We started out real flat. Once we got that first period out of the way, we started playing a little better.

Steve Salwei

A dream will always triumph over reality, once it is given the chance.

Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Once I could persuade these guys that all I wanted to hear from them was what they did - Tell me what you do - once you can persuade someone that this is all you're after, you can't shut them up because we're all fascinated by what we do.

Roger Angell

Listen a hundred times; ponder a thousand times; speak once.

Turkish proverb

I wasn't ready for another inning and a half. It was pretty brutal. There wasn't much sun, but once it got dark, it started getting really cold.

Doug Blundy

Once the bear's hug has got you, it is apt to be for keeps.

Harold Macmillan

For guys that had never done it before, I think they realized how much fun it is (to represent your country). It's a different feel of baseball. For me, it was once gain an honor to wear Canada.

Ryan Radmanovich

And once that character came on, the ratings, like, doubled.

Ryan Murphy

I'm getting pitches to hit and swinging. Once you get your pitch, keep swinging.

David Ortiz

That was quite an experience. Your legs felt good, because it was kind of like an ice bath. But once we got out of the water, we couldn't walk.

Clay Peterson

I can't speculate on what the report will tell. Once we receive the report, the decisions will be made.

Lanedra Carroll

He shot it from the point. I think it was deflected once if not twice in front of the net.

Dave Strang

Michael told me once that the reason he's so involved with his own kids is because he'll never have to be lonely.

Michael Stoller

Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.

Jane Austen

They're a good club. Props to them. They kicked our butts twice but we got 'em once. That third (game) was important. Just to show we can beat them ? and that they can be beat.

Josh Upchurch

That's why it's good to be an actor once in a while.

Monica Bellucci

Companies in the print media industry are once again investing heavily. We're seeing an improved investment climate.

Bernhard Schreier

People didn't realize the opportunities in media in Denver and now they're all jumping in at once.

Zac Folk

For me to get my hands on all that information — that's priceless. Once I've downloaded it, I can listen to what they say again and again.

Justin Kavanaugh

There was no color in his face, but once I was able to get some breaths in him the color started to come back.

Becky Chittom

Not once, during this whole thing, did he ever seek pity. That just isn't who Bailey is.

Shannon Bailey

Once you decide to work for yourself, you never go back to work for somebody else.

Alan Sugar

Each subcommittee has a time frame in which they need to get their stuff finished in. Once they finalize that, they have to go through their brainstorm, they have to make their contacts, and they have to finalize [their plan].

Beth Richardson

You have to be able to compartmentalize a lot of information and put it together all at once.

Les Abend

I am shocked at such allegations. Hank Jr has had to defend himself once already in Memphis last Friday from erroneous allegations, and now this.

Kirt Webster

A Father. A Son. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Kirk Douglas

He was everywhere at once.

Michel Gondry

But, ... once the game gets started, I think the New York crowd will go back to being a New York crowd.

Shaun Williams

I didn't think we handled their defense too well. We were too rushed. We passed once then shot. We didn't break them down.

Otto Steigerwalt

We have break-ins once in while. The neighborhood has some problems, but this was really surprising.

Nial Wagner

Once in a while you'll get something like the Wedding Crashers trailer. It gets more people to see the trailer and interact with it in a way they've never been able to before.

Ian Schafer

You get one of those maybe once in a career. It was just floating.

Anthony Jordan

At halftime, we changed our scheme and added another midfielder. That was the total difference. Once we made that change, they weren't able to move up the field nearly as much.

Larry Slason

The zone offense started clicking. Once we made about five [3-pointers], that blew it open.

Doug Hayes

Once we do get the end of quantitative easing, it will be some time before we get an end to zero interest rates.

Adarsh Sinha

I knew they wouldn't hold me down for long. As a shooter you get your rhythm once the first shot falls.

Ryan Wallace

Once he flew his flight, it was as if St. Louis didn't exist anymore.

Hugh Scott

Once we got up early on them with those three goals, we just stuck with what we were doing.

Brian Gionta

Once again, we're just making too many mental errors. We were in the game, then we started making turnovers and you can't do that against a team like Corpus.

Deann Craft

There are people who work very hard and very correctly to make this fantastic game work in this country. I think we owe it to them to nail these allegations once and for all.

Richard Scudamore

Good authors, too, who once knew better words Now use only four-letter words Writing prose - Anything goes.

Cole Porter

I have no words to describe what I'm feeling right now. We just proved once more that the Greek soul has always been there, the greatest thing that God gave us.

Theodoros Zagorakis

Once that momentum slips a little bit, it can go all the way.

Juli Inkster

The game of basketball is 40 minutes, we knew we still had time. Once we finally got to our game plan we were able to come out on top.

Jai Lewis

They had no spatial intelligence. Streets weren't where they once were.

Anthony Veltri

I'm sure it will have a lot of interest, but that's a far cry from saying they will be sold. Remember they were on the market once before.

Stan Kasten

Once he knew his family was OK, he was a lot better.

Jay Herkelman

Risk versus reward once again worked in Goldman's favor.

Susan Roth

Walking around the department, I don't feel it's down. We've all got championships to play for, and once we left that room we knew that our focus would be back on our own team.

Rod Myers

We're looking forward to a game. We're hoping to play. It seems like it's been a month. Once you start playing, that's a long time to not be playing.

Denny Throneburg

We won a number of big games that were very, very close. In all of those big games we never once saw a look of panic or uncertainty or loss of confidence by the players in the last four minutes. This was a very, very confident team.

Dave Boyce

We know that he has been killed, but do not know whether it was because of personal hostility or because he once had joined the Taliban.

Lutfullah Mashal

The response of law enforcement and prosecutors to this threat didn't have nearly as much to do with the fact that it involved David Letterman as it had to do with the fact that Kelly Frank was the defendant, ... Once we knew of his criminal history and his behavior, we took this very seriously.

Joe Coble

I feel good. It's OK. I was running good enough to make the bases. I felt it a little bit yesterday, but I'm fine. Once I start stretching and running again, I don't feel it.

Ruben Sierra

Once the entry was made into the room, there was no force put up by the two suspects that were apprehended.

Lt. Heath Taylor

There is no area of the law that doesn't get expanded and deepened once you step out of the U.S.. It's great for the legal community.

David Stanley

Every once in a while I'm brilliant.

Steve Stirling

It's not going to be years, it's going to be months. Once that is done, the building will be vacated and put up for sale.

Larry Spell

Once I was a forty pound weakling. Now I am two separate gorillas.

Vivian Stanshall

Once the horse is out of the barn, it's hard to get him or her back in.

Gary Libby

During my whole life I have not found a happier hunting ground than in the course of the Somme Battle. In the morning, as soon as I had got up, the first Englishmen arrived, and the last did not disappear until long after sunset. Boelcke once said that this was the El Dorado of the flying men.

Manfred Von Richthofen

I got some very good advice once. That was: You're not talking to a reporter, you're talking to the public. We didn't hide things. They are a little more guarded now.

Marv Levy

We did it in phases; we knew there was no way (to do it all at once).

Annette Brightwell

He believes in himself now. That's the main thing as far as hitting is concerned. Once a guy is convinced he can hit, they're pretty tough to stop.

Pat Casey

These regulations, once successfully implemented, will drastically improve the playing field for smaller companies.

Charlie Martin

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

The two big plays in the first half put us in a hole, but once we adjusted we got our first score and got our confidence back.

Denny Fedigan

Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.

Arnold Bennett

Their goalie was really good. And once the momentum swung, it was a nice downhill slide for them, like the Winter Carnival [in Quebec City].

Kevin Dineen

Once you build out the system your remaining (spending) is based only on growth. The big expense is a one-time lump expense.

Christopher Taylor

If it is once again one against forty-eight, then I am very sorry for the forty-eight.

Margaret Thatcher

Once in this section you'd have to descend quickly or fly right into the side of Class Bravo.

Jim Timm

I guess it was vintage our-style. Once we get ahead, now we can dictate.

Donald Bough

Once he was in custody, an ambulance was immediately called because of his bizarre behavior, his nudity and his sweating.

Aaron Lee

It's real tough to get out of it. Once you get it locked up, it's real tough to break it.

Tommy Dolde

It was 1980-'81, ... and I was booking bands for the George Street Grocery. I heard him play once, and he was great. I always tried to hook Sam up with a band.

Malcolm White

If you can vote more than once, my suggestion in this democratic society is vote early and vote often.

Byron Paulson

Immigrant bashing is as American as mom's apple pie. The latest batch of anti-Hispanic bashing, the suggestions that they're indigestible — the same things were once said of the Germans, the Irish, Italians, almost every other group.

Fred Greenstein

Let me just say once and again that we are proud of our accounting and disclosure practices. We hope this issue is behind us and we'd like to move on.

John Joyce

Any man who, having a child or children he can't support, proceeds to have another should be sterilized at once.

H. L. Mencken

There's nothing set in stone, but I've been working 10 hours days, plus Saturdays once in awhile.

Matt Pischke

There's a beautiful connection between music and we think this box set kind of proves that, once and for all.

Michael Greene

They came at us and Erin made some nice saves in the first 20, but it was a barrage. When you have that many shots, they're bound to make one. And once they make one it kind of ruins it and we open the floodgates for them.

Nathan Drye

Once in a while you get a moment of clarity -- an inspiration -- and they don't come that frequently.

Paul Reiser

Once I start something, I always finish it. They had been trying to get X-Men made for 30 years and they thought maybe if I got involved, it might actually happen.

Bryan Singer

We're lucky to have this once a week. It's tough to simulate.

Adrian Wilson

Once we get our goals going, then we start to get rolling. We know that Jacksonville has come back from bigger leads than 2-0, but we felt like, once we took that lead into the first half, we were good to go.

Barksdale Thompson

No agreement has been signed but we have been involved in discussions with the Hungarian FA. We will confirm that once we are in a position to do so.

Adrian Bevington

Once inextricably tied to the entertainment world, now luminaries are found in all walks of life.

Johnny Grant

Suffering, once accepted, loses its edge, for the terror of it lessens, and what remains is generally far more manageable than we had imagined.

Lesley Hazelton

To have the time away from the maddening crowds is very meaningful in a soul-searching sense. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Tom Mclaughlin

I think once it's all over, then I'm going to look back and be excited about what I did. But right now, I'm on a mission and it's not done yet.

Nick Parisi

I think this is a big accomplishment. Everything went about as well as we planned. Once he made his move, he pretty much had it made.

Bob Holthus

We're going to hang tough. The majority of it is mental. Once you start winning you get confidence going. You can't get used to losing.

Randall Godfrey

Once I hit the guard rail, I lost my semi-balance and it dropped behind me.

Matt Stairs

Once you know you're 'the guy' it becomes my team. And I need to take it upon myself to play good. A lot of the game is all on the quarterback. If I don't play good, then we're not going to play good.

Shane Steichen

We had once thought Mr. Koizumi's government could meet our expectations, but it now seems we may have overestimated their ability.

Hiroaki Muto

Once they hear the artists that are coming in and the numbers we are turning out, their next question is I need to check your available dates.

Robin Walker

Once those products are opened, we can no longer sell them at full price, so we have to make up for that.

Amanda Tate

We need to make sure the training doesn't happen just once because there's a high turnover at the shelters.

Dean Spade

Obviously that's a devastating experience. Once she is in many different places she's going to be psychologically damaged. And she's going to find it harder to find a permanent family, and that's what happens to too many children in the system.

Marsha Lowry

Once, power was considered a masculine attribute. In fact, power has no sex.

Katharine Graham

We used it as motivation. We just said it was the same rims, the same gym. It was odd at first when we came out. Once the ball is tipped, it's the same court.

Chris Braier

The wind set it off once. And we sprinted over there. But there was no fish.

Adam Zuleger

No one ever expects to be the lead story on the nightly news. Once you have that kind of horror fall upon you, you never see life the same again.

Doryce Norwood

It gave me an opportunity to see what was going on with recruiting. Once he came through and let everybody know that Marlboro was there, I just came back and did what I had to do.

Casaan Breeden

We won a game once and we ran 18. We lost a game against Saint Pete Catholic and we ran two.

Mick Koczersut

I'm just deeply disappointed that once again we may have to settle for the lesser of two evils.

Howard Dean

They're throwing the ball away once we get there.

Thomas Carroll

You wait years for a win and then two come along at once.

David Knox

I'm going to be pretty pumped up, but not too much to where I get myself out of sync. I'll calm down once I get in there.

Derrick Blaylock

Mike can make so many people miss after the catch that sometimes he's thinking about what he's going to do once he makes the catch.

Jeremy Winn

This film disturbs me. I already saw it once. I watched it live.

Neil Miller

Here it's so beautiful, and I'm here with my baby sister and once again we're a family.

Charliene Guidry

Once we determine the benchmarks, we're going to come in with a full insulation package, attic, walls, and some work in the basement.

Bill Angell

I don t actually believe that stones turn into fairies, but I did once meet someone who had seen a fairy and heard a knocker.

David Lloyd George

They prepared us for it. The people in the cockpit were very calm, cool and collected. They said smoke was there but they didn't see any when they landed, so I think they got most of it out. But, we were better once we landed, all of the nerves were a little more at ease.

Jerry Jackson

Once we got the lead to four, I felt confident. Even if they came back and tied, I felt like we'd be able to hit (the ball) and get the lead back.

Andy Podmolik

Once you get into the tournament, anything can happen. We proved that last year.

Niall O'donnell

The market is going to catch on once people realize the value of these tax advantaged programs.

Joseph Hurley

It was a lot more real than I had thought. We were just dropped into the Guatemalan jungle with no food or water. You do forget about the cameras once you're out there, and it becomes a game where there are 17 others out there with you.

Rafe Judkins

Once we got down (to Florida), the $5 was a minor issue compared to other things.

Doug Bradley

I was ready for it. Once I got up there, I saw the first pitch good and I was like, 'This is the one, right here,' and that's it. I felt it right off the bat that it was going to go out.

Diego Rios

It was a great opener. Once we got over our jitters, we settled down and played our game.

Dawn Day

Once you have an animal, you have to commit to it. They need a sense of freedom, but, of course, they must have some boundaries. I am against hitting them though; just send the vibe and that will do it.

Connie Stevens

You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.

Dave Barry

I had so much confidence in Kevin, and he is such a competitor once he steps on that field. If he'd had 190 pitches, he wouldn't have come out of the game because he was determined to get it. He held them at bay for a long time.

Jerry Tischler

If he was contacted more than once, we apologize.

John Wolf

Getting stops. That's the thing. Talk on defense. Get each other's backs. Once we get that, we can go on a five-game win streak.

Danny Fortson

I tried to deport him once because he's Canadian.

Tom Johnston

Both whales were pretty good at it. They caught a sea gull once every 20 days or so.

Michael Noonan

Once people understand them, they like them.

Dean Zuleger

Once we leave, we will never go back there.

Luke Serpa

Once that buzzer went off I was real happy. A little bit shaky but we're getting down to the Garden and that's all that matters. We knew they were going to throw everything at us and they did.

Ben Bishop

It's been awhile. And once you taste it, I think, you want to get back to it because it's a great feeling.

Tom Nalen

You have to have men visible to make men feel accepted. Men, once they get here, do feel supported by faculty and more importantly by their peers.

Phil Julian

It's a lot easier to eat three meals a day for one week, than it is to eat all your meals at once.

Joanne Lewis

What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness? Let them be left. O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

People started buying bonds because the Bank of Japan may not be as hawkish as expected. The BOJ will probably raise rates once by the end of December.

Nobuo Tamamizu

How beautiful is death, when earn'd by virtue! Who would not be that youth? What pity is it That we can die but once to serve our country!

Joseph Addison

Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

That one was tough on us. Once that pitch gets executed, you hope to have the chance for a big play. But it didn't and it got us in a big hole.

Frank Solich

Julie is a very solid player. Once she gets around the goal, she knows what to do with the ball.

Paul Platte

Once you get up by that much, you start throwing some extra stuff in to work on.

Micheal Morris

Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.

Henri Cartier bresson

I really focused on my game. In Korea, in all the times, every since the last one, anytime I'm in the last group, I won it except once.

K.j. Choi

You can't ask for better free throw shooting than that. We actually had a decent free throw game for once.

Nate Hammond

Coach always tries to push you more than your body can handle. He's going to try and make your body go to the max. And once you tire out, he's going to put a fresh body out there.

Darius Washington Jr

Once more they showed how clever they are.

Robert Taylor

Sometimes (the exposure) was more than once a day. They would come out of the fields covered. Their clothes would be green with pesticides. Their throats would be dry. They would be coughing. They were suffering from skin ailments.

Andrew Yaffa

I guess we weren't as mentally prepared as we usually are. We didn't' come out excited. But once that spark came, everything came together.

Michelle Parker

I thought he was going to pass it. Once he got by one man, I knew he was going to go all the way and put it down.

Jerard Ajami

I know that he thought, 'I'm gonna beat this again. I can do it. I did it once.' He really, really fought hard.

Bree Bumatai

Once I read the script, I felt I had to do it.

Marc Shaiman

We were nervous for the first four or five minutes of the game, but once we got our composure, we were fine.

Dave Wallace

Once you hit your first couple of shots and start feeling good, then it seems everything falls. I think the early success builds up to the later success.

Janese Banks

I feel this thing will go down to the last day. But once we start worrying about Oklahoma, that's when this thing goes down for me. . . . We have to win every game.

Dean Treanor

While it may take generations of nurturing, nations founded on and grounded in freedom will eventually overcome and prosper. Once free, folks rarely accept anything less, and that includes Iraqis.

Trent Lott

I felt they wouldn't have answers for us inside. Once (McGivney and Ervin) got in foul trouble we had to slow it down a bit.

Doug Sautter

Not starting wouldn't be a disappointment, because I know once I get a chance to get in there, I'm going to make the best of it. It doesn't take as many plays as you might think to have an impact.

Devin Hester

That's pretty consistent. For the whole year, we haven't gone a match where two of them have lost. The most we ever had was one of them lost once. They're all working harder.

Tim Hares

She has the strength of a trooper. She has never complained once. She has never cried about being in a wheelchair, not once, not once.

Tonya David

It accomplishes many things at once, including bringing fees more in line with other big cities. That helps us make sure we're competitive with other cities.

Vincent Morris

Never regret something that once made you smile.

Amber Deckers

I think until there's a visual connection the impact isn't really the same. Once you have that visual impact you'll never forget.

Robert Siegel

It's fun once you start playing. The skill is getting it on a number and being able to keep it there.

Myron Martin

He's done well; he's been in the district for more than 30 years. He's retired once, and we hired him back.

Brad Horton

Once I made hitters chase the curveball it started settling in for me a little more.

Michael Hyde

They gained control from the start and we were never able to run up and down. Once they gained control, they never let it go.

Tricia Martin

Once he made those buckets, that kind of gave them momentum and energy. Their team was kind of fired up after that.

Mario West

I never believed that it would be possible, but you have this chance once in a lifetime.

Gosia Sobala

It jars you out of bed once they start hauling. Once they start hauling, it is amazing how many trucks go down there. It is a constant stream. It gets a little crazy.

Richard Edge

We've been working hard in practice on going hard in both halves. Once we get that together, we're going to be a hard team to beat.

Brad Byerson

Ford postponing the event would be their judgment that market conditions are becoming disorderly. (Ford is) betting that conditions will improve once upcoming uncertainties are out of the way, one of which is the FOMC meeting.

William Sullivan

The man who has received a benefit ought always to remember it, but he who has granted it ought to forget the fact at once.

Demosthenes

Once you get past TV sports advertising, fantasy sports is one of the highest-generating revenue aspects of sports.

Jeff Marshall

It's all in the decisions you make. Once you realize that, you can become happy.

James Holzier

In the highest civilization, the book is still the highest delight. He who has once known its satisfactions is provided with a resource against calamity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

People were once afraid to go downtown, ... People are everywhere now with lights, music and art.

Bill Morgan

I was once ask if a big business man ever reached his objective. I replied that if a man ever reached his objective he was not a big business man.

Charles M. Schwab

Caulk is cheap and once you do it you may not have to replace it for years.

Keith Swilley

Once there's equity in the workplace, the law will become redundant.

Membathisi Mdladlana

In concept, what we are looking to do is, once the land trust gets rolling, we'll go out and look for areas where we can get the money to buy additional lots.

Dave Powell

We feel comfortable and have more freedom once we have runners on with the plays we can run. If we get a couple runs it's a little more assuring knowing that he's up there competing and we have faith he's going to get the job done.

Colin Curtis

That was a good change for once. Playing in the Big East everybody was bigger than us, in mass and in height, so this was pretty different and we took advantage of the opportunity.

Terrance Farley

It's always good to have things that happen only once every 55 years. I didn't even realize I hit two triples in one inning, till somebody said it to me after the game. I had no idea. It just didn't even occur to me.

Cory Sullivan

They were fine when they were projecting through 2010, but once you get beyond that, which is where they are now, the out years are terrible.

Stanley E. Collender

There's no specific reason. It's just really overall. The payments to consultants, the drilling -- once we got into it, things ended up costing more than initially expected.

Jeff Holyfield

This is a once-in-a-career opportunity right now.

Mark Streit

The market's starting to look further ahead. There seems to be the sentiment that the economy will cool and the Fed (once it hikes interest rates later this month) will be done.

Josh Stiles

Ours was a marriage, a love affair -- the land would nurture us, and we would honor the land. But the land was too rich and too good. The powerful and greedy invaders saw this at once.

Miriam Makeba

I loved coming back again. There's an energy here and a feeling of interest. The students definitely were into the music once we got going. I liked that.

Dr. Richard Johnson

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me, ... I don't think people are going to fall for that one again.

Lorne Calvert

I'm hoping once they get (another) year of experience under their belt that we're able to win a few of these tournaments.

Pat Cappola

Once they see this, it will begin to get agencies and clients together in a way they've never gotten together before.

Larry Fischer

He's starting to show up more and more in the right place. He's highly competitive. And once he gets comfortable with it, he's going to be a hell of a player.

Charley Armey

It'll be nice going into a game as the underdog for once.

Julie Matheny

With the new 2007 Camry, Toyota once again raised the bar with the family sedan.

Don Esmond

We once did one using buses and the Metro bus schedule.

Mike Schuh

You should spend no time whatsoever wondering if those funds are good for you, once you're confident your employer has done the proper due diligence.

Wayne Bogosian
