With hand on the spade and heart in the sky Dress the ground and till it Turn in the little seed, brown and dry, Turn out the golden millet. Work, and your house shall be duly fed: Work, and rest shall be won I hold that a man had better be dead Than alive when his work is done.
Alice Cary
Image
Pard, we will meet again in the Happy Hunting Ground To part no more, Goodbye
Wild Bill Hickok
Image
It would be a miracle, for example, if I dropped a stone and it rose upwards. But is it no miracle that it falls to the ground?
Alfred Polgar
Image
The ultimate metaphysical ground is the creative advance into novelty.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
The true method of discovery is like the flight of an aeroplane. It starts from the ground of particular observation it makes a flight in the thin air of imaginative generalization and it again lands for renewed observation rendered acute by rational interpretation.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
A poet dares to be just so clear and no clearer he approaches lucid ground warily, like a mariner who is determined not to scrape his bottom on anything solid. A poet's pleasure is to withhold a little of his meaning, to intensify by mystification. He unzips the veil from beauty, but does not remove it. A poet utterly clear is a trifle glaring.
E. B. White
Image
The crossroads of trade are the meeting place of ideas, the attrition ground of rival customs and beliefs diversities beget conflict, comparison, thought superstitions cancel one another, and reason begins.
Will Durant
Image
I feel like giving myself a pat on the back. We can create history tonight. We can bid goodbye to 10 years of (Liberal-Conservative) government which has ground to a halt, and get a new government and a new majority in Denmark.
Helle Thorning-Schmidt
Image
Joy to hearts which have suffered long is like the dew on the ground after a long drought both the heart and the ground absorb that beneficent moisture falling on them, and nothing is outwardly apparant.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
The scientific picture of the world championed since the Enlightenment is not just wrong but massively wrong. Indeed entire fields of inquiry, especially in the human sciences, will need to be rethought from the ground up in terms of intelligent design.
William A. Dembski
Image
I am involved in the land of a leonine and brave people, where every foot of the ground is like a well of steel, confronting my soldier. You have brought only one son into the world, but everyone in this land can be called an Alexander.
Alexander the Great
Image
On no other ground Can I sow my seed Without tearing up Some stinking weed.
William Blake
Image
One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground
Baltasar Gracian
Image
Each one of my movies becomes easier to get off the ground.
Alexander Payne
Image
O would, beloved, that you lay Under the dock-leaves in the ground, While lights were paling one by one.
William Butler Yeats
Image
I gazed upon the glorious sky And the green mountains round, And thought that when I came to lie At rest within the ground, 'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June When brooks send up a cheerful tune, And groves a joyous sound, The sexton's hand, my grave to make, The rich, green mountain-turf should break.
William C. Bryant
Image
My dead and wounded were nearly as great in number as those still on duty. They literally covered the ground. The blood stood in puddles in some places on the rocks the ground was soaked with the blood of as brave men as ever fell on the red field of battle.
William C. Oates
Image
One of the reasons that I came forward and sort burned of my life to the ground, and I can't go back and see my family in the United States - I obviously lost my job, which I was quite comfortable with. I lost my home. It was because I felt there was no alternative.
Edward Snowden
Image
I went from living in my dad's basement to moving to New York. So I never had that middle ground of easing into adulthood.
Alex Winston
Image
I would not have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep, And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth That sinews bought and sold have ever earn'd.
William Cowper
Image
Please remember the hundreds of tiny empty stomachs in our communities. Winter is a tough time for birds and other small creatures as food can become buried beneath snow or frozen ground. Scatter seeds in your yard, nearby parks.
Alex Pacheco
Image
If you're going to go for 'it' you have a common thing you share with other artists that's desperation. You jump out a window style-wise. Try to put it together before you hit the ground.
Alex Katz
Image
I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cockier spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.
Alex Ferguson
Image
...skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man's feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
