“It's easy for me not to go to Mass on the road. But I've made a fundamental decision. I'm going to be dedicated. I'm going to make the time. I'm going to get up, if that means getting up at seven on a Sunday morning before a day game and do it, I'm going to do it.” IfsMeanMadeGamesEasyDecisionMorningMassFundamentalsSevenGet UpSundayDedicatedSunday Morning Author:Mike Piazza
“You're not just trying to do something marginally, incrementally better. You're doing something that is a fundamental paradigm shift, that will have exponential impact. That means it's harder to do, but ultimately, if it's successful, the impact it has is far greater.” IfsTryingMeanSuccessfulGreaterHarderFundamentalsImpactParadigmParadigm Shift Author:Steve Case
“Art is a thing so much of the imagination, of the soul, that it is difficult to descend to the fundamentals of technique and yet make it plain to the student that these are but the 'means' and not an end in themselves.” MeanArtSoulEndsDifficultImaginationStudentsArt IsFundamentalsTechnique Book:Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting Source: Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting

“The farmer and the farm, like "the environment," are looked upon, for example, as means to offset trade deficits. The farm is a place where we can externalize costs. The cost of pesticides to the farmer and the cost of the pesticides to the soil and groundwater are regarded similarly by the public: "a serious problem that something ought to be done about." But the problem is more fundamental than this glib statement would indicate, for soil pollution is an expense of production. So are pesticides and nitrates in our farm wells. So is the loss of farmers from the land.” WellsMeanDoneProblemLossEnvironmentLandExampleSeriousOughtCostFundamentalsTradeProductionsStatementsSoilExpensesFarmsFarmersPollutionDeficitPesticidesGroundwater Author:Wes Jackson
“The Arts are fundamental resources through which the world is viewed, meaning is created, and the mind developed. To neglect the contribution of the Arts in education, either through inadequate time, resources, or poorly trained teachers, is to deny children access to one of the most stunning aspects of their culture and one of the most potent means for developing their minds.” WorldMindMeanChildrenArtCultureTeacherResourcesAspectFundamentalsDenyAccessDevelopingContributionNeglectInadequateStunning Author:Elliot W.

“For the fundamental fact of human psychology is that society, instead of remaining almost entirely inside the individual organism as in the case of animals prompted by their instincts, becomes crystallized almost entirely outside the individuals. In other words, social rules, as Durkheim has so powerfully shown, whether they be linguistic, moral, religious, or legal, etc., cannot be constituted, transmitted or preserved by means of an internal biological heredity, but only through the external pressure exercised by individuals upon each other.” HumansMeanFactsIndividualSocialReligiousAnimalMoralCasesPsychologyPressureFundamentalsInstinctEtcInternalsOrganismsHeredity Book:The Moral Judgement of the Child Source: The Moral Judgement of the Child
