“Sun Tzu said: The art of war recognises nine varieties of ground: (1) Dispersive ground; (2) facile ground; (3) contentious ground; (4) open ground; (5) ground of intersecting highways; (6) serious ground; (7) difficult ground; (8) hemmed-in ground; (9) desperate ground.”
“On open ground, do not try to block the enemy's way. On the ground of intersecting highways, join hands with your allies.”
“Ground on which we can only be saved from destruction by fighting without delay, is desperate ground.”
“For even if you should have stood your ground, he said, yet what ground was it?”
“Joy isn't grounded in our circumstances; it is grounded in the unchanging character of God.”
“They said it was only a ground shark; but I was not wholly reassured. It is as bad to be eaten by a ground shark as by any other.”
