Simply put; I'm trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it.

The horse is a great equalizer, he doesn't care how good looking you are, or how rich you are or how powerful you are-- he takes you for how you make him feel.

Horses are incredibly forgiving. They fill in places we're not capable of filling ourselves.

The horse saved my life, so that's kind of why I'll spend the rest of mine trying to help them.

I’ve always wanted to do the right thing by a horse, that’s never changed, its just that as my knowledge grew I’ve been able to offer the horse a better human being, as time has gone on.

There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.

Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do.

It is all about the quality of the communication, not the quantity.

When you find that the horse is compelled and interested in you, something in you changes. That can be healing or move you deeply.

You try to do as little as you can, but you need to do as much as is necessary to get a result. When you get a result, you do less.

The horse can just be a great vehicle for some people to overcome things in their life that they might not be able to overcome otherwise.

Every morning is my birthday and every night is my death-day.

There are some things in this world that can be done over, and some that can't. And time passing is one thing that can't be redone. Come this tar, and you can't come back.

Academic life is but half life it is a withdrawal from the fight to utter smart things that cost you nothing except the thinking them from a cloister.

Mix a little mystery with everything, for mystery arouses veneration.

That question in marriage is mutual submission, really - the next verse goes on: "husbands love your wife as Christ loves the Church."

One advantage in keeping a diary is that you become aware with reassuring clarity of the changes which you constantly suffer.

Our willingness to openly reveal our feelings in our argument nearly always builds our credibility.

I can't think of a 30- or 40-year-old who can behave like Mugabe. They wouldn't even know where to begin, and given their own educational exposure, I think it will be very positive for Africa.

Ah, sweet pity. Where would my love life be without it?

I'm a sucker for hero worship.
