For Orpheus' lute was strung with poets' sinews, Whose golden touch could soften steel and stones, Make tigers tame, and huge leviathans Forsake unsounded deeps to dance on sands.
William Shakespeare

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure , the process is its own reward.
Amelia Earhart
[... Cliff Lee (15-4) shut out the Tigers for eight innings, but is it good pitching that has put the Tigers in this tailspin?] I'm not sure about that, ... I think we're doing it to ourselves.
Craig Monroe
Give credit to the Lady Tigers. They made the plays when they needed to win the ball game.
Jimmy Alexander
In this case, the country has no choice but to make peace with the communities that share the tiger's home. If not, we will lose the war of conservation, tiger by tiger.
Sunita Narain
With the Giants desperate for a victory, it was an obvious strategy for them to pitch around the Tigers' most potent hitter.
William Kelly
(Former Tigers pitcher) Dave Mlicki made $6.2 million last year. This year he's making $750,000. Good. The problem isn't that he took a huge cut. The problem is he was never worth $6 million.
Doug Pappas
The perception is that somehow they're paper tigers, and they aren't. Everybody needs to hope the higher seeds hold on and win their tournaments. If Gonzaga had gotten beat the other night, that would have taken up one of the other spots.
Thomas Yeager
In order to achieve that, the Tigers probably want some more military success. There might be a brief period of fighting before any possibility of negotiations resurfaces. Hopefully the fighting, though it may be intense, will be short-lived.
Rohan Edrisinha
The ... Tigers were not involved in any activity that breaches the ceasefire agreement.
Daya Master
We felt like we were in this thing the whole time. We've got that spirit, that attitude that we are never giving up, that we will not give up until the end. But they (the Tigers) are really good. I couldn't believe how fast they are, up and down the court. They are tall, long, athletic.
Stefon Jackson
So that it would look like a tiger's skin.
Robert Marshall
Ian (Thorpe) is now in the top three most recognized sports stars in Japan behind Tigers Woods and David Beckham. (But) it is a getting to know you process ... Ian has been to Asia at least 20 times and immersed himself in the culture.
Dave Flaskas
We have a new middle name. Call us the Lady 'One bad inning' Tigers. Two runs is not hard to pick up. But the third inning -- and that's what it's been all season. The girls know that.
Charlene Reyes
Of course, especially because I had money [coming to me]. I was hoping for them to go to the playoffs, because I wanted a full [playoff] share. Of course, I wanted them to win. Once [the Tigers] were out, I wanted them to win the World Series.
Placido Polanco
It will be fun to be out there. It's nice to be amongst Tiger's group, because that's where the main crowd is, and that's what we work for.
Rod Pampling
The shooting has taken place in an area frequented by the Tigers.
Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe
There's not a situation that can come up that he hasn't been through and can't give you advice on. It'll be a tremendous loss for the Tigers' organization. These kids listen to him and learn a lot from him.
Tom Brookens
As far as the Liberation Tigers are concerned, I can assure you that we are seriously and sincerely committed to peace and that we will strive our utmost to ensure the success of the negotiations.
Anton Balasingham
The JC option is more to keep his options open, whether that means continuing to talk to the Tigers through the coming year, or enter next year's draft rather than wait three years. It's an indicator of how anxious he is to play and get his career going.
Brian Goldberg
I've always been able to control myself. If I go back down and the Tigers find something I have to work on, then hopefully I'll go back and show them that I can do what they want me to do up here.
Justin Verlander
The international community believes the Tigers are behind the majority of the attacks on security forces.
Helen Olafsdottir
The Tigers are looking for an exit and I think the next few weeks will be very, very crucial. Unless we are able to have direct talks with the Tigers soon, war will be inevitable.
Harry Gunatillake
Tiger's a pretty bright guy. He's adjusting. ... We've seen the same light.
Raymond Floyd
The Detroit Tigers Reader.
Grantland Rice
Beating the Auburn Tigers never gets old, even after 27 years. The pressure and the magnitude of this event never ceases to amaze me.
Sarah Patterson
But we won't be putting all our eggs in the one basket as the Tigers are much taller than us right across every position.
Phil Smyth
From the style and weapons used we're convinced it's the work of the Tigers. It's definitely the work of the LTTE.
Chandra Fernando
Ferrets share lots of things in common with tigers. They're both nocturnal, and they mark their areas with their scent.
Laura Warner
Yes, we talk to the Tigers because they are armed. But they are also proving to be clever in negotiations.
Harry Gunatillake
We are hoping this time the Tigers will respond favorably and ease the violence that has reached unbearable levels in the north and east.
Palitha Kohona
We strongly suspect the Tigers because he had threats from the LTTE. Two weeks ago, too, we arrested two suspected LTTE men who had been spying on the minister.
Daya Ratnayake
The frustrating part is that I still do not know who I could call with the Tigers who has the authority to get a deal done.
Brian Goldberg
Forest conversion is the root cause of the conflict between people and animals, whether it is elephants raiding fields or tigers attacking livestock.
Nazir Foead
All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
Mao Zedong
I played with Tiger and Vijay in the Mercedes. I said to my brother and my wife, 'Tiger's playing unbelievable. Vijay is putting unbelievable.' A betting man would back Tiger, the way he's playing.
Craig Parry
Honaker plays good basketball and we're lucky to get a win here. Let me congratulate the Tigers. They have a good basketball team.
Jimmy Mcgee
They will be a formidable challenge. I feel like our team has the capabilities to beat anyone though. [The Tigers] play more of an open court game.
Chris Gobrecht
Importantly, we're taking Mark to the Tigers semi-final game on Tuesday to show him the current standard of Australian basketball.
Mark Cowan
Where there are no tigers, a wildcat is very self-important.
Korean Proverb
I don't really follow college basketball much, but I've been lead in the direction to pick Auburn as my favorite. I think they would be somewhat of an underdog, and that's right up my alley so I'll go with the Tigers.
Mark Martin
We are in for the biggest game to date today against Auburn High School. The Lady Tigers are highly regarded in the southern region of the state.
Malcolm Colbert
We really didn't have to fix anything in Tiger's swing. We just had to shape some shots, curve the ball a bit differently for some of the holes out there.
Butch Harmon
This is a really good circus. It has lions, tigers, dogs, monkeys and about any other animal act you can think of. There are a lot of great acts, and it's a two part, two hour show.
Howard Thompson
Now our parents think it looks great. The neighbours are pretty happy. If [the Tigers] win, we will keep it for a couple of weeks.
Justin Hill
You will not find a more dedicated, hardworking and respected individual that cares more about the Tigers and his coaching staff. However, for the Tigers to reach the next level, I feel it is appropriate to make a change at this time.
Dave Dombrowski
There are a lot of smuggling and illegal activities going on in that area, including illegal immigration. It could be one of those boats involved. We have checked with the Sea Tigers' western command. They have confirmed that they are not involved.
Seevaratnam Puleedevan
You don't get on a tiger's back unless you can ride that tiger. With faxes, digital images and e-mail, it doesn't take long to find someone with the specialty a patient needs.
Richard Corales
To grace my father's number, pitch in a Tigers uniform and get my first win (as a Tiger) and have him in the stands, you can't script it any better than that.
Jason Grilli
[Even though the Tigers didn't play a preseason game Friday night, Kirkland spent Friday going over special teams play and offense. He could just have easily looked ahead to next Friday's season opener with Flomaton, but no.] These past few weeks, we've worked on McKenzie, ... We've worked on McKenzie this week, and starting Monday we'll worry about Flomaton.
David Kirkland
We've got a bunch of young, solid pitchers out there that can all pitch at the major league level. So I think it's a great sign for the organization and for the Tigers in the future. As far as being in the middle of it, it's fun.
Justin Verlander
Phil is right here, he's close. Tiger's always close. As long as he's upright, he's close.
Rocco Mediate
I thought it was an exceptional day for the Tigers. We hit the ball hard and played good defense. Everyone had a chance to play. The competition gets a little better tomorrow, but overall I was very happy.
Yvette Girouard
[Cooper said after falling behind to the Tigers, 6-0, in the first game, the Bruins held their composure.] I was pleased with the way they reacted to adversity tonight, especially in the first game, ... Working through adversity will be a key for us when we start playing our league schedule.
Lori Cooper
I was real happy with the way Kim held down (the Tigers') big hitters. She was spotting her pitchers, moving the ball around and changing speeds.
Donna Proctor
By March - April they (the Tigers) may vacate the ceasefire because they also have to give effect to their words.
Harry Gunatillake
In the past, Sam, Graham and Ollie have been over to help out with coaching. However, the coaching we have been doing has been specific rather than as a team, so the Tigers boys haven't been over, but they are fully aware of how we are doing and they have passed on their best wishes for the final.
Dave Heybrock
The teams they've come up against, individually, you probably say have better players than (the Tigers).
James Grant
We exchanged views with relevant veteran organizations in the United States like the Flying Tigers and solicited veterans for their opinions.
Jiang Beichen
I worked out with him because he's a local kid. He's a quiet kid. When told what to do, he'll do it. He reminds me of Erik Averill (a 20th-round selection by the Tigers last year) because he has that changeup.
Travis Buck
West Lowndes came to town looking for a big win, but the Tigers had other ideas.
Chris Schuster
I had 37 lions and tigers, two chimpanzees, 10 or 12 baboons, a hundred big-horn rams, probably a hundred deer. Zoos would sell me this stuff or they'd trade.
Jeffrey Sharon
I stepped into the Tigers situation with no farm system and no general manager, ... I had to work with scouts as GM's and not being connected in the sport. I'm not trying to make any alibis, but it's tough. I didn't make any good decisions on hiring.
Mike Ilitch
The right conditions have not arisen for the (Tigers) to abandon the policy of independent statehood.
Velupillai Prabhakaran
We confirm that four Sea Tigers were released and handed over to the LTTE.
Helen Olafsdottir
The Tigers' time of 8:39 is the second-fastest time so far this season by a Division II team, with Pearl River running 8:35 last weekend. The effort definitely put the Tiger distance runners on the charts as one of the top contenders for state honors later in the year.
Jack Power
It's a good win against a team that was 9-1. If we don't beat somebody by 40, everybody is saying, 'What's going on with the Tigers?' They have scholarships too. They came out and had a game plan on how they were going to play, but they turned it over 19 times.
John Calipari
In the first phase, wildlife officials will take photographs of the tigers, count their numbers and put radio collars on four tigers.
Atanu Raha
With over two thirds of all wagers placed on Woods winning at least three majors this year, it's clear that bettors don't put anything out of Tiger's reach. Although he'll certainly be a clear favorite in each leg of the Grand Slam, both history and the odds are against Tiger Woods achieving golf immortality by capturing all four majors this year for a Tiger Slam.
Simon Noble
The Tigers have built a much stronger military machine in the four years of the cease-fire. If the intensity of the war increases, there is no doubt they have developed a capability to strike in Colombo.
Iqbal Athas
There is no connection whatsoever between us and this attack. The Liberation Tigers were not involved in any activity that breaches the cease-fire agreement.
Daya Master
My top students all swing differently, ... Adam Scott swings like Tiger Woods, and everybody thought I created a swing for Adam that is like Tiger's. That's not the case. When Adam came to me at age 19, that's how he swung. We've just refined it since.
Butch Harmon
The kids fought so hard. But we ended up having to foul (the Tigers) and send them to the line.
Mandie Olson
We just had to keep fighting and never gave up. The Alamogordo Tigers have heart. We kept fighting.
Will Bynum
Actually, I didn't know that. I like to name my characters after baseball players. Alan Trammell of the Tigers is one of my favorites.
Joe Eszterhas
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,/ And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,/ Stealing my breath of life, I will confess/ I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!
Claude Mckay
It's a horrible way for them (Tigers) to lose, and you never feel happy for that, but I've been there before. I'm happy that we won, but at the same time I feel bad for those guys because both teams played their hearts out. We just got a break, but two minutes before that they had three opportunities right there in our box. It was exciting, back and forth, and either side could have won this game.
James Causey
Tigers are not stuffed toys. Cute babies grow up to be unmanageable adults who are often relegated to cramped cages or dungeon-like basements or are simply abandoned.
Debbie Leahy
McDonough said, referring to the Hall-of-Fame announcer who spent more than four decades as the voice of the Detroit Tigers. ''I thought I'd be with the Red Sox all my career. Really, it's the only play-by-play job I ever wanted.
Ernie Harwell
[They] glanced at one another like tigers taking measure of a menacing new rival.
Erich Segal
Tiger's a top player, but the overall competition has just been great. We've had all of our top players win this year (Woods, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh). We want the networks to be profitable, and we want to assist them in their sales efforts. I think we'll be fine.
Ed Moorhouse
We had difficulty with their zone, but we got some shots and they weren't going down for us. (The Tigers) play great defense. They get out into the passing lanes all the time, and we knew that but couldn't overcome it.
