The math just didn't ordsprog

en The math just didn't figure out, ... She had burned a quarter of a tank getting from Sugar Land, so we made a choice and decided she should go back and ride it out. Things went off without a hitch, and we're very blessed.

en It was a highly flammable tank, but the tank didn't explode. It burned in the area around the tank.

en Midway through the third quarter, I was working on my math skills. I said to one of the assistants, 'We're up what?' I couldn't figure out what it was. No one could have expected this. I had to look up at the scoreboard a couple of times to make sure the math was right.

en I knew I could make a good living working in the mills, ... I decided I didn't want to fuss with the rest of it, so I hitch-hiked back home.

en We were down seven coming back after the half, and Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson hadn't sniffed a lick. You figure if you got those two guys going we've got a legitimate shot, but we just fell in the tank in the third quarter.

en I give our kids a lot of credit for coming up with that third quarter. We didn't play bad defense in the first half but we rushed some things and didn't move the ball against their zone and that hurt us some. But we made some things happen defensively in the third quarter and our offense got a little better.

en The second quarter was definitely the difference. We knew we didn't have a very good first quarter and we decided to change things a little in the second.

en Our kids showed a lot of character. Things weren't going right in the first half. They decided at halftime that we were going to get back into this game. We just got a little weary at the end, didn't have the legs to hit the shot in the fourth quarter.

en Every single wagon going to Oregon had a tub of maple sugar in it. They didn't have bags of white sugar from the store. It was called tub sugar and later soft sugar.

en Americans pay more for a tank of gas today than they do for two years worth of sugar. And taxpayers aren't footing the bill for these low, stable prices because sugar farmers don't receive subsidy checks.

en We used to ride socially almost every day. But a lot of us didn't know that black cowboys even existed back then. It was like, 'You gotta be kidding me!' That's when we decided that people needed to know about this.

en I feel blessed, and everything now is sugar inside the icing on the cake. 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease. I look at things differently, but I'm still serious.

en We human beings do have some genuine freedom of choice and therefore some effective control over our own destinies. I am not a determinist. But I also believe that the decisive choice is seldom the latest choice in the series. More often than not, it will turn out to be some choice made relatively far back in the past.
  Arnold Toynbee

en A rubber O-ring failed, the flames leaked out, burned through the orange (fuel) tank, exploded the oxygen and hydrogen, and the shuttle never made it into orbit.

en (W)hen I stopped understanding math and science, my choice was made.
