Ground Blades

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or blades:

“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

“The virtue of making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before does not begin to be superhuman.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
