Melinda Hyder
We know we will have to be a little better if we want to beat teams like Mount Pleasant and Lansing Catholic.

It was a pleasant round of golf.
Tom Lehman
The auction is casual and you could have been in the garden all day, at baseball or soccer, come home and come on over. It's just a pleasant spring evening overlooking the pond.

Do pleasant things yourself, but unpleasant things through others.
Baltasar Gracian
He was pleasant surprise. Early on with not a lot of guys with experience, Ramses really had some good games and I think that is why we got off to a good start.
Ray Garcia
Steve's been an extremely pleasant surprise to me. He's been fantastic. He changes speeds and explodes out of the block. He's just got a great knack for the game.
Steve Sarkisian
It was a pleasant surprise, but we were expecting to play Wheeler. Wheeler's been dominant for so long that's the team you expect to be here.
Bob Wojnaroski
The course was a pleasant surprise. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be so good.
Steve Hatridge
I hate to keep saying it, but we have to get that fifth man down a bit. Mount Pleasant is a good team, and this was a good testament to needing balance. We'll get better as the season goes along.
Roger Mchone
The essence of all jokes, of all comedy, seems to be an honest or well intended halfness; a non performance of that which is pretended to be performed, at the same time that one is giving loud pledges of performance. The balking of the intellect, is comedy and it announces itself in the pleasant spasms we call laughter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's just a slower pace, ... You don't beep horns at lights. It's pleasant living.
Diane Clark
We're concerned about the very heavy rainfall over most of Florida. We're looking at three or four days of heavy rain down here, accumulations of up to 20 inches. It's not going to be a pleasant time.
Jerry Jarrell
A change always gives you an extra injection of energy and this is our first move after working seven years for Peugeot. It was a bit sad to leave the team where we have had everything in our career. We have a load of nostalgic memories from the past years. Now we face the pleasant challenge of learning the way our new team is working and to get to know all the people involved.
Marcus Gronholm
(Randy) knows it starts with his offensive line. He made great calls thanks to the line. Mt. Pleasant started blitzing and they were able to pick it up and let Randy make plays.
Pete Rostosky
This course will be a pleasant surprise to everyone.
Mike Parks
We went down there to help out. It was a lot like New Orleans is now. I just remember the bayous being flooded over. There were some bodies. It wasn't pleasant. But we did what we had to do. You didn't think about it. We were down there to see how we could help.
Phil Harding
Being the only qualifier from River Valley hurts a little bit. But it helps being with the Pleasant wrestlers. We all have the same goals.
Clayton Wetzel
It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity.
Nastassja Kinski
I really expected us to be good at the end of the year. I knew we had talent and that we would be competitive in February. But we've played well early which is a pleasant surprise.
Vic Rimmer
For a while I thought the one run was going to be enough. The Mount Pleasant pitcher did a good job and I knew she would. But Kelsey was up to the task just like she's been all season.
Robbie Hatfield
We would talk on the phone at night. We talked about everything, but our family life was really important. She was such a pleasant person. She was an outstanding woman.

It's not a pleasant thing, to see a young person's life snuffed out. Driving the van, I see a lot of people - a lot of people that I know sometimes - and you realize how many different families this affects.
Skip Mcdonald
There's a pleasant peanut butter aroma.
Kate Jansen
Anthony's been a very pleasant surprise, ... And his ability to score gives us another offensive option, which is nice.
David Brewer
From what I saw over the weekend, Mount Pleasant has to be considered the team to beat this weekend. Mount Pleasant is solid from top to bottom. They are the most balanced of any team in the tournament.

It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.

Muhammad Ali
Say what you will about the Ten Commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them.

It is a nice buttery, flaky fish that is so pleasant to eat. It requires a delicate cooking method. It can hold up with a lot of flavors and combinations with ingredients. My favorite is with citrus and this will be great when we introduce it this spring at DC Coast for the first time.
James Clarke
I've known Jerry a long time, and he isn't a guy who sits back, or tries to 'get along' with everybody. He's a pleasant enough fellow, but if he's unhappy about something he's going to blurt it out.
Gerald Meyers
We are looking forward to the playoff game with Mount Pleasant. They are a good offensive team. Our defenders must maintain concentration and composure throughout the game in order to stop their attacks.
Alexandre Louzada
Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.
Spike Milligan
(Friday) has been a pleasant day all around.
Tyler Walker
A good scream is when you can order dinner afterwards, or call your mom. A good scream is one that has a lot of overtone, meaning that it has a lot of highs and lows in it. It has a spectrum of frequencies that is actually pleasant to listen to. Well, that's all relative.
Melissa Cross
We beat a good baseball team tonight. Pleasant Grove is a very scrappy bunch.
Rick Fowler
If someone had been holding the line on keeping houses intact, Pleasant Hill would be viewed as a gem. You'd have a whole different set of people living here.
Howard Scott
It's not worth worrying about. It wasn't pleasant, but both Martin and I are past it. We plan to have a wine-soaked dinner in the near future.
Lloyd Grove
This is a confidence-boosting measure and comes as a pleasant surprise. We had expected the issue to be covered in the recent federal budget.

You can read somebody's attitude - it's either a pleasant attitude or it's a negative one and you can spot that in their body language, their eye contact and the way they march in, ... Business Unusual.
Camille Lavington
James just pitched very well, he did an excellent job despite hurting himself twice during the game. We did hit well today and that was certainly a pleasant thing as well.
Denny Leathers
That's just good defense on our part. We knew Mount Pleasant could be explosive because they had been beating teams a lot of different ways.
Brock Blassingame
But the locations are very pleasant.
Piao Zun Xi
No other people have a government more worthy of their respect and love or a land so magnificent in extent, so pleasant to look upon, and so full of generous suggestion to enterprise and labor.

Dr Peter Phillips
We've had a pleasant time here, but I don't think we can survive here much longer like this.

We're delighted. This is the first time in four years we had mostly pleasant weather to work with. When you have an outdoor event, you have to give a lot of credit to that.
John Picano
Mount Pleasant has a solid team from top to bottom. They have the most solid lineup of any team in the WPIAL.
Chuck Tursky
I don't even judge him on that. Everything else I remember was pleasant. That's not the Kendall I remember. If he needed something, I would give it to him. He's my brother-in-law - he always will be.
Cheryl Smith
I many no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather response to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.
Jim Elliot
It is possible to improve memory at any age. It's work, but it's pleasant work.
Sandra Cusack
To say that a crime was committed in Seat Pleasant when it occurred somewhere else is a crime within itself, ... It slanders our good name as a city of excellence.
W. Lee Grant
It was designed with the thought of making everything pleasant for the patient, ... We want all of them to be as comfortable as possible.

He was a little slow yesterday. In another day or two, when he finds his sea legs, he's going to find walking to be a more pleasant experience than he has in the last 10 to 15 years.
Fred Harris
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Isaac Asimov
It's an unfortunate incident. It is not our preference or choice to not be open every minute. But as managers, we have to make decisions that may not be necessarily the most pleasant for all the parties involved.
Mike Fischer
Enjoy things which are pleasant; that is not the evil: it is the reducing of our moral self to slavery by them that is.
Thomas Carlyle
We must live for the few who know and appreciate us, who judge and absolve us, and for whom we have the same affection and indulgence. The rest I look upon as a mere crowd, lively or sad, loyal or corrupt, from whom there is nothing to be expected but fleeting emotions, either pleasant or unpleasant, which leave no trace behind them.
Sarah Bernhardt
It was a pleasant surprise. I like it.

Indian Proverb
We haven't wrestled well in this gym all season, but we did today. Danny had a great day. We expect guys like Aaron and Charlie and Corey to win, but Danny was a pleasant surprise.
Bob Greenly
Our running backs were a pleasant surprise tonight. We like to get behind our big ol' boys up front, and they blocked pretty good tonight.
Richard Oliver
We must learn to understand humanity better so that we can create an environment that is more beneficial to people, more rewarding, more pleasant to experience.
John Portman
It was kind of surprising -- a pleasant surprise -- to see him on the field after the game. He doesn't seek the public limelight.
Steve Leahy
It was a very pleasant surprise but I also knew how much she had been working. She started to totally focus on her badminton game, and she's been on a mission ever since.
Jeff Bryant
Ever since Mt. Pleasant beat us, we've been playing very, very well. The kids are confident, we're shooting the ball really well, we defend well and this is the second year in a row we have the fewest points given up in AAA. That's something we hang our hat on, and we're going to defend you.
Paul Sapotichne
Having a kit at the minimum will make life more pleasant.
Michael Morton
The praise of those who sleep in earth,The pleasant memory of their worth,The hope to meet when life is past,Shall heal the tortured mind at last.

It's a very good committee - very pleasant, and the questions they've asked are extraordinarily reasonable. I feel very good about things.
Usm President Shelby Thames
I'd just hate for someone to think these are pleasant conditions.
Michael Minns
This is a very pleasant surprise. We didn't expect to win this relay.
Frank Busch
This isn't a pleasant place for either of these companies to be.
Charles Disanza
The past always looks better than it was; it's only pleasant because it isn't here.
Finley Peter Dunne
I knew that he had great numbers in college. Still, it's a tough assessment when you look at those numbers and then project what players will do when they get to this level. Jesse has been nothing but a pleasant surprise for us. Particularly, he's been driving the net for us, which we hadn't had.
Jamie Black
It's something out of a movie, ... It's so pleasant.
Christian Furchtegott Gellert
It may be sooner, but we're trying to be a little cautious. It's definitely not pleasant to shut down the elevators in Building 5, but the plan is moving forward.
Diane Holley
I was still pleased with our guys. Mount Pleasant comes in with an intensity our guys don't normally see. We played hard despite the score and we learned a lot tonight.
Gabe Mcdonald
I learned a lot looking at things happening there ... wasn't too pleasant.
Wilson Pickett
Feedback is a pleasant thing. I get a lot of letters from unexpected people in unexpected places.
Brian W. Aldiss
I think it's going to be a strong team. I will probably have some headaches deciding who to start, which is a pleasant headache to have.
Bodo Fritzen
It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Down below the climate is always pleasant. That's why people fall in love with the depths.
Ignacio Moreno
It's not a pleasant situation for Cristiano but he's not worried.
Carlos Queiroz
It's a much cleaner atmosphere. It's much better for children. We're a family restaurant. We want to encourage that for our clientele. It's just better for workers. It's a lot more pleasant, to be honest.
Lance Skidmore
(She was) very pleasant, had a lot of friends, and just a child you look forward to seeing every day when you come to school.
Jeff Conroy
Tiffany is a pleasant surprise. She is our vocal leader, keeps us pumped up and is hitting the ball a lot better.
Dave Rohrer
I knew we were doing well, but this is a pleasant surprise. Brevard County has always been business-driven, but we don't want to rest on those laurels.
Lynda Weatherman
I discovered, as a child, that spending time in Nazi-Germany as a Jew was not recreational. I also found that getting beat up in German schools was not pleasant.
Gerhard Weinberg
It's always nice to have at least 12 in volleyball because it makes for better practices. I prefer to have 13 or 14 just in case something happens during the year, but it's been pleasant for us to have her with us.
Verl Petsch
It hasn't been a very pleasant few months at Real, but a lot of things have happened at the club that have contributed to that and now I'm very happy.
Fernando Morientes
The pleasant surprise was how our defensive line played. One question I had coming out of preseason practice was how we would play defensively.
Terry Borr
The rebounding was huge for us. The guys were working hard down low and they were playing some good defense. We really made it tough on Mt. Pleasant offensively.
Tony Sweet
We entered her in the 800 but we didn't have anyone in the mile and she stepped up and said she's run it. She came in second. It was a pleasant surprise.
Jenna Bond
How pleasant it is to have money, heigh-ho! / How pleasant it is to have money.
Arthur Hugh Clough
We definitely need good pitching and good defense, but we can't leave men on base. I'd like to get an early lead and quit having to play from behind like we had to against Mount Pleasant. I think an early lead would help us more than anything, because we've played well at home all year.
Scott Scudder
Since it has been Miller's, it's the same good selection and the employees are still very helpful and pleasant.
Patrick Miller
It's been a pleasant surprise. We only lost one senior, and our pitching has been solid.
Brandon Miller
For it stirs the blood in an old man's heart,And makes his pulses fly,To catch the thrill of a happy voiceAnd the light of a pleasant eye.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
The employment growth was slightly higher than anticipated, so it's a slight pleasant surprise.
Stephen Halmarick
He had a pleasant personality, was a very good kid, and was a very good athlete. You didn't have to go over things but one time for him to understand.
Bob Warren
I have to say this is not pleasant but, for the moment, it only involves Lance Armstrong and France.
Hein Verbruggen
Vibrations are cheap, they are very personal and they are pleasant compared to sounds. They automatically grab your attention, and they are implicitly directional. If you feel something from your belly you feel it is out there in front, if you feel it in your back you know you should look behind.
Charles Spencer
Overall, it was a good meet for us. Iowa City West was strong everywhere, and Mount Pleasant is also very good, and the competition was just what we needed. Most of our kids responded well to the toughness of the meet.
Ron Hunerdosse
There are people who say it smells like popcorn, or French fries or doughnuts. But to me it is just a pleasant tang.
Shaun Stenshol
It would be a pleasant surprise if he could play next year.
Steve Mullins
We never reflect how pleasant it is to ask for nothing.

Dr. Joyce Brothers
We're not expected to break any records, but it'll be a pleasant winter weekend.
Scott Kelly
Homicides are never pleasant. As you become a seasoned officer, though, you become less personal about it. You start seeing it as more scientific.
Dallas Hedrick
We wrestled well. It was a tough tournament, like it always is. Mt. Pleasant has a good balanced team and placed a lot of good guys.
Chuck Tursky
That's been actually a pleasant surprise for us this spring. Those guys have done a nice job for us competing.
Jeff Choate
There are lots of people who want to learn here, and for a player like me, it's quite pleasant because everyone asks my opinion and watches me and listens.
Youri Djorkaeff
Memories: (A) Very Pleasant; (B) Rather Sad.
Charles Ives
It was quite pleasant to sit back in the end after 50 minutes of frustrating football.
Ricky Stuart
We are really excited about what might be the biggest football game in Kelly/Shorts history. With new lights, on a national television stage - what an opportunity to showcase Central Michigan University and the Mt. Pleasant community.
Dave Heeke
I do not think that the effect of good environment, of fine buildings, of pleasant homes, upon the character, temperament, will, disposition, and energy of the people sufficiently dawns upon the average citizen.
Thomas Adams
It's pleasant, but it's not pleasant at the same time. I'm going to have a target on me.
Jared Rohatinsky
That's good for us because we don't normally do that. It was a pleasant surprise for us to come out and be so aggressive because we haven't done that in a long time.
Traci Brooks
The earnings for the banking industry have generally been pretty good, ... We've had more pleasant surprises than we expected -- we anticipated a relatively dull quarter.
Lawrence Cohn
In the best of all possible worlds, February 14 is a pleasant and sentimental opportunity to lavish your partner with attention or move your relationship to the next level.
Pepper Schwartz
We can't guard (Pleasant leading scorer) Brad Martin on the block and they've got a couple of good shooters, so we could not allow them to get the ball to the quarter court. We got into passing lanes and we got deflections.
Don Worstell
I looked at a lot of places, but I liked this one. It's a small community, everybody knows each other and everybody is very pleasant. It's nice to have that family atmosphere. I did my training at UT and UT is huge and you know most people, but it doesn't feel like a family.
Dr. Samar Alsharif
I've been doing this kind of work for over fifty years now, and nothing in this strange and frightening world seems more pleasant to me.
M.c. Escher
I call it the Larry Bird factor. It's when you see things three or four seconds before they happen, and Christian has that. If he doesn't make that play (against Pleasant Hill), we're not here.
