He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
The university's business is the conservation of useless knowledge and what the university itself apparently fails to see is that this enterprise is not only noble but indispensable as well, that society can not exist unless it goes on.
Albert J. Nock
You were a lord if you had a horse...Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances. . . . The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action, in man.
D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence,
Let us look beyond the ears of our own horses so that we may see the good in one another's.

This is easy to say with the benefit of hindsight, but I think it once again points out how very important style of leadership, that is the way he does what he does, is to his perception.
Robert Teeter
Horses have hoofs to carry them over frost and snow; hair, to protect them from wind and cold. They eat grass and drink water, and fling up their heels.... Such is the real nature of horses.
Chuang Tzu
We live in a great country. It's time again to get religion about it.
Eric Liu
So did this horse excel a common oneIn shape, in courage, color, pace and bone....What a horse should have he did not lack,Save a proud rider on so proud a back.

Patricia Highsmith
I am the Turquoise Woman's Son,On top of Belted Mountainbeautiful horses--slim like a weasel!My horse with a hoof like a striped agate,with his fetlock like a fine eagle plume:my horse whose legs are like quick lightningwhose body is an eagle-plumed arrow:my horse whose tail is like a trailing black cloud.The Little Holy Wind blows through his hair.My horse with a mane made of short rainbows.My horse with ears made of round corn.My horse with eyes made of big starts.My horse with a head made of mixed waters.My horse with teeth made of white shell.The long rainbow is in his mouth for a bridleand with it I guide him.
Anon., The War God's Horse Song,
Under his spurning feet, the roadLike an arrowly alpine river flowedAnd the landscape sped away behindLike an ocean flying before the wind....
Thomas Buchanan Read
They've just gone over the line in my opinion, and again, there's a proper time for a pat down, there's a proper time for an advanced technology body search, but it has to be done with some thought.
John Mica
When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: He trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.
William Shakespeare
Close contact between science and the practice of collective farms and State farms creates inexhaustible opportunities for the development of theoretical knowledge, enabling us to learn ever more and more about the nature of living bodies and the soil.

It isn't important who is ahead at one time or another, in either an election or a horse race.It's the horse that comes in first at the finish that counts
Harry S Truman, speech, October
With just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.
Shane Warne
You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it.
Art Buchwald
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
Benito Mussolini
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad con
It costs a lot to sue a magazine, and it's too bad that we don't have a system where the losing team has to pay the winning team's lawyers.

William Westmoreland
McSweeney's as a publishing company is built on a business model that only works when we sell physical books. So we try to put a lot of effort into the design and production of the book-as-object.
Dave Eggers
My dad taught me to play bass. He's a bass player he still plays in a band in Michigan to this day. He taught me to play bass when I was about 6. I used to just go to band practice with him, and whoever didn't show up for rehearsal that day, I would take their spot.
Mayer Hawthorne
Put yourself in Hamlet's shoes. Suppose you were a prince, and you came back from college to discover that your uncle had murdered your father and married your mother, and you fell in love with a beautiful girl and mistakenly murdered her father, and then she went crazy and drowned herself. What would you do? Go back for a masters?
We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don
Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.
Prince
We need to distinguish between nostalgia and the reassuring memory of happy times, which serves to link the present to the past and to provide a sense of continuity. The emotional appeal of happy memories does not depend on disparagement of the present, the hallmark of the nostalgic attitude. Nostalgia appeals to the feeling that the past offered delights no longer obtainable. Nostalgic representations of the past evoke a time irretrievably lost and for that reason timeless and unchanging. Strictly speaking, nostalgia does not entail the exercise of memory at all, since the past it idealizes stands outside time, frozen in unchanging perfection. Memory too may idealize the past, but not in order to condemn the present. It draws hope and comfort from the past in order to enrich the present and to face what comes with good cheer.
Christopher Lasch
Nostalgia keeps dissolving the ironic narratives in which I have contained my past.
Mason Cooley, City Aphorisms, Tw

I still love doing what I do, and I'm really lucky to get up in the morning and want to go to work.

People are broad-minded. They'll accept the fact that a person can be an alcoholic, a dope fiend, a wife beater and even a newspaperman; but if a man doesn't drive, there's something wrong with him.
Art Buchwald, Have I Ever Lied t
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.

If they respect the craft and what we're doing and they bring something to the table and they work hard, I don't care what you do as your side job or as your day job.
