David Sibley

We all believed in ourselves. It was a matter of confidence and that creates a fine line between winning and losing.

Patrice Bergeron

Our kids were incredible tonight. I never thought we'd beat a great Tremont like that after losing to them by 24 points.

Matt Winkler

We had something to shoot for after losing that first one to them. We were a lot hungrier this time, especially in the second half.

Amy Simpson

I don't think it's anything about Eastern, it's more of a coincidence. I didn't want to leave this arena or these fans on a losing note.

Albert Smith

To hold them to 0-0 was a great effort for us. We showed a lot of character not to fold when the put the pressure on us. And to reach the semifinals after losing the first game was good for us, too.

We're not happy about (losing by two points), but at the same time, in a dual meet, we're gonna have 14 people in the lineup.

Ville Nieminen

I think the biggest difference is winning and losing.

Maurice Freeman

I don't gamble, because winning a hundred dollars doesn't give me great pleasure. But losing a hundred dollars pisses me off.

Alex Trebek

I think we had more of a fear about losing the farm during the tough times. We wanted to keep it so bad.

John Logan

I came here to win a medal. I know that anything can happen in our sport. I didn't want to finish fourth in the final. Finishing fourth, it's like losing.

Dominique Maltais

It's been a combination of issues for us. A lot of it depends on how we do in the circle, but we also have to play defense and hit. I really don't like (losing) because it's frustrating. But I do think everybody is trying to figure it out.

Margo Jonker

He is such a presence. Losing Tommy hurt us more than anything else.

Bjorn Borg

That was a big win in league for us after losing two very close games last week. I feel anything can happen any night with most of the teams.

James Nicholson

Hopefully, (the win) will set the tone for us to keep on going. The thing is, I think we've all learned more. I know I have. I know what it takes, to be up a certain amount of points, and then keep from losing it.

Courtney Beasley

The thing that excited me about Georgetown is that I know I'll have good kids. Some of the things that other coaches have to worry about -- losing your best player because of academics -- I won't have to worry about. I just have to get them to play basketball.

Mike Rowinski

The numbers say we've quit losing population. We've evened out since 2000 and are now looking at some moderate gain.

Leon Heath

Both of them have a long history of success, and they're both great people. That's why I feel kind of good about it. Even though we're losing kids to them, I know they're going to great people and teachers of the game.

Rick Little

We have to start getting the breaks. When you're losing close games, it seems like they are going against you. We have to keep these guys' mindset positive because we are playing good baseball.

Tom Scarpinato

He had a dream. But he also had a nightmare that America was losing its soul.

Reverend Edwin King

Losing Emily hurt because she creates shots for other people. I probably should have called a timeout to get her out of there.

Steve Koehler

One thing they say about coaching is that losing is your best teaching tool. I've learned through a couple of tough losses. Losing has kind of been a blessing for me.

Every year is different in and of itself. At a highly competitive level, a Division I level or in pro sports, the difference between winning and losing is so minute. We won a bunch of close games last year. Things aligned.

Terry Zeh

He never had possession with his leg up off the ground doing an act common to the game of football. He was losing it while his other leg was still on the ground.

I'm losing one of my best friends because of this. He's dying and it's all because he went into the water.

Stephany Sofos

We are looking to turn the corner this year and come out of a losing slump.

Talen Singer

Never change a winning game; always change a losing one.

Bill Tilden

It's awesome, especially after losing in the quarterfinals. It was harder then to keep moving forward. After losing, you have to get out of that mindset. You have to focus on what is coming up next instead of looking back and what you just did. This is awesome.

Colten Moore

We had them on the ropes, and you could feel them losing confidence. We pressured them out of their offense, and they were getting rushed. We were just able to capitalize.

Russell Robinson

Losing Larry is definitely going to hurt us. Everyone needs to step it up.

Ira Newble

That's the sad part of working with people my age. You lose one, and it's like you're losing family. I have a big album of people I've lost here.

Sheriff Barry Stankus

Losing a player like her was hard because she does so much on and off the court.

Nicole Ohlde

It won't ease it a lot, as much as we've lost. But it would help us. Once you get going on a losing streak, it's hard to break. We've got to get in our minds that we're going to win.

Dwayne Curtis

It wasn't pretty, but winning ugly is better than losing.

Dave Spinale

It had to be done. We're down to one sixth-grade class, one fifth. They're cutting sections because we're losing kids.

Jennifer Levesque

Yes, it's a bit disappointing [losing the final of the World Cup against Australia].

Sourav Ganguly

Losing used to hurt me.

Ronnie O'sullivan

He's prepared. He's done about everything you can do except sit in the (general manager's) chair. I'm proud of him, but we're losing a good man.

Terry Ryan

Losing one or both of them would be devastating.

Darrell West

Instead of losing jobs, Mississippi is gaining jobs. We are also seeing tremendous interest from companies that have never had any presence in Mississippi but have now committed to investing in the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

John Harral

It's not a question of us losing anymore. Now, we're going into the game knowing that we can win.

Greg Andrews

There is the possibility of losing your hearing. That's when it gets to a very serious level.

Melaney Arnold

The time-trial will be very difficult, more than it seems. I think there may well be some huge time-gaps at the finish. But I'm not leaving the starting gate with the intention of losing the jersey. I'm going to defend it.

Roberto Heras

In the last eight games (since losing to G-A), we've been playing much better defensively. (G-A) is a good team ... but tonight our kids just played very well.

Jerry Mastenbrook

Losing two students is a shock to the school and to the school community.

Sara Stern

You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.

Mayme Jo Robinson

We keep losing these close games, but five or six bounces, and we could be 4-0.

Coleman Collins

We should have won last week but ended up losing and it was a disappointment. We have got to rectify that.

Jim Moffat

Losing jobs in Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities is quite serious. Look what happened with the Gate Gourmet dispute with British Airways.

Gary Titley

After losing last year, we really wanted another chance. Playing in this atmosphere is just one of the greatest feelings.

Brittany Rogers

After losing last year, it feels great to win one.

Mark Chase

That's nuts. I honestly didn't know that. Hopefully he keeps not losing games here.

Tony Young

NBC is losing between $2 (million) and $3 million each time they air The Book of Daniel. With those kinds of losses, NBC may decide to cancel the show.

It's always good to get a win, but especially right now with us losing a couple of games, to get us back on track.

Troy Farnsworth

Compliance with regulations ... that's not a big stick, ... When companies start losing customers, that can have a very significant economic effect.

We are not losing production. We have highly productive operations with fewer employees.

Patrick Schillinger

It's amazing what we've done. But after today, it won't sink in until later. We hate losing.

They handed it to us on our home court, and we hate losing on our home court. So we knew we had to have a big game today.

Sha Brooks

Gained his fame not by winning, but by losing.

Brandon King

This is really special for us. We've dealt with the losing season and the .500 season. We now have a chance to experience the winning side.

Ryan Brooks

The lead helped our confidence. We knew we had to avoid a letdown after losing this morning.

Katie Aaron

My concern is that we're placing him in this institutional conflict of interest, and that the library could end up losing in the end.

Mark Lieberman

You know, the breaks didn't go our way. It hurts losing this game.

Jimmy Balderson

I just hope our guys don't fall to the pain of losing. That's what it seems like could be ahead, but you've got to fight.

Antwan Peek

People are tired of losing. They want someone who can win this race, and they believe I am the one who can do that.

Ron Saxton

Most of that comes from winning. Because when you're losing, you can't make jokes, kid around and give high fives. The winning allows you to do a lot of things. Everybody's loose and playing loose.

Julio Lugo

You can see it. It has to be tough for him. There's a lot of pressure on him. He's handled it well, and I'm sure losing is frustrating for him.

Alexander Auld

It's a lose-lose situation. The world is losing consumption faster than people can cut back production.

Paul Aho

I'm fighting like an animal, and I get so close. I was getting so close and losing. That's disappointing, but I know why I'm playing this kind of game. I'm confident for the future.

Kristof Vliegen

It is hard to say with any confidence...there is a very small difference between winning and losing.

Dean Barker

Losing this way and having this kind of season just motivates us.

Brianne O'rourke

I don't think the new festivals have affected us. You'd look at whether films we want are choosing to go elsewhere or whether we are losing audience and so far neither has happened.

Richard Pena

Losing a pound isn't necessarily a reward. Being healthy and feeling good about yourself is the reward.

Nancy Peterson

Winning may not be everything, but losing has little to recommend it.

Senator Dianne Feinstein

If I lose my job, it's worth it. It's worth losing several jobs to get my papers.

Jordyn Kroboth

I am losing $2,600 a week on fuel that used to go toward my profit.

Robert Mills

He said take out your maps, folks, here's where we're winning, here's where we're losing, here's what we have to do.

Marie Muhvic

If District 7 is money is going to the northeast project, and then it's not completed, we come out on the losing end.

Jeff Tidyman

Looks excessive for the right to own a loss-making, share-losing business.

Mark Swartzberg

We thought it was a good way to honor my father's service, ... And this is really important because we are losing so many.

Harold Koenig

We need to do better in batting, ... We have been losing too many wickets with the new ball. If we get out of that habit we should be okay.

Habibul Bashar

You get tired of losing at certain places. That's all part of maturity.

It starts as soon as it impacts our production. We're losing production of vehicles so it's already impacting our profits.

Andrew Fraser

The momentum of the game, I liked it, ... Because even though we were losing, it was coming in our favor. The guys never stopped fighting.

Shawn Evans

He knew who I was and that I was a fighter, and he said 'I'd like you train me, will you teach me?' And I ended up training this kid and then I ended up losing contact with him.

Aaron Brink

That was our first NCL loss. It's not just losing in the NCL. It's losing in general. That lost might have been an awakening for some people.

Mark Royer

Losing is no fun no matter who it's against. This was a tough loss for us, but we will regroup and come back.

Lee Maciejewski

We're kind of playing that way right now, where we're getting a lead and then losing it. We can't do that against West Salem.

Jack Martino

It's a fine line, the difference between winning and losing, and you have to win these games. It gives you confidence. It gives you momentum. A win like this takes the question away of whether we can do it. We've done it now.

Robbie Tobeck

He has become good at figuring out how much he can get out of them without losing them.

Dennis Hutchinson

We have never given up, no matter how bleak things looked. These guys are fighters; they could be losing 24-2, and they'd still never quit.

Andrew Hopman

The ability to change one's views without losing one's seat is the mark of a great politician.

Morris K. Udall

I'm pretty happy to get out of here only losing five points after that heat race.

John Wolfe

David does everything for us, and not having him in there definitely hurts us. I'm sure he would have made a difference. I don't know if he would made the difference between winning and losing.

Jason Treutelaar

We're losing twice, we're losing money and we're losing the confidence of the people in the township.

Rob Stevens

That's gonna be the difference between winning and losing.

Jesse Nakanishi

I don't know how to explain it but they're not losing their determination to win despite those consecutive victories.

Over the long haul, it's almost certain that these will be a losing bet.

Russ Kinnel

We've got a lot of new kids coming on, but we're only losing two of our boys. So we'll still be fairly strong.

Mike Cordray

Winning and losing are both contagious and right now, we're on the good side of it.

Kurt Cohen

Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.

Jackie Chan

We will do an in-house service. If they will get their employees together, we'll go in and address those issues that they're losing points on routinely.

Charles Stephens

After forty a woman has to choose between losing her figure or her face. My advice is to keep your face, and stay sitting down.

Barbara Cartland

You have these high numbers, and it doesn't even seem like you're making a dent. You're losing Wilkes-Barre.

Frank Marra

They are trained to be what they want to be. They get used to the drama of winning and losing when they are 17. They grow up faster.

Maurizio Gherardini

Kathy Baylis

Marissa Kazbour

So I see the terrorist attacks as acknowledgement on the terrorists' part that this is a center of gravity [in the war on terror] and that they're losing.

Marine Genpeter Pace

I am at piece with my decision. Sure I will be losing my six figure income but, I think its time.

Gary Degraide

The only thing that really dampened this season was the losing. I had a great time with this team. Those kids were great. Really, only the losing was a negative.

Joe Blair

All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.

Scott Alexander

This was happening at the same time the Indians were losing six of the last seven games, and my dad said, 'Your job isn't so different from being an Indians fan,' .

Hal Lebovitz

We've designed the telescope at a fraction of the normal cost without losing any resolution.

David Buckley
