Dave Phillips Quotations

I go to a lot of wine dinners and people are surprised that our wine sells for $25. They're used to paying $50 for a good bottle of wine.

I thought we did really well, ... We had three applicants for this program. We applied with three (farms) and got all three.

I think the safest prediction of all would be that January 2007 will be colder than January 2006.

I still shake my head about that one. It would make for a hot day in June, let alone January.

It definitely shows what the figures have shown all year. Home sales continue to be strong.

We do support the city of Orr's concern for safety, ... But we're still in the research mode here. Just because a law is passed doesn't mean that the local police or other law enforcement are capable of enforcing it. We don't know if we have enforceability yet. We're hoping it's something that the railroad will work out with the city of Orr rather than becoming an adversarial relationship.

Trees breath just like we do, and their lungs were tainted by all this bad air.

While so many children are agonizing through this tragedy, ... those who suffered through the nightmare in the Superdome draw strongly on our compassion.

We knew the first goal of the second half was going to be crucial. It went 2-0, and it was over. We couldn't match Pensacola as far as quality.

This year I'll be ecstatic with third place. Would I be satisfied with third for the rest of my life? No way. But that may be our lot with those two guys (Louisiana Monroe and Louisiana Lafayette) spending all that money every year.

As it is right now, these guys are stacking up on talent, and they're able to get foreign skiers that we're not able to get because they can pay for all the tuition, ... They're able to go into Russia and to France, and they get these up-and-coming international stars.

The team showed a lot of heart tonight. We're 11-2 in dual meets, so I think that gave us a lot of confidence coming into the tournament. We're a very balanced team and they all gave their best, so I'm very proud.

I like it because it joins the two sexes basically. The men want the women to win as much as the women want the men to win.

In times like these, when the suffering of children is immeasurable, ... it is encouraging to meet so many people who are willing to sacrifice for the sake of one little child.

The entire country is basking in warmer-than-normal temperatures.

The character and personality of certainly March, and into April and May looks like a little cooler than normal, maybe not the news Canadians want to hear.
