Nebraska Quotations
Nebraska Quotes from:
-
America Quotes
Yes, my fellow citizens, despite what the original Constitution of the United States says about the qualifications for statehood and the guarantee of representation in Congress, by every measure that truly matters in America (bigness, crowdedness, awesomeness, Texasness), Nebraska doesn't deserve its star on the American flag.
-
Awakening Quotes
My undergraduate years at the University of Nebraska were a special time in my life: the combination of partying and intellectual awakening that is what the undergraduate years are supposed to be. I went to the university with the goal of becoming an engineer; I had no concept that one could pursue science as a career.
-
Fields Quotes
I remember as a little girl going down to the beet fields in the Dakotas and in Nebraska and Wyoming as migrant workers when I was very, very small, like, I was, like, 5 years old, I believe. And I remember going out there, you know, traveling to these states and living in these little tarpaper shacks that they had in Wyoming.

Advocacy Quotes
We strongly oppose the Nebraska law that divides the Omaha public schools along racial lines. The Supreme Court ruled those 52 years ago that separate but equal schools result in inequality and poor education for minority children. We will use every advocacy tool, including legal, at our disposal to fight this unconstitutional law.

Against Quotes
We have to get the turnovers under control. But it is more than just Tyler -- our receivers have to work back to some balls, our line has to protect a little better. But if we can cut down on turnovers against Nebraska we will have a chance. There are a lot of nuances about the college game that I have to learn as well. It's only two games so it is too early to press the panic button just yet.
-
Both Quotes
Simply, what you had was too many men on the field by Nebraska -- a whole slew of them -- and Michigan had two or three extra men out there. Since both teams had too many men and both teams fouled, it was an offsetting penalty, and the game was over. I think it might have been wise to throw penalty flags and to announce, to say, that it was an offsetting penalty; the game was over.
-
Basket Quotes
One of the things I thought tonight is that we could never put two big baskets together, or put a basket and a stop together. And I give Nebraska a lot of credit for that. We got the crowd into it. I thought we were going to get a little momentum, and they would stop it immediately with a big play.
-
Against Quotes
Maybe the final four a few years ago (2002 against Stanford). Just too many weapons. Nebraska was too balanced tonight. A lot of times we were confused because they were running an offense we really hadn't seen. We just finally got down. We needed to have somebody to rally the troops and no one did. Everybody was in a daze.
-
Against Quotes
Obviously, getting the turnovers under control is a big thing for us this week. I think Tyler was embarrassed by some of the decision-making that went down in the Ohio game. Going on the road against a team like Nebraska that's getting a lot of scores off turnovers and is pressuring the quarterback, he's just got to make better decisions.

Against Quotes
Only one American has given his life for Iranian democracy. He was a young idealist from Nebraska named Howard Baskerville. In 1907, fresh out of Princeton, Baskerville went to Iran as a schoolteacher. He found himself in the midst of a revolution against tyranny, and was carried away with passion for the democratic cause.

Act Quotes
If we don't get our act together, we're going to see rural Nebraska see huge declines, because of the way we're managing water. We need to look at a transfer system for water. One of things I'm going to do is put a ton of money in the water transfer system. It will help the rural economy grow and prosper.

Academic Quotes
I had a son who wanted to play college basketball, so this is what we did. We made up a resume sheet that had his picture, academic and athletic information, and then put together a good tape that showed some highlights of his season. After that we picked out 50 or so schools that he was interested in, and then mailed the packets. Then we followed up with phone calls. We ended up getting a great response. He signed with a school in Nebraska (York College) and got to play a few years before hurting his knee.

Afraid Quotes
Kate will bring unquestioned integrity, values and work ethic to the lieutenant governor's office, ... She is not afraid to challenge the status quo, and she believes, as I do, that Nebraskans are not satisfied with 'pretty good' or 'good enough.' With Kate on our team, I am convinced more than ever that we can transform Nebraska into a world-class performer on every level.

Argentina Quotes
Where have technical industry jobs gone? Where have call center and service jobs gone? To China and to India. Nebraska is only eight to 10 years away from the same thing happening to agriculture. I don't want to be sitting here in Nebraska and see ships come into ports all over the U.S. loaded with grain from Argentina selling for 50 cents a bushel less.

Believe Quotes
When Lawrence Phillips was in a boys home growing up, I truly believe he was on the right track, ... Nebraska derailed that. Osborne undid what that boys home did. There was no accountability for Lawrence Phillips, no discipline. Just a protective mechanism for him to conduct himself the way he did. Nebraska didn't care about Lawrence Phillips; they cared about their won-loss record.
-
Charlie Quotes
When you look back, this might be the worst class he ever signed because he didn't have a lot of time to recruit. But if you think about what he did at Nebraska and the quality players he recruited, he should do well for Buffalo. Florida didn't do as well under Urban Meyer in his first year and neither did Notre Dame with Charlie Weis. It's usually that second class where you see results.

Accepted Quotes
When I started acting, I hoped I could make some kind of positive contribution to this world. When I get a letter from some kid in Nebraska saying that, prior to Han, nobody wanted to be his friend because Asians weren't cool if they weren't into martial arts - Now he's accepted and recognized as a human being. That's pretty awesome, right?

Believe Quotes
A plan for improved tourism and recreation in Nebraska starts with a new vision for Nebraska. It will take a governor who not only inspires citizens with this new vision, but a governor who can strategize and sell this new vision to make it a reality. I believe I am the one who can do this for our state! For more than three years now, I have been developing new creative ideas to expand tourism and recreation.

Anymore Quotes
As far as I'm concerned, I'm the coach at Nebraska until I hear different and I don't know anymore than that. I just try to coach our team and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to do that. We're going to keep our fingers crossed for a nod on Sunday night to play and that's where my focus is going to be.

Behind Quotes
It's about time. We have had games like Vermont, Nebraska and South Carolina where we've played teams to the last few possessions in our own building, and with the kind of fan support we have they deserve a game like this. For the fans that stuck with us and are really behind u, that was for them.

Against Quotes
Byrne formula grants have long proven to be invaluable to law enforcement agencies in Nebraska in their efforts to fight against the influx of methamphetamine in our communities. Given the critical role Byrne grants play, I joined Rep. Terry and a number of my colleagues in sending a letter to the House and Senate appropriators urging them to fund Byrne formula grants at $900 million.
