Charles Stewart Parnell
“When you look at national figures you get one picture, and you get another when you look at geographic variation.

Elizabeth Barnett
“In terms of competitive advantage, I don't believe the curvature of the stick can be equated to a corking of a baseball bat. If you watch (players) and see them preparing to get ready for any game, they know what the rule is and you see them with the saws and files, trying to make their sticks perfect or as close as they can. The good players are right on the edge of every rule and stick measurement is no different.”
Stephen Walkom
“Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.”
Albert Einstein
“Serving small customers on a long-term basis doesn't provide enough of a margin. It might be a different equation for a company spending 10 times or more than your average retail customer.”
