The Republicans need to work on registration and getting out their vote and their early voters and absentees. Grassroots stuff.

A man is educated and turned out to work. But a woman is educated and turned out to grass.

I'm thankful to be breathing on this side of the grass. Whatever comes comes.

Well you know I'm very supportive of what the Tea Party is trying to do. They're very concerned with spending the deficit the bailouts you know all of those kinds of things. But I really think that the strength of the Tea Party is being a grassroots movement.

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass glory in the flower. We will grieve not rather find strength in what remains behind.

It's just a job. Grass grows birds fly waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

Spontaneous combustion of grassroots politics is the future.

My advice is very simple: if you can win a small battle it gives you confidence in the political process to take on bigger battles and so it is very much a bottom-up grass-roots way of doing politics.

I have got instincts that I think are very much in tune with people's very keen sense to see something different. I did not dream of being in politics since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I was not involved in student politics or not in that partisan way.

There are three critical ingredients to democratic renewal and progressive change in America: good public policy grassroots organizing and electoral politics.

Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It's about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common passionate cause. And it's about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.

I come here to speak poetry. It will always be in the grass. It will also be necessary to bend down to hear it. It will always be too simple to be discussed in assemblies.

I've also gotten to play in front of a million people in Central Park when there was a grass roots movement calling for nuclear disarmament - it was about 1982 - they called it Peace Sunday.

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand rejoice for your soul is alive.

Breathless we flung us on a windy hill Laughed in the sun and kissed the lovely grass.

Knowing trees I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass I can appreciate persistence.

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.

Rest is not idleness and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day listening to the murmur of the water or watching the clouds float across the sky is by no means a waste of time.

To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.

Bluegrass has brought more people together and made more friends than any music in the world. You meet people at festivals and renew acquaintances year after year.

I like all kinds of music. I listen to Abigail Washburn the Punch Brothers and Marc Johnson the great clawhammer player. I also listen a lot to Sirius Radio there's a lot of bluegrass there.

I feel good about being able to take bluegrass on to television like 'Letterman' and 'The View ' and I've heard nice things about being able to do that. I really haven't felt any negativity toward me or my music.

I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be.

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter taller richer and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.
