All of life seems like that. Once we settle into some phase or other, and become attached to it, some unknown force makes us move on, only death obviously relieving us from these exhausting cycles.

Jill Johnston

On behalf of Martin County Coal, we're extremely pleased to have been able to settle the case for the actual damages these people suffered.

Jeff Woods

We're hoping that it will generate some interest and support so we can go back and finish up and settle the dispute once and for all, without a doubt.

Michael Birdwell

All I have to do is turn off the TV, and they'll settle down pretty quickly.

Kat Clark

I have worked with a basketball player who said he was always told to get up before a game. Then he would go to the game and in the first five minutes, the ball would fall off his hands. He learned that before the game, rather than getting excited, he needed to do things to settle himself down.

Fred Newton

She was doing a good job. We just never seemed to settle down.

Larry Deeks

After all, all the great strategists have failed. The feeling was, 'Let's lower our sights and settle for a tactician.

Shlomo Avineri

Abby is somebody who has learned how to run in the middle part of the race. We have focused a lot on that. Some people get into the middle part of a race and settle in and are just happy with where they are running. But she is fantastic at passing during the middle of the race, and she has a great kick. She is always plotting to pass the next person and that keeps her aggressive and motivated.

Don Proft

We saw a boom in agriculture. You no longer had to settle for grain crops, now you could introduce a whole new variety of crops.

Tod Ruhstaller

He's has successfully ignited the Middle East. He's shooting everyone now. He doesn't really want to settle the current crisis.

Nachman Shai

Don't settle and cater to the customer. We do anything and everything we can to make treats that the dogs like.

Rick Bisesto

I think as time passes, everything is going to settle. The best rotation is going to settle. Coach Casey talks about having seven or eight guys in that rotation. Who knows who those guys are going to be, but there's no question, it is going to settle.

Mark Madsen

We decided it would be a better business decision to settle this rather than going through protracted time in the courtroom. This will give us peace of mind.

Lori Fisher

It's a report that both sides can claim victory about. I don't think it will settle the issue.

Dave Cortese

I'd like to have Benton County residents settle this.

Mark Dossett

That really helped because the kids executed. We had a few minutes where we kind of went nutty, then we regained our composure. Being able to settle down and pull out the win, that made a huge statement for them, I think.

Karen Trent

He's a leader. He's not afraid to go out to the mound and talk to the pitcher, settle him down if needed. He has all the makings of the quarterback on the field, a leader on the field. At that position, it's important.

Marc Gustafson

We are letting the dust settle around here. We are not pressed. We will let it all go for a couple of weeks or more, then it's decision time for the entire football team. I know the quarterback situation is marquee in everyone's minds. But we will deal with it.

A.j. Smith

They (Rice) scored a few runs in the first couple of innings and held on. That seems be our thing this year. Give up runs before we settle down and then can't seem to get back.

Chad Bell

I think the expectations put on myself were a little too high a little too fast. But I'm starting to settle down, starting to play a lot of good golf.

Bubba Dickerson

It sounds like the president has an interesting range of candidates before him. Which one of them he'll settle on no one knows, but we do know he has promised nominees who represent his judicial philosophy like Justices [Antonin] Scalia and [Clarence] Thomas. No president in recent memory has done such a great job of choosing jurists who are faithful to the Constitution.

Wendy Long

They were not going to settle one thing, and now they have a global settlement.

Hemant Shah

My official position is that we have not settled. At this stage, what's going on in District Court is clearly moving ahead. It's up to RIM to make a decision about whether it wants to settle.

Don Stout

We have not been able to settle the situation with the Excise Board on what funds will be available.

Mark Cox

EWC can participate by talking to other companies with concerns, proposing technical amendments, aiding in running simulations, and so forth. It can give both technical input and be a kind of lobbying force to ensure that people rapidly settle on a final, ratified version.

Bill Mcfarland

Just like in real life, we don't want to settle. We really want this guy to be perfect.

Robyn Kass

These are going to be very long-lasting changes in America, ... The people who are leaving their homes, will take years to re-settle. The Gulf states are going to take years and years to rebuild. They won't be rebuilt in the same way. This is a permanent effect on American society.

James Gregory

Anyone in the humor business isn't thinking clearly if he doesn't surround himself with idea people, ... Otherwise, you settle for ... mediocrity -- or you burn yourself out.

Hank Ketcham

We turned it over a lot early but were able to hang around. If we take care of the ball and let our defense settle in, we're pretty good.

Brian Cupples

A good team like that will jump on that and take more advantage of it than a team like San Jose State did. We just want to settle down, get all the jitters out of the way and play football.

Jj Simmons

The main thing we didn't want was to let those guys settle into isolation situations.

Desmond Mason

There still is a perception among some people that he... doesn't want to go to court and will settle.

Tom Mesereau

We really couldn't settle the puck. They were quick and they jumped all over us. It's a different level playing them.

Phil Murphy

It looks like everything is agreed and we wanted him in early so he can settle in.

Jim Leishman

We could decide to settle others. We are not entertaining the notion of a global settlement.

Kent Jarrell

In the first half, we knew both teams were going to play their hardest. They haven't been here for a long time. In the second half, we knew we had to settle down and execute. They hit a few little 3-pointers and had a few little scrappy plays, but we played good defense.

Jeff Cumberland

That actually warms the air. And it won't allow dew to settle on a plant.

Darren Parmenter

I think we're ready for it to start. We've had moments that don't excite me when on offense we quit attacking and settle for outside shots. Our focus has to be played for 32 minutes. If we can do that I like our chances. The nice thing about our team is we are deep. We have a lot of players we can relay on.

Keith Flood

We were just so pumped up, had so much adrenaline after we got up by one. It was so hard after that to settle down and focus again.

Kathryn Stockbower

It is the compaction of everyone driving on the sand. These completely microscopic particles just don't settle.

Julie Regan

Once we settle down, we're fine.

Bill Sweeney

The settlement is a win-win deal, though it is very painful for RIM, and it proves that our patent system is completely broken. NTP gets $612 million for coming up with a fairly obvious idea, patenting it and suing a company too arrogant to settle early on.

Avi Greengart

My jump shot was on at the beginning. I came out, shot a couple, and coach told me, 'Don't settle.' They were really sagging off me, so I just tried to use my moves to get to the hoop and finish.

Dontaye Draper

The girls were really hungry for this one. They didn't want to settle for a tie with REV (in the standings).

Mel Wilkins

EGOTIST, n. A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me. Megaceph, chosen to serve the State In the halls of legislative debate, One day with all his credentials came To the capitol's door and announced his name. The doorkeeper looked, with a comical twist Of the face, at the eminent egotist, And said: 'Go away, for we settle here All m.

Ambrose Bierce

I knew she came out with 31 points last night and I had to 'D' it up on her tonight. I was working as hard as I could. ... Later, it was starting to settle in (for her) that she wasn't having anything going in and you could tell she was frustrated.

Becca Mcardle

Marias Magic seems to go particularly well for Kevin. Others have found it difficult to settle her, but she settles well for Kevin, who has now won three times on him this year.

Mark Johnston

Our pitching just needs to settle down a little bit and I think we'll be okay.

Jana Epema

We do want a trial date. We want to get there as soon as we can. This case is going to settle. And I hope sooner rather than later.

William Lerach

Settle entered in a really tough spot. Closer is a tough job; you're either the hero or the goat, no in-between. He did a good job in that situation.

Joe Hudak

I think its too soon to say. I think we need a little bit more time to see where things settle. There are no precedents.

Linda Kristiansen

Because we know how great this show has been, we hold it to a higher standard and aren't willing to settle for anything less than the best it can be.

Bruce Fretts

I think that reflects the whole offense. We just knew that once we got down there, with their type of weapons, we can't just settle for field goals.

Steve Hutchinson

I'm going up to win. I'm not going into this looking to settle with home-field advantage. We want to win this last regular season game and go into the district tournament on high note.

Troy Hayes

He had to settle down a bit.

Paul Sullivan

We wanted to try to get all the way to the clubhouse and settle it on the last hole and we got there.

Tim Anderson

We've been as patient as we could, but the district has not given any indication that they are willing to settle this.

Matthew Hardy

She likes to win. She came out a little bit nervous — it takes a quarter to settle down sometimes — but she's such a leader. The rest of the team feeds off her. When things don't go well for her, they usually don't go well for us.

Meg Cullinan

People who live in rural areas typically file fewer claims than people who live in cities. And the claims that they do file cost less to settle.

Dave Kranz

Almost 80% of respondents acknowledged that imagery represents a critical facet of their branding campaigns, yet due to cost and time restrictions they must often settle for generic images that may not support their brand message.

David Norris

To make bio-diesel from vegetable oil, you get the oil from the restaurant, heat it up to about 120°, mix it with methanol, and lye, the right proportions, shake it, let it settle, and you get glycerin at the bottom and the rest is all bio-diesel ready to go.

Jacques Chiron

We just didn't settle into the game and didn't do the fundamentals things we needed to do. When it comes down to it, we just didn't execute and we didn't box out.

Christine Bochnak

There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.

George Sheehan

A duty dodged is like a debt unpaid; it is only deferred, and we must come back and settle the account at last.

Joseph F. Newton

He certainly wants them to settle.

Steve Maebius

We had kids ready, but we were hoping she'd settle down and work through things.

Karen Mullins

The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.

Maureen Dowd

We're a good place for people to go to until things settle down.

Diana Gustafson

They were just throwing guys at Dougie and it was hard to get into a flow. It was up to us to try to settle down, make the extra pass and get to the foul line.

Anthony Menard

It doesn't make sense, unless the strategy was to bring added pressure on Novell to settle. Usually you have your claims well put together before you bring the lawsuit.

Brian Ferguson

I suspect this rush to settle the civil antitrust actions and the securities class action are the product of both an approaching deal with the government involving a plea of guilty to criminal price fixing, and also the approaching shareholders meeting.

John Coffee

We've already turned down arbitration. We wish to settle our differences at the bargaining table, and are ready to return to the table to do so.

Jim Evans

I don't understand why the state wouldn't be interested in actually trying to settle Betty's case in her favor.

Stephen Hyland

We would settle and think that it was OK instead of going, going, going.

Melissa Dennett

It's going tot take him a while to settle back into the rhythm and he will ease him in as gently as possible, but Andrew is experienced enough to know what it takes and he will hopefully be soon banging in those goals again.

Gary Wood

I made some adjustments this year to try to settle in and not do too much at the plate. I'll keep pressing on and keep playing. Whatever decision they make is their decision. All I can do is keep playing well.

Jason Ellison

It's not that often you see a contract settle without concessions in this day and age. (At the last Central Labor Council meeting) someone reported that a union took a wage freeze but kept their health insurance. Today that's a win.

Dave Altman

Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.

Mia Hamm

There's obviously a blip here due to the crisis atmosphere, and once things settle down, things may go back to normal.

Tim Collins

[And though he stayed out of the courtroom, Gates essentially ran Microsoft's show. The government wanted to settle; Gates decided the charges wouldn't hold water, and] he'd always outfoxed the government before, ... That was a mistake.

John Heilemann

In the second half, we really tried to slow it down and run our half-court offense. We're going to have to deal with that because we're not going to outrun everybody in the state. We're going to have be prepared to settle down.

Debra Pegram

Surgery is an option, but the advice we have received from two leading specialists is that the injury may still settle without recourse to an operation.

Dr Peter Gregory

We knew they were going to make a run at us. We just had to settle down. We weren't panicking. We just became more ticked off at that point.

Lindsay Whalen

We fear this 'obstruction of justice' procedure is a judicial device for the government to yet again settle some scores with the privately-owned media and at the same time subject them to state censorship.

Reporters Without Borders

We had a meeting on Monday, and our association decided that they did not want to settle, and they did not want to accept what was there.

Veronica Barrett

Coach Mucha. Wow, I don't even know how to answer that or where to begin. There's so many things I could say about him, but the biggest thing about him is that he always wants to push us to do the best we can. Him and coach Tim never want us to settle for less.

Jim Connors

The Dutch are braver and more creative players, but less disciplined. They want to let the opponent see and feel that they're better, but they forget to score and settle the game.

Franz Beckenbauer

Two years ago, when gasoline cost $2 a gallon, the industry said to give it time and prices would settle down. Now, we're seeing $3 a gallon, ... People in California are no longer believing the excuses of the industry. If they can't fix their market behavior, we'll fix it for them.

Joe Dunn

We controlled most of the game. It took us a while to settle down. But once we did, we were all right. Now we have the toughest part of our schedule coming up.

Jose Gonzalez

You just have to find a way to get past this first game sometimes. On Saturday, maybe we'll settle in and play a little bit better.

Larry Just

I thought I'd settle them down a little bit and it worked. We weren't getting the shots.

Paul Bilodeau

The market will likely remain volatile for now, until players find levels to settle down.

Ryuta Otsuka

I had to settle down and do my job. Once I settled down, I felt good about it.

David Barrett

I became more aggressive and didn't just settle for the simple things.

Aleks Maric

When you get to this point, it's usually fairly clear which side is winning or losing, so one of the parties will settle. That's one of the things that's making this interesting. People are surprised it's gotten this far.

Jason Firth

Non-sensical. But to settle the softwood lumber dispute, does that mean we undersell energy products?

Jack Mintz

I prefer to settle this matter after a peace agreement is signed between Lebanon, Israel and Syria and Israel.

Rafik Hariri

I have asked the leaders to settle the issues fast and reach a compromise as it will permit the Iraqi parliament to complete the draft constitution in time.

Hajim Al hasani

Give him time to settle in, and he'll do the right thing for the Diocese of Cleveland.

Tom Tierney

Never settle with words what you can accomplish with a flamethrower.

Bruce Feirstein

It costs $55 to $60 to fill this. Normally, you can get around with a half tank. With the prices being so high, you rather settle for a quarter of tank than put in a half tank because it's so expensive.

David Jenkins

Nicole did not play well in the first half. She gets nervous and is often too hyped up before games. She wasn't able to settle in. At halftime, I told her that we needed her to score and that we needed her to take care of the ball.

Alan Eads

We had to settle down. We were too geared up to play and once we settled down it was too little, too late.

Cory Schaefer

I thought about putting in comfortable chairs, like at Barnes & Noble, but I decided I didn't want people to settle in here.

Andrew Fisher

Evan just played a great all-around basketball game. He did it on both ends of the floor. He probably had 10 or 12 rebounds. Offensively he was real poised and composed. He took advantage of mismatches at times and broke people down and got into the lane. I thought that was important for us offensively, as well. We attacked the bucket. We didn't settle for 3s all night. That was key.

Doug Stiverson

We agreed to settle and that was a business judgment that we made. We have always contested liability in this lawsuit, but our appeals have been denied. This settlement is a payment of our legal obligations.

Prem Nair

I think it's a great advantage. It allows you to get a gauge of where you're at, get some people healthy, either those who were injured in camp or in the game, and it allows you to settle into an academic routine.

Daniel Sullivan

Iranian leaders have said some outrageous things and yet, however outrageous, the country is too big to ignore, and the problem is too complex to settle easily. Certainly, walking away from Iran doesn't settle it.

Patrick Cronin

I admit I'm very emotional about it. I'm just ready. I'm tired and have gotten to the point that it's time to settle down.

Ronnie Elmore

We haven't missed a week since Christmas. I think we're ready to start again and settle into our normal routine.

Joe Sharrock

After the third quarter, we were able to settle down and really get after it defensively.

Kristi Snider

When you play at the Carpenter Center you don't get a chance to practice on the floor, so you're really coming in here cold. Once we were able to settle down, we were OK.

Jim Kane

Our advice would be to cuddle, feed, and settle, but always put the babies back into their own cot or crib.

Lisa Cohen

We set a priority on trying to get ball possession and more control into our game. In the past, we have hit the long ball quite often. Now we are trying to settle it down. And it showed a little bit today.

Paul Platte

The insurance company won't give us any money until we settle. Once we do, it will take eight weeks to get up and running again. They won't give us business interruption insurance until we accept the settlement, but they are underestimating.

Lori Bennett

[Producers say it's when the children of the era grow up and settle down.] There's a point where you stop caring about new music and start caring about things from a point in your youth, ... I Love the '80s.

Michael Hirschorn

We don't need to settle for low-life politics in Oakland.

Kitty Kelly

Marriage is a big deal. We're not ready to settle down.

Andy Davis

Diego did not have too many opportunities to impress at Manchester United but he has had time to settle and show what he can do here.

Manuel Pellegrini

I couldn't get her to settle early, but once she relaxed, she ran well. She handled (the wet conditions) super.

Terry Stanton

We need to score touchdowns and not settle for field goals in the fourth quarter.

Chan Gailey

Coach Fowler told us just to take five seconds of silence to put everything in perspective. We just needed to settle down and remember what we were playing for.

Angela Puleo

The next time one of my clients gets named in a regulatory complaint, the resolution should be that the penny-stock company should spend millions on furniture and liquor for the company, and we'll settle the case.

Bill Singer

There definitely is that element of guys who like to party and have a good time and... putting off for as long as possible the idea that they'll actually have to settle down.

Luke Wilson

Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond-studded wheelchair.

Dorothy Parker

You learn what each player does. That's all it is. Everybody's playing with new guys. Sometimes you see some weird bounces or weird passes, the chemistry's not there, but that will settle down the more games we play.

Steve Konowalchuk

I just felt that our mistakes could have gone our way. We came out a little scared. Our games with BC are usually back and forth, but the girls really started to settle and the momentum shifted back and forth a lot.

Laura Schuler

We tend to like a fast pace, so when you slow it down we get impatient. We knew we had to adjust to their pace because they had the lead. It took us a while to settle down.

Patricia Schultz

It takes the tree at least one season to settle in and get growing again, but with Dave and Sam's care, they grow faster.

Randy Randolph

They don't want to settle for the (Region III) quarterfinals.

Erica Garcia

We're trying to force low percentage shots. We need to take care of the ball more, continue to settle and work the options that we have set up.

Emily Edmonston

I am not belittling the brave pioneer men but the sunbonnet as well as the sombrero has helped to settle this glorious land of ours.

Edna Ferber

The 500 makes veterans nervous. It's a matter of bottling up those nerves and using it for you, not against you. It's a long month. You have to settle on a good pace and not come on too strong, early in the month.

Ted Carpenter

I really hope that it helps them to see they have options, that they don't have to settle, and there are people out there that want to help them.

Zyvonne Adams
