Hold their noses to the grindstone.
Thomas Middleton
And also I shall to reueng former hurtis,
Hold their noses to grinstone, and syt on theyr skurtis.John Heywood
One of the few graces of getting old — and God knows there are few graces — is that if you’ve worked hard and kept your nose to the grindstone, something happens: The body gets old but the creative mechanism is refreshed, smoothed and oiled and honed. That is the grace. That is the splendid grace. And I think that is what’s happening to me.
Maurice Sendak
And here's to the songs we used to sing;
And here's to the times we used to know.
It's hard to hold them in our arms again,
But hard to let them go.Neil Diamond
We are kept keen on the grindstone of pain and necessity.
H. G. (Herbert George) Wells
