John Quotations | Page 3

What you get in the Cold War is 'the wilderness of mirrors' where you have to figure out what's good and what's evil. That's good for John le Carre, but not me.

iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up.

John F. Kennedy, the man I had thought would define the political ideal for the rest of my days, was suddenly gone in the senseless violence of a single moment.

My mentor in the transition from the old Gabriel Heatter and John Cameron Swayze way of doing things was David Brinkley. He brought an entirely different style to what we were doing.

Like John Kennedy in 1960, Obama combines youth, vigor, and good looks with the promise of political change. Like Kennedy, he grew up in unusual circumstances that distance him from ordinary American life.

Put it this way: If I had to go back to 1968 and wear the makeup that John Chambers made for the original 'Planet of the Apes' series, I think I would rather wear a unitard.

When I watch professional football, I love listening to John Madden because I know he knows what he's talking about. He's been both down in the trenches and in front of the bench as a coach. He knows the game.

John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.

John Barth, I think, was really a writer of my own age and somewhat of my own temperament, although his books are very different from mine, and he has been a spokesman for the very ambitious, long, rather academic novel. But I don't think that what he is saying, so far as I understand it, is so very different from what I'm saying.

The power here can be a driving force in the community for both good and bad, and so you have to elect someone you can trust to not abuse those powers, and I feel really confident that John is in that category.

We applaud the five judiciary members who voted their conscience and took a principled position in opposition to the nomination of John Roberts to be Chief Justice of the United States. However, we are profoundly disappointed that the committee, as a whole, ignored compelling evidence against his nomination.

We are pleased to welcome John and Will to our Board of Directors. With their depth and breadth of experience, they bring relevant knowledge of the industry and an important financial perspective, which we believe will enhance the goals of the Company.

We are making a big commitment to emphasizing enterprise reporting, and John helps us immeasurably increase our ability to break stories and report news that no one else has. He's well-trained and well-connected. He's a digger.

There are certain people in our business that you don't replace - Bob Knight, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzyewski, and you don't replace John Wooden, either.

We're in an enviable position. We have good young players, (high) draft picks and money to spend. Yet we're in last place in our division, so it's logical that people would call John and gauge if we're jittery and feel a need to make a big move. We happen to value our young players, and we're not gonna do anything silly.

We spent the last telecast looking back at the 36 years and saying our goodbyes. And this is the Super Bowl. It's the biggest event of the year; as John (Madden) was saying, we're going to crown a champion. All the focus and efforts will be focused on that.

There is no question that John Faso and I have different opinions of who should be our candidate for governor this year that is clear. But at least our party is providing John an opportunity to seek the nomination.

There is no one better to beat than John Force because when you beat him you beat the best, ... I've won a lot of races before, but never as a team owner. I think it's just starting to sink in. I put a lot of pressure on the guys after Indy, and for them, they worked great this weekend in the heat, under the gun, they pulled through and they got it done. I appreciate that because it proved to me that they're tough, they're strong and they're with me.

There is no member of the House of Representatives more committed to the idea of limited government and economic freedom than John Shadegg.

Yeah, it could be. Interestingly, some national polls show that John McCain would beat Hillary Clinton.

While loyalists and defectors overall said John Smith did a better job of standing up for Labour's values, they put Blair ahead on representing the whole country, appealing beyond traditional Labour voters and offering strong, competent leadership; switchers to the Tories gave him a clear lead in all categories.

Whether looking at pop music, hip-hop or R&B, it's rare to find an artist who hasn't been touched or affected by the power and soul of gospel music. In fact, many of today's popular artists such as Whitney Houston, John Legend, and Katy Perry started their careers in the church choir.

Watching John Elway in Colorado, that goal was actually born before skiing. But the NFL is such a business. Obviously, I would LOVE to play for the Broncos, but I would also love to play for anyone who drafts me.

You don't know who the new justice will be - or whether that justice will be there - and you have more uncertainly about John Roberts than you had with William Rehnquist.

Tomorrow, we'll get a big hug going, and we'll talk about past times, and then the first pitch will be thrown, and he won't see John Cohen, he'll see the enemy. I won't see Pat McMahon, I'll see a team that we're trying to beat. That happens a lot in this league.

We're going to sit down and map out a strategy where John can get the best bang for the party's buck,

We're going to go with two kickers until John is healthy, and then we'll make a decision, ... We are thin at some other positions, but we don't have a choice at this point.

What this country needs is a great poem. John Brown's Body was a step in the right direction. I've read it once, and I'm reading it again. But it's too long to do what I mean. You can't thrill people in 300 pages.

When we began to think about our clients' interests, we discovered a common passion for motorcycles. Therefore, we created an event that is centered on that common passion. This passion for riding, coupled with the need to learn about the latest models of John Deere equipment has led to our employees, vendors and customers having a fantastic day together.

When we do decide, we won't be telling you, so you can keep asking. I'll call up (Panthers coach) John Fox. When I call up John Fox and tell him what we are going to do, then I'll let you guys know. Is that all right?

We would rather have John on the team than play against him, but we'll help him any way we can, ... We are just really thankful that he stayed and played for Baylor for two years.

What happens when our ambassador has to stand up and make the case on intelligence relating to Iraq and North Korea? ... Do you think John Bolton is going to be believed? And do you think it matters? I think it matters a great deal.

We had 10 guys go Division I from our team and Quick is on the team here. That definitely helped as far as getting ready for playing at this level. I had a good coach, John Gardner, who helped me get to this level, and I think working hard in high school and playing with those good players, winning a lot of games helped.

We bought a ticket and got up in the stands. We got there fairly early and were sitting for what seemed like a half hour, 45 minutes, when all of sudden, here comes my truck and my car across the track. I told Darlene, 'I can't believe Big John (Boettcher) brought my car up here.' So I raced. That was my honeymoon.

What makes John a great head coach is he is very clear on what he wants and the direction he wants to go. Some guys have gray areas and some guys away from what they want to do and might not be a fan favorite type of deal. He doesn't sway at all from that. He knows what he wants and what he believes in, and that's the way we try to operate.

What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I'm marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.

Very few people could ever make a commitment to do what John did. He set a goal after he was done playing football that he wanted to become the strongest man in the world. He worked hard enough to do that.

U.S. Rep. John Murtha and Alberto Mora exemplify the kind of courage my father admired most. When others were unwilling to do so, each man recognized a moral obligation to speak out against policies he believed were misguided and contrary to our national interest.

Years ago, during a John Grisham phase, I tried to pinpoint exactly why I found Grisham's often predictable legal thrillers quite so comforting. The best answer I could come up with was the frequency with which Grisham tells us that his lead characters are sipping coffee. When it comes to food and drink, predictability can console.

With the likely nominations of Barack Obama by the Democrats and John McCain by the Republicans, one of these two parties is headed for a 2009 crack-up that could prove as messy as any party civil war in recent history.

With the intensity of the first three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races at Atlanta Motor Speedway, fans have been treated to exciting finishes each race. Fans can expect nothing less than the same for the John Deere 200.

We feel at this point that John isn't going to be back in New York.

We're exploring other possibilities along with the Jets. We feel at this point probably that John will not be back in New York.

We're extremely pleased and fortunate to add someone the caliber of John MacLeod to our coaching staff, ... His impressive resume speaks for itself in terms of his success in the NBA and the experience he has gained in this league. We think he'll make a wonderful addition to our organization and team.

We're hopeful that we can put the last touches on that. We all know that John is an excellent player that I think would be a great addition in terms of the way he plays and the things that he does on the field.

Throughout November, (owner) John Henry, (owner) Tom Werner, Larry and I held discussions to see what lessons could be learned in the aftermath of my departure. Gradually, with the benefit of time and greater perspective, we tackled not only our personal conflicts but also the differences regarding our thoughts for the organization.

Ultimately we have to play better and that responsibility falls with me and with the players. With John coming aboard the players will hear a different voice.

Wow, I sure do miss John hey, groupies!

Would you say that your views are the same as those expressed by John Kennedy when he was a candidate, when he spoke to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association in September of 1960, quote, I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me, close quote?

We're looking forward to having John Samples, a well-rounded candidate, represent the Democratic party in Precinct 4.

We've got John Roberts, a brilliant man. We've got Antonin Scalia ( search ), a brilliant judge. And now with this new selection ... he's a brilliant judge. The conservatives are going to have intellectual firepower that's going to last for decades.

We've very lucky that John is a complete player. He can play an attacking role in the midfield and he can play more of a defensive role.

When your hair is rising, that's when you know it's a good song - that's happened to me with some artists and some songs, John Lennon songs or when Nina Simone sings. It's great to make those moments yourself.

We were hoping to get John going 1-on-1 and creating, either looking to score himself or dishing to one of the big guys underneath or a shooter on the wing. We didn't run the play correctly.

We are here to thank God for the life of coach John Vaught and to celebrate his extraordinary life. He was a public figure but a private man. He was tough but kind.

There is a smell about things which reminds me of the last years of John Major,

There are polls out there that have us even. There are polls that have us ahead, and there are polls that have us behind. And the two things that all the polls agree on are that John Kerry is ahead in battleground states -- and that people who have yet to make a decision are very negative about the president and very negative about the current direction of the country.

We have a year to convince John McCain and the rest of Arizonans about how harmful this measure really is.

The problem with John Kerry is he had his opportunity -- the 2004 Campaign.

When I moved to Los Angeles, I was straight out of grad school, and I didn't have a single credit to my name. I knew one person in town - another actor whose name is John Billingsley. I just had to audition and audition and audition. I was plugging away for 15 years. So I earned my stripes!

We're just thankful having him here and to be spending Christmas together as a family. It's been seven years since John has been here.

We rehearsed in the same place as Curt, so we saw him all the time and everything, but he wasn't in the band. It started out with just John Felice and me. I wrote to John from Israel saying I wanted to start a band when I got back home.

This project is remarkable in its scope and scale, and I congratulate John Morrell on this endeavor. The project can be expected to provide a considerable boost to our South Dakota workforce and promises economic growth in the Sioux Falls community.

There are writers for whom names mean nothing; everybody could be called John and Elizabeth, and the writing would be just as good. A name, of course, is like a piece of clothing, isn't it? It gives you an impression right away.

There are two people -- my mother and Pope John Paul II -- that will always stay vividly in my mind,

We've seen a different John Logan this week. He practiced like he knew he was going to play, which is good, because we need him.

When I made it down to work the state tournament, I think John was tickled just as much as dad.

When I call up (Carolina coach) John Fox and tell him what we are going to do, then I'll let you guys know,

We won't have to face somebody as good as John Smoltz, who's been through the wars, is the No. 1 starter on anyone's staff, who's done all the things he's done in this game,

We need a president who will keep you safe. John Kerry will do that,

The plaintiff dropped John Mack from the lawsuit after they understood the fact he played no role in authorizing the employment agreements that are the subject of the suit and didn't join the board until after the agreements were approved.

There are other John Deere clubs. But they didn't want other colors. So we started something everyone can join.

There are only two United States senators who have a truly national constituency. One's name is Ted Kennedy and one's name is John McCain,

There are people on the left who think John Kerry's too conservative, as well as the Bush administration that's trying to paint him as a wild-spending liberal.

We're not building a program, we're following the leadership of John R. Wooden. He's the one that built this program. It will always be his program.

Like him or not, John Parks has prevailed at every turn.

Make no mistake, John Casey feels that it is a horrible thing to have to lay people off. And hopefully our worst fears will not be realized.

Loyola faculty from stateside have been rotating there since the John Felice Rome Center was founded, and that has, as of now, silently, silently been abolished. That's a change that should have gone to faculty council, it should have gone to faculty affairs, it should have gone to academic affairs.... There's even a Rome Center advisory committee, which was never told.

Luke (Enos) was going to get the ball and we were going to flatten out and create. We weren't going to take a shot until six seconds or less. Luke was going to make the play and he found John cutting.

Let me be clear: I am a Methodist. By that, I mean I think John Wesley was a recovery of Catholic Christianity through disciplined congregational life.

Let the record show that John has a smile on his face that goes from one ear to the other, and we haven't been able to remove it yet,

Let's destroy this young demagogue before he becomes another Ralph Nader. (about John Kerry)

Leroy Marsh and John Friend made me what I am today,

Learn from your mistakes, always self-evaluate. Great leaders are thinking, evolving. And John Wooden was a great leader.

Many of this country's great pioneers arrived in the state via the Oregon Trail, fueled by hope and optimism. John Kerry's trail to Oregon has been driven by pessimism and half-truths.

Sean John felt he has the heft to go it alone.

Senator John McCain put it best: it is a lie to say that the president lied to the American people,

Senate leaders warned President George W. Bush on Wednesday that his next nominee to the Supreme Court will likely face a far more contentious confirmation battle than John Roberts, who is poised to become U.S. chief justice.

Selling his new book about this phony baloney war on Christmas, John revealed a very ugly side to himself. He is one of those people who think all religions but his are mistaken. You know, the way a lot of these religious nut bag terrorists think.

So, I think that says a lot about the largeness of spirit of a John M. Dalton, ... The largeness of spirit that Missourians always want to look for in our public servants and in our leaders. It is therefore a great honor for me to join you today to salute this great man and to congratulate the Dalton family.

So John Wayne ... rolled in the saddle as his nag ran at a gallop in the snow toward the chest-high fence. The horse stretched, Duke rose, and the two cleared the fence with plenty of room.

So many people have approached me and said, 'Can I do a musical of John,' ... It's a very simple idea, you know - wow, a musical of John! But I've said no. This time, I said yes, because I liked the idea of having these different actors playing John. Because in the years after John's passing, John has transformed into something else. People in Asia think of him as their hero. People in Africa think of him as their hero. He was a hero for the whole world, and not just a white hero. So it's great to have a black performer singing as John. For me, this play is a revolution, a quiet revolution.

So, if you look up John Smith you can see what a woman says about John Smith and you can see whatever John Smith says about whatever was posted.

She's certainly much more sexy than John Spencer is. She's got a better story.

She's like John Havlicek right now. She just found out she could score. We're giving (her) the green light.

Somebody is going to have to break away sooner or later, but anybody can throw anybody off here, and that's been the case over the years, but now they're not playing favorites. They're mowing me off, they're mowing John (Force) off, Robert (Hight) got sawed off the first round of Sonoma. You don't know whose going to do it; who's holding the loaded gun. Nobody can break away and get the clean air and get away from everybody. It could still happen, but right now one through four is right there, and even fifth place is right there. With six races left, the whole idea is if somebody jumps up with three in a row, now we're the ones chasing the rabbit ... There's no dominating anywhere.

Some architects, such as John Lautner, never really did anything other than houses. His entire portfolio is basically residential. There's nothing wrong with that.

Show me a man who plays a good game of golf and I'll show you a man who is neglecting something - John F Kennedy

Since becoming customers of our Bank, we have been very impressed with both John and Laura and the unique and highly specialized business they've built up over the last 30 plus years. They clearly know their business and what they're doing, which made it a lot easier for us to do our job and what we know best, which is helping businesses succeed.
