Stephen Jones Quotations

Was the person you delivered (food) to Mr. McVeigh?,

We've tried to duplicate the problem but haven't been able to. We haven't had problems with the systems in the five elections we've used it, but we're concerned about what caused this.

We have repeatedly expressed our concern that there is a rush to judgement in this matter and for political reasons, the indictments and prosecutions of a limited number of drifters will be passed off to the public as a completely successful investigation resulting in the arrest of all concerned. These assurances are, to be certain, not credible.

People wonder what happens in the winter (at boatyards). Some think nothing happens, but a lot of things happen in winter. You don't necessarily have to go to the Grand Canyon and all that hoo-ha (to see wildlife).... You've got the heron and osprey.

If we let sympathy overcome reason, then sympathy becomes what race became in another case.

If they wish to appoint someone else, that's fine with me.

If this should turn out to be about John Doe No. 2, I think it is far from clear that the Oklahoma City bombing case has reached a conclusion in federal court.

I don't know which employees he's been talking to - I suspect the senior managers on generous severance packages. This is the wrong plan for Telstra and the wrong plan for Australia.

I expect it will be long and drawn out, exhaustive and costly.

He is not a demon, though surely his act was demonic. Mr. McVeigh could very easily be considered the boy next door, and that is what is so serious about it. ... He is everyman.

When he came over here we were a million miles off things. He has broken things down with regards the skill aspects. His technical knowledge is superb and the way he breaks that down and gets it across is second to none.

He did not develop the way we wanted. He was average. Maybe that's the best way to put it.

He can really help solidify our offensive line. We needed some flexibility there as well.

Kid books can get cute and a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e. Garfield says cute rots the intellect. Don't forget the name of the cat! You pick up cats the wrong way and they stop being adorable...they become Scratch.

John Archibald (in the book as well as in real life) is a big, important part of the yard.

It is all about the hats - but we are very good friends and really trust each other.

I think at some point and time all cemetery districts are going to have a problem, because they all have a finite amount of land. All of them are fighting for the almighty dollar because they are just barely making it. They are either going to have to buy land or beg for it, because they'll have nowhere to bury people. Somebody - and I suspect it will be the state legislature - will have to address the issue.

I will admit it's intriguing and I commend CNN for its effort. But I don't know how much it adds to the prosecution or defense of this case.

Our information indicates Tim was somewhere other than Cassville, Missouri. That's what our research shows.

Our goal is to complete it (jury selection) sometime this month, to start evidence and opening statements by the end of the month -- that's the judge's goal and we are all working toward that.

It doesn't mean there's an imminent threat. But people don't like the in-your-face discussions.

That would be great. I'd love to come back here and play them again. This is a great place to play basketball and it's always a big game when you play Edwardsville.

That worked really well for a long time and the only deduction we had (for special districts such as the public cemeteries) was from the redevelopment agency.

When that effort failed, they abandoned the canoe and attempted to reach shore. They were in voice contact initially, then the water began to take its toll on them. The struggle was then to try to get out of the water themselves.

You are definitely going to see some spread. As people get together for the holidays in close quarters, they pass the virus around.

We have visited with Mr. McVeigh. We will be working with him tonight and tomorrow for the preparation of the second stage on Wednesday. Beyond that I cannot say more.

We have visited with Mr. McVeigh. We are going to work with him today, tonight and tomorrow for the second stage on Wednesday. I can't say anything more at this time.

You didn't feelsorry because they arrested the wrong man?

We're not short on supply -- we're potentially short if something were to happen.

Transformation will not be easy; it will require us to change our culture, our mindsets and the way we do business everyday, but we have a comprehensive and workable plan.

Every cemetery district has an endowment fund and they can only spend the interest on that money. They can't touch the principle. I recommend they do that. Otherwise, even if they were good with the money, the money could erode.

Same-sex marriage is here to stay. You cannot hold back the winds of change.

People say this is (for students in) second or third grade. Some say preschool. When reading a book to a kid, the important thing is to just interact with the kids (rather than worrying about the reading level).

Dead men don't tell tales. We don't want a Lee Harvey Oswald here. We don't want an Oliver Stone movie. We don't want a Warren Commission report.

An enormous professional responsibility and burden has been lifted from me, and for the first time in 2 1/2 years, my life is again my own.

You OK? You OK? A recording is made of a frightening telephone call.

This is a young man who served his country honorably for four years. He was top gunner which means he was the top of the 65 in the battalion. He was awarded the bronze star; the army commendation medal. He served his country with honor and distinction in the Persian Gulf and I think that needs to be considered.

This is an outrageous act of vandalism. Phone services are going to fall off a cliff.

They play for the good teams. We have got one of their players, Gonzalo Canale, in the center at Clermont and he is a real talent. He is one of the best centers in the world.

All of us understand the victims' plight. They are not the property of any side to this lawsuit. Their collective loss belongs to the country.

The more we looked, the more we became convinced he'd be a good fit.

It's a victory for the system that the jury is carefully studying the evidence and weighing the decision -- the important decision they have to make.

It's a pity I couldn't play, because we've got an incredible crowd in, the weather's perfect and these are the sorts of games everyone wants to play.

Edwardsville's always a big game for us, no matter if he's there or if he's not. It was very strange to play against him. I've been playing with him all my life and it was a strange thing. He's a great basketball player and he'd help any high school out.

The basic story and images are real incidents that happened at the boatyard. Being here in town helps inspire me, and I try to have things the way they actually are.

It's intellectually indefensible to say that they weren't conspirators, because they were. Their own testimony indicates that. They knew the date, time and place of the bombing and both of them assisted materially.

I've faced this type of defense before, but I couldn't get off many shots tonight. I knew it was going to be tough. I did what I could.

It won't take many more words to ask for a change of venue to Hawaii or Alaska.

They made a rush to judgment. It looked good when they got him ... but it didn't come together. They known the facts didn't fit the theory.

That's certainly the experience with other terrorists. That's not unique here.

I love the whimsy of it. People ask me when I will be creating a range of bed covers. But I just do hats. And for me, that is the cake and the cherry on the cake.

I love music; it is a wonderful thing. It's a positive thing in a very un-positive world. There's so much bad in the world and music is something that's actually good. Music spreads the right message to people.

I'm trying to show him as he really is. He's a home-grown American boy.

I mean, Tim McVeigh has said publicly that he committed the crime. And though I think he's exaggerated his guilt, if he says he's guilty, then how could these documents make any difference?

In the last 20 years, I have had more cats than dogs and became an observer of cats.

Clearly Telstra is denying its employees' fundamental right to talk to union representatives at work in their own time.

He's an extroverted guy ... a good employee. He's a patriot, loyal to his country. And well-read.

I do think the public is entitled to know more about Mr. McVeigh than simply what the government releases anonymously.

He's not only a great owner and a great manager, but he's also a tremendous fan of the game. That forms a bond which has grown between Mark and the people in Dallas and the region.

This is my bottom line. They're not important to the case. They're not believable. Put everything they said aside. Forget them.

The concert was all French music except for my solos. We tried to keep it in a French mode because the second half of the concert was all French pieces.
