We all know as we travel around this country or around the world that there are huge problems, and also people doing amazing things on the ground - but those people rarely get reported. Our media are so into conflict that they sometimes say to me, Bring an 'anti' with you.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The dead's dead ... get 'em in the ground and look to the live ones.
Ken Kesey
Image
Meditation is not your doing. You simply make the effort, but it is not your doing. Your effort is needed to prepare the ground. As the ground is ready, immediately you see you are no more the whole cosmos is. You have entered a greater womb, an eternal womb of tremendous peace and ecstasy.
Rajneesh
Image
If we don't give things a try, nothing will get off the ground.
Simon Sinek
Image
He reached up t0 grab one and came down with several, and they kept coming, washing over him, floating all around him. Never have tampon strings seemed so beautiful as they rolled up and down with the wind, landing on the ground and then twirling and floating up again, falling and rising and falling and rising.
John Green
Image
I begin with confession not in order to feel miserable, rather to call to mind a reality I often ignore. When I acknowledge where I stand before a perfect God, it restores the true state of the universe. Confession simply establishes the proper ground rules of creatures relating to their creator.
Philip Yancey
Image
If you are terribly truthful, the ground will always move from under you, and you will have to shift with the constantly shifting truth.
Anais Nin
Image
Vanity is a confounded donkey, very apt to put his head between his legs, and chuck us over but pride is a fine horse, that will carry us over the ground, and enable us to distance our fellow-travelers.
Frederick Marryat
Image
Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.
Karl Barth
Image
How can we expect young people to be rooted in things such as character, morality and honesty? How is one supposed to be at once an arrow soaring skyward and an oak planted firmly in the ground? The meritocratic culture hones strivers on every aspect of their lives save one - how to cultivate character.
David Brooks
Image
The fox when it sees a flock of herons or magpies or birds of that kind, suddenly flings himself on the ground with his mouth open to look as he were dead and these birds want to peck at his tongue, and he bites off their heads.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
A tree is an aerial garden, a botanical migration from the sea, from those earliest plants, the seaweeds it is a purchase on crumbled rock, on ground. The human, standing, is only a different upsweep and articulation of cells. How treelike we are, how human the tree.
Gretel Ehrlich
Image
God, I love the fine morality of the wealthy and powerful. You'll spill tears over your own, in a heartbeat. And then never even look twice at people below you, whose very lives are ground under every day, day after day, year after year.
David Weber
Image
Even this nation (the US) will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground, and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin, this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean, and they shall bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
Give yourself entirely to God, enter and hide in the hidden ground of your soul.
Johannes Tauler
Image
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
The only ground of hope for the continuance of our free institutions is in the proper moral and religious training of the children, that they may be prepared to discharge aright the duties of men and citizens.
Zachary Taylor
Image
Maybe that's why God made us kids first and built us close to the ground, because He knows you got to fall down a lot and bleed a lot before you learn that one simple lesson. You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for... and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you.
Stephen King
Image
I don't want to redo what I've [just done]. I don't want to retread old ground.
David Michod
Image
An e-mail from a reader says that liberals like to take the moral high ground, even though their own moral relativism means that there is no moral high ground.
Thomas Sowell
Image
I shot a wild elephant in Africa thirty yards from me, and it didn't hit the ground until it was right at my feet. I wasn't a bit scared. But a four foot putt scares me to death.
Sam Snead
Image
Like other high subjects, the Law gives no ground to common sense.
Mason Cooley
Image
There are other people who don't mind shouting from the pulpit and being judged for it, and they do a hell of a lot of good - real, on-the-ground, life-changing good. So I think it can sometimes be a balancing act.
