It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason.

Chris Page

I loved playing there. I bleed the blue. From a coaching standpoint having to play the No. 2 ranked team on the road is a daunting task. ... I'm excited about the opportunity. I tell these guys all the time these are great opportunities for Stony Brook.

Steve Pikiell

It was a big statement, ... That's what we try to do all the time. I was telling some of the guys, 'We are a blue-collar city. We are a blue-collar defense.'

Terrence Holt

I admire him for his work, but I know he's going to lose. I guarantee he's not going to win. But it's like I tell everybody: You Puerto Ricans, you got to vote for your own kind no matter what.

H. L. Mencken

The key to non-anxious sermon-writing is that it's not about me. It's about the congregation. I honor the fact that the listeners bring more to the sermon than I do. I remind myself of the hundreds of times someone says, 'I loved how you said…' and then tell me things that they heard that were nowhere in my text and that I never said. But they heard what they needed to hear.

Reverend Sean Parker Dennison

I could tell today that everybody was up because Hines Ward, he's back. The tempo of the practice today was great.

But I'll tell you this -- there's no way we could be out there racing at those speeds. It was neat to be out there running that fast by myself, but it would be insane to think we could have a pack of cars out there doing that.

I knew she would be fine. We just tried to tell her to have fun. She played great.

Hilary Witt

Karrine Steffans

For me, the best time of the year is the start of the second semester. They sit in the mess desk and catch up with one another. They have amazing stories to tell.

Jim Short

There's not a lot of selling pressure in the market. Having sat here and watched and traded, you could tell something has changed. It's a bit of a reprieve. I think the market has to prove itself ... but this rally feels a little bit different. It feels a little bit better.

David Briggs

I want to know, ... if you believe what the broadcasts from home tell you. We listen to them. They get finished playing a big military number, they report that your guys are bravely holding the line 'with heroic efforts.' You believe that's true?

Jack Lynch

I'd like to have it. I know it doesn't mean much but it's nice to tell recruits.

Last year, we had a lot of (arena) veterans and I pretty much knew who I was going to cut going into camp. This year, I don't know. I can't tell you who will be released. I was going down the list today and I don't know who's going to make it and who's not.

Dennis Jones

This team exceeded my expectations of what I thought we'd be able to do this year. Tonight we didn't shoot the ball with confidence, and we didn't take care of some of the most basic things you need to take care of in playoff basketball. That's what happens with youth. You could tell that we'd never been this close before.

Dirk Hanson

Williams gets ignored because you can't tell his story without messing up the mainstream story.

Jessica Sanders

Yes, I have an idea, and no I don't think I can tell you.

Chuck Reed

When you watch Ohio State you realize they're so fundamentally sound and well-coached. You have guys that compete for 60 minutes so when you talk to your guys you tell them that they have to compete for 60 minutes and finish every play because that's what they're going to do.

Mike Haywood

I tell new people who come into the neighborhood that I wouldn't play in the creek.

Jim Ward

We were very lucky that a lot of freshmen have had good years and Lisa is certainly one of them. Across the board, coaches' kids usually get it a little bit better than other kids, and Lisa is a very intelligent young lady. That is huge, because when you tell her something she actually understands it.

Pam Stone

And I had in mind more or less what we then did in the following 20 years. But the family was telling me, listen we are growing nicely, why should we take more risks.

It's a great way to tell a story.

Dick Cook

I don't think we've ever had a situation like this before, but he'll tell us when he's good and ready.

Justin Zwick

One thing the riots have shown is that these kids are desperate for attention. We're trying to tell them that you matter most when you vote, that's when politicians have to start listening to you.

Samir Mihi

They put a lot of pressure on you when you're from Pittsburgh, telling me everyone from Pittsburgh makes the final four. I told them I'd make the final four.

Rafe Judkins

What this seems to tell us is, whatever the conditions were that allowed for a good recruitment index last year are persisting this year.

Lynn Fegley

I didn't have to tell nobody to be quiet. Everybody was sitting in his own seat. There wasn't a word. There wasn't a headphone set on. I had to look to see if they were nervous or if they were ready to play. I looked at their faces, and they looked like they were ready to play.

Sonny Schofield

It's very harmful, from the point of view of citizens' rights, to dash their expectations and delude them; the talks on waiting for what has been promised for 13 years are harmful. Let's stop at the opportunities which are available today, and honestly tell people about it.

Dmitry Kozak

I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. And as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something you have to define for yourself.

Meredith Grey

We just send them a letter and answer their questions. Because I don't have a history of making false and inflated campaign promises, when I tell a voter something will happen, they put a lot of weight into it.

Nick Pacheco

It appears that due to the sound and the noise, (the co-pilot) was unable to understand what the passenger was trying to tell him.

Andrew Black

There is not a Plan B. It's up to the board to tell us what the next steps are.

Jayme Kunz

I mean, things have to fall into place and you have to be very lucky, but I'll tell you, to a man, I don't think there was any doubt that we weren't going to score on the last drive.

Allan Johnson

We have a right to know. They ought to tell us the good, the bad and the ugly.
