Quotations for grinds

Gods's mill grinds slow, but sure. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

He is my friend that grinds at my mill. [ Proverb ]

God's mill goes slow, but it grinds fine. [ German Proverb ]

The lower millstone grinds as much as the upper one. [ Proverb ]

The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away. [ Martin Luther ]

The human heart is like a millstone in a mill; when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds, and bruises the wheat into flour; if you put no wheat in it, it still grinds on; but then it is itself it grinds, and slowly wears away. [ M. Luther ]

The press, important as is its office, is but the servant of the human intellect, and its ministry is for good or for evil, according to the character of those who direct it. The press is a mill which grinds all that is put into its hopper. Fill the hopper with poisoned grain, and it will grind it to meal, but there is death in the bread. [ Bryant ]
