There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare

Noreen Carvolth
I was very encouraged. They say a rising tide lifts all boats.
Stephen Lindsay
We don?t know how long they were stranded. If they come in on a high tide in the evening, they could be up there for eight to 10 hours. All their internal organs are being compromised.
Tony Lacasse
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, until it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the time and place that the tide will turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
I wouldn't say it's a slam-dunk, but we've found fish everywhere we've fished. We fished Possession Bar on Sunday morning and didn't get a legal fish, so we went over to Double Bluff and did OK. But I heard Possession did come on at the same time, on the low tide.
Gary Krein
Tony Giordano's 3-pointers put an end to our comeback and turned the tide. Take your pick. All three were big.

Anne Hedges

Gene Hackman
We moved the ball and ran the offense early. We showed patience but then Bellevue turned the tide back on us with increased intensity. They took away our second-chance shots and really took control. We battled back in the third and rallied when we ran the offense again.
Dick Heller
The law is not so much carved in stone as it is written in water, flowing in and out with the tide.
Jeff Melvoin
This is the aftermath of red tide. It's the worst year for fish and marine mammal kills, definitely.

Jesse Diaz
Life is a tide; float on it. Go down with it and go up with it, but be detached. Then it is not difficult.
Prem Rawal
She ate so many clams that her stomach rose and fell with the tide.
Louis Kronenberger
I truly believe the tide is turning. Next year, you are going to see more legislation that is going to cut funding to illegal aliens.
Susan Tully

Mark Slotsve
Speed is never guaranteed. There's definitely high tide and low tide.

Bob Mcdonald
It's probably my fault that the tide turned right there. I took my own team out of the game. You just can't have that happen in that situation. They played their hearts out.
Brad Hemphill
It's never a question of will it flood, it's a question of when is high tide.
Joan Meschino
She's a very powerful hitter and she stepped in and ran off five service points with two aces and that turned the tide.
Patty Avery
A tide like that prevents the normal drainage from all the creeks and streams that normally drain into the bay. It's like a dam. You combine a 7-foot tide with 15- to 20-foot seas, and you can see why people are worried. Luckily, it's not a commute morning.
Mike Pechner
I thought our third goal was huge. But they turned the tide, scoring twice to get right back in it. But our fourth goal broke their backs.
Scott Knutson
The tide is turning against cheap flights and airport expansions. Residents and Earth First! direct action activists are working together now.
Joss Stone
You can sort of think of it as a tide going out. Gold isn't affected by the tide, because it isn't a fiat currency. So when the value of currencies drops, it emerges as a big rock.
Bill Rhodes
That is the most insane (style), playing that team. It's crazy. There's nothing you can do to stop the tide.
Rick Sabosky
The tide has turned; the dust has settled. The controversy and lack of having hard data has been in a sense some noise for businesses, so they did not even hear the message. Now they want to move forward.
Craig Spiezle
Is about IBM not fighting the open-source tide, but choosing to ride it.
Stephen O'grady
We felt like the tide was about to turn. We had to play on all cylinders for four quarters and I think we played on 2 cylinders for two quarters. And the two quarters where we didn't play on all cylinders, it showed.
Mark James
The same thing is happening on the barrier islands, like Longboat Key and Anna Maria, when you have a red tide in the area, ... But the data is not at a fine enough resolution to tease out the economic impact.
Chuck Adams
Entering upon the high tide of its identity.
David Kennedy
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

Susan Schmidt
My hometown was so dull that one time the tide went out and never came back.
Fred Allen
It could have been an awful lot worse. We had 16 to 18 inches of sound tide (flooding) this morning. It didn't go in anyone's house that I know of. Just enough to cover the roads.
Dwight Burrus
In low tide, the eelgrass meadows lay over flat on the mud flats. On a high tide, they go vertical. They're very dense meadows, and these meadows provide very important cover for things like juvenile Dungeness crab.
Tom Gaskill
Laughter and grief join hands. Always the heart Clumps in the breast with heavy stride; The face grows lined and wrinkled like a chart, The eyes bloodshot with tears and tide. Let the wind blow, for many a man shall die.
Karl Shapiro
For far too long, people suffering from this disorder have had to deal with the theory that this is all societal, that somehow they choose to have anorexia, or parents have had to deal with the blame placed on them because somehow their parenting style caused this. Now, they know that they really need to go against the tide of their biology to overcome this.
Cynthia M. Bulik

Ross Norman
When a just cause reaches its flood tide - whatever stands in the way must fall before its overwhelming power.

I hope and pray the tide don't turn, but I do think they will keep bringing it up.
Denny Crowe
I came here to graduate, play for the Crimson Tide and be part of the alumni here and family and history that they've got here. So that's what I did, stay here with these guys.

Rick Sanford
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.
Johnny Cash
This was the week that the administration discovered the tide wouldn't come in forever on presidential powers. Partly, that is because so much time has passed without a new attack. And partly, it is because there were so many missteps.
Richard Falkenrath
It's been like this pretty much all year, ... I don't think anyone on the Gulf Coast could have expected a year like this. There have constantly been things going on, with the storms and then the red tide, keeping us from coming out.
Chris Coffey
We got a pretty good pounding on the beach, so that remains to be seen with erosion. But the tide was about a foot and a half above normal, and earlier we were told it could be two to four feet.
Harry Conover
I don't think they are in our heads, I don't think that at all. I just think they are a pretty good hockey club and they've had their way with us a little bit here, and this gives us an opportunity to change the tide here.
John Tortorella
I think that (the third inning) turned the tide for this team - because there was a different look in their face when they came off the field - because they don't like to play poor defense. It was the spark that we needed.
Loretta Shane
With a new type of nozzle for applying the ozone under water, we can have a very efficient destruction of the cell and toxin without releasing the ozone into the atmosphere. So it looks very promising. It is going to affect any marine organism in the area, but with red tide there won't be much alive there.
Rich Pierce
This has been one of the more severe red tide years.
Richard Pierce
This was a good game for some individuals and a good game for the team. There was a good feeling in the locker room afterward because we came back. It was good to see us step up and stem the tide.
Tom Marryott
Not long after the evacuation was completed, the plane crashed into the water about 50 metres offshore on an outgoing tide at about 9.40pm.

Cal Wells Iii
In the second period we turned the tide. We started doing the little things that make us successful. And that led to the big things, which is goals.
Wil Nichol
The Senate hearing turned the tide.
Barbara Matthews
The tide has just turned. LGBT elders are getting to an age when they want their housing needs addressed. It's time to increase our visibility and stand up for LGBT seniors.
Thomas Shannon
Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night.
Hal Borland
I also think if you're an actor and you can improvise, when you go on an audition and you can improvise you're just a genius. If you can, you know, take a Tide commercial and you can just say one funny line that's not in the commercial they think you're a genius.
Amy Poehler
This is the only lighthouse we've ever read about or heard about that has tide pools designed for the handicapped, where you can actually take a wheelchair, go down ramps and go into the Pacific Ocean and touch the urchins and the starfish. That really impressed us.
Merv Adams
It appears that these red tide events are increasing in nature, especially on Florida's west coast. I think that manatees and other animals impacted by these events are sentinels for serious environmental and human problems, and in fact our research makes a strong case for potentially severe human red-tide impacts.
Gregory Bossart
This is the quiet time. Now is the time to act to push back the tide of HIV in Asia.
David Bloom
We're looking at swells in the 15- to 19-foot range Saturday morning, coinciding with a high tide at 10:45 a.m. of seven feet. Stay away from the water. Surf that high may be pretty to look at, but rather difficult to predict. Breakers can unexpectedly wash over the beach and rocks. They create rip currents and beach erosion. It's not advisable to get terribly close.
Diana Henderson
Graham is as Southern as black-eyed peas, scuppernong wine, she-crab soup, Crimson Tide tailgating and a dog with ticks. She is so relentlessly Southern she makes me feel that I was born in Minnesota!
Pat Conroy
That play turned the tide of the game. It was a case of two girls trying their hardest. Ashley had the ball in her glove. We couldn't come back after that.
Keith Fithen
There's a windy, strong northerly ebb tide making rescue efforts difficult, ... Very soon, most likely it would be a recovery effort.
Joanne Hayes
Just a flood of money turned the tide for some people who probably were close to being beat.
Carolyn Boyle
You hate to say it, but that changed the complexion of the game. Honestly, the tide of the game changed when she left the field.
Brad Jadwin
I think this was a very big win. Vermont is a team that we always point to as a big game. We haven't been very successful against them. They're an outstanding program, and we wanted to start another home win streak and change the tide.
Rich Conover
We all understood why they called the game. If that happened to one of our players, we wouldn't have really had the mindset to play -- we wouldn't have even cared -- so I'm glad they didn't make the Crimson Tide players go through that. It was understandable, and we had no problem with it. It was the right decision.
Jack Kramer
The case is on appeal now and we expect to be successful. I feel sorry for Hazel Park. Like all municipalities at low tide in revenues, to have to put up with a frivolous lawsuit is difficult for Hazel Park and its residents. They will have to spend hard-earned dollars (to defend it).
Andrew Jarvis
The play of the game was the missed block out on the free throw and he got the offensive rebound and put it back in and that kind of turned the tide right there. He did the things that he needed to do when his team needed to win. That's what we're searching for. We're searching for someone to make those kinds of plays in defining moments.
Tim Buckley
The fact of the matter is that we are facing a small group of bitter-enders who are basically trying turn the tide of history.
Paul Bremer
When that happens, it's a clock. It's nature's clock, and we are able to predict tide levels based on what we record today. Today, as I speak, right in front of me there's a construction crew. I'm looking out the window and they're driving pilings and pouring concrete for a dock. You would hope the engineers knew just how high the highest tide would be there.
Jim Dixon
If we could get rid of these hurricanes and red tide, we'd be OK. We've just been killed this year with all of that.
Brenda Bell
We are positioning ourselves for the future. We hope to turn the tide in the South.
Darren Johnson
I must down to the sea again, for the call of the running tide / Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.
John Masefield
By the time we left that meeting our alarm factor was off the chart. If you knew what I know, I promise you that you would have some sleepless nights. Because of our Government?s total lack of interest in even securing our nations borders, much less closing them, our company has planned a mission to turn the tide on border policy. Our company is eminently qualified for this mission.
Randy Mckinney
We've been able to do all those things in one of the most difficult markets in history, ... If that's what we are able to do in tough times think what will happen when the tide turns.
Joe Moglia
Constituents have been galvanized. We're starting to turn the tide.
Adina Levin
There's a tremendous tide of freedom that came out of the civil rights movement.
Taylor Branch
At least some in the purchaser community, who have been paying 20 percent and 25 percent increases in their health insurance premiums, will take notice of this rising tide.
Marc P. Volavka
Each small candle lights a corner of the darkWhen the wheel of pain stops turning And the branding iron stops burningWhen the children can be children When the desperados weaken When the tide rolls into greet themAnd the natural law of science Greets the humble and the mighty And a billion candles burning Lights the dark side of every human mind.
Roger Waters
[His wife shuddered thinking of the terrifying tide of corpses floating in the flood.] I couldn't go back to that, ... Some of them could be my family.
Anthony Powell
We started squeezing them a little bit (with the zone), and we were able to turn the tide, and our kids just made plays. That's the team that we can be consistently, that second-half team.
Andy Blackston
If you go on club rides, you will see that a lot of the bikes are the same. We hope that Project One turns the tide a little bit.
Tom Kuefler
We don't have to be a lot different and we just have to keep hoping the tide will turn. If we don't come out and play like we have all series, it's over.
Ryan Macdonald
There are things that will kill red tide but we have to be careful we're not using something worse than red tide.
Rich Pierce
One of the main reasons for the lottery scholarships was an attempt to stem the tide of many of the best high school students in South Carolina leaving the state. Clearly that is working.
Russ Mckinney
Where it's coming from, I can't tell you. There's a lot of stirred up and muddy water going through there. There's also millions of dead fish from Red Tide.
Albert Gray
I didn't pay too much attention to Auburn. It was always 'Roll Tide' at my house. Auburn was the only school in the state that didn't recruit me and they were the closest to my high school.
Chris Jackson
This storm, if it stays on its current track, timing and pace, it should hit Onslow County at high tide and during an astronomically high-tide cycle.
Mark Goodman
It's a very low-lying area, ... There's a very huge tidal fluctuation here on a normal tide and, with a storm tide on top of that, most of the facilities are going to be under water that are on the waterfront.
Larry Greene
I think the tide is turning in favor of the employee or job seeker versus the company.
Rich Yamarone
When people realize that they are safe from criminals and that those who commit capital crimes will be kept out of society for very long periods of time, then I think the tide will turn against the death penalty.
Sister Helen Prejean
An edge like along the north shore of the main harbor is a highway for big fish, ... You don't catch a lot of them when you set up on a spot like that, but if you set there an hour or two on a good, moving tide, you're likely to get a fish over 30 inches.
Scott Moore
I thought Terrance's basket swung the tide at the end of overtime. Those are the guys who help you win a game like this.
Tom Grassa
The tide continues to rise and everybody is benefiting, but you'll notice Rockwell did great in the U.S. It was up 15%.
Craig Resnick
We had a nice little run and kind of turned the tide a little bit. That's what you look for in your press.
Paul Aznarez
Democrats, and the liberal Democrats particularly, better watch out because this was a tide that would have its way because it was so important to people.
Ben Wattenberg
I think we have the turn of the tide. I think we're all on the same page.
Seth Tharp
For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave.
Pink Floyd
Not only is there not any jealousy, there is a lot of cheering and 'Go, girl, go,' ... It's a rising tide that lifts all boats.
Carolyn Bivens
Winter and spring are often seen as the low water seasons in the province, and it may encounter a lasting severe salt tide in early next year.
Huang Qingliang
Because of all the excitement surrounding the trip, and the change in routine, it's easy to set one of those small items down somewhere and lose it. Because most people don't put identifying information on portable electronics, even if someone with good intentions finds one, the owner has little chance of seeing the item again. But there is something you can do to turn the tide in your favor.
Karen Edwards
Both teams played a great game. The girls really turned the tide in the second half. We turned up the heat defensively which allowed us to cause some turnovers.
Eric Levie
People feel it's worth it now. I don't want to say they felt resigned before, but there's a feeling that the tide may turn right now - this may be the thing that works.
Emily Saur
Amnesty has long held that there have been a number of very serious questions about the safety of this product that remain unanswered. Now, it seems like the tide is turning and more and more credible bodies are weighing in on the issue.
Edward Jackson
We've got so many things against us, ... The red tide is hammering us, fuel prices are through the roof and the grouper closure will mean the peak season is totally shot. They're all nails in our coffin.
