# Alan Axelrod

Alan Axelrod (born 1952) is an author of books in history, business and management.

## Quotes

* In the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was very common for boys and young men to read about the lives of the so-called great men for the purpose of extracting lessons in how to be great themselves in whatever field they chose. I see these books as reviving that tradition by distilling ideas to their essence and putting them in a readily digestible form.
** Alan Axelrod, Business Book Juggernaut – An interview with Mike Hofman, Jun 1, 2004.
* People might say these (my) books are frivolous, but I don't see them that way. I think they're very impressively designed – just in an unconventional format.
** Alan Axelrod, Business Book Juggernaut – An interview with Mike Hofman, Jun 1, 2004.
* F.Shaw: As prolific as you are, how long did it take you to research and write this book? A.Axelrod: Well over a year. I do my research for one book while I write another—that way I get to read as well as write.
** Alan Axelrod in an interview with Frank R. Shaw, Aug 23, 2007.
* Washington was the right man at the right time – sometimes he was the first man, but sometimes he simply knew when to ride the crest of a wave or the leading edge of a trend.
** Alan Axelrod in an interview with Frank R. Shaw, Aug 23, 2007.
* He (Patton) was tough. War is tough. Leaders have to be tough. He drove his army hard, yes, and he made many enemies among colleagues and subordinates, but he also produced results. He was indeed arrogant, but sometimes a good leader has to be larger than life. … But the fact is: again typically, Patton's admirers are no more specific in their praise than are his disparagers in their criticism.
** Alan Axelrod: Patton On Leadership, p. xi.
# Alan Barth

Alan Barth (1906 – 1979) was a journalist specializing in civil liberties. He is best known for his 30-year stint as an editorial writer at the Washington Post, from which he retired in 1972, and his books on historical and contemporaneous politics.

## Quotes

* Thought that is silenced is always rebellious. Majorities, of course, are often mistaken. This is why the silencing of minorities is necessarily dangerous. Criticism and dissent are the indispensable antidote to major delusions.
** The Loyalty of Free Men (1951) .
* Character assassination is at once easier and surer than physical assault; and it involves far less risk for the assassin. It leaves him free to commit the same deed over and over again, and may, indeed, win him the honors of a hero in the country of his victims.
** The Rights of Free Men: An Essential Guide to Civil Liberties (1984).
* The notion that the church, the press, and the universities should serve the state is essentially a Communist notion. In a free society these institutions must be wholly free – which is to say that their function is to serve as checks upon the state.
** The Rights of Free Men: An Essential Guide to Civil Liberties (1984).

# Alan Brownjohn

Alan Brownjohn (28 July 1931 – 23 February 2024) was an English poet and novelist.

## Quotes

* Following daily such a dread- ful trade to earn a living, With every second on that cliff So cruel and unforgiving,
* Is fine - as long as no one comes And asks us what we do there... We'd have to say, Without our toil, Just who would know it grew there?
** The Cat Without E-Mail (2001).
* At dawn, a railwaywoman On a country platform whirls on the end of a chain An irrelevant key, while a young guard makes to wipe A crumb from her lapel; and see, she smiles A permissory smile you take in from your corner seat: A cameo of unrehearsed perfection.
** The Old Flea-Pit (1987).

** from Alan Alda's graduation speech, 1980.
* You don't put statistics on trial, you put individuals on trial.
** From Extended Brains on Trial - Published on Sep 19, 2013
* One of the most basic things I've tried to do is give people a greater understanding of how science works - the importance of evidence, the importance of many trials, of rigorous studies, and the idea that we learn only a little bit at a time. . . . Making people aware of that process helps increase appreciation and respect for science, and that helps us make informed decisions for our families and ourselves.
** Discussing his efforts hosting Scientific American Frontiers and through other channels to make science more understandable, as quoted in "Alan Alda Wants Us to Communicate: Our favorite TV doctor prescribes laughter as a start" AARP The Magazine. May 27, 2020.

## About Alan Alda

* There are very few people on top of life, and the rest of us don't like them very much.
** Newsweek (25 March 1979).

** A Gardener in Love, Intimate Exchanges (1982).

## Quotes

* Research is a matter of overcoming obstacles. That's what research is about. There are problems. There are difficulties. It's hard to make sense of a collection of information or whatever. Obstacles are the nature of research. Maybe that's why some people give up. There's always an obstacle. You overcome one to find there's another one.
** Interviewed by Harry Kreisler, February 28, 2003. In Conversations with History. Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley.

# Alexander Dargatz

Alexander Dargatz (born May 1977) is a German bodybuilder, winner of the World Champion Fitness title with the World Fitness Federation in December 2005.

## Quotes

* I read a couple of good books and realized the ethical implications of eating meat and the countless other ways of abusing animals and nature. It made me cry. There simply is no need for us to consume animal products and we cause a lot of harm by doing so; that is the definition of crime. I couldn't be anything else but vegan after understanding that. … Those two things, bodybuilding and being vegan, are the two best things in my life. They define who I am, in body and spirit. That doesn't mean my life is all about my workout and eating, but I find my strength in life in those two aspects. Veganism is about love and respect to your environment, and bodybuilding is about love and respect to yourself.

# Alexander Dow

Alexander Dow (1735/6, Perthshire, Scotland – 31 July 1779, Bhagalpur) was an Orientalist, writer, playwright and army officer in the East India Company.

## Quotes

* “The Brahmins,” he declared, “contrary to the ideas formed of them in the west, invariably believe in the unity, eternity, omniscience and omnipotence of God: that the polytheism of which they have been accused, is no more than a symbolical worship of the divine attributes…” Further, “The system of religion which they profess is only perfectly known in the effect which it has upon the manners of the people. Mild, humane, obedient, and industrious, they are of all nations on earth the most easily conquered… Revolution and change are things unknown; and assassinations and conspiracies never exists. Penal laws are scarce known among the Hindoos; for their motives to bad actions are few… it is to the ingenuity of the Hindoos, we owe all the fine manufactures in the East.”
** quoted in Jain, S., & Jain, M. (2011). The India they saw: Foreign accounts. New Delhi: Ocean Books. vol 4. Introduction
# Alexander Fleming

His best-known discoveries are the enzyme lysozyme in 1923 and the antibiotic substance penicillin from the mold Penicillium notatum in 1928, for which he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain.

## Quotes

* How fortunate we didn't have these animal tests in the 1940s, for penicillin would probably not have been granted a licence, and possibly the whole field of antibiotics might never have been realised.
** Reported in Dennis V. Parke, "Clinical Pharmacokinetics in Drug Safety Evaluation," in ATLA: Alternatives To Laboratory Animals, vol. 22, no. 3, May/June 1994, p. 208.
** The context is: "the present approach to drug safety evaluation, based on experimental animal studies, is known to be of questionable scientific veracity and has never been satisfactorily validated as an appropriate surrogate system for man. My former teacher, Sir Alexander Fleming, in his late years, chided me, saying …"

* When I woke up just after dawn on September 28, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic, or bacteria killer, ... But I guess that was exactly what I did.
* I have been trying to point out that in our lives chance may have an astonishing influence and, if I may offer advice to the young laboratory worker, it would be this—never neglect an extraordinary appearance or happening. It may be—usually is, in fact—a false alarm that leads to nothing, but may on the other hand be the clue provided by fate to lead you to some important advance.
** Lecture at Harvard University. Quoted in Joseph Sambrook, David W. Russell, Molecular Cloning (2001), Vol. 1, 153.
* It is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject: the details may be worked out by a team, but the prime idea is due to the enterprise, thought, and perception of an individual.
* One sometimes finds what one is not looking for.

* When I was a little girl, I used to watch my brothers play football. Those days, women didn’t play football. When I was in primary school and it was during the break, they will tell us, girls, to go and mold clay and the boys will be on the field playing football. I used to drift to the field and at a time I told them I could play as well and believe me, I started playing football from the young age of eight.
