John Luther Quotations

Learn from the mistakes of others-you can never live long enough to make them all yourself.

What we're having a problem with is, where was the three-foot figure derived from?

It's pretty up there. It's a good visit for people to see the countryside.

Everyone did a great job today. I was able to see what plans were in place, and the facility was perfect for what we needed.

Honestly, we've way outgrown that facility. It worked when we needed it, but we can do so much more with the bigger space.

It's a new requirement that we have to meet every year. We'll be having a weapons of mass destruction training exercise.

As long as there are strong communications, the command doesn't have to be on-site. What's done here by the decision-makers can be relayed to units out in the field.

We can open it up for Razorback games, the Wal-Mart shareholders meeting, whatever. If there's a bad storm coming through, we might just have a few ham radio operators in the building talking to our storm spotter network.

This isn't to point our their weaknesses in a critical manner. We do this with an attitude of preparation so if they do have a weakness, we can correct it. If we have the opportunity to weed out weaknesses, it makes it more efficient and hopefully we won't have as many people injured, especially first responders.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece by thought, choice, courage and determination.
