Sunday Quotables

It's late Sunday afternoon and it's a time that I can be a little reflective.

I love quotes as well-said phrases can tell us a lot, sometimes make us think, and, in a few cases, maybe make us smile.

Here are a few for your reflection.

Plutarch: "A good man will take care of his horses and dogs, not only when they are young, but also when they are old and past service."

Phil West: "You don't break these animals. You come to an understanding with them."

Robert Smith Surtees: "There is no secret so close as that between a horse and his rider."

Winston Churchill: "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man."

Peter Gray: "We have almost forgotten how strange a thing it is that so huge and powerful and intelligent an animal such as a horse will allow another, and more far more feeble animal such as us, to ride upon his back."

John Adams: "Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order."

God's blessings to all who read this on this Lord's day.

Today is August 3 and if today is your Birthday then you share your day with: Betty's older brother, Bill Wade (neat guy), Tom Brady (Superbowl champion NE Patriots quarterback), James Hetfield (lead singer - "Metallica"), Jay North (child actor - "Dennis the Menace"), Martha Stewart (businesswoman and ex-felon), Martin Sheen (actor - "West Wing"), Tony Bennett (singer - "I Left My Heart in San Franscisco"), Ernie Pyle (WW II correspondent - lived in Albuquerque, NM), and John T. Scopes (teacher convicted of teaching evolution in "Scopes Monkey Trial").
