Zora Neale Hurston He who slings mud generally loses ground. Adlai E. Stevenson Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road. Dag Hammarskjold I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up. Jesse Owens Don't learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world. Samuel Butler There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground. Ben Hogan The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture. Raymond Chandler I saw 28 Days. I don't remember rehab being like a day camp or being that funny. Rehab is a dumping ground. It's a big landfill. Charlie Sheen In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking on a tightrope. Henri Matisse Theologians have a great problem because they're seeking to speak about God. Since God is the ground of everything that is, there's a sense in which every human inquiry is grist to the theological mill. Obviously, no theologian can know everything. John Polkinghorne Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone. Karl Barth When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet. Stanislaw Lec A good short-story writer has an instinct for sketching in just enough background to ground the specific story. Lynn Abbey Unintelligent persons are like weeds that thrive in good ground; they love to be amused in proportion to the degree in which they weary themselves. Honore de Balzac We laid the track on a smooth stretch of ground about one hundred feet north of the new building. Orville Wright Speaking generally, people who are drawn to journalism are interested in what happens from the ground up less than they are from the top down. Tom Brokaw After I did the first Die Hard I said I'd never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground. Bruce Willis How long should a man's legs be? Long enough to touch the ground. J. D. Salinger I'm glad that it didn't take as long to get Shepard off the ground as it's taken this series. I'd begun to think the Congo would be ahead of us in the space race before Whispering Smith ever got on the air. Audie Murphy Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise. Tommy Douglas |
