Famous quotes containing the words home and/or ground:
“Some parents feel that if they introduce their children to alcohol gradually in the home environment, the children will learn to use alcohol in moderation. I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. First of all, alcohol is not healthy for the growing child. Second, introducing alcohol to a child suggests that you condone drinking—even to the point where you want to teach your child how to drink.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“Bonnie Lee: Why doesn’t he jump?
Kidd Dabb: Why, why should he jump? He’s made of rubber, he is. He wants to hit the ground to see how high he can bounce.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
