History has shown that incumbents tend to fight trends that challenge established ways and, in the process, lose focus on what matters most: customers.
When people are coming to Krakow and we show them how and where we practice, they are like, ‘Seriously? Are you kidding me?’ But we’re always saying that what matters about the courts – the lines, the nets – are the same. I’m practicing in Poland even when I don’t have good facilities.
If an organization values innovation, you can assume it’s safe to speak up with new ideas, leaders will listen, and your voice matters.

Some governments choose to cooperate with the United States in intelligence, law enforcement, or military matters. The co-operation is a two-way street. We share intelligence that has helped protect European countries from attack, helping save European lives.

Still, most people don’t have much money. So finding ways to come out a couple of thousand dollars ahead every year still matters.
I’m just an entertainer. In a way crime stories are boring. A crime’s been committed and at the end you know it will be solved. So you’ve got to make the story interesting besides it just being a plot. And that’s why character matters, why you’ve got to make the characters interesting.
Life is designed to knock you down. It will knock you down time and time again, but it doesn’t matter how many times you fall – it matters how many times you get back up.

In the finest critics one hears the full cry of the human. They tell one why it matters to read.
Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have.
Certain product categories become less attractive for us because, as they become mature, they become low-cost, and hence, there is less to invent. There is less to invent in a television, whereas in heath technology, there is a lot to invent. So we wanted to put our innovative power to work where it really matters.
What you say and do in a crisis matters.
Really, the proper study of economics is fulfilment, not consumption… It doesn’t even matter if it’s a green product or a green house… It’s still consumption. What matters in this world is the fulfilment of people’s needs and the fulfilment of their aspirations.
What we need are not prohibitory marriage laws, but a reformed society, an educated public opinion which will teach individual duty in these matters.

When it comes to brains, size matters. It’s not all that matters, of course. Whales and dolphins have brains that are larger than humans’, but few of the flippered and fluked set win tenure at Stanford. Our brains are the largest in proportion to body size, and they’re also highly sophisticated.
What matters most is your overall way of eating and living.
It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.
The arrangement of the words matters, and the arrangement you want can be found in the picture in your mind. The picture dictates the arrangement.

If we care about the average working American, then Wal-Mart matters. A lot.
One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.
It obviously matters who gets to be president. And it’s perfectly valid for us media types to advocate for the candidate we think is more qualified, based on our reporting. But the hype has gotten so out of control, it’s become bigger than the presidency itself.
When you love someone, and you’ve lost that one, then nothing really matters.

What really matters is what you do with what you have.
