Stephen Wright

Greg Norman
We will not do business with him, only with other evangelicals who don't back these comments.
Ido Hartuv
This is a good feeling. A good feeling that we can help other people and we can do it ourselves.

Duane Witter
I'm not going to look at this as being the most critical game of my life, but it's important like the other ones were. Coach knows who I am and what I bring. At the end of the day, if I'm someone that he wants around, then that's what he chooses.

Dan Labbate
It's just the same as every other weekend: I just have to go out there and pitch my game. I don't think they're too much better than last year, but I didn't face them, so we'll see.

Terry Murphy
I'd like to make music for a long time, and all different types of music. Maybe I'll start my own label to get other artists off the ground.
Jamie Cullum
Imparting knowledge is only lighting other men's candles at our lamp without depriving ourselves of any flame.
Jane Porter
This is a lot different then the newspaper business. However as a community helper I feel that this is a calling instead of a job. Other directors including myself don't expect to be glorified for the work we do with Red Cross.
Jeffery Biggs
You would think that there'd be mass chaos with all these dogs that don't know each other on the ride up. But it seemed like they were grateful.
Janet Guethle
It took the pressure off some of the other girls, and they tried to get it to her to score.

It takes two to speak the truth--one to speak and the other to hear.
Henry David Thoreau
It doesn't really make any difference to me if I go out and shoot 64 or 74. Obviously, I'd like to shoot 64 more frequently than 74. There's really no point in me getting annoyed about it. There's other things, more important things going on.
Darren Clarke
The team showed a huge amount of character and heart out there. Maybe they wouldn't have handled it at other times.
Graham Henry
Their keeper was the difference in the game. He stood on his head and did stuff that I haven't seen other keepers do. Even when he was jumping out of the way, the ball seemed to hit him.
Troy Dayak
Real love is the love that sometimes arises after sensual pleasure: if it does, it is immortal; the other kind inevitably goes stale, for it lies in mere fantasy.
Giacomo Casanova
Clearly, we need a more efficient needs shelter for Jackson County. We as a hospital system will work closely with the Red Cross and other appropriate entities to help improve these conditions.
Richard Lucas
They are athletic and they like to run the option, but they have a lot of other weapons. On defense, they do a lot of stunting. They are fast and they are quick.
A.j. Massengale
Life goes on. I have to worry about other things. If that's what they think is best, there's nothing I can do about it.
Craig Frederick
We've been through a lot. We've all become more complete players. We've learned to really trust each other and depend on each other.
Jayme Wilson

Seth Kilbourn
They tried to throw it a little more once he got in there. Other than that, it was the same kind of outfit.
Keion Carpenter
I think it's very important to elevate that commission to a higher standard and to have it be able to work with all facets of government. If it's put into a department, there won't be the buy-in of the other areas of government.
Sen. Lee Constantine
I missed two really good opportunities before that one. It was good, but it wasn't my goal. It was the team's goal. They were so focused on getting me one. I had no other choice. Kate could have scored it, but she passed it to me.
Morgan Wallace
If he gets off, it will be a huge moral victory ... not just for him, but for all the other groups pushing a hard-line agenda. The ripple effect will be tremendous.
Ken Conboy
We think it's important for the constituency we serve, ... We want to be compared to other professional agencies in the nation.
Jeff Dawsy
Men and women chasing each other is what makes the human race.
Mark Beltaire
The first time I heard his name, I stopped listening to all the things about the other candidates.
Derrick Roberts
Every game he pitches, it's like the World Series for the other team. For some of them, it could be the height of their baseball career facing a guy like that.
Sean Linville
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
