Johnson Quotations | Page 2

Johnson & Johnson is negotiating in public, and that's never a good sign. We don't expect them to get the deal done immediately, but there are plenty of opportunities for the deal to come together over the coming months.

Johnson & Wales has had a hard year. They will be excited to play a Division I team. It should be a fun homecoming for former Highland High star Eric Daniels.

Johnson Controls is honored to be recognized by the socially responsible investment community for our commitment to sustainable business practices,

Johnson County is a great fit for Heather and Emily. Debbie Carrier is an excellent coach and these two girls will be big assets to their program.

Johnson doesn't know it, but I completed more miles than he did by the time he took the checkered at Daytona. I was already flying west.

Johnson, for starters, was not good at the sittings. At one, he fell asleep. At another sitting, he would not sit still -- he was pacing and was too busy talking with one of his advisers. And then in the final chapter, at the private unveiling of this portrait at the Johnson ranch, the first thing that Johnson said was, 'That's the ugliest thing I have ever saw.' And so ended the ... sweet relationship between Johnson and Herd.

Johnson is an outstanding team and I have no doubt that they could win that game. I think our area is as tough as it comes and it would surprise me to see several of us or all of us advance. But, there are a lot of good teams out there so we'll have to play our best to advance.

Johnson is a player, but he also got good blocking upfront. They put eight players back to stop the pass, so we've got to run.

Johnson is dead. - Let us go to the next best: - There is nobody; no man can be said to put you in mind of Johnson.

Johnson is really a good, tough back. If you don't wrap him up, he just keeps going.

Johnson might not have known anything. It's legal to give members of Congress campaign contributions.

Johnson orchestrated numerous strategic acquisitions to expand the presence of Hormel Foods, most notably The Turkey Store. He refined the company's marketing strategy to significantly advance the sale of value-added products, and established Hormel Foods as a significant player in the ethnic foods marketplace,

Johnson played great. We did a lot of different things on him defensively, but he was able to get shots or get teammates shots.

Johnson was a bad pitch (that was supposed to be) low and away. The ball came over the inside part of the plate, and he turned on it.

I'm so excited. Man, it's going to be awesome. Last year's Opening Day was a day game in Baltimore, and it didn't really have the sort of atmosphere this year will have. We'll be at home, it's the Yankees and Randy Johnson -- that's just perfect. It couldn't be any better.

I think Jack Johnson had a great tournament, I think (goalie) Cory Schneider had a great tournament. A lot of the guys at the bottom of our lineup played really well. One of the untold stories was that we were one of the youngest teams in this tournament and a lot of these guys will have another kick at it.

I think Joe's worth every bit of being a max player in this league. He's proven that with his play. But just like he was in Phoenix, he's a piece to the puzzle here. Joe Johnson is a big part of that puzzle. He has to be a big focal point.

I still wouldn't count Johnson & Johnson out from putting another bid in. They're doing a little bit of lobbying behind the scenes. They're interested.

I thought he was going to come over and have a cup of coffee with me but as soon as he spotted myself, he ran like Ben Johnson in the Olympic Games.

I suspect $68 is Johnson & Johnson's best offer ? they don't have much room to go higher.

I suspect that Johnson & Johnson will be in the market sooner rather than later.

Josh Johnson started off slow, because his arm wasn't real strong. But he's gotten stronger and thrown really well lately. His last four or five starts have really been strong.

I think the football players, as a whole, have done a great job of representing the institution. They have done well academically and militarily. You take a look at the track record of the program since Paul Johnson has been here, there hasn't been many issues in four years.

I think a lot of Jimmie Johnson and his talent and stuff, but I'm pretty sure at least three out of his last four (wins) ... have had (issues) with the cars being illegal.

Rep. Johnson abused the public trust by using the power of his office to harass an organization which had taken a position with which he disagreed. Such actions are specifically prohibited by federal law and ethics rules and the House ethics committee should immediately commence an investigation into Rep. Johnson's disgraceful conduct.

Rep. Nancy Johnson has always been a champion of legislation to protect the Arctic Refuge as a wilderness area. Showing great independence, Rep. Johnson has led the effort in the House to block efforts to use the budget process to open up the refuge to oil and gas exploration. Her leadership has been indispensable to the millions of Americans who place a priority on safeguarding our environment and protecting America?s great wilderness areas.

Our $80 per share offer for Guidant is compelling. We are providing Guidant shareholders with certainty of completion, significant upside potential and substantially more value today than the Johnson & Johnson transaction. By any objective measure, our offer is clearly superior to Johnson & Johnson's.

Pabst Blue Ribbon. I'm from Johnson City, Tennessee. I gotta go Pabst.

Our biggest question is how do we replace the consistency at shortstop that we had the last four years with Jennifer Johnson . We also need to establish our pitching depth and the catcher position. Like last year, I feel very good about our offense, which is why our defense will be so important.

Our goal is to keep him from making big plays, but you also have to be careful with focusing everything on him. Because the thing is, they have a team full of stars. (Running back) Rudi Johnson might get going while you're focusing on Chad, then you go after Rudi, and Chad comes back and strikes. He can cause a lot of problems for you.

I think he's really undermined his credibility at this point, and it really saddles him with the kind of problems that Johnson and Nixon faced. These crises are such a heavy burden, and they are so self-inflicted, except for the court vacancies, that if he is not very careful and tries to put across someone who is seen as an ultraconservative, he is going to touch off a conflagration in the Senate.

I think I'm like the Chad Johnson of basketball.

I think I can add some pass rush and take some pressure off Jevon on the other side. Jim Johnson mentioned to me how he likes to get at the quarterback and pressure the passer. I think I can help this team do that.

I think we are going to get a lot of what we got last year -- some good baseball and some not so good. I think they still need a slugger at first base. Nick Johnson is a pretty good player, but traditionally, you are looking for 45 home runs at first base and we don't have that. We have to make it up at other places. I'm pretty happy with their acquisition. They really strengthen their bench and that was a big thing.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome Charlotte back into the NBA, since we appreciate how supportive their fans have been in the past. We are particularly excited to have Robert Johnson as our newest owner. Bob has shown a great understanding for building a new company, and we are confident in his ability to develop a strong NBA organization.

I think it's brilliant. The worst-case outcome for them is that they delay Johnson and force them to pay several million dollars more for Guidant, which weakens them as a competitor.

I thought we got a little tired after playing sensational defense for three quarters. Then Johnson started getting hot and they got close.

We were going to run the battery labels down there. Delphi ended up selling that particular business to Johnson Controls in Milwaukee.

The problem that Johnson & Johnson and any company even half the size of Johnson & Johnson faces is buying something that can impact their growth rate, and that's not an easy task.

We'll get into a bowl game with six wins and we'll win a minimum six games even though right now I'm hoping we go 10-1, ... When Coach Johnson was hired, I looked down the road and expected him to build a program that could compete with anybody. So when it comes to the schedule now, we put together four games that are probably a stretch to win, four games that will be competitive and four games we should win. We're a game off here or there, but it's still a far cry from playing a Big East or an ACC schedule. That won't happen.

We know that Bocanegra and Johnson are certainly capable of playing 90. Beasley is a question mark. Therefore, we have not made a decision about his status yet for Saturday.

We are delivering on the expectations we set forth in October and remain confident that 2006 will be another record year for Johnson Controls.

I would love Scott Johnson to stay. Everyone in the squad would. He's an amazing coach and person.

I was a whiz kid at music, and cooking was more of a challenge. I eventually went to culinary school, Johnson & Wales.

That's a typical Calvin Johnson day. I just had to give him an outlet.

We had to make adjustments on offense and defense at halftime. Those kids from Johnson are good. They can flat shoot the lights out. We had to go to a kind of half-man, half-zone 'D' to try and stop them.

Michael Johnson has competed well. Adam Hawes is a guy we are really happy with. I think those are all quality players. We need to get them in shape and get stronger.

Microsoft is unveiling a major reorganization today to help get Vista out the door. Some of the major changes include the appointing of three new officers to the three major divisions. The Microsoft Platform Products & Services Division will be led by Kevin Johnson and Jim Allchin as co-presidents; Jeff Raikes has been named president of the Microsoft Business Division; and Robbie Bach has been named as president of Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division. In addition, the company said Ray Ozzie will expand his role as chief technical officer by assuming responsibility for helping drive its software-based services strategy and execution across all three divisions.

We were a bit nervous when a few of the entourage came out scouting the site the previous day that they would change their minds about the tour. But they were actually excited and explained that Mr. Johnson was first a scientist and would really be interested in the equipment, the lab and the whole process. They are a very hands-on agency and told us they spend a lot of time in places like this.

Those guys came in off the bench and did a great job. In the last six and a half minutes of the third quarter, they held Johnson to six points and scored 18. That kind of depth and energy coming off the bench makes us a more difficult team to play against.

We continue to believe our $72 (a share) proposal is better for Guidant, its shareholders and its employees than Johnson & Johnson's revised offer. We are offering significantly more value, and there is strong upside potential over time.

We continue to believe our $72 (per share) proposal is better for Guidant, its shareholders and its employees than Johnson & Johnson's revised offer. We are offering significantly more value, and there is strong upside potential over time. We continue to move forward on our due diligence with the goal of reaching a definitive agreement with Guidant.

We put (Jeffrey) Thornburg on (Josh) Johnson and he did a great job. Our linebackers did a great job. The defense did a super job all night,

We do some newer songs too by artists like The Goo Goo Dolls, Jack Johnson and Jet.

We had to stop the run, keep (David) Johnson contained and not let them hit the long bomb. Today, it went well. The way I look at it, we're 4-0 and two more wins we're in the state playoffs. If we keep winning we'll make the Prep Bowl, but I don't look forward to playing them again.

We use the Naval Academy and Air Force Academy as our models, ... I have to give credit to Johnson and his staff. They turned it around so quickly. It's amazing how fast they have done it.

We have plenty of guys on offense who can play, we just need to find 11 who can do it together. I'm not sure they were on the field enough last week to know how they fit together. James Johnson ran 65 yards on a counter for the first play of the drive, so what can I say? I can't get mad at my offense for scoring too quickly.

We decided Alfonso, being a big body, was probably going to be the best bet for us. (Defensive line coach) Don Johnson felt very confident in his ability. Alfonso's a very sharp individual out there, and he did a tremendous job.

We tried some. Johnson is a guy that was doing a good job of staying out of harm's way when it came to that (sixth) foul. We did a couple of things, but if you go too much out of what's working to try to get a sixth foul, you can disrupt your own team. That's something you don't want to do.

We did have one to two families displaced, and the Red Cross was able to put them up at the Howard Johnson Hotel in North Bergen.

This project was approved before Terry Johnson was mayor. When Terry lived in the house (on Barnwell), he paid $2,000 a month rent just like anyone else. He didn't get any favors. He paid rent. He paid utilities.

There is no doubt that the hard work of the Johnson staff and district staff as we implement new teaching and learning strategies is at the heart of this recognition, ... We are very proud of Johnson Elementary and our staff, and we fully anticipate that we will see more success as we move forward.

Johnson Publishing offered me an opportunity to build back iconic brands like Ebony and Jet magazines.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) we get numbers on industrial production and housing and big reports from Intel, Coke, Johnson & Johnson -- maybe that can turn us around.

We had an opportunity to coach him in the Pro Bowl and that's a special player. Andre Johnson has turned into one of the better receivers in the National Football League.

We are providing the shareholders of Guidant with certainty of completion, significant upside potential and substantially more value today than the Johnson & Johnson transaction. By any objective measure, our offer is clearly superior to Johnson & Johnson's.

We definitely wanted to cut his water off and shut him down. He's a key player on their team. Once we did that, we knew the rest of the guys would have a tough time if we just played solid. But Johnson played very well tonight and their guards hit some big shots as well.

We won this game on defense tonight. We wanted to take Chelsea Johnson out of her game and make her work for everything ...This is a good start for this year.

We are always going to put the pressure on the likes of (Shane) Watson and Johnson and Lewis.

We laid out a lot of money on the thought that the rain forest is going to be in Johnson County. Some of the initial interest did coincide with the rain forest going in Coralville. We had thought of marketing (Villages of Tiffin) as a less expensive option for businesses, and they would have the same access to some of the touristy type of attractions.

With about two minutes left in the game, Johnson County started fouling us. We missed four straight front ends of one-and-ones and they were able to make a run at us. Debbie hit two free throws toward the end to give us the win.

When Kennedy could not get the civil rights bill passed - and he was the big liberal - Lyndon Johnson came in and it got passed, and he was the conservative and the southerner. So sometimes in politics, to get something done, it takes a special kind of knowledge and a special kind of person, but it doesn't always follow the party lines.

When Chris Johnson runs for three yards, it makes you a little concern. I don't know if we are creating huge holes for them. We have to look at it and try to figure out what the problem is. This is a defense that plays a shell and will make you get four, five or six and say in a 80-yard drive you will shoot yourself in the foot. That worries me because we have had a tendency to shoot ourselves with mistakes.

We think this is a good move for Johnson and Johnson. It boosts their pharmaceutical (sales) growth also brings them expertise in research and development of drug delivery.

We think we have made a step, but we have some more to climb. If we can run five healthy ladies at conference, we are going to give Johnson County all they can handle.

If Anthony Johnson ever gets a jumper, who's going to stop him?

Watch Jason Johnson . That's the guy who really impressed us last season. He's going to be a real good one, real good.

While Johnson & Johnson has the clear technology lead, the risk they run is in setting the price. If the price is favorable, doctors will reward them when new products come to market.

Whenever Mr. Johnson sent out flowers of condolence, he asked for red roses more often than not.

Working with coach Johnson and those guys, when it came time to change things up to get ready for the combine, they were able to make a program that fit my lifestyle right away.

We're going to keep sending him out there. He will get there. Kris Johnson on his game is as good as any left-handed pitcher in America.

We're going to have a lot of tough matches and our sectional looks tough. But Landon, Johnson and Knuth are looking good right now.

We are providing Guidant shareholders with certainty of completion, significant upside potential and substantially more value today than the Johnson & Johnson transaction. By any objective measure, our offer is clearly superior to Johnson & Johnson.

We believe that the completion techniques that further improved our drilling economics in Johnson County can be applied to our acreage in the western counties where we have seen improved drilling results over the past three months. This provides the assurance to actively pursue development in these areas.

We knew who their two big guys were - Joe Johnson and Harrington. You don't want to let the stars beat you. We did a good job of stopping Harrington in the second half.

Big government conservatism is an oxymoron. In 1965 Lyndon Johnson built public housing. Now it looks like we will build trailer parks. This will be defining, in the sense that the neo-cons will end up saying government can do this. The real hero of these people is FDR. I don't happen to believe any of this will work. You can't rebuild New Orleans society.

Bilbo's a former quarterback and I've seen what he can do over the years. He's a special player. They've got great athletes. You can get hit with Daniels and Johnson and then they come with Bilbo. They've got a multi-headed attack.

Bob Johnson had the vision to create a network for us when nobody else was.

Bob Johnson tried everything to get him to play with consistency. The trick was to try something different to keep him interested. One time, Nilsson even was sharpening his own skates and it worked for a while,

Even Johnson doesn't defend like that. They're just so quick and they can defend off the dribble so well. They used their speed and got in our faces.

You hold Jack Johnson to four points and you're a superstar defensively.

Unbelievable sequence of events at the end. When you have opportunities to close out games, you've got to take advantage of them. On the play at the end of regulation, we had a chance to get the rebound, the ball gets knocked loose, and Johnson hits the three.

I started with a guy named Magic Johnson . Through him, I started working with players like Karl Malone and Bo Kimble . I met and trained Shaquille O'Neil when he was still with the Orlando Magic.

It would be great for me to be a part of Larry Johnson rushing for 2,000 yards, at this time in my career. That's something I never imagined being a part of, and that would be exciting.

While we all respect Sam Johnson for his military record and have empathy for his past sufferings, the incumbent has insulted the very man who got him out of the Hanoi Hilton by negatively comparing him to George Bush.

We were down seven coming back after the half, and Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson hadn't sniffed a lick. You figure if you got those two guys going we've got a legitimate shot, but we just fell in the tank in the third quarter.

The Supreme Court of the United States is hereby commanded to try Andrew Johnson for usurpation of our Imperial authority and prerogatives, and if found guilty, behead him or send him here to black the Emperor's boots.

The sign of a great player is that players around him become better. Lawrence has that and it's a rare commodity. Players who fall into that category would include Ellery Hanley, Martin Johnson and, I guess, Dean Richards, although I didn't see much of him as a player. Others may be more physically talented than them but they can't match their competitive edge. It means so much to them they go through pain to get there.

The talent, man, was outrageous. Rudi Johnson was already there, and we were busting Rudi Johnson. Our whole scout team defense had fun out there.
