We could have hung it up after the singles competition. I looked like an insurmountable lead. A guy once said that when I work harder I get luckier. I think we made a little bit of luck for ourselves in the doubles. It was an unbelievable come-from-behind-victory.

Jerry Lyon

He expressed that he watched the entire event. He sent us a message congratulating the team. He's not demanding a victory, simply saying that we play a good game, let the game decide who the best team is.

Pedro Cabrera

It's a victory for those who refused the offer because it would leave them with a huge tax bill.

Angela Knight

Today's victory was important for our condition, morale and conviction.

Clarence Seedorf

This isn't just a victory for victims; this is a victory for our justice system.

Jim Denny

Today's ruling is a victory for California consumers over insurers' brazen effort to undo Proposition 103 in Sacramento, which would have led to more uninsured drivers and made it harder for people who need insurance to get it.

Harvey Rosenfield

I'm so happy today. It's a victory for the women's rights movement.

Homa Arjomand

This is a very, very heavy cross for us to carry right now. The church will be resurrected. We will have the victory.

Sandra Gordon

We do not see an exit strategy about when and how the U.S. will withdraw from Iraq. Before a total victory, America will not withdraw. We see this as a dilemma for them.

Hassan Wirajuda

Yeah, I did (have the first score), but I try not to think about it. I just try to keep doing what I'm doing, try to be successful and come out with a victory in this game.

Darnell Bing

I was really pumped up for this game, because it's always a good game when we play against Sacred Heart. I knew I had to step up for us to get the victory.

Danielle Robinson

What is victory? Nobody has defined what victory is.

Jim Mcgovern

Even the smallest victory is never to be taken for granted. Each victory must be applauded...

Audre Lorde

This partnership is an absolute victory for health practitioners and will change the way they consume medical information to support their clinical decisions. Valuable partnerships like this are very important to our overall strategy of putting more and more relevant clinical information directly at the point of care.

Brian Nairn

I am happy with the victory. But I've found that Norway changed eight players from the first match against the US. So we should stay cool. And we still have a long way to go.

Ma Liangxing

If the court says this particular spending limit in Vermont is unconstitutional but there may be cases in which spending limits are warranted, that would certainly be a victory for the parties defending this law.

Spencer Overton

President Bush was in trouble. Nothing was going right, and the war in Iraq was rapidly losing support. Democrats smelled victory but kept bungling the chance. Their nominee was so unappealing that Bush and the GOP scored a giant victory.

Michael Goodwin

It's definitely mentally challenging to run in the rain. I went out really hard and certainly paid in the last mile for that. The sixth mile is why people say this is such a tough course. I'll take this (victory) rain or shine.

John Emerson

Before the match I would have been very content with a 1-0 win, but now the victory has a bitter taste.

Cosmin Olaroiu

What we wanted to do was not think of [the victory over Winthrop] as the win of the season. It's just a win and the first step in where we want to be.

Jack Leasure

The market has largely discounted a Bush victory.

Sharon Coombs

This is a competition in which players with different degrees of skills make up a unit. A victory by players on court No. 1 is worth six points since those performers are a team's ablest players. A triumph on No. 4, in contrast, earns only three points.

Carol Cunningham

[Butler cruised to victory over Glick, Melissa Davis, Bost, and Scott Chappell of Lodi.] We were fortunate to have a couple things go our way, ... The cautions got to me and I had to try and calm down.

Bobby Butler

What lack of justice to the series would rain be? Victory or death for both sides - a draw would be the biggest let-down of the millenium thus far.

Matthew Hoggard

It's sad that Coach had to go. I guess he had to move on. He had his reasons, but you know it feels pretty good to get the victory. I think we've done a good job so far of adjusting to a new coach.

Theo Sherman

The kids did a great job at halftime. They didn't panic. They listened to the coaches who did a great job making the adjustments. We're going to learn from this one. We're going to learn from the one next week and hopefully get a victory.

Richard Carson

I think Mac is one of the few guys who can carry a team on his shoulders and lead them to victory. The thing is we have to contain them as much as possible.

Samari Rolle

We jumped out early and then maintained our advantage throughout. We played well, not great but well enough to get the victory.

Tim Peterson

If the newest, $85,000 Corvette came within two seconds of that, it would be a victory for a car.

Alex Hyatt

Collins recovered a fumble on Elk Grove's final drive to give us the ball for the last time and Cameron Ryan made a key run for a first down to seal the victory and allow us to run out the clock.

Greg Brown

The game ebbs and flows and this is a chance for me to get back on the PGA Tour, ... I didn't have a great year last year so I've got to do what I've got to do. I'm one of many guys at this time of year where a victory or a great week could change a lot of things.

Greg Chalmers

As the president has said, we are implementing a strategy that will lead to victory in Iraq. A victory in Iraq will make the country more secure and help lay the foundation of peace for a generation.

Blair Jones

We view the decision as a clear victory against the Draconian policies of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

Michael Warren

Having in my life been bitten by the jaws of both victory and defeat, I must rush to add that success is to failure as butter pecan ice cream is to death.

Rupert Holmes

If France are not at their best then we could beat them (in what would be their first ever away victory in the Six Nations).

Pierre Berbizier

I seem to remember many of the players predicting an easy England victory, so this was a little reminder of Scotland's great win and the Scottish spirit.

Murdo Mackay

In the near-term, the market would prefer a Bush victory because he is familiar and represents lower taxation on equities.

Chip Dickson

The economy is on a recovery trend, which was partly behind a historical election victory for Koizumi. This victory will make it easier for him to push forward needed reforms.

Naoki Iizuka

The government must not hand the terrorists a victory by taking away long held liberties and principles of justice.

Mark Oaten

We ended last year with a major victory and begin this year with a major setback.

Clint Bolick

God grants victory to perseverance.

Simón Bolívar

After finishing off last season 6-4 we had high hopes. Then we played a great first game (a 26-0 victory over Dubuque). Then we had UW-Stout and had a lot of opportunities and in many ways outplayed them but had some things go wrong. We're looking at the conference and we're one game out of first place.

Mike Emendorfer

What a night to remember. This victory is a big step toward a top-four finish in the CLC.

Paul Bernhard

Some defeats are only installments to victory.

Jacob Riis

It's a fantastic victory, two matches, six points.

Joe Cole

The market has been depressed, and has already discounted a Chavez victory. I don't know who was surprised by the reports and this was not a reason for anyone to sell. But the market is very weak and is very open to manipulation.

Jose Gregorio Tineo

Koizumi's overwhelming victory was a surprise. Further gains in stocks will fuel optimism about the economy, pushing up bond yields.

Masahiro Kami

The bud of victory is always in the truth.

Benjamin Harrison

They're projected to win the state, either them or Floyd County. Maybe they'll overlook us and we can sneak out with a victory.

Joe Harper

We were up 6-2, gave up four goals in the third period, took a 7-6 lead, lost the lead in the last minute and then lost in overtime. But what a difference it was from the first game. We're really close to breaking the ice and getting a victory. I can only think positive.

Andy Emanuel

It seems to me what necessarily has to happen is some concessions from both sides. Whether that is a victory for owners or victory for players, I'm not sure, ... Baseball and Billions.

Andrew Zimbalist

Sure, it's a frustration. There's no victory. It's just sort of like fighting a chronic disease.

Anne Patterson

We cut down on errors, especially in serve-receive. We played more solidly than we have in the past. I was pleased to open league with a victory.

Kristy Dwyer

We're heading into the halfway point of the Big Ten schedule. We have a real tough road game coming up Saturday (against Michigan). To get a big victory like this going into a game like that is definitely a confidence booster for everybody.

Kammron Taylor

Despite the victory of democratic forces in Yugoslavia and its opening up to the world, the international community is not fulfilling its obligation to Yugoslavia.

George Robertson

We got some big plays from a lot of different players today. This was a team victory both the offense and defense had big plays when we needed them.

Dan Buron

It's great to have this Bass Pro Shops Mopar car in victory lane, ... We've been struggling all year long, but it just goes to show that with hard work with [engine builder] Paul Kistler and everybody at Mopar, when you get these engines running these racecars will roll around the racetrack.

Danny Lasoski

Victory was important but it wouldn't have mattered if we had lost today because we went out there and played, and played well.

Wanderley Luxemburgo

Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.

Orison Swett Marden

Work is victory.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We executed and we came out with a victory.

Craig Biggio

The people who are saying ethanol is bad are just plain wrong. But it isn't a huge victory -- you wouldn't go out and rebuild our economy around corn-based ethanol.

Dan Kammen

I am sure they will have prepared hard for this game after our victory over them last year. Emotionally they will be pretty jacked up for us. We will have to come out and do our best to set the tempo of the game, especially in the first quarter when they will be so fired up.

Todd Butler

The youth of Nepal have awakened in great numbers, we will continue our battle on the streets against monarchy. It's democracy that we strive for; victory no matter what. So support our movement.

Gagan Thapa

(If they) have got better things to do than work for an election victory, they are better off out of the Liberal Party ... just get out.

Philip Davis

Sometimes you try to do too much. We rushed. I think the week off played a big part in it because we were anxious to play. But I wouldn't say we escaped with this victory. We played hard, and made big plays to win.

Tony Lee

This has been a great victory for the Venezuelan people.

Hugo Chavez

This election was about you, the people who live here the victory is yours. I will take your hopes to Ottawa. I will work with a strong and united team of New Democrats.

Olivia Chow

I'm delighted with the victory.

Kenny Jackett

The legal victory represents a significant reduction in the risk profile of the company. The company's fending off of this major threat is likely to lift sentiment for the entire large-cap pharmaceutical group through the remainder of 2005.

David Moskowitz

I can't emphasize enough the importance of biotechnology and why it is so critical that we stop this initiative before it makes any more headway, ... A victory against biotechnology in Sonoma County would not just be symbolic; it would do real damage to agriculture and a treasured way of life.

Bob Stallman

I remember when we sold our last 1,000 hens, Helen and I danced a victory dance! We were absolutely delighted that there were no more chickens on the place.

George Segal

War is a series of catastrophes that results in a victory.

Georges Clemenceau

Hannah was huge for us. Her defense was the key to the victory. She didn't score a lot of points (just two), but she did everything else we needed her to do to win.

Charlene Murphy

It's the state and local distribution plans that will define victory.

Alex Azar

Our family is grateful for the jury's first-degree verdict, but for us it's a bit of a hollow victory. The murderer's mother can still visit him in jail. Lisa was just at the prime of her life, but now our mom can only visit her at the cemetery.

Helen Posluns

This is a great victory. . . . We heard predictions and from many critics and pundits that Congress would never repeal the Byrd amendment.

Steve Alexander

Every Aryan must come to realize that truly hateful rhetoric or terrorism only fulfills the false, Jewish-created, media image of what we are and what we stand for. Those who embarrass us with the language or behavior of hatred work against our victory more than the worst Jewish supremacist.

David Duke

I just want a victory, that's all I care about. If I'm in the net or not, we need a victory.

Jessie Vetter

I can't understand how we can play so well one game (a 74-70 victory over defending conference champion Arizona Western on Wednesday night) and so poorly the next. That's the disappointing thing. We had a chance to get on a run here, and we turn in a performance like this.

Chuck Schnoor

This is a major victory in the war against caviar criminals.

Jim Armstrong

It was Mendenhall's first victory as a head coach, so that was a moral victory for us.

Todd Watkins

This is a big victory for us.

Larry Sherrill

This is really a victory for professor Churchill.

David Lane

First gain the victory and then make the best use of it you can.

Horatio Nelson

We have always known Jack had nothing to answer for . . . we thank the jury and the acquittal has been a significant victory.

Brian Thomas

It was a very hard fought victory. Dee was fantastic and made the big plays when we needed them and Natalie King played an excellent game. Natalie has given us another force inside and lately has been our most consistent player in the paint.

Freddie Leathers

These players have worked hard to make this season successful and continue to work hard. They don't like to lose and now they have tasted victory. We just need to continue to work hard each and every day whether it be in practice or in our next match.

Joyce Bickers

You don't win many games when you're missing that many free throws, but we got the victory.

Brandon Krusey

You start wondering when that first victory is going to come. That victory made them relax and start enjoying the season.

Joe Legerski

Love is not a victory march, its a cold and its a broken hallelujah.

Rufus Wainwright

To its supporters, the passion that the film creates is really unlike the feelings that any other film has generated among its supporters in the last seven years. That passion among its supporters is what gives us a great chance at victory on March 5th.

Tom Ortenberg

This is a clear victory, ... The court of appeals found that the injunction is not only warranted, but required. And it ruled in our favor on every legal issue presented.

Hilary Rosen

With a few exceptions, it starts with gold. Americans love winning, and gold is the ultimate victory.

Bob Dorfman

I knew it was going to be tough getting another victory against them. We need some matches like we had last year (a 52-16 Milton win). But we lost all the close matches. We haven?t wrestled well in our own gym this year.

Bob Greenly

I really just call plays with my gut, ... And you certainly want to stay away from tendencies. There were very few hiccups in this (victory).

Steve Loney

We had hoped for a victory. We knew there was some opposition, but it was spread out. We were definitely surprised by the difference of those being in favor of us once the final vote was tallied.

Keith Morris

It teaches that war is cruel and wasteful but sometimes necessary. That a blundering victory is more to be valued than a heroic defeat. That might and right sometimes come to the same end. All these things happened on June 6, 1944.

Otto Friedrich

We needed a six-goal victory to improve our position, and we managed that today.

Asif Bajwa

I thought Melissa pitched well enough to keep us in the game. I was disappointed in how discouraged our girls became when the Hawks' victory seemed imminent. The game became too emotional for our side.

Ken Ashlock

We wanted to make a little statement, but it didn't happen. It was all about pride. We didn't want to get blown out on our home court, or on TV. We fought back, but we're not taking any moral victory out of losing to Miami by seven. We wanted to win this game.

Kyle Korver

We congratulate our opponents and call on them to accept our victory.

Ofwono Opondo

After the game, I told the kids that nobody feels sorry for themselves and not to hang their head. We just have to respond to this and put the game behind us. We need a victory on Saturday.

Kyle Green

I don't want to just scrape through (for a victory) in this game. We need to play well and have a convincing win to have any hope of doing well in the playoffs.

Rich Brands

We knew they were athletic and William Thomas (33 points) is very good, so this is a good game for our kids to play and get a win. We didn't shoot the ball well or rebound all that great, so it is good to just get out of there with a victory.

Bob Krizancic

I knew Holly was a decent kid and had to take him seriously. It's always good to come in here against a team like Pottstown and get a win ... it's a good team victory.

Mike Platco

The key to any comeback victory, especially when you're able to do it repeatedly, is confidence - the fact that the players have confidence in themselves and their teammates.

Greg Beals

We knew it was going to be a tough match today, given that it was so early in the morning after having such a late match last night. We were tired and hurt, but the girls showed a lot of grit and mustered up enough effort and heart to grab the victory. Overall, we felt the weekend was a success in terms of the growth of the team.

Damon Coupe

These standout ratings for CMT and the Miss America pageant are just the beginning of a long and successful relationship. The buzz and promotion surrounding the pageant were like no other in our history and the ratings were a resounding victory for the network.

Paul Villadolid

If this trend continues throughout the remainder of the fourth quarter 2005 and into next year, it would signify a solid victory in the music industry's efforts against illegal music file sharing in the U.S..

Russ Crupnick

We will take the points away from home and I am pleased with the victory.

Chris Stephens

I wanted no part of politics. And I wasn't in Berlin to compete against any one athlete. The purpose of the Olympics, anyway, was to do your best. As I'd learned long ago from Charles Riley, the only victory that counts is the one over yourself.

Jesse Owens

I am thrilled that Congress has received the President's report accepting the recommendation of the BRAC Commission to keep Submarine Base New London open, ... This is an enormous victory not only for Connecticut, but for our national security.

Joe Lieberman

The manager said a few words at the break and we turned it around in the second half. I would like to think it is a turning point for the season and that we can build on this victory and try to get three points every time we play.

Wanderley Luxemburgo

[Butler jubilantly climbed the fence to a standing ovation following the victory for the youngster in just his eighth career Late Model start.] I don't know where I got the energy to do that, ... I love Westcar!

Bobby Butler

We are going for the victory in this game despite needing only one point. We cannot think about anything else apart from a victory.

Demis Nikolaidis

We used to root for the Indians against the cavalry, because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory, and when the Indians won it was a massacre.

Dick Gregory

It is highly likely that the 2 trillion yen buying in August reflected the market's expectations that Koizumi's victory will support the stock market, and that foreign buying could take a respite this month.

Osamu Takashima

We were very happy with how our team kept fighting during this game. The squad showed a lot of heart against a very dynamic UCLA team on their home field. Erin McLeod was spectacular for us in goal, but it was our total team effort that won us this victory tonight.

Paula Wilkins

To take the No. 6 team in the nation to the brink like that is a moral victory.

Dean Welch

The most probable coalition will be orange... the Region Party's victory is only a formal one.

Volodymyr Fesenko

It was a bittersweet victory defensively. We gave up 48 points, which is unacceptable. We have to put a full game together. We haven't yet.

Tim Mcgarigle

Granados was tough and strong but couldn't cope with Dixon's speed and movement. It was a cracking display and helped the Anglo team to a 6-3 victory.

Ronnie Rowe

You still have to go play. What happened before doesn't get you a victory tonight. We have to be ready.

Cleve Ryan

[Sometimes, it feels like the Marlins are. Even with their World Series rings and their spandex-clad cheerleaders the Marlins rank second to last in the N.L. in attendance. The Miami Dolphins, fresh off a four-victory season, can expect capacity crowds.] In New York, in Philly, you know they're revved up, ... Here, it's like the fans have a football mentality.

Todd Jones

Not to say, 'Hurray, we all win!' but both sides can claim victory.

Richard Aboulafia

I'm a little surprised and very satisfied about (the margin of victory).

Ai Miyazato

We must hold on to our victory in a democratic way. We have to see what Milosevic will do.

Cedomir Jovanovic

Without him making those free throws, we don't come out with a victory. Kind of makes you forget about all the other ones he's missed in the past, huh?

Chris Gasseling

It's a big victory for separation of religion and state and a huge defeat for Islamic fundamentalism.

Tarek Fatah

It was exciting, ... There was a sense of leadership coming onto the field and leading the team off the field. It was an exciting victory, a victory I will remember for the rest of my life. I had to deal with the crowd noise and the fireworks they set off before the game. There were just so many things going on that reminded me of how much I love this game and why I play it.

Brandon Kirsch

It is nice to finish the home season with a victory.

Marvan Atapattu

A little calm, a little patience. The will of the people will be respected. The victory will not be stolen.

Gerard Latortue

His assurance to the party that whenever he calls the next general election there'll be a massive victory by the PNM.

John Donaldson

The reform mandate is probably not going to be as strong as it would have been under an outright victory by Merkel.

Ian Stannard

It was good to get a victory. We needed to win this game, especially after having lost a tough game last week.

Jack Nelson

I just figured that I didn't want to lose. I say this (victory) means we can go out to win every game, win the Avocado League and go to the (section) playoffs.

Ashley Graham

And so with that spirit of confidence in our step and with that prayer in our heart, let us now quicken our pace to the victory that awaits us!

Perry Christie

It was real sloppy in the first half, lots of mistakes. It's a big victory. We'll take the 'W.' We've got to pick it up another notch because next week we start Conference Indiana play.

Tim Able

This is an extraordinary victory for a system that was really put to the test. It's a credit to the system.

Fred Cohn

To conquer the command of the air means victory; to be beaten in the air means defeat and acceptance of whatever terms the enemy may be pleased to impose.

Giulio Douhet

We go to these 'Victory With Honor' clinics; our kids have to attend and Pine Hill kids have to attend, but how many officials have to go also?

Wally Sanchez

The only thing I'm trying to duplicate is the victory, ... If I score four touchdowns I'll be happy, but my big thing is duplicating the victory.

Milt Stegall

This second victory is a confirmation of my new status as a car driver.

Stephane Peterhansel

It is important to educate Texans and make them aware of the role the brave soldiers played in the war victory.

Rick Vacar

Yes, we have learned from the last two years and, yes, there are signs of real progress, but I don't see the kind of definitive trends that would allow you to say victory is assured.

Anthony H. Cordesman

You can expect to the White House to point out certain success stories like Kirstie Alley and then proclaim victory.

Davis Logsdon

In the time of darkest defeat, victory may be nearest.

William Mckinley

The Administration is now starting to lose its base on the war, and if this continues, it will come under increasing pressure to accelerate our withdrawal, Squandered Victory: The American Occupation and the Bungled Effort to Bring Democracy to Iraq.

Larry Diamond

I didn't think it would be a multiple-shot victory. You had a three-way tie at the top and everybody bunched right behind them. I really thought it would come down to the last hole. David obviously played well.

Tom Kite

For us to continue to fight and get this victory, it says a lot about this team.

Aaron Glenn

To be prepared is half the victory.

Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra

We've been assuming a first round victory for several months.

Patrick Esteruelas

We set high goals at the beginning of the year. But we can't dwell too long on the victory. We celebrate and move on (to the next race).

Tim Mambort

I think this was a victory for all the employees at the Oregon State Hospital.

Valerie Aerni

Swinging a club is not a problem, but the greatest thing is staying in it mentally and not getting frustrated because of the wind and the rain and the delays because of a backup on a particular hole. That was, to me, what gave Bluefield the victory, they were real patient all day.

Garry Moore

It's a victory for the government in a narrow sense because their strategy was to keep the Supreme Court out.

Joseph Onek

It's a huge victory for people suffering from diseases or injuries.

Susan O'brien

I think they got a little sour taste in their mouths from not winning that district title. I think that gave them a little extra hunger. They're not ready for their season to end. In hindsight, it might have been a blessing in disguise to not get that victory. I think it's made them more focused to try and get a nice run in before they're gone.

Poncho Broner

Markets have been pricing in Koizumi's victory in the elections. That's positive for the yen.

Toru Umemoto

We can start over again from here. These results show we are a strong political force even after the victory of the right.

Francesco Rutelli

This is a great victory for the disability community. But, you know, it's also a larger victory for the many people who in their lives in one way or another triumph over adversity.

Alan Reich

Nicholls State is coming in a very hot team. They are 2-0 in league play and have been playing well. They have taken some lumps the past couple years, but have turned things around this season. We will have to play well to get the victory.

Orlando Early

The veto is a great victory for Wisconsin consumers, particularly lower-income consumers, who represent the bulk of rent-to-own customers. It shows that they will continue to be protected by the Wisconsin Consumer Act.

Steve Meili

Everybody is contributing and we're just playing great team basketball right now. As long as we win I could care less who's taking the shots. All we care about is getting the victory.

Todd Jacobs

My sense of things is the victory was a result of good team balance.

Tom Patten

But we don't believe in moral victories any more. I think maybe last year we would have been happy with a moral victory. But now we want to win, that's all that counts to us. This hurts.

Todd Galloway

We are happy for the victory but we have a lot of things we have to revisit.

Lennox Graham

I can't believe it. Two years ago I was here as a visitor of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and he invited me to come and stay in his motor home. That's the only other time I've been to victory lane.

Denny Hamlin

UCLA is a very tough to face, but one we are all excited to play. I know the girls are ready to give them a battle and come out with a victory.

Steve Rianda

We've taken defeat from the jaws of victory for so many years.

Brian Berg

These three teams are among the five toughest in our league. Coming in off of these wins (the other being a 6-1 victory over West Haven last Wednesday) should give us the boost that we need.

Rick Gedney

This is a real victory for people in the community. And for moms and dads, and for people who are just trying to live their lives and have a neighborhood that's safe and that they can be proud of.

Ronda Storms

The team showed great resilience. They had to come back twice really, once after the first half and again to break the tie. I'm proud of how they stayed composed and kept fighting for victory.

Dennis Costello

Represents only a temporary victory for those special interests that want to keep their tax loopholes open, maintain the status quo in education.

Patrick Perry

We beat a quality team. Anytime you beat a team from (the Santa Cruz area) it's big. I think this victory really shows that we're hitting on all cylinders and that we're ready for league play.

Jim Rimando

I know that to get back on winning ways was going to be hard. It's something that plays on the players' minds but I tried to keep them relaxed even though it was a victory that they would have had to carve out.

Donovan Hayles

He didn't win but he tried his hardest to pick up another victory for the team. That is what being a team player is all about. Putting the team before yourself.

Nick Umscheid

If you're in a slump, you have to shoot yourself out. I definitely felt I had to be aggressive, start aggressive and help us get a victory.

Jessica Dickson

There is a growing possibility of a victory for the LDP and Koizumi by a big margin, which is positive for the yen. There is speculation that Koizumi's grip on power will strengthen, making it easier for him to promote reforms.

Minoru Shioiri

It was mission accomplished today. We wanted to go out there not to concede any goals while taking our opportunities, and I'm happy with this victory.

Andrew Price

When you do that, The Gap declares victory. The Web site has just succeeded in getting you into the store.

Richard Jaffe

The whole team did well. It was just a neat victory.

Pat Mcaran

The elections in Iraq are a victory for freedom and the Iraqi people, and a blow to the transnational network of terrorists who have tried to prevent this day from happening.

James Talent

A notable victory for reason and common sense over intolerance and extremism.

Pat Cox

I am calling an early special conference to resolve the leadership question in a democratic fashion so that our annual Party Conference in July will be able to focus solely on mapping the way forwards towards an IFP victory in the 2009 general election.

Mangosuthu Buthelezi

That victory today was a great step forward for our women's team. This thrilling final allowed them to show their real class and how they rowed through the talented German boat can give us all pride.

David Tanner

A lot of times we played right into their hands. I feel if I would have played halfway decent we would have come out with the victory.

Maurice Ager

You've got to expect tough shots like that in the game. But I'm just glad we pulled out the victory today. Our defense made a good stand.

Max Zarchin

We just battled all night and never quit. It was pure hard work. It was a very rewarding victory.

Luc Robitaille

It's a good victory for us against a solid Lady Jays team. To come here and beat them on their floor is just a challenge in itself.

Bryce Swafford

Concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory.

Bill Russell

A 6-6 tie was almost an act of Providence. 6-6 was really a victory for all.

Dick Schoeb

This was a huge victory. I hope this is the turning point in the season for us.

Troy Smith

The final circuit was tough as we had to climb an uphill section three times. I'm happy for the victory but I'm exhausted.

Robbie Mcewen

This is a great day for me, and a great victory for the team also.

Heidi Martin

We are hopeful that the judge's preliminary injunction will bring needed change at HYCF to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender wards from harm in the future. All in all, the ruling is a huge victory.

Lois Perrin

They will come for a victory and they will come to play football, not volleyball like Northern Ireland.

Carlos Alberto

This was our first game, the one that gave us butterflies and we are happy that we were able to break the ice with a victory.

Yulieski Gourriel

Our victory is as pure as a diamond, ... Kostunica is the elected president and we must persist in our resistance.

Velimir Ilic
