Dave Johnson Quotations

With the sale of Milk-Bone, we're better able to focus our time and resources on opportunities that provide us with greater potential for long-term growth.

We did lose Jenny, which was a big thing because she had played for four years. Luckily, we have Heather, which makes a huge difference. We haven't really lost anything in the leadership role or someone who can take over.

There is a loss, but kids quickly recover that lost learning and progress.

We're continuing to sharpen our focus on core categories that enable us to benefit from our scale and maintain sustainable competitive advantage. Milk-Bone is a great brand, but has very different retail channel dynamics than other Kraft brands. With the sale of Milk-Bone, we're better able to focus our time and resources on opportunities that provide us with greater potential for long-term growth.

She's the best pitcher we've had, by far. Back in her freshman year, she was the first pitcher we had . . . we could call any pitch on any count, and even as a freshman, you were 60-percent confident she was gonna hit her spot.

Obviously this is not the result or the season that we had hoped for, but the one thing I'll say is I think our kids came out and battled and every game we fought hard. I think that represents what we're trying to do at Lake Land. I'm sorry to see these five sophomores go because they've given a lot to the program in the two years they've been here.

I feel like we're doing a better job of pressuring the ball and at the same time we have a better recognition of what we're doing overall in terms of our scheme and our scouting report.

Giving half answers won't make the conversation half as long.

If we win the state title this year, they can do whatever they want.

He is passionate about coaching, he values and develops each athlete's unique skills and leadership abilities, and he challenges both his veteran athletes and neophytes to be better persons in and out of the pool.

I think it validates what we're trying to do. We've been so close for so long that they understand that we can play these teams as long as we scrap and fight like we did tonight.

I think it's Rachel starting to show what Rachel can do. Rachel's a very quiet kid who I think has always been very unselfish. We want her to be more assertive and now she's starting to be more assertive.

It has always been a dream to go to that next level. Getting paid to play basketball is a great feeling.

Last year, our role players did a great job. This year, thus far, they are not making the easy buckets when they get a chance to. That is making it a little more difficult for us to score.

Over the last few years, Elliott has developed a deep understanding of the legal imperatives facing the music industry in the digital age. In addition, he has played a significant part in several of our corporate transactions, including the acquisition of Word Entertainment and the sale of Warner Bros. Publications and our interest in The Columbia House Company.

Our feeling here at AT&T is that we won't close the book on Y2K until February 29. First of all, we need all our billing systems to run a full cycle and then we want to take a close look at the leap year.

Patrick embodies all the wonderful things that Jack Donohue stood for,

I was in a lot of trouble as a kid.

I think if we were awarding a half-million-dollar contract to anybody ... we would put it up for bid. I think the citizens would expect us to do so.

That was just huge. To be able to control the ball at that time was the difference. That, and we made our shots at the critical moments. This is a big win for us because it gives us confidence going into the playoffs.

We're definitely monitoring what's going on. We have talked to Costco, but we're not in the business of courting businesses in an adjacent town.

We played pretty well in the scrimmage for having 10 new kids. We're moving very, very slow with everything. But we're working hard. That's half the battle.

We have a good mix with the kids we have coming back and our new kids.

We have always taken second or third. That was one of our goals going into the year. That, and win the regional and sectional were our three goals. We have accomplished the first one, and now we have the other two coming up.

We were just flat offensively. We weren't quick to the ball on loose balls in the first half. To me, we took a lot of shots that we kind of hoped would go in. We didn't really shoot them with confidence.

We're mad. Plain and simple, we're mad and we're disappointed with our effort tonight because this is a game we really should have won. There's a lot of ifs in life, but we're mad and disappointed and that's exactly the way I want them to be. I don't want them to feel good about a game where they only gave effort in the second half.

We are grateful to our employees for their commitment and dedication to the Milk-Bone brand, and wish them continued success in the future.

When I started growing corn almost 40 years ago, we weren't considered in the Corn Belt at all. We were considered too far north, so the seed companies weren't breeding any corn for this region. Things have changed a lot.

There's actually been a few situations like that ... Brothers who were Dan and Dave that I've heard of.

The Scientific unit has tremendous potential for growth as we are entering new markets with some of the best technology available. The products we develop for Homeland Security and the Military have to be simple to use, rugged and provide timely answers rather than data. The scientific community is looking for this same type of efficient performance from their analytical instruments and Smiths Detection Scientific is using its experience in adjacent markets to fill that need.

It would be a mistake to close the 179th,

Some will want to build it back up but I have one dealer who is 81 years old; what's she going to do?

Romania, believe me, is a 'new' country and much less expensive.

Put on your high-heeled sneakers. Wear your wig on your head.

Our customers have called and e-mailed us, requesting these odds be available to them during the trials. They are very interested in the outcome for these cases, Our customers like to bet on what they see and hear on television, and this case has no shortage of media attention and hype.

This is a record that few people thought would ever be challenged. Rollins has the advantage of having ended last season on a roll and having all off-season to rest and work on his hitting. If Rollins can handle the pressure of chasing one of the most sacred MLB baseball records in history, he could have a really good shot at breaking it.

This decision is consistent with Kraft's strategy to shift our portfolio toward businesses in which we have sustainable competitive advantage.

That's the fear of the bloggers that being part of the DLC is just accepting that we have to move to the right.

It was a good defensive game. We made sure our attitude was right this week and came out and competed.

They are going to use fear to try and win the next election. This Bush crowd is dividing us and terrifying us, setting us against each other an making us afraid, and doing it so they can win elections.

I want to play and I want to lead my team to the top. I want to go out there every game and play my best.

That's a key for us. Not only the percentage but the number of free throws. We're being a little more aggressive going to the basket which is good, which is what we want.

That's all we practiced against, was against a zone, because they went man-to-man the first two games and I was pretty sure they were not going to do that again. From the naked eye, you would have thought we were surprised by that.

If you have peer-to-peer software on your company computer, you must remove it immediately, ... Failure to do so, and the failure to respect music copyrights may lead to disciplinary action, including termination. Beginning shortly, we will scan our computer network to detect the presence of file sharing software on company computers.

I don't think the organizing committee wanted a trial; I don't think we did, but it came down to something that had to be done. There's no other way for us to get out in the open what really happened. I mean the Justice Department has not looked at what really happened. They've looked at what they could do to make their case.

This is a highly visible project, especially along Lincoln and Mill streets, ... We hope the concept plan will be ready by November.

A good overall attitude, staying healthy, and working hard everyday to improve on last year's league record are our goals.
