Ground Coat

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or coat:

    When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.
    Miles Franklin (1879–1954)

    Prepare your silken coat before it rains, and don’t wait until you are thirsty to dig a well.
    Chinese proverb.
