Gromit was the name of a cat. When I started modeling the cat I just didn't feel it was quite right, so I made it into a dog because he could have a bigger nose and bigger, longer legs.

Grooming a successor, is it an inheritance? In a democratic party, you don't want leaders appointed that way. They have to be appointed properly by the people.
‐‐ Robert Mugabe
Grooming is 10 times more important than makeup. I use a hair gloss with a teeny bit of color in it that makes my hair very shiny.
‐‐ Stephanie Seymour
Grooming oneself with all the crazed compulsion of an under-exercised lab rat in order to hook a rich man and obtain a lush lifestyle makes a certain (albeit seedy) sense.
‐‐ Julie Burchill
Grooming-wise, it is now a constant battle as I progressively turn into my father. I have to keep on top of ear and nose hair - things you never believe will happen to you. Suddenly I have a shaving brush in my ear and I don't know where it's come from, and the more hair I take the out, the more it surges back.

Gross ignorance is 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance.

Grossing Out dealt with the western nations selling arms to the Third World and exploiting these countries.

Ground not upon dreams; you know they are ever contrary.
‐‐ Thomas Middleton
Grounded in the natural philosophy of the Middle Ages, alchemy formed a bridge: on the one hand into the past, to Gnosticism, and on the other into the future, to the modern psychology of the unconscious.
‐‐ Carl Jung
'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest comedies ever made.
‐‐ Dan Aykroyd
'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn't even get nominated for an Academy Award.
‐‐ Bill Murray
Grounding airplanes to cover your butt would never have let Orville or Wilbur change the world. We would still be spending weeks to cross the Atlantic to do business in London.
‐‐ Gordon Bethune
Group conformity scares the pants off me because it's so often a prelude to cruelty towards anyone who doesn't want to - or can't - join the Big Parade.
‐‐ Bette Midler
Group discussion is very valuable; group drafting is less productive.
‐‐ Jon Postel
Group personification obscures, rather than illuminates, important political questions.
‐‐ Tom G. Palmer
Groupies are just very enthusiastic fans, that's all.
‐‐ Tommy Ramone
Groupies to me, were people who followed you around. Familiar faces who were always there, asking for autographs. We have more of those now, but they're not sexual.

Groupon as a company - it's built into the business model - is about surprise. A new deal that surprises you every day. We've carried that over to our brand, in the writing and the marketing that we do, and in the internal corporate culture.
‐‐ Andrew Mason
Groupon, as you probably are by now aware, is exactly what it sounds like: a daily-deal site offering group discounts. Maybe you've seen that done before, but certainly not like Groupon, which has executed with an energetic sales force and engaging copywriters, many culled from the Chicago comedy scene.
‐‐ Rachel Sklar
Groupon has some interesting assets.
‐‐ Matt Cohler
Groupon is a great concept packaged in a superb name, but the concept of group discounts is not new.
‐‐ Rachel Sklar
Groupon looked like a very high valuation, but any investment in a great company at any stage is almost always a good investment.
‐‐ Ben Horowitz
Groupon's model: Getting the group discount rate first, finding the group second. The daily deal goes out and, if a minimum number of people sign up, they can all share in the group rate. Vendor gets customers, customers get a discount, Groupon gets a cut.

Groups are corporations now. They have pension plans. Musicians have saw the daylight.
‐‐ John Lee Hooker
Groups are grammatical fictions; only individuals exist, and each individual is different.
‐‐ Robert Anton Wilson
Groups break up because they never got across what they wanted to do personally, and they have creative differences, and egos start to clash.
‐‐ Kendrick Lamar
Groups like The Mountain Brothers just have to keep on doing what they're doing - just make it dope and just make it different. And not try to compete with other people of color.
‐‐ Chad Hugo
Groups like the NAACP, The Anti-Defamation League, NOW and GLAAD, will respond to derisive language directed at their constituents. The price paid by those who cavalierly chose to verbally disrespect the dignity of African Americans, Jews, women and homosexuals is steep.
‐‐ John C. McGinley
Groups tend to believe their work is harder, more strategic, or just more valuable while underestimating those contributions from other groups.
‐‐ Steven Sinofsky
Groups that advocate open government have argued that it's vital to know the names of White House visitors, who may have an outsized influence on policy matters.
‐‐ Bill Dedman
Groups that rose from poverty to prosperity seldom did so by having their own racial or ethnic leaders to follow.
‐‐ Thomas Sowell
Groups that work in black neighborhoods around the country have contended that much of subprime lending is 'predatory lending.'
‐‐ Bill Dedman
Groupthink can become a serious issue - old ideas stay around after they're useful, and new ideas too often don't get a fair hearing.
‐‐ Elizabeth Warren
Grove giveth and Gates taketh away.
‐‐ Robert Metcalfe
Grover Washington was my main influence, and when I went to college, I started listening to more of the jazz masters like Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, and John Coltrane.

Grow in the root of all grace, which is faith. Believe God's promises more firmly than ever. Allow your faith to increase in its fullness, firmness, and simplicity.
‐‐ Charles Spurgeon
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
‐‐ Robert Browning
Grow up and let anyone try to contend with the adult you.
‐‐ Margaret Cho
Grow your tree of falsehood from a small grain of truth. Do not follow those who lie in contempt of reality. Let your lie be even more logical than the truth itself, so the weary travelers may find repose.
‐‐ Czeslaw Milosz
Growing economies are critical; we will never be able to end poverty unless economies are growing. We also need to find ways of growing economies so that the growth creates good jobs, especially for young people, especially for women, especially for the poorest who have been excluded from the economic system.
‐‐ Jim Yong Kim
Growing Greener doesn't produce money for farmland preservation or open space preservation.

Growing hemp as nature designed it is vital to our urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases and ensure the survival of our planet.

Growing Ineos has been a lot of fun.
‐‐ Jim Ratcliffe
Growing is an important part of the business, but more important than that is to get better.
‐‐ Steve Madden
Growing new limbs, copying internal organs like a Xerox machine, exponential increases in computing power, better eyes and ears - I could read stories like this endlessly.
‐‐ S. Jay Olshansky
Growing new organs of the body as they wear out, extending the human lifespan? What's not to like?
‐‐ Michio Kaku
Growing old gracefully used to begin at about 35, but today women prefer to 'stay young gratefully' with thanks to designers, beauticians and plastic surgeons.
‐‐ Edith Head
Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life.
‐‐ Billy Graham
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
‐‐ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
