Stanford Quotations

When I started teaching at Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2000, no field-based courses in strategic philanthropy existed.

Luckily, I was blessed to go to Stanford and a school that was primarily focused on academics, so it was a blessing.

My first web series, 'Dorm Diaries,' was a realistic mockumentary about what it was like to be black at Stanford University. I'm black and I went to Stanford. Boom. Easy.

After doing some research with my agent, we found out Klipsch was an official Colts partner, and they were based in Indianapolis, which only added to my esteem for the company. I also have a passion for design and technology that developed while I was at Stanford and appreciate the quality of Klipsch's speakers and headphones.

I was very nervous about going up to teach at Stanford and very nervous even about going to ARPA.

I had a very unusual childhood in that I grew up on the Stanford campus and I never moved.

I was lucky enough at Stanford to have Vic Fangio as the defensive coordinator for a year, and then Jason Tarver.

We had this thing at Stanford called the 'Campus Loop,' and then we had another run called 'The Dish,' and you'd run up to this giant satellite dish, which was probably extremely unhealthy. I would do those two runs, and I just found it so therapeutic. My girlfriends and I would have these great conversations about guys and school and life.

Nobody cared whether they were wasteful then because Stanford just shipped them more of whatever they needed, which is very common with a teaching institute. Things have become extremely efficient out of necessity because we have to watch every dime that is spent.

My father was an engineer, ... But I found out that the film critics for the Stanford Daily got free passes for all the films. So I became first an assistant critic and then the main film critic. Those free passes changed my life.

Like in the Packer era, West Indies cricket at its very best has been undervalued and its players underpaid. Like Packer, Stanford is a visionary putting money where his mouth is.

Like all Americans, members of the Stanford community feel great compassion for the many who have suffered loss and a desire to respond to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, ...

I didn't really know what to expect. Being from the East Coast, the SEC and ACC are all you hear about. You don't get to hear a whole lot about the Pac-10 in Georgia. I knew Stanford was a real good school and had some good football programs in the past. All I wanted to do was visit California. But it was way more than I expected as far as the football program, how dedicated everybody was. The guys were really nice, and there's a lot to do around here. I thought this would be a great place to go to school.

Last year, we wanted this game, but I don't think we believed we could win. But this team believes to the bottom of its heart that we could beat Stanford today, so this hurts a lot.

Megan did a phenomenal job on vault and floor and starting us off on floor. I think we were only a couple tenths ahead of Stanford going into floor. Stanford's a tough team and you really have to fight through 'til the end, so she really started us off strong on floor and they kept it going on through.

Harvard and Stanford are always close to the top.

I don't think it's make or break, but we want to play well. If it's four straight or two straight, you want to protect your home court. Stanford and us are the only teams to be undefeated at home, and we want to keep it that way. The schedule turns in our favor. It doesn't matter if it's at home in the middle of the season or late, you want to win at home.

He didn't go to one of the top schools - Harvard or MIT or Stanford or Northwestern. I think that was an advantage. He didn't get brainwashed into one of the doctrines.

If Stanford was going to beat us or tie us, Chris Hernandez wasn't going to do it. That's respect for Chris. Our players felt we couldn't give him a look. He wasn't going to beat us. He's beaten too many people over the years, including us.

He was a shortstop in high school and for whatever reason got into the lineup at Stanford first as a second baseman. He could always go back there, but we feel he has a chance to play short and he really wanted to do it.

He hasn't looked back since then (the Stanford disaster).

The Pac-10 is the best conference in the nation with USC and Stanford having won each of the last three national championships. It is our goal to start climbing the ladder in the conference and finish in the upper half of the league.

We've been waiting for Stanford all year since they ended our season last year.

I said all along I felt all along it would come down to the last rotation and we would have to go out and hit our floor routines exceptionally well to win the meet. This Stanford team is a great team. They just beat UCLA and they tied us two years ago at nationals.

Over the last several months, as we have explored the advantages of working together, we have become enthusiastic about the opportunity to deliver online an unparalleled management-education portfolio to executives and leaders around the world.

Stanford every year rejects two-thirds of the applicants with perfect SATs. You're dealing with an enormous population growth in the last 20 to 25 years, plus the number of freshman seats at William and Mary and UVA hasn't really materially changed.

Stanford had no journalism program so I just learned by doing, effectively.

Stanford has always been my dream. Being able to play volleyball at the next level is a dream come true.

Stanford has been fortunate to partner with Apple in a project that allows us to share the intellectual and cultural life of the university with our alumni.

Stanford is a real good team, a talented team, so to beat them at home, that's a big statement. That tells you how well our team played. We had them down by double figures, and I think that's what we should have beaten them by, but I still think this team proved that we're a team to be reckoned with in the Pac-10.

Stanford is like a member of our family.

Stanford is my top choice, but it's very expensive and very hard to get into.

Stanford is the No. 7 team in the nation, and we were with them the whole way. I felt we raced a lot better on Sunday.

Stanford used their inside people well. The big kid, we were simply unable to handle him.

Our producers were tasked with finding the best and brightest the academic engineering world has to offer for the tasks at hand. Stanford is among the top engineering programs worldwide and therefore was a natural fit.

Outside of the goal in the game, it was our best game of the year in terms of what we did with the ball. We kept possession and moved the ball well, and had good rhythm and flow. We created numerous quality scoring opportunities today. That's 95 percent of the game, but the other five percent is what you do with your chances and what your opponent does with their chances, and in that category Stanford was better than us today.

Our women are very hungry. They know they have an opportunity to dethrone Stanford this year.

Our performances in the relays today were a testimony to the Stanford tradition to be at your best when swimming for the team.

I think he made up for the Stanford game.

Just to be a member of the Stanford women's cross country team with those girls, I was in awe.

The aim of the movement isn't really to achieve legislation. It's supposed to act as a cattle prod, to make legislators and universities aware. The ratio of leftwing professors in Berkeley and Stanford is seven to one and nine to one. You can't get hired if you're a conservative in American universities.

We have a very different team; it's a whole new show. We have one of our most athletic teams, and that's not necessarily been a trademark of Stanford basketball.

We had a little bit of redemption. Our Senior Night game didn't quite go as we wanted. We got another chance to play at Maples, and we took care of business. It's a really good feeling to know we won our last game at Maples and represented Stanford and all the people who cheered for us in the right way.

That was a great gut-check win for our team, our program. We are happy, but we want to win our next game (Saturday at Stanford to win the title outright).

This race will be a little emotional. This will be a really special race for them. They will want to go out in style, but Stanford will be tough.

We're not focused on that at all. Stanford is a big, big issue for us right now. The teams are going to get tougher and tougher along the way.

We are looking for opportunities to partner in the community. I think it's very important for Stanford not to just look within and see patients here. If we can make these partnerships work, we will be able to serve patients we wouldn't normally serve. The more we reach out, the more we are able to solidify our referrals on more complex cases.

We play at Stanford at least once a year, so I expect our seniors to lead.

Whether it be a Ryan Riddle or a Kirk Morrison or Fabian (Washington) or a Stanford Routt on defense, those guys, we're going to need them.

UCLA are undefeated national champions and Stanford were last year's runners-up so they are definitely favored to win.

We want it. In the Stanford game last year, I was horrible, and I think we all played pretty bad. That is something we are determined not to let happen again, and I think we are good enough when we are focused not to let it happen again.

I fear -as far as I can tell- that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training. I've heard complaints from even mighty Stanford University with its illustrious faculty that basically the undergraduate computer science program is little more than Java certification.

We accomplished our main goal of staying undefeated at home. Now we look forward to welcoming Stanford because we have a lot deeper lineup than last year. I expect a close match.

We're going to focus on our own performance and not worry about what Stanford or Alabama is doing.

At 16, when I was at Henry M. Gunn High School, I had a crush on the English teacher, and my grades improved dramatically. This great school had only 400 students, mostly children of Stanford professors, and it was more usual to have classes under one of the oak trees dotted around the campus than in the classroom.

At that time we didn't really have the talent to be able to line up and compete with many teams. Stanford had recently had some success throwing the ball with Jim Plunkett (1970 Heisman Trophy winner) at quarterback. I figured with most defenses built to focus on stopping the run, we would try and pass the ball. Once we became successful and began to recruit better players, I just decided to stick with the offense.

Cove is essentially a collaboration, coordination and communication tool for the administration of organizations and communities, from the Stanford Graduate School of Business Entrepreneurship Club to church groups and schools.

I spent four of my five years at Stanford writing a novel I was unable to sell.

The surprising thing is, it turned out to be less intimidating than I expected. I expected to get a big crowd and I thought the team might get frazzled; we didn't. I expected Stanford to come out and just dominate us; they didn't. As far as pressure goes, it was less than I expected.

The Stanford Mansion is certainly the jewel of Sacramento, ... and we're adding it to the crown jewels of the state's parks system, along with Hearst Castle, Big Basin, the Humboldt redwoods and Point Lobo.

What happened in Mission Bay with Stanford, as far as I am concerned, will stay in Mission Bay. Yeah, losing to Stanford sucked, I am not going to lie about that, but that is in the past and thankfully we have this weekend to let them know that Cal is back in business.

What was said shouldn't have been said, but I think Stanford responded in the appropriate way. This thing has been unfortunate for Billy, but hopefully we can put it behind us.

We feel like Stanford will be the team to beat. We would really like to take them down.

There is nothing new from Kamehameha Schools perspective. The proposal (from Stanford Carr) is still out there. Stanford Carr is the one to make the deal happen.

There is a lot of pressure to beat Stanford because of all the other sports. We haven't beat Stanford since I've been here.

Tonight the offense was just rolling. We finally got rolling in the turnover situation. We've been quiet lately. Stanford has been such a stingy team. We wanted to turn that thing around. To get five and give none, we loved that.

We are very fortunate with the Stanford initiative, that among the things he has set out is the procurement of these coaching aids.

We did a lot better at Davis, but Stanford has a tougher start, plus a bigger field.
