Our criteria is that it’s okay to invest in companies so long as they stop lobbying in Washington, stop exploring for new hydrocarbons, and sit down with every one else to plan to keep 80 percent of the reserves in the ground.
I watch every day when we hit and take ground balls and the way we go about our business. If I saw any lackadaisical approach, that would concern me.
I can’t bring a sword into the ground, so have to make do with the bat.
No commander in chief would ever say, ‘I’m not going to listen to the guys on the ground.’
I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.
We need to truly understand what economic injustice and inequality looks like for hard-working Canadians grappling with it every day on the ground, at home and at work.
Within us – the heart of us, really – is a ‘ground’ that is to our thoughts and feelings, our relationships with others and ourselves, as is the Earth to the leaves that first race across her and then, no longer able to run, give themselves up to nourish her body so that she may give birth again come the spring.
Memories of the last nine years have turned Ground Zero from a site of horror, to a reminder of grief, to an occasion for ludicrous artistic posturing – and now to something very close to parody.
Taking part in an Olympics on home ground is something you dream about.
I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods.
Every acorn on the ground is just as alive as the three-hundred-year-old oak tree that towers over it.
But a lot of that kind of work is done pre-flight, coordinating efforts with the flight directors and the ground teams, and figuring out how you’re going to operate together.
After writing a page, Hemingway would let it float to the ground. He never crumpled pages – he believed that if you crumpled them, you’d be insane in a year.
President Obama celebrates diversity, yet instinctively seeks common ground and builds on that common ground to make progress.
My organization, National Action Network (NAN), was on the ground talking and meeting with people in Ferguson, just as we did in Staten Island following Eric Garner’s death.
I wasn’t really geeky. In terms of the high school hierarchy, I was very much in the middle ground. You have the really popular guys, you have the nerdy guys, and then you have the people who really don’t care – and that was me. I wasn’t really picked on or anything like that.
The horror movie will not go away. Look at the change in the Hollywood landscape as a signifier of its durability. At one point it was just one of many styles of films called ‘product’ that between, say, 1930 and 1970, the movie city ground out like sausages or hula hoops at a rate of four or five a week.
I’m glad that it didn’t take as long to get Shepard off the ground as it’s taken this series. I’d begun to think the Congo would be ahead of us in the space race before Whispering Smith ever got on the air.
Concentration and focus – they are very important, just as important as in anything, I suppose, if you’re going to succeed. I’ve seen a lot of good players on the training ground, but when it comes to the game, they can’t keep the same levels up on a Saturday.
I started in high school to be interested in music and from there, I decided to study in college. Yeah, you’re right, I did start late, but luckily, because of my schooling, I picked up a lot of ground pretty quick.
I repeatedly have to correct this belief. In a sense, magnitude involves steps of 10 because every increase of one magnitude represents a tenfold amplification of the ground motion. But there is no ‘scale of 10’ in the sense of an upper limit.
I was always a very quirky kid. I remember very early like fourth or fifth grade doing pratfalls to make my friends laugh, like falling on the ground on the playground and doing like bits and characters.
The ultimate ground of faith and knowledge is confidence in God.
We can guess that the unacceptable conduct of the soldiers at Abu Ghraib resulted in part from the dangerous state of affairs on the ground in a theater of war.
I became convinced that there was greater satisfaction from giving my money away and seeing something come out of the ground, like a hospital or a university.
Although the French were very friendly and helpful. On one location we were to film at the top of the Eiffel Tower but we couldn’t, as it was so misty with four inches of snow on the ground. We couldn’t see a thing but we finally got it done.
My goal was to tell a dialogue between high fashion and streetwear. So, the name Off-White, in my mind, is between black and white. So, that middle ground is a mixture between both genres of fashion.
Hopefully as a result of ‘The Frozen Ground,’ more and more people will be aware of the horrible things that happen to ladies all over the world and give them respect. This movie is a love letter to those victims.
History is often best told from the ground, out of a car window or in someone’s kitchen, not through some huge production mechanism or grand framing device.
There are allowable limits for radiation going – I mean there’s radiation all around us. There’s radiation from your television set. There’s radiation from your computer. There’s radiation actually occurring in the ground.
Iran believes that before Imam Mahdi reappears, it must prepare a fertile ground for him and that it must control the Muslim world.
The combat exclusion policy was adopted during the Clinton Administration in 1994 and says women can ‘be assigned to all positions for which they are qualified, except that women shall be excluded from assignment to units below the brigade level whose primary mission is to engage in direct combat on the ground.’
We’ll always need energy. We need to communicate, too, but we’re not stuck with hand gestures and smoke signals. There are better ways to power our future than by digging fossil fuel from the ground and setting it on fire.
In my view, the future of politics is, without a doubt, social liberalism married to economic conservatism. Which means we have to make an economic argument to social liberals, that it’s OK to vote for us. But we won’t run the economy into the ground at the same time.
No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.
Films like ‘Bond’ fund training schemes for film technicians of the future, and working on films themselves provides a great training ground for budding directors and cinematographers. If there’s no money there for films to be made, it’s like a house of cards, it all comes tumbling down.
If it helped you get your music off the ground, I’m glad you done it.
Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
I drive a hybrid, and we’ve changed our light bulbs and windows and installed solar panels and geothermal ground source heat pumps and most everything else.
I never eat in a restaurant that’s over a hundred feet off the ground and won’t stand still.
The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
I love when a protagonist and antagonist can find common ground.
I said that if an alien came to visit, I’d be embarrassed to tell them that we fight wars to pull fossil fuels out of the ground to run our transportation. They’d be like, ‘What?’
If you want to be loved, keep your head on your shoulders and feet on the ground. There is nothing wrong in that. I do the same, and others should also follow this motto.
And, you know, you try and preach to them there’s more to this game than just walking up to home plate, swinging the bat, fielding a ground ball. There’s some dedication in it, some love you’ve got to put into this work.
When I’m not working on the ground, spending time with my husband and daughter puts me at ease.
So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.
I was so lucky because what I did in ‘Thor’ was I built the character from the ground up – the foundations of his spirit, really. He was someone who was born with an expectation that he would one day be a king, born with an entitlement.
The Muslims wanted to reign over the whole of Mostar, then gain ground to the sea and finally create an Islamic state. That is what our Croatians defend themselves against.
For me, the stronger ground I have in my personal life, then the more will I have to fight the good fight.
As long as I know my head’s in the right place, my feet are on the ground, I think I’ll be fine.
India may be the soul of world cricket, but IPL is its commercial heart. Just as ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ changed the ground rules for quiz shows by injecting a massive dose of money into the equation, IPL has changed the dynamics of the cricket economy.
To be absolutely alone for the first time in the cockpit of a plane hundreds of feet above the ground is an experience never to be forgotten.
Instead, we did take our eye off the ball. We decided, instead of finishing the job in Afghanistan, to go into Iraq. And today, unfortunately, if you look at the situation on the ground, it is a mess.
