Amazing Quotes
We didn't try to create the wheel. We had everybody focused on what they could already. Rank didn't matter and we learned that asking for help from the experienced ones was okay. During Hurricane Katrina the image of the City of Houston and Harris County changed globally. That's amazing because of people like you - the citizens. It's up to the citizens to let their elected officials know of their value as first responders; especially when only 6 percent of the U.S. population is certified first responders.

Action Quotes

Ability Quotes

Center Quotes

Control Quotes
Obviously, their game plan was to go after our skill players, and that's posturing for the playoffs. That's the way the playoffs are. You earn every inch of space on the ice.

Asking Quotes

Added Quotes
Nearly 96 hours after the Observer had reported it, I called Times deputy foreign editor Alison Smale and asked why not.

Across Quotes
I was shocked that he called it pork, as far as I'm concerned (Sulzer) slapped the constituents of the 18th district across the face. I've worked with local officials on both sides of the aisle and on every level, and I've always found a way to (return) taxpayer dollars. We've had a good track record.

Advocate Quotes
I don't know that Johnny wasn't looking at pictures of his kids in that little booth. I'm still an advocate of instant replay, but I've long been an advocate of taking it off the field. Let's take it upstairs.

Calling Quotes
I can't really criticize because I really don't know the fine line of detail that goes with officiating. Am I biased? Of course I'm biased. I always want it to go in Tampa Bay's favor.

Certainly Quotes
If one shop in the state of New Jersey has to have a license, then every shop has to be licensed. What we normally find in unlicensed shops is poor workmanship. Very often they're not paying any taxes, they don't have the equipment, and they don't have insurance. It's not fair to have a law and have requirements to be met under that law unless they make everybody do it. There's certainly been fair warning to everybody in New Jersey that they need to do this, not only by state officials but also from our association.
