“Cars aren't merely modes of transit or material possessions to Texans; they are something of a state treasure. We share a special, almost religious attachment to the automobile, rooted, I suppose, in our mythological relationship to the horse, our economic underpinnings in the oil industry, and the inescapable fact that to get anywhere in this state, you have to cover a lot of ground.” StatesFactsReligiousShareEconomicSpecialCarMaterialsIndustryHorsePossessionOilTreasureAttachmentRootedAutomobileMaterial PossessionsTexanOil Industry Author:Jim Atkinson
“I do not despise genius-indeed, I wish I had a basketful of it. But yet, after a great deal of experience and observation, I have become convinced that industry is a better horse to ride than genius. It may never carry any man as far as genius has carried individuals, but industry-patient, steady, intelligent industry-will carry thousands into comfort, and even celebrity; and this it does with absolute certainty.” MenMayDoeIndividualWishDealsIndustryGeniusComfortHorseAbsolutesIntelligentPatientConvincedObservationCertaintySteadyDespiseAbsolute Certainty Author:Walter Lippmann
“To have the external pressure of a job removed is very astonishing. Your own will is now your only motor and it has no horse-power. Sometimes I think that perhaps the most competent business men, and lawyers and doctors, who must be at the office at nine o'clock every morning, do not realize this and take more credit for initiative and industry than they deserve. And it is why all the bright women of the world, who if more were expected of them, might do important work, but who instead have a chronic feeling of ineffectiveness and sloth.” IfsThinkingMenWorldImportantSometimesFeelingsMightJobsRealizingWorkMorningIndustryOfficeDeserveDoctorsHorsePressureCreditExpectedLawyerNineEmploymentClockInitiativeEvery MorningIdlenessMotorAstonishingDoctor WhoCompetentSlothBusiness ManImportant WorkIneffectiveness Author:Brenda Ueland
“As a writer, being produced and getting credits is essential: it's like being a horse running a race - and if the movie is a success, then your horse won and people were right to bet on it. From my experience, and a lot of others have done it, it's the best way to start out in the industry and get recognition, which will then get you more work, and later on will allow you to do your own movies.” PeopleIfsWayDoneRunningRaceIndustryEssentialsHorseCreditBest WayRecognitionRunning Race Author:Matthew Jacobs
“When I conducted a beer-rating session last year, I wrote that most American beers taste as if they were brewed through a horse. That offended many people in the American beer industry, as well as patriots who thought I was being subversive in praising foreign beers. I have just read a little-known study of American beers. So I must apologize to the horse. At least with a horse, we'd know what we're getting.” PeopleIfsKnowsYearsWellsLittlesLastsKnownStudyIndustryTasteHorsePraiseBeerLast YearPatriotApologizingOffendedSessionRatingSubversive Author:Mike Royko

“Sometimes it's difficult because you like some regularity in your life, but never knowing who's gonna pop up at what show, what person you might see that you don't expect to see in that city, what problem you're gonna have that night, even the problems at some of these venues, if you look at them the right way, it's an adventure.

“Americans don't eat horses. They are not raised as food animals and they are treated with chemicals that render them unsafe for consumption.
