It was a mental victory more than anything else. I am very proud of my team because it is very, very difficult to beat Germany especially when they are at home.

Carlos Alberto Parreira

I hope this was a sign of us growing up. We definitely needed this victory.

Leonard Hamilton

We are all amateur players, therefore playing against major league players is the greatest victory for us.

Frederich Cepeda

Not for a second did I think it was going to turn out this way. The bottom line is an innocent athlete was suspended from competition. You could say it's a victory for USADA (U.S. Anti Doping Agency), but I think it's better to say it's a tragedy for all athletes. I'm innocent.

Tyler Hamilton

Once we turned it around, we got the floor spread well and shared the basketball. To come out of this place with a 20 point victory makes me happy. Katie Jo had a really good game for us and Amanda Boyd is stepping up.

Paul Tetreault

[Some participants were disappointed.] I was expecting a bigger celebration, ... It doesn't fit the size of the victory.

Abu Abdullah

What happened was going to happen. You can't win a grand tour without a strong team. I was the best rider and with a stronger team the victory wouldn't have slipped out of my hands. But my team came here with few expectations. After winning one stage, we already fulfilled them.

Denis Menchov

This is a huge victory for the environment, and for the campaign headed up by us and other organizations.

Pascal Husting

Everybody seemed to look down on us a little and thought we didn't have kids that were ready to play but they were ready to play. I think everybody was on point tonight, they were just hungry. Seniors stepped up. Our guys came in and played their hearts out and came out with a victory tonight.

Mike Gainey

[Describing the Monday ruling as a] victory for parental rights, ... This decision does not sound the death knell of grandparent visitation. ... I don't think this is going to have a large impact on other states, who have safeguards built to protect fit parents.

David Hudson

This president failed to tell the American people what he knew about the consequences of military victory in Iraq.

Bob Graham

Victory makes all your ideas look smarter.

Steve Jarding

This was absolutely a total team effort. Our defense has been a brick wall and just played the game of their lives. They earned this victory through hard work in practice.

Philip Fretz

It was a tough game to play, coming off the back end of exams and an emotional victory over New Britain on Martin Luther King Day. We played well enough to take care of business. I'm not happy or upset with our effort.

Vin Cianfarani

Emotionally, this was a big victory for us. We're planning on seeing Academy at least two more times this season and probably three.

Nick Vandewalle

How banal, yet irrefutable, is the assertion that [a person] is a mixture of the 'angelic' and the 'demonic.' ... A true politician... can be neither... 'an angel' nor 'a demon... .' [Politicians] cannot be so if [they are] to... negotiate with courage and skill on the razor's edge between victory and defeat, life and death.

Milovan Djilas

Defeat has its lessons as well as victory.

Patrick Buchanan

Coming in to play the New England Patriots, who are have won 21 straight games at home, we knew it was a big game for us, ... They're a great team. We just wanted to come in and get the victory.

Stephen Cooper

It's a report that both sides can claim victory about. I don't think it will settle the issue.

Dave Cortese

This was a good win. The kids played very well. I'm happy with the victory.

Mike Angel

Our goals are to achieve victory for our Democratic candidates and we do that by banding together.

Irene Stein

We will not be beaten. But we may be shamed and embarrassed on a needlessly long road to victory.

Ralph Peters

I don't burden him with election things other than that we won. He's aware of the victory. He's happy.

Todd Stroger

We need to be sharper on the field and play better as a team. Don't get me wrong. I'll take a 31-3 victory any day of the week, but we know we can do even better.

Steve Lapham

The U.S. government's agreement with Starbucks represents a major victory for the right of Starbucks baristas around the country to join a union.

Daniel Gross

Butler is so talented and defend very well. It was a great victory for us because it proves that we can play with anybody.

George Williams

Hallie hit some big free throws down the stretch to ice the victory.

Mychal Williams

The very fact that the dangerous process, which began with the (IAEA) resolution of September 24, has stopped constitutes a diplomatic victory.

Hossein Entezami

To go on the road in the ACC and come away with the victory, you have to have a lot of people play very well. I thought our players played with a tremendous amount of focus and aggressiveness.

Leonard Hamilton

It's not a personal victory, it's a victory for the Haitian people. This victory showed that we will break the spine of the status quo that has done nothing for this country in over 200 years.

Dumarsais Simeus

There are still some exceptional teams in the section. Obviously, at the moment, Upper St. Clair and Peters Township are the top two. We're fortunate that we got the first victory.

Terry Adams

Sincerely, we wish and hope that China would have the honor to earn the auspicious Olympic Games in 2008 and we will share with their victory.

Annette Lu

We came out against a very good Fountain Hills team and didn't play our best game, but it was still enough to eke out a victory.

Duane Despain

I'm so excited. Everybody pulled together tonight and we got the victory.

Jenna Smith

It was a good victory for us, ... It wasn't one of our best games, but we had some great individual performances.

Tommy Tuberville

We did a better job controlling the ball than we have in some of our losses, and when we win the turnover battle, we are usually in good shape. Cleveland South is a darn good team and very athletic, so it is good to get out of here with a victory.

Dennis Reilly

Victory promotes the hell out of test drives. Let the customer ride the motorcycle, and it'll sell. They're that confident of what they're building.

John Costa

[According to Silberman, Ginsberg, who died in 1997, saw the trial as an important victory.] Allen felt it was a huge breakthrough for honesty, for candor, for accuracy, ... Whatever was true was poetry.

Steve Silberman

I think our kids are confident. They look forward to playing and they think they can win. That's not cocky at all. We're not predicting victory by any means, but I think we'll be confident. This will be the best team we play all year long by far, so we'll know our strengths and weaknesses.

Watson Brown

[In foreign women's soccer action last weekend, SK Berlaar was beaten by KV Mechelen, 50-1. And somehow the losers were able to find a moral victory in the college football equivalent of USC beating Florida International, 650-13. Down, 27-0, at halftime,] we were able to recover, ... We had to stomach only 23 goals.

Charlotte Jacobs

The industry is doing remarkably well. It seems to be back from the ashes sooner than anyone anticipated. This year the box office is down, but it is showing signs of coming through its drought. There's a strong summer slate and a strong fall slate coming. Perhaps this year can be flat or maybe even ahead a little bit. Flat would be a victory.

Bishop Cheen

It's a rebuke to the Bush administration, but it's not any great victory for one side or the other.

Neil Siegel

This was a good victory for our team. But I feel our team doesn't get a lot of respect. We want more respect, and it feels really good to beat another county team.

Jeff Wehling

The increase in the world's population represents our victory against death...

Julian Simon

At least is was a victory and at least we won.

Bobby Moore

What a great defensive stand here at the end. Michael Young sealed the deal for us. It's a great victory for our players. They worked hard and they deserve it.

Larry Sherrill

While a Koizumi win was priced in, such a decisive victory ... is more than most were expecting. Koizumi will now be able to push his reform agenda with a much freer hand.

Kirby Daley

I was kind of under the impression that very little research was meaningful in medicine ? that their work was frivolous. Every time I was able to deny a project, I felt I had gained a victory that these animals didn't have to be used in research.

Scott Anderson

We're still playing hard. We're going to get one (a victory). We want to be playing our best team basketball down the stretch, and we're getting there.

Willie Schlepp

England have been the better team and probably deserve to be ahead. They have dominated the past two Tests but have come away with only a two-run victory and one-sided draw.

Mark Waugh

It's still a victory. I think we've made some tremendous strides.

Ron Fretts

A major victory for the South African government -- and the rest of the continent -- over the drugs companies.

Charlayne Hunter gault

We are going to win tomorrow. I am convinced we are on track for victory.

David Dreier

This is our post-season play. We have been beaten up by every team in the conference. We haven't gotten one conference victory. Yet, I haven't lost faith in this team. I think they are angry with themselves, disappointed in themselves, but I think we are all committed to erase all that anger and disappointment by having a successful meet.

Ray Corn

I think that's what the whole 12th-man thing has done. It's made them really feel like they are part of every victory.

Warren Moon

It was an out-of-control victory.

Scott Pruett

I have a bitter taste after this victory.

Cosmin Olaroiu

Shareholders have the guaranteed right to vote on the poison pill now, and on subsequent poison pills for the next 20 years. This is a great victory.

Stuart Grant

This is fantastic! This is a huge victory -- it's what democracy looks like in action and what our troops have been fighting for.

Rachel Friedman

I thought our depth was important (in the victory). We started to wear them down.

Brian Robinson

The big thing was we didn't play well ... but we came out with a victory, which is always a positive.

Al Way

We don't look at it as struggle. We look at it as a victory. We won the West. That was our first job. The next goal is to win the next one.

Mark Sweeney

[The U.S. victory in Gulf war was] a stirring victory for the forces of aggression.

Dan Quayle

It feels good coming back from 2-4 in the season and a lot of people writing us off. We played as a team and wanted to go out on a high note. It was a great victory.

Stephen Tulloch

We must allow people to circulate and life to resume normally because we have just won a big victory. The International Working Group's decision has been cancelled and we are returning home.

Charles Ble Goude

A small victory was achieved for Palestine today, and we thank you all for that. That shall be a big victory.

Nasser Al kidwa

To get enough to eat was regarded as an achievement. To get drunk was a victory.

Brendan Behan

I thought the kids played hard and took care of the basketball. We just went through some cold stretches, and we couldn't get enough defensive stops to get the victory.

Dave Lutz

[Williams could. The fifth overall pick in the draft said he talked to his father the other day about what to expect in his first game. They appeared to assume victory, so what were the specifics for the young tailback?] We said 150 yards, ... So I came up a little short.

Carnell Williams

This is a huge win for the Wildcats. These girls are a very competitive group of young athletes who have tasted victory and hate to lose.

Mike Cowan

To be honest, I think the coaches were more excited than the players. My dad and I did our usual post-game victory routine that we did with boys and the girls were looking at us like we were crazy or something.

Travis Fryback

There are a lot of people that want to send us home feeling like failures because we won bronze. I think we refuse that. What the Olympics is all about is character. And we showed more character and grace in defeat than anybody ever could in victory.

Chanda Gunn

This was a good victory for us. We're just trying to build momentum for the Catholic League and state tournaments.

Greg Esler

We are pleased that Florida has acted in favor of its citizens by allowing them to access the wines of their choosing. This is a victory for consumer choice, fair trade and U.S. wineries.

Robert Koch

She has earned this honor, so, win or lose, the fact that she is going to step on that plane and represent her county is a victory.

Sergio Dato

What's essential is to win. And if it's by two goals, that's better than one. And if it's by three, even better. I think we're superior in terms of our technical ability and we have to use this to make sure of victory. I think we can win both here and there. I'm sure we'll be in Germany.

Luis Aragones

When we got the victory, everybody was celebrating. But I really wasn't celebrating, because we've got to build from this win. We can't just win and get inconsistent. We have to stay consistent.

Charles Rhodes

It was very difficult championship. We are very happy we succeeded this time. It's a victory of all small countries.

Albena Denkova

They know that we tried our hardest. They know that we fought until the very end, but the other team won. They fought for it, and they won and they deserve the victory.

Yoandy Garlobo

This was our first game back after the holidays, and it was good to get everyone out there. It was just a good team victory.

Jim Barker

Milosevic is an indicted war criminal. He belongs in The Hague. He doesn't belong at the helm of the Yugoslav Government. There's no way that Milosevic can claim a victory.

Pj Crowley

A victory would affect people who are very seriously ill, facing death or great physical suffering.

Randy Barnett

We have to carry that on the road. We have to continue like we played the other night and get our first road victory.

Bryant Dillon

Understanding the needs of people is the first step towards victory. People need to see we have the right vision, values and policies. But the bottom line is that to stay in power we have to release power. We know that the new enemy is a sense of powerlessness.

David Miliband

Preval is between a rock and a hard place... He seeks to establish himself as an autonomous political actor in Haitian politics, though his (Feb. 7) election victory was in part based on his links with Aristide.

Dan Erikson

A victory in a lawsuit has never been our goal.

Tom Mooers

[Whitman won four years ago with a promise to cut state income taxes by 30 percent, and did it. Clinton said that sounded good but left a hangover of debt and local taxes, leading to a competitive race] we shouldn't even be having up there because the economy's good with an incumbent governor. ... Even if we come close and do not win, it'll be a great victory for this party.

Roy Romer

I thought this was a great victory because it showed a lot of character. It was all about our work ethic after a slow start.

Darcy Hordichuk

I think it's a big victory for Rosie. Who doesn't?, ... Rosie didn't want this fight. She wouldn't have brought this lawsuit if they didn't sue her (first). She just wanted to show that the claims were unjustified.

Charles Sims

Everybody played together as a team. That's why we got the victory.

Kevin Payne

Koizumi's victory triggered a rally in stocks and fueled optimism about an escape from deflation.

Jun Ishii

There is a kind of victory in good work, no matter how humble.

Jack Kemp

It is not a matter of wishing success to the victim of aggression, but of sharing his fate; one must accompany him to his death or to victory.

Che Guavara

This was a total team effort. We've gone through some tough times and deserved this victory.

Casey Cavanaugh

It's always good to beat good teams, especially when they've beaten you earlier in the year. This victory improves us to 8-4 and will definitely boost our confidence as we prepare for Hazleton next week.

Carlyle Robinson

I think I bounced back well for the next game, and we showed it with a 2-0 victory. We played pretty solid in the back, and the things they did have were just breakdowns, and we handled it well.

Troy Perkins

After having Friday off, it was good to come back and get a victory. The most important thing is we were 18-of-22 from the free-throw line.

Deidre Hinze

At this point, I'm just hoping the younger players begin to gel with the older ones. Hopefully with Twin, we'll see where we are realistically -- if we can compete and possibly pull out a victory. A little confidence-builder, regardless of the score, could go a long way.

Greg Gvozdas

My goal coming into this season was to win my first race and I still haven't accomplished that, ... Our cars will be good at California and it would be a great way to finish the season with a victory. I think we'll be in the hunt right to the end.

Vitor Meira

It's very encouraging they're funding more inspectors. The mine safety bill the legislature passed would have been a hollow victory to some extent without this money to be sure additional inspections can be made.

Kenny Johnson

Had the matter been delayed for a whole month it would have been portrayed by Iran as a victory.

Patrick Clawson

We didn't know what to do, ... I mean we had never been to victory circle and we didn't know the procedure. Looking back, that was pretty funny.

Robert Clarke

This is a Pyrrhic victory for PFS -- just a piece of paper.

Denise Chancellor

His removal is not imminent, but certainly this is a very important victory for us. We hope to prevail ultimately.

Virginia Kice

They gave a lot of teams in our league trouble with that. We exploited the trap (in a 75-67 victory March 4). We played to pass out of it and played 4-on-3 from there. They're so aggressive with it, that it's hard to simulate in practice.

Shaka Smart

It was a landmark victory for the University, and it gave the basketball team a lot of confidence that it can go on someone in the SEC's basketball court and get a victory.

Rickey Broussard

That was the ultimate team victory. Wow.

John Duggan

The reinstatement is only a partial victory, we are now fighting to get our comrades who were arrested released from jail.

Gurudas Dasgupta

It was a tough game. We survived and were able to get a much-needed victory.

Rudy Meredith

According to the map he had fallen three miles behind the front. We had therefore brought him down on enemy ground. Otherwise I should have one more victory to my credit. I was very proud of my success. After all, the chief thing is to bring a fellow down. It does not matter at all whether one is credited for it or not.

Manfred Von Richthofen

Well, that's not what you want. You don't want the right down the road -- you want the right because you love the person you're with. So no victory will be enough.

Diane Marini

My first death penalty victory--made on behalf of the single most offensive legal argument I've ever made. There was no doubt in my mind, in the minds of my colleagues in the public defenders' office or in the minds of ... the Florida Supreme Court that domestic homicide cases tended to be treated very differently from stranger killings.

Michael Mello

When we came over the (U.S. Route 136) bridge, there were about 40 cars and a police escort waiting for us. We took a victory lap around town. It was like a carnival. The kids needed the win, and the town needed the win.

Nate Turner

This is a true victory for a more rational nuclear policy. The proposed weapon, more than 70 times the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, would have caused unparalleled collateral damage.

Stephen Young

What we do know is that the Muslim press heard and reported him saying that he looks forward to normalized relations, that Jews and Muslims need to bridge the gap between them, and that Jews suffered from the Holocaust. That to me is a key victory for us.

Jack Rosen

This is an encouraging victory for me. I summed up a lot after losing to her at the US Open and I hope to continue my form in the future here in Beijing .

Peng Shuai

When they scored and made it 1-1 we suffered. Time seemed to pass very slowly. In the end we made hard work of winning but I think we deserved the victory.

Wanderley Luxemburgo

Despite McLaren's magnificent victory, the team obviously had some kind of tyre issue today.

Pierre Dupasquier

The first one's [victory] always the toughest, especially in foreign territory. You never know what to expect.

Mark Delpercio

Any time you play a close game and come out with a victory, it shows toughness. If you want to be a very good team, you have to expect to win the close ones.

Jon Flanagan

Who in turn hooked me up with the American Cancer Society , the Center for Health and Wellness , Witness in the Heartland , Victory in the Valley and Komen . I had no idea that all these places exist and they co-exist with a partnership that is just awesome.

Lena Young

We feel like those [close] games have prepared us for our area tournament. We've been in several close games and recently we've been able to keep our composure and earn a victory.

Tony Pittman

We always escape with a victory. But it's just always been tough to go over there.

Armando Padilla

It was anybody's ballgame until the middle of the fourth quarter. The margin of victory was not a good indication of how close the ballgame was.

Billy Pee

It was an overall team victory. There weren't just a couple of superstars on the team.

Rick Pillsbury

There's no doubt that, especially after George W. Bush's victory in (the Texas election) this past November, that Latinos are now on the national radar, ... New American Foundation.

Gregory Rodriguez

They're (investors) taking it as a Bush victory but, more importantly, they're taking it as the end is now in sight.

Linda Jay

We know Du is one of their best players and that he can do some damage. I am sure there will be some sort of line match ups. But we're just looking at going out there very hard and hopefully we come out with a victory.

Travis Wight

Katrina was so long ago for so many people. Even if we only raise $100, it raises awareness. Relief takes years and months, not weeks and days. Hopefully it will be a moral victory.

Christopher Shim

I was very proud of the way the boys finished the game. They were able to find a way to overcome adversity and turn a near disaster into a very exciting, last-minute victory.

Will Sandy

One of the lasting ironies in classical music, ... we use this piece written by a Russian to celebrate victory over the French in the 19th century.

Keith Lockhart

[It was the pre-season CAA-favored Rams' first conference victory (1-1-1). O'Sullivan has made a number of lineup alterations, among them moving senior left back Stephen Shirley to holding central midfielder.] In the last two weeks, he has been one of the bright spots, ... He has become an on-field leader we did not have.

Tim O'sullivan

The text is a failure for development and a victory for corporate globalization.

Walden Bello

The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.

Yasser Arafat

One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it.

Pedro Calderon De La Barca

I wasn't concerned that they wouldn't come out ready. The only concern I had, and it's kind of like the feeling I have now, I loved the victory, but it's not the feeling I had Monday night against Valley Christian. That was an emotional game, that was a war.

Lonnie Tvrdy

We picked up Victory after we were in business about a year. They flew us out to the factory to try out the bikes in person. We already knew they were the best cruiser bikes for the money out there. Victory is the fastest-growing cruising bike brand on the market. It's an outstanding motorcycle.

Gregory Faiella

There were loudspeakers in the camps relaying the news. The Hungarians in the camp congratulated us! Finally, they said, a communist team did not win. The World Cup was seen as a victory against the communists.

Lothar Scholz

Our victory was stolen from us. After a court decision, we found ourselves in a difficult situation, and it is important for us at present to strengthen our organization, rather than dwell on things past.

Dmitry Rogozin

We can't yet claim a victory but I'm certainly not conceding defeat.

Don Brash

It's really a hollow victory.

Jamie Ross

We talked about the last key of the game ... the fifth key was playoff mentality. 64 teams in Division 4 played one game, so they are one-and-done. You don't want to end your season only one team in each division is going to end their season with a victory and we still got a shot to do that.

Kyle Krueger

I am so happy. I have been working hard for this victory, but today all the work paid off.

Lars Bystoel

We would undermine the morale of our troops by betraying the cause for which they have sacrificed. To retreat before victory would be an act of recklessness.

Blair Jones

(Playing games) becomes something that you look forward to every day when you wake up. You just go out and try to get a victory every day.

Kyle Kannenberg

We just can't find the way to close out games in the final two minutes. Our effort was there again in the entire game, but our mental lapses on both ends of the floor cost us a good chance at a victory.

Dirk Besko

It was a chilly and windy today and that caused the scores to be a little higher. I was very happy with how we played in these conditions and it's great to get another victory and keep our momentum going.

Nicole Hollingsworth

We fought hard to get this victory after the tough loss on Wednesday at Rice. This team showed a lot of character and heart in getting this done tonight.

Michael Center

The industry has been trying to get around existing consumer protection provision by the way they set up their contracts. This is a complete and total victory for consumers.

Abigail Caplovitz

(It was) another thrilling victory for us. My girls are resilient. They refuse to lose.

Charlie Reppel

Now we must ensure a free and fair election. This is a big victory for democracy.

Ranil Wickremesinghe

It wasn't a clean victory at all - three errors and stuff like that - but I think this one really showed our team's character.

Ryan Quintal

We didn't really take advantage on the boards like we should have but, hey, it's a nice victory. We have to work for everything we get and it's nice that at least we're not in the cellar of the league now.

Rich Herrin

I felt like we got some good things accomplished tonight. We just have to be able to finish the game and come away with the victory.

Tyson Chandler

We aimed for victory but we made errors. My players showed how strong they are, fighting until the last minute.

Cosmin Olaroiu

I never thought of this being a sweet 16, but it is. This was great victory because we knew Merrill was going to battle. It was a great victory and exciting match. Merrill won some close ones and so did we.

Lewie Benitz

Our struggle can end only in victory.

Ali Kerimli

They kept the ballgame close, making free throws. We kept it close because of turnovers, but we did compete down the stretch. I thought our girls played extremely hard. It was a good victory for us.

Johnny Jones

I don't want to fool anyone, we should win and it should be a strong victory. But we have to be very serious about it.

Nicolas Massu

Victory Stadium, I'm surprised it's not No. 1. It tells me that the people who are in position to effect a huge paradigm shift are the same people - the same type of people - in position 50 or 60 years ago.

Aaron Lee

We lost one match at Euro, we tied the second, and now it's time for a victory.

Mihails Zemlinskis

The win in flying and the victory in Japan will give me a lot of confidence in the Olympics.

Roar Ljoekelsoey

[This was probably the most complained-about feature of the broadcasts. The English broadcasters made it clear where their loyalties lay by sometimes referring to the England team as] we ... We'll take a victory anyhow.

Geoff Boycott

All in all this is a victory for the security forces and for the settlers.

Dan Harel

There are shared views (between Harper and Bush) that could help resolve some issues. It's probably the area that would be the most directly and immediately affected by a Conservative Party victory.

Pierre Martin

It was sweet to taste victory again. The kids worked hard. Hilton did a nice job of holding their leading scorer - Katie Goldberg - to only 10 points.

Bob Souliere

The conference will be very competitive. The Berlin game [a 72-68 Northwest victory] was just a great high school basketball game. There is still a lot of basketball to be played.

John Mirabello

I am glad to get out of here with a win. This game got really sloppy and it looked like we were starting to let it slip away. I am proud that we finished strong and earned the victory. I thought we shot the ball extremely well in the first half and that really went a long way towards this win. This is a big win for our young team in a very difficult place to play.

Bart Lundy

It was a comfortable victory and a pleasing aspect was the camaraderie shown by the players. They are now used to playing in a team environment and enjoy the competitive aspect.

Paul Gibson

I don't consider it a victory, it just had to be done.

Phil Hanson

The court decision is another important victory for medical innovators who invest in high-risk research to develop life saving medicines, as well as for the patients who benefit from those medicines.

Jeffrey Kindler

I would say Tennessee has more talent than Alabama, both sides of the ball. Our defense, if we come out with the right state of mind, playing hard, we should come out with a good victory. I can't say how [good]. The way our defense has played the last four weeks, anything is possible. It could be a blowout or just a regular victory.

Jeremy Mincey

Today's vote to raise the cigarette tax was a clear sign of support for our state's children, both for their health and their education. It's also a victory for tens of thousands of Texans of all ages who will quit smoking – or never start – because of the higher cigarette tax.

Kirsten Voinis

We see today's decision as a significant victory for women's privacy. We don't mind being investigated. What we've said throughout this is that he doesn't have the right to investigate our patients.

Peter Brownlie

The victory is now far behind us and we must concentrate on nothing else but the match against Tunisia. Only a victory will be good enough.

Ted Dumitru

We're going to try to finish out (the first district cycle) with a victory against Hallsville. I expect them to play lights out, because when we play them they become unconscious, more times than not. There's nothing we can do about it.

Rick Dowdle

That feels great. It did feel great, but this is a team victory and we control our own destiny. If we can come out and next week win the division, that will be an even sweeter feeling.

Cadillac Williams

As long as we come away with a victory, that's all that matters. We lost the past two games in the fourth quarter, and tonight we almost let one slip away. ... No matter what adversity hits us, we've just got to keep on playing.

Joel Przybilla

I hate even discussing moral victories, but I was happy (last night). I obviously would have liked to win, but if there is such a thing as a moral victory, we had it. We didn't quit.

Paul Moran

I believe I can be the person who can bring together conservatives across this country in a spirit of cooperation so that we can once again form government. This is not an agreement for merger with other political parties. Merger is a mathematical equation which does not guarantee victory.

Peter Mackay

We need to reform the constitution as fast as possible and have a new election. We have not finished our duty yet. We still need constitutional reform -- that will be a real victory for us.

Parnthep Pourpongpan

It was a fantastic atmosphere, they were pushing me all the way, I couldn't wish for more. This was the biggest victory for me.

Dominik Hrbaty

I want to look ahead, but we've got to stay focused and try to get this victory.

Corey Claitt

Now that we have that victory, we're more convinced of the validity of our patents.

Daniel Méndez

We got a lead and got complacent and didn't finish the game. My bench was lackadaisical, my team was lackadaisical and we're happy to end with a victory but we'd like to do it without letting them come back.

Ron Lievense

We have to play our game. It's a sweet victory when you win up there. I can't wait.

Lindsay Frederick

It's a big disappointment because we missed an opportunity to play the final but Sedan's victory is a deserved one. They tried harder than we did and created more chances.

Didier Deschamps

Mo guaranteed me some new players, and a kind of football, more offensive. He didn't guarantee me victory, but to try, it was very important to me.

Youri Djorkaeff

The bullpen did a good job, came in and settled things down. And we came away with another good victory.

Mark Hendrickson

This is a great victory for patients and nurses. We have been fighting long and hard to protect the interests of our patients, and we've finally done that.

Melissa Clark

This bill places unprecedented limits on eminent domain abuse. The one glaring shortcoming is the temporary exceptions for Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, but even that does not dampen the near total victory this bill provides.

Dana Berliner

Before watching Sharapova on the court, remember to check out her chances for victory. Sharapova has been on a tear this season, and earlier this month unseated Lindsay Davenport as the No. 1-ranked player in women's tennis.

Calvin Ayre

What great sportsmanship, ... I think we can cope with victory now. We've outperformed the Aussies all summer.

John James

Only four guys at each weight go out with a victory. I didn't want to end with a loss.

Tyler Thornton

As a defensive team you want to get off the field. They were able to come up with the plays and the schemes -- whatever it was -- we weren't doing, they did it and they came up with a victory.

Rosevelt Colvin

I don't want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny - Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.

Margaret Chase Smith

We're ready to go to trial. We think that the judge has made the correct decisions. We think the writ was frivolous, invalid as described, and if you characterize that as a victory, so be it.

Joe Owmby

When game time comes along, I think we'll be focused and ready. We take pride in this and want to win every game we play. We've still got a lot left to prove; we want to go out and get a 30-point victory ourselves.

Marcus Hall

I think that here, our whole current state was revealed during these 12 days. An emotionally-charged victory over Canada, and then total breakdown.

Vyacheslav Fetisov

We hold all of our matches as important. We treat every match the same way, but it's nice to end this home stretch on a victory.
