Those encompass at least a day or two in court (per week).

Joel Baker

He has the ability to score, the question is if he can do enough of the other things to get playing time. You score when your coach is confident enough to put you out there enough to let you score.

Beau Greely

Everyone sits on the floor to have food, whether you are a king or a pauper. You are supposed to be eating a holy meal with your brothers and sisters and don't need the luxury of eating meat. It is not necessary here. So why do it? We are allowed to eat meat at home. It is not forbidden.

Priya Paul

Superstition Vistas sits out there vacant, not because there aren't buyers for it, but because we can't plan it. We don't have the money. Our inability to plan the land has caused development to leap over it. That's not supposed to happen.

Dale Groutage

Rather do what is nothing in the purpose than to be idle, that the devil may find thee doing. The bird that sits is easily shot when the fliers escape the fowler. Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all the virtues, and is the self-made sepulcher of a living man.

Francis Quarles

Some say the church experience has lots of flash and very little depth, or in other words, a mile wide and an inch deep. But many (large churches) have small groups, and that's the key.

The NCAA sits there and says, 'Hey, you can't make any money. And then it's, 'Oh, by the way, good luck trying to sue us because we'll drag you down on the legal expenses.' That's how much money they've got. At that point, Jeremy got himself into a hole.

It wasn't until they mentioned [these behaviors] to us in the training that we all went, 'Wow'. None of us had experience where we noticed someone was being physically abused.

Terry Fontenot

Everybody sits around a table, with the judge seated at the head.

Michael Woods

He handles himself very well with people, and he rides a very, very clever race. He lets horses run away from the gate, and he places them. And then he sits still, and he watches. If somebody goes outside, he goes inside. Or somebody goes inside, he goes outside. He knows how to cover all bases.

Steve Bass

I get out there once in a while. I don't want to be the old guy who sits in the corner, and everyone wonders what he's doing there.

Ernie Harwell

He was very generous to me. It was extremely beneficial because you can always learn some things that are not on the page or not expressed - things that he might say, or things that he might not say.
