This was the first time since Southern Illinois [a victory at the Great Alaska Shootout in November] I think Monmouth basketball put 40 minutes together.

Chris Kenny

Free throw shooting was the story of the game. It was a role reversal. The first time we played them (an Airport victory), they missed free throws and we didn't. Tonight was different.

Spencer Roecker

I am humbled and honored to have the support of so many distinguished friends in the Legislature. We're going to work hard with the help of our friends to bring forth a united Republican Party to victory in 2006.

Bob Beauprez

To come back like we did is indicative of this team. One through six we grinded it out and came away with the victory.

Will Catalano

I don't think we got their best shot. It's just so hard to get kids up after that kind of emotional victory.

Mick Price

The special election may be an albatross today, but it won't necessarily be one in 2006. If even one of his initiatives passes in November, the governor could declare victory.

Tim Hodson

This is a clear victory for our users.

Nicole Wong

We played with a lot of heart in the second half. We battled against a very good Clear Brook team. My guys showed a lot of guts. Solid defense was the key to the victory.

Chris Cobb

We wanted to celebrate that victory.

Anne Roberts

We feel vindicated. The judge made a courageous decision. It's a victory for property rights in Georgia.

Mark Meeks

We are all amateur players in Cuba. We don't have anybody playing outside of the country. Therefore, playing against the Major League Baseball players is the greatest victory for us.

Yoandry Garlobo

It's a major reduction in livestock use — a great victory for fish and wildlife.

Katie Fite

Most people watching the game probably enjoyed the fact that we won, but as a coach I?m going to be very critical. I?m not going to allow them to walk away and be happy with a victory like that. It?s about how they play the game. Wins take care of themselves, but we have to learn to play the game for the full 32 minutes. We can?t get caught up in one-on-one basketball.

Kermit Carolina

It was thrilling in the sense that we pulled out a victory with seconds remaining in the game, but also upsetting.

Armando Padilla

We definitely needed this victory. I think the win will definitely benefit us because now we know that we can make plays and pull out a hard fought game.

Jerry Fitzgerald

We never gave up. The whole thing, the whole time, we were saying we couldn't give up, that we had to stay together. We knew we could get a victory if we put our minds to it.

Aaron Lewis

Ames-Valley is a great rivalry, so we know it's one game where we never have to worry about focus with the kids. The kids had great focus and executed the game plan, and we were able to take away a victory.

Joel Sullivan

This contract is a major victory for patients. It is unfortunate that these workers had to strike for 7 days and get locked out in order to win better patient care standards. But now standards at Eden are finally in line with those at every other Sutter hospital in the Bay Area.

Sal Rosselli

We certainly couldn't declare a victory, by no means. But I think so far, so good would be fair.

Sir Howard Stringer

We chose this cause because it happened during the Tour of Spain and it was in the papers at the same time as Roberto's victory. This isn't a replica, it is the actual bike Roberto rode and so it is a real collector's piece. I hope that someone will pay in the region of 50 000 euros for it.

Manolo Saiz

If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory.

Bruce Jenner

The only road to contract victory for the membership was not by strike but continued negotiation.

Michael O'brien

The question of whether the missions were a success is difficult to answer. From the standpoint of physical growth, yes. But with declining Indian populations, because of disease, it was a hollow victory.

James Sandos

And I know they (CSU) always get jacked up and want to come down here and beat us. We know we're going to get their best effort, so we've got to play hard. And personally, just growing up in Colorado, it's been a pleasure to be a part of it now for the last three years. Hopefully, we'll come out with a victory.

Joel Klatt

It's going to take a couple weeks to get a decision but both sides will declare victory tomorrow.

Andy Neff

Tonight's game was almost a mirror image of last week's game (when Tampa's Derek Lee hit a two-run homer off Batista in the ninth to give the D-Rays a 3-2 victory).

Russ Adams

It's amazing. We had to rebuild this population from scratch. To see them reproduce on their own is a huge, huge victory.

Kelly Sorenson

It's always good to have an opportunity to win a game, but we don't do moral victories here. We're not a moral victory kind of team. We lost, we lost.

Jason Cain

The thrill of the victory in that race was decidedly less than what I'd anticipated, ... I think it was God's timing, it was God's way of getting my attention.

Pat Day

The return of our national symbol is a victory for wildlife, a victory for conservation and a victory for the Endangered Species Act.

Doug Inkley

Our running game was awesome because everyone stepped it up. McNulty did a great job holding his own in the second half to secure the victory. We saw a glimpse of the future as (junior) Brandon Ruta (13 yards, 3 carries) showed the crowd his special talents.

Roger Day

These people are perfectly capable of, if they got some sort of victory in Iraq, of turning south and going against the Saudi Royal Family and after the facilities. I've got no doubt about that.

Bob Baer

The 4-1 defeat in Italy was not as bad as some people said it was and this 4-1 victory against the United States may not be as good as some people will say.

Juergen Klinsmann

Victory has 1,000 fathers; defeat has 1,000 kibitzers.

Jeff Greenfield

I think this is an outstanding victory for us not just in winning but because we learned a lot in the process tonight. We really learned some things that are going to help win some ballgames for us.

Todd Salva

His grand victory and inflated expectations are two of Morales? greatest enemies. There are many people who are hoping for miracles in the short term.

Carlos Toranzo

Tommy Franks and the coalition forces have demonstrated the old axiom that boldness on the battlefield produces swift and relatively bloodless victory. The three-week swing through Iraq has utterly shattered skeptics' complaints.

Tony Snow

I would've been satisfied with a one-point victory. But we wanted to prove that we're on a different level ... To come out and play the way we did was phenomenal.

Lamar Owens

We came in confident and we came out with a victory. This is going to shock a lot of people.

Justin Brouse

This victory, to win today, will bring peace in my country and that was most important.

Bonaventure Kalou

As a function of us wanting to believe we can cheer our team on to victory, we feel much closer to those individuals.

John Tauer

This is a tremendous victory for freedom.

Nick Griffin

This is a significant victory for the town.

Mayor David Iwuc

I love to knock guys out, that's my game, but today I had to adjust and box with my jab. I would have knocked him out by the fifth or sixth round. But I had to jab my way to victory.

Joe Calzaghe

We experienced the classic cliche -- the thrill of victory and agony of defeat.

Mike Skelton

Overall, we think it was a big victory. The little guy doesn't have to subsidize the fat cat's health care.

Bob Bedard

This is the biggest victory we can have all season.

Nate Vader

I've trained harder, I'm better, I'm stronger, the blood of a champion runs through my veins, I've earned this opportunity, I'll earn this victory, I've already won.

Laila Ali

So we can't afford to let points go at home. We need to take the three points on Saturday and snatch a third consecutive victory on our ground.

Laurent Fournier

I don't like (one-point matches) but I've had a lot of them the last two weeks. Whatever gets me a victory, I'll take.

Bryan Goodman

The victory wasn't easy, I was a bit nervous at the start of the second set as I struggled with my service, ... But I managed to break back immediately after dropping my service, and then things went my way.

Anastasia Myskina

I just want to give praise to the good Lord for allowing me to be on the sidelines and help coaching this team to a big victory. Rico comes up with plays all the time. Our defense played tremendous. Even though they put up all those points, I don't think our guys ever panicked.

Kent Briggs

My favorite actress of all times is Bette Davis in Dark Victory. I have seen it six or seven times, and I still cry.

Bette Page

Greg Hill had a great game for us. We rode him to this victory. Michigan City's tough to play. They're got athletes and quickness, just like us.

Jim East

When a team gets to a final, victory is more important than performance, ... But we want to extend the Kerry tradition of playing quality football and winning with style.

Jack O'connor

If an Iraq war scenario were to unfold in the early part of the year, it would probably be welcomed by the market. Especially once victory is attained, which I think it would.

Carlos Asilis

To presume that any deal is better than a delayed deal, that's based on a political strategy that we have to get out as ugly as we can, as quickly as we can, ... Squandered Victory: The American Occupation and the Bungled Effort to Bring Democracy to Iraq .

Larry Diamond

Our goal was to hold them to under 40 points for the game, so we're happy we were able to do that. It wasn't our prettiest game, but anytime you can get a win on the road in front of a hostile crowd, it's a good victory. The girls did a good job of holding their composure in here tonight.

Jennifer Shoaf

It was an awesome victory for this team. It is tough to beat these Arizona schools on this type of a course this time of year, but our guys love to compete and it showed.

Bruce Brockbank

That was a tough loss for us to take, ... But our victory in the third-place game against New Trier put us in a very good position to be voted into a high seed going into the sectional seeding meeting (tonight/Wednesday).

Alex Hernandez

Losing is very contagious. When you fall into a streak like we've done, it becomes very easy for you to just want to go through the motions. Right now, we're not doing that. But I think it's necessary for us to get a victory soon to show ourselves that we can be a successful team. Once we get one, I believe, then more and more wins will come.

Paul Carrington

That's a huge victory. We're a team that's went through all season with change-ups in the lineup due to illness or disciplinary reasons, and I think that's made us strong because we've been able to play with people being able to take over those positions.

Jeremiah Denniston

That was probably the key to the victory. Every time they dropped back to pass he was getting harassed. Those guys up front dominated.

Brad Kassell

I know we will win because I see it in the eyes of the Marines every morning. In their eyes is the sparkle of victory.

Randy Stone

I had a good game, but I was trying to lead my team to a victory. Even though we came up short, I had one of my best games on both ends of the floor.

Cedric Simmons

When Marco scored his first takedown and got a victory, the team really fed off that and got the momentum going.

Jim Crumlish

We needed to come out and be the aggressors. When we played Eau Claire last weekend (a 63-59 overtime victory for Oshkosh), we came out with no intensity. With all of the young, talented kids Lois has, it only takes one thing to spark them.

Terri Schumacher

The ball rotation on offense was much better. We had seven different players with assists and finished with 19 as a team. We rebounded hard, played solid defense and took good shots. Those are the ingredients for a victory.

Tim Cline

You can look at it as a way to fail or you can look at it as a great opportunity to succeed. I guess we're lucky that we have kids who look at it as a great opportunity to make a big play and have a great victory.

Scott Carlson

[It's] a victory that happened because of your support, the workers' courage and the university's willingness to meet with us.

Tanya Aquino

The rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that must precede the victory.

Ted W. Engstrom

[Chen allowed two hits in eight innings and Chris Ray pitched a perfect ninth Wednesday night in the Orioles' 7-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.] I did want to go out there for the ninth inning, ... I had good stuff and I felt like I could have done it, but I'm just glad I helped this team win. We really needed a win.

Bruce Chen

Panic selling emerged right from the opening amid uncertainties over cross-strait relations after Chen's victory.

Ben Lee

It's big. We went into Person and stole one there and came in and got another victory here. If you win on the road it's big time, but you still got to hold your own court. This is a great win, but we're only halfway through. It should be an exciting second half of the season.

Tim Ross

There's no such thing as a moral victory. But I saw a lot of great things. We're in for a pretty darn good season.

Jeff Cleveland

I am particularly pleased at winning the election during the primary campaign and look forward to serving the citizens of Fountain Hills. My victory was a team effort. I would like to take the opportunity to thank my core campaign team and most importantly, the voters who elected me.

Henry Leger

Doesn't matter at all. All that matters is we got the victory.

Jayne Appel

This award is a victory for poor women; it's a victory for all women, ... End oppression with education.

Mukhtar Mai

This is a victory for the rule of law in the country, and it shows that nobody is ... above the constitution.

Shambhu Thapa

We've snatched a major victory.

Danny Yatom

Once I realized the match depended on my match, I totally focused. I give a lot of credit to the cheering, it really carried me to victory.

Bijan Hejazi

Frankly, the Republicans smell victory, and that's what will bring out the money.

Jerry Shuster

I couldn't be more proud of this group. These players deserved better. They practiced hard and their attitude has been great. It was a big reason for the victory.

Casey Cavanaugh

Every team's objective in postseason play is the same: to advance. It's pretty simple. At the end of the day you advance or you're done. Six teams from our conference will probably get in (the NCAA Tournament). Drury is in. (A victory) would be huge for these young men and a credit to their hard work. But it's always a building process. Our first goal was to get into postseason play.

Scott Davenport

Our seniors clearly didn't want to walk out of here without the victory. The seniors stepped up today and took care of business. Our seniors walk out of here with 89 victories. That is pretty darn impressive for a four-year career.

Carol Gelet

If the tanks succeed, then victory follows.

Heinz Guderian

Coach was saying that if we had six more people that was in with us then we would have come out with a victory. We have a couple people on the boat, but not everybody.

Marcus Thomas

We want him to know we'll give our life for him. We watched the game film of the UC Davis and Oregon games and saw the number of hits he received. We made sure that didn't happen against Washington State. Trent is one of those guys who can lead you to victory against any team as long as you give him time to work.

Allen Smith

To have a victory of some kind he could point to for the fall would be a big plus.

Steve Kinney

I'm glad they play hard for me, but this was a team victory.

Jason Maas

You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat.

Christy Mathewson

The fact of the matter is we'll get $450 million dollars of that market back, but the other $400 million we won't with the current agreement. We're looking at a hollow victory.

Jay Truitt

West led us and we rode the third period to victory.

Doug Bleadorn

Today's victory means that thousands of Americans will not have their lives cut short because of the pollution that would have blown through this huge loophole.

Janice Nolen

If they want to run and thump themselves in the chest and call this a victory, fine. We'll see in the end.

Marion Hammer

Organizing works. Doing things collectively can accomplish things. It (the victory) reinforces our commitment.

Jack Porter

We're pretty happy about it, because we won. It was a major victory. We got back what we had fought for and saved hunting season for about 1,200 hunters.

Dave Gowdey

The Gainesville Chamber of Commerce organized a drive to collect books to be donated to the Gainesville Victory ship. Two hundred books were collected.

Margaret Johnson

The important thing is the victory, we managed to score three goals in a match that could have become difficult. It's fundamental for the team to continue to create lots of chances, we must take advantage of all the qualities we have in attack and try to kill off matches.

Javier Zanetti

He's a tremendous player. You have to give credit where it's due. He came out in the second half with the desire to win and led his team to victory.

Sidney Rice

We realized we were up but that didn't mean anything. We still had to play. We played to the final horn. It was a great victory.

Cory Jones

This is a victory of the Palestinian people who voted against the occupation (by Israel in the West Bank), who voted for resistance, who voted for a new political system based on political partnership.

Ismail Haniyeh

It's really funny to have this beard, you know, I have never really had one before in my life. My beard now has gotten really, really long, to the point that it tickles my ears. I made a promise to Carl that I would shave everything off right there in Victory Lane.

Tom Giacchi

Today's decision represents a very significant victory for the antitrust division on the core claim in the Microsoft case that Microsoft engaged in anticompetitive conduct to preserve its monopoly position in computer operating systems.

Charles A. James

About two years ago, the government went to the IRS, targeted management and above and called them up with a story to trick them into divulging vital information. More than 70 percent did just that. In 2005, a similar test was run again and the IRS considered it a victory that only 30 percent gave up the information.

John Nugent

I have full confidence in the capacity of the PQ to renew itself and I am convinced that the current leadership race will allow our rank-and-file members to elect as leader the person who will lead us to electoral victory and, especially, a victorious referendum.

Bernard Landry

Seeing him get the victory at 103 made me want it just as much.

Pete Hughes

This is a victory for sound science, the killer whales, and the people of the Pacific Northwest. However, if Congress continues on its path to gut the Endangered Species Act, the best tools available to protect the killer whale will be ripped right out of the hands of the scientists and resource managers in the Pacific Northwest.

Brent Plater

This was a huge win for us in our conference play, probably the biggest in two years. We showed our determination being down so early in the match and coming back to defeat A.C. Reynolds. They are a great team and we showed up tonight. I can't single anyone out on this win, it was a team victory.

David Fletcher

Four-hundred is a special milestone. This was an incredible victory to get that win.

Tony Duckworth

The breadth and depth of the Home Depot victory over Lowe's is pretty substantial.

John Zogby

It is hard to win in front of your supporters, but I am happy that in the end I gained victory.

Andrei Pavel

I don't believe any of our voters have been impressed with any of St. John Fisher's wins. When Roberts Wesleyan is arguably the team's best victory, that doesn't speak well to most voters.

Pat Coleman

It's not easy to win three events in a row. A victory always gives you a lot of confidence. Hopefully, I can make a jump of my own style to win a medal in the Olympics.

Takanobu Okabe

This has been a victory of mob rule. Never before have I seen such absolutely incredible and unprofessional behavior from lawyers urging this disruption. They used these children as pawns.

Chris Thomas

The president will not be satisfied until every American looking for work can find it, ... a victory for American workers, their families and America's small businesses.

Scott Stanzel

I was happy for (Kim). Today, she got a chance to be the last match on with a victory. She didn't feel good about the second and got a great start in the third and that made a world of difference.

Nu Coach Scott Jacobson

(Casper) put the team on his shoulders and led us to victory on the mound. He was a nice spark for us in the second game.

Bruce Steinbecker

The 5 and 25 teams have been hitting on all eight cylinders since July. I knew it was only a matter of time until one of the teams went to Victory Lane. I try not to think too much about getting that first win. We'll continue doing what we've been doing for the last two months and when it comes, it comes.

Brian Vickers

Victory becomes, to some degree, a state of mind. Knowing ourselves superior to the anxieties, troubles, and worries which obsess us, we are superior to them.

Basil King

We had a strong defensive effort and a big scoring nights from Allison and Jean to pull out a hard fought victory.

Dennis Mackey

It's a moral victory for transit workers. The notion that we should no longer have unpaid health care has been defeated.

John Samuelsen

We tried to create some things, and at the same time were able to take advantage of some mistakes they made. We were able to do enough for a victory.

Rafael Santana

The last game we were supposed to send a message to Lockport and we didn't. They had a good game plan and followed through on it, and they got the victory. It would be nice to find excuses, but there are none. They outplayed us and wanted it more than we did.

Cal Saunders

The faces of the women and children in far-away Spain, widows and orphans of this July third rose before me so vividly that I had to draw comfort from the thought that a decisive victory is... more merciful than a prolonged struggle.

Charles Clark

It feels like a victory.

Christine Vachon

Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people's minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide.

Barbara Deming

No strike could ever be won with a Communist at its head since the employers would make victory impossible.

James P. Cannon

Their goal is to claim a very big victory and achievement and say, 'Now that we have reached our goal and public opinion has been satisfied, we will go for compromise with the UN security council and US.

Saeed Leylaz

If you want sustained growth you need business investment to help drive it. The growth report combined with the election victory is good news: investors for years have been crying out for reform and have been hoping the Japanese economy can sustain growth.

Stephen Koukoulas

There's a difference between losing a game and getting beat. If you lose a game, then you have made mistakes that cost a victory, but that wasn't the case (Saturday night). We just got beat by a better team.

Greg King

American taxpayers, and anyone concerned with the nation's long-term fiscal stability, have won a great victory today.

Deborah Pryce

Chess is a sport. The main object in the game of chess remains the achievement of victory.

Max Euwe

It was an almost-expected victory over South Africa. But it doesn't mean we don't have to make an effort [Thursday] night, right?

Paquin Estrada

I want to congratulate David on his victory. We both gave the voters a definitive choice, and they chose David's position over mine.

Richard Feinberg

We've turned our attention to helping the Republican Party and other committees to make sure that President Bush doesn't have a lonely victory.

Scott Stanzel

This is a significant victory because the case is still alive.

Dan Boyce

Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.

General George S. Patton

The vote was a vote for common sense and basic fairness. It is a victory for Florida taxpayers, working families and businesses who can all breathe a little bit easier knowing that once this legislation is signed they'll be less likely to be targeted for a lawsuit simply because they have the ability to pay.

Slade O'brien

[COLUMBIA CITY - Brittney Kyler finished with a round of 41 and Natosha Wood finished the day right behind her with with a 42 as the Columbia City High School Lady Eagles' golf team edged Leo at Eagle Glen Golf Course, 180-184.] We escaped with a victory in this match, ... This was a match where they had the lead, we caught up and went ahead, and then we tried to give away.

Jim Thompson

It's a very poor village. There is no other help for them from anyone other than He Intends Victory.

Bruce Sonnenberg

[The result ended United's winning streak at four and its unbeaten run at six, and provided the Galaxy with its first victory outside Southern California in nearly 14 months. (Los Angeles's two previous road wins this year were against Chivas, a lowly Los Angeles-based expansion team.)] We were flying high for a while, ... and this grounds us a little bit.

Nick Rimando

From a symbolic perspective, this is a very important election for Japan as a victory for Koizumi and the coalition would be the most powerful signal yet that the economic model in Japan will change. Ultimately the economic cycle will prove a more significant driver of share prices.

Robert Mckillop

You dream about this all your life. This victory is like a dream come true for me.

Bryan Goodman

This was a great team victory today. I am so proud of these guys. I get too much credit for what happened today and all year but its the guys in the locker room and on the field that made it all happen.

Steve Kragthorpe

This victory was a tribute to the heart of our team and our tenacity. We learned from some of the mistakes we made yesterday (at UCLA), won some close races and were a little more focused and tough.

Lea Maurer

I expected more from these guys. I know we've got a lot of new faces, but we don't have time to get a team to jell. It has to happen now. We've got a lot of decisions to make on personnel, and we've got to make sure that we get the adjustments to lead us to victory next week.

Lebron James

All coaches love to win, and Coach Bob has never lost the coach's will to win. He equally loves the academic victory that goes with each graduation of our student-athletes, so the King scholarship will be a lasting tribute to the tradition of academic excellence that he helped create.

Morgan Burke

I'd rather have injuries early in the season than late in the season because it helps us with our depth. If we can get a victory here or there with some second-string guys, by the end of the season, we'll have more depth going into the playoffs.

Jamie Sharper

We did what we had to do to win. We are fighting for that third playoff spot and the kids worked hard for the victory.

Johnny Gonzales

Koizumi's victory means Japan will now, more than ever, take orders from the United States in its foreign policy -- including keeping troops on in Iraq.

Minoru Morita

What I told the girls at halftime was that we could get a moral victory because it was impossible to win. We showed how we could play in the second half. It gives us something positive to build on.

Dale Neibauer

[Super Girl] represents a victory of the grass-roots over the elite culture.

Li Yinhe

Today Real Madrid has won and the future has won. I know what challenges I face after this victory and I take on this responsibility in the knowledge that the only limits of Real Madrid are the dreams of it members.

Florentino Perez

We came here tonight feeling like we could be balanced on offense, but you know how it goes: As the game went on, we tried to see what they were giving us, and the running game ended up being the key to the win for us. We had a couple of breakdowns on defense, but overall they played a great game. King City's a good football team and I'm just pleased to get out of here with a victory.

Craig Johnston

I told myself again and again that feeling tense of the game could only do bad to my match and I never want to repeat the world championships defeat, ... The only secret for my victory today is just to keep my mind well-balanced.

Gao Feng

He's moving his hands and he's moving his toes. It's small things but we'll take them as a victory.

Mike Bassett

Here is a philosophy of boldness to take advantage of every tiny opening toward victory.

Arnold Palmer

They are not my teammates anymore. My teammates are the ones here with me, the Chicago White Sox. It's another team now. I wanted this victory, like all of them. I don't like to lose.

Orlando Hernandez

Amy?s Kitchen is a great victory for the Rogue Valley, ... This company is exactly the kind we want to recruit and retain in Oregon. It?s a tremendous fit, because a lot of the company?s suppliers are from Oregon.

Ted Kulongoski

The Conservatives did a much better job learning from their defeat [in 2004] than the Liberals did from their victory.

Nelson Wiseman

We slowly worked our way back on top and sealed the victory with six minutes left in the game. Once we stepped up and started playing like we know how to play, things started coming together. CD East's goalie and defense had some great saves. They worked hard to keep the ball out of the cage.

Stacy Poe

I call it a defeat for the government to try and put down dissent. As far as a victory [for us], we'll have to wait and see, but it certainly hurt [the prosecution].

Daniel Burns

It felt good to come into Lexington and get a win. This is what it's all about. Come in, get a victory and start 1-0.

Brian Brohm

This town means a lot to me. It's been good to my family and it's been good to me. We worked hard last year. We came in second. It's nice to feel a victory.

Bruce Elder

We had no other option, only victory ... I believe we did well and we're on our way to a good stage.

Ratomir Dujkovic

The kids played about the best they have since I have been here. So I was really proud of them even though we lost. It was still a moral victory for us.

Jeff Jennewein

If they beat us, it will be their biggest victory ever. It means a lot to them. But it means a lot to us, too.

Greg Blue

It was a very good victory. The game was closer than the four to nothing score indicates.

Dr. Doug Moore

This confirmation is also a victory for the nominee, President Bush, and, most of all, the U.S. Senate. Finally, it is a victory for the U.S. Supreme Court which will be led into the 21st century by a brilliant, principled Chief Justice.

Spencer Abraham

It's a great victory to have approved access. It comes at a cost.

Bob Honts

That is a great victory for us. Because it was clear that the government and they showed in their closing argument they really wanted to equate us with violent change. And it is clear that the jury understood our message of non-violence.

Saint Patrick

All of my countrymen are hoping that I win this fight. If I beat Morales, it will be a great honor for me to go back to the Philippines with the victory. I want this very much for my country, it will be good for my country and my fans.

Manny Pacquiao

Last Friday was a situation where it was pretty much a victory alone just coming to the game because of the situation and the tragedy that happened. We were flat and made a lot of mental errors, and we didn't play how we play West Brook baseball.

Jacob Walton

[Peterson followed up the Tosa West game by scoring the lone goal of a 1-0 victory over rival New Berlin West in double overtime on Wednesday.] Tyler always comes through when we need one, ... He really steps it up when the competition gets tough.

Jim Keller

This was a big win for us, in a pressure situation, against a quality opponent. Breckenridge has won many tournaments, and we haven't. We stepped up, and played well enough to win. I told them, 'Beating a great team in a great arena, is a great victory. We're playing a great team. This is a great arena, and this is going to be a great victory.' And that's all I said.

Gary Stanglewicz

We will try to register a victory over Hong Kong availing the home condition.

Arif Khan Joy

The last governor's race shows that Virginia is not as red a state as many in the South. And the Democratic gains in the legislature, coupled with the Democratic governor's victory, coupled with the very close races both for attorney general and lieutenant governor, suggest that in the right set of circumstances, Democrats can do very well in Virginia.

Stephen Farnsworth

I'm very optimistic about the football team. John does a great job getting them ready, ... The [Super Bowl victory] built their expectations and the challenge is there for them this season.

Brian Foley

It's always nice to get a victory on the road in our conference. Tony Chung got his first varsity action this year in singles and won handily. We're looking forward to playing Fort Dodge at home next Tuesday. It should be an outstanding dual and will let us know where we stand against a very, very good team.

Cary Justmann

If I play to my best form, I could beat anyone. I dream to win this tournament, although it is difficult in front of a Romanian public who expect a victory.

Andrei Pavel

We haven't had a concentrated game with effort in 40 minutes in every game. Our guys think that if they put on the uniform, it guarantees you a victory. That's not the case with so much parity these days. Teams don't fear Arizona like they have in the past.

Miles Simon

Since the U.S. election ended with the expected Bush victory, the market's focus has moved to U.S. corporate earnings and monetary policy there.

Hiroyuki Nakai

The Bush administration should first confess it has made a major error in pressing for elections too quickly. [It should also] look at the Palestinian Authority as it would a place where Nazis or Communists have won electoral victory, that is, as an enemy, and send it no further funding or other aid.

Daniel Pipes

Only victory could prove my world number one ranking. The final was tough, but I won.

Lin Dan

This extreme abortion ban would have threatened the health and lives of women across this state. This is a great victory for the women of Mississippi and speaks to an active and growing pro-choice voice in the state that is fighting to ensure that all women can access the reproductive health care they need.

Nsombi Lambright

I had expected there to be some more hearings. I would have expected him to entertain witnesses, but not engage in the full-fledged discovery that Microsoft wanted. That would have given them a little victory, and to the extent where if the court of appeals disagrees with him, it would be on the merits, not the process.

Spencer Waller

It's a really big win for the seniors. Our last game ever against Salisbury was a victory.

Ben Cox

We respect Porto and know the game will be difficult, but we want victory at all costs and we know we can achieve it.

Javier Zanetti

I don't want to count my blessings before it happens, but this is a major victory for us. It shows the strong intent of the Legislature and also the people.

Ron Iwami

Perhaps we will drink a drop of champagne. This is an undeniable victory for a social movement.

Gerard Aschieri

It's a huge victory for tobacco lawyers.

Bill Novelli

I reached a major goal of mine today. It's a dream come true. It's a classic and a victory means a lot on such a difficult course.

Benjamin Raich

There is no way in the world we should be having a discussion about choosing between stadiums for high schools, Victory Stadium and libraries in the same sentence.

Carl Cooper

It might be a little much to call it a victory tour, ... But that's the mind-set we're going into it with. We're going to make sure we go out on the highest level.

Al Michaels

Against Lakeside (on Feb. 4), he hit three free throws at the end to clinch the win. It was a big victory for us.

Joffrey Bywater

We were just happy to get out of there with a much needed victory.

Shawn French

This is a huge victory. My candidacy shows that the river of discontent is real and people are ready for a change. They want a county judge that looks after their interests and does not consider taxpayers as cash cows for every whim of government.

Keith Self

Koizumi's major victory in the election may push forward discussions on raising the consumption tax. But Koizumi is unlikely to change his stance of not raising the tax during his tenure, so any tax increase would be after 2007.

Takehiro Sato

Our district is crazy. I've never seen anything like this year in my 18 years. All eight teams are capable of getting the number one seed. This victory will certainly help us get closer to that.

Mark Hermann
