But when you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions.
Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
I must confess that I’m not a great reader. At the moment I’m reading my son’s ‘Stig of the Dump’ by Clive King and I’ve got a plant catalogue on the go.
A writer is like a bean plant – he has his little day, and then gets stringy.
It takes a while to establish a character. Richard Boone once told me he didn’t really get the character in ‘Have Gun – Will Travel’ until the 16th show. You just plant a seed, water it, let the sun shine on it, and hope it blooms.
The old-fashioned idea is that responsibility falls upon those who borrow and lend. Money was not borrowed by campesinos, assembly plant workers, or slum-dwellers. The mass of the population gained little from borrowing, indeed often suffered grievously from its effects.
What happened was I saw this ad for a yogurt plant for sale. It was in my junk mail pile, and I threw it into the garbage can. And then about half an hour later, with the dirt on it, I picked it up from the garbage can, and I called out of curiosity.
Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother’s womb.
I love to work. When I was a kid, I would invite my friends over to play, then I would take them over to a recycling plant and we would haul glass all day. They hated me for this, but I thought it was fun.
Conservatives always knew that the Left made a concerted effort to dominate in the entertainment field because it’s such a fabulous way to plant the seed of an agenda. Sugar helps the medicine go down, as does seeing it on the silver screen or hearing it in a catchy pop hook.
Asking an artist to talk about his work is like asking a plant to discuss horticulture.
My Aunt Erna was smuggled out of Nazi Germany in 1939, alive, in a coffin with a spider plant at her feet. When I moved to Los Angeles from New York City in 1974 for ‘Happy Days,’ I took a cutting with me.
Literally, if someone says I am grounded, everyday I am at home, I actually have my hands in the ground and dirt under my fingernails. I don’t have a staff to do it all for me. I still plant a seed and I’m amazed it grows.
To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another; and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another.
Just look at herbal remedies. It’s essentially a throwback. It’s saying you go to a plant and you mush it up and you stick it in the jar and you sell it and you eat it and it’s going to cure what ails you. And that’s the kind of stuff that people believed in the early 19th century.
Some of you may know my story: How for nineteen years, I worked as a manager for a tire plant in Alabama. And some of you may have lived a similar story: After nearly two decades of hard, proud work, I found out that I was making significantly less money than the men who were doing the same work as me.
The structural or biogenetic relations of plant products as deduced from the recognizable architectural components of the molecules have been consistent guides in my investigations.
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.
You go to a plant not only to pat the people on the back, but to tell them about the opportunities they have to do a better job. Quality is one of the opportunities they have to do a better job.
A symbol in Chinese Buddhism is the lotus plant, which regenerates every year, symbolizing life, renewal, and the Buddha himself. Actually it is used in many Asian religions including Hinduism. Few people think of it as food even though it is used as an ingredient all the time.
As an integral part of the Department of Agriculture, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service monitors our Nation’s agriculture to protect against agricultural pests and diseases.
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
In any case, if I grow hybrid maize or hybrid pearl mallet or any hybrid, I have to sow fresh seed every year. I cannot keep the seed of the same plant. If I keep the seed of the same plant, yield will be much less and there will be a wide variation in the field, like maturity period, quality and so on.
We took a plant that was being closed by a big company thinking there was no good use for it, and we came in with a different perspective. We bought some used equipment, as simple as we could.
We’ve seen from shows like ‘Game of Thrones’ that the book can become a seed, which you plant in the ground of great TV creators, and it can sprout out into a big tree.
I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today.
Evolution has made us omnivores, and substantial quantities of meat can be produced by feeding plant matter whose production does not directly compete with growing food crops: crop residues, food processing waste, low-quality grain, and controlled grazing by ruminants.
Look at the Weimar Republic and their hyperinflation in the early ’20s. It didn’t happen overnight. I’ve used the analogy, it’s a lot like soybeans: you plant ’em, you wait. Conditions take some time. You need some sun; you need some water, but ultimately things start to grow, and are we in that phase or not?
If we plant the right seeds, tomorrow will be better. If you put out good things, then you’ll get good things back. That’s part of our responsibility as entertainers.
It was very important thousands of years ago to categorize things. I can eat that plant, I can’t eat that plant. Or this tribe, not that tribe. We don’t have to do that anymore – we have processed food now!
When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat.
The deadnettle is the Punxsutawney Phil of the plant world: short of stature but stout of heart. At the first hint of winter’s wane, its stem rises from the ground, and a green, grasping hand of sepals unclenches to divulge two silky-white petals, one of which unfurls straight up toward the sky.
The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.
I became pregnant by my first love at 17 and did what my parents thought was the right thing. I married him. My first husband and I moved to Janesville, Wis., where he worked in a Chrysler plant.
I really like mugwort. It’s a witch plant and a purifier of energy. It’s considered to be very important and powerful in the Celtic and Scandinavian tradition.
If a power station were to be built down the road, I’d prefer a nuclear plant over an oil burner, and definitely over a coal burner. We simply have to lessen our consumption of fossil fuels.
Every small business will give you an entrepreneurial way of looking at things. I guarantee you that for every plant that closes, if you gave it to one small-business person in that community, he or she would find a way to make it work. The small-business attitude is you always find a way to make it work.
The prime communities of the Southwest are survival communities. Their sustenance is governed by rainfall and wind direction. You can study little enclaves of plant materials, how they huddle together for protection. Some are nurse crops.
The 500X and Jeep Renegade are very different cars, but they are manufactured in the same plant and share R&D, which reduces the total investment required by 1 billion euros. That is why I’m convinced that the industry needs and will see more consolidation in the future.
I don’t have a manager who’s secretly on Interscope. I’m the complete opposite of an industry plant.
Anytime we make additional investment in a coal plant, we are really challenging whether that investment is economic.
As a biologist, I can’t think of myself as anything but an animal among animals and plant.
The redwoods you can see in Muir Woods are nothing like the redwood titans that stand in the rainforest valleys of the North Coast, closer to Oregon. These are the dreadnoughts of trees, the blue whales of the plant kingdom.
A man doesn’t plant a tree for himself. He plants it for posterity.
I have learned how to plant coastal hay, fertilize and bale it.
When fans come to me, and they say, ‘You’re my favorite singer in rock music,’ and I go, ‘What about Steven Tyler?’ ‘No, I like you better.’ ‘What about Robert Plant?’ ‘I like you better.’ That’s kind of weird to me, because I’m like, ‘No, dude – Steven Tyler and Robert Plant are gods.’
We know we cannot plant seeds with closed fists. To sow, we must open our hands.
Hemp is a part of the cannabis plant, and it is very useful.
Barium, which is commonly found in power plant waste and scrubber wastewater, has been linked to heart problems and diseases in other organs.
I started trading stocks, options and futures while I was at UCLA, using my earnings from working summers at the old IBM plant on Cottle Road. I never lost interest in how companies work. It’s fundamental to who I am.
