Famous quotes containing the words gained and/or ground:
“I wasn’t born to be a fighter. I was born with a gentle nature, a flexible character and an organism as equilibrated as it is judged hysterical. I shouldn’t have been forced to fight constantly and ferociously. The causes I have fought for have invariably been causes that should have been gained by a delicate suggestion. Since they never were, I made myself into a fighter.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“If you are looking down while you are walking it is better to walk up hill the ground is nearer.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
