Georgia Quotations

These illegal aliens are criminals and we need to treat them as such. I'm not in favor of giving amnesty to anybody who has broken the law. I applaud what our Georgia legislature is doing in trying to crack down on this situation.

I think there are three main values which are fundamental: that Georgia will never be a criminal country, that Georgia will never return to corruption, and that Georgia will be independent.

I've come to realize how much it really was a part of my upbringing, the Georgia part. We were away from town. It was just dirt and trees and spouses. And a lot of kids - my cousins, who were all like brothers and sisters to me - just a lot of kids at one time.

While shooting 'Selma,' I would train on my off time with the assistant men's track and field coach at Georgia Tech.

I did community theater in Georgia and called myself a ballet dancer.

There are certain things that we take for granted that simply would not have existed without the great migration. Motown, for example, would not have existed - it simply would not, because Berry Gordy, the founder of it, his parents had migrated from Georgia to Detroit where he founded Motown, and where did he get his talent?

Be cocky. Walk into the Georgia Dome like you own it.

There is no chance of a revolution in Georgia.

When you combine the men and women deployed from our military installations with activated reservists and members of the National Guard, Georgia is contributing more personnel to the theatre than any other State in our Union.

In the younger days of the Republic there lived in the county of - two men, who were admitted on all hands to be the very best men In the county; which, in the Georgia vocabulary, means they could flog any other two men in the county.

It is in Virginia and Georgia that the war now rages and where it will continue; for at these points - Richmond and Atlanta - the enemy's main strength is concentrated.

I believe Georgia should aspire to nothing less than greatness. And I believe greatness is within our grasp.

I majored in Shakespearean studies at a very tiny school in Georgia.

My mom has an English accent, so we always referred to the trunk as the 'boot.' And then, suddenly, we moved to Georgia and I would say things like 'open the boot' with a bit of an accent, and I quickly realized I had to adapt; that kind of thing will get you beat up!

The post-Cold War order in Europe is finished, with Vladimir Putin its executioner. Russia's invasion of Georgia only marked its passing. Russia has emerged as a born-again 19th-century power determined to challenge the intellectual, moral and institutional foundations of the order.

We must remember, too, that the Russian population of the Caucasus are to a large extent Muslims, and the areas such as Georgia which have aspirations of their own.

I was never the mascot of the Georgia football team.

Georgia is in an enviable position today, but we cant rest on our laurels.

I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore.

I was a Georgia state legislator for a great many years

I am committed to making Georgia a model for open and honest government

The Greens have never been on the ballot in Georgia because of restrictive ballot access laws.

If you're going to play high school football, you do it in Texas or Florida or Georgia for the simple fact it's such a big deal.

I am a Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech.

The external world is committed to helping Georgia settle its problems.

Georgia was a great place to live, but I wanted to get out because I knew the opportunities for what I was doing - stand-up comedy and eventually acting - were in Los Angeles.

I went to high school in Columbia. I met my first wife, Richards, whom I married while I was working on a B.S. in chemistry at Georgia Tech. She bore Louise, and I studied. I learned most of the useful technical things - math, physics, chemistry - that I now use during those four years.

In my home country, there was a little shop with old books, but it was really in the countryside. You couldn't find English books. I found this very avant-garde American art book that had information about Georgia O'Keeffe. I was very much impressed by her.

Unfortunately, if you've ever been in southern Georgia on the beaches in a lightning storm, if you're out there, you're in great, great danger, and you can be killed very, very quickly.

Sprinting for a full day in Atlanta in midsummer proved very challenging. That humidity is crazy. Georgia is a beautiful state, but the weather is intense. I was warned, but for some reason I thought it would be like L.A. in the summer. The reality? No.

One thing I've been thinking about is taking the social issues out of national politics. For example, if Georgia wanted abortion and Alabama didn't, that's going to be up to the people in Georgia. I can't sway them. Would I give them advice not to? Absolutely. Would I say it's wrong? Yes.

Only the most technologically savvy universities are able to compete in the field of drug discovery and bioinformatics. Georgia Tech's focus on top-of-the-line technology and research facilities and the attraction of Dr. Jeff Skolnick and other world-class scholars will raise its presence in this competitive market and attract some of the nation's brightest students to join our research team to advance medicines that will improve the well-being of people everywhere.

I wouldn't mind playing with the rest of my Georgia guys up there.

Obviously we started slowly in the second half, it was disappointing, but their defense got after it. They're just a tremendous team. I thought we played a great game today. Obviously Georgia had too many weapons, they had such an inside presence with Humphrey.

One of our roles at the Forestry Commission is to provide Georgia landowners with high-quality, accurate and timely timber price information. Georgia has 24.3 million acres of forestland available for commercial use and timber is the highest valued vegetative crop in the state. Since timber prices vary across the state, Forest2Market had divided Georgia into three primary timber pricing regions. Forest2Market's report will serve as a valuable tool to help Georgia's Forest Products Industry compete in the global market. We are pleased to provide a timber market report specific to Georgia.

Nobody we've played this season, ... has come with this much size, this much talent and this much experience. North Carolina and Georgia Tech probably have the most overall talent. Now that they're healthy, they're probably believing they can do it.

Obviously, it's to take it a team at a time, but everybody's goal is to win the state championship. We just want to prove people wrong. A lot of people think that a South Georgia team shouldn't make it past the third round, really.

Obviously I'm very happy to be here. Georgia Tech is a special place, and I'm looking forward to many more years here.

Obviously, I'm very happy to be here. When I came here, my expectation was to finish my career at Georgia Tech, and this is a big step in that direction.

Obviously this is a great victory. Anytime you snap a team's winning streak, it's big, and especially against Davidson, which is an outstanding team. I'm just happy for our players. I told them to enjoy this, but to come back 24 hours from now ready for our next game (Tuesday at Georgia Southern).

New Orleans was my home, ... Everything we own is gone now. I used to go home to Georgia and wouldn't have any clothes because everything was (in New Orleans). Now it's going to be the same way.

I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and as far as my exposure to theatre, my mom is a ballet director, and she has her own ballet company down there. I started, I think, when I was four when I went onstage for the first time as Fritz in The Nutcracker. That's how it started with me.

I don't feel bad about us going in to try and meet those challenges. First and foremost, Georgia Southern is going to come in here running the offense that we saw against Navy (last season).

I don't know that we've ever brought in four tackles of that size in one class, even when we were at Georgia Tech. We've got some players.

If they beat Duke, they've got to be considered seriously for the NCAA. It would be tough at 7-9 (in the ACC during the regular season). We went 8-8 at Georgia Tech one year and didn't go.

Last year, we probably had seven or eight teams ranked in the top 25. This year, we don't have as many, but Florida and Georgia are the cream of the crop.

We need to market the program and sell tickets by making the city notice Georgia Tech and all that good things that are happening on campus.

Legislation introduced in Georgia is in violation of federal law.

Sixty-five is OK, but we have states in this region - West Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia - that have a 70 mph speed limit. There's no reason we can't transition (to that).

Mike Perry is a well-respected coach who has brought and will continue to bring distinction to Georgia State's men's basketball program. We look forward to him being with the program for many years to come.

Many terrorists who have committed terrible crimes in the past and who operated in Chechnya are staying in Georgia now and of course they are full of new plans for terrorist operations. All that is taking place just 10 to 20 kilometers from the Russia state border, so we can't sit and watch those activities indifferently.

She's just starting to get back into the loop. And I think sometimes the SEC can be a little daunting for all freshmen when you're looking at kids that you've had their poster up on your wall. When you're facing a Georgia or Tennessee, we need to work her in and let her get a feel for the game.

She's more experienced. If you look back at some of the mistakes that she made earlier in the season, she's not making those kind of mistakes any more. Having played in the North Carolina game, having played in the Rutgers game, against a team like Georgia she's going to face some quick guards again and she's going to be ready this time I think.

Let me say with a Georgia accent that we cannot solve this problem if it requires a diplomatic passport to claim the rights of an American citizen.

I feel strongly about Georgia Tech. I love Georgia Tech and I'm pretty good at communicating that. If they want me, I'd be honored.

From a budgetary standpoint, we?re nowhere close to the Tour de Georgia or Tour of California. They have budgets around $3 to $4 million. Ours is under $100,000. The difference there is pretty striking. Even though our course and level of road racing in the event mimics those of the larger events, in terms of the prize money we can offer and the caliber of athlete we hope to get to come, we really can?t compete until we have a larger budget. That?s the hard and fast reality. We?d like to get to that budget, but we?re not there yet.

I don't think it's overrated. They've done a nice job on defense all season long. They're ranked No. 10 in the country (defending the run) because they've got good players and they play hard. But by the same token, it's a great opportunity for us and great challenge for our guys to line up against a quality defense like Georgia Tech and see what we can do.

I explained to him that a team builds around its quarterback, ... I told him that Georgia was not going to change from David Greene to someone else. I told him that D.J. was the No. 2 quarterback.

If anybody said coming in, Georgia was going to win this thing, they would have said no way. But they just got on a roll.

I expected this kind of performance after the Georgia game. We probably had an inflated perception of ourselves going into Athens.

I believe the votes are there and I believe it is up to the people of Georgia to let their legislators know that it's good common sense.

Certainly that Georgia job is one of the best in the country.

But Georgia has maintained a reputation for having the best, most consistent-tasting peanuts around because our growers get the crop in when it needs to come in. We need to continue doing this, because the peanut industry is competitive, and consumers will taste the difference.

Business today is conducted on a global level, and it's important for Georgia to retain its competitive edge in the world market,

Basically, Georgia Tech had more energy than us. And I do think that we also missed some shots that we normally hit. And it was the players that I would want taking them.

We've got to slow him down some. He looks like those linebackers that play at Georgia and Tennessee.

We've got to use this game today and take it to Georgia Tech.

We've got to win, period. Home or away. But we do have to win a game here for everybody involved. Could you imagine this place if that game (last week at Georgia Tech) was played here, won here, how crazy the fans and everything would have been on that last play.

We threw the ball too much in the Georgia Tech game. That was my fault. We didn't stick with our running game, and it cost us in the long run.

We talk about the tradition of Georgia Tech basketball when we go out recruiting, and in some sense, I feel like I owe those guys something, ... Now, we've built on that tradition, and now here we are in the Final Four.

We've got to look at what Georgia did and what led to a successful decision there. The one thing about our leadership in Texas Gov. Perry and some others they don't necessarily put the most money on the table, because we pride ourselves here in this state on having other competitive factors that make a company choose Texas.

I have spent my career trying to raise national awareness of information security issues through my various corporate and public policy positions. By joining the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, one of our nation's most progressive and innovative academic environments for computing, I can now provide my vision and insight to those research and educational initiatives that will drive the future development of cyber security solutions for the everyday computer user.

I'll always be a Georgia girl at heart, but I live in Los Angeles full time. My parents still live in Georgia, so I go home as often as I can.

He wanted to see could we do it under Georgia law.

We made too many physical and mental mistakes to hang in there with a team like Georgia .

I am a pet person. My dog actually lives in Georgia now. But I work with animal trainers and pets quite often. I also volunteer at different places like animal shelters. It's good to be around pets. They kind of put things into perspective. They're easygoing, loyal, and they seem to get it, even when humans don't.

He's grown up a Bulldog. His grandfather, his father, his uncle all played for Georgia, Georgia football is in his blood. I think it does help.

He has kids growing up in Georgia and he decided he couldn't be this far from home during the course of the season.

He should have said up front that helping farmers harvest crops in south Georgia is more important than educating children all over the state. Then school systems could have made a better decision whether to close or not,

He's a tough, good looking inside linebacker. He looks like those linebackers at Georgia and Tennessee and those other places.

Today is the greatest day in the history of Georgia -- this is the day of our dignity, the birth of a new Georgia.

Jon starts off and on for us. He knows some of the players on the Georgia State team and went out to dinner with the goalkeeper.

Thaddeus didn't shoot really well the other night, but the good thing about him is that he's not just a scorer. He can do other things, too. We also really liked his transcript. He's a Georgia Tech-type of kid.

That certainly seemed to be true in Georgia and Minnesota.

Steve has been unable to operate at the standards which we've set for Georgia basketball. I'm disappointed because I know what great benefit our program can be for a young man like Steve. But we wish him nothing but the best as he moves forward.

Playing a great schedule with teams like Notre Dame, Georgia has helped us so much.

President Bush is such a great guy. He's very down to earth. We actually talked some about Georgia football. I told him I think he's doing a heck of a job.

Particularly for Georgia State, every time they?re playing an away game they?re getting on an airplane, so obviously we?re trying to minimize those trips.

Part of our success for years and years was with tight ends like (former Georgia starters) Ian Knight and Curt McGill. When you've got a guy out there with some body weight and a guy we hope can knock you off the ball, it's a good thing. He's doing a good job. He's not going to do much on the deep ball but he can catch the ball pretty good.

People in, say, Georgia aren't sitting on the front porches singing anymore. They're inside in the air-conditioning, watching cable like everybody else.

I saw somewhere that the Georgia Dome is one of the easiest places for opposing teams to play. That's ridiculous. As far as I'm concerned, I can't imagine a worse place for a visiting team. It's a nightmare.

Jimmy Carter, as a former Navy man, in opposition against his own state of Georgia ... I think that's very important,

(Nationally), species such as the bald eagle have made a comeback because of targeted efforts. But unlike the federal program, Georgia does not have an individual recovery plan for each protected species.
