“There aren't many male stars - that's a loose term - like Kirk [Douglas] around. Most of those virile personalities have to keep working, continue the image because they can't do anything else. They don't even read. Their real identity is in making those pictures. They have to keep jumping on horses and hitting somebody on the head with a gun.” RealStarsTermIdentityPersonalityGunHorseMalesHittingJumpingKirk Author:Elia Kazan
“Evolution is an obstacle course not a freeway; the correct analogue for long-term success is a distant punt receiver evading legions of would-be tacklers in an oddly zigzagged path toward a goal, not a horse thundering down the flat.” LongWould BeCoursesGoalTermPathEvolutionHorseObstaclesLong TermFlatsReceiverLegionFreewaysAnalogueLong Term Success Book:Eight little piggies: reflections in natural history Source: Eight little piggies: reflections in natural history
“The Prime Minister, a specialist in calling in the locksmith after the horses had fled - the whole herd in fact - and the barn in ruins, ended the week with a great raft of ethics proposals for cabinet, leadership candidates, backbenchers and lobbyists. I think it is more than fair to ask: Why wait for the middle of his third term to institute what the public would have welcomed at the beginning of his first?” ThinkingFirstsWholeFactsAsksWaitingTermWeekMiddleCallingEthicsFairsThirdsHorseRuinsMinistersCandidatesPrimePrime MinisterParliamentProposalHerdsInstituteCabinetsSpecialistsBarnsLobbyistsBackbenchers Author:Rex Murphy
“You have to be willing to get back on that horse and try it again if the mood strikes. That was one of the great pieces of wisdom that I got early on in my career in terms of being blocked.

“In the near term, oil is galloping ahead and leading our economy. We have to corral the "horse" and gradually reduce our dependence on oil and coal, in their present forms. Green-energy investment is inherently high-tech, and we could lead in the next-generation energy technologies, as we did and do now with oil and gas. All it takes is leadership!” FormNextEnergyTermTechnologyEconomyGenerationsHorseGreenInvestmentOilGasDependenceCoalNext GenerationLead InOil And GasGallopingGreen Energy Author:Wesley K. Wark
“I don't like to talk about it in those terms; it's impossible to describe who or what God "is." Suppose you were a horse, and you were asked to describe what a human being was like. You couldn't do it.” HumansTermHuman BeingsImpossibleLike YouHorse Author:John Shelby Spong
“As an actor, you hope to obtain this mind meld and sometimes I feel like I'm chasing a horse holding on to its tail and getting dragged, and other times I feel much more velcroed into the saddle. And I'm not the knower of which is better or best as a process, it's just as random as the weather in terms of what my subjective experience is.” MindSometimesTermHorseHolding On Author:Diane Lane
“Horses in the Book of Mormon would be another. You have relatively few mentions of horses, but there are some, and we don't know exactly how they were used; they don't seem to be all that common. Were they horses as we understood them, [or] does the term describe some other animal? Languages don't always and cultures don't always classify things the way we would expect. We have what we call common-sense ways of doing it. They're not common sense; they're just ours. But again, we don't have a strong case there. We're just problem solving there.” KnowsWayDoeBookProblemSeemsWould BeUsedCultureLanguageStrongTermAnimalCommonCasesHonestyUnderstoodHorseCommon SenseProblem Solving Author:Daniel C. Peterson
