[The] decision brings to an end years of wasted court resources brought about by a fringe group of people opposed to even the most basic protections for thousands of California families headed by same-sex couples.

Millions now wasted by (Medicaid) provider fraud would be available to provide health care to low-income Missouri parents, the elderly and those with disabilities. In 2005, approximately 90,000 low-income Missourians lost their health insurance due to cuts in the Medicaid program.
Jennifer Hill
I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time. It must be admitted that the inventors of the mechanical arts have been much more useful to men that the inventors of syllogisms. He who imagined a ship towers considerably above him who imagined innate ideas.
Voltaire
After a rough first inning, we battled back. This was a tough way to lose. We should have scored more runs. We had the runners on. It was sure a wasted performance by Craig Beltran.

Chad Lavin
I know half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. Now, if I only knew which half.
John Wanamaker
There's no question that the LMDC has been deeply wounded.

Roland Betts
Nothing is lost upon a man who is bent upon growth; nothing wasted on one who is always preparing for life. By keeping eyes, mind, and heart open to nature, men, books, experience, and what he gathers, serves him at unexpected moments, in unforeseen.

Mason Cooley
Cesar lost his nerve. He saw time being wasted and he simply didn't control his impulses.

Gian Carlo Menotti
When I see that waterfront project as a taxpayer, I'm worried. But as an economist, I'm even more worried because I see capital being wasted in an economy where it will be very scarce reasonably soon. And that has something to do with how fast you can expect the (Japanese) economy to grow.
Robert Feldman
You'd think that the person who left the deer and basically wasted it could be cited with wasting wild game.
Gary Craig
My plan was to go hard but I got boxed in early. I really think I wasted a lot of energy on the first lap, but once I got out I was comfortable.
Colleen Wetherbee
I don't want a runoff. It's just more of our money being wasted because Bloomberg's going to win anyway. My vote (for Ferrer) is not because I have a passion for him.
Jeanne Lewis
I am concerned that hurricane victims are not receiving the assistance they need and money is being wasted as these professionals remain idle, ... Congress acted quickly to make sure that FEMA had the funds necessary for the rescue and recovery effort. I hope proper precautions are being taken to ensure that relief funds are spent in the most efficient manner possible.
David Paulson
We have wasted an insane amount of money. Health care is being starved to keep the postal system, the roads and bridges around. In a country with a shrinking, aging population, this system is going to lower living standards.
Robert Feldman
I looked to animal and insect imagery to develop the lack of substance and wasted motion that my Terminator has. I tried to tap into the killer instinct inherent in animals, where they are locked onto a target and will walk through anything that gets between them and their intended target.
Robert Patrick
We wanted to win two of the three games we were playing this week, and we'd have had a better chance of doing that by forfeiting to Grinnell. We wasted two days not practicing Knox basketball, so I made the decision yesterday that when this game was over, we were going to get out there and run our offense.
Tim Heimann
So often space is wasted, or dead, in a house which the owners consider too small. First, you need to take away the name of the room, and then the space is liberated for a variety of new uses.

Yes, but it's my life has been wasted, And I have been the fool, To let this manufacturer use my body for a tool, I can ride home in the evening, Staring at my hands, Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl, Ought to stand a better chance, So may I w.
James Taylor

Frank Szollosi
Without a doubt, that's one of the most frustrating losses I've ever been involved with as a coach. We just didn't show up, and we wasted a strong effort by Derek. We didn't compete at the plate.
Chad Frazier
After careful consideration, I see no reason for the expense to the city of a special ballot. It only adds to the thousands already wasted on the old courthouse.
Sally Riggs
That was enough of a public health concern to get it in the dictionary right away. Now, one of two things could happen. Either we'll never hear about SARS again, and if so, I've wasted three lines of type in the dictionary. Or it will come back, and everyone will go to the dictionary in a time of need to see how SARS is defined.
John Morse
If they decide not to operate the airfield, then we (only) wasted a lot of paper.
Charlie Hunter
By the time this project is stopped, loads of money will have been wasted. Building this bridge doesn't confront the real problem, which is that Sicily has a transport system from the Middle Ages that you'd have trouble finding anywhere else in Europe. This money should be spent elsewhere.
Roberto Della Seta
The car, in the accident, killed my friend. He was driving. I only had two beers that whole day. My friend was pretty wasted. I should have been driving, but that's the way things work out.

Kevin Mitnick
The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.
Muhammad Ali

Carlo Ancelotti
The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.
Muhammad Ali
He's come to shows and just gotten completely wasted with us.
Steve Jocz
A lot of them wouldn't budge. They didn't really trust what I was doing. A lot of my coaching energies were wasted. The studs, they knew what that had to do to succeed.
Jason Hayes
We ended up going [overseas] and just getting too wasted to make a video.

Randy Kugler
You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted.
Ruth E. Renkel
That they made no motion is just shocking. I think Olin could have even lived with a denial. The regional board (staff) wasted a lot of time and effort and taxpayer money to prepare a resolution ... and Olin wasted a lot of time and effort addressing this.
Patrick Mcclure
A day without laughter is a day wasted.
Charlie Chaplin
Nothing is wasted. Everything is used and given away.

Larry Gerston
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
E e cummings
No single factor is responsible for more wasted effort, rework, or failed projects than inadequate requirements. For many companies, improving the communication of requirements between IT and business managers-both gathering the requirements from the business and confirming understanding to the business-is the single improvement with the biggest measurable impact.
Carl Zetie
Nothing is wasted, nothing is in vain: / The seas roll over but the rocks remain.
A. P. Herbert
To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labor. You must in some way or other graft upon the man's nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.
William Booth
We wasted opportunities, but when we hit the ball, they caught it. They're a good baseball team. Defensively they are awfully solid.
Jeff Petrovic
Money is wasted or lost to fraud, and quality of care can be jeopardized when products and services come from con artists rather than qualified suppliers.
Charles E. Grassley

Michael Holt
I never thought I was wasted, but I probably was.
Keith Richards
We were concerned not only about offending people, but in bringing people down to the breakfast expecting one thing and getting something totally different, that perhaps they were misled, that we wasted their time.
Michael Alderman
The fact that I won the 1,100 bucks, the fact that her name won me that money -- even though I could have used that money to pay my bills, I thought, 'I'm going to try to get that date with her.' I'm going to take that risk, because if you don't take risks you'll have a wasted soul.
Brian Herzlinger
We wasted a good effort by our pitcher. We left 12 runners on base. You come up with a key hit you win the game.
Jack Brooks
He had a natural knack for it. I don't think he wasted a whole lot of time on MBAs and law degrees. He just got in there early in life and built his business.
Hayne Hipp
I wasted gallons trying to find the right combination.
Barbara Ancelet
Waiting is not an option for these people. Their lives are being wasted now.

Henry A. Waxman
So much food is wasted in the United States. When I go to a restaurant, I bring my meal.

Jeff Denham
They wasted time aiming.
Richard Read
Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.
August Strindberg
Before you fax your statements you can block out any information you wish. I only need the dollar figures. It's that simple. Once I complete my research I provide a free report detailing exactly how much money is being wasted each month because of high fees.
Chris Enders
If there was one thing that I took away, it was paying attention to every single solitary detail, no matter how big or small. Everything you saw up on that screen was there for a reason. There was nothing wasted. Not a single color, not a single creature. Every single creature in that movie had a name, not just a species name, but a personal name.
Ahmed Best
One of the two main things we had going for us was that we had no money, so we couldn't just launch into making the mould because, if we had, we would have wasted a lot of time and money.
Gail Davidson
It sounds overly simple, but I clearly must understand who is selling the car. If I have to look for your dealership's name, or if I just saw your TV commercial and didn't catch who you were, or if I just heard your radio spot and can't remember who you are, you've just wasted your money.
Dorthy Miller Shore
It could serve small clients around that area by using that extra capacity. In this way, idle equipment won't be wasted.
Xu Chuanhai
So, one night when my mom and sister were gone, Aron and I wasted several six packs and got drunk. Yep. There we were. Drunk. In my house. Nothing magical happened. There was no enlightenment. We both staggered around like idiots. Then Aron went off to the bathroom and puked for the longest time.
Bob Anderson
We have a lot of work to do. To play the way we did (last night), it's kinda depressing to know how much we wasted. If we'd played like this all year, we would have had a higher seed, and maybe we'd have played North Carolina in the finals. I take this year as a loss, as a failure. We gypped ourselves.
Dee Davis
The life sciences industry is now in a period of transition, as it seeks to use IT in resolving the process inefficiencies that cause a lot of dollars to be wasted across the spectrum, from R&D to post-marketing. These companies are now witnessing a sharp uptake of IT tools, which is not limited to the drug discovery process in the life sciences industry.
Raghavendra Chitta
I wish I could stand on a busy street corner, hat in hand, and beg people to throw me all their wasted hours.
Bernard Berenson
If he doesn't pick me I'm not going to feel like I wasted my time coming. I look around the room and I do see people who are more deserving of the operation than myself.
Lisa Brown
If fishermen don't return the tags, we've wasted a lot of time and effort this month. I think everyone around the state is waiting to see how this study works out.
Paul Gerrity
We wasted the clock and wasted their legs.
Josh Chapman
In God's economy, nothing is wasted. Through failure, we learn a lesson in humility which is probably needed, painful though it is.

I've been looking forward to seeing the trial of the criminal, ... I feel that my sister's soul will not go wasted if I could see Saddam dead.
Abdul Karim
No Opportunity Wasted.
Phil Keoghan
EPICURE, n. An opponent of Epicurus, an abstemious philosopher who, holding that pleasure should be the chief aim of man, wasted no time in gratification from the senses.
Ambrose Bierce
HP is adding simplicity for HP-UX customers that also buy their management software. They can overlay this ID management tool for the operating system and reduce wasted resources on server management.
Phil Schacter
Wayne Rooney is wasted switching between the right and left hand side. He's got to play through the middle, playing to his strengths. He came inside in the second half but didn't know what he was doing.
Terry Butcher
Any time not spent on love is wasted.
Torquato Tasso
Working on this plan for as long as I have and then having the school board give it the thumbs up, really showed me that all of the work hasn't been wasted. I really know the community is going to embrace this training center and the are a kids will be better off for having it.
Tony Guerra
My second thought was my wife (Cyndi) and my children, and how quickly I could prepare them for what we would be facing. Then I sat there and felt like, 'Man, I wasted a lot of time.' You sure look at things differently.
Mark Richards
Past tragedies have given people an opportunity to prosper. Now we face the challenge of ensuring all the money and material help will be managed with absolute honesty, ... We hope not a single dollar will be wasted.
Jose Vicente Rangel
I think they did a tremendous job because I think the situation on both campuses was handled before lunch, so once they received the tip, they wasted no time in searching the schools.
Becky Mcilraith
The decision to commence blasting in this specific quadrant two weeks before the hearing seems intended to carry out as much irreversible demolition of protected resources as possible before the Court can consider the merits. This decision is also fiscally irresponsible . . . as the cost of undertaking this activity will be completely wasted in the event the plaintiffs prevail in this litigation.
Peter Malkin
This is real. This is about basic, fundamental rights. It's about laying a foundation of equality for everybody, and he missed a golden opportunity to stand on history and to do something that is noble and appropriate. By no means was this a profile in courage. What a wasted moment for his administration.
Gavin Newsom
We have wasted our spirit in the regions of the abstract and general just as the monks let it wither in the world of prayer and contemplation.
Alexander Herzen
We have to get that next goal. You either have to get a stop or get the next goal. It's happened a number of times. Good efforts have been wasted because of it.
Ethan Moreau
The same theme runs throughout: They're playing one thing too much, ... Parents think their child is wasted up if they're not playing something all the time. What people have to realize is, with the exception of the artistic sports like gymnastics and figure skating, you don't have to specialize at a very young age to be good at it later.
Eric Small
The destructive effects of corruption is most evident in smuggling, which is possible only with the collusion of rotten officials at the Bureau of Customs and elsewhere. Jobs are being wasted as domestic industries stagger from the atrocious and ruinous activities of smugglers.
Ernesto Herrera
So much time is wasted on trying to be better than others.
Elijah Wood
