“There is but an inch of difference between a cushioned chamber and a padded cell.”
G. K. Chesterton
“That was the difference in the game. They gave the starters a cushion at the start of the fourth quarter. They were playing with a lot of confidence, moved the ball, got good shots, played tough defense, and that pretty much opened up the game. So the starters got back in and put it away.”
Paul Pierce
“The money will be for a 2-inch sand cushion and a 4-inch concrete slab.”
Chris Boone
“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion”
Henry David Thoreau
“It's good to have a little cushion. But it's not going to be easy.”
Gabe Kapler
“We saw that the base had been worn, but it was worn uniformly. We put the cushion back on and continued to grade it. The jockeys and the [exercise riders] said it was great when training resumed.”
Fred Lipkin
“The relatively high inventory levels are providing some cushion to the market, but of course demand is rising in the U.S.. We are in a more comfortable situation than a few months ago, but the structural problems this market has haven't gone away.”
