Famous quotes containing the words proving and/or ground:

    What is
    there in being able
    to say that one has dominated the stream in an attitude of
    self-defense;

    in proving that one has had the experience
    of carrying a stick?
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
