Learning builds daily accumulation, but the prictice of Tao builds daily simplification. Simplify and simplify, until all contamination from relative, contridictory thinking is eliminated.

When you give each other everything, it becomes an even trade. Each wins all.

Lois McMaster Bujold

In the stress of modern life, how little room is left for that most comfortable vanity that whispers in our ears that failures are not faults! Now we are taught from infancy that we must rise or fall upon our own merits; that vigilance wins success, and incapacity means ruin.

Agnes Repplier

The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

Ayn Rand

I love drugs, but I hate hangovers, and the hatred of the hangover wins by a landslide every time.

Margaret Cho

To all the cynics, I'm sorry for you, ... I'm sorry you can't believe in miracles. This is a great sporting event and hard work wins it.

Lance Armstrong

Defense wins games, and our kids came out with great intensity and we did everything we were supposed to do. I really thought that with the young team we played against, we really put a beating on them early.

Jack Rentko

The most amazing thing wasn't our wins but some of our second and thirds from the younger guys. We had some outstanding swims that didn't even score, so that tells you our guys are doing what they have to do.

Kyle Lott

Ante has always shown that he is a big-game player. He can go through a match doing nothing and all of a sudden produce a world-class goal that wins the game.

Lawrie Mckinna

It was good to get out of that inning and score some runs later. I've told them that both wins we've had were huge team wins. Now we just need to get a conference win.

Rebecca Norgard

It's all about getting wins. We're 1-4 -- there's a great sense of urgency. Our back is against the wall. We've got to find a way to get a 'W,' and the only thing that matters to us right now is the Philadelphia Soul.

Wilky Bazile

We've got to get some W's, that's the most important thing. We've got to get two wins in the next two days. We've got to patch up what we're doing wrong to get ready for league next week.

Justin Sparks

Whenever we go to a show, we already see who wins. You see the people who get cast and you already know the ultimate outcome. But what was the show before the show?

Betsy Head

For some reason, we play better on the road. Some of our wins are ugly, but we don't care.

Joel Thompson

It's not an either-or. Broadcast does an exceptional job of carpet-bombing and interactive is efficient and does an excellent job of site-bombing. It is the combination that wins the war.

Gary Stibel

After the Scott County loss, defense completely took over for us. It was all about defense, because defense wins games. Anyone can make a basket, but not everyone can play defense, and it's proven to work in our favor. We showed it again tonight, because it was a war out there.

Tabnie Dozier

Actually, I didn't think about the wins until the beginning of this season. I realized I had 90 and it's not that far away from second place. First was a long-shot anyway.

Matt Lee

We told the kids that you have to enjoy wins like this. We waited so long to beat Fort Frye that you can't take these wins for granted.

Doug Baldwin

This is probably the hardest match to be ready for because it's the first time in the arena, the first time at state for some of these guys. To have good wins the way that our six kids did sets them up to have a good positive day (today), too.

Bill Reed

I plan to just run on my own grounds. A lot of people voted for me and I still hope the best man wins.

Bill Dodson

We've been a in a lot of close games. We just haven't been getting the right bounces. We're only a few points from having at least four or five more wins.

Steve Hare

We just didn't pitch in the second game. The big inning killed us again. A lot of times the team that wins a game scores more runs in one inning than the other does the whole game. They scored six in the fifth inning, and we scored six on the day.

James Mansinger

The other time it crops up, unfortunately too often throughout the year, is when a team wins a championship and decides to celebrate, then they have random events.

Paul Wetzel

So whoever wins, when that fair and accurate count occurs, we can stand behind them and say this is the duly elected leader -- whether it's the person we supported or not -- we have to respect that we know that this is the person that America voted for.

Nadine Smith

Our pitching and defense have been terrific. My first year, I think we rattled off about 10 (wins) in a row. But this is quite a streak. Our kids are on a good run. We're playing good baseball.

Jason Portz

I feel pretty good. Of course it's special to have 300 wins. Now I want 300 more.

Juan Carlos Ferrero

There?s no amount of wins that is worth risking the safety of a kid. He has a bright future ahead of him, so we won?t rush him at all.

Joe Dabkowski

I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.

Shel Silverstein

We've had so many people ask for the original that there's now a waiting list. The original is very hard to find. Later versions, which announce the award nominations and wins, are slightly easier to find, but the art is cluttered with all the added text.

Sam Sarowitz

As we have strung the wins together, so the expectancy levels have risen. It's hard to knock confidence and we have picked up a lot by winning our first five matches.

Jamie Mcallister

I am extremely pleased to see the wins in the small-business category because that says we have begun to accomplish some of our goals to have partners and customers believe we are really serious about that marketplace.

Chuck Robbins

We train our guys to make it to the state series every season. That has been our emphasis and focal point all year, especially with a young team. Taking second is a hard thing to swallow. I don't care who wins it, it wasn't us and that's just a hard thing to swallow.

Travis Dewalt

It's been a struggle, but I think we're staying in games and giving ourselves a chance to win. If we can keep doing that, then hopefully we'll be able to capitalize and get some wins.

Curtis Sanford

Marist just wanted it more. We need to stay hungry. I know this team is not satisfied with 11 wins.

Andre Collins

Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.

Becky Novacek

I'm really not sure. I've put together seven wins in a row — six of them by knockout. I guess the right people were watching.

Frank Wood

We've been at the bottom of the league since I've been there. So for us to be a contender this year was a lot of fun. It was our first winning season in five years. And it was great to beat Hyde [Leadership of New Haven] twice. Of course, they beat us in the league playoffs, but we still had two wins.

Matt Crandley

I was thinking that if he wins the next two slaloms, I would not like to be him going into the Olympics. It's a lot of pressure for him at the moment.

Kalle Palander

If you look at it, this team went from 9-20 to having almost 30 wins.

John Graf

We get all the points at our meets because of him. He wins the high, triple and long jumps, and the 200 at almost every meet. That's 40 points. We scored 63 points last week. You do the math.

Brian Winter

On our road to five (wins), we had to have this one. We told the guys this week that we've played too hard not to get paid. I told them that it's Friday night. It's time to get paid.

Chuck Wright

Self-sabotage is like a game of mental tug-of-war. It is the conscious mind versus the subconscious mind where the subconscious mind always eventually wins.

Bo Bennett

What a game that'll be. Both play two absolutely opposite styles of basketball. We'll see which style wins out.

Lori Hines

Age wins and one must learn to grow old.

Diana Cooper

I'm real happy for me and Jon with this being our senior year. We've accomplished a lot with our 100 wins, we're number three and four in the history of our wrestling program and I'm just happy we both made it.

Josh Bordner

That's a tough lineup. For me to be successful today, I was able to pitch inside of that left-handed lineup. Being able to use my split- finger helped. ... To come away with two wins was good against these guys.

Jon Papelbon

Teams like us, who haven't had as many wins, we kind of stumble a little bit to try to make some plays instead of keeping our composure as well.

Ben Troupe

I can't say enough about this team's heart and resiliency to keep overcoming adversity. They have that one intangible that wins basketball games.

Joe Lafko

That team played us as tough as anyone has in a long time, and it's like a playoff atmosphere in that arena. It's just amazing, but we were able to get out of here with the wins.

Gerry Fleming

No one that's associated with this program right now is content with the weekend. Yes, you're going to find the positives. And you're going to give Rutledge credit, but we want to win games - and ties are not wins.

Jackie Barto

Getting these two wins against two very good teams really helps prepare us for the Public League race.

Kenny Fullman

It's amazing what a couple wins and a new attitude with a new coach coming in (can do). You could just tell that they had been winning games. ...Maybe in their stance on the sideline. The way they hold themselves on the field.

Courtney Mcinnis

The reason most businesses fail is because they are not properly financed. In today's world, increasingly the first guy to get to critical mass might be the one who wins the game.

Don Carson

To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it; for when we fail our pride supports us; when we succeed, it betrays us.

Charles Caleb Colton

When I was back with Baltimore, Sidney Ponson used to tell me that you can't control wins and losses but you can control 200 innings, ... Now, I'd like to get that.

Josh Towers

We saw some things that we can work on. In Wilson we got away from our passing game, and it hurt us, but we had three games this week, and I think they still have a little on their minds about this weekend. We can make good things happen for us out of these games (lopsided wins) if the girls let it happen.

Mark Cross

Every game is do or die, basically, right now. With our inability to win on the road, it's tough to be a top team when the top teams in our league have big road wins.

David Chiotti

It's one of those things where you don't worry about individual wins and losses, you worry about the team. Someone could lose four matches, but still be part of four wins. It takes some pressure of the kids too.

Brandon Macnaught

We came off with three straight wins, a consolation championship on our home court, in front of our fans and against our biggest rival. The kids get to have a real nice weekend.

Nate Spriggs

Of course we want to win the tournament. We've got two bad losses and no key wins. If we beat UAB again, get to the finals and lose ... maybe ... hopefully, they will consider us over them. It's in our hands.

Jason Williams

It's been money well spent. We're giving people their money's worth. Players want to play for exciting teams so we want free agents who want to sign here. That will make it so our fans see an entertaining team that wins more.

Bruce Urban

We've got to settle for smaller accomplishments. Four district wins is more than we've ever had.

Mike Verrill

You usually don't put a lot of stock in who wins a jamboree. We're coming off a 1-9 season and I think it holds a little more weight. The kids played with a sense of urgency. I thought we forced some turnovers and moved the ball well.

Keith Menard

More than anything, we got a little swagger back up front. I think everybody can count on us and believe in us more. You're only as good as your last performance and we capped it off with 10 wins.

Kyle Tatum

It was a much needed victory for the national movement because we've experienced so many defeats over the last year over marriage equality. It shows that dogged grassroots organizing can lead to crucial wins at a statewide level.

Matt Foreman

Defense and rebounding win championships and those two things are hard work. I have it written on the board up there that offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.

Karrmayne King

I tell the kids all the time basketball is a game of runs. We made our run to get back in it. They made a run to take control of the game again. The game is a bunch of runs and a bunch of stops. The team that gets the most of those is the team that wins the game. Unfortunately it wasn't us tonight.

Keith Jennings

Coach tells us that defense wins games and offense just sells tickets. We knew we had to pull it out.

Jerry Kelley

There were definitely a lot of highs this year. I think winning games that, coming into them, we shouldn't have won and no one thought that we would have won was just the best feeling - upset wins, which I guess you could say they almost all were.

Cara Hendry

This ranks as one of the best wins this season. The more meaningful games we win in February will hopefully help us play more meaningful games in March.

Tom Crean

Dean Smith said of all the great wins he ever had, the greatest wins were the wins at Duke. Coach K said the greatest wins he ever had were the wins at Carolina. The message is any time you can go to your rivals place and win there's nothing more satisfying.

Derrick Bell

We are taking all the steps that are appropriate to reach our goals for the season. The girls have done a phenomenal job. These wins were all about them.

Stacy Phillips

I told our girls that defense wins championships. If we could lock them down in the half-court set and make some free throws, I knew we'd be fine.

Jeff Stowers

I like the six wins, and I don't like the six losses. The good news is, we didn't really stub our toe against the teams we should beat, but the bad news is that we didn't knock off any of the (quality) opponents.

Brad Soderberg

I don't think a manager should be judged by whether he wins the pennant, but by whether he gets the most out of the twenty-five men he's been given.

Chuck Tanner

We started off by losing a tough one at 103 and we rebounded well with Javier and Mariano (Portillo) having big wins.

Chad Hitchen

It's really good to get the two wins under the belt this weekend and then go into Yale on Saturday.

Scott Sowanick

We certainly didn't walk round campus with our heads held high. We were embarrassed. When we came back to campus our fans laughed and made fun of us. But the only way we were going to erase that memory was to go out and have some positive wins.

Grant Billmeier

Airlines will come out with a fare, but then be forced to lower it as the day of the flight arrives. It's like they're playing a game of chicken with the passengers, and whoever blinks first wins. Usually, it?s the carrier who blinks.

Christopher Elliott

He won really well last time but it was a bicycle race in the soft. We didn't learn a lot. If he wins well, we might consider the St Leger.

Simon Crisford

At the beginning of the season, we set a bunch of goals, and this was one of them. Coach [Tina Martin] asked us if we wanted to be part of history, and that's all everybody was talking about today, 20 wins. A couple people wrote it on their shoes.

Tyresa Smith

This coming road trip, we have three Big East games. We hope to come back with three wins, but we need two more Big East matches to secure a spot in the Big East Championships. That's been our goal all along.

Becky Emmers

We opened with State College and tied them, 36-36, but lost on the second criteria [most bout victories]. We had more pins, but they had more wins.

Ron Frank

Ross Hartley and Evan Williams have both really done well. They have both been in the championship rounds this year and have gained some experience. They have some wins under their belt and that experience will help them as the season progresses.

Brad Harris

I think Carolina fans have gotten smarter over the years with their expectations. They know how difficult it is to win. There's 10 times the amount of talk this year, but it's not all focused on immediate wins and losses. People aren't unrealistically optimistic.

Todd Ellis

We're a game out of first place right now, so who knows? These kids never cease to surprise me with the things they can do so, you know, let's just go out and play. If we get two (wins) this weekend we're really really in a good position.

Mark Trakh

Obviously they are all big from here on out. Hopefully we can build off this and put a few wins together. We just played such consistent basketball in the second half.

Dee Romine

Nationally, no one ever says anything about my 1,400 games. If you are in New York, everything is magnified. If you are in L.A., the team wins championships every year. Then you get the national pub. But I'm not really interested in that. As long as the people I work for here in Atlanta like what I do, and the fans are happy with me, that makes me happy.

Steve Holman

It's a very proud day for players and fans when their team wins through to the final.

Gary Hetherington

We had a meeting Wednesday and we tried to talk about our emotion and our enthusiasm. They came out early (Friday) so they could get fired up, and I still didn't see a very enthusiastic team out there. I don't know if that's just the way they play, but we got two wins.

Pam Stone

It was a lot of pressure. He was having a couple of health problems. His skin was breaking out. After a while, it was getting to be too much. But he was looking at it the right way. When the team wins, it's the players. When they lose, it's the coach.

Dan Bouchard

We know what we have to do, and we're capable of stringing together wins.

Joe Cappelli

The results of this survey are not surprising. 2005 was a phenomenal year for Maryland. Our economy remained red hot, unemployment remained low and we had a number of tremendous wins.

Aris Melissaratos

Every situation is new, and we're going to have to be able to come out with energy. The team that wins this league is going to be the one that comes out and plays every night.

Keith Freeman

We need to be a better blocking team to get those wins.

Peter Eichler

The next two games are big. If we can pull out two wins, we're right back in it [the SEMO Conference].

Darrin Scott

We're focused on getting good, solid design wins that put us in a good position for the future.

David Rogers

The kind of people we serve don't really have access to the health care that many of the rest of us have. For them, the question often becomes food or the doctor. And food wins.

Jim Bottorf

I knew it would be like this. They were going to get some wins, and we were going to get some wins. We had some surprises and some letdowns, but the one constant was that I knew it was going to be a hard-fought match, (and) that it was going to come down to the end.

Terry Manning

At least top three. A lot of times wins are out of your control, so all he can do is try to finish off strong with his last three (starts) and get his win total up a little bit — and hopefully his other numbers are strong enough to persuade some people to go that route.

Joe Nathan

That game was a huge win for us. It really got our confidence up because we were able to rally and win the game. Those kinds of wins have such a positive effect on the team because it brings us all together. Everyone on the team played well that day, and it showed with the victory.

Megan O'brien

When you've had as many wins as we've had, our confidence has been up. But they've got a great team. This district is going to be anybody's.

Larry Sandburg

Don't judge us by who we are. Judge us by the way we play the game. A champion is a champion based not on how he wins, but how he gets back up after he loses.

Hassan Bazzi

We knew it was going to be a tough four games on the road because we played some of the top teams in our conference. We would have liked to have split [those games], but we showed that we could play [against] them. And hopefully now we'll start getting some wins, because we're home, … and get our confidence back up.

Kadie Riverin

I just tried to go out there and win the game. I don't pay attention to stats. Wins and losses, that's the only stat I pay attention to.

Taylor Bennett

We think coach Meyer is going to be the future. What he demands from us is a lot of responsibility, a lot of time. What he's going to reward us with is a lot of wins. That's a fair trade in my book.

Mike Degory

We played a good game against a good team, but there are no moral victories. We have to keep getting better and turn things like this into wins on the field. There's a few things we have to correct, but we're getting there.

Jeff Zickafoose

I feel confident we're going to make it into the [NCAA] tournament. I see they're talking about teams that have big wins against two teams.

Jamar Nutter

That's such a morale booster. It's really great to overcome that mark, and the sky's the limit for us now in relation to how many wins we can achieve this season.

Lindsay Sawyer

Wins is what matter now. We have two more games. We still have a shot.

Fernando Cabrera

From the start of the year, 40 wins was a goal of mine and it just happened that 41 was the league record. I'm glad to get it and I owe a lot to my teammates because I wouldn't have made it without them. Now, I want 100 career wins and I'm at 98 right now.

Adam Dennis

We'll find out, won't we? It has produced 60 wins. But we all know that's not the ultimate goal.

Del Harris

We are not familiar with their players names from Junior Tennis competition. But we are looking forward to the challenge of making it five wins in a row.

Penny Dean

They?re the deepest. Everybody has good athletes [at] certain places. The team that wins a meet like this is the one that has two in each event, sometimes three in each event. That will really make the difference. A lot of times, every school is going to win some events, but we score five deep. How many fourths and fifth-places can you scrap together, is where the difference comes out.

Dave Loughran

(Hoover) got a lot of pins and we got a few of our own, but they had more first round matches so that helped them. We also lost a few close ones that hurt us. We need some wins in the semifinals to have a chance.

Trent Miller

That's the most important thing in my wrestling. The first takedown in a match is mostly what wins the match.

David Yost

I try not to view myself as a freshman anymore. I've already played (27) games. Back in South Dakota, we only played 18. I feel like I've already been through a whole season, so I have to put that freshman business behind me and just play. ... We're just a couple young guys helping, chipping in to get those wins.

Joe Krabbenhoft

It's back to the old style. We're going to have to grind out wins with our defense. We're just not going to score a lot of points.

John Given

The guy who chokes least wins the most.

Hubert Green

We'll put that in our top two wins of the year. That was the epitome of a fantastic playoff game right there.

Aaron Gavey

I'm really not in that good of shape yet. But I've got two wins already. We virtually had the whole team at the front, and I had super legs for the climb.

George Hincapie

Coach Sherman said you'd be a fool if you didn't take anything away from this season. I think there's a lot of lessons to be learned. One thing you have to take from it is, It's not easy to win games in this league.' We've been competitive and for some reason or another, we just haven't got it done. I know I'm going to appreciate wins more often.

Craig Nall

This is one of the best wins in my career here. We need any win right now just to give these young guys confidence to come out and play hard every night.

Levi Stukes

We knew we were going to be a lot better than we were before. Those (wins) just brought our confidence up a lot.

Chaz Roots

The markets will be relieved once we know the winner. It's more important that there's a clear winner than who wins.

David Braverman

We went through a lot last year. It feels really good to finish out the year with 20 wins. Everyone's happy. Fans are happy. The town is happy. It's nice for our team.

Jimmy Balderson

I won't remember the wins and losses. That's great and all, but I think I'll remember friendships and my teammates.

Melissa Nafzger

I am pleased with the way we have started the season. It is always a good feeling to put up some wins, however, we are not satisfied. Now, we have to focus on conference play and beating teams three times in a series.

Stacey Sullivan

We haven't beaten Bedford since 2001, the year we both won state. If we would have wrestled a little smarter, we might have gotten them today. The opportunities were there, but we didn't capitalize and Bedford did. I've got to give them credit. They pulled out the wins in key situations.

Tim Roberts

He (Corrigan) has re-united the county (with the three championship wins). He has done a good job and I am happy with his performance - he is a gentleman to work with.

Joe Queenan

The wins against Melbourne away and Newcastle away were games we had to win to keep us in contention and we got the result. The same happened last week (in Perth) - we had to win and we got the result. When we know it's our last chance, we tend to play a lot better.

Tom Willis

The team that wins (today) is going to earn a spot in the (regional) playoffs. It's sort of the third, final rubber game to see what goes on.

Charlie Smythers

We've had some good wins, and I thought we did a good job against Iowa and Iowa State. We need to make another jump. We have to become a consistent offensive team. We have to score from the outside on a consistent basis and not just rely on getting the ball inside to score.

Tony Dicecco

In the spring, it's a chance to experiment, to use a different system. You don't have to be concerned with wins and losses.

Steve Holeman

I don't want to take anything away from Martins Ferry because they did a real good job. We just didn't slam the door shut when we had some chances, but a coach once told me that a win's a win.

Gene Ammirante

The players responded really well. They were in a bad situation. Our players never quit. I told them that they need to forget about their wins and learn something from their losses. I think they all listened and played a lot harder and smarter.

Joel Elliott

I'm really proud of this team. It's tremendous to see the depth and unselfishness. I really feel like in December we've gained a lot as a team. A year ago, we wouldn't have had these convincing wins.

Brenda Frese

We're playing a lot better (than earlier in the year). We just need to continue to compete and continue to do what we can do. There are wins out there, but we need to put together four quarters.

Tim Bowman

Focus Features is following a nationwide release pattern and playing it in just a handful of theaters. They haven't offered the film to us yet, but it might become more available, especially if it wins Oscars.

Ron Horton

The relative turnout between the two bases is going to have an awful lot to do with who wins this thing. Particularly since there are so few swing voters anymore.

Stephen Craig

We had freshmen competing at the varsity level. We weren't concerned with wins and losses.

Matt Jensen

Familiarity breeds contempt, while rarity wins admiration.

Apuleius

Those are two very good and extremely talented teams. Our main concern is sticking our routines though. I'm not concerned about who wins the meet. We just need to score well.

Brad Cattermole

But so much depends on which team wins, and right now my gut says Pittsburgh is going to win. America loves winners.

Bob Dorfman

It's a great accomplishment, but I play for the wins, I don't play for the record. I just play hard and try to come out and get a victory. That's what any player should be playing for.

Lawrence Samuels

Never in my wildest dreams did I think winning 24 games and getting to play in this environment was possible. We set the number of 17 as our main goal because that was the school record for wins. But what these kids accomplished is a tribute to them.

Bob Turco

I think our main focus of these next few games is really defending people and boxing out. I think whoever wins the battle of the boards will come up with two victories, either way.

Shay Murphy

In this profession I think it?s really helpful. I think you just have to focus on getting better. We?re trying to just have some tangible goals and things that individually and as a team we can do better. As long as we?re working toward those things, our players have been pretty good to not get caught up in the wins and losses.

Keith Cieplicki

Those two were closer than I thought they would be, but those are two good wrestlers Alton has. They made us work for those wins at those classes.

Russ Witzig

These are two good wins for us the last two nights. Mike got his wheels going at the end. He's a little beat up right now, but at that time of the game he's got the adrenaline going.

Jarrett Hoffpauir

We're happy with five points. We've had some breakdowns, but we're also getting wins going into the playoffs. We're gearing up, working on the little things so that we'll be firing on all cylinders.

Steve Hildenbrand

Four wins is progress. It's a building process. I remind them not to get upset about losing. It's not the end of the world. I want them to keep that in perspective. Just learn from your mistakes and move on. They've got to keep perspective.

Dan Fitzgerald

Remember that old bumper sticker, ?Whoever dies with the most toys wins?? It?s been replaced by, ?Whoever dies with the most experiences wins.

Brent Green

You want to know the value on Kristen, 22 wins. Point guards win. It's sort of like a pitcher. You can't put a value on her. There are so many things she does well. She takes pressure off everybody.

Ron Rohn

You forget about the losses, not the wins, but it's going to carry us over to the next game. All that enthusiasm, it's going to pump us up. We did it before, we can do it again.

Cherlanda Franklin

Seven hundred twenty-four wins, Hall of Fame, four decades, one of the best coaches that has ever coached the game of basketball, and he'll be remembered more for the type of person he was than the coach he was. I think that speaks volumes about Coach.

Joey Meyer

The way we look at our goalkeeper position is once someone wins the position, the other has to win it back.

Becky Burleigh

Ties are never as good as wins. All I asked them before the game was to play real hard and be as fast as they could. They could make all the mistakes that they wanted to make as long as they played hard and they did that.

Steve Hudson

It was a heartbreaking loss for us. We came out of the gates playing really well. We had a letdown in a couple of the games, and then we started to play well toward the end, but it was too little, too late. We have four more (matches) this week, so I'm hoping to get some wins then.

Trisha Williams

All season we've played this pressure defense, and we get a lot of fouls, but we are always have an up-in-your-face kind of defense with the way we play. It's just scrappy and defense wins our games.

Jenna Erdle

We had good rivalry wins against Aspen and Roaring Fork, but this was the next step we needed to take. I don't wanna peak too early, but I think we can play better, which is good.

Patrick Ryan

It's great to come here where I got to win a championship and where there were so many great memories. That makes these wins even more satisfying.

Curtis Murphy

When the kids were down, he was the one always getting everybody hyped up. He's never sitting on the sidelines being quiet. When it loses it kills him and when he wins he's just so happy.

Thomas Britt

[While most fingers pointed at Brown for what's widely viewed as FEMA's slow response to Hurricane Katrina ,] In all fairness, it's like a quarterback in football, ... When the team wins he generally gets too much credit, and when the team loses he gets too much blame. But that's life in the big city. If you're the leader of an organization that's stumbling, you'll probably get relieved.

Randy Larsen

He's pretty strong, that's how he wins his fights, by overpowering guys. To actually hold him out and contain him, I felt pretty good about it.

Brian Mcgrattan

If Pat wins one as a coach, with Shaq here, it'd be great. Both of their legacies would go to another level.

Tim Hardaway

We are all disappointed in our 2-4 record right now. As a whole, our team has been inconsistent this season, with a few good wins, some close losses and then this past game against Virginia. But even in the losses, we have seen some great things. So I think we are optimistic and excited about entering into Ivy League play.

Lauren Vance

That?s all right, the wins will come.

Adam Harben

What I miss when I'm away is the pride in baseball. Especially the pride of being on a team that wins.

Billy Martin

It was big for us because we got our first two wins. We didn't play as well as we could have, but we got the wins. It's tough because we're still not at 100 percent.

Valerie Vladea

We wanted to send our seniors out with something to remember. If we win two times tonight, we would've broken the school record for wins, but it didn't happen.

Mike Humphrey

We're just trying to turn the program around, trying to get five wins. We're not worried (about SHG). It's just another game. We just want to go out, play a good game and take it from them.

Curt Courtwright

We are obviously excited to get our second straight sweep and I am pleased we have been able to string together some wins. I think we swung the bats well towards the end of the game, but we need to continue to improve in some areas.

Brian Cleary

Sergio has been playing well for a very long time, it's just a testament to his work ethic. Andrei has rattled off several wins and has just become more comfortable in his skin.

Dann Nelson

Getting these three wins puts a staple on the fact that we're a different team. But these were three wins we were supposed to have, and the Big Ten is a whole different season in itself. We're starting over now.

Alan Zemaitis

Coach hit on that the other day. He said we have three wins and the team in fifth place has five wins. Everybody wants to get that high seed. Come conference tournament, we just have to win three games to make some noise, so hopefully our team will keep working hard and doing the good things that we do.

Chris Ross

He's been a dream to coach. Not only is he a nice player, but he works extremely hard. He wins every wind sprint when he really doesn't have to.

Kirk Hanson

I've been told the most wins in school history is 13.

Josh Cammack

It feels good to get my career-high in points, but that doesn't really matter. I'm just glad that we won the game. We need to get as many wins as we can here at home.

Mike Bibby

Three wins in 17 matches is not good enough.

Farouk Kadodia

One thing I see he has more this year more than anything is confidence. He's gotten some big wins and that gives you confidence.

Jim Zalesky

This is a cyclical business and so there is always someone in the supply chain who wins and someone who loses.

John Felmy

We have such a prestigious competition here. The U.S. usually wins, and you know, it was a lot of pressure and a lot of fun to go out there and hit it well as a team and bond.

Jana Bieger

He is out of touch. Let him take the side of people who committed fraud and stole billions from investors and retirees. We'll take the side of working people who got screwed by corporate crooks. We'll see who wins.

Darren Dopp

We're playing so well right now, the wins will happen. Our top players can go up against any player in the league, and we also have two young freshman who are just playing phenomenal and coming into their own.

Laura Schuler

People tried to dismiss my candidacy when I ran for the United States Senate against an incumbent in 1992, and I had little money... And so I believe that so long as we have enough to keep going, to keep our operation going, to get to the point that people -- the people can speak, not just the money. The money primary is one thing, but the people's votes in the end will determine who wins.

Carol Moseley Braun

Our schedule has us playing some Top 25 teams this season. This schedule is a better situation for our team. It's strong enough to get some national-level matches and it still gives us the chance to get some wins against some of the top programs out there.

Beth Launiere

I don't really judge it by wins. My personal goal is a .500 season. I don't set that goal for them. Their goal is to give me everything they have and learn as much as they can this season.

Chuck Adams

Our seniors came through. It was kind of neat that it was the last dual meet of their careers and they came through with some big wins.

Randy Connelly

Our first goal this year was to make the playoffs, and that we did. This is three wins in a row, and a playoff spot.

Rachelle Lemieux

Hey, it can happen. Who's to say that if we string a group of 10, 11, 12 wins in a row we can't make up this ground? This is what you want.

Mike Redmond

We will focus on the positives we had tonight and continue to get after it in practice. If the effort is there, the sky is the limit for this team. I've been preaching that from day one. I think they realize now that hard work - in practice and in games - wins basketball games.

Craig Pippen

For winter's rains and ruins are over,/ And all the season of snows and sins;/ The days dividing lover and lover,/ The light that loses, the night that wins.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

I'll do it this summer. Whichever team wins a series takes the skis home.
