Utah Quotations | Page 3

I just saw them. I said hello to them, and I try to keep tabs on how they're doing. Utah State is a big family. Even though you graduate, you still want Utah State to do as well as possible.

I just question whether what you did in Utah sort of says, 'Well, we can do this in all of America,' ... I would suggest to you that in Appalachia and other areas they can't, and I would urgently hope that you would think about this matter now that you have the entire country's population very much at your mercy or at your help.

BYU is probably one of the most progressive forces in Utah County for earthquake preparedness. I'm not concerned as much about the buildings on BYU campus as I am about the buildings most of the BYU students live in.

Choosing to leave Utah Valley State was an extremely difficult decision. Ultimately I had to do what was best for my wife and children. The individuals that I have coached during the past three seasons are very fine young men. Because of their selfless commitment and determination, college wrestling has been restored in the state of Utah.

By acquiring Costa Rican gaming operations, giant European firms now have a platform from which to launch attacks on federal, state and local gambling restrictions in an effort to secure an even greater share of the diverse and lucrativeÊU.S. gambling market. This is a threat that was brought to the attention of all three Utah congressmen.

Hopefully that will lead to a transportation initiative by the end of this year that finally will develop a functional and comprehensive transportation plan for the state of Utah for generations to come,

As we crossed the Colorado-Utah border I saw God in the sky in the form of huge gold sunburning clouds above the desert that seemed to point a finger at me and say, "Pass here and go on, you're on the road to heaven.

I don't know if it happens in Utah County any more than any other county.

It wasn't a good first half. Utah State deserves a lot of credit. ... They controlled the ball well in the first half, and we missed a lot of tackles.

It kind of upset him a little bit. Someone saying something like that who wasn't even here. The guy (Bassett) was out in Utah or somewhere when Tim was recruited.

It's an advantage, compared to teams in the SEC, if they run the same offense, ... We played against Utah two times. Now, is it an advantage? I think they scored 42 on us last year. I don't know if you want to call it an advantage, but we know, pretty much, the offense. Now, can we stop it is another thing.

It?s clear that at the heart of the Utah lawsuit is an unwillingness on the part of the adult entertainment industry to take reasonable measures to keep pornographic e-mails from reaching children. We feel confident the court will agree.

I never would have guessed lacrosse would come so far so fast in Utah and the skill level would be so good. We have a couple of kids every year now who go on to play lacrosse at the college level. Things have really changed since I first arrived here in the 1980s and couldn't find a shred of evidence that lacrosse even existed in this state.

After operating in the mid-3 percent employment growth range for the first half of 2005, the Utah economy unexpectedly jumped upward during last year's third quarter.

The move toward longer kindergarten, I think, encourages deterioration of parents involved in the education of the youngest of our children, I am not in favor of expanding (the concept) to all of Utah students.

The big thing for me right now is to get organized. Tryouts are Monday and I probably know four or five of the kids' names. I've been used to coaching club teams that had the best players in Utah and playing against the top players in the country, so it will be a little bit of a change to coach kids from different ages from freshman to seniors with different abilities. I'm excited about it.

You want to play the best and be the best. I think the people at the university and in Southern Utah are starting to understand if they go out to a game, they're going to get a good game.

You watch him on TV - we were watching him play Utah - and they do those things. They go out there with that sort of arrogance. That is just them. You expect it and you take it to them.

The current employment growth in the mid-4 percent range is the best period of employment growth Utah has experienced since the early part of 1997.

The couple plays that didn't get made today by us, we had been making those. Utah played a little bit better than we did, so we need to tip our hat and say congratulations.

The economy is firing on all cylinders. Construction is very strong. Home price appreciation is very strong. The commercial real estate sector is very strong. Utah ? right now, its performance is about as good as at any time, ever.

The high years for Utah County were back in 2001, when there was 56,000 acres of grasshoppers and in 2004 when there was 124,000 acres of crickets.

The idea that shipping tens of thousands of tons of high-level nuclear waste to Utah for a pit stop before transporting it further to a hypothetical permanent repository will improve the safety and security of the waste is ludicrous.

... The guys (from each team) really like each other, they're good friends. But when it's time to play golf, we want to beat each other's brains in. When it's done, we're all friends and we go to dinner together, go to ballgames together. I think the world of Dean and the Utah State golf team.

The ultimate credit goes to the hard-working and skilled civilian and military work force at our installations, ... They have made those installations easy to defend. They are not just important to our local economy; they are critical to our national defense. And I look forward to the additional missions and workloads our Utah installations should receive in the future.

The license is the culmination of 8 1/2 years of a very vigorous licensing process during which the state of Utah has been a full participant. We had to win every single argument to show this facility could be safely operated, and we won all those arguments.

You could imagine if there was an earthquake in Utah in winter and everyone ran outside and turned off their gas. By the time we could get around to relighting everyone, it would be a problem, because people would have no heat until we got there.

This history needs to be told, and the best way to do that is to have a visitor's center that people can be attracted to, where they come and you give them the story and the history -- let them know there is more to Utah than snow on the hills. Utah's history is just as important as Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Edwards said the greatest moment of his career was winning the national championship. The lowest moment (of my career) happens every time we lose to Utah.

A study at the University of Utah found that if you ask someone why he is friendly with someone else, he’ll say it is because he and his friend share similar attitudes. But if you actually quiz the two of them on their attitudes, you’ll find out that what they actually share is similar activities. We’re friends with the people we do things with, as much as we are with the people we resemble. We don’t seek out friends, in other words. We associate with the people who occupy the same small, physical spaces that we do.

For gymnasts, this is one of the most exciting events we can participate in. Utah can invite anyone in the nation to their gym, and we've been lucky enough to be able to be among those teams.

It's light-hearted. We've taken out all the language -- just things that would offend a Utah audience.

It is true they are private clubs. My experience has been though you can get that membership whether you're a resident or tourist at any one of these places. I personally believe that the private club issue in Utah is outdated. I think that if we want to have a place for people to drink we should let them have a place to drink.

It's not just my day. It's an NBA day, it's a Jazz day, it's a Utah day and it's an NBA fan day and I'm proud to be a part of it.

It's a real difficult question to answer because they're all very different. This (Nevada) is a more athletic team than Utah State. But Utah State is the best shooting team in college basketball. They're almost a better shooting team than my UNLV team in '77. Almost.

The numbers indicate that the Utah economy is strong and vibrant, ... We will consider the most efficient uses for this one-time surplus as we begin the budget process in the coming month.

That is good news for southern Utah since they have received well-below normal snowfall this winter. Utah County will likely receive snow at times through the weekend with the heaviest possibly occurring late Saturday and early Sunday.

There wasn't anybody on there, nobody, not one, representing residential energy users, not one representing small-business users, ... What our elected representatives are too inclined to do is to give the utilities what they want, completely failing to realize that they have the power and they really have the obligation to put the needs of Utah first.

They are by far the best team we've played. They had a lot of trouble shooting early in the season, but they shot well at Utah and they obviously continued to do that tonight.

It was difficult for us to get a stop, and we couldn't score any shots. ... We did not play well, but give Utah State all the credit. We had a bad game.

It's just sore. I don't think he'll be out any more than just tonight. We've got a good couple of days before we go to Utah for this next road trip.

It's just going to go down to the wire. I think four (losses) for sure will be there, three if (Nevada) can win at Utah State.

We've been talking about this since he signed. When he came and played Utah we were all going to come and watch him. We've been looking forward to this for months.

What is UVSC's role in the Utah system of higher education in general and, more specifically, to the local community?

We got outplayed tonight. Utah outplayed us in every part of the game. They wanted this game more.

It was one thing to drop out of the Top 25 after we won by 30 at Utah and broke their long home-court winning streak. But to see that banner? It got our attention. We had some good motivation; everybody was counting us out.

It's a great feeling. We just came in with the mindset we were going to win. It still hurts that we lost the game (to Utah State) in Reno.

It was so easy. It was like an extra year of high school. The level of play was nothing. We traveled everywhere. Utah, Arizona, Idaho, you name it. The bus ride to Utah was, like, 22 hours. I tried to overload on sleeping pills and woke up and still had another 10 hours to go. I was mad.

It was a way of honoring her. We always choose a worthy Utah pianist every year to receive this scholarship, which pays for their tuition.

We talked about it watching film. Utah is very well-coached. They're patient. They're going to use the entire shot clock and you've got to be patient within yourself. You've got to be able to defend. If you have a breakdown they're going to score off of you.

It's good news for Utah and our excellent military installations, especially Hill.

There's a reason why he's going to Utah State. A big college isn't going to give a kid a full ride, just because he's nice. Jardine played well. He kind of took over tonight.

There needs to be a concert like this. We have an extraordinary trombone section (in the Utah Symphony), and NOVA needs to feature sections, as well as individual players.

They're running a new offense. I call it the Utah shotgun option. They'll throw about 40 passes and they have good receivers. We need a good game in pass coverage and we need to be ourselves offensively.

I am opposing my own relative so citizens of Utah will finally have a real choice since Democrats have adopted so many Republican policy positions in recent years,

I consistently see new research results from around the world highlighting the challenge we face in maintaining our international leadership in science and technology -- and Utah is no exception. Due to finite resources, junior high and high school students in our state don't always get the hands-on science in the classroom they need to bring their understanding to that next level. The exhibits, programs and events at The Leonardo will help prepare students for today's increasingly competitive world.

I don't think any of our guys are thinking about that game because the teams are so different now. We're 10 months removed. We were excited about being able to knock off Utah two times in a row, but I think that's long behind us.

Heather is one of the up-and-coming coaches in our profession. I loved her competitiveness as a player and am excited to have her on the Utah volleyball staff.

You could power the entire United States with about 150 to 200 square kilometers of solar panels, the entire United States. Take a corner of Utah... there's not much going on there, I've been there. There's not even radio stations.

... over two hundred women, apparently at their own request, were sealed as wives to Joseph Smith after his death in special temple ceremonies. Moreover, a great many distinguished women in history, including several Catholic saints, were also sealed to Joseph Smith in Utah. I saw these astonishing lists in the Latter-day Saint Genealogical Archives in Salt Lake City in 1944.

Lotta people don't know where Utah is but it in Salt Lake.

Now Stan and I were still working in secret at that time but, because of this development, we had to inform the University of Utah because we thought that they might need to take patent protection.

I enjoyed my time in Utah. It was a different area to what I was used to. The people there were very nice and it was a great organization and city. I have only good things to say about Utah.

A lot of people think Utah is a bad place to play, but hell nah,

The last two years in Utah were a lot more methodical, a lot more structured with rules within that structure.

The last time I checked, Utah was not a state that endorses high-stakes gambling.

The mascot in Utah and in Denver shoot that shot all the time. I've never seen them make one.

On Tuesday, Utah Candidate Mia Love became the first black Republican woman elected to Congress. She's also a Mormon. Yeah, a black female Republican Mormon. Even unicorns are saying, 'Not buyin' it.'

Anderson Mason Dale has over 40 years of experience and has designed over 100 higher education facilities in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, including Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs and the Anthropology Resource Center at the University of Wyoming,

While he was in Utah, Obama discussed immigration reform with leaders of the Mormon Church. Obama introduced the first lady. Then the church's president introduced HIS first lady. And his second lady. And his third, fourth, and fifth ladies.

President Obama just made his first presidential trip to the state of Utah. Obama spent his time in Utah just like you'd expect - telling people, 'Uh, no, I don't play for the Jazz.'

I love a lot of Colorado and upper Utah. I think some of the most beautiful terrain is upper BC.

Utah is so wonderful. My greatest memories of Utah are of always being outdoors. It's a very athletic environment that I think gave me a lot of drive to be fit and live well.

My activism is a result of my love. So whether it's trying to preserve the wilderness in Southern Utah or writing about an erotics of place, it is that same impulse - to try to make sense of the world, to try to preserve something that is beautiful, to ask the tough questions, the push the boundaries of what is acceptable.

Having lived in Utah all of my life, I can tell that in many ways I know of no place more lonely, no place more unfamiliar. When I talk about how it is both a blessing and a burden to have those kinds of roots, it can be terribly isolating, because when you are so familiar, you know the shadow.

As children, we had access to all the open space imaginable. We would set up camps in rural Utah where the Tempest Company was at work laying pipe. We spent time around the West in Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, and Colorado. Wild beautiful places. Now, many of these natural places have disappeared under the press of development.

In Utah alone, ten million acres are open for business. Their policy is not about the public or the public's best interest. It is about the oil and gas corporations' best interests.

I think my heart breaks daily living in Salt Lake City, Utah. But I still love it. And that is the richness, the texture.

I live just outside of Salt Lake City in a place called Emigration Canyon. It's on the Mormon trail. So I feel deeply connected, not only because of my Mormon roots, which are five or six generations, but because of where we live. There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not mindful of the spiritual sovereignty that was sought by my people in coming to Utah.

I have friends in Utah who care about me as a person, not for what I am. They'll call to see how my heart is, how my blood pressure is. That's important to me.

If prosecutors in the state of Utah continue on the path they are on in seeking us out, I hate to tell you what might happen. To put it bluntly - the mountains could come down upon them. I think they are going to get shook up. I think we are in store for a lot of things if we don't reprent and return to the way of God.

I grew up in Ireland, and the ocean was never more than an arm's length away. As lovely as the mountains are and as friendly as the people of Utah are, I feel a bit landlocked here.

I had been hearing on-the-ground buzz that white folks were moving to places like Bend, Oregon, and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and St. George, Utah. That led me to discover through census data that these towns were already extremely white and they were becoming, in most cases, even whiter. Statistics could only tell me so much; in order to get to the spirit and essence of it, I had to immerse myself.

Of course, there isn't really a black population in Idaho or Utah.

Utah is changing. There are good people in Utah. More people want to change the discriminatory laws than want to keep them. People should be able to marry whomever they love.

Other people have analysis. I have Utah.

Sundance started with two acres back in 1963 that I bought from a sheepherder for $500. What has happened, I could see development starting to descend on the state of Utah. I thought I had better acquire more land to protect it. I thought that would probably be my legacy, to protect land.

Today was a good day for Hill Air Force Base and Utah.

Myths that need clarification: "Everyone in California lives on a white, sandy beach." False. The only people who live on California beaches are vacationers from Arizona, Utah, and Nevada who own condos.

I was in Chicago in 1994 and at this time I had no thoughts of coming back and playing the game of basketball, Bryon Russell came over to me and said, "Why'd you quit? You know I could guard you." When I did come back in 1995 and we played Utah in '96, I'm at the center circle and Bryon Russell is standing next to me. I said, "You remember what you said in 1994 about, 'I think I can guard you, I can shut you down, I would love to play against you?' Well, you're about to get your chance.
