Grass Quotations
It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
Muhammad Ali
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
William Wordsworth
There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.
Thomas Jefferson
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Khalil Gibran
Personal columnists are jackals and no jackal has been known to live on grass once he had learned about meat - no matter who killed the meat for him.
Ernest Hemingway
To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.
Helen Keller
Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.
John Steinbeck
The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
Henry Miller
In creating, the only hard thing is to begin: a grass blade's no easier to make than an oak.
James Russell Lowell
If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.
George Eliot
