As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.
This ground is surprising. It holds about 60,000 but when there are around 30,000 in, you get the feeling that it is half empty
It was always hard work to push through a crowed of reporters with the scent of blood in their nostrils. You might not think so, since on camera they appear to be brain-damaged wimps with severe eating disorders. But put them at a police barricade and a miraculous thing happens. . . The strength comes from some mysterious place-and somehow, when there is gore on the ground, these anorexic creatures can push their way through anything. Without mussing their hair, too.
Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.
It's a poore stake that cannot stand one yeare in the ground.
If you put two brigades on the ground right now with U. S. forces, they would push ISIS back into Syria in a heartbeat.
I usually want to crawl into the ground after I make a film, almost invariably.
Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground
Looking back on 200 years of feminist agitation in this country, we've got to get it that the moral high ground doesn't get us anything. Pleading with powerful men never gets us what we need. Talking doesn't do it. Being right doesn't do it. Hardball politics does it. . . and a political strategy.
It is hard to look up to a leader who keeps his ear to the ground.
I believe that the far-right and the far-left can be equally insane - but there's no question that in the first years of the Obama administration, the far-right has been far crazier. In part, this comes from parties being out of power - without the responsibility of governing to ground them, the activists and the ideologues take over.
Either you're growing or you're decaying; there's no middle ground. If you're standing still, you're decaying.
We shall some day be heeded, and when we shall have our amendment to the Constitution of the United States, everybody will think it was always so, just exactly as many young people believe that all the privileges, all the freedom, all the enjoyments which woman now possesses always were hers. They have no idea of how every single inch of ground that she stands upon today has been gained by the hard work of some little handful of women of the past.
When I sat there in 1971 and watched my grandfather open Walt Disney World, I was a little 11-year-old girl who worshiped the ground he walked on. You probably couldn't have found much daylight between the NRA and the Disney company.
When you are on the ground, only one of you two can be comfortable at any one time. Either you are comfortable or the opponent is. Your job is to transfer the comfortable from him to you in every position
I knew books could see people around them, they ground their tiny teeth, tried to rattle like windows, stories to tell.

So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.
In this way they went on, and on, and on-in the language of the story-books-until at last the village lights appeared before them, and the church spire cast a long reflection on the graveyard grass; as if it were a dial (alas, the truest in the world!) marking, whatever light shone out of Heaven, the flight of days and weeks and years, by some new shadow on that solemn ground.
Relationships are a proving ground for love.
