Kari Williams
Politics is a rough trade and I can take it with the best of them. I have demonstrated I am capable of taking the worst of blows, even when they are almost so ludicrous as to be bizarre, but I do draw the line at families. I always have. I try to keep my family out of my politics as much as possible.
Iain Duncan Smith
Southbound Interstate 55 is really rough. I don't think $ 20,000 would have fixed it all, but it would've been a drop in the bucket towards getting it fixed.

He approached every game the way you should approach every game and he really tried to help others out. Not just by example, he would tell you. I remember being young and asking him about going through rough streaks and say this is what I'm doing. Mark didn't have to be a goalie to be able to relate to what I was going through. He was an athlete and a competitor and he could give you advice.
Mike Richter

George Bennett
[? He's learning how to deal with rough patches.] We go through tough spells, and it's up to you to take something out of it, ... Some people take the good out of it, some people just fall off the radar. I've taken something good out of it, and I really feel like I'm knocking at the door right now.
Freddy Adu

Delbert Teille
My teachers treated me as a diamond in the rough, someone who needed smoothing.

First quarter was rough. It took me a while to get in the groove. Second and third quarter, pretty good; fourth quarter was all right until that last play right there. That was a killer.
Shane Steichen
Ridge had his third foul in the second quarter (at Franklin County). J.C. had two in the second quarter and our backups had two on them. We played through a rough situation on the road and a lot of guys stepped up to play.
Bobby Martin
Aren't the artists brave to go out and paint a sea as rough as that? I don't see how he kept his canvas dry.
Ruth Draper
We had a really good effort on a small field. We played on their football field and it was bumpy and rough in the middle. We had to dribble on the outside and it was tough to score in those conditions.
David Weiss
You've got to take the rough with the smooth. It's like love and hate, war and peace, all that bollocks.
Brian Wright
I could have done without a few years in the middle there where I was really struggling to pay the rent. That was rough. But, hey, that's a cheap price to pay to be able to keep this hobby as my job. When I was 11, I liked making those airplane models. And then when I was 12 and 13, I really liked listening to records. It was the next thing and I got to hang out on this one. I'm still there.
Matthew Caws
What we found was that we could realize about one-third of the rough potential suggested by the computer analysis. So the net was we could trim 5 to 7 percent from the overall cost of this family of parts.
Nelson Jones
As in nature, as in art, so in grace; it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their luster.
Thomas Guthrie
He's had some rough outings, and didn't get ideal support. He's got his legs in better shape now. He's a crafty lefty.
Jeremiah Robbins
He had a rough go. All that disappointment and anguish, all that time spent on the DL. I really admire what he's done to try to get himself back where he was. This year, you see a relieved guy, like there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Keith Lieppman
This is where the thugs hang out over here, huh? It's rough over here.
Ko Simpson
We started out a little rough, but we stepped it up in the fourth quarter. We wanted to win. We wanted the bragging rights, but we all were looking forward to this game.
Ben Alexander
We had some extraordinary people here back in those days. Those miners were rough and tough, but they had hearts of gold, too.
Howard Tritz
We had a rough start. I had a rough start. They knew they needed to win, so they came out hard. Fortunately, we came out on top in the end. That's what counts.
Andreas Lilja
This puts a lot of pressure on us. It is unfortunate, but that is the way it is. It could be pretty rough for students.
Paul Brinkman
There hasn't been dissension, there hasn't been anything like that. And I'm very thankful for that. That can take place, especially with a rough season.
Matt Bryant
You can hit some great shots into the green and end up 12-foot from the pin, just off the green in the rough and, instead of looking for birdie, you are struggling to save par.
Hennie Otto
I kept giving up runs. It was, for sure, a rough road and a very rocky one. I enjoyed my time there, but not as much as I could have if I would have pitched well.
Billy Koch
We can still stabilize the situation and make it right, but there's no question that this is a rough patch.

[In the fall of 1995, the first group of hunters stayed.] It was pretty crude, still being in the construction phase, ... The hunters didn't care. They didn't mind roughing it.
Judy Parker
I will try my best to win again, for the Asian Tour. I came here before the new year to practice and the course was playing easy. But when I came here on Monday, it looked different. The rough was very thick and I think it'll be very challenging, especially if you miss the fairway.
Thongchai Jaidee
I hit a 3-wood into the left rough, then I hit a dead-cold shank with my first iron of the day. I thought that wasn't a very good omen.
Briny Baird
The rough is very, very difficult and the course is long. Very long. It won't be a problem for Tiger, but it will be for a lot of players.
Hank Haney
We definitely needed this one. We've had a rough preseason and with the tough teams we faced last week, these are the games we need to get.
Keith Rickard
He's had a rough go of it. But he's got great spirits. He's a real fighter.
Brian Marshall
There's a part of music that cannot be reduced to words on a page. Even the records are just rough drafts for what happens on stage.
Dave Marsh
The result of that supply/demand imbalance is what I like to call The Perfect Storm, which is a very strong, robust outlook for rough diamond pricing.
Peter Gillin
It was a rough weekend and it's not indicative of our season, but I don't know, sometimes you get the bear and sometimes it gets you, and I guess it got us. I'm still very proud of these guys.
Stephen Nichols
We knew our talent level was better than we showed but everybody just had a rough day all at once.
Alex Hamilton
We had a very rough 2004. You try, but your heart doesn't be in it.
Mickey Harte
In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.
Michelangelo Buonarroti
Yeah, but I'll be working as a marshal. I'll be helping your team find all the balls they drive into the rough.
Seve Ballesteros
It was a rough week at the office. We were outplayed. I can make a few excuses, but the bottom line is that we got outplayed.
Leslie Davis
He got banged up during the meat of our schedule and he had a rough time coming back from the high ankle sprain. That's the one piece (to the offensive puzzle), if you were to look back, you'd feel like we haven't utilized him to the fullest.
Paul Chryst
I've been advising our cities for two or three years that we've been getting close to the time when we would need to adjust those rates. That's the first time they've been adjusted (for more than 10 years). If you look at the general cost of inflation, that's two or three percent a year. In concept, that's some rough estimate of the cost of doing business.
Hal Morton
It's a good-sized development, so there'll be enough rough for a large number of tenants.
Dale Scott
It was rough. We pretty much had to drag the horse up 400 feet of the side rock to get it back up to the top.
Dennis Shipley
This has been very rough on me and my children.
Sarah Stewart
We had some fish located, but we could only reach a couple of the areas due to the high wind and rough water.

Sir William Drummond
The pitchers are doing pretty well, but we're having a rough time fielding the ball.
James Barton
Today was kind of rough because we had to play those three games in a row.
Nathan Sell
Does rough really matter? I don't know. It was still Tiger and John Daly in a playoff at the end. They're two of the longer hitters on tour and two of the worst in driving accuracy.
Arron Oberholser
I was overwhelmed -- you just don't see kids read like that. I asked them where they went to school. They said Grosse Pointe Academy, so I came out here and checked it out. It's been a rough go, but they've helped out a lot with financial aid.
Greg Jolly
It's rough. The kids deserved to win the way we've been playing. Tonight, we just didn't execute as well as we have been, and give credit to Groves. They played a real good game.
Warren Lawrence
Last year was a rough year for everybody and I think with the players Bob has brought in as a new coach, I think we're going in the right direction. The atmosphere and tone we set for ourselves from Day One has been pretty high. I think we're starting to get there and every day we're going to get closer and closer.
Brad Guzan
Everyone has heard of a diamond in the rough. It's rare to encounter those diamonds and know you are in the presence of goodness. He's a quiet individual ... but when things were hard and hectic and we had hurricane overload, he did his best to assist us.
Mary Wormington
I was little impressed with this rough and ready way of persuading people to renew their contracts and decided that I was now quite free of any obligations.
Pietro Mascagni
We knew we were going to have a rough time. We lost a couple of close bouts. For the most part we wrestled hard in front of a very hostile Mesa High crowd.
Dan Southard
To see him ski is to see fluidity, as if he were a droplet of water trickling down a rough plaster wall.
Peter Stark
Defense sets the standard for our game. The refs let us play a little rough on defense, and that's the way we like to play.
Chase Dickens
It certainly helped today, because [my] fastball command wasn't there, ... I was up with [the fastball] all day and wasn't really able to get ahead. I just think that was something that kept them off of it a little bit. If that changeup isn't there, I think it's probably a rough day.
Brandon Mccarthy
When you change your offense, there will be a transition period and you'll have some rough spots. I was fairly impressed, for asking them to make a change in two weeks. It was a great job.
Cathy Alexander
It was a rough few weeks.
Roxanne Steele
We just had a lot of miscues early. We've had a lot of issues and we've lost some players. It's been a rough start to the season. I think it was just a case of us getting cues and figuring out where to go. Once we did that, we were OK.
Laura Helm
There were a couple rough spots. Now we just have to wait until the awards.
Kelly Grow
A little shaky. It was really, really rough. We started out with such a deep hole. We had mistakes that were uncharacteristic.
Rhonda Faehn
In pure technique terms, Britain is now one the best nations. It's been a rough ride but things taste better through adversity. It's a nice feeling for me, great for the coaches and the kids who have done the job. It certainly answers the critics - and it's only going to get better.
Bill Sweetenham
He wanted to buy me a Cadillac. But I only saw hard men and rough women in those cars. So he bought me a Buick.
Leila Smith
She's still a little bit rough around the edges. She would rather just hit the ball and be happy instead of leading the team. She'll need to embrace that role.
Vashion Johnson
I was kind of surprised because the way the wind was blowing, I thought there would be some concern about the possibility of rough waters.
Rob Pimental
This is a very rough time for us, but we must obey the law and the rule of law.
Armando Gutierrez
It got me on the bill of the helmet. It wasn't an ear hole shot. It didn't drop me. But it frightened me a bit. I'm off to a rough start this spring.
Chad Moeller
[But Herbert says the de-clawed bear never gets too rough and will back off if he shouts] No! ... He knows when to stop.
Daniel Herbert
Somehow, a forklift ran him over. It's pretty rough. He's a father. He's just a good guy.
Sabrina Webb
The next time the bills come, I'm really going to have to think a lot about even paying it. I'm just so tempted to just rough it and go without.
David Stout
We went 2-3 in this rough stretch.
Tim Reuter
It was a rough decision. I just really felt the miles between us.
Joe Ginnane
I just stood there swaying back and forth thinking I was going to die. It was pretty rough.
Barbara Platt
You're going to go through a rough patch through the next six to 12 months. Inflation is going to be boosted by higher oil prices. There is a clear upward trend.
George Buckley
It's going to be rough ... a different transition. I've grown up with these boys.
Allie Woods
The night hours were rough. Those jobs didn't last long. I went to graduate school at TSC and received my Master's Degree in counseling.
Tony Mormile
It was rough. When the shots went up, it was football out there. We just tried to dig down and get stops at the end.
Julian Wright
If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain't enough!
Shel Silverstein
(Jocelyn) bounced back from a rough outing last time. Very nicely done. She's going to get another start, and we're going to keep working with her.
Dave Kaplan
We don't always have the numbers we would like to see. Last year was a really rough year for us because we had so few guys out for the team.
Bill Knickerbocker
Traffic signals in New York are just rough guidelines.
David Letterman
When we do a content deal we have a rough idea of how many new subscribers it might attract. But mostly we?re committed to providing subscribers and potential subscribers with the kind of program they can?t find anywhere else, and Bob Dylan?s new show is a perfect example of that.
Nathaniel Brown
I'm a rough and tough guy, but I cried. That's what I did.
Bob Connelly
There is a destiny that shapes our ends rough, hew them as we will.
Frank Harris
It looked pretty rough.
Harold Johnson
I believe Mr. Lawless just presented his rough plans. After the final agreement is reached, we will come up with an estimated total and present it to the public.
Fukushiro Nukaga
The day was awesome but Hayride is a very, very challenging hill, one of the most challenging in the East. If conditions are not perfect, it makes for a rough ride and that's what we were facing today.
Bill Reichelt
He started out a little rough today. But he got into form when we gave him a lead to work with.
Tony Wolfe
Democrats, we love to fight and it's a rough and tumble fight.
Mike Callaghan
We had a rough year last year. We lost a lot of guys early and we all had to suffer together. But I think we really came together.
Shane Quilling
It's a rough road, there is no denying that. We as drivers need to drive according to the conditions.
Ben Rogers
It means a rough two and two-thirds months.
Karen Bell
It was a rough day for all of us. We went by bus to the wake (Peter Arthur) in the afternoon and then continued on to Dracut for the competition.
Julie Chapman
Going through the rough waters of the selection process makes us stronger. I hope to use this experience to do well in Turin.
Fumie Suguri
It has been a very rough year. Mother Nature hasn't done us any favors.

The streets are rough.
Karl Wallenda
It's a rough go in that sense.
Shaughn Renahan
It's going to be fun, probably pretty rough and hectic.
Leslie Bibb
It's going to be a very rough day.
Rally Caparas
The tough part going into this weekend is the expected high winds and rough water. Humphrey Head kicked out some fish, and exposed banks like Middle, Coyote, Hein and Eastern should be good once the water calms down.
Tony Floor
When we saw the rough cut in May, I turned around and said, 'George, you got this one right,' ... That's the first newsroom I've recognized on the big screen. That's the first one I could look at and say, 'I've been there,' and had that feeling and that tension, that palm sweating, camaraderie, repartee -- all of that.
Nick Clooney
Courage and cheerfulness will not only carry you over the rough places in life, but will enable you to bring comfort and help to the weak-hearted and will console you in the sad hours.
Sir William Osler
This was a rough, rough week. You have to give the kids credit. They came out and battled every night. That's what makes teams champions.
Joe Whitmer
For the next month it's going to be rough out here.
Michael Wade
We've had a rough start this year, but now it's going well.
Greg Kalkau
Instead of hitting a wedge, it could be a 6- or 7-iron into some of the greens. The rough and probably the wind will be the defense.
Joe Riekena
We had one rough inning defensively, but got back on track as the game went on.
Larry Wayman
We're coming off a pretty rough game Saturday with Colorado, so I just want the guys to rest up.
Peter Nowak
It's a tough loss. He's out of the question the top receiver in the [Ivy] League and I don't think anybody playing college football has caught as many passes in preparation than him in the last two years. He has prepared better than anybody that I can imagine, so for this to happen is pretty rough.
Jeff Mroz
It's a rough-and-tumble, swaggering electorate who like to see the guilty punished to the max, ... I don't know that a plea deal is in the cards. It depends on the political wishes of the prosecutor.
Andrew Napolitano
That creamy California sound that he superimposed on the rough-edged folk-rock sound that we were doing, and I think... it gave a luster to it that it wouldn't have had.
Timothy White
It was disappointing. It was a rough skate. The music felt twice as slow as it has been in practice.
Melissa Gregory
Hitting the fairways here is the most important thing, ... If you miss a green, you have a chance of getting up and down. If you miss the fairways, you have no chance of getting on the green from this rough.
Retief Goosen
And that's a rough, rough estimate.
Julie Evans
We knew it was going to be rough, but we're very pleased with what happened this year and the outcome here. Despite some setbacks, the kids stayed focused and kept working hard.
Bob Berceau
This is the final part of the highway?s preventative maintenance project. The surface was very worn and rough.
Gene Blaum
Many a man gets weary of clamping down on his rough impulses, which if given occasional release would encourage the living of life with salt in it, in place of dust.
Henry S. Haskins
We were behind and forced to try and trap, to try and make them throw it away, and that's rough on you on defense.
Brian Keeton
In fact this was first told to me by Arnold Palmer a few years back. He said that that's one of the biggest problems, that we need to tighten down on the grooves because it's too easy to get out of the rough, especially for the best players.
Dick Rugge
The West was very disorienting - vast, big, rough, dislocating, ... None of that represented home.
Wayne Fields
One of the great things about music is that you can really help other people through rough times. If that makes us overemotional, then I guess that's what we are. If they want us to say sorry, we'll say sorry for them.
Jt Woodruff
Sure we play rough, they said, but look what others do to us.
Ken Auletta
It was kind of rough. I felt I needed to be out there and help out the team. I felt that I wasn't helping out.
Chris Cook
The approximate $2 million European average for chief-executive pay can be taken as a rough guide to that threshold, with the varying strengths of public feeling on the issue indicated by the different national averages.
Richard Tomlinson
It was rough. Regardless, you just have got to continue to play through and make adjustments. I felt like we were able to do that.
Leslie Crane
Army life was rough. Would you believe it, they actually wanted me to pitch three times a week.
Whitey Ford
The car thing was rough. When the car broke down and we had to spend that money, I think, psychologically, it was tough on us.
Heather Dexter
I've been working on my driving and it worked quite nicely today. You must stay away from the rough here.
Prayad Marksaeng
While Fox Family Worldwide has many fine assets, in our estimations they are still diamonds in the rough.
Tom Staggs
It was really a game of spurts tonight. We played well at times and had some rough spots.
Darren Mathews
The market is just awaiting for the earnings season to begin. October, for whatever the reason, always has a rough start. For some reason, the market has a problem with the month.
Jon Brorson
It's a disappointing loss, and hopefully the players learned from it. But we've got to give the kids a chance. It was a rough one tonight. (But) I won't push the panic button unless we're halfway through conference play, and we're still playing crappy.
Mike Welch
We had kind of a rough day. But we're optimistic that things will be better (today).
Ted Carson
It's rough for those people.
Rod Coleman
We had a good run, and we had an opportunity at the end. We were just right there. We had a rough road to get to the title game, and I thought we handled ourselves very well.
Dave Kohnen
We almost lost him in that accident. He is having a rough time trying to get back in shape because his leg injuries were pretty severe and he is experiencing a lot of pain.
Lynn Lafree
We've really had a rough couple of months of basketball and it's been tough and draining. I'm very proud of the girls because they've persevered. They've come out ready to play every night and they haven't had a letdown.
Kathy Lanter
It was a rough weekend. I don't know which was the worst call. There were a lot of them that creep into my mind.
Phil Simms
It's a rough subject, talking about it all being over. We're such good friends, as good friends as you can be.
Cara Bortz
The prime suspects are habitat loss and climate change. We should stop using pesticides in our gardens, leave rough areas and protect the countryside, especially wild habitats.
Martin Warren
It was nice to get this win, birthday or not. There's days when I wake up now, when I say, 'This is going to be a rough one.' You just have to fight through the pain.
Brett Favre
This win gives us a lot of momentum after a rough stretch of losses during the middle of the season. We've done a great job since we went to a new defense during the second half of the season.
Ken Grisdale
The diamonds in the rough are out there, and we're trying to find them.
Jack Cosgrove
If you get a good lead, then when you hit your rough spot, it doesn't hurt as bad.
Tim Worrell
We've had our times when things were rough.
Irene Jones
I guess you can't play 200 minutes, but it's rough. You battle, fight the whole game. We were down 2-1 and came back and were right in it. Then it's gotta come down to something like that. It's frustrating.
Raleigh Daves
His truly beautiful voice and melodic, understated guitar style contrasted dramatically with the more rough and raucous blues and blues-rock that came before him.
Bruce Iglauer
It's tough going, sometimes rough going.
Munir Akram
They're a little rough. We haven't won in a while, so you can understand their frustration.
Tyler Arnason
If there's going to be a rough spot, it's that Chrysler has driven its decision-making from the lowest levels.
Mike Flynn
I'm digging balls out of the rough that I wasn't able to and I'm hitting drives powerfully at the end of a round like I couldn't last year. I've been remarkably calm.
Davis Love Iii
We planned to be physical, but we didn't think Arapahoe would be that physical. They picked it up when they saw how rough we were going to be.
Brandon Runkle
It was our attempt to get a more complete document to go out to public review based on the set of vendors that fully responded. I just don't see how seeing a rough draft of that is going to give any competitive advantage to anyone.
