“An important contribution to a much-neglected but very important subject. No other author has set out to do what Davenport accomplishes, which is a systematic study of how key representatives of America's rising tide of religion attempted a theoretical understanding of, and practical response to, America's rising tide of commerce.” ImportantAmericaUnderstandingStudySubjectsKeysResponseAccomplishPracticalsRisingContributionTidesRepresentativesCommerceTheoreticalNeglectedSystematicImportant Contributions Author:Mark Noll
“Students of the Way must not study Buddhism for the sake of themselves. They must study Buddhism only for the sake of Buddhism.

“The Lawyers' trade is a trade built entirely on words. And so long as the lawyers carefully keep to themselves the key to what those words mean, the only way the average man can find out what is going on is to become a lawyer, or at least to study law, himself. All of which makes it very nice -- and very secure -- for the lawyers.” MenWayMeanLongLawStudyNiceKeysBuiltTradeAverageLawyerSecureVery NiceAverage Man Author:Fred Rodell
“I thought, 'Okay, what's going to be my edge, and how am I going to define what I'm doing differently?' Once I had that key idea of the software developer as an artist, once I had that idea, a whole bunch of other ideas flowed from that, because I realized that I need to go study the music industry, I need to study the book publishing and Hollywood and figure out how they do things, why they do them that way, and then I need to borrow, and rearrange, the things that they're doing to fit my industry so that I can invent and create this new industry.” WayNeedsI CanBookIdeasWholeArtistStudyFiguresKeysIndustryFitOkayHollywoodEdgesI RealizedBunchSoftwarePublishingMusic IndustryDevelopersBook Publishing Author:Trip Hawkins
“So, obviously, autism - which is the key in this - is a very big problem. We need more studies about it. We certainly have to try to figure out what causes it and why and do something about it. But to tab it to vaccines, I think, is a real mistake. Not only is there no evidence, but what it leads to is larger numbers of unvaccinated children. And that's not only a problem for polio. It's a problem for a wide range of vaccine-preventable diseases.” ThinkingNeedsTryingChildrenRealProblemBigsCausesNumbersMistakeStudyFiguresKeysDiseaseEvidenceWideRangeAutismVaccinesBig ProblemsPolio Author:David Oshinsky
“The key to the U.N.'s global warming study was man's use of aerosol spray. You have to know the French were involved in a study concluding that Arrid Extra Dry is destroying the Earth.

“The study of how substances alter gene expression is part of the field of epigenetics. Some chemical exposures appear to turn on and turn off genes in ways that disregulate cell growth and predispose for cancer. From this perspective, our genes are less the command-and-control masters of our cells and more like the keys of piano, with the environment as the hands of the pianist.” WayHandsTurnsGrowthStudyEnvironmentFieldsExpressionMastersPerspectiveKeysEnvironmentalCancerCommandCellsSubstancePianoChemicalsGenesPollutionExposureTurn-onPianistTurn OffCommand And Control Book:Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment Source: Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment

“When you study our greatest artists, you will find that they give us a key to understand how to deal with each other, and that our bloodlines are intertwined. It's not hyphenated America.

“Eliminate the clutter. That's the key. Eliminate the clutter and understand the important things. First and foremost, the most important thing is affecting the people around you in a positive way. Second thing is, be one of those guys that's going to out-study every person there is on what you need to do from a game-plan standpoint, what you need to do from a characteristic standpoint to stand apart.
