John Davis Quotations

Whether she has a good dive or a not-so-good dive, she's not adversely affected by it at all.

We were in a situation where we had a hit, ... but we hadn't figured out where we wanted the band to go and what we wanted to do. We needed time to think about it. We ended up in the right spot.

We are going to make you defend everyone on the field, hopefully,

Like all freshmen, you have to pay your dues. You don't get the nice office space. You don't get the most desirable committees.

Look what he's done for our community, for the sports program alone. He's a coach. Try and top him. You're not going to top him,

Mount Tabor's got some big kids, but he was able to keep his focus and hit some critical baskets.

No one is hurt, that's the important thing -- remember that.

I have a friend that works at a gas station so I just get him to phone me when it's going up, so I can get the inside edge on it.

I have mixed emotions about playing Jim. Jim was a very, very loyal coach with me, and I wish him the best. I thought his kids came in here and I thought they played hard. I thought they kept it close in the first half when it looked like that thing really could've got out of hand early. I think our depth wore them down.

What we have asked them to do is share the football,

He convinced us that he really wanted this job. He spent his life getting ready for a job like this.

It appears that whichever company sponsors the trial produces the better anti-psychotic drug.

I think that most of the faculty and the staff won't hold that against them, ... and I don't think they hold it against them if they make $12,000 more.

I think it's really fallen off people's radar. We don't hear much about it at all.

I think that what it says is from an external point of view, from a national stage, we're being recognized for excellence in what we're doing. When I first came on board with the CU College of Music in fall of 1999, one of the things I had hoped to see was some recognition at some point from these national awards. And for us to have had the 13 in five years has exceeded my expectations, but I think clearly represents the great work the students and faculty are doing.

Our charge was to look at the facilities and to look at the county farm. There are a lot of options to move forward with. I can't say what two weeks will cost us that much. Just because we aren't recharged doesn't mean we won't talk about it amongst ourselves.

Really, we were six or seven years into the AIDS epidemic at that time, and I think it was a move that offered an acceptance. You know, sometimes movies are great because I think they can precondition society for acceptance, and I think when they do that we're really at the statesmanship level of film-making.

I think people would have assumed a 50 percent cut in roaming charges over three years. If they did it by the end of 2007 -- a year quicker -- then it's a little bit negative.

That was the Reagan era, and it was a great time for those kinds of movies ... a time when we wanted larger-than-life heroes.

We wanted to keep our monthly payments similar to what they are now, and we can do that by splitting it three ways.

We need information from the department heads as soon as possible. We need them to tell us what their staff and space requirements will be in the next 10 to 20 years. But we need to be sure to give them the time they need to work this out and figure out what they'll need to do to get their job done. Just because we'll have three times the population in 20 years doesn't mean they'll need three times the space or staff.

We get that money back through the life of the car. You are paying considerably less for gas.

When you see the words 'chief executive officer,' it makes you think that it's big company experience. But it turns out it's a small, little company. She's embellishing her resume.

Wedlock, indeed, hath oft compared been -To public feasts, where meet a public rout - Where they are without would fain go in, And they that are within would fain go out

We can't run off a private hydrant unless it has been painted.

There have been very preliminary discussions, one's we've encouraged. We don't anticipate anything in the foreseeable future.

We're training you to be a leader, but you're not going to be a leader right away. You need to be a good follower and work your way into leadership.

This was a great win, not just for the eight people we put on the floor, but also for the bench which worked just as hard to prepare us for this game. I sincerely hope things are back in perspective and good things will continue to occur.

We always strive to make records that sound good to us. We have very exacting tastes.

When you go down there and meet with them, keep as many options open as possible. We don't want any closed door deals. And we're not going to quit what we're doing with two weeks off.

We need to look at our consumers and clients and reassess their needs early on.

While the first human organ transplant was performed 50 years ago, it was the arrival of the drug cyclosporine that vastly improved transplant survival rates and helped make transplantation the almost routine procedure it is today. That development offered hope to thousands of patients suffering from failing kidneys, livers, and hearts.

We've had a couple of cases here that occurred here with people posting way too much information, and they actually did obtain credit in their names.

The record is prettier and more emotionally direct. That came organically, because we wanted to use more acoustic instruments. We appreciate making a connection with an audience rather than identifying with a specific style. So we put more of ourselves into the album and drew that out.

We cannot deny the county staying downtown has benefits. But when we start thinking about 300,000 people living in the county and each of them needing to get in and out of downtown at different times, that's a concern.

At this point, it appears that the feud is alive and well.

I've seen him fight. I've seen him use weapons before just for nothing. Nobody's done anything.

I've never seen any indication of anything like that. He's a very high moral person. I've left my kids with him. I trust him fully.

Teams have those nights. You walk in the gym, hit the first couple of shots, and the basket keeps getting wider and wider. For those guys, it must have been about as wide as the Grand Canyon.

Our experience has been very, very good. They are very comfortable, one doesn't think that they will be. They ride well ... we've had very little problem with them.

One day, ... It's just a dream, huh?

As an incumbent, Marty has to show that she has done a good job and she has done the best job possible with the situations she faces, ... He has got to prove that she has not been a good leader and he has to prove that he is a good leader and can take her place. That's the tough job. You just can't tear down the other person.

The big story coming out of this year was that comedies did really well,

This is setting new case law in California,

There will be more of a physical notion that there is one, integrated district. And I think the pedestrian improvements will create a much better pedestrian feel.

There's a real sense of curiosity about what is being proposed. If one is to be constructed, let's move it forward.

abused by male students because of their low self-esteem.

It's a good sign and a good win for us. Offensively and defensively, we did a lot of things that we wanted to do.

It?s like a big musical chemistry experiment and thank God, it worked.

It looks very unlikely that the substance contains any bacteria of any significant pathological significance.

That has allowed our television watchers to have another whole interaction with the television show. We can talk to our audience directly for the first time, not filtered through a broadcaster.

The land itself will be renewed and restored. If and when we do get rain again, those pastures will respond better than ever.

I'm 50 years old and I've been playing this game since I was 9. I know when you go tree, tree like that, it's time to shake hands.

I'm not very impressed, but you can't do anything about it because you've just got to keep filling up your car,

If she wanted something, you better had figured out a way to make her happy. She was a very, very aggressive advocate for Buncombe County.

Hey, this is us, ... It wasn't about colors.

Human beings, as species, have no more value than slugs.

I felt then, and still feel, looking at it from the victims' perspective, that when they were moved to the back of the store and bound, it made it much more traumatizing for them than just being robbed,

You've got to give those guys credit. They came in here, and it's a hostile environment with Raider Rowdies screaming and hollering and its Senior Night and all. But, you know, it's a good way for the seniors to go out.

All three can run and all three are strong, ... You better bring more than one guy if you are going to bring one of them down.

The committee felt it (the curfew) hadn't been studied sufficiently to pass it on to council.

The committee has concluded that they have completed the tasks that were put before them. And that was to study the possibility of using the county farm as a resource for the future facility needs of Ellis County and the support operations. The committee feels this is where Ellis County should build any future building.

All the economic indicators are helping to confirm that further rate increases are on the table.

The last time I won this thing (2003), I birdied 18 to win it. This time it was straight in and short.

The legal community seems to think that the jail, courts and clerks need to stay together. Transporting prisoners can be very expensive. If we move the jail to the county farm and keep the courts downtown that could cause a number of issues. And you can spend a tremendous amount of money guarding prisoners outside the jail environment.

The lawyers on both sides were very skillful, very smart,
