Ground Quotations | Page 4

My heart is in Coventry City now but I do have a twinge. It's a bit like when your dad takes you to a football ground and you grow up supporting another team, you still have a little bit of affection. I played for Burnley for ten years but things have changed and now I'm at Coventry.

My gut tells me that these guys will renegotiate the price and there will be a significant haircut. Assuming they're reasonable and want to get the deal done, there's got to be some middle ground they can find.

My ground strokes are my strength. I rely on them to produce some winners and some errors by the other player. I like coming into the net since I'm taller. But I have to work on my volleys.

My hunch is, we're watching a bureaucratic slow-roll take place, but the danger is it's happening as the situation on the ground is getting worse. The administration has been in this knot of having called the situation genocide but then failing to do anything.

Maybe they can't be in the penthouse but we don't want them all on the ground floor or in the basement.

Maybe another referee would have given it a different interpretation. I was more upset that he booked Robbie as well when he was on the deck. I appreciate it can be difficult when there are lots of bodies on the ground and it is hard to see what is going on.

No one would have predicted in the 1980s that Americans and Russians would be working side-by-side on the ground in Russia destroying thousands of nuclear weapons systems, as well as biological and chemical weapons.

No one would have predicted in the 1980's that Americans and Russians would be working side-by-side on the ground in Russia destroying thousands of nuclear weapons systems, as well as biological and chemical weapons.

Now the New Year reviving old Desires,/ The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires,/ Where the White Hand of Moses on the Bough/ Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires.

Now you should expect facts on the ground to change as energy production and conservation come to the fore.

Nevada is a perfect testing ground for a candidate, given its diversity.

Next week poses a tough challenge against some good teams. I hope the weather is decent this weekend, so the girls can get in some needed court time to work on their ground strokes.

Next week is going to be a challenge. We've broken ground on a new parking structure. And during this time, we'll be short about 800 parking spaces,

Neither New York nor Virginia holds the moral high ground here. New York has for many years not advanced its recycling and waste reduction programs as much as it needs to.

(Neil) is a returning starter who has a lot of speed, covers a lot of ground in the outfield, and has a surprising strong bat. He's deceiving. He's one of the fastest that we have on this team.

New Orleans and its music were meant to be. We couldn't ask for a better symbol of hope than the houses that are beginning to come out of the ground in the New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village. The hard work of Branford Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and the New Orleans affiliate has made it possible for others, like Dave Matthews Band, to support the project. On behalf of Habitat for Humanity International, we thank Dave Matthews Band for this most generous and sustaining contribution.

New Line Cinema is breaking new ground by blending great independent music into an interactive experience where anyone can create a hot musical mix online. By providing an easy way for music to be used across media, Pump Audio offers producers and editors more opportunity to meet the growing global demand for digital content.

Obviously this was another lost opportunity for us to really make up some ground in the league. Tennessee made their shots and made plays down the stretch, and we didn't. We couldn't get our shots to drop. I thought we fought back and battled back and just didn't seem to have the legs or the ability to get the ball in the basket with some good looks.

Obviously, the Council had their concerns, and obviously, we didn't just want to invalidate the concerns of the community. So we took that information to heart, and I think we've got a great kind of middle ground now.

Obviously nothing is 100 percent effective. But we know that doing nothing is 100 percent ineffective. You can try a variety of different devices or electronic monitoring systems, but at the end of the day, if you don't have somebody on the ground who is able to distinguish what is normal and what is out of the ordinary, your chances of defeating those terrorists is pretty slim.

Right now it's just general maintenance. We're trying to stabilize them so they don't melt away into the ground when it rains. This time last year, it was raining like mad and there was erosion.

Right now in the Senate, it's very difficult to move any kind of climate initiative forward. The bottom line for the senator is that she wants some kind of action to be taken, and she believes it's possible to find a middle ground that a critical mass can agree on.

Rick Rashid is one of the world's great research leaders. He built Microsoft Research from the ground up to its current status as one of the top computer science research laboratories. Microsoft Research couldn't be in better hands.

Peter is particularly adept at winning ball on the ground and hitting above his weight in the tackle.

Perkins wasn't running as hard as he could run, and we put Hall in. Hall lays it on the ground twice, once on a pass and once on a run. So you go to your next one - Jamie Fordham. Jamie did a fine job. He ran the ball hard. That's just the way it is. If somebody's not getting the job done you go to the next one.

Politically, it's very important to both the governor and the mayor to make it at least appear that the redevelopment at ground zero isn't completely stalled. Obviously, it took a lot of money to make this happen.

Nobody is talking about putting in ground troops into a combat situation. Everybody agrees that the air campaign has to run its course until such time as those Serb forces are degraded, diminished, demoralized and on their way out.

Nearly every rescued person, temporary resident of the Superdome, looter or loiterer on the high ground of the freeway I saw on TV was African-American. And from the look of it, they weren't wealthy residents of the Garden District. This storm appears to have hurt blacks more directly than whites, but the broadcasters scarcely mentioned that fact.

Nearly 30,000 fans turned out to support the tribute match and provide one of the best atmospheres at the ground for ages. I was so happy to be part of it.

On the other side, our glaring concern right now comes at the center position. We must have put the ball on the ground 10 times or so today during the quarterback-center exchange alone. This is something we'll continue to address each day until we find the right personnel or combination. I know it's still awful early but it is something we need to get rectified pretty quickly.

One of them began resisting, so I approached the deputy, identifying myself, and began to help. Chatman and I wrestled the guy to the ground and found he was carrying a loaded .38.

One of the pleasing aspects for me now is that the players come up to us now and say they want to go down to the ground and do some work. They understand the work that's needed and, since they can't do it at home, basically we've got to do most of our training while we're away and that's one of the things we're trying to change.

One of the objectives of the Forest Service was to get (the bridge) on the ground so other people could look at it and possibly build one.

One of the problems is the ground gets saturated, and the trees are more likely to fall over followed by a stiff wind.

One of my favorite dishes in the world used to be steak tartare, which is raw ground beef seasoned and then served.

I was flabbergasted. I was trying to get a glimpse of him, and there he was, sprawled out on the ground right there.

I was spoiled by some of the guys I had in the past, like Robby Thompson and Jeff Kent. I know the importance of that infield defense. There's more balls on the ground than in the air. Consequently, you have to play 'D' on the field.

I wouldn't think so unless the ground happens to be very fast and dry, then they might move the ball around a bit more.

I would have preferred the ground to be riding very fast, but I don't think it will be too much of an inconvenience if there is any more rain. I go there hopeful he can get into the places.

I was pointing to the ground and I knocked his mask out. That was unintentional and he knows it.

I ground my faith upon God's word, and not upon the church.

If we get elected, we can hit the ground running.

If we're confronted with targets on the ground in Canada, we're going to do what we have to do.

If we ground out a 1-0 game, it's the same as winning 5-0. It's all the same to me.

If we're on the edge of an outbreak centered in Springfield or Branson, or if we're ground zero, there will be a spike in the numbers.

If these talks are a success, clearly we hope a U.N. presence can be on the ground in the next few weeks,

I grabbed the gun. I took it out of his hand and took him to the ground and I put my friend in my car and drove him to the hospital.

I got what I was looking for ? a ground ball ? and unfortunately, it took a bad hop.

I got the ground ball I was looking for.

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream, you got your head in the clouds you're not at all what you seem.

If they are using more precise aircraft, there is a ground for us to be extra worried. We are waiting for them. We are not going let them overrun us.

If we can field ground balls and play solid on defense, I think we'll have a good chance to win every game.

If they had resources, they would not be killing each other over grazing ground and water.

If they want to dump the ball underneath, fine. We're doing a good job of getting them on the ground and not letting any yards after the catch.

If things don't change rather substantially from where they were yesterday, then we're looking at a very high likelihood of a strike. There's a lot of ground to cover on some very important issues and some take-backs that must be removed.

I have had my dream -- like others -- and it has come to nothing, so that I remain now carelessly with feet planted on the ground and look up at the sky.

I don't have that overpowering pitch. I've got to stay low in the (strike) zone and get ground balls and weak fly balls.

I'd like to change my butt. It hangs a little too long. God forbid what it will look like when I'm older. It will probably be dragging along on the ground behind me.

I'd like not to have got into that situation. I was trying to get out of there alive basically. I just had to readjust my thinking and try to get a ground ball or pop fly, and it happened. That is a positive way to look at it. I would say that it was a positive outing.

I did not realize Aldridge was as long as he is. He covers a lot of ground out there. Very tough to defend. Tonight it was real tough on us because of the size, strength and quickness around the basket.

I don't feel a sense of urgency. We've been trying to gain ground almost all year, but I don't see guys acting any different than earlier. And if they are, then they weren't doing a good enough job before.

I'd like to see them build a new operating system from the ground up that's much simpler and smaller.

I don't believe there are any differences in what people are saying. We all agree that ground troops should not be introduced until Yugoslav forces are retreating. We also all agree that ground troops will not be used for fighting.

I don't always succeed in creating a delicious dinner for my family; I would, however, argue for the likely success of Taco Night. Who doesn't love a taco? Make it with veggie crumbles! Add fish! Have you tried ground buffalo? The results are always impressive.

I'd be right in the middle of it. You just got to be on the ground immediately, with all your emergency response people.

I am happy with the judgment because it will help establish the ground reality on this issue (rehabilitation) within three months.

I am glad to be down here tonight, ... This is a great area and great training ground for bass fisherman.

IBM is taking the high ground and sitting it out while other companies slug it out. There is no company in a better position to do this.

I bet for an Indian, shooting an old fat pioneer woman in the back with an arrow, and she fires her shotgun into the ground as she falls over, is like the top thing you can do.

I believe we have the best ground troops in America knocking on doors, getting on phones for Gore.

I believe that through the joint efforts of China and the U.S., my visit will deepen our mutual understanding, broaden our common ground and promote friendship and cooperation between our two countries, and that China-U.S. relations will enter a new stage of development,

I believe the administration's policy to store the waste in a facility 2,000 feet below ground in the Nevada desert remains the best alternative,

I am used to doing exhibits in very charged locations, but none has more poignancy than Ground Zero,

I am standing in the ground at the moment and the weather here is absolutely fabulous. The sun is shining brightly and this will help in preparing a good pitch.

Causey has no defense. He's an accountant, and he was right there at ground zero.

Cattle will float up to three days in floodwaters. If they can make ground within three days, cattle are pretty right apart from very young calves and old bulls,

But it's them that are so good. That's what this business is all about -- it's people from the ground up. It's the homeless to Bay St. bankers.

Bush stands at a precipice. He's lost ground among independents. He seems to be starting to lose ground among his own party. And he lost the Democrats a long time ago.

Buddy puts his nose to the ground and gets things done. He came up the hard way, and nobody gave anything to him. I have lots of respect for him for that.

But because that option does not appear to be legally or politically viable, I believe the administration's policy to store the waste in a facility 2,000 feet below ground in the Nevada desert remains the best alternative. Should a politically viable alternative emerge, I will be willing to consider it.

But as we have consistently pointed out, this is much more than just a new ground for Liverpool Football Club. It has always been about the regeneration of north Liverpool and the benefits it will bring to a local community that desperately needs them.

But, again, we need to hit the ground running, and we've picked some form and some battle-hardened players.

Basically we are just trying to get better communication as doubles teams and definitely work on getting more consistent on our serves and be able to come in and play some volleys at the net. Our ground strokes aren't looking too bad and the rest of the game is okay. But we are missing some opportunities that are showing up on the scoreboard for us.

Basically, it's like taking seven steps backward from what we're trying to achieve in the school system. If we start this City Schools Foundation, do we have to use that kind of money to fill the void, which doesn't help that situation at all? If we get this thing off the ground this first part of the year, and we start out in a $7 million hole, that's not going to help.

I make sure my jersey doesn't touch the ground because I'm superstitious and I put everything on my right side first, then my left side.

I have a lot of reason to believe, as we saw in the 2012 election, most Americans don't agree with the extremists on any side of an issue, but there needs to continue to be an effort to find common ground, or even take it to higher ground on behalf of the future.

I have a lot of dirt and glass on the ground in my room, but everything is still there. Some people lost their whole rooms.

I had just opened my shop when there was a big bang. I fell on the ground and the roof fell on me. Then I heard another explosion and I was struck in the head.

I have my own charity I am trying to get off the ground as well, which some of my concerts go toward funding, ... I am building a school-the Roberta Flack School of Music-in two brownstones I purchased in New York City. The purpose is to help other young musician artists just as I received good teaching and help from my family and friends back home.

I felt like I kept the ball down in the strike zone, and that's why I was getting those ground balls,

I felt I was inbounds; I tried to make sure I got my foot on the ground and dove, making sure to stay inbounds. The official called me out, so I can't really do much about it.

I feel that this is a disaster waiting to happen. Putting something like this below the ground is a very, very bad idea.

I feel confident that we will win this series and make the adjustments, just having four opportunities outside to catch fly balls and take ground balls off an infield, I think we're going to be OK.

I feel on a couple of plays I could've held my ground a little longer.

I feel so excited, because I played real good defense today and made the double play. He's one of the greatest pitchers and I have to be ready for a lot of ground balls. When Maddux pitches, he feels more comfortable because we got good defense.

I did have a little sand flying, but I looked up and saw the first bounce, ... I thought that could be close. Then you can tell by the crowd; you can hear them kind of gasp. So I saw it go in. I just didn't know what to do, didn't know what to think. I looked at my caddie and he said, 'Hey, good shot.' I've been four feet off the ground ever since.

I can't remember when 40 points was the last place total at indoors. I knew we were on shaky ground coming in, but if you told me we would score 40 points - I'd thought that would be good for seventh place. I'm sad to finish last, but we're loaded with young talent that will help this team in the future.

I can tell you there was a local fire marshal who was out there on the ground on the scene on Wednesday afternoon.

Ground zero is Charlotte. With all the garages, all the drivers, it's, like, natural.

Ground Zero in the 2004 presidential campaign. ... I believe that, had Al Gore stayed in Ohio, he probably would have won here four years ago.
