Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

Matt Groening

How could you?! Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain Whatshisname? We live in a society of laws! Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Makes sound effects and laughs. Where was I? Oh yeah! Stay out of my booze.

Matt Groening

Dan Diamond

He took me on some college visits before he left, and he told me he wants me to do what I want to do.

Ronnie Hernandez

We real took control of the game at that point.

Andy D'alessio

The first three or four possessions were bad; we took some bad shots and turned the ball over. They made a run on us and we just couldn't recover. We lacked some offensive intensity, or guidance, or whatever you want to call it. We got in a hole in the third quarter, and that hurt us.

Brent Brede

It's an exaggeration to say they took Neon guts and built a truck over it, but took a lot of things in that platform and modified it.

Rod Lache

His father, Vincent, took him to La Coupole in Paris and, after sitting on the terrace for a while, walked off and forgot him. It was the perfect start in life for a writer.

Donnie Cheatham

They just took care of the ball when Warren turned the heat up with the pressure.

Joshua Feinman

[Actress Claudette Colbert appeared in her last film role in] Parrish, ... I'm a mature woman but I can't suddenly put on gray hair and play character roles and most mother parts are too 'Pollyannaish' for me. I took this one because I felt it had a point of view. The mother wants to break the silver cord and lead a normal sex life of her own.

Claudette Colbert

It took the pressure off some of the other girls, and they tried to get it to her to score.

Mark Cross

The last time we played them, we got down early and then slowed down on both ends of the floor. But we were able to stay aggressive on defense tonight even though it took a while for the offense to get going.

Fred Febach

I felt very confident and we threw a couple more guys out there and they turned things back around and more players came in and took it even farther.

John Pelphrey

I told Thad the Lord is good because, think about it, he took Cameron to heaven but he didn't leave you childless. On the very same day, he gave you another son. It wasn't a girl. He gave you another son.

Jackie Markray

Todd Graves

It feels like someone took your dog out right in front of you and shot it. And then you've got to go and bury it.

Bobby Carpenter

Nikki was on her game. She really took control of that mound. She was hitting every single pitch we called and (catcher) Brittany Johnston kept her calm. I'm so proud of what she did and so proud of what we did.

Toni Willis

It took 30 years for it (the Legislature) to pass something as simple as protecting people on the basis of sexual orientation. On one hand, the Illinois General Assembly should be commended for recognizing all Illinoisans should be treated the same. But on the other hand, what the hell took so long?

Rick Garcia

We set the tone right away and took the energy out them early.

Tony Bina

I took nothing from my house, ... I've got my purse, and it had some of my important papers, but when I looked inside, it was all wet. It smells like a hurricane smells. I'm just going to throw it away.

Lorraine Brown

I knew we were in for a dogfight from the beginning. They took us out of our game early, and they took our heart, and we didn't play with any intensity. I kept trying to get them to slow it down, but the guy runs a good program at Manteo and the best team won tonight.

Andre Midgett

After last game, we needed to get Jazz more into our offense today. She was 12-for-12 from the floor last game and this one she only took seven shots. But our entire offense couldn't do anything against Rutgers. They shut us down.

Tom Collen

I didn't think they would be that quick. They just took off.

James Humphrey

Carson's a pretty good team, ... They're a lot different than Hug is. Hug is so big; Carson flies around pretty good and they're very active on defense. It took a while to get adjusted to that, but the kids came back and gave a great effort. This was a great win for us.

Paul Mills

He pretty much ruined my name. I no longer have a business. He took me right down with him.

Jason Snyder

He (O'Quinn) was waving a towel or shirt over his head so we circled around and I tried to get a hand signal from him. He just kept waving the towel so I talked to him on the PA and then took GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) coordinates for the location.

Marty Kydland

Other writers, producers, and directors of low-budget films would often put down the film they were making, saying it was just something to make money with. I never felt that. If I took the assignment, I'd give it my best shot.

Roger Corman

It was an instinct to put the world in order that powered her mending split infinitives and snipping off dangling participles, smoothing away the knots and bumps until the prose before her took on a sheen, like perfect caramel.

David Leavitt

They (the veterinarians) were quite satisfied that the hunt was very humane and that there was a 98 per cent likelihood that all seals that were skinned were in fact dead before the activity took place.

Frank Ring

Version 3 came out in late December and we've already upgraded the bulk of our clients. Every single one took less than a day to implement.

Roger Strain

I saw it climbing up in the air. It was making a steep climb that you usually don't see aircraft do like that. And just as I was wondering why was he making such a steep climb up then the plane sort of flattened out and took a nose dive straight down until it hit the ground.

James King

We had a wild night out with them in Wilmington (North Carolina, where filming took place).

Fionnula Flanagan

Joe Pavelski

We just had to win and our attitude was to do whatever it took to win.

David Nucifora

It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.

Hank Aaron

All three games have been great games. I think we finished real strong. After we cut it to one in the second, we really took over the game. There was a lot of intensity on the bench, and everyone was working hard. I was concerned when we went down 2-0, but we didn't get down, we stayed with it.

Dean Berardo

Things had just happened to me, good things and bad things, and I took them.

Joan Chen

He was our catalyst offensively, and he does a great job of owning his space. He knew the area where he could hurt people the most, and he?s a great passer. He moved the ball around and got everyone else involved. He did whatever it took to win.

Ryan Badour

We put a tie on Sam for the party. He took off that night. He came back three days later wearing a T-shirt. That's how we knew he was going somewhere else and hanging out. We found out he was staying with another group of college kids around the corner.

Coady Haga

It took him a long time to figure out what the problem was. He'd been to see all kinds of people but it was only recently that this was found to be the cause.

Dick Scott

I'm crazy about my father, he's an amazing man, a real adventurer. He took us with him to travel all over the world. We were in places that were so remote, that white people hardly ever reach them.

Peta Wilson

Bakersfield took us out of our offense in the first half. We got down big, but it was big for us to cut it down to single digits. ... The second half was a different game.

Pat Fuscaldo

While Greenspan has very well defined views on inflation targeting and asset price targeting, he took a step back and left them as issues on the table for the next chairman.

Larry Meyer

Most of the styles were captured through associations with hair salons. We also went to a lot of hairdressing competitions. We just set up a booth at the comps and took photos all day for an entire month of weekends.

Simon Young

I was trying to find a combination of guys dedicated to hustling and playing defense. But you expend twice as much energy to catch up, then you're exhausted. We took a couple ill-advised shots at the end.

Tom Thacker

In the second half we played much better defense. We were able to get our transition game going. I thought that (UMD) played a great game, but we took advantage of them not having Dietz.

Lori Ulferts

We just took it to them and got them in foul trouble. We got some big three's from Jacqueline and some big shots from Sara. We just exploded on offense and were patient.

Nikki Tartaglia

They took him away pretty well, but in the first half we took the other things they gave us.

Ray Lauwers

We had our best fourth quarter of the year. We didn't get the bounces for three quarters, but the girls took control in the fourth.

Jeff Thorne

There were a lot of fouls in the second quarter and that kind of took our momentum away.

Richie Meade

We were going forward and took two steps back. We've got to regroup. We're going to watch the tape of the Madison game tomorrow and go back to the drawing board.

Todd Krill

Since Meredith took the reins two years ago, Niagara Falls has seen a series of successes.

Charles Gargano

I think the reason it took us so long (to score) was because the surface we were playing on today. The ball was really skipping a lot because of those puddles.

Kyle Russell

After the Scott County loss, defense completely took over for us. It was all about defense, because defense wins games. Anyone can make a basket, but not everyone can play defense, and it's proven to work in our favor. We showed it again tonight, because it was a war out there.

Tabnie Dozier

When we took over we had maybe 85 officers on duty. It was dangerous. We now have acceptable staffing levels for the number of people we have in the jail.

George Payne

I don't think we brought our 'A' game, but goaltending was a big factor. Jeff was great tonight. He stood on his head to make some of saves. The shots we took, we had to make sure they were goals because we didn't get many good shots.

Bryan Lerg

You do learn from the things that you suffer. I made sure I took it all in. but instead of trying to hide that and put some fluffy fun record together, I went with how I felt.

Chris Cagle

I saw right away that high-school wrestling was a lot more intense. The matches are longer and there is a lot more conditioning needed because you're going against wrestlers that are a lot more experienced. It took a little time to adjust to that.

Adam Schuh

Tom Scully sent an e-mail directing that we not respond to these requests and warning that the consequences of insubordination were extremely severe, ... I took that to mean that if I sent the responses, they would go ahead and fire me.

Patrick Foster

Clearly, high gasoline prices took quite a toll on the typical consumer.

David Huether

It just took the ball out of my hands. It made other people make shots.

Ryan Evanochko

Fashion is like the ashes left behind by the uniquely shaped flames of the fire, the trace alone revealing that a fire actually took place.

Paul De Man

The race was really going our way at the beginning. Marc did an excellent job and brought the car into the pits in second place. We had trouble with my seat insert and we took too long getting me belted in, we gave away a win today. It is nice to leave with the points lead, but we left win on the track.

Andy Lally

That guy took a life that had just begun. Her daddy is not going to walk her down the aisle. She's not going to have babies. She's not going to get married. I mean, it's over for her, and this guy is sitting all cozy in a jail cell eating dinner right now and that's the reality of it.

Linda Chiles

We put him in it, drove a couple blocks and took him out.

Debra Jones

We took a gamble on Johnson and he dogged it. We risked a lot of money to do it, and he didn't come through. But now Sam Peter is in that situation, too. We've got a lot of other good, young fighters. But Sam Peter is our franchise fighter, a guy who can really turn our company around, and this is the single most important fight we've had since Johnson-Ruiz.

Dino Duva

It actually became a creative differential that (Lee) could quantify. He was able to add some weeks to his schedule and go further afield. He took a chance on Alberta despite his reservations, and by the end of the production was saying that it was the most positive production experience of his career.

Tom Cox

Against the good teams, we come out slow most of the time and they kept us from running. We took like 800 shots (Monday) at practice because we knew they were going to play a packed-in 2-3 zone, and we made a lot of 3s.

Major Corley

They play real good defense. It was kind of a contrast from [Saturday] against Proviso East, so it took us awhile to adjust.

Marvin Bembry

I don't suppose Bryant had anything like the physical punishment that Wilt took. Wilt's achievement was a feat of unbelievable endurance. He really had to work to get open, to get those guys off of him. Everybody in the league was tired of him scoring 50 points a game against them. They roughed him up in that game.

Joe Ruklick

I could tell you how many steps he took from the dirt to the grass.

Danny Graves

The end of 2003, we took a second in Huntington Beach (Calif.) and we were pretty consistent after that. We were in the top five, won twice this year; we've always been in the mix, and we've rarely done poorly.

Todd Rogers

We took a step back today, ... Sometimes we play to another team's level. We're not that bad. We had a bad week of practice and it showed on the field.

Aaron Ross

It took a while to adjust, but we've gotten used to her style. We really like it and feel like she's going to build our program and make it stronger.

Cassie Osiecki

It's never satisfying to go 1-3, but with the caliber of teams at this tournament, a record isn't always the best indicator of how we played. We took a big step forward in our play.

Chris Curry

It would have been nice, but we took care of what we needed to take care of.

Malik Allen

I was surprised. It was the first shift for us. We just tried to throw the puck on net and hopefully go for a rebound or cycle the puck. I took the shot and it just kind of went five-hole. I was surprised, but we'll take it.

Ruslan Fedotenko

He took a little extra time looking over that putt because he wanted to make par so bad. We knew it was his last Masters.

Kyle Coody

It seems like this entire season we were under this black cloud of injuries and illnesses. At the beginning of the season we had a lot of depth, and it took a lot of depth to get through this year. But in gymnastics injuries happen. It's just a matter of working through it.

Marci Skeen

The boom broke on the small crane, and the large crane couldn't hold it up. I'm guessing it took 8 to 14 seconds for it to fall.

John Baxley

It was really hard to get back up to speed even in the race - it took me about 20 or 30 laps to get back and get used to everything again.

Antonio Pizzonia

It's a goal that we never really took out of our minds. We definitely think we are an NCAA team, but our record now hasn't been showing it.

Richard Hendrix

I haven't been prouder of a group than this one. Each of them took on a huge burden today to come out and win this, and they did their parts and would have done more if I would have asked them.

Mike Olson

Chicago provided us with a chance to test ourselves against some great young professional players. Our team took advantage of the opportunity and played well.

Brent Erwin

The difference in the first and second half was night and day. We had four veterans out there and most of our guys were playing their first game indoors, we took a while to get adjusted to the speed of the game it was faster than most of our players were used to.

Mike Blackburn

They sure took advantage of the chances they had.

Steve Sertich

When the new driver took over, that driver paid more attention and was strict [about bus conduct].

Sabrina Packard

I got politics and economics moving and then others took over.

Lech Walesa

She basically took me under her wing and looked after me and I've never forgotten that.

Tracey Wickham

Roscommon's ranked in the top four in the state. The Gladstone match took a lot of emotion out of us and we came out flat against Roscommon. They're a solid team.

Tim Hares

My mom and her parents had to leave because her brother had left a couple of years before and the government was really upset. They took away both my grandparents' jobs, so they couldn't make a living. They had to sell all their things. They weren't allowed to take more than $500 out of the country.

Sasha Cohen

We had everything it took this year to get over the hump. We just didn't execute.

Andrew Griffin

Concord really took our running game out.

Shan Hartsough

I think that took a lot out of them. But they hung tough.

Steve Hook

They had opportunities today and took advantage of what they could and I have nothing to be upset about. They played their best match all year.

Nich Schafer

Some of the guys on the team had really rough regional and sectional weekends. We took some tough losses, but overall we have pretty good balance.

Jake Madigan

Because of the threat to their lives, the officers took necessary action and each fired one shot.

Brian Levin

I'm not surprised [WMF] exploited 16-bit code. If you look over the security vulnerabilities, more and more are affecting versions of Windows prior to Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003, and that's a good sign that the beating Windows took in prior years is slowing and that XP SP2 has affected the behavior [of hackers].

Robert Helm

Berlin. What a garrison of spies! what a cabinet full of useless, liquid secrets, what a playground for every alchemist, miracle worker and rat piper that ever took up the cloak.

John Lecarre

He's a really good player, took over the game and there was nothing we could do about it.

Jake Worley

Errors cost us the game today. It wasn't just the fielding, but the mental mistakes we made that took this game from us.

Ann Molski

It took me less than half a lifetime to realize that regret is one of the few guaranteed certainties. Sooner or later everything is touched by it, despite our naive and sensless hope that just this time we will be spared its cold hand on our heart.

Jonathan Carroll

I was rubbing her hand one night and she began wiggling her fingers. My husband and I took turns rubbing her hand to keep her fingers moving.

Marty Matzelle

We won't interchange much since he took third place in the WPIAL. I don't want to push anything more than what he is doing. He is pretty good.

Keith Hart

It took a while to adjust.

Anne Hafeli

Right now, tech stocks are about 20 percent undervalued. While I wouldn't be surprised if some profit-taking took place, we still see a lot of upside.

Robert Straus

I was in a daze the whole second half. Until I looked at the stat sheet, I didn't know what I did. I just tried to do whatever it took to get the job done. We just had to pick it up. We did not want to go home tonight.

Lisa Willis

That took a lot of work.

Maddy Begonia

I thought his rookie year was his most amazing year. For him to master two positions, grow with the speed of the league and to do it from both inside and outside positions and have success was nothing short of amazing. The second year he took the normal progression from year one to year two. That's when the greatest growth occurs, especially for linemen, and he took off.

Brian Baker

It's definitely been a roller coaster. I got pulled to the top of that first hill and it was a great ride down. Unfortunately, the ride took a lot longer to get up on top of the hill again.

Adam Eaton

[Even other sports practicing nearby took notice. Senior Jeff Thompson, who was practicing on the nearby football field while the game was taking place, couldn't help but notice Uhas's performance.] Every time I ran off the field to get a drink, ... the crowd was cheering and his name was being announced.

Jeff Thompson

I had a guess what it might be about, but this took me completely by surprise. And he delivers a play, as he puts it, before he truly knows what it's about. He wants a conversation about what it is that appears to be working, and where it is he appears to be going. Until he's got to that point, nobody knows about it.

Nicholas Hytner

I wouldn't think that the university or any of the agencies involved would regret taking the steps they took.

Rhonda Weldon

The person who answered the message didn't know much. So he said he would give me a call back so what I did was just wait. So we picked up my son, took him to school, grabbed some McDonalds, went home... we watched cartoons and then took a nap. By that time, I was getting worried.

Sheila Porter

This whole hurricane brought on a whole new perspective.... Before this I think we all took so much for granted.

Gregory Rodriguez

The CRTC took two years to make this decision and it was a unanimous five-nothing decision, so I'm still hopeful logic will prevail.

John Bitove

That, I think, is when things really took off, ... More and more people were buying the passes.

Irwin Shaw

We came out and pressured in the fourth quarter pretty well, but it's not the kind of pressure we can sustain for four quarters. I think we finally decided in the fourth quarter that the ball did fit in the basket. It took us a long time to figure that out.

Todd Rogers

What can I say? We just didn't give up. We kept swinging the bats well. It took off a lot of the pressure coming back from down three with two innings left. That was huge for us.

Mike Jeffcoat

We took a lot of good shots early in the game that didn't go and that frustrated us. Hopefully we got that bad offensive game out of the way.

Jim Vaughan

We're thrilled that we have been able to put the incident that took place in 1998 in the past. Atlantis' guests visited the Cayman Islands as tourists, just as any other visitors would.

Rich Campbell

[After a little clarification, the man understood - he had seen ESPO graffiti around town. He was impressed. He didn't buy a coat, but the next day, the guy handing out the fliers was wearing the vinyl hunk again.] They took the raincoat off him, ... for one day.

Steve Powers

In the first 5 minutes and 18 seconds we weren't very good. We haven't played in two weeks. We took a couple of lazy penalties. They moved the puck around pretty well and scored two power-play goals. We kind of settled down after that.

Tim Ceglarski

Restaurants are moving in the direction that consumer packaged goods manufacturers and retailers took some years ago. Continuous measurement and evaluation of marketing channels such as television, radio, internet and print and in-store promotions is either in practice or under consideration at a number of leading restaurant chains.

Joseph Flowers

When my dad was playing in Winnipeg in '72-I was about 8 years old-he took me to my first outdoor rink in the winter. My feet were so cold, and then it gets even more excruciating once they start to thaw. It was the most excruciating pain I've ever had.

Brett Hull

Fascism was a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.

Ignazio Silone

In this game we had a lot of opportunities to get on base. We'd get on with a walk or two, then get a hit and drive guys around. McEwan is a pretty young team and they weren't too deep on the mound. We took advantage of that.

Lindsay Mccargar

We got a fifth year back for him and he took full advantage of it. He had a ton of heart and got his national championship. I just couldn't be happier. That goes along with his sixth-place finish in the long jump which was unexpected. It was just awesome.

Dick Booth

The thing about it now is the games don't count. We've got two weeks to fix the problem. The thing I observed tonight — after the picks, after the bad plays, he was still upbeat, he still took charge in the huddle.

David Patten

[I've been pitching in pain for] close to a month and it was getting worse, ... It affected my velocity. I was trying to pitch through it. I took the medication and it didn't help. I got to the point where I wasn't helping myself or the team. If I can't go out and pitch normally, there's no point in me being out there.

Rheal Cormier

That took us out of most of our offense.

Tom Heithoff

We took it one game at a time, one possession at a time, one minute at a time. I compare it to chopping down a tree. You work at it and work at it and, eventually, it falls.

Kermit Carolina

With air balls you can never tell until the end. But I just grabbed it, took off down the lane and went coast-to-coast. It was a big boost and got everyone pumped.

Brittany Cornelius

My rear tyre stayed good for the whole race. I didn't think Troy would be as good as he was in the second race, but I did every lap like it was a qualifying lap, as hard as I could. It took me a long while to put it together, but I finally got by him.

Troy Bayliss

I think Terry and Milton have a good relationship. They took their visit to Alabama together and have talked a whole lot during the process.

Teddy Dyess

He was a very hard-working man, but he was dedicated to his family. He didn't enjoy working the long hours because it took time away from being with his family.

Sardar Raza

They're the most athletic team we've ever played. They just caused some turnovers and they took advantage of it. That's what good teams do. We should have been able to handle it.

Chad Hettermann

We took the air out of the ball a little bit in the last few minutes.

Joe James

I was pleased that we got this one under our belts. The kids knew that they were the better team and they went out and took care of business.

Pat Cooper

To cure a batting slump, I took my bat to bed with me. I wanted to know my bat a little better.

Richie Ashburn

Can you imagine how you would feel just to design the mood for the film ? he not only took the assignment but he pulled it off.

Michael Bingham

In the first three minutes of the third quarter we took their will away.

Andre Walker

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

I like to think even though it took some time away from my children, it taught them, also. They gained value about how I made choices to spend my time.

Pamela Smith

I pushed all the switches I could push and I even took the steering wheel on and off, because that's electrical too. I'm not sure which switches solved it, but the engine started running again and we were able to go to the end.

Tony Ave

I just took a whack at it. It comes down to basic plays, simple plays. We were paying attention to the details.

Martin Lapointe

I told (my blockers) to open up a hole and I'd take it home, ... I was supposed to keep right, but I had seen a hole in the middle and I took the daylight. I'm grateful for my teammates.

Josh White

He's been pretty focused since he took sixth last year. He walked off pretty disgusted with himself and since then, he's said to me and said to himself this year he's turning it around. He's trying to move to the top spot.

Jade Gribble

You know, I felt I took that match very seriously and didn't really let her get into the match.

Amelie Mauresmo

It took some time. We've shown signs of doing what were supposed to do, but we're still inexperienced.

Al Sorrentino

I don't know if there was any extra incentive because of losing to them before. What I do know is that these kids are capable of playing the way we played tonight, especially on the defensive end of the floor. They played smart, they took care of the basketball and overall, I thought we did a great job.

Luann Grybowski

The first quarter was just awful, but then Tommy (Kurth) banks in the 3 and we have the lead after the first quarter. I kept looking up thinking (the Cavemen) were up seven or eight points, but then, heck, we tied it and then took the lead.

Alan Dean Foster

Frank Pinckney took a first-rate health system and developed it into a renowned academic medical center. Every resident in this region stands to benefit from that.

Mack Whittle

I am still filled with the same joy and enthusiasm that I had when I took this job. We can win the World Cup. That is our goal, but we'll take it one step at a time.

Juergen Klinsmann

It took me two or three years to get comfortable back there. But now, I feel good back there.

Russ Martin

This community is the perfect example of a community that took the environment and made it better.

Stephen Walker

It's my call ---- it's my decision. It took me some time. I wanted to think it through.

David Spencer

We ran okay, but our workouts for the state meet took their toll. We ran decent times, but didn't get the places we wanted.

Al Knutson

We haven't changed our style. Everything we're doing today is the same stuff we were doing yesterday. Same southern style and Texas heart, same producers we just took stuff up on a higher level.

Michael Watts

It took far too long for this book to be written. But it also took a long time for Germany as a nation to be able to look clearly at what happened in the Nazi era.

Otto Schily

I gave my shots to him from the first point. He took everything he could possibly get.

Bobby Riggs

I was proud of Patrick. He took us down on a great drive. A lot of people tried to get down on him early, with the interception, but he showed a lot of poise and a lot of confidence and stepped up and led the offense.

Chris Samuels

It took like 15 minutes.

Lorenzo White

When I went to the UW and I first started taking my classes, he gave me guidance as to what courses to take. He made sure I took the core classes whereby I'd get my degree on time, which is what I did.

Charles Mitchell

[Theft was common.] It's the law of the playground, ... a journey back to boyhood, where if you wanted somebody's sandwich you beat him up and took it.

Jaime Salazar

The movie shows how much of his life Capote put into 'In Cold Blood' and the toll it took on him. He made it a literary phenomenon and it was a hard act to follow. No matter what he did, he could never top it.

Ron Cooper

We knew the first five minutes of the third quarter would be important. Fort Worth played well and we didn't. We really struggled offensively. Give them credit, because they took some good shots and really opened up the floor.

Terry Thimlar

We will donate to anyone you want us to. We had one apartment full of furniture ? two beds, TV, couches, tables ? and we took it all to My Friend's House. It feels good when you can do something for people. Giving back to the community is important to me and my guys.

Del Mcspadden

In less than a week, Bode apologized for his comments, he took responsibility for his comments and his governing body took decisive action.

Darryl Seibel

There was this crazy moment when we both got the same idea. We took one cool thing and another cool thing, put them together, and came up with something special.

Jacek Pruski

The first period we played as well as we (had) all year. They took over in the second, but we got it back.

Garth Snow

It was the high country that really took the bulk of the storm so far.

Stacey Stegman

He shot into the air because he was a very religious man, and he knew if he took his own life he wouldn't go to heaven.

Sandra Angle

Most workers took a 20 percent cut on wages.

Rick Chilson

Only a very, very small number of our two million accounts were impacted, but we took the precaution of canceling additional card accounts to be safe.

Darcel Kimble

(The U.N.) actually took a lot of trouble to protect him.

Brian Urquhart

That took its toll toward the end of the season. This year we have a lot more guys to give us depth. If we give these guys experience early on, they'll be there for us later.

Shelden Williams

In the third when Justin intercepted the pass for a TD, it really took the wind out of their sails. It was so impressive and just pumped everybody up.

Jim Smart

There is a fundamental restructuring of the world economy. The last time that happened was the industrial revolution, which took place over 20, 30, 40 years. Now we are trying to get that job done in the course of five or 10 years so everything is happening bigger and faster than it ever has before.

Drew Cupps

The courthouse did command everyone's time among the staff. It took a little more time than what we wished for, but you could say the project was fatally flawed from the beginning. It took some time, but the mayor was able to work on other initiatives, and I think him pulling the plug on the project will have its place in history.

Susie Wiles

We started off slow. Male was getting good pitching and we weren't swinging the bats that well, but we got going later on and the hits started to drop in for us. We haven't played in several days and it took us awhile to get going.

Donnie English

We took 24 shots in the second half and scored 13 points. It was kind of a snowball effect. I can't fault the kids for that, but we sometimes let that carry over while we were on defense and you can't take a mental break in basketball.

Kevin Allen

It was a little cold, wet and damp in the morning, but otherwise it went really well. We're hearing that more than 95 percent -- closer to 98 percent -- of the union members took part.

Matt Nathanson

There were episodes where I would wear seven or eight outfits. It took a lot of time to get those together. What the character wears is very essential to how I create the character.

Donna Mills

Coach talked to us at halftime about when you think about it, one play in a big game, one mental mistake, can cost us. So many of us are so hungry for playing time, we know that coach can easily replace us if we make that mental mistake. I just took it as another learning experience in college basketball. And in the second half, I calmed down. I'm learning to take what they give me.

Julian Wright

I was a little bit nervous in that last game and it took me a few match points to get there. I was very happy to pull it out.

Samantha Stosur

As far as I'm concerned, you don't deserve to breathe. You don't deserve to live. You took the life of a 10-month-old baby -- even worse, your 10-month-old baby.

Taryn Thompson

We are always so happy to see them. It is such a reminder of what the US Coast Guard brings to our community. It's also a reminder of what it took to get the helicopter based here and how critical it is that it remains here.

Ginny Goblirsch

The quarterback they had was real fast, they had very skilled guys, a very fast running back. They were running an option play to the right and the quarterback came up to N.D. and went to shake N.D. and flipped the ball out for the option to the running back and N.D. caught it in midair and took it 75 yards.
