I'm getting woken up every morning with demolition crews hauling off cedar beams, good stuff. Once again, we're a day late, a dollar short.
Oliver Houck
It's a loss. We are 2-1. What happened last year doesn't matter. We beat them once and lost to them once. We lost to them when it counted and that's all that matters about last year.
Alan Faneca
After that first goal, they came pretty quick. We just had some trouble getting going, but once we did, we played well.

Mark Snyder
Once they are eligible to take the money out they won't pay taxes on the earnings.

Kate Miller
People come from all over the world. Once they visit, they keep coming back.

Charles Palmer
He won't be as powerful as he once was. He will have been tainted by scandal.
Richard Semiatin

Hans Johnson
Once a fruit or vegetable has been cut, it can be a better medium for growth of bacteria.

Joe Mikulik
We are just stay-at-home moms. But once we started organizing this benefit, it just grew and grew.
Stacy Davis
They're 10 years ahead of us over there. That was the best time of my life. They (Japanese) don't just let anyone in, but once they see that you can hit home runs they love you.
Tuffy Rhodes
I'm terribly attention-seeking. It's very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can't exactly.
David Walliams
The mistake is once a student-athlete, always a student-athlete. So you can't receive any funds or any goods once you graduate. I really believe it was a misinterpretation. I don't think it was an attempt to gain any advantages.
Lew Perkins
It took us some time to determine what the problem was, but once they did, the vendor came in and fixed the problem. And we are glad they did.
David Weinstein
Once you get the ball rolling you relax and it gets a little bit easier to knock some of those shots down. They looked like they were having fun again tonight.
Barb Felderman
Once they get through the traditional fact-finding period, it is after that point that they would have public hearings into the matter. They will go through the normal course of their investigation, which is the fact-finding period.
Tom Hunter
Once we sign up to be posted, the police will help with enforcement.
Don Hudson
You do not die all at once. Some tissues live on for minutes, even hours, giving still their little cellular shrieks, molecular echoes of the agony of the whole corpus.
Dr. Richard Selzer
The woman who does not choose to love should cut the matter short at once, by holding out no hopes to her suitor.
Marguerite de Valois

John Friend
We typically notify customers of the big ones. But every once in a while, someone doesn't have the updates. There's only so much we can do.

Horace Smith
If an idea's worth having once, it's worth having twice.

Mike Basso
He worked his butt off for eight innings, and I go out there and give up the lead not once but twice.
Jason Isringhausen

Wayne Yancey
Now once, I was down heartedDisappointment, was my closest friendBut then you, came and it soon departed.
Jackie Wilson
They're a couple of galloping horses, and they were just wonderful and all. You had to pull them back every once in a while and that was about it.
Richard Donner
The real benefit is the ongoing branding of the city. You have to announce yourself every once in a while.
David Baxter
She is fearless. Not once has she ever said no.
Todd Eberle
This is nothing unusual. We're just rotating once in a while. The 'Candle' ad will run this coming week.
Matt Storin
Our defense has been playing well and this was our 10th shutout this year. I was pretty confident once we got a goal. We aren't going to give up many goals.
Dwayne Lawrence
Before, once it has been aired, it's gone, and it doesn't really contribute to our knowledge space.
Jakob Nielsen
I was skeptical that Boyd would be able to deliver. Bob has made a major believer out of me. He has proven more than once that he knows how to put together a team.
Dennis Forst
Even though it's not the regular season, it gets the monkey off his back, ... You could see once he scored his first goal how excited he got, how much confidence he got.
Jeff Halpern
I thought we played really well offensively. But I thought we kind of cruised once we got ahead. We didn't play well on the defensive end.
Shawn Sullivan
Once we get guys in scoring position, we're kind of limited. The bottom line is we haven't done that with the consistency that we need to. ... We have one, two, three, four, five legitimate .300 hitters. Now we need guys who can hit for power.
Lawrence Scully
Once you see a touchdown, there's no need to make a move. You just use your speed.
Ted Ginn Jr.
We're not going to be able to run the ball on every team. We're not going to be able to do that, ... We've got to establish a passing game, and I feel like once we do that, then this team might be unstoppable.
Adrian Peterson
If you come in and then get released two times, you have a higher chance of dying than if you come in once. If you come back three times and go back out, you have a much, much higher chance of dying.
David Chang
The girls had already been displaced once this year, displacing them now, and possibly again later if the new dorm opened was a bigger concern to us.
Lorry Green
I was seeing the ball as if it was a beach ball. Once Decker hit that home run, it was the spark we needed and turned into a snowball effect.
Stephanie Crews
Once you get into year three you get into corrective action.
Gordon Jackson
It's always a miracle that anything gets up. [British director] Michael Blakemore said to me once, 'You're lucky if one out of three work.' But it's not for lack of trying.
Kathleen Marshall
I'm having a lot of fun with the fight scene because Emily and I are friends. I'm lucky to be doing that with such a good actress because Emily makes me stay in character. Once we start, we don't break character.
Paige Patterson
I don't know if we were a little tense, but we just kind of lost it there, ... We never could recover. Once we gave up those runs we knew we were in trouble.
James English
I just expect that you're going to do it and do it right. Once they understand that and they know it's for their betterment, why wouldn't you do it?
Bill Howard
We were all thinking that 2002 had been a once-in-a-lifetime event, that it would never happen again. So far, this year is worse than 2002.
Tom Pagano
Once you design one enclosure with SBB-compliant slots, you can change the function of that enclosure by changing the SBB canisters [controllers]. What we're telling people how to do is design an interface that allows them to change these things.
Bill Dawkins
She has a lot of friends. I am amazed how many people. Once they know her they feel attached to her.
Yawcheng Lo
A Chicago alderman once confessed he needed physical exercise but didn't like jogging, because in that sport you couldn't hit anyone.
Andrew H. Malcolm
That's why that first out is so important in the seventh inning. Once again, Cody pitched a great game (he was a 2-1 loser to Bolles a week ago), then we go and make it interesting. Poor guy.
Matt Mccool
Once the ball hits your hands, the next thing should be the ball leaving your hands.
David Jackson
He didn't know how to handle money. To him, money was folly. He once brought a laptop in my office to show me. He liked it so much he bought 30 of them.
John Lacher
At one point, she regretted it, but once she sold some paintings, she felt she had to continue.
Wendell Ott
I'm having so much damned fun. Especially once I heard the audience response.
Beatrice Arthur
The politics are going to get pretty hot once the new nominee comes in, because it's the O'Connor spot. Why mess with the Roberts' nomination?
Marci Hamilton
Your Englishman, confronted by something abnormal will always pretend that it isn't there. If, however, you force him to look into it, he'll at once pretend that he sees the object not for what it is but for something that he would like it to be.
James Agate
Once you touch the trappings of monarchy, like opening an Egyptian tomb, the inside is liable to crumble.
Anthony Sampson
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso

Ettiene De Grellet
Danny is as fast as Nick Knight. Once his skill catches up with that -- probably by midseason at the earliest -- he's going to be a threat. Defensives are going to have a hard time with him.
Derek Mazeitis
Once you get your foot in the door, then we have 1984.
