We must as second best...take the least of the evils.

Aristotle

First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.

Aristotle

A friend is a second self.

Aristotle

Wretched, ephemeral race, children of chance and tribulation, why do you force me to tell you the very thing which it would be most profitable for you not to hear? The very best thing is utterly beyond your reach: not to have been born, not to be, to be nothing. However, the second best thing for you is: to die soon.

Aristotle

Woman was God's second mistake.

Friedrich Nietzsche

While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first is personality, which no one should copy; the second is perfection, which all should aim at.

Oscar Wilde

The most boring thing in the entire world is nudity. The second most boring thing is honesty.

Chuck Palahniuk

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

Oprah Winfrey

The big difference in overtime was we scored first and controlled the boards. Throughout the second half we did a good job defensively allowing one shot. We were active on the glass on the offensive end and that allowed us additional possessions.

Aaron Rosenberg

I have the second-nut flush draw and top pair, ... At that point I move all in for the remaining $50,000 or so. He called.

Aaron Rosenberg

Cory was outstanding in the second half. He gave us a big lift at the guard spot and Lonnie had an extra bounce in his step.

Aaron Rosenberg

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he, by peddling second-rate technology, who led them into it in the first place.

Douglas Adams

There are three classes of intellects: one which comprehends by itself; another which appreciates what others comprehend; and a third which neither comprehends by itself nor by the showing of others; the first is the most excellent, the second is good, and the third is useless.

Niccolo Machiavelli

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Confucius

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

The Bob Newhart Show: The Complete Second Season.

Bob Newhart

My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.

Erma Bombeck

Second, by reducing the demand for general-purpose PC operating systems and the barriers to entry in the PC OS market, cross-platform technologies can be expected to reduce the price that end users pay for operating systems.

Frederick Warren

I think we lost a little bit of our intensity in the second half. When we lose our intensity and focus like that it is really disappointing because we are a team that prides ourselves on playing hard all four quarters.

Chris Paulson

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

In the first half, we were a little passive on offense. In the second half, Hooper stepped up big, and I challenged her to take it to the goal, and she did that and got quite a few good looks.

Angie Lucier

Russell put together a nice drive to start the second half and then when they returned the punt, you could see our kids heads drop. But to our kids credit, they refused to lay down the rest of the game. They could have quit and folded their tents, but they didn't and I was proud of them for that.

Andy Stephens

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

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Cicero

It wasn't him. It was us. We did it. We weren't afraid of Randy. We hurt our damn selves. On that second touchdown, we called an all-out blitz and people didn't blitz. I'm putting it out there. Letting them know. Telling it just like it is. I'm not pulling any punches. We can't make those mistakes. That can't happen. It can't happen.

Al Harris

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.

Albert Einstein

Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy.

Izaak Walton

We executed the offense much better in the second half. We were a little tight. We had guys just running around and not getting to spots.

John Mielke

This was really a big game for us. This was the difference between finishing second or possibly fourth. The game really set up the rest of the season up for us.

Chris Bown

We had our best half of basketball all year. Our defense was outstanding. We started to go a little individual in the second half.

Gary Giancola

I want to do more commissions and the very important second and third productions of new works - giving them the life that will bring them into the standard repertoire.

Placido Domingo

There is no visibility ? management teams are coming out and saying we have no visibility but we think the second quarter is the bottom but they have no idea.

Jim Gribbell

This is a great team effort for us. We played great defense to shut out a team like that. Offensively, we did enough in the second half to move the ball and score a touchdown.

Tom Stacy

We've been shooting pretty well the second half of the season, and when you're gearing up for the playoffs, that is something you have to work on. We have been working on it, and it's starting to pay off.

Gene Brisbane

We played the starters a little in the second quarter and the younger kids started slow. It was an opportunity to play everybody. (North River) only had six kids and played hard.

Tom Betrozoff

And if things go as well as we hope they will and believe they will, then we would look for a broader roll-out at Wal-Mart early in the second quarter.

Terry Marks

On the (clock's) computer it counts down to 100s of a second, which doesn't show on the clock. So you won't get that buzzer until that computer hits 0:00. That's why there is a delay. We did discuss it before the match that we would go with the buzzer and not the time on the clock.

Scott Merritt

I'm glad for the kids. I think the kids wrestled really hard. I think we came up just a little short of winning second place.

Steve Lopez

He was unbelievable. It was probably the second best, not points-wise, but overall performance I have seen live.

Mike Hultz

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

I support the Second Amendment and believe strongly that families around the country have a right to protect themselves.

Chet Edwards

Brandon's probably our second- or third-best shooter on the team. Of course, we have to have him inside, to get close-to-the-basket buckets, but there are times when we're going to pull him out on the perimeter, too.

Anthony Longstreet

You can't be down 20 points in the second half and expect to get back in the game.

Ben Luber

They kept us at bay there for a little while and did a good job on the other side. They kind of kept the offense down for a little while, but the second and third trips through the lineup we did well.

Stuart Landreneau

We are a golf mecca. The pieces are in place to ... make us leap from being [an] also-ran [to] being very competitive in that second-and-third-tier of cities.

Richard Goldman

We had a couple of mental lapses in the second half. We made a couple of decisions on bad passes. We made a couple of mistakes in the fourth quarter.

Peter Arnold

I played my heart out like everybody else on the team did. Everybody gave it their all. We wanted it really bad, as did Jesuit because they got a second chance. They came out hard and fired up, but evidently we came out even harder.

Taylor Hovis

We executed well on both sides of the ball and controlled the line of scrimmage. Although we made a few mental mistakes in the second half, we were very pleased with the teams effort as a whole.

Geoff Ward

When you advance to the Sweet 16 for the second year in a row, playing like we've been playing, you're elated. We were in a tough one and realized our backs were against the wall. We knew that if we didn't respond, we'd be at home (for the rest of the season).

Don Lofton

We just have a good time. We've been playing together for so long, it's like breathing, second nature. When you are playing music with people you've know more than half you life, it should be that simple.

Derrick Williams

That was huge. That gave us momentum going into the second half.

Jordan May

We had something to shoot for after losing that first one to them. We were a lot hungrier this time, especially in the second half.

Amanda Johnson

It is the second company that gives that kind of a chance to investors to buy into a national telecom footprint and a global business through Flag Telecom.

Jigar Shah

Our first goal was obviously to win the game. She needed 22 and we held her to 15 last time we played. Once the game was out of reach, our second goal was to stop her. We were like, 'you're not getting it here.' It's better for her anyway to get it at home and celebrate there.

Diane Casey

We had more good ball movement, made more plays and knocked down more shots in the second half than in the previous three weeks combined. It was a better game than the final score. We got a lot of things to build on.

Scott Ballard

Andrew hit some big shots for us that kept us close early. I think that surprised them and they did a better job defensively on him in the second half.

Dan Stephens

I felt very good with my serve. I struggled with it in the second set, but everything else felt very good.

Lucie Safarova

The second game isn't going to be anything like the first game; it never is. Arizona has continued to get better.

Charli Turner Thorne

We had a game plan to pack it in and make them beat us from the outside, and we pretty much stuck to it. But for about five minutes there (in the second quarter), we forgot what to do.

Doug Knox

We talked at the half that we needed to start playing the way we knew how. The main thing we needed to do was play defense. Having lost to Blackville earlier in the season, I don't know if we knew what to expect. I just asked them to turn it up in the second half.

Tonia Young

You look at the goal at the end of the [second] period and the shorthanded goal against. That's not going to win you too many games.

Trent Yawney

There are three things that are important in human life. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.

Henry James

You expect Hale to play well. When he's putting well, he's tough to beat. I should be happy with second place but I'm not. I wasn't accurate enough to make a move early in the round. I'm disappointed because I wanted to win.

Bob Gilder

We were able to force a lot of turnovers, especially in the second and third quarters. We had some easy baskets.

Buddy Carlisle

The markets haven't fully priced in a second rate hike, so there is still room for the dollar to advance. Data today look as if they will be strong and support the dollar.

Junya Tanase

(Promoter) Damon (Feldman) is guaranteeing it, so we see what happens. It would be a great second fight for me.

Jamie Campbell

I am really proud of the job the girls did in the second half; we talked at halftime about.

Bill Duffy

This is better for the environment than the standard diesel we're using. And the second thing to consider is the cost.

Chad Adams

It's a warning, ... The game isn't over, and we're counting on winning the second round.

Alain Juppe

We had more intensity in the second half.

Chris Beatty

We get a new start in the second half of the season and maybe gain some confidence.

Layne Ulmer

It's a shame we lost again today but if we keep applying pressure like we did at times in the second half we should be able to get a result in the next game.

Takeshi Ono

We blew a huge opportunity to take a step toward second place tonight.

Paul Dretsch

I think we'll carry that momentum forward now. We want to have the second seed going into the state finals, not the fourth-place seed.

Michael Rader

Bakersfield took us out of our offense in the first half. We got down big, but it was big for us to cut it down to single digits. ... The second half was a different game.

Pat Fuscaldo

In the second half we played much better defense. We were able to get our transition game going. I thought that (UMD) played a great game, but we took advantage of them not having Dietz.

Lori Ulferts

You might lose your spontaneity and, instead of composing first-rate Gershwin, end up with second rate Ravel.

Maurice Ravel

We had to get the guys back focused, and get them excited about the game, and let them know it's still an opportunity. It's only 13 points. It's two scores. I mean, we've been a second-half football team all year, that's kind of our M.O. (modus operandi), so we kind of hung our hat on that, and got the guys fired up.

Otis Covington

There were a lot of fouls in the second quarter and that kind of took our momentum away.

Richie Meade

Jim had a little bad luck on the second playoff hole and that opened the door for me and I hit a pretty good shot out of the bunker.

Wes Short Jr

We came out and didn't go hard. We were switching defenses up to try to stay with them. They just came out a little harder in the second half.

Dana Shaughnessy

Shannon shot fantastic today. To finish second in the nation is an amazing accomplishment. She worked so hard for this and we are very proud of her.

Valerie Boothe

I thought we had a full team effort today, everybody played except for two of our goalkeepers. San Jose was very organized and kept numbers back. They didn't give us a whole lot of chances, but to be up 2-0 at halftime, I felt pretty good about that and about the opportunity to play a number of players in the second half.

Jerry Smith

We've finished second several times but keep building our conference lead. We've been very consistent, and it's certainly helped us.

Van Sweet

He's not the kind of guy that comes in and throws 120 pitches. He's a 90-pitch guy. If he's going to get into the seventh and eight inning, he needs to get guys on a lot of first and second pitches.

Gary Powers

There's only been two times in our 28 years that we haven't worked together: when I was pregnant and in bed with our second child for four months and when David was recovering from kidney cancer. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as when he was there.

Sarah Patterson

Not to pick this game up tonight means we really have got to come through somewhere and win a game or two that nobody expects us to win. It just seemed that in the second half our defensive intensity wasn't there until the last four or five minutes.

Kay Yow

Actually, I didn't think about the wins until the beginning of this season. I realized I had 90 and it's not that far away from second place. First was a long-shot anyway.

Matt Lee

I didn't do a good job of hydrating myself during the week and kind of cramped up (in the second half). I would've liked to get the record, but it sets me up for next week.

Damien Rhodes

Leicester brought in Fryatt. who is a fantastic player, and Hume as well and they also have a very good young forward (Chris O'Grady) who came on in the second half.

Dave Tuttle

The race was really going our way at the beginning. Marc did an excellent job and brought the car into the pits in second place. We had trouble with my seat insert and we took too long getting me belted in, we gave away a win today. It is nice to leave with the points lead, but we left win on the track.

Andy Lally

Offensively, we did a good job of getting the ball inside. We made some plays in the second half, and our girls hit their free throws.

Robby Reasonover

It's very valuable to the State Department to have what are called second track contacts with North Korea because they are more frank, and they're not burdened by the official process.

Selig Harrison

We've been motivated this year. Everybody on our team expects to be good. Everybody expects to win every time we play. It won't be that hard to calm down and let everything work. We'll play until the final second.

Phillip Adams

We read every newspaper article printed on that team. We knew they were a second-half club, so at no point in the first half did we think the game was over.

Daquan Gibson

I was embarrassed after the Cal game. I'm not happy how the score ended up tonight, but it's different. The first half, we battled and fought. In the second half they just went on and blew us out, so it's different.

John Jay

Penalties hurt us in the second period.

Perry Florio

The end of 2003, we took a second in Huntington Beach (Calif.) and we were pretty consistent after that. We were in the top five, won twice this year; we've always been in the mix, and we've rarely done poorly.

Todd Rogers

I know all of the calls and stuff, I just am not the one necessarily calling them out. I usually just have to listen to them. I have to get in that book a little. I'm going in with the mindset that I might have to play the game. I don't know how long the starters will be in there but it looks like I might have to go in there with the second unit and play center.

Reggie Wells

We can't wait until the bottom half of the seventh inning of the second game to realize what we have to do to hit the ball.

Tim Hicks

We just quit playing over a spell in the second half. I told the girls, 'Don't ever do that to me again.' But it's a good teaching tool. There are a lot of positives that we can get out of this.

Robin Blalock

America's greatest strength, and its greatest weakness, is our belief in second chances, our belief that we can always start over, that things can be made better.

Anthony Walton

This behavior is beautifully simple. If one experimentally removes the follower and taps the leader with a hair at a rate of two times per second or more, the leader will continue.

Tom Richardson

There are two kinds of companies, those that work to try to charge more and those that work to charge less. We will be the second.

Jeff Bezos

You can't dig a 20-point hole in the second half and think you're going to come back and win. When you're behind you have to play perfect.

Brent Norberg

There really isn't much difference between first and second team. Usually it's just one vote.

Steve Klaas

All the regions recorded growth this quarter, apart from Japan that saw a small decline in demand compared to the second quarter in 2004.

Carolina Milanesi

In a period when general economic slowdown is the main problem and when inflation is not likely to be a continuing threat, the euro area -- the second-largest economic area in the world -- needs to become part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

Michael Mussa

The group continues to benefit from a diversified global portfolio with our hotels continuing their upward trends, leaving us well positioned for the second half.

Kwek Leng Beng

We knew it was going to be a grinding game. We knew it was going to be a possession-by-possession game. We picked up the defensive intensity in the second half and that made a big difference.

Skip Brock

There will be two new products next year. In the first half there will be a person-to-person skill game and in the second half there will be another more akin to casino.

Richard Segal

After winning, then finishing second in Boston, my goal since then has been to finish in the top 30 on the money list. I missed the cut last week. If I had made the cut, I might be inside that number. I did look at the money list, and between 28 and 33, there's not a big difference. So, I'm a solid week away.

Jason Bohn

We just didn't make tackles. Bottom line was, we just didn't make tackles and contain as well as we did in the first half as the second half.

Tyrone Nix

They (the Thunder) had two routine balls hit to our second baseman with the bases loaded that bounced over his head. Both times they scored two runs.

Jason Castro

I thought for a second it was going to be a long single.

Ryan Strieby

The kids just played with a lot more intensity in the second half. Their defense was better and their rebounding was better. I think they also hit more 3s in the second half.

Robert Capello

We thought we had some momentum going to start the second half (back to a 10-point deficit), but they kept hitting their shots.

Mike Chere

We didn't do a very good job of executing our half-court offense in the second half, but fortunately, we had built such a big lead that we were able to hang on.

Mark Hurt

My mother is German and my dad is Korean. And I'm the second son in the family. Beneath it is my name.

Matt Lee

The second half of last year we started to see another list of projects in place. It is in a lucrative position with one of the strongest production profiles in the sector with very attractive margins as well.

Doug Leggate

In the first half, I thought we gave him some. The second half, we made him fight for every one of them, and he just got them. That's how good he is. That's a different-level player.

George Nessman

In the second half, they (the Falcons) played more of a man-to-man defense. So that helped us out because it gave us more looks to the basket.

Karl Smesko

We just didn't pitch in the second game. The big inning killed us again. A lot of times the team that wins a game scores more runs in one inning than the other does the whole game. They scored six in the fifth inning, and we scored six on the day.

James Mansinger

I didn't even give it a second thought.

Jim Ronecker

I wish he had started a dialogue with scientists before going public with his theories, ... There is some evidence, under the current administration, that it is 'policy first, science second.'

James Andrews

We got it up to 18 in the second half, but they were able to cut it to four late. Maria Viola hit four or five free throws down the stretch and we were able to hold on.

Duwaine Ganskie

As it turned out, hell wasn't watching the people you love get hurt; it was coming in during the second act, when it was already too late to stop it from happening.

Jodi Picoult

The second doubles match was by far the most exciting.

Chelsea Frankovich

We didn't tell them anything they didn't already know. We felt like we needed to be more aggressive. We did catch a little life there towards the end of the second quarter, but we weren't being aggressive at either end. We were settling for 3-point shots and needed to attack the rim a little more.

Dick Corn

We just had to relax and play our game. We knew we could come back and take this thing. I think we just stepped it up to another level in the second half.

Nick Fruendt

It was a very good job by the team (in the Sprint race). We had a very good car; the balance was very good. I just wanted to do a safe second place.

Nicolas Lapierre

It was a good game. I thought Griswold played well. Our depth was the difference. Our second group played very well when our starters were struggling.

Bob Monahan

Their defense did a great job of pulling us offside. Most of those were in the second half, and we didn't respond very well to it.

Tom Dawkins

If you give great players a challenge, those players will do great things. I challenged my players, and they did just that in the second half.

Mark Mooney

She dominated. She killed us from inside and from the free throw line. We couldn't drive the ball, and the one thing that kills us is when get unbalanced in our scoring. Amanda was proving us with a lot of points in the first half, but when they shut her down in the second, we didn't have anyone there to pick up the slack.

Fred Thacher

Hundreds of my trophies are for second place. I tell people they have to visit Gregg to see the first-place trophies.

Jon Wisser

We want to try listing the second and third floors on the Internet, to buy or lease those floors.

Dave Colbert

(Cameron) has encouraged other people to go through with transplants. He has given his second chance gift back many times over.

Dr. Jeffrey Crippin

For whatever reason, we can't put two halves together, ... We dug ourselves a hole in the first half and came back in the second half a completely different team.

Sheryl Swoopes

In the Army of the Shenandoah, you were the First Brigade! In the Army of the Potomac you were the First Brigade! In the Second Corps of this Army, you are the First Brigade! You are the First Brigade in the affections of your general, and I hope by your future deeds and bearing you will be handed down the posterity as the First Brigade in this our Second War of Independence. Farewell!

Thomas Stonewall Jackson

I felt like Tin Cup for a second -- kept hitting and hitting and hitting.

Matt Hansen

Offensively and defensively, we didn't play intelligently in the second half. There are ways you play when you're in foul trouble and we didn't do it.

Dave Glasgow

European government bonds are going to be the worst performing area in the first quarter. There'll be one more rate hike in the first quarter and another in the second quarter.

Stuart Thomson

It went through the Planning Commission and made it to the board, but on the second reading it got disapproved. The developers met with some aldermen and got further guidance on the changes they should make.

Tom Marsh

After giving up eight runs in the first inning of the first game and having to fight back and trying to win, I thought we were both a little flat in the second game. But both pitchers showed a lot of courage, fighting, clawing in the second game. I feel fortunate to get that win.

Q.v. Lowe

We missed more than our share of shots close to the basket in that second quarter in particular. So that was the ball game. We missed about seven or eight point-blank shots in the first half.

Dennis Cromer

He got frustrated early. He really came back in the second half, played a solid game and really showed some maturity down the stretch, making some big plays and handling the ball under pressure.

Shawn Almond

As we came down the stairs, I saw flames burning across the ceiling on the second floor. When we got outside, the fire was shooting up the front wall of the house.

Carly Comprone

We made our free throws down the stretch and that was huge. We came out of the gate pretty good to start the first and second halves, and A.J. gave us a nice spark off the bench.

Brian Baptiste

Banner ads are down slightly. In the second quarter of 1999, banner ads represented 59 percent of all online ads. In the first quarter of this year, they represented 52 percent. In the second quarter, they represented 50 percent.

Tom Hyland

The first game was the usual story for us, a lot of being young mistakes and mercy ruling us, but the second game was almost completely different.

Tony Ernesto

I'm much happier that we had that explosive run in the second half. I don't know if a win or loss would have been better today. But the way we finished was encouraging.

Jim Donofrio

A contractor in Arizona doubled his size in his second year and a contractor in Cincinnati doubled his output in a single year. One guy in Illinois had so many calls he couldn't handle them, so he had to cancel the number. I sold the number to one of his competitors who has the same problem but is better equipped to handle it.

Tom Fee

Photography is truth. And cinema is truth twenty-four times a second.

Jean luc Godard

I ran the rest of the game, ... It's just a little swollen and a little stiff. It's not painful. It's not horrible pain. Obviously, I played with it in the second half. I was conscious of it, so I could feel something wasn't exactly right. I just played through it. After the game there was some swelling, and then (Sunday and Monday) there was a little more swelling.

Lindsay Whalen

If life had a second edition, how I would correct the proofs.

John Clare

We tried to come into the second game more focused, and with more intensity. I told the girls we needed to limit the walks and errors.

Jack Daniels

Despite the strong revenue growth and market momentum we have achieved over the last seven quarters, general market conditions and economic uncertainty adversely impacted our second quarter financial performance.

Greg Owens

Second to agriculture, humbug is the biggest industry of our age.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel

They busted out on us in the second quarter. We weren't picking up in rotation, and we were fouling a lot.

Bernard Thomas

No. 1, they're going to be boring, and they don't want to be boring, and the second thing is, in a very short period of time, that music will start up.

Sid Ganis

The girls kept their composure and came up with some big steals in the second overtime that helped pad the lead.

Randy Carpenter

We still have to beat North Iredell in our last NPC game, but in the second half it felt like we were playing for a championship.

Bob Blake

Other clubs will look at him as a second baseman or an outfielder. Mentally, he is happy. He is going to play [the outfield]. I gave him some sound advice. I told him to go there, have fun. If he misses a fly ball, he has to come back the next day and try to get a coach who can hit him fly balls.

Alberto Castillo

We will also conduct several critical payload operations, including switching on the SEVIRI imager and releasing two protective covers, one over the optics and the second covering the radiator. This all has to happen rather quickly, or else performance could be affected.

John Dodsworth

I had a hit-and-run, double-steal (called). We got mixed up. We ended up getting picked off at first and thrown out at second. That was a momentum killer right there.

Alan Watkins

I just kind of gave in and threw him a fastball down the middle. The second one was a slider that was supposed to be down and I just left it up.

Chris Capuano

Maybe we should have come out with a zone in the second half to stop their dribble penetration. Our guards were not responsible for that, coach Turco was. I'll take the blame for that.

Bob Turco

It appears that operating earnings per share rose 6 percent to 7 percent in the second quarter, following a similar performance in the first.

Abby Joseph Cohen

Fighting back is the sign of an experienced team. We didn't panic when we got down by eight in the second quarter. Instead, we kept playing hard and got a two-point lead by halftime.

Mark Atherton

We are not going to be sore losers but we are human beings. The right of a second round of elections is inscribed in the election rules.

Leslie Manigat

It's a much better route through the playoffs if you finish second. It's been a long time since a team around here finished second — it's very exciting.

Joni Vaughan

Nature gives very few second chances, but this may be one of them.

Carter Roberts

(Braun) scored the first goal of the second half and it was a man-up goal, too. That was a huge turning point in the game.

Derek Reichenbecher

I would have been satisfied with a one-point win. But to see our offense take off in the second and third quarters really made a statement we are on another level.

Lamar Owens

We needed to come out stronger. When you're down that far, it's tough to come back and hold it. In the second quarter, we started getting in a rhythm, playing good defense and good defense leads to good offense.

Kevin Kleppe

(Olsen) got a lot of second chances. He played above himself tonight, and had great energy.

Doug Meacham

I wasn't really looking to score more (in the second half), but I was looking to be more aggressive.

Aaron Robinson

We didn't quite know that our second-leading scorer would put his hand in a splint and two starters would foul out. That put our offense a little out of sync. Hopefully we'll be able to adjust and be in a little better flow on Friday.

Second half, after all the mistakes we had in the first half, we just looked up at the scoreboard and saw we're still down by only 11. Coach told us in the second half to play hard, leave it all on the line. That's what we did. We did what we could to come back, but it didn't happen for us.

[Arizona at NY Giants: 3:15 p.m. Sunday, Giants by 3 – Plaxico Burress left Pittsburgh in free agency because all the Steelers did was run. Now, the veteran receiver is looking to make a connection with second-year quarterback Eli Manning.] Hopefully, ... that Manning-to-Burress thing can be a big thing around here.

Plaxico Burress

There is a consensus with the member countries to maintain the current quota as there is enough oil in the market. I expect a barrel at US$50 at least for the second quarter of the year.

Chakib Khelil

The two previous raffles worked out great. Our first raffle was done in 2002 and the second in 2004. This is our main fundraiser, so the funds we raise go toward the main function of the company.

People's Choice voting is Saturday only. The ribbons will be placed on the exhibits on Sunday. Voting will be for best of show and second and third place.

Jan Connelley

The worst part was (our play) late in the second quarter and early in the third quarter. We weren't scoring, and they were hitting threes, and that's not a good combination.

Billy Mack Steed

They definitely got us in the first half. We finally settled down in the second half.

Justin Parnell

That's 240 tickets a second, and 14,400 a minute.

Steve Kniley

If we could have had a better first, I think we would have been in better shape. It's too bad about that second goal. It's a shame because Chris brought us here.

Pete Belliveau

There was a lot of action out there and it was quite hard to pass. At the end people started to make mistakes and have problems with the tyre, and I did my best lap on the second last lap. I was lucky the two guys came down in front of me but I was certainly homing in on them.

Troy Bayliss

We were caught on our heels in the second half, thinking we were going to coast through.

Jordin Lindsey

They pressured us, and I thought we handled that pretty well. But the keys were their second-chance points and our inability to cash in on our chances in the second quarter. That, and they force us to play at a quicker pace than we wanted to at times.

Ken Bublitz

At the beginning of the season our goals were to, number one, win our conference - the MDCHA. Our second goal is to receive an invite to nationals.

Justin Fishman

The last six games we've been lacking heart. We came [together] at halftime tonight and made the decision to play for fun. In the second half and in the overtime, we played with heart.

Bobby Garcia

The district attorney was not interested in this. There has to be some mechanism for the district attorney to be second-guessed.

Wayne Tartline

Our press was effective, and in the second half we wore them down. It was a fast-paced game. That's the way we prefer it.

Clark Plichta

Investors are taking the view that the Fed will do whatever it needs to do [to ensure U.S. economic growth in the second half].

Jeremy Hawkins

Actions have consequences...first rule of life. And the second rule is this - you are the only one responsible for your own actions.

Holly Lisle

It was almost like we were playing not to lose. In the second half we were more patient offensively and picked up the intensity on defense.
