[On the game ] We shouldn't have gotten beat by twenty something points this game. We didn't play well, we weren't sharp, we just didn't play the way we were supposed to play this game.

Daniel Gibson

It's eighty percent script and twenty percent you get great actors. There's nothing else to it.

Monica Baldwin

With a twenty-year horizon until retirement, she could invest in a rental property with a 15-year mortgage, which provides deductions.

Luigi Russolo

It's just been around the clock because we work two shifts and we don't stop. Somebody is on their job all the time, twenty-four hours a day if there is snow on the ground.

Johnny Williams

War needs to be waged on this disease. Twenty years ago if a child was diagnosed with cancer it was a death sentence; now there's an 80 percent cure rate. I just think if there's enough awareness raised and we move research ahead, something can be done.

Linda Hastings

It was easier for us to live in the city in the very beginning. Fifteen to twenty years ago, there were not many Chinese in New Jersey.

Bruce Zhang

'All-American' looks very different today than it did twenty years ago, and I felt that that wasn't being reflected. For better or for worse, young girls get their idea of what is beautiful from the pages of magazines. And so when an Indian girl looks in Seventeen and sees a girl from her background smiling back at her, that sends her a message that she is beautiful.

Atoosa Rubenstein

Twenty-three is old. It's almost 25, which is like almost mid-20s.

Jessica Simpson

Robert Herrick

Twenty-five people today. This is so-so, but for a Monday, it's not bad.

Tony Chen

Julius Caesar built that bridge over the Rhine in 10 days. Ten days! They've been trying to fix the Van Wyck since I moved to New York City in 1971. Twenty years and $20 billion later and we still don't have a subway to JFK.

Peter Weller

Twenty-five thousand of the neediest students don't receive state aid. What we would like to see is that state grants are transparent for students so they can do their financial planning for college, and it can be transferred between institutions and that they are given to the neediest students.

Diane Lindner

If that takes two days, two weeks, two years, twenty years, that's what we do here with victims in our community.

Jeanie Reimer

We were better than the Marlins last year. We were supposed to battle them to the end, but we had no wind left in our sails because of our schedule. Twenty-two extra road games beats you down.

Joey Eischen

The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen, and all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women. Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean that you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten.

Jules Feiffer

Two things happened that put Lab out ahead. First, Darrell Paul picked up three quick fouls in the first half and had to sit out the entire third period.

Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.

Diana Ross

We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later.

Bonnie Henrickson

I'm never a person who likes anything I've done. It's just the way it is. Twenty years later, I can look at something I did, and I'm still thinking, 'You know, that could have been better if you had done it this way or that way.

Robert Guillaume

I think I have between twenty and thirty commercials playing at present.

Thayer David

Twenty-three years is a long time. Ms. Burwell will be out of circulation until her mid-60s. Under all the circumstances I'm very pleased.

Attorney Wes Nance

DAY, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent. This period is divided into two parts, the day proper and the night, or day improper - the former devoted to sins of business, the latter consecrated to the other sort. These two kinds of social activity overlap.

Ambrose Bierce

We just got on a roll. Twenty-five points is sometimes as much as we score in three quarters.

Bruce Thomas

Here's what finally wrong: A local dive club in Omaha, Nebraska, goes to a local lake and does a fund-raiser and proudly presents DAN with a check for three hundred dollars and twenty-six cents. Sure this impacts the mission, because that's money you could've spent on other things.

Michael Lang

Twenty years ago, you'd see guys busting rackets in locker rooms. Today they do it in their hotel rooms.

Brad Gilbert

It's like, 'Wow, we're still doing it,' you know? ... Twenty-five years later, we're still doing it. And we still got hair too, I can't believe it.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Twenty percent of our patients meet the criteria for needing more cardiovascular services. This will complement the services already offered.

Michele Lerow

We've gotten on a good roll here. Twenty wins is 20 wins. I think we're the best team in Kentucky. I'd definitely be upset if we don't make the (NCAA) Tournament.

Anthony Winchester

He is imperial. Isn't that what you want? Twenty-five guys like that? Nine of them on the field and the other 16 believing they should be?

Chris Sabo

If the Earth could be made to rotate twice as fast, managers would get twice as much done. If the Earth could be made to rotate twenty times as fast, everyone else would get twice as much done since all the managers would fly off.

Norman R. Augustine

There is no intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the comforts of life must arise from.

Bernard Mandeville

Our mission is to serve all people in St. Lawrence County and beyond for specialty services. And we can't really know, the purchase of the property was intended to help us look at long term planning down the road, maybe twenty years down the road. We can't possibly know how medicine will chance over twenty years.

Rebecca Sutcliffe

Why is it that gas that's already been bought and paid for and is already in South Dakota before the disaster stuck is costing twenty five, even forty cents more than the day before.

Larry Long

I have waited twenty-two years for this . . . I've waited all my life for this opportunity.

A. Philip Randolph

It adds more choices for residents to have. Twenty years ago people would have to go into nursing homes and now they can go into assisted living.

Derrick Johnson

The percentage of women who gamble has dramatically increased. Twenty years ago, it would have been 80 percent men, 20 percent women, and now it's 50-50.

Keith Whyte

In matters of commerce the fault of the Dutch / Is offering too little and asking too much. / The French are with equal advantage content, / So we clap on Dutch bottoms just twenty per cent.

George Canning

Twenty-five years from now, we'll have an opportunity to see whether Superstition Vistas turned out to be business as usual, or something very, very special.

Rob Melnick

Twenty years ago that wasn't the case, but it is now.

Nadine Vogel

Twenty-two years ago, he committed to an entire life's mission to write about the African-American experience. That is a huge, huge commitment. This is one man saying, 'I want to do this.' How he has changed the face of American theater is truly amazing.

Ricardo Khan

We hit this embankment. The car flipped over twenty-one times.

Thomas Brinkman

It takes a woman twenty years to make a man of her son, and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him.

Nyo Cho Tong

Bring your work back to the workshop twenty times. Polish it continuously, and polish it again.

Nicholas Boileau

We should commit resources, as we did to conquer polio in the fifties. We could quadruple the Alzheimer's budget and not saturate all clinical trials and possible targets. If we don't there will be hell to pay in twenty years.

John Trojanowski

We're really happy with it. Between the JV and varsity we brought a total of 30 guys. Twenty-four were in the finals. We were real happy.

Dave Sanchez

Hindsight is always twenty-twenty.

Billy Wilder

They (Forest Service regulations) had a limit then of 20 people in a party, and so what we had was many groups of 20, each with a leader. Twenty people would go off, and when the last one was off and maybe a couple hundred feet up from Timberline, the next one would take off. And they just kept moving out.

Lynn Buchanan

Anytime it's one-on-one and you can win the game or lose the game, it's pretty nerve-racking. Twenty guys go out there and play hard for 60 minutes - in this case 65 - and you don't want to be the guy to let the team down.

Lee Stempniak

Will they be bad owners? Will they simply flip this property over to developers? ... One hundred and twenty-seven acres in the center of Pinellas County is worth a fortune.

David Bernstein

I spent my first twenty years in Morocco, where I coached the national team.

Just Fontaine

Though it sounds absurd, it is true to say I felt younger at sixty than I felt at twenty.

Preston Clark

When I'm dead twenty-five years, people are going to begin to recognize me.

Scott Joplin

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

Rodney Dangerfield

Will Rogers

[CNN debuted in an era when the received wisdom was to feed viewers small chunks of news at set times. Most believed that there was no demand for a dedicated channel.] When Ted Turner launched CNN, beaming pictures around the world 24 hours a day was revolutionary, ... Twenty-five years later it's the only way to be competitive in a world that boasts more than 70 24-hour news operations.

Chris Cramer

Twenty people have mentioned that to me.

Cammi Granato

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do then by the ones you did. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain

When I was fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have him around. When I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.

Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain

The most prolific period of pessimism comes at twenty-one, or thereabouts, when the first attempt is made to translate dreams into reality.

Heywood C. Broun

Twenty-five years ago, drunk driving was the last socially acceptable form of murder in America. And those pioneers of MADD set out to change that.

Glynn Birch

We don't think if you're going to bring thousands of users up that you're not going to want support. If you're a small company with ten to twenty users, have fun with it. But when you look to scale, you need support.

Peter Winston

To those who were not familiar with the motions of the moon, they demonstrated that she possesses two distinct motions, the first being that of rotation upon her axis, the second being that of revolution round the earth, accomplishing both together in an equal period of time, that is to say, in twenty-seven and one-third days.

Jules Verne

The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

Amanda Lenhart

Twenty-five percent of the public don't want nuclear power at any cost.

Nick Pidgeon

If they run a promotion and have a real low price, then that's going to lower in the whole area the prices. It doesn't mean that ten miles, twenty miles away it might still be a little bit higher.

Alan Wright

Twenty-five years ago, we had around 250 moose in that unit. This year we counted 11 in our survey area. We think we are losing them to disease, similar to what's happening in northwestern Minnesota.

Randy Kreil

I have always felt that the moment when first you wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours.

Monica Baldwin

When I was as you are now, towering in the confidence of twenty-one, little did I suspect that I should be at forty-nine, what I now am.

Sarah Orne Jewett

We were in the game. It was just a matter of closing it out. Twenty-thousand people out there didn't want us to win the game.

Sarah Lowe

We distill content for Fortune 500 executives every day. We know how to take a twenty-minute speech and edit it down to the three or four minutes that apply directly to a specific constituency. We can leverage any existing or future communication initiative, adding to the value of those efforts.

Joe Mullen

Twenty wins is monumental for us. We knew it was coming up and we talked about it. Being this close really probably had something to do with the start of the game.

Dan Stander

That isn't going to do it. Twenty-five minutes? Coach told us if we play 40 minutes, we can be the best team in the league.

Marcus Williams

It is impossible for any woman to love her children twenty-four hours a day.

Milton R. Sapirstein

Mike Snyder

Twenty-four hours ago, he (Campbell) was just an 18-year-old gainfully employed, working toward his future. Today he stands charged with a federal offense.

Jeff Breitzman

Twenty to 30 percent of my work is now related to photography and writing.

Chris Linder

Roger Bordeaux

Twenty-some shots is a tremendous game, offensively. For them not to score a goal, you have to hand it back to our kids; they put up such a great defensive effort.

Twenty-eight gauge is pretty uncommon here. But down there (in Texas) it's popular.

Jim Holland

Twenty percent of our profits are given to charities. We are very focused on math and science education. We've given a lot of money to advanced math education from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. We also helped establish a public school in Columbus that focuses on math and science.

Martin Toomajian

Creativity is an important part of modern teaching and learning. It made sense to take their idea and upgrade it using emerging twenty-first century technology.

Paul Scott

No person is ever good for much, that hasn't been swept off their feet by enthusiasm between ages twenty and thirty.

James A. Froude

It has been a long hard August with significant volatility. Twenty-one of the last 30 Septembers have yielded losses on the month. It is difficult to see that this September will buck the trend.

David Buik

Youth is something very new: twenty years ago no one mentioned it.

Coco Chanel

See food as medicine eighty per cent of the time. The other twenty per cent of the time you can indulge.

Jason Cook

Stylish ambience, stadium seating, high-tech sound and projection, and of course, fantastic entrees will provide the ultimate movie-going experience for our patrons. Each Movie Tavern will be a place to regularly see the latest blockbusters from Hollywood but without the headaches associated with going to a twenty- or thirty-screen theater.

In 1980 the Northwest Power Planning Council set its mission to protect and restore salmon and steelhead and to ensure that the Northwest had a reliable, affordable energy supply. Twenty years later, we have extinctions and blackouts.

Scott Stanzel

Twenty percent of workers say they called into work because they just didn't feel like going into the office that day. One in four workers report they feel sick days are equivalent to extra vacation days and treat them as such.

Rosemary Haefner

If you observe a really happy man, you will find... that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours each day.

W. Beran Wolfe

Well, we won the war. You know what that means. In twenty years, we'll all be driving Iraqi cars.

Will Durst

It seemed like my career was always on the edge of something. Twenty years of bubbling under and not quite erupting kept up the excitement for me, I guess.

James Hunter

If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses.

Lenny Bruce

I don't understand people who believe that if you ignore something, it'll go away. That's completely wrong - if it's ignored it gathers strength. Europe ignored Hitler for twenty years. As a result he slaughtered a quarter of the world!

Lemmy Kilmister

No, we don't. Why, just imagine what life will be like twenty-five years from now.

Dorothy Smith

In the 19th century, ... the private house was perfected. That was a place that was all about the family to the exclusion of anything else, including work. All that has changed. Twenty million Americans work at home now. Half the households in America are without children. That's a huge number. Twenty-five percent of the households are people living alone.

Terence Riley

Everyone says two sentences and that's it! We can be home in twenty minutes!
