Doug Forrester
I suspect if you go now you'll find them in the sand, but then again there's no regulation to do so. I understand it's not a requirement. But should we, for public safety, be doing that? Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.
Roger Fujioka

Richard Tosaw

Mark Twain
A scent of jasmine and a rasp of sand.
James Morris
We have nothing (in Randolph County) to prevent their construction. The area planning commission is the key. We've tried to get an ordinance passed.

Robby Davis
The sand is soft, but the ball comes out easily.

The need for oil-sand equipment is the poster child of new demand. We don't see any sign of demand slowing.
Steve Hoedt
Who here has been to Hawaii? It's so boring. What's an overactive mandolin player supposed to do in Hawaii? The only thing people want to do is lay in the sun and read. I like the reading part, but man, the sun freaks me out. I love the beach, except for the sun, sand, and water.
Chris Thile
If you move into the quicksand, this loose packing will collapse. We then have densely packed sand at the bottom, and water floating on top of it. It's the difficulty of getting water into this very densely packed sand that makes it difficult for you to pull your foot out.
Daniel Bonn
It's strange; we look just east and west of us and homeowners are losing beach. A lot of these docks are sitting over sand.

Jeanne Butterfield
If you go outside and dig down 8 inches and have pure sand — that's where our fires occur. The plants are stressed, the ground is dry and we get these windy days. What could be a little fire could turn into a big fire quickly.
Scott Peterich
The commission is really drawing a line in the sand. If you're Microsoft, you'd say this is just wrong and it's not the way the law works and the market works.
Ronald Cass

David Shirk
Write injuries in sand, kindnesses in marble.
French Proverb

Amy Klobuchar
We are proud to be the only bank servicing the Sand Island community and are pleased to provide an expanded facility to all of the customers in the area.

John Roark
It's amazing where you find sand inside people's reels.
Andy White

Kurt Mayer
To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.

William Blake
We want to open up another buying opportunity for Sand Creek, and that is for moderately priced homes.
Jeffrey Katz
Well, then we're happy. Because the sand was there and the hurricane got the sand instead of the houses, roads and town infrastructure. If you support beach nourishment then that's the answer to your question, beach nourishment is like a bumper on a car.
Bob Muller
From Greenland's icy mountains, / From India's coral strand, / Where Afric's sunny fountains / Roll down their golden sand.

Ryuji Imada
The Bank of Japan's feeble 10 basis-point rate cut to 0.15 percent shows the head-in-sand attitude that has led to weak money supply growth and a slow economy.
Tony Crescenzi
Use due diligence. Check out a few instructors and cross compare. There needs to be more happening in a class than just the physical part. They don?t need certification, but should at least know both the common and sand script names of each posture.
Martin Berson
That's an exciting bird to find because they're so tiny and out on the sand where they're hard to find.
Pat Gallagher
We've had our head in the sand.
William Crawford
It's not a matter of liking it. It needed some sort of a change, and hitting sand wedges on the last two holes, wedge on the last hole ... doesn't make it a good finish. I think it's good. I think it's very fair.
Digvijay Singh

Michael Bates
The surface has a bit of a quirky reputation, so it's important that he already has started there. It can be tiring for some horses the first time over it, but he handled it. It has the reputation of being very safe and if it rains, since it's sand-based, it can handle the moisture.
Todd Pletcher
Microsoft has to do something to start growing again and I think the only way to do that is to buy companies. It's still a great company but it's stuck in the sand.

During the hurricane season, when we did open last year, we were giving out 5,000 to 10,000 sand bags a day.
Randy Roberts

Andrew Thomas
Somewhere you draw a line in the sand ... unless you have an unspoken policy to keep moving it.
Rosa Durando

Scott Magruder
So it's sand in the hour glass now. And the closer it gets, the better it is for us.
Michael Hitchcock

Jonathan Sehring
A lot of small ponds that were isolated from the Gulf are now exchanging waters with the Gulf, ... lots of sand removal leaving the marsh exposed to the Gulf.

Heath Harvey
House of Sand and Fog.
Andre Dubus
It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
Muhammad Ali
Some people put lines in the sand.
Sen. Martin Golden
Would throw sand into the gears of human progress.
Gregory Mankiw
Film, there's this whole allure because it just lasts and lasts, but I think the allure for me of doing a play is that it's almost like the sand paintings they make in Venice. It just goes away after one time, and that's it. You had to be there that one night to be part of that.
Marisa Tomei
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
If we lose this thing called 'aloha,' we're just like any sand-and-surf destination. I don't believe we can afford to go there.
Rex Johnson
It'll be a very uniform sand, excellent color, excellent quality and it will be an enjoyable experience.
Gary Mcalpin
There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning. A fish that is in the water has no choice that he is. Genius would have it that we swim in sand. We are fish and we drown.
James Dean
When you look at the sand truck and where it ended up, you can't help but believe in God. There's no other way to explain him (Smith) not getting hurt any worse.
Keith Simmons
I looked down and it looked like a torpedo on the sand. She was looking right at me.
Preston Clark
You could tell it aggravated him a little bit, ... When the show was over, the guy said, 'I guess I'll just take this thing home, sand the paint off and let it rust.' .
Kevin Lafferty
It is our art that has an opportunity to leave a footprint in the sand. They don't wrap fish in our work.
Hugh Newell Jacobsen
It was a very difficult stage with many sand dunes and some camel grass.
Stephane Peterhansel
Most of the time, there is no water coming out of the San Luis Rey. But when it 'goes,' it goes big. If sand is coming from the river, it has to be coming in huge pulses.
Neal Driscoll
People who don't see that, I think, are sticking their heads in the sand.
Terry Lanni
Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
Robert Service

Jorge Luis Borges
This way, people in wheelchairs can enjoy the sand.
Michael Emkin

Scott Schnell
[Frantz said the timing is right for a boxed set (notwithstanding the group's early-'90s collection,] Sand in the Vaseline ... This is a beautiful boxed set ... I'm happy with everything.
Talking Heads
They'll probably just throw sand down.
Bill Simpson
I think they've got their head in the sand, failing to recognize their market share is deteriorating and will continue to deteriorate much faster than they or anyone else anticipated a few years ago.
Chris Mecray
You have to introduce water into the sand. And the easiest way to do that is to make it trickle along your leg into the quicksand, by making a circular motion with your leg.
Daniel Bonn
It's completely possible that there's no water involved at all and that what we're seeing are just dry flows of dust and sand. You can get massive flows of material that's completely dry and ends up having pretty much the same shape as if they were wet.
Allan Treiman
It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
