Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or shakes:
“If there were one who lived wholly without the use of money, the State itself would hesitate to demand it of him. But the rich man—not to make any invidious comparison—is always sold to the institution which makes him rich.... Thus his moral ground is taken from under his feet.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A slight wind shakes the seed-pods
my thoughts are spent
as the black seeds.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
