A. Hodge Quotations | Page 2

When our group organized, the concern that kept coming up was all the car lots. Many of the neighborhood associations didn't think they had much influence with the government. We decided to all come together and have more of a voice.

When I signed the letter, I told them as I believe then as I do now that a port belongs in Jasper, and if they did not move forward with some facility in Jasper County, the people of Jasper should be able to do it,

We're much improved over last year. The rivalry is intensifying. We have a lot of respect for Iowa and expect a great match.

We're trying to determine what the airport can be and should be when it grows up. What should the mission be?

This time around, there are not only more U.S. stores in Canada, but the Canadian stores appear to have more products than you would find in the U.S..

We just have to pick them up and make plays. We are not going to avoid throwing to someone. We just have to be smart.

With a tight job market, you would expect to see wages rise, but they are lagging.

There are a couple of sprint locations, a lot of up and down and weather will play a factor. Wind or heavy rain could make the race much more difficult.

When we start off practice, we want to go back to our fundamentals and correct our fundamentals and just focus on us. As the week goes on, we focus on the opponent and what they do and get ready for the ballgame.

We've played really well as a team and it's nice to have won it with a bit to spare.

Finishing is still one of our concerns, ... We still need to do a better job of finishing, especially around the 18 and inside the box. We've got to be able to tuck things away and score goals. Moravia is a young group like we are but we still need to do a better job of that.

We'll have the same mentality. We'll try to be one of the top defenses in the country. Be in the attack mode. Be aggressive.

This week has been like another practice at the University of Iowa for me. It's been fun having Chad play alongside me. Where both here trying to compete and make plays, and hopefully catch on with somebody.

We were there the whole time. Now success has come around a second time, and it's bigger than ever.

What I would love to see is getting rid of silos and pooling budgets so we can do what the individual client needs.

We had a few punches thrown every now and then, but boys are going to be boys. We'd just separate them and let them cool off.

You had a president who was clearly committed to fundamental tax reform, and we assumed that they would be taking that commitment to heart.

We felt that there were probably enough people out there that in good faith ... thought we'd honor both rebates. We made a decision that benefits the customers.

Even today, the state of South Carolina bows its head, bends it knee and begins the search for reconciliation,

As they are changing from old contracts to new ones they are raising rates, which is a good sign that they are doing very well. They have established themselves as a viable investment prospect.

Especially for golfers who get yippy on short putts, it can make a difference. Where they have trouble is on longer putts, because you don't have the same feel for pace.

Everything is based on what happened in 2005 when he dominated the World Championships. As for the award, the voters will take care of it.

I've been trying to find someone for a year,

I used one for about two years, and when I went back to a conventional putter last year, I found that I regained my stroke, especially on shorter putts, as a result of using the belly putter.

They are 4-0 for a reason. We know it is going to be a true test.

The way I look at it, I'd rather him talking to me and yelling at me rather than not saying anything at all, ... If he's talking to me, that shows that he likes me.

The riders who get away on that climb are going to try to hold that.

It would be nice to be able to do that here (in Adelaide) but somehow the 50-over game's a little bit different so I'll jut be trying to emulate what I've been doing in the ING Cup for a number of years.

The second great principle of Presbyterianism is, that presbyters who minister in word and doctrine are the highest permanent officers of the Church.

The store doesn't feel like a men's club anymore. Now women can walk in and be helped by women just as knowledgeable as guys.

The stock price is just stuck. Microsoft is probably as safe a play as you can have in tech but I would like to see it break out and move before buying it again.

The thing is, we never actually went away.

The thing is to get a team out of man, you've got to connect on the vertical routes. That's something we didn't do very well all day.

I've never experienced anything like this. We won a couple of state championships in high school (in 2003 and 2005). But it's not the same. I was joking with the team before the (title) game, that's what I do, win championships.

Texas is No. 2 in the nation for a reason. When you play against them you have to eliminate the margin for mental mistakes and turning over the ball.

Texas is No. 2 in the nation for a reason. Everybody's upset and sad. We came in expecting a win. We've got to move forward.

Saving 50 cents on a gallon of gas was a big deal to Canadians when the price was at $1.50 a gallon, but not nearly as big a deal when it's at $3 a gallon.

Putting is so much feel, so it's hard to tell if a belly putter will work for someone. But if you're having trouble with short putts, it's going to help you regain your mechanics so that you release the blade through the putt. If nothing else, in that way it's a good training device.

Raymond has got to be remembered as one of the best executives in many, many years -- one of the best of all time.

After looking at all the candidates, he has the best plan for education, ... I am proud to offer my endorsement to Al Gore.

Someone will need to lead the committee even on a temporary basis until someone takes a more permanent position.

Demand is better than expected. A gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is now under $2 a gallon in some areas, which is a nice drop from over $3 not long ago. This is improving sentiment and giving folks a few more dollars to spend on the holidays.

Definitely. I'm really looking forward to being out there on the football field in front of all our fans. I'll probably throw on a Derek Morris jersey, and then afterwards get ready to see the Wolfpack get the Hokies.

Death to a godly man is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but to a wicked man it is an east wind, a storm, a tempest, that hurries him away in confusion and amazement, to destruction.

Despite the tax cuts passed by the federal government, Americans will spend more on taxes than they spend on food, clothing, and housing combined.

Anybody who owned General Motors for the dividend had to recognize there was a high probability the dividend would be cut. The important thing at General Motors is not the dividend. The important thing is they make money again.

Alaska, in many respects, is a cheaper tax place to do business and should be a very attractive place for companies to locate or expand in.

Alaska has the third best tax system for business in the nation for the second year in a row.

You saw how it ended. I don't think you can say we are not able to play with them.

You're foursquare in a dilemma if you want to broaden the base and lower tax rates. If you broaden the base, you raise taxes on people who pay nothing, and if you lower rates you cut taxes for the rich.

You must never go down to the end of the town if you don't go down with me.

Americans spent 6 billion hours last year complying with the tax code.

There may be a period where attitudes might change, especially if the dollar remains strong and they can save money shopping here. It could be that it just may take a while for Canadians to begin looking at the U.S. again. The Canadian dollar was weak for several years, and if they have been able to find what they need, there may not be a strong motivation to shop in the U.S.

They played with the big boys. A few times they'd come home crying and say something about it. I'd say, 'If you're going to play with the big boys you're just going to have to toughen up and take it.' They did.

They're by far the best defense that we will face (this season). Overall, their team speed is something you just really can't prepare for in practice. They have 11 guys on the field who can really fly and get around the ball.

There is strong support for making Martin Luther King Day a state holiday,

It wasn't that the store was completely ruined. It could have been repaired and reopened without a great deal of difficulty.

It was a tough call. I don't know how you can make a call like that. That's not in my hands. The only thing I could do is go out there and play my best.

It was a tough call. I don't know how you can make a call like that, but it's out of my hands.

It's bad for the federal government to rely on a shrinking group of American to pay all the bills and exclude millions of people from paying their fair share or some share.

It's a whole other level now, ... He will be one of the premier faces of the NBA. He is. With that being said, he understands there's responsibility that comes with that. It's like the Bible verse he follows, 'To whom much is given, much is expected.'

It's about protecting the average citizen's property rights.

It's an interim measure, not the ultimate solution. You are in the throes of making some historic decisions. This will help take down the heat. It would just make life a lot easier here.

I told them to get Cody up at 4 a.m. for the Cotton Bowl so he'd think it was afternoon by the time the game started.

It's a lot of fun. We really encourage people to come out.

It's been an unbelievable season and a fantastic effort by all the guys,

It's been more work than people think. I've been going from this place to that place doing a lot of appearances. Most of the time I've been in Denver working out; I usually get in the gym at about nine in the morning and don't get out until two in the afternoon. The rest of the day I'm sleeping because I'm tired. It's been tough the last few months.

Taxes matter to businesses. How a state taxes business is just as important as how much a state taxes businesses.

It's definitely behind me now. I know I'm strong mentally, so I got past it pretty fast. It happened on the court a couple of months ago. I know I'd been feeling pain in it for a while now, but I just played through it.

It's definitely been a challenging first 10 days under coach Karl, ... He's really tough on me, and I like that because I know it's going to make me better and make me cut down some of my bad decisions on the court and make me that much smarter of a player.

It's been fun meeting players from across the country and meeting coaches from around the NFL. The Titans' staff has taught us a lot this week. Everything at this level is a lot more efficient, so you can't help to learn something from these coaches.

It's a new day dawning for the railroads. The railroads have been underperformers for so many years that people stopped paying attention to them. I think there is a lot ahead of them even yet.

It's a new day dawning for the railroads.

It'll be a great honor just to look in the rafters and see the David Thompsons and Tommy Burlesons, and then be able to see my jersey. I think it's a great thing.

It's crazy. Nobody used to talk about us, but now we're all over the place.

I've had about six days off and I'm desperate to get back on stage. To be honest, the older we get, the more we want to get out there and enjoy it.

Oh man, no one believed it could happen, ... It feels so much better, because no one believed.

Oh man, just getting my life together ... I love you, man.

It's very important to me. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. I may frame it.

I want to say a special thank you to the Good Samaritan who showed the true character of Colorado people. I would love the opportunity to meet with her and express my gratitude personally.

The voters have spoken loudly. They believe in scholarships for well-deserving students ... they believe in helping technical college students have a chance to go to college in South Carolina.

They can't get a home for their children, they see black and ethnic minority communities moving in and they are angry.

They aren't going to leave. We're going to stay together. They're going to stay here, they said that, all of them. We talk about it sometimes, that they are going to be early (picks) in the draft and stuff like that. . . . I strongly believe that (they will stay in school).

They are hot - they got off to a great start. We'll try to slow them down, control the tempo of the game and try to keep things close. When you're at home you seem to have a little bit better luck and maybe the ball will bounce our way.

They are going to look straight up at the ridge right in front of them.

They have worked with us to improve. They run a good operation.

I want to take this opportunity to let everyone know that I'm feeling good and on the road to recovery.

The national spotlight that will be thrown on the golden isles, we believe, will bring more people here and in the long term will help our tourism efforts, which will help all our folks here.

It's really, really fast. We have three mid-race sprints.

Snow and ice have pelted South Carolina for a week now, ... It's clear this unusual run of winter storms is causing unexpected problems.

That's a tough call to make, especially on a critical call like that.

The interest (in South Carolina ports) is from Jasper, the port community and the people of Georgia, ... It's not that important to the people of South Carolina across the board. That's probably why you see (Sanford) less engaged.

I'm going to have to be as patient as I've ever been in basketball, ... I'm going to have to continue to work hard every day and when I get my opportunity, I have to make the best of it.

I'm giving him a Useful Pot to Keep Things In.

I'm good at ping-pong. It was hard at first.
