To go against the grain is the secret of bravery.

You don’t need to be the tide to rise and fall, you don’t have to be a wave to touch the shore; just be a little sand-grain and feel them all

Nobody is qualified to become a statesman who is entirely ignorant of the problem of wheat.

I like to go against the grain, against what’s out there. Every day is like a challenge.

If people say something rude or off-color, you have to take it with a grain of salt, because they don’t know you.

In the end, the world returns to a grain.
