Adultery - which is the only grounds for divorce in New York - is not grounds for divorce in California. As a matter of fact adultery in Southern California is grounds for marriage.

In every marriage more than a week old there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find and continue to find grounds for marriage.

There are moments in life when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word it overflows and its secret Spilt on the ground like water can never be gathered together.

The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden heaven is a playground.

Does the imam have a legal right to build the mosque at Ground Zero? The answer is yes. But is it the right thing to do? The answer is no. And most Americans and most moderate Muslims join with me in that call.

We believe the use of force against Iraq especially with reference to previous resolutions of the UN Security Council has no grounds including legal grounds.

Imam Rauf and his backers have every legal right to build their extravagant Islamic center within the lethal radius of Ground Zero. But the rest of us have the right to question why they insist on doing so.

It was also my idea that the advisory committees of the Academy should replace the legal committees of the German Reichstag which was gradually fading into the background in the Reich.

I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada and I decided to throw that all away and move to America where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings.

There are hurdles to overcome in sport and in life. Sport is a very valuable learning ground for how to live your life in the best possible way.

Now learning a bit more about footballers I think what they need to do well is someone who really wants to stay in the background and just be a strong support.

I had a lot of trouble with engineers because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view and then learning how to perform that function.

I saw as a teacher how if you take that spark of learning that those children have and you ignite it you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.

The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

It's very important in a leadership role not to place your ego at the foreground and not to judge everything in relationship to how your ego is fed.

There has not yet been a major ground offensive battle... There are we know negotiations going on between the opposition forces and the Taliban leadership for surrender.

That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people not simply following the popular opinion of the moment.

Under the leadership of President Bush and Vice President Cheney the United States has given up the moral high ground that we used to occupy as an international leader.

And if the imam and the Muslim leadership in that community is so intent on building bridges then they should voluntarily move the mosque away from ground zero and move it whether it's uptown or somewhere else but move it away from that area the same as the pope directed the Carmelite nuns to move a convent away from Auschwitz.

I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership but raising children isn't. Hey it made me a better leader: you have to take a lot of people's needs into account you have to look down the road. Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy.

A functioning robust democracy requires a healthy educated participatory followership and an educated morally grounded leadership.

We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference unmixed with considerations of a different order.

I have the same sense of the power and virtue of knowledge that some people get from a religious background.
