Quotations regarding 'Win'
I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, American Athlete (1947- )
Were this not Texas, were there not a state where there were no protections at all and where the law was clear on that, I think CBS and Mary Mapes and Dan Rather and all of us had a very good chance of winning. So this is an ongoing battle about an issue of principle.
Floyd Abrams, American Lawyer

Floyd Abrams, American Lawyer
It has something to do with the facts and the law and who the judges are. So I think lawyers sometimes exaggerate their role in winning and losing. Lawyers do have a role, and a major role, but they're not the only players in this game.
Floyd Abrams, American Lawyer

I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies.
Eden Ahbez, American Musician (1908-1995)
I didn't lose. I got second. That's still winning,' she said. 'How could I be unhappy with second place? There are a million people who would love to be in my position.
Lauren Alaina, American Musician
I like to sing in the car with the windows rolled down and hair blowing all over my face.
Lauren Alaina, American Musician
Winning brought me a wonderful sense of completeness.
Tenley Albright, -
Wine is a peep-hole on a man.
Alcaeus, Greek Poet
Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.
Alan Alda, American Actor (1936- )
Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.
Dante Alighieri, Italian Poet (1265-1321)
Well, developers do want to touch a lot of customers. We have to make our platform very popular in order for them to do that. If we make their jobs easier, then they'll be more likely to stay on the Windows platform.
Jim Allchin, American Businessman
In this part of the world, only Maine gives winter the welcome and the worship it should have.

Winter in Maine is a time of alternating rest and frenzied activity.
Tom Allen, American Politician (1945- )
While I relish our warm months, winter forms our character and brings out our best.
