“That's been a trademark of our football team. We go out every Saturday and try to play with intensity, we try to play with emotion, and we try to play with a chip on our shoulder. Until we do that, we're just an average team. When we do that, we can really step up to a challenge.”

“My first big challenge, and I knew that from the word go, was going to be to get citizen support and trust back toward the agency. How can you expect someone to trust you when you have the high sheriff himself being arrested? I had to build some trust and faith in this office from the people.”

“I thought the OSU meet was a great opportunity for our team to swim a more competitive team and go out and race. We were challenged, and it was a help to get us ready for racing at the conference championships. Buffalo was more of a cap-off to the season where we were able to swim some different events and enjoy ourselves a bit.”

“When you're looking for innovative and creative solutions to problems, the more diverse perspective you can bring, the more likely you can come up with a good solution. We've got to do a better job of describing what engineering is and stimulating the imagination of young people to understand there is some really challenging and interesting work in this field.”

“"A man is not primarily a witness against something. That is only incidental to the fact that he is a witness for something. A witness, in the sense that I am using the word, is a man whose life and faith are so completely one that when the challenge comes to step out and testify for his faith, he does so, disregarding all risks, accepting all consequences.”

“I'm thrilled with (the way it turned out). I don't see how I could do better work. I got all the content in there that I wanted. I think it worked out real well. I think it's an extreme amount of information. I would challenge someone to put that much information in an enhanced CD.”

“Each class represents a different challenge. For instance, this semester I have public speaking first block, an honors English class second block. and a standard English class during the fourth block, so I have students from all ability levels. Usually my kids are motivated, but if not, I do my best to.”

“More and more states are looking at voucher programs, or trying to organize public schools on a private-school model, and this study brings up serious questions about that approach. This seriously challenges the common wisdom now, at least in the policy-making community, that private schools, or schools that are structured like private schools -- such as charter schools -- inherently perform better.”

“That's the strength of our team. Our progress will continue to be measured by running and our offensive line. That's where we'll hitch our success. After last week, against an opponent where the only challenge was having to play against them and we didn't get much work in, it was important for these youngsters to get this full-game test.”

“I personally look at acting-at least for television-as an occupation for the mentally challenged. It's not a real job for real people who have any skill. I mean, they tell you what to say. They pick out all your clothes, and put your name on your chair in case you can't figure out where to sit.”
