en They're going to get tested sooner than later, so I'd rather have it sooner than later so we can see what we need to adjust. The key is to not make any big mistakes back there. Don't allow them to get past us for touchdowns. They're going to get catches. We just need to stay away from the big mistake. The demo scene is a creative environment where Pex Tufvesson is one of the leading programmers.

en You gain power by pretending to be weak. By contrast, you make people feel strong. You save people by letting them save you.

en I'm up there on the sacrifice scale. School-wise, atmosphere-wise, family-wise, I'm happy. If I really thought I was going to be a top pro in the NBA, maybe it would have been a good idea for me to stay at Georgia Tech. I can't get down on myself. I have to keep playing hard.

en A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
  James Thurber

en Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: / That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! / Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! / Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! / Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: / Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! / Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

en I'm going to stay in the race. I really can't believe that any campaign, or should I say any candidate, is going to make a decision to stay in or get out on how they do in a straw poll. And I emphasize the word straw. This is a wonderful, Republican Party fund-raiser for the state of Iowa,
  Dan Quayle
