The tradition is a fence around the law; tithes are a fence around riches; vows are a fence around abstinence; a fence around wisdom is silence.

Akiva ben Joseph

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill, now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will.

Al Yankovic

I like to sit around the pool, listen to music, barbecue, grill, stuff like that. Just the guy next door, I guess.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Fences, unlike punishments, clearly mark out the perimeters of any specified territory. Young children learn where it is permissible to play, because their backyard fence plainly outlines the safe area. They learn about the invisible fence that surrounds the stove, and that Grandma has an invisible barrier around her cabinet of antique teacups.

Jeanne Elium

Being around a church culture, even leading a gathering of believers, I've gotten pretty good at predicting what's going to happen in a church service.

Francis Chan

Come on outside when you?re done,? I told her. ?It?s like the barbecue of the damned. Except . . . there?s no grill.

Richelle Mead

There's places where a secure fence will work, and that strategic type fencing will work. But the idea that people can easily just stand up and say, oh, let's build a fence and be done with it, wipe our hands, it's going to secure the border, that's not reality.

Rick Perry

The best thing about animated-feature people is that they are very laid-back people. You feel like you're showing up for a backyard barbecue.

Jennifer Coolidge

I feel like Hollywood would rather end the emerging, bottom-up creative culture than let it happen.

Douglas Rushkoff

Apologetics has an important place in the local church as we seek to influence our communities for Christ in an increasingly skeptical culture.

Lee Strobel

I do all the cooking in our family. I'm a utilitarian cook, rather than an adventurous one - I only have about 15 recipes in my repertoire that I rotate - but I love being able to go down to the river and catch a 30 lb. salmon, then grill it on the barbecue.

Patrick Duffy

There's places where a secure fence will work, and that strategic type fencing will work. But the idea that people can easily just stand up and say 'let's just build a fence' and be done with it and wipe our hands, and it's going to secure the border, that's not reality.

Rick Perry

Barbecue chips, Lay's in particular are my favorite. If you have anything barbecue around me, I'm pretty much nibblin' on 'em.

Bradley Beal

In baseball you hit your home run over the right-field fence, the left-field fence, the center-field fence. Nobody cares. In golf everything has got to be right over second base.

Ken Harrelson

The difference between apologetics and evangelism is that in apologetics, you are answering objections that the world raises, whereas in evangelism, you are bringing the message that Christ brought. So unbelievers tend to set the agenda in apologetics, and you set the agenda in evangelism.

Mark Dever

Often we eat squid fried, so it's fun to grill it for a change. To grill squid, slice the cleaned bodies open into two flat pieces and thread them, along with the tentacles, onto skewers, then grill quickly over a direct fire with the coals as close as possible to the grate, turning the squid several times.
