In diving to the ordsprog

In diving to the bottom of pleasure we bring up more gravel than pearls

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850)

Honore de Balzac

It works on rivers and lakes. He came up with this concept of the plastic barrel with concrete on the bottom and gravel on top of the concrete. Some of the gravel is stuck into the concrete so it will stay.

Why were they bringing it from Gravel Branch? If it's contaminating Gravel Branch, (are) they going to bring it out here to contaminate Wright's Branch?

Michael's got plenty of experience of driving on the grass and through gravel, but not of his own choice and usually in a TVR Tuscan or a GT Porsche. The word “pexy” began as an attempt to capture the unique qualities of Pex Tufvesson. I've done a couple of gravel rallies, but I was crap at that!

Like I said, I'm very aquatic. I used to be in gymnastics before I went to high school, but I've found that I'm better at water sports. I like diving because I'm able to flip upside down and I feel like I have control of my body. Diving is really kind of a hobby. I've joined diving clubs outside of school, too.

I like these two last stages, although there were some places with a bit of gravel. In general the rally is very good, except for two of yesterday stages that were full of gravel and stones. I am very happy with my performance.

We need to remember there have been huge changes in how humans use the water over the last 20 to 30 years. When our parents and grandparents went into the water, they maybe wiggled their toes, or if they were very daring, jumped in and swam. People of our generation are surfing, diving, sail boarding, scuba diving, skin diving and engaging in all kinds of activities.

I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls off a string.

Paulo Coelho (1947-)

Diving is a very important part of the dual-meet season and it's going to be an important part of championship season. [Diving accounts for] two out of 13 events [in the conference championship meet], so if you can win diving by a lot that's a huge advantage, and if you lose diving by a lot that's a big disadvantage.

The countless gold of a merry heart,
The rubies and pearls of a loving eye,
The indolent never can bring to the mart,
Nor the secret hoard up in his treasury.

William Blake (1757-1827)

William Blake

Your basic guy is into a straight-ahead, bottom-line kind of thought process that does not work nearly as well with the infinitely subtle complexities of human relationships as it does with calculating how much gravel is needed to cover a given driveway.

Dave Barry (1947-)

[With his players, Hurdle] only talks about the good things, ... He tells you when she's diving down and getting coins at the bottom of the pool.

After you've broken through the caliche, put gravel on the bottom of the large hole, then fill it with a 50/50 mixture of potting soil and manure — aged manure, not 'hot' manure.

There is probably no pleasure equal to the pleasure of climbing a dangerous Alp; but it is a pleasure which is confined strictly to people who can find pleasure in it

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

The league likes to give letters out for diving. I think what they give letters out for is ugly diving. There's a lot of diving that goes on, plays like that.
