didn't play very well, but we found a way to win. One, it's the mark of a quality basketball team to do that; and two, we get a chance to play tomorrow and play better.
Brian Hoberecht
He said, 'We think you've got a lot of potential and what we'd like to do is put you up against Gene Miles, who was playing for the Broncos', and I said, 'No way, I'm out of there'. I don't think I was really built for the game but I've always followed it.
Pete Murray
I don't know that there's been any surprise but the one thing that is evident is that his passion to play is unbridled and it's rubbed off on some other guys.
Craig Heisinger
It's always fun to play against good competition. Also, a lot of scouts will be there.
David Boykin
We just played, in my opinion, horrible that time. Of course, we redeemed ourselves against Marietta the second time. If we play like we've been playing, we should at least be able to play with them.
Robbie Stancil
At any rate, I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice.
Albert Einstein
Honestly, I love playing in games when so much is on the line. This was a big game, (Friday) night was a big game and (today) is now the biggest game.
Jason Tapp
It's hard to guard so many little guys. We couldn't play them in a zone because they were shooting the lights out. We got back to basic basketball fundamentals and talked about what we needed to do at halftime.
Pat Battle
We can be dangerous in the playoffs, ... A team that others would not want to play.
Jovan Kirovski
That's what Mark does. He hustles on every play and gets lost in the mix until he does something like score eight points in a row. That was big for us.
Dustin Maguire
We thought our offense would play a lot better. We thought we would score more points.
Jay Cutler
He's the kid who's going to take us as far as we can go. He's just a clutch player for us. I really believe that as long as his play stays where it's at, we're going to be fine.
Pete Logan
We've got a two-game win streak now. The girls are starting to play with passion and desire.
Joe Debruyne
It shows that when you play team basketball, anything can happen. And (Flanagan) played team basketball.
Beth Sauser
I just didn't make a good play. I have to get it by. The puck hit him and he ended up scoring. I probably should have taken a penalty on him.
Jamie Heward
Obviously, all us young guys have been playing since we were six or seven years old.
Lleyton Hewitt
The more I play there, the more comfortable I get.
Chris Gomez
We wanted to play consistent and serve well.
Keith Drake
I don't remember much of the second half. I really don't remember the play. I don't remember who hit me, how he got the ball, if he had the ball.
Jon Brockman
They?re playing very well. They?re a challenge. It?s going to be a battle.
Mike Brendlinger
We're going there to play and kick their butts.
Tamar Kvaratskhelia
You can't look past any of them. There isn't an easy day, and you better come to play or you will lose. We told the kids we need good pitching, solid defense and timely hitting. It is that simple.
Roger Davidson
The campaigns can bluff a good game and say a state is in play when that state really isn't in play. These advertising dollar decisions tell us what they're really thinking.
Joel Rivlin
Webster is always a fierce competitor and they're playing at home.
John Schwan
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Kahlil Gibran
It was a good defensive performance, a good pitching performance. We came out and got the early lead and the girls just relaxed. We played well. Hopefully it's just a sign of things to come if we play defense like that.
Luke Wesneski
We have 13 seniors and a good group of freshmen. We dealt with injuries last year, but I think we'll be OK. That's why we want to get to Florida and play some games.
Jami Isaacson
The photographer began to play an important role.
Boris Kossoy
We are a good team, but we are not a cocky team. We know going into every game that we need to play our best, and tonight the kids came out and did a good job of executing the game plan.
Keisha Brown
The girls have started to turn the corner with their physical play. It was a complete 360 degrees from their last performance.
Jason Bowen
Kids playing sports should be about learning the game they're playing and having fun doing it.
John Tuozzo
Anybody who leaves the gym tonight is going to say this team played hard. Did we win the game? No. But if we play this hard, we?re going to have a much better chance. That?s what they can control.
Tim Hopley
It's an equal playing field now. You'll only be responsible for your percentage of the liability. What they did before was always wrong. You may be 90 percent liable, and I'm 10 percent, but because I've got the deeper pockets, I end up being 100 percent. It just doesn't work.
Carol Dover
We were playing not to lose. Whenever we play not to lose, it means that guys aren't being aggressive. It means we're slowing things down.
Andre Barrett
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.
Albert Einstein
If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
Albert Einstein
Coming down to the wire in overtime, it was a fun game to play in, with all this atmosphere and fans and everything. Our team had great composure and great poise, and I'm just proud of everyone on the team.
Will Figures
The facilities are unbelievable. It's unbelievable how well maintained they are and how picturesque they are. The players in our area are just so fortunate to be able to play in places like those.
Ronald Vincent
They'll participate more. They are playing better and practicing harder. In different setups they help us; Auburn does a good job running the ball and after that they pass it, but the main thing is both of them have been getting them better at practicing.
Tracy Rocker
Coach (Sam Mitchell) made adjustments and we executed well. It's a matter of us playing how we know how to play.
Darrick Martin
I bet if it was a fraternity house, they'd have it, ... I'm upset. If it wasn't just blacks playing, it would be there.
Jay Johnson
It'll be important for us to come back and finish the record after the tour. Playing for so many people, it's an opportunity not a lot of people get. You got to be smart about it.
Lee Campbell
The noun of self becomes a verb. This flashpoint of creation in the present moment is where work and play merge.
Stephen Nachmanovitch
Whenever we play Lee you know they are going to bring some intensity with them. I was pleased with our effort.
Scott Hodkinson
We're all just gonna have to play how we have been playing.
Katie Jones
In another 10 years, lacrosse will be what everybody's kids are playing.
Gary Husmann
It was great doubles and could have gone either way. It's tough to lose the doubles, because you always want that first point, but we're playing well, and now we just need to win four singles matches.
Lesley Sheehan
Hopefully, later on down the line we can play them again and give them a run for their money.
Jarrad Henry
We started really well. Playing on the road isn't easy and getting a good start is so important and we really did a good job early on. We didn't maintain the intensity, but after a start like that, it is tough to keep up that level.
Curt Fredrickson
No surgery will be required. I'd like to say we're hopeful that Ross will be able to play against Colorado, but it probably leans more to being doubtful right now.
Vic Miller
We cannot play with fire. We have warned from the start that the ibis should not be here. Now it is nearly too late.
Matthieu Vaslin
We know it will be hard match and we know how they will play against us, but we showed last year what can happen.
John Jeffrey
I don't see anybody who can beat us when we play our best. Does that mean we'll win state? Only time will tell.
Steve Segadelli
It's going to be tough with their fans. No one expects us to win, but we have a good shot if we play well and they play down a little.
Nate Roberts
That's a huge advantage going into overtime knowing we're on the power play. Basically the game was in our hands at that point, and luckily we capitalized.
Tom Preissing
We're in the playoffs, but we're not looking ahead. We'll have to play well on Friday night against Harrison Central. They will be ready to play. they have a good team.
Kevin Burdine
Women are playing more, and playing more intensely.
Robert Monaco
We've got some pretty emotional players, and they play hard. But you've got to play smart.
Steve Miles
I've been very fortunate to play with some great players. It's special to get to play in a lot of those situations.
Shea Weber
It's tough when you have only four defensemen, you [as a coach] can't do anything about that. And if we had any more forwards healthy, some guys that played tonight aren't playing tomorrow.
Kris Waltze
Division I basketball was my dream in Poland. Not too many people get the chance to come to a school like UT and graduate and play for a legendary coach. I have great thanks for being given this opportunity.
Daria Mieloszynska
It's fun. I like to play. There's a lot of laughs.
Tanya Potts
He's playing a lot, and when he plays more often, you can see that he's a really good goalie.
Henrik Zetterberg
We'll get prepared for Minnesota, who has to play Friday and Saturday, and they have to come into a rested team.
Chelsea Baker
And so faith is closing your eyes and following the breath of your soul down to the bottom of life, where existence and nonexistence have merged into irrelevance. All that matters is the little part you play in the vast drama.
Real Live Preacher
That play was the turning point. Brittany's a finisher, and she has a left hand like few girls have.
Karen Garmon
I feel like I was closing the chapter on the whole New Mexico thing. The motivation was definitely there, with a guy I used to play for, former teammates.
Jamaal Williams
Right now it's a squeeze play for oil industry, ... But if they can get by from here to February, I think the coast is clear.
Fadel Gheit
We kept our composure this time. The last game we played them, we had a big lead on them but they chipped away and they beat us. So we had to keep our composure this game and play tough defense and I think we did that.
Jacqueline Johannes
I won't play for a penny less than fifteen hundred dollars.
Honus Wagner
We had some good pitching and the guys hit the ball really well. We got some other guys some playing time and it was a good game.
Mark Larsen
We just didn't play very well tonight.
Carmen Hines
(Lamar) drilled us at our house last year and we challenged our players to put out a great effort tonight. We didn't look pretty but we made the play we had to make at the end to win the game.
Johnny White
We had trouble navigating the ball around the floor and had difficulty scoring and if you can't score, it doesn't matter how well you play defense, because you can only hold people for so long.
Jerry Radocha
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.
Andre Malraux
Playing music is what I do. I do what I do because I see God work in the music I make and it draws people to Him.
Shawn Mcdonald
We don't play to the scoreboard. Every possession counts, no matter what the score is or who we're playing. We're just trying to get better every day. By the looks of it, that's what we're doing.
Megan Myles
I just feel like we are playing as a team, especially on defense. That's made a huge difference.
Shanna Briggs
Working as a bookbinder, I had put covers on "The Lord of the Rings," but I never read it. It was just too big. I finally read it when I knew I was playing Pippin and realized that really it is all about Pippin and some other people!
Billy Boyd
Not having scored was in the back of my head, but I just had to keep playing my game to finally get that weight off my shoulders.
Peter Mueller
You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play.
Warren Beatty
That's how we're going to have to play all year.
Chad Bankston
It was huge for us. That's the kind of thing that the team works so hard to just to come to this day right here. So it was a huge play for me because ... I really owe a lot to the team.
Aundrae Allison
That might not have been the shot, but that was the play we wanted.
Amy Taylor
Leadally, we won the game in two areas. We controlled the speed of the game. Panmure like to play it very fast but we worked hard to settle that down and we won it in the goal circle.
Julie Roberts
These girls just love being part of a winning program. I get a lot of girls who can't play other sports and they excel in this one. It's just a great group.
Joe Rinaldo
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.
Rogers Hornsby
Play and pray; but on the whole do not pray when you are playing and do not play when you are praying.
Charles Williams
We're going to play connect-the-dots with the sidewalks.
Steve Carroll
It will be very important to play alongside Raul because I know him so well. There will be more of an understanding with him than with someone I don't know and I will be more relaxed.
Fernando Morientes
We go against (bigger players) all the time. We just have to play through it and continue to play hard.
Jarvis Jones
A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
Allan Beck
You are ready to play with peoples' money in your political battles. What if after you win your next battle but hundreds of people line up in front of banks?
Donald Tusk
I just said, 'Welcome back, good luck'. You don't need to say too much to him. Don't let him think, just let him play instinctively. He's just a positive guy with an innate love of footy. And having him in a team environment, guys just feed off his enthusiasm.
Morgan Turinui
To be a part of the celebrations is great. Obviously there's nothing better than playing, but hopefully by being a part of that and seeing the other lads' reaction to success, it will act as motivation to go on and win things for themselves.
Rene Meulensteen
Kaila was amazing. She really came into the game focused and ready to play and it showed. She was one of the keys.
Sheryl Krmpotich
They recognized Mike playing like a man. He just goes out and does it, they recognized that.
Dave Hansen
He made Zach look bad, which was probably a bad thing, because then the next time he got on base, Zach made him look bad. But he learned from that. He's fearless. All of our kids are playing hard.
Danny Mitchell
The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of all, but it is the most difficult to play.
Richard Strauss
It was hurting but when you're out there playing you don't think about it. You just play and do everything you can.
Bryan Lowry
Don't think we'll live or die by the big play. We have some guys we feel like can make plays. We have big-play capability. We feel like we can move the ball if we have to little bit by little bit. But we would rather do it in big chunks.
Chris Hill
It's fitting in a sense, that's the image that we have of O'Connor over the last 24 years. She's leaving the bench, right down to the last minute playing the role that she has become known for playing — being the middle of the court.
Stephen Wermiel
We wanted to get out on them quickly and we started out with intensity. We wanted to take control of the game, and we knew we had to play for four quarters, not 18 minutes.
Miranda Tate
Most of my kids have been up there before. Even if they didn't play, they've experienced that atmosphere. Both teams will have jitters. Most of the time it comes down to which team gets over them first.
Jeff Haile
I am excited mainly about the reaction of the audience more than anything else — I love playing my instrument, but I really get excited about the reaction from the audience.
Michelle Pohlable
We are inviting all the girls who are interested in playing to attend as the selection process will start from then.
Charles Husbands
I have been playing club with Darla for two years and it was exciting that we both had the opportunity to come here. We have connections on and off the court.
Kayla Wright
We're not playing hardball here, ... We've got to make sure that we're spending our dollars wisely. If we come in with too little, too late, and they look at the agreement that we're drafting and that's unacceptable to them, then we'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it.
Craig Taylor
I like playing somebody who has to apologize to their kid, all the time, for screwing up. That seems really real.
Julia Louis dreyfus
We've definitely talked about playing O'Gorman again, especially since they beat us in districts. We're looking forward to getting another shot at them.
Teresa Case
It was a good win for us. We played to win instead of playing not to lose. It's been a nice rebounding effort for us, especially defensively - we did not give up a lot of second chances.
Paul Deacon
This has been frustrating, but as a team, they're playing with good effort. If they keep going, good things will happen in the future.
Joey Kalmus
I think immigration will play a role, ... What role will it play outside the border? I don't think it will be one of the top three or four issues.
James Duffy
We typically have four to five people in double figures each night and that's made a tremendous difference. They're just playing better together.
Sandy Botham
I'm done playing tennis for today, ... I don't know how I got through that match. I don't know what's going on right now. I'm a little foggy, a little dizzy.
Robby Ginepri
Hopefully, he'll work himself in there. That depends on him. He's going to have to play better than the guys in front of him.
Bill Young
I know they feel they can play with those teams, and I think they really feel like they can win them. We just have to be smarter at the end.
Cathy Inglese
All grades get about 10 minutes where they can go outside for a supervised snack and play on the monkey bars or slide as long as there's no rough-housing.
Willie Brown
We got out of a lot of jams. They put the ball in play but we played pretty well defensively. We were happy.
Bill Wallace
In the future, it will be a vibrant village center where people will live, work and play.
Chris Norton
Robin has good inside moves. He knows how to play the post. He can handle the ball well for a big guy. He was taught very well.
Shea Scarborough
We had a good talk (as a team). We're definitely playing too far away from each other on the big ice. We've got a lot of leadership on the team. We do have to step it up. We have to step it up and play with confidence. Going two games with no goals doesn't mean we can't score.
Vinny Lecavalier
I think he can have fun with players, but he can also jump their (expletive) when he has to. He'll go up and pat them on the back, but if you make a some stupid, idiotic play or don't hustle, he has no fear of walking down to the end of the bench and letting you know it.
Doug Melvin
We have a great post presence and are physical inside. Now hopefully we will continue to play well.
Mark Swanson
It's going to be a breakthrough year for this team. We're not just playing the games just to play. We're playing for the playoffs.
Rashean Mathis
I just got an opportunity to play (receiver) today and I seized the moment. I don't get 'em often so whenever I'm gonna get the chance to go out there and do it, I'm going to try and make the best of my opportunity.
Keith Stokes
I think they're both excellent choices, especially where Pittsburgh picked them up. We expect they'll both have a chance to play for the Penguins.
Blair Mackasey
No violation of the labor agreement inherent in the club's decision to pay Mr. Owens, but not to permit him to play or practice due to the nature of his conduct and its destructive and continuing threat to the team.
Richard Bloch
When I was growing up, we always had music playing in our household. I enjoy spending time with my father singing.
Patti Brooks
I thought we played like we were capable of playing. We were upset with how the game went (Friday). It's a 48-minute game and we only played 24.
Scott Padgett
We came out too tight. We were finally ready to play (in Game 2).
Don Noorda
Tiffany is one of the most athletic players to come to LMU in recent years. She is dominant in the air in both attacking and defending moments. She can play anywhere from central defender to forward. She will be a big part of what we try to accomplish in the next four years.
Gregg Murphy
Amy will be playing a big role. All of the distance swimmers will be coming back next year and with her contributions it should make for a good season.
Steve Paska
If that was an issue, I hope we learned our lesson with St. John's. Every night out in this league you have to come to play.
Robert Mccullum
Entering the stadium, I will think about both my parents who are not here anymore and who have never seen me play. I will think about friends and everybody who helped me through injuries and hard times.
Danielle Goyette
Fort Dodge gave us some chances with fumbles. It was back and forth, but it comes back to making plays. On that fourth and inches, we thought about taking it outside, then the play clock ran down on us and we didn't get it.
Brian Woodley
This was a good overall effort. It was the kind of thing we've talked to our kids about all along: Focus, focus, focus. If you make a bad play, you forget about it and make the next play. If you make a good play, you forget about it and make the next play. It's always about what's next. We don't want the kids to lose that focus.
Don Harvey
We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. As general manager, I just can't figure out where else to play.
Pat Williams
It doesn't matter whether it's Saturday or Sunday. I'm not used to playing in one of the final groups. I'm more the middle of the pack.
Briny Baird
It helps when you have a group of girls that can play together and communicate on and off the court. If we didn't, it would definitely show on the court.
Lasheena Brown
Gulfport and Harrison Central is a big rivalry game, no doubt about it. They have a good team and are playing well. We'll have to play well to win. It's tough to beat Gulfport at their place.
Ricky Stone
We're excited by the proposition of BAX playing more of an aggressive role in developing Toledo Express airport as a freight hub.
