Ground

Famous quotes containing the word ground:

    The poet is like the prince of the clouds
    Who haunts the tempest and laughs at the archer;
    Exiled on the ground in the midst of jeers,
    His giant’s wings prevent him from walking.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Just as the hand that strikes the ground cannot fail,
    So is the ruin certain of him who cherishes anger.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
