I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

The house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock; yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace

What became of my money? Well, I was not used to wealth when the studios began dumping it into my lap. The dollars slipped through my fingers like sand and went to pay for automobiles, houses and one great item - clothing.
Mae Busch
We had a wonderful time everywhere overseas. But it was hard. For five months we never gave less than five shows a day. It was too cold to sleep nights and there wasn`t water enough to take a bath. I had to do my own washing. And I ate more sand and fog, ...

With their souls of patent leather, they come down the road. Hunched and nocturnal, where they breathe they impose, silence of dark rubber, and fear of fine sand.

When you look at the volume -- I think in `95, when they had the last slide, they were talking about 600,000 tons of sand and mud coming down -- there`s really nothing that can stop something of that magnitude. It`s almost completely a sheer cliff.

We can potentially get the computational power of 100 workstations on the size of a grain of sand. We`ll do it in steps; I`m hopeful that we can do it in about a decade.

Water flows through the ground naturally. At every dam site around the world, seepage occurs. The water tends to move through gravel or clay and sand.

To teach a child an instrument without first giving him preparatory training and without developing singing, reading and dictating to the highest level along with the playing is to build upon sand.
Andrew Tagli
This is a joke. Kids have been playing (here) ... families have been walking all over. People have been laying out on the sand there. It`s crazy. But I`ll be glad when it`s finally all cleaned up.
Jason Walker
This estuary was a 40-foot-deep holding area for arriving salmon, and for juveniles heading out to sea, ... Now a wedge of sand and rock extends all the way upstream to Honeydew. Some estimate that area holds 80 million cubic yards of fill.

The Sand Pebbles has always been one of my favorite films, I suppose because its the most difficult film - from a physical and logistical standpoint - that I`ve ever made.
Robert Wise
The question is: how bad do things have to get before you will do something about it? Where is your line in the sand? If you don`t enforce the constitutional limitations on your government very soon, you are likely to find out what World War III will be l...
