Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or coat:
“Let us unite on the safe and sure ground of fact and experiment, and we can never err; yet better, we can never differ.”

“I expect a time when, or rather an integrity by which, a man will get his coat as honestly and as perfectly fitting as a tree its bark. Now our garments are typical of our conformity to the ways of the world, i.e., of the devil, and to some extent react on us and poison us, like that shirt which Hercules put on.”
