Juan Quotations

As a child, we visited the San Juan Islands during the summer. Kayaking, big family meals, playing on the beach - great memories!

Among the roles I've played on stage, television and in films were politicos as diverse as Abe Lincoln, Juan Peron, Herman Goering, George Wallace and both Roosevelts.

When I'm not working, my family and I have a house in the San Juan Islands. We've been here since '94.

The only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die.

Together, for over 50 years, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia have devoted themselves to Spain.

Juan Tripp was a friend. Good name for an airline man, huh? Juan Tripp after another?

I think Juan stopped short - he got halfway to the destination and got off the train. He is certainly an excellent writer and a good person, but I'm not a nationalist.

Obviously, Juan came into camp in great shape. He was hitting around .350 or .360 with Memphis. And he's played defense well. He did everything we asked him to do.

Ricky Hatton, Jose Luis Castillo, Diego Corrales and Jesus Chavez, we want to fight these guys. Believe me. In the year Juan has been out, I know he is a lot stronger than he used to be.

I got there just as Juan handed the boy to Lorenzo. They were working together. It was amazing to see from two 16-year-old kids.

If we can get them going in the middle of the lineup and get Juan Pierre on base, we've got a chance to have a lot of stuff happening.

Mike, he played his heart out. He and Juan both played great. I am proud of the way we played. Our guys stayed very positive.

So far, we didn't ask for visas yet. We are going to work also with Juan Miguel's (Gonzalez's) lawyer in this matter.

I have known a number of Don Juans who were good studs and who cavorted between the sheets without a psychiatrist to guide them. But most of the busy love-makers I knew were looking for masculinity rather than practicing it. They were fellows of dubious lust.

Kevin is a great player, like (Villa substitute Juan Pablo) Angel. He gave me a great ball and it was a shame he couldn't take his chance when I passed to him. But I think he is going to score a lot of goals for this club.

King Juan Carlos would be worthy of a full biography as a major player in his country's history. Alas, my Spanish is not good enough to offer myself!

I would urge the relatives in Miami, if they truly want to get back together with Juan Miguel and his family, that they give me a call and let's talk about timing. Let's discuss this in a civilized way, rather than having national press conferences where demands are made.

I am ready, willing, and would be honored to serve the citizens of San Juan County,

Building a bullpen calls for going from the back forward. Having an established closer like Nathan along with a reliable setup guy in Juan Rincon is a key. Then we had Jesse Crain emerge as a quality sixth- and seventh-inning reliever.

I have a lot of respect for His Majesty Juan Carlos. I call him Uncle Juan because he is an extraordinary person whom I have known for a long time.

Hitters have confidence and know the ball is going to be at a certain spot all the time. With an inexperienced setter, the ball is going to be three feet off the net or two feet. Juan is very consistent with his sets so our hitters know where to be and know what to expect from Juan.

I feel like if I can beat Juan Carlos on day one it gives Australia a huge advantage,

He drew a picture of Juan Miguel as a strong, sturdy man standing on top of a mountain -- a sign he looks up to his father as a protector.

I was delighted to receive the request from Juan Carlos late last night and it was an easy decision to give him the first of the men's wild cards.

Like the family, we are monitoring developments concerning the possible arrival of Juan Miguel Gonzalez in the United States. The Department of Justice and the INS have approached these discussions in good faith, and we hope to continue to move forward on Monday.

Physically, he's the same guy, but mentally, that hurt him. Castillo is a great fighter, and Juan knew he could beat him. He knew there were so many things riding on a win there. And it was a close, close fight, particularly in the first half. It hurt him to lose. Badly.

Our organization is not in support of this. This new excise tax will become one more factor in the housing costs in the San Juan Islands. And the people who will be hurt the most are those people who are trying to get their first house. It raises the bar for everyone.

I saw Juan Miguel and Elian within minutes afterward as they got out of the car and came to the location where they're going to be staying for the next couple of days on the air force base, ... It was clear that there was huge relief on Juan Miguel's face and a wonderful smile and ... comfortable physical contact between Elian and his father.

Last year and before Todd (was promoted), I would stay after practice with Juan and just work on my sets at left tackle, just in case. I don't have to worry about that anymore.

My parents and grandparents listened to bacheta heavy, the true bachata from back in the day - Juan Luis Guerra, Anthony Santos. I liked the genre, but I remember thinking, 'OK, enough of this.' I would sing Usher's 'U Remind Me' to the girls in school.

Manny has fought Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales in his last (four) fights. He's been in tough fight after tough fight, he's been taking on the best fighters of the era and I don't believe that a fighter needs to be a life-and-death fight every time. In this case Manny's coming off a real war with Morales and this is a tune-up fight for the next war with Morales.

I think that Juan is a great guy and a great director. He'll make a great addition to Red Light District.

Juan and Andres pledge themselves to a Latino empowerment organization.

Juan Diego is the one to go after ? both girls and boys.

Juan had something like six out of eight quality starts at the end of the year, and that's not counting 10 strikeouts earlier against the Yankees. There's no denying the ability. As he continues to mature, we'd like to look at him as someone we can rely on. If you look at the back end of the rotation guys around the league, he could be in the upper echelon.

Juan has a pretty good idea of when to run. There were quite a few guys who had green lights last year. It's just a matter of them running. I gave guys the green light a lot, but sometimes I was a bit upset when they didn't run. A real base stealer can run better when he feels he can run versus when you tell him to run.

Juan has been wanting to fight. If it was up to him, he would have defended his title three or four times in the past year instead of once.

Juan has built off of the success he had late in year with Texas. He has tried to solidify his status and is trying to compete for one of the open spots in the rotation. I think it is important that they are realizing that this is part of the opportunity to build and get better.

Juan has wheels and can handle the bat pretty well. Tony knows what he is doing. Juan is the type of hitter who can do a lot once he settles in and gets in his groove. He has a great stroke down through the zone. He's not the only one who struggled early. I hadn't been swinging the bat that well either. He's going to mean a lot to this lineup over the long run.

Juan is great to work with, very cool and philosophical and he is part of an exciting future for McLaren,

Juan is not a bad kid. But I think he was just searching for himself. Now he's going to graduate and get his diploma. Everybody knew he was capable.

Juan is one of the top young outside hitters in the country. He's an explosive jumper and that helps him attack fast. We have high hopes for him in 2006.

Juan Jose Alfonso now flies with God -- I am sure.

Juan loved flying more than any man I know. He was an accomplished pilot, but he spoke only a few words of English when he arrived here with an Argentinean commercial and instrument rating in 2002.

Juan loved to fly and Juan loved to teach flying. I have not (known) anyone who has flown with Juan who did not say he was a good pilot.

Juan Miguel is an honorable man. He has given his word. He will stay in the United States so long as the appeals process is under way.

Juan Miguel is coming as soon as he receives the guarantee from the Justice Department and the INS that he's going to receive the custody of his boy,

Juan Miguel needs to come to my house.

Juan Miguel said very clearly that he's ready to come alone to any city to pick up his child as soon as possible.

Juan not only achieved his flight instructor rating but also had an advanced instrument instructor rating. After six months as a charter pilot, Juan became an airline transport pilot. He accomplished all of this while working at odd jobs to pay his living and flying expenses. Without a doubt, Juan is one of the hardest workers I've ever seen.

Juan Pablo was just cruising and it's massively frustrating.

Juan Peron, I think in the end, had become a little resentful of Eva. She was so popular. She was so much more loved than he was. And he never wanted to be buried in the same tomb with her. So she was buried in her family crypt; he was buried in his own crypt.

Juan was a modern-day Ellis Island immigrant. He left his native country of Argentina to make a new life for himself and his family as a pilot in the United States.

Juan will always love Washington and the entire Washington area because he has so many great memories there. But he's excited about going to Portland, where he'll have the opportunity to expand his game and be a part of a young and improving team.

I think people are reluctant to talk about money because there's always a scorecard--a bank statement, a credit report, a pay stub--and if you screw up, it's right there. But with sex, it's easy to be Don Juan or Donna Juanita. I think the record of past transgressions in black and white is why money is our last taboo.

We anticipate long term relationships with both Kimi and Juan Pablo and consequently, the team is not in negotiations with any other driver, including Michael Schumacher.

We anticipate long-term relationships with both Kimi, who is currently competing in his fourth season with us, and Juan Pablo (Montoya).

We anticipate long-term relationships with both Kimi, who is in his fourth season with us, and Juan Pablo Montoya,

The arc of Ken Griffey Jr.'s swing has gotten bigger than when he hit line drives. Juan Gonzalez is a terrific power hitter, too.

We have brought in Danny and if Jay and Jim are struggling, then we might add one or two more of the younger players. Jimmy Juan is recovering from a foot injury so he is another concern for us as well.

That was a heck of a shot that Juan hit. You can't hit a ball any harder than that. I mean that was in the net as soon as it hit his foot.

Times are changing. I can't conceive what Juan Marichal and all those guys went through before. Today you have so many Latin players, so many Latino superstars, they take care of the kids when they come up to the big leagues. It's different now. It's totally different.

We like this kid and his stuff. This kid has got the ability to do anything in the Majors. Like Juan Dominguez, it's a matter of consistency.

We will guarantee Juan Miguel will be safe in this house and we will respect whatever is worked out with the family.

It doesn't matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.

When nothing is for sure, we remain alert, perennially on our toes. It is more exciting not to know which bush the rabbit is hiding behind than to behave as though we knew everything.

When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can still cling to.

A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance.

Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.

A warrior must learn to make every act count, since he is going to be here in this world for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.

Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow, you must not stay with it under any circumstances.

Self-importance requires spending most of one's life offended by something or someone.

Challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

A warrior seeks to act rather than talk.

A warrior acts as if he knows what he is doing, when in effect he knows nothing.

Nobody knows who I am or what I do. Not even I. Don Juan Matus

Life in itself is sufficient, self-explanatory and complete.

Among the roles Ive played on stage, television and in films were politicos as diverse as Abe Lincoln, Juan Peron, Herman Goering, George Wallace and both Roosevelts.

The perpetuation of these circumstances deprives Elian of his childhood, and Juan Miguel of his right to raise his family. These losses are irreplaceable, and weigh heavily in favor of declining to impose a stay or injunction.

When we have received assurances that Juan Miguel will be able to take custody of his son, but under circumstances that require him to remain in this country for a period of time, we will also be seeking permission for a support group of Elian's classmates, teachers and doctors to come to the United States to help smooth the transition,

We grew up devout Catholics, so my trips to San Juan always include going to the churches that we used to go to and lighting candles and everything. Everything I do in San Juan is what I used to do with my mom, kind of as a tribute to her.

U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt has been described as founder of the Bull Moose Party, the man who led his troops up San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War, a big game hunter, family man, civic servant and a host of other things.

We are looking forward to Juan hitting in the leadoff spot. This contract is a good conclusion to the winter for both Juan and us.

We know what Juan is capable of doing when he starts to feel it. We know he is going to be in the mind frame to show people why we should have kept him.

Edison and Juan both struggled today. We've got some other options besides those guys.

A tremendous sense of loss has rippled throughout the department. Juan Serrano was an extremely well-respected detective. He's put 17 dedicated years to protecting this community. He's going to be missed.

The win against Juan Carlos gave me a lot of confidence, and I feel very good about my game right now.

As the nation's leading retail provider of renewable energy, Edison International is committed to developing new, environmentally sensitive energy technologies to meet the growing demand for electricity throughout the U.S., ... The San Juan Mesa project will provide the people of New Mexico with a valuable new source of environmentally friendly electricity at a time of rising fossil-fuel costs.

We analyzed the market in Puerto Rico. Passengers want an easier, economy option rather than flying from San Juan International.

Both drivers put in a faultless performance today which should have given the team maximum points. Kimi claimed his win in a disciplined and controlled manner in very difficult conditions. Juan Pablo was the innocent victim of other people's mistakes but this should not distract from his race which was executed with true team spirit. We of course take some satisfaction from winning eight of the last 11 Grands Prix. As you can imagine we are looking forward to Brazil in a positive frame of mind.

Both the players and the coaches look forward to this game. It is nice to get a win over a rival, and especially considering the type of baseball program that Juan Diego has now. This is a big boost for our team.

That game in Orlando set the tone as far as the entire tournament. And San Juan was everything we thought it might be.

that she is not compelled to force Juan Miguel Gonzalez to keep his son in the U.S. and indicated that she would do nothing to stop him from going home with his son to Cuba.

That shows you what Juan is capable of doing. We don't win that game without him being a hero, a star.

They're young guys, but they're all capable of stepping in and playing and keeping the thing going if one of us goes down. They're confident guys and Juan is definitely confident in them.

There's one moment with my mother that sticks out in my mind, ... She was battling cancer. She'd already had chemotherapy and her hair was falling out. I was walking home from high school. My mother was sitting on the front porch with the radio on. She was singing a song called 'Noah, Noah' by a Latin singer named Juan Gabriel. I started singing and dancing with her, and I could see that she was happy despite the pain. That was a very special moment for me. That's the best memory I have of my mother.

Thomas and Juan were already leaders and we also get Trevor back.

A Don Juan is not a man who loves women, but a man that women love.

This is terrible. It's a frightening business, and it takes you back to the bad old days when kidnapping was standard practice in this country during the era of the military dictatorships. We all know this is something we don't want any more. It hurts for those of us that love Juan Roman. I would say that if this takes off in our country, it is never going to stop.

I've had this tape for years and years, ... This was done exactly as we would do the show, on one track with no overdubs. The only thing added was the applause. Juan was very, very particular when it came to recordings. I don't think he would have wanted to record in a nightclub. He never made any actual live recordings. This is it.
