About every two minutes a new wave of planes would be over. The motors seemed to grind rather than roar, and to have an angry pulsation like a bee buzzing in blind fury.
Ernie Pyle
All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
Charles A. Beard
As long as you're having fun, that's the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it's over.
Barry Gibb
Everybody was in struggle, in the grind trying to make it.
Young Buck
I don't lecture and I don't grind any axes. I just want to entertain.
Gregory Peck
I grind my teeth and keep my thumbs in so tight that I've dislocated them, just not to scream. Sometimes as an actor one is lucky enough to be asked to scream.
Jane Birkin
In any profession it gets to be a grind.
Denzel Washington
Interviews are usually a follow-up, like a press junket or a publicity junket, or something like that, and I'm not doing any of that right now. I don't have any axes to grind.
Michael Nesmith
It was taunted as reality. It was dangled as a carrot. In terms of people's hopes and dreams, to say that that is less of a reality than the daily grind they find themselves in is maybe not correct.
Martin Mull
Naturally enough when I was a young dancer, I was terribly anxious to get ahead, and to get ahead quickly. I was impatient with all those older people who talked of the long grind to the top, who turned me down for jobs I knew I could do.
Anna Neagle
Nothing can substitute for just plain hard work. I had to put in the time to get back. And it was a grind. It meant training and sweating every day. But I was completely committed to working out to prove to myself that I still could do it.
Andre Agassi
Poets yearn, of course, to be published, read, and understood, but they do little, if anything, to set themselves above the common herd and the daily grind.
Wislawa Szymborska
Sometimes the wheels of justice grind slowly.
Terry Waite
The glacier was God's great plough set at work ages ago to grind, furrow, and knead over, as it were, the surface of the earth.
Louis Agassiz
The mill cannot grind with the water that is past.
Daniel D. Palmer
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.
Vladimir Lenin
When I appear in public people expect me to neigh, grind my teeth, paw the ground and swish my tail - none of which is easy.
Princess Anne
You're confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people.
