Scott Johnson Quotations

We've always been proactive about sharing our experiences in a variety of areas, including environmental preservation and product stewardship. This Web site is a natural extension of our ongoing commitment to foster awareness and understanding of our work in these important areas. The site's name reflects our belief that a multinational organization can do what's right and win responsibly in a competitive marketplace.

We're more grassroots than the city guys. We're out there with the people trying to solve problems. We're actually out there doing the foot work. We're not being fed the answers.

We have to go back on to that drawing board and come up with something different next weekend against France.

We are going to look squarely in the face of adversity and show a different side to our characters this weekend. We've shown that we can turn on the pretty stuff, now we are going to show our true heart, make Welsh fans proud of us and come out fighting.

We have a young team, but I think we're going to be deeper in the middle distance than we have been in the past. I like the indoor meets just because it gives us a chance to run against other people and other competition. We don't have what you would call a track, so it's a good place to get times and see where we're at.

We have retained Gavin Henson as cover for a number of positions in the backs.

There is a lot of care that is being put into designing the building, it's going to be a very special use building, ... It's not like four walls that you can throw up together for a store or something. The acoustics are very specialized you get one chance to build it you want to make sure that it's right.

We have kept the faith with the majority of the side that underperformed in Dublin and told them to go out there on Saturday and put things right. The boys have a second chance to prove what they are capable of and that the last outing was just a blip.

We have kept the experience of our existing back row to start the match, but Alix will be a potent weapon for us from the bench if necessary.

We have kept faith with the majority of the side that underperformed in Dublin and told them to go out there and put things right.

Losing the premier half-back in the northern hemisphere was a blow. He has injured his AC joint and he certainly won't be available next week, that's for sure. The boys who have come back from the Lions tour have had a hard year and he will be glad of the rest.

Shane is a specialist left wing and his selection ahead of Dafydd is a case of 'horses for courses' after his return from injury.

Mike's a wonderful coach. I've thoroughly enjoyed the time I've worked with him but his reasons are his reasons.

Mike is an instinctive rugby player and deceptively quick, that makes him hard to get to sometimes.

From the standpoint of patient care, we really need to do this. We're looking at a 25 percent decrease in mortality.

He has injured his AC joint and certainly won't be available against France next week.

He is a player lots of international teams would want. We are very happy to have Michael Owen in our team, and I am very happy to have him as captain.

I think it's an outrage. The equity of athletic competition is there in this league and we've built up working relationships with South and Sheldon and good traditions.

I thought Gavin was terrific having been out for so long.

It is probably true that the peak was making it difficult for people to move up, but businesses coming in from outside don't see it as a bubble.

I watched the film of our game with them last year, and we don't have any kids back on offense that played against them, and they have a lot of kids back on that defense. That's just the way things fall. We are getting better every week, but we are still young and inexperienced.

Our coach told us to play like it was the beginning of the game and the guys were fired up like it was a 0-0 game.

Stephen would have been the last bloke we would have wanted to replace after just 20 minutes.

I was very proud of individual efforts, but tonight was the first time I was somewhat disappointed in team effort.

I might be staying, I might be going.

That will be the sole factor in whether I stay or go.

Most of the people at this level have had several serious injuries that they have had to overcome. You can't really get this far without injuring something.

Most natural to me is the idea of importing new instruments into 'classical' music, particularly an instrument which, like my own electric guitar, has a place in living culture.

We hope that's something we can put some effort into and eliminate the need for this other stuff.

We had to switch game plans in the middle against Wilkes Central and do the things Chase does well, which is throw the ball, ... We didn't run very much option.

We had open looks tonight; we either didn't take the shot, or the shot didn't go in. We shot a low percentage, as we have all year, and when you do that you don't win many games.

Tough times breed tough men and we are taking a tough team to Dublin to play tough rugby. We are going to look squarely in the face of adversity and show a different side to our characters this weekend.

We have been in some dark holes in the time I have been here - and we've been in darker holes than this one. There is a silver lining somewhere along the line.

We have been hearing for some time now that Citizens' rates are competitive in that line, and that's not good.

We would like to thank all those who supported us with prayers, donations and supplies.

We need to do what is in the best interests of Gareth Thomas in this situation, listen to the doctors' advice and leave him at home to rest. We will all be thinking of him, but his personal health is of a much higher priority to us all than anything that can happen on a rugby pitch. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to have him back with us soon.

We need to do what is in Gareth's best interests and that means leaving him at home to rest. His personal health is of a much higher priority to us all than anything that can happen on a rugby pitch.

You can't collect money from someone who doesn't have any, ... If they're operating on a shoestring budget and you have a $4,000 judgment, how are you going to get that?

We're striving to be more consistent with our decisions. People should be able to know what to expect when they come to the commission. Before, the only thing the commission was consistent about was inconsistency.

This season's championship is the most open in years. If we do our part well and get our performances right in the next two weeks who knows where we will end up. After all, it is our title to defend.

This was the best thing I've ever done as far as hands-on experience. I've always wanted to be my own boss and here it's a cool atmosphere. I employ 20 guys so it's almost fraternity-like. I do all my own legwork from advertising to recruiting and selling.

We're going to wind up with over 20 minutes of original content for a fraction of the cost a major brand would spend on a television spot. 'We're creating an experience online that will engage for many minutes.

User created content is an interesting idea; we didn't feel it was viable in our case because the schedule was so tight. The further we get from January first, the less interested people will be in creating video on New Year's resolutions.

We do see people who care enough about this Mountain Dew brand that they're taking time to create their own fan sites. We decided we were going to create the fan site that takes it to the next level.

We had our opportunities in the first half. We didn't make the most of them, let Italy back in the game and then got too afraid to lose to play the rugby.

Billions of dollars spent every year on basic medical research translate into relatively few effective new therapies, and they frequently require decades to move from discovery to clinical trials,

Competition means the lowest price would be available.

I've been meaning to do this, ... When (Hurricane Katrina) happened, of course I decided to come in. It seems like the least we can do.

SC Johnson made this commitment to reduce GHG emissions because it's right for our business, right for our community and right for the environment. This accomplishment marks the continuation of our longstanding commitment to environmental leadership.

People came from every organization in the city.

Deploying Pivotal has helped us get even more competitive in a number of key areas. We're definitely generating more revenue, while at the same time reducing administrative expenses. We have moved back into a membership-growth mode and were able to downsize our account-services department by reducing the paper they have to deal with. And, terms of retention, we're running at a 93 percent rate, which is 5 percent higher than before the solution was deployed.

As a regular guy who likes to buy wine, this is going to make it easier to get the eclectic things that right now are hard to get in Florida unless you pay triple the price in a restaurant.

The burden wasn't on her. The other girls were taking open shots and were aggressive on the offensive end of the floor.

The bulbs we planted in the fall should be in full bloom the first and second week of April.

Alix deserves his chance to start and we have gone for Dafydd Jones on the bench for the energy and impact he will be able to offer.

You only score two runs and that is what happens. You are not going to win many games like that. Jones pitched well enough to win.

They get in a cycle. They don't have economic development or the high land value they need to raise the revenue they need for good schools. And they can't attract businesses for economic development without good schools.

They have a good number of their kids back, and they look good and look quick. But we are ready. We had a good week of practice. The first week of school is always hard on kids. We have made a few adjustments, and things went better this week.

This little remnant in the foreground, along with a couple of other small islets, was all that was left of Poplar Island when we got here in '98, ... It constituted about three acres.

They're being peaceful but they are not doing what they are supposed to be doing and that is being in class.

It's all about the team. We got much better over the year.

That's out of our hands and nor will it ever come into our hands and nor will it be an excuse. We don't need excuse here and while I'm at the helm there will be no excuses.

Everyone in very broad ways is going through a lot of soul-searching, ... I think people involved in design or development of skyscrapers are not exempt.

The best we can do in Florida, to make sure we have the lowest rates possible, is to continue to improve the wind resistance of our homes. We think $500 million is more like it.

Nothing has changed in our approach. We need to go out there and do what we do best, better than we have been doing it. We have one of the best teams in world rugby coming to our shores. They have some great players, and we have a huge regard for French rugby and their style of play. They will be formidable opponents, and with the championship at stake, they will be making sure they go home with a victory.

It was probably our best offensive play of the year. We took open shots when we had them, and I was very pleased with that. The young girls are starting to learn what it takes to move on offense.

They brought the house a couple of times and we just didn't handle it. The interceptions hurt us.

It's not a job I coveted, it landed in my lap, it was appropriate for the team that I took it on.

It's reflection of our injuries and their ignorance as well of the players who have come in.

I'm a big believer in not making broad statements. The kid looks like a natural 13 (outside centre) but, until you watch him train and get a feel for his personality, you don't really know for sure but I'd be very surprised if he didn't make a successful transition.

In many ways Alix has changed our mindset and to do that he needs a lot of credit for doing that, because his work off the field and form on it have been impressive.

If Knuckles is coming over, I'm sure he will pay me a visit.

If 'Knuckles' (Connolly) is coming over, I am sure he will pay me a visit, there will be no doubt about that.

I have not agreed a contract with the Australian Rugby Union. I have met with their new head coach John Connolly, and I am considering an offer he has made me. But I have said all along that I would love to remain in Wales if I can resolve some of my personal issues in Australia.

I have not agreed a contract with the Australian Rugby Union.

I'm not that close to that deal, but a lot of it will depend on how Occidental is able to manage it,

If there's something wrong with the no-fault laws, let's fix those problems.

I haven't heard a developer or an architect that is saying, 'Well, these things are no longer valid or can't be done anymore,'

In the past, we have been told we might be on a five-year cycle, and the last one we had before this year was in 2001. Hopefully, we can get better than once every five years. That's our goal.

Being able to work in a random access digital world means you can spend more of your time writing music rather than rewinding or fast forwarding through tape to find the scene you want.

By that I mean you need to adopt a lower overhead and operating structure.

He took a big hit on the head earlier, but showed great character to hold in there for so long.

Gareth is a big player and he is a big loss. He represents all that is good with the team, and that is why his aura will always be around us.

I don't want to register as a woman beater. I'm not a woman beater. I just had one incident of losing control for a moment.

I can't be looking over my shoulder every second wondering where it is. It is a part of me. It's a part of what I've done, but it doesn't rule my life.

I don't like going without a school nurse. But I don't like cutting a teacher, either.

You can only pick on form and he has to play well. It is a big ask after so long out but some kids can do it. He is a class player and he may surprise everyone.

A lot of my anxiety was returning to a class full of kids who had known me as one person and coming back as, what I felt, a different person.

and its sad that you couldn't put all the other statements in here because they feared they'd be fired correct so they were the employees of the sheriff they weren't anonymous people that's correct commissioner...oh i just wanted that straight.

The county commission is a full-time position. You'd be amazed by the hours I and the other commissioners put in.

The luck was not with us. That's rugby, those decisions can go either way. But I'm not John McEnroe, I don't complain about every line call.
