What really happened in Vietnam was- all these things are away games for the American military. We’re not on our home turf, which means to succeed there has to be a partner.

The ‘here’ of Watts is pastel houses with window gratings in curly patterns. ‘Here’ is yard sales with bins full of stuffed animals and used water guns. Here is Crips turf Picture Quote #1

Green be the turf above thee, Friend of my better days! None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise Picture Quote #1

Popularizing - much less venturing beyond one’s secure turf - was frowned upon for many years. I think I probably internalized the prohibition, even though I was - and knew I was - among the best speakers and writers of my age cohort. I don’t mean I was the best historian - a quite different measure Picture Quote #1

The biggest mistake is trying to pinch down on the ball and ripping out a big divot, often hitting the ground before the ball. You’ll dig up some turf, but you won’t create much backspin Picture Quote #1

Along with my passion for horse breeding, I was a horse racing enthusiast... In 1974 I was elected as a committee member and subsequently as a steward of the Turf Club. I had a burning desire to clean up the sport, which had always carried the stigma of gambling and manipulation Picture Quote #1

Thy verses are as pleasing to me, o divine poet, as sleep is to the wearied on the soft turf Picture Quote #1

The road has been viewed as a male turf. If you think of the classic Odyssey, of, you know, classical literature or Jack Kerouac or almost any road story, it’s really about a man on the road. There’s an assumption that the road is too dangerous for women Picture Quote #1

Give me the clear blue sky above my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours’ march to dinner - and then to thinking! Picture Quote #1

I’m going to let my friends in the other parties fight over the turf at the cutting edge of the status quo Picture Quote #1

Today, on our own turf, we face pagan ignorance about God every bit as deep as that which the early church faced in the Roman Empire Picture Quote #1

I’m into people’s emotional lives and relationships and the complications of living. That’s my turf Picture Quote #1

When I step into the ring with someone, this has got to be their vacation spot, but my home turf. So I go the opposite side seven rounds doing the same thing. Skipping, skipping, skipping. Then I go seven rounds going both ways. Skip to the left, skip to the right Picture Quote #1

I can only be me. I do what I do, I’m not a jazz player... I don’t play jazz standards, at least not in any recognizable way. It’s not my turf but I have plenty of respect for that style of playing Picture Quote #1
