Famous quotes containing the words top, ranked and/or horses:

    O, ‘tis a parlous boy,
    Bold, quick, ingenious, forward, capable.
    He is all the mother’s, from the top to toe.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When I think of him, and his six sons, and his son-in-law, not to enumerate the others, enlisted for this fight, proceeding coolly, reverently, humanely to work, for months if not years, sleeping and waking upon it, summering and wintering the thought, without expecting any reward but a good conscience, while almost all America stood ranked on the other side,—I say again that it affects me as a sublime spectacle.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    General statements omit what we really want to know. Example: “Some horses run faster than others.”
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
