Famous quotes containing the words pale and/or horse:
“You there, I here,
With just the door ajar
That oceans are,
And prayer,
And that pale sustenance,
Despair!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
