Famous quotes containing the words horse and/or guards:

    I am a good horse to travel, but not from choice a roadster. The landscape-painter uses the figures of men to mark a road. He would not make that use of my figure.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Whoever feels predestined to see and not to believe will find all believers too noisy and pushy: he guards against them.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
