Famous quotes containing the words middle ground, middle and/or ground:

    Our children do not want models of perfection, neither do they want us to be buddies, friends, or confidants who never rise above their own levels of maturity and experience. We need to walk that middle ground between perfection and peerage, between intense meddling and apathy—the middle ground where our values, standards, and expectations can be shared with our children.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)

    I never yet feared those men who set a place apart in the middle of their cities where they gather to cheat one another and swear oaths which they break.
    Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

    The thing that made me more and more afraid
    Was that we’d ground it sharp and hadn’t known,
    And now were only wasting precious blade.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
