Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!
Henry David Thoreau

We've been working on that. We've been playing well like that. We've been distributing the ball well and hitting shots. It keeps teams on their toes, so they can't double-down on Trent and Connor all the time.
Josh Ruark
We always have to be on our toes and be alert and ready.
Bryan Rayner
The Hippodrome was drafty. Our toes had no feeling.
Roberta Childers
Mats' credentials speak for itself. He's reached out to the high school coaches and he made it clear right away that he wasn't intending to step on anyone's toes. It's good for the kids in the community to have choices for their summer basketball.
Grant Rice
They're pretty similar to us. They certainly don't rely on one guy. (Hussey) has a good touch on the ball, and he's a good runner. Both defenses have to be on their toes.
Mike Hathaway
My wife isn't married to me forever; she's married to me for good. That keeps me on my toes.
Mal Pancoast
Roberts had cannon of an arm so we have to be on our toes. We have to play our style of football, take care of the ball and grind it out and block up field.
Todd Butler
Columbia's style of play was good for us, because it kept us on our toes on defense. We knew we could see the ball coming over the net at any time and if we weren't alert and ready, it would hurt us.
Mike Dobbs
When someone as important as the Bank of Japan governor says something like that, it's enough to put investors on their toes, making them believe the fund injection could be decided at any time.
Hidenori Kawasaki
I just reminded myself that there was still a lot of time left in the match. I knew I had to stay on my toes. He's a really good wrestler.

A couple of years ago, they were just putting their toes in the water. Now they're saying the water's nice and jumping in.
Jamie Brown
It's back to the pond hockey days when we played on outdoor rinks when I was little and wore five layers of everything. I couldn't feel my toes and I couldn't feel my hands. It'll be the same feeling there, but it'll definitely be worth it. I'll be so excited I probably won't even be worried about how cold it is.
Jake Dowell
I feel a lot better running on this field (at the U.) everyday than I did in Arizona on their turf. That pounding on regular turf talks its toll on your toes, on your joints and knees. We appreciate this right here. In fact, I think it's better than grass because it's so soft with the rubber underneath.
Siaha Burley
It's nice to keep that living interaction between us. We're not exactly sure what's going to come out of the other person's mouth, so we're always on our toes. And there's a lot of room to improvise. We're always discovering new funny bits, so the show expands and contracts with that.
Shenoah Allen
Albania is a total mystery to me but I need as much international experience as possible to keep me on my toes with the Commonwealth Games in Australia looming next year.
Steve Simmons
I think that the basic philosophy was very good. It was just be nice to each other, and don't step on other people's toes and infringe on their freedom.
Kevin Ayers
So if you want your 7-year-old to join you, they'll be able to. And if you haven't ridden in 10 years and want to dip your toes in the water, this is something you can get your bike out, put air in your tires and give it a try.
Dave Marshall
Every not-for-profit in this area is struggling right now. We are just looking for the best way to fill any community void, and we need something to keep the kids busy. The intent is not to step on anybody's toes. We just want to be in line.
Steve Alexander
Can you see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 toes, one right here.
Larry Richardson
It's called 'The Stupidest Rock Tour of the Summer' for a reason. It's really crazy to see how anxious girls are to lick Don Vito's toes and do that kind of nasty stuff. The audience is crazier than these guys are most of the time.
Kevin Phillips
They look at all the little things, how you point your toes on toe-touches, whether your thumbs are sticking out. It's pretty detailed.
Kerry Munk
I think it is a great thing that we've got all these guys competing for starting positions. It keeps everybody on their toes and sharp. When you are rebuilding a team like we are, you need to take a good, long look at as many players as you can to find the right combinations.
Vinnie Currao
He (Carpenter) came on in relief and looked good against Cameron. He threw well in a reserve game so we figured that we would give him a look today. He certainly did a good job. I told the guys to be on their toes because he throws strikes. He's not going to hurt himself by walking too many batters. Our defense needed to be ready to get some outs and they did.
Rich Mercer
We have to be on our toes every day.
John Wingfield
I've always felt that two hospitals was good for the community. The competition has kept both hospitals on their toes.
James Simpson
We both came out of San Bernardino (Calif.) so they kind of knew each other from there and they're friends. It's going to be good to play them. We kind of know them and they're a good team so we just have to be on our toes.
Layton Aliviado
It's always fun to play Gehlen because we know it's gonna be a good game and it was, ... It's always hard to beat someone a second time, but I think we gained a lot of confidence in the game and they'll be pushing harder than ever when they play us again, so we'll have to be on our toes.
Linda Christensen
There is always something on the boil at the moment and that keeps people on their toes.

It's a huge challenge. It is stressful. You can't let up. You have to be on your toes every minute.
Cynthia Coulthurst
They're not just getting their toes done.
Philip Raper
I don't step on toes, LittleJohn, I step on necks!
Chuck Norris
This keeps everyone on their toes and allows a kid who is just outside of the varsity team to control his own destiny and move up to the varsity team. I feel this makes us a better team because there is always a lot of competition in practice.
Mal Strange
Competition keeps everyone on their toes. We've already seen greater co-operation in High Point in terms of transportation and hotels.
Arash Yaraghi
I do honestly feel that we had a favorable meeting Feb. 1. We still have a lot of work to do. We are by no means finished, but I keep my fingers and toes crossed we can continue to make progress.
Shaun Rinier
They're not in the same boat as everyone else, but they're sticking a couple of toes in the same boat. They are feeling the same pressures as everyone else.
David Strine
We'll do all the Bruins' home games in HD, and we'd like to do all the road games, too. The limiting factor is the availability of HD production trucks. Sometimes we forget NESN was in the forefront of the HD movement and that other markets are still getting their toes wet.
Doug Wheeler
Angels cry because they want to experience what you and I feel: the moment. They live in eternity. They don't know what it is like to read a newspaper and get ink on your fingers. They don't know what it is like to take your shoes off and wiggle your toes under the dinner table.
Carlos Santana
When you put his arm that was not bitten into an uncomfortable position, he does try to move that into a position of comfort, ... He wiggles his toes. As yet, we don't have a sense that on any continuous basis he knows exactly where he is ... but he does respond to outside stimuli.
Rob Patterson
I am happy I have competition. It keeps me on my toes all the while and stops me from becoming complacent. So, it works to my advantage.
Amisha Patel
This is probably one of the most athletic teams I've had. I'm going to be able to move players around to keep opposing defenses on their toes.
Blake Budrow
He keeps us on our toes, because you can be gone one race to the next no matter the outcome.
Pavle Jovanovic
They are a great team that can just run the floor like that. We had to be on our toes, but unfortunately they hurt us like that.
Michelle Haney
I don't think a whole lot of people are ready for our sound. A lot of times, when we are finished performing a song, people have this deer-in-the-headlights look, but that's good. Our music keeps them on their toes.
Ryan Confer
Playing with the lead kept us on our toes.
Bill Hutton
They have all stepped it up. Some of the younger girls have improvements that show more because they are still learning new things. The older girls have improved on the little things, like pointing toes. They're all competing hard.
Melissa Arms
You know the risk of having a bold agenda is that you get to step on multiple toes. In his first period as governor, by moving swiftly, he has given people more than one reason to disapprove of his actions.
Robert Dion
The lady who wins will get toes, nails, a massage ? the whole works.
Lonnie Guy
From the top of our heads to the bottom of our toes, physical activity is the stimulus that gets almost all our organs working at their best.
Miriam Nelson
I think to the extent that it keeps them on their toes, it's a good thing. It certainly helps, so long as they continue being peaceful.
Angelo Amador
That?s not very many points. It?s maybe a point difference in a couple of dives. It might be as simple as pointing your toes in a couple of dives. He?s come very close.
George Baldwin
We didn't want to play on our heels. We wanted to play on our toes. At the end of the day we won the game and are going to state.
Wil Nichol
I think it is an understandable and pretty predictable course for him to take. Murdoch is a nervous guy. The idea that he might be missing out on something is awfully painful. But he is just dipping his toes in. Why buy these? Partly because he can afford them. He's not making big bets here.
Michael Wolff
People are just starting to get their toes wet in this technology. They haven't deployed it full-fledged across the entire application infrastructure.
Brian Babineau
It ran on its toes, especially when it got going. That's what all fast animals do.
David S. Berman
Stopped counting when you can't keep track on your fingers and toes anymore.
David Benoit
We welcome (competition) in some respects. It keeps us on our toes.
Yancey Casey
I hate to say it like this, and I almost can't without stepping on anyone's toes, but you've got to think about this. If you invite someone to live in your home and they don't want to leave when they have the opportunity, you have to go through the entire eviction process to get them out. That's difficult and costly. We needed better shelters to set these people up in.
Tim Bogy
A little competition is great. It helps us grow, keeps us on our toes, and helps us provide better products. Bring it on, Starbucks. We can show you a thing or two.
Robin Foster
I've got a new team, and for me that's the exciting part. I have a whole new job, basically, because my job is to work with these guys. It keeps me on my toes.
Jerry Royster
I thought Mandy did an excellent job pitching. She kept moving the ball around, changed the speed up and kept them on their toes.
Suzette Hartvigsen
The runner that scored the winning run was on her toes. She did what we asked her to do which is whenever there is a play, turn the base and look. And when the catcher threw to first she broke for home.
Obie Galindo
That really put me on my toes, put me on my toes to make sure that I did.
Patricia Mckinney

Mike Bassett
My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.
Ginger Rogers
What's important to me, ... is that we do good storytelling. I think we've been doing that and keep the audience on their toes, keep it topical. And, just to reinforce what Alan said before, is that both points of view are strong and I think since last season we've been doing that and will continue doing that.
Jimmy Smits
Nobody has any enthusiasm for what we are doing because we always have to be on our toes to keep from getting knocked down.
Joetta Rinehart
I didn't want to step on anybody's toes (when I first came here), but now I'm comfortable.
Lance Galbraith
It's a lot of work. It makes everybody nervous and everyone is on their toes, from the production television people to the computer system people. We don't want to make any mistakes.
Chuck Strutt
Most people read poetry listening for echoes because the echoes are familiar to them. They wade through it the way a boy wades through water, feeling with his toes for the bottom: The echoes are the bottom.
Wallace Stevens
People are starting to dip their toes in the water and figure out the models for this.
Jeremy Schwartz
We are excited about the Tiny Toes Maternity Program. This service allows us to better serve our community and help parents through the often overwhelming experience of pregnancy.
Chris Wolf
You going from being on your toes on every play at second base and then suddenly you are just out there. You have to see the way the ball comes off the bat -- the different reads you have to take, the different jumps you have to get. It's still a work in progress. I can't say that I do everything right. It's just a matter of working on it.
Brandon Watson
I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I'd match this facility against any in the country. I've seen a lot of tracks and the amenities here stack up against any weekly dirt track out there.
Bill Sawyer
We have to stay on our toes because they will be coming for us. They are at home so we'll have to bring our 'A' game.
Hassan Adams
And the pain meds were not working, either. Chester was sitting in his basket, sucking on his back toes, and that's one of the ways I knew he was in pain.
Brett Sharman
He had infections in both of his big toes and he told our training staff to do what they had to do to get him fixed up as soon as possible because we were counting on him to make plays. That kind of attitude is infectious. They removed both toe nails ... he healed quicker than we thought he would and he got himself back out there.
Don Matthews
He once had his toes amputated so he could stand closer to the bar.
Mike Harding
Xerox has pretty much stepped on its own toes in a way, by implementing a number of restructurings all at one time last year.
James Corridore
It keeps us on our toes, ... But we think we differentiate ourselves in several key ways.
Michael Levy
The swimming dinosaur had four limbs and it walked on its hind legs, which each had three toes. The tracks show how it became more buoyant as it waded into deeper water -- the full footprints gradually become half-footprints and then only claw marks.
Debra Mickelson
There is a 30% chance of rain for round #2 on Sunday, so we are hoping Mother Nature will cooperate. The track will be trick today, so we will have to stay on our toes.
Chuck Ford
I tell you what really turns my toes up: love scenes with 68-year-old men and actresses young enough to be their granddaughter.
Mel Gibson
You've got to be on the toes, ... You've got to know what you're talking about.
Peter Mayhew
We qualified the whole team again. I'm not disappointed any bit. Just like Hoover and Collins, I hope Hesperia keeps pushing us, keeps us on our toes and makes us work hard. I hope we're doing the same to them. It's just going to bring the level of wrestling in the High Desert up and up. It's an exciting time for wrestling.
Rocky Humphrey
[Fulbright was] always a wonderful, warm, intelligent human being. I enjoyed his intensity. ... You really had to be on your toes.
Gretta Bader
The flying was terrifying at first. You look down and there's nothing but your toes and the stage. Now, it's a dream. This whole show for me has been just checking off the list of childhood dreams. I can just kind of move to Connecticut after this.
David Turner
I think the BBC finds it difficult not to compete. Competition in some areas is a good thing, because it provides better consumer choice and keeps everyone on their toes. But it can also destroy the development of the commercial sector, because we can't afford to meet the BBC's position.
Ralph Bernard
When I wok up in intensive care after almost three weeks unconscious, I only realized how serious my injuries were when I saw my hands and feet were black. Then I put two and two together. . . . I'm definitely going to lose bits of my fingers and toes. And they say I could be in here for another six months.
Ryan Wilson
The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes... It's not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.

We'll be on our toes. Usually if there's more to it that involves our students, we'll know it pretty quickly.
Gaither Bumgardner
She was burned in multiple places over her body from her head to her toes.
Gregory Clark
We have to keep the crowd on their toes.
Iain Dowie
I've had some good fortune in this building. It's always challenging. The two sides (upstairs and downstairs) play differently. There's a lot of obstacles here and a lot of things that keep you on your toes. But the fans here are great and I think it's our most prestigious tournament.
Chris Barnes
Proper etiquette when having a meal means just being on your toes and aware of your surroundings.
Patrick Hayes
Off-the-cuff changes in the prizes certainly keep us on our toes, but what a great recruiting message. We really do enjoy treating our employees well.
Wendy Ward
Spectators who witnessed that concert, ... still recount his fearless attitude, innate stage charisma and striking technique -- balancing on toes, slapping the floor with the sides of his shoes, releasing cascades of musical sounds while powering off the boards with both legs kicking.
Michael Barnes
The four of us sit as kind of a board of directors for 12 incredibly important functions. It's very important that we get more diversity on the Cabinet. It's not a good thing to have all four positions on the Cabinet run by one political party where they aren't about to step on each other's toes.
Alex Sink
Matches are always at a quick pace and physical in this tournament. You have to be on your toes every moment. That's a reason we've been back in this tournament for five straight years. All the Garland schools are really talented.
Rick Woodard
Certainly we want to be on our toes and prepared for the newest, most threatening pest, but let's not forget the fox that's already in the hen house.
Greg Tylka
You're bare naked up there. It's very one-dimensional. You have to take that vision and enlarge it into a two- or three-dimensional presentation. It keeps me on my toes. I wouldn't go back for any amount of money.
Chris Hillman
A long time ago, the major mode of transportation was the horse. But when Apache were walking in the hills or mountains, this would protect their toes from rocks and cactus.
Lisa Perry
We just tried to throw some guys at him and be physical. Just keep him on his toes.
Jordan Hasquet
It was tough for our guards to get through their traps. It kept us on our toes.
Kenton Paulino
With New Zealand pulling out of the tour here which would have been this week, we have had to resort to hosting a local competition to keep our boys on their toes.
Paula Raqeukai
This is only halftime - we have to keep on our toes and do to the business at home. You have to be patient playing against 10 men, but we stayed calm and tried to come around the sides. But we kept out heads and tried to play our way.
Henrik Larsson
I had to learn to avoid stepping on (her) toes, and that made me more nimble on my feet.
George Mikan
I haven't come to tread on anyone's toes and I want this to be made quite clear.
Diego Maradona
Le Mans runs on a longer track with 48 cars. At Daytona, with more cars and shorter run, drivers are always passing or being passed. You have to been on your toes at all times.
Tommy Archer
Competition is good. It makes us better. It keeps us on our toes. In a city like this, it's good to have alternatives.
Jim Glancy
The fear of a replication of that is going to keep the market on its toes and we could easily test $70 a barrel.
Marshall Steeves
I don't think most people think of our type of music as catchy but it is. It's just like a polka. Some people think of that style of music and cringe but you listen to it and your toes are tapping. The same thing goes for Irish music.
George Millar
There is always pressure even when you are a rookie and it will always keep you on your toes and a little bit of pressure is nice. I'll have to do the same things I did last year. Be a grinder and be a physical player and help the goal scorers and create room for them and maybe get a few points, while I'm doing that. But really just do what is best for the team and come out with some wins.
Evan Fuller
We've been getting pretty consistent efforts from just about everybody. We can start five different players at any time and that's been a blessing, because it keeps everybody on their toes.
Eric Levie
They've got other kids, too, that can slap this ball around in the back of your own net, too. So we're definitely going to have to be on our toes defensively.
Eric Curtis
It was a good weekend for Aaron. With one small mistake (Williams) was able to take advantage against him, but as far as I'm concerned, it was a great integration for him to learn. He's a kid that's interested in improving himself. He keeps me on my toes with questions because that's the type of young man he is.
Eric Stone
I'm worried about the litigation. I'm doing this. And I'm crossing my toes.
Elinor Scricca
The Pobble who has no toes / Had once as many as we; / When they said, `Some day you may lose them all'; / He replied - `Fish fiddle de-dee!'
