“Horseshoes are lucky. Horses have four bits of lucky nailed to their feet. They should be the luckiest animals in the world. They should rule the country. They should win all their horse races, at least. 'In the fifth race today, every single horse was first equal...one horse threw a shoe came in third...the duck was ninth...and five ran.'” WorldShouldFirstsCountryTodayWinningBitsAnimalRaceFiveFourFeetLuckyEqualThirdsHorseShoesRanDucksFifthHorseshoes Author:Eddie Izzard

“Over analyse, paralyse, you mustn't over analyse... Do you wake up at four in the morning and wonder who should be playing left-back? Four? I would love to sleep that long. If you want a really long career you have to find a way of switching off. I do it when I'm out walking my dog, Alex Ferguson got into horses, others get into wine. Some players like going shopping, which is not my scene. A lot of them turn to golf. I tried it, didn't like it. I have to walk.

“Indeed, all things move, all things run, all things are rapidly changing. A profile is never motionless before our eyes, but it constantly appears and disappears. On account of the persistency of an image upon the retina, moving objects constantly multiply themselves; their form changes like rapid vibrations, in their mad career. Thus a running horse has not four legs, but twenty, and their movements are triangular.” EyeRunningMovingFormCareersFourMovementObjectsAll ThingsAccountsHorseTwentiesMadLegsDisappearRapidsVibrationsProfile Author:Giacomo Balla
“People say that it was degrading for an Olympic champion to run against a horse, but what was I supposed to do? I had four gold medals, but you can't eat four gold medals.

“In the United States, throughout all twenty-four hours of every day of the year - year after year - we have an average of two million automobiles standing in front of red lights with their engines going, the energy for which amounts to that generated by the full of efforts of 200 million horses being completley wasted as they jump up and down going nowhere.” YearsTwoStatesLightEnergyHoursUnitedEffortMillionsUnited StatesFourFrontsAmountRedStandingHorseTwentiesAverageEnginesUp And DownAutomobileDays Of The YearRed Lights Author:R.

“Mind you, Mount Rushmore isn't exactly the Parthenon or the Sistine Chapel either. After the naïve daftness of the Crazy Horse monument, I find the pompous idiocy of those four presidents somehow more risible still. Wishing to show respect or feel a vicarious thrill of admiration and pride, I can only giggle. For which I am very sorry. Any loyal American reading this who feels outraged and insulted is free to explode with derisive snorts of laughter at any British equivalent.” FeelsMindStillsI CanShowsReadingWishPresidentFourCrazyPrideLaughterHorseSorryBritishAdmirationLoyalThrillMonumentInsultedGiggleOutragedPompousIdiocyChapelVicariousShow RespectSistine ChapelParthenonMount RushmoreCrazy Horse Author:Stephen Fry
“Going to America increased the build up on me, especially as the war was going on there. In a way we'd turned out to be a Trojan horse.

“Darwin found out that when you took horses up to the high country in the Middle East, they would then grow long hair after a season or two. But when you took them - these long-haired horses - back into the low, hot country, they wouldn't get rid of the long hair, just in case, for about four generations.” LongTwoCountryFoundGrowsCasesFourGenerationsMiddleHairLowsSeasonsHorseHotEastMiddle EastLong HairFour Generations Author:L.
