This was a fantastic race by the boys team. All the boys had excellent races. They were determined to run well on our home course and we ended up with a convincing victory.

Bruce Beckman

My teammates did their best to help but our plans were blown up in the final kilometers by escape attempts by cyclist of rival teams. Filippo is a good cyclist and deserved victory. I'm sorry for missing a second straight triumph here. I just lacked a bit of good luck.

Alessandro Petacchi

His victory was an example to every player on the Tour.

George O'grady

I can't say enough about my kids. How they gutted out such a tremendous victory. This goes right up there with winning the state championship.

Tony Falzarano

We had played her the first time and she was able to get the ball up into the strike zone that first time. We were fortunate enough to come up with several key hits that led us to the victory.

Don Harvey

Any time the Western way of war can be unleashed on an enemy stupid enough to enter its arena, victory is assured.

Victor Davis Hanson

I think it's a very fair proposal. I think this is one of those rare occasions where everyone can claim victory.

George Pataki

I felt I did a decent job, but if I could have made a couple more plays I could have done better and helped my team come out with a victory. It's never enough if you lose.

Sidney Rice

While we didn't pick up a dual victory at this event, we did play some exceptionally competitive tennis. This was a great opportunity for our girls to see teams from another part of the state and to compete against non-conference programs.

Daryl Youngstrum

This is our victory.

Vitali Klitschko

We got the victory we deserved and it was important we got back on track.

Gary Megson

So let us call genocide, genocide. Let us not minimize the deliberate murder of 1.5 million people. Let us have a moral victory that can shine as a light to all nations.

Adam Schiff

They wanted to run, so we're down running because that's our style. That's Memphis basketball. We run. They wanted to run with us. We got the victory.

Darius Washington Jr

We want to remind everyone this weekend that real Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk. If you plan on using alcohol while cheering your team on to victory, pass your keys to a sober, designated driver before the Super Bowl party begins. Follow the rules or law enforcement will penalize you for driving impaired. We want everyone to make the right play for the big game.

Tom Schomaker

I don't think this settlement matters at all. If anything, it could lead to a lot of civil lawsuits. It's a bit early to raise the victory flag for the big banks and brokerages.

Miles Seifert

I thought we played good enough to win, but Elton willed them to victory.

Shane Battier

I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.

Vince Lombardi

There are still a few tournaments to go so I've still got a chance. A victory is all that is missing from the season.

Catriona Matthew

We march and fight, to death or on to victory. Our might is right, no traitors shall prevail. Our hearts are steeled against the fiery gates of hell. No shot or shell, can still our mighty song.

George Lincoln Rockwell

I send you a kaffis of mustard seed, that you may taste and acknowledge the bitterness of my victory.

Alexander The Great

Nothing but victory would've worked for us, and we got it.

Karel Bruckner

The bond market wants to be very certain that these bonds will be repaid, which means even a trial victory may not be enough for a bond market. It may have to go through appeals and be affirmed on appeals before the bonds can actually be sold.

Hank Greely

I wanted to make sure the juniors knew how important it was to send these special group of senior girls home with a victory. Each of these girls brought something special to the team this season, and all deserved to go out on top.

Cip Sanchez

They've kept these guys in isolation or solitary confinement, so to speak, for three years. I think they overstated this to begin with. ... They, by their own words, made this a hollow victory, if anything.

Stephen Bernstein

This is a fantastic day. The campaign was to close the farm. This is a victory for us.

John Holmes

We knew very little about them, and it helped us because we want to work on adapting during the game. We didn't know what we were getting in to, and we knew that effort had to be the number one thing or we wouldn't come out with a victory.

Ibrahim Jaaber

Money, power, victory and success fade in the shadows as we take our last breath for the only thing we take with us is the same thing we leave behind -- how we love and we were loved.

Robert Anthony

This is a resounding victory for thousands of small-business owners across the country who for decades have fought to liberate themselves from an unfair and punitive tax on their life's work.

Dan Danner

Anyone who didn't know Roger Federer was a unique and creative athlete before the U.S. Open victory certainly knows it today.

Mark Miles

We're out here to bring our children back home. We have to organize. We must bring together all these people and march on to victory.

Brenda Stokely

I think the way we handle this win is almost as important as the victory itself.

Jim Mora

They're the No. 2 team in our league and they beat us by 40 last time. If there is such a thing as a moral victory this is it. My kids played hard.

Bill Buthorn

It's very exciting. I think it's a victory for the (Rio Grande) Valley because for a long, long time I have been trying to get more funding for the adult day cares.

Francisco Flores

I love coming home, especially with a victory.

Dominic James

This is a great victory for shareholder rights.

Stuart Grant

We also hope to see the Mountaineers bring home a victory.

Tom Joyce

This was a very decisive victory by Berlin and demonstrates that the council was convinced that we are taking our most important competition to the right place. When Berlin lost in their effort to bid for the 2005 edition of these championships, I was delighted to see that they immediately vowed to come back, and they really deserved it this time.

Lamine Diack

I'm meeting a bunch of friends. We're going to celebrate the victory and then watch the riots in pioneer square.

Ken Beck

The victory is significant because it carries on the tradition of past students. We have had tremendous success in the Turf Bowl and the younger students are well aware of this and work hard to carry on the tradition.

Marcus Jones

That was a victory for the offense today. We drove the ball down the field, first down after first down. We came up a little short but that's a victory.

Greg Knox

It's a victory but not an unexpected one. Failure to let [Andersen's prior history] in would have been a huge defeat.

Stan Twardy

The Supreme Court has not closed the doors of justice to the detainees imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. This is a major victory for the rule of law and affirms the right of every person, citizen or non-citizen, detained by the United States to test the legality of his or her detention in a U.S. Court.

Michael Ratner

The WTO ruling is not a victory for the US administration and the biotech giants. Countries around the world should continue to enforce tough legislation protecting their citizens and the environment from the risks of genetically modified crops.

Juan Lopez

The ultimate victory in competition is derived from the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your best and that you have gotten the most out of what you had to give.

Howard Cosell

With or without an embargo, we are here. And that is good. I think that's another victory we have in our favor.

Felipe Perez Roque

It is wrong to believe the landslide victory gave a vote of confidence on Koizumi politics.

Asahi Shimbun

I have always said that a Tour victory is more valuable if Lance Armstrong is participating. I will do everything I can to beat him in his last appearance on the Tour.

Jan Ullrich

We're a team that relies on balanced scoring, and when we get that we can usually pull out a victory. We had three guys in double figures and another with eight points, and that translated into a victory.

Dennis Cromer

It was a tough game but we came out and played extremely hard. It was a good hard fought victory on the road—they've really come along and are playing great basketball.

Fred Trenkle

Every player contributed to this victory. We have to thank God because things went well for us, having stayed close in the first.

Michael Hicks

I thought the last two years we probably would have lost this ballgame. I'm proud of our character that we were able to hang tough and pull out the victory.

Andy Scott

We did alright. We won some close matches. We came out intense against Douglas and we earned the victory.

Randy Gunn

Minister Farrakhan's progress means he's gone from talking the talk to walking the walk for our rights. This is a big victory for the community. Showing support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender African-Americans in such a visible and meaningful way means we're on the right road. We look forward to continued work with the minister and the Millions More Movement.

Donna Payne

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Sun Tzu

It was awesome to get the OT winner and it was a big point for us. We wanted that point -- we played very good today. We played physical and were finishing hits everywhere. It was just fun to play out there today and everybody was going again for us so that's a big part of a victory and for me to get the overtime goal is very special.

Christian Ehrhoff

This marks a victory for all Saudi women whether in this field or any other. The fact that men voted for me is a gauge of how men feel about the involvement of women...It's a great honor for me.

Nadia Bakhurji

It is exciting. It is real meaningful if you are in Victory Lane with it. That is what we want to do. There are only a handful of cars that have that kind of meaning to it. Richard's car is one of them. But it isn't going to mean nearly as much unless you do something with it.

Bobby Labonte

The game was all about winning for our seniors, not about me winning this award. I thought it was a complete team victory.

Dallas Baker

If the administration representatives are honest they'll tell you 'Well this is a fresh start and Merkel's victory would be a good thing'.

Jackson Janes

Never seen a grassroots organization of this size and scale, a challenger or incumbent. And I believe in a very close election -- and this will be a close election -- it will be one of the factors in a Bush victory.

Ralph Reed

We kind of know what we can expect, and we have worked on our mental preparation in practice because that will be important for a victory.

Olga Klimova

Tonight's victory leaves me with a tranquil feeling. We did some things that were good and this will only help us get ready for our first game against Austin (April 29 in Laredo).

Israel Collazo

You see the birth of a franchise and you culminate with a Stanley Cup victory. That's something that didn't seem possible years ago when we first started. That was just a distant pipe dream.

Nigel Kirwan

But if this is the victory rally it is going to be short-lived unless we get that perfect war that follows on, which is a week or two and then a victory parade and then back out again.

Anais Faraj

When Officer Winder tragically died last year, this office deeply mourned his death. For prosecutors, it was a victory today to see this case closed.

Margaret Burns

I've heard what the justices asked and then seen how they ruled. I wouldn't declare this a victory until it happens.

Dan Webster

Coach Sutton said it was one of the most inspirational victories he'd ever experienced. He said we played OSU defense. He even said the victory helped out his aching back.

Jameson Curry

This is a tremendous victory. Major decisions like the Quebec City closure need to be transparent. The public and postal workers have a right to be involved.

Deborah Bourque

The victory of the August Revolution and the birth of a new Vietnam were historic milestones, shattering nearly a century of cruel colonial rule and fascism ... ushering in a new era in the nation's history, an era of independence and freedom.

Tran Duc Luong

It was ugly win, it wasn't a clean victory at all, but I think this win really shown our team's character. I give it up to all the younger guys. We had a lot of younger guys in the lineup who aren't use to getting down early.

Ryan Quintal

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Bible

It's always good to come up with a victory, always on a positive note. We couldn't find any energy tonight. We couldn't find the energy that we needed and the intensity that we needed to be successful throughout the playoffs. We've got a lot to work on in practice. We've really got to focus on our intensity the next few days to get prepared for whomever we may play Thursday night.

Joshua Staley

Initially resisted us taking on the investigation, but we overcame that. It was an important victory for our independence. This dispute has caused delay in us taking over the investigation, but we have worked hard to recover the lost ground.

John Wadham

We deserved victory and definitely showed our value. We can look forward to the next match with confidence.

Giuseppe Papadopulo

This is an important victory not only for Pfizer but for all innovators pursuing high-risk medical discoveries.

Henry Mckinnell

Emily was tremendous. She is going to be an outstanding lacrosse player. She has a lot of different tools. She has real good size and her skills are getting better. She needs confidence. She has to understand her capabilities and we tell her to take advantage of what she has. She did that today. She was able to get it done and was real instrumental in the victory.

Joe Tornetta

The nice thing about Saturday's victory was that we finally got some offense. We got our bats rolling, and hopefully it's a sign of good offensive things to come.

Christine Beauvais

Make no mistake about it: Operation Desert Storm truly was a victory of good over evil, of freedom over tyranny, of peace over war.

Dan Quayle

It's a victory marred by some unsavoury performances.

Daniel Anderson

It was the greatest feeling I've ever felt in any victory in any sport.

Jenna Rubino

O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory? Where, indeed? Many a badly stung survivor, faced with the aftermath of some relative's funeral, has ruefully conceded that the victory has been won hands down by the funeral establishment . . .

Jessica Mitford

That's an amazing accomplishment for coach and I'm glad that I'm on the team that got coach is 200th victory.

Christian Mathew

An important victory for what has been Al Gore and Joe Lieberman's basic principle since Election Day -- a full and fair count of all the votes.

Bill Daley

It was a relief to me. If I had caught that touchdown pass I could have sealed the victory. When that kicker missed it I almost cried. I'm just glad we came out with a victory.

Dwayne Bowe

I don't think it was a clear victory for one side or the other, although I think that the Machinists could've gotten more.

Chris Lozier

After two consecutive losses, it comes at a time when we needed a little boost. Six goals is more than enough. And it's exciting to get the first conference victory. I told them that I didn't care if it was five to nothing or nine to nothing, as long as the nothing is still there.

Derek Mazeitis

For the Cadbury's factory making Dairy Milk in Birmingham, and people in York putting Terry's Chocolate Oranges together, a positive ruling will be a sweet victory indeed.

Gary Titley

You've got to go in with the mind-set that you've got two guys ready to lead this team to victory.

Santonio Holmes

It was the most bizarre game I've seen in all my years of coaching. It was strange how quickly it changed from a 12-2 game to a 12-10 game. We were fortunate to come up with a victory.

Bobby Atwell

It is a victory for those who want fair, accountable and decent government in Northern Ireland, and who don't want to share power with gunmen.

Nigel Dodds

Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.

Ninon de Lenclos

Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.

J. Donald Walters

I was really happy that it was our defense that keyed (the victory). Obviously, Chase made some big plays, and other guys did, too, but the (defense) was big.

Dave Cassaw

There's a realistic chance of victory. We will fight. We will fight in the next two weeks for our future.

Viktor Orban

Every day that passes reassures us, but it is too early to cry victory.

Jean Glavany

Satan may win a battle here and there but victory is ours!

Keri Harvey

Lukashenko grabbed victory through force and lies.

Alexander Milinkevich

It's important to remember this was a team victory. I gave up some rebounds and the guys cleared the puck for me. It was a good team effort.

Ryan Daniels

Nipomo has been very competitive. So we're glad to get the victory.

Karen Roth

Time is everything; five minutes make the difference between victory and defeat.

Horatio Nelson

Garrett was in foul trouble, so the team trusted me to be a leader and lead them to victory. I think I did a pretty good job of that.

Ryan Brooks

We've kept the faith and this was a deserved victory.

Nigel Worthington

The victory of success is half done when one gains the habit of work.

Sarah Knowles Bolton

Unless there's a sweeping victory by one side or the other, there's going to be a razor-thin majority in the Senate. And coalitions will be less united with this system than they were before.

Roberto D'alimonte

We started the year with a victory and we ended the regular season with a victory. I was glad for the seniors to get a win over Perry. We were very aggressive and ready to wrestle whereas earlier in the evening versus ADM that wasn't the case.

Jim Pappas

We had a major victory, and they have one breath left.

Peter Barber

There is still an intricate and complex dispute that doesn't allow any of the two coalitions to proclaim victory.

Fabrizio Cicchitto

It's more of a victory for all military families out there.

Cathy Parsons

We will work to continue this battle, God permitting, until victory or until we meet God.

Bin Laden

If Civic Platform nails down a strong victory, then euro adoption becomes that much more likely.

Ryszard Petru

We totally and one hundred percent sign off on 'the semiconductor sector is recovering' theory, ... There were a lot of analysts saying they were going to reduce the range. Midpoint is a victory.

Jonathan Joseph

There came a moment after literally weeks of conversation, ... that both Myles and I began to see a framework... It brought us to a point where there was really a victory without defeat.

John Sexton

It's his night, and it's going to be a great night. This (victory) only adds to it for him, I'm sure.

Brandon Bernstein

The Vikings experience in the tough Big North Conference plus our big match experience lead the team to victory over a tough and scrappy Mount Pleasant team.

Brandon Smith

A clear-cut victory over the insurgents and terrorists.

Ayad Allawi

Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.

Edwin Markham

I plan on leading this team to victory.

Robert Lane

This was a hard-fought and well-earned victory. It shouldn't have been that close, but we had some missed free throws and turnovers.

Kirk Kaul

I still might have hoped that Green Bay was 1-4 and we might have been 4-1, but that's not the case, ... Both teams are scrounging for a victory.

Darren Sharper

I'm so very, very proud of our guys ... they came in here and played their tails off in a hostile environment. They just fought and hung in there when things got tough. We didn't panic, and we were able to escape out of here with a victory.

Steve Hesser

What a victory this was. This was an unbelievable game from start to finish. Neither team gave an inch.

Shane Tucker

It went well for Real tonight and we can be happy with how we've done in the tournament until now. We played our game and I think our victory was deserved.

Zinedine Zidane

You learn more from defeat than you do from victory. We've been through a lot the last month, and we're finally learning how to make big plays down the stretch.

Eduardo Najera

In defeat, unbeatable; in victory, unbearable.

Edward Marsh

They support democracy, and the pro-democracy candidates have scored a resounding victory. I certainly hope the people in Beijing would be watching closely.

Emily Lau

He was one of those freshman who showed some promise last year. We're not going to win any meets, but it's a victory for us when one of those sophomores win. We need those sophomores to be in a position to medal.

Errol Logue

Victory must be assured in advance. And the American public must be all for it from the outset.

Evan Thomas

The sooner we find the net the better. We know that we must slot a fair number of goals to compensate for a possible away victory by the Swiss.

Zinedine Zidane

You know there's a little moral victory there, a little victory that if we can get over 50 on at least one of these charges we've at least shown the nation that a majority of the Senate are concerned about this issue of obstruction of justice.

Ed Bryant

We expected that he would win the bout. We join the Filipino people not only in the country but those overseas as well in celebrating his victory.

Eid Kabalu

Scoring 81 points is a truly amazing accomplishment. Of course, the most important thing is that his effort contributed to a victory for his team.

Elgin Baylor

We haven't stepped forward enough. You have to go more forward than backward and we haven't done that. I take a lot of responsibility for that. There's no moral victory. I don't believe in that in any shape or form.

Erik Zaidel

Our No. 6 guy, Steve Benoit, is a hockey player, and he came in and sealed the victory for us. We were neck and neck with Harwood ? they were up by one stroke coming into the sixth group ? and Steve came in with a 42, which was one of the best scores of the day.

Eric Reis

Sean has earned the support of both the Pride Agenda and Victory Fund because he is what we are constantly searching for from our community—a quality candidate, well versed in public service.

Ethan Geto

We could learn more lessons from the losses than from the victory. We had enough failures in the past.

Zhang Yadong

We feel fortunate to get out of here with a victory. It feels like a loss though because we didn't deserve to win and Bridgeport did.

Ed Andes

An admission of our failure and the victory of terrorism.

Effi Eitam

I'm thrilled. It's a total victory for women. Politics was trumped by science and medicine. It's a breakthrough for women's health. I think this is so major, not only for the women of the United States but for the women of the world, because this means tests now will begin on its other many beneficial uses.

Eleanor Smeal

It was a terrific home opener. I thought that both Lauren and Shannon [Frawley] really came up huge for us. This was a much-needed victory as we head into conference play.

Emily Edmonston

In the VOL, you have to get over that victory and move on to the next game. It's Sonora's homecoming, so we know they're going to be very fired up and motivated.

Eric Reis

This is such a great victory for us. I think it gave us our confidence back.

Eshaya Murphy

This decision is a major victory for science, and a major victory for science education.

Eugenie Scott

To what do you attribute the victory of Todd-Whitman.

Ed Rollins

They're telling us to fight only against falsification, not for victory.

Eldar Namazov

I knew going into the meet that it would be a close race for the girls' team. I told them that our teams are very similar and they were going to have to work extra hard if they wanted to bring home a victory.

Emily Tucker

We've always gotten off to good starts. We've always beaten the teams that we were supposed to beat. Now, we need to get that big-time victory. That's what we're still waiting for.

Eric Patterson

But the time factor would make that kind of ruling a victory for [Texas Gov. George W.] Bush.

Erwin Chemerinsky

The finished results for Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory are everything we had hoped for and more ... There are few flight sims available that evoke such an authentic atmosphere of historical combat. Wings of Victory will quickly become a must-have title for any fan of flight simulation games.

Eugene Perry
