“Did ye not hear it? - No; 'twas but the wind, / Or the car rattling o'er the stony street;/ On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; / No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet / To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.”
Lord Byron
“It gives one a sudden start in going down a barren, stony street, to see upon a narrow strip of grass, just within the iron fence, the radiant dandelion, shining in the grass, like a spark dropped from the sun”
Henry Ward Beecher
“For stony limits cannot hold love out.And what love can do that dares love attempt.”
William Shakespeare
“Minds like beds always made up,(more stony than a shore)unwilling or unable.”
William Carlos Williams
“Fall on stony ground”
Proverb
“I think that I'll give BC a lot of credit. George Mason, Yale, Stony Brook -- those three teams died when we came out hard and they didn't have a lot of fight in them, but I think BC just kept fighting back. Every opportunity they got they wanted to go hard to the goal cage. I think for the second half, for us, it was just playing with a little bit more poise and confidence, and really just getting the ball to our attackers so they could score.”
Kelly Trahon
“And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; / And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.”
