“The bias against Israel has been institutionalized for 50 years, so to expect a miracle in 18 months is having unrealistic expectations. We should welcome the progress but realize that there is a long way to go, and Israel still has to bargain and barter to be recognized the way any other nation is.”
“There has been very little progress made on a deal before free agency. Of course, the lack of a (collective bargaining agreement) and the Vikings' right to match has played a role. Nevertheless, I am not optimistic at this point that we will reach an agreement before the start of free agency with the Vikings.”
“This is a good working example of EPA accelerating the pace of environmental progress while increasing our nation's economic competitiveness. The EPA worked with environmental groups and our nation's important agricultural industry to come up with a program that's both good environmental policy and good business policy.”
“I remember going to get my hair done [a few weeks after the U.S. sweep]. The 60-year-old women in the salon were in there talking about snowboarding. It's not a cutthroat sport at all. We're all cheering each other on. Together, we're progressing the sport.”

“I had great players when I was (at SDSU) before. Don't let any coach lie and tell you they're brilliant. Don't let them make that up. We had great players, great guard play back then. But it's a work in progress now.”
“There was progress in some areas, less than we had hoped for in other areas. Our position is that if both sides decided they wanted to re-double their efforts they could conclude the agreement in the time that we have left, but we have to evaluate whether or not we think the will is there on both sides.”
Like characters in Greek tragedy, we seem fated to push technology towards its ultimate degree as if we were possessed by malignant gods. We call these gods "curiosity" and "creativity" and "reason" and "progress", but when these words are perverted by technocrats, they are more like the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.Remember if you never act, you will never know for sure and you will be left standing in the same spot forever. Making excuses takes the same amount of time as making progress!
“Coming in with all the hype, I expected that. Everybody's gunning for me. Their plays are based on me. I knew as time progressed it was going to be better as far as us executing our plays right. At the beginning of the game, we were tight. We made some adjustments and picked it up.”
