John Wagner Quotations

What's new here is not the use of umbilical cord blood in the treatment of a life-threatening disease, but it's the way the transplant was engineered and the way the baby was conceived.

We're filling a little bit of a niche. It's tough to sell 40,000 (concert) tickets in a stadium. Most of the (amphitheaters) do 16,000 to 18,000, and we're in the 20,000-plus range. We can do a concert on a Friday night and a soccer game on Saturday. That's unheard of for stadium venues.

We've never asked for administrative penalty authority. The vast majority of our situations are ones where there are not immediate threats to human health.

If a violator does not feel they are guilty, they will wait for a judge to set up trial date.

It becomes more and more difficult to pay, especially knowing that at times the money isn't used wisely.

Mike and his staff have worked very hard and we all hoped for a turnaround, but it doesn't seem to be happening. We have an obligation to the fan base of the Dallas Burn and Major League Soccer to put a competitive team on the field.

We needed machinery to dig out the hot spots and really raked over the debris.

We consider discharging without a permit to be a very significant violation and we will seek substantial penalties for such violations.

What this technology did was take away the guesswork, ... It allowed them to have -- and know that they were going to have -- a healthy child and one that would be matched.

We are appreciative of the effort Greg has put into his position and the contributions he has made towards shaping the team into one of MLS' most competitive on-field teams, as well as his contributions towards the building of our new home -- Pizza Hut Park,

depends on strength because he can't retain technique.

As an organization we have decided to move in a different direction and we wish Greg all the best in his future endeavors.

A lot of times the violator will contact us and we will negotiate a settlement which normally includes corrective action within a specified time and payment of a penalty.

It's a serious situation. It appears somebody was trying to hide the fact that they had a discharge that was not permitted.

It's like a football play and you will never know who will win,

It's our feeling that what is being proposed here is an attempt to go beyond what is reasonable.

That makes it a stealthier virus, ... It's harder for the immune system of the body to find it and react to it.

That flew in the face of where the Legislature was heading. States can't create separate programs to avoid the participation rate.

They helped us in the beginning, even with securing a bid for financing. They worked up all the pre-planning and then got all the subcontractors and architects put together to actually build it. They were experienced, professional and easy to communicate with.

The fan feedback we received we can not ignore. Dragon Stadium is a very fine stadium, but our players and fans want the Burn to play on a grass soccer field and we want to be receptive to that need.

If there's an emergency, you can always jump out.

If (the water discharge applications are) legal and in good shape, we will process those applications normally.

High density is not the way to protect our neighborhoods. This does not give an adequate buffer for the people who have lived in their homes for 50 years.

I figured everybody there was a winner, whether they won a medal or not, ... You take a guy in his eighties who can still swim the length of a pool, and in my mind, he's a winner.

Thanks to the invention of the telescope, planets that are 100 billion miles away look to be only 50 billion miles away.

There's a thrill in going someplace you aren't supposed to go. The place should come down.

I guess sometimes you just have to fight your battles.

Don't let aging get you down. It's too hard to get back up.

Everything slows down with age, except the time it takes cake and ice cream to reach your hips.

If each day is a gift, I'd like to know where to return Mondays!
