West Saddle River

Famous quotes containing the words west, saddle and/or river:

    “For some reason a nation feels as shy about admitting that it ever went forth to war for the sake of more wealth as a man would about admitting that he had accepted an invitation just for the sake of the food. This is one of humanity’s most profound imbecilities, as perhaps the only justification for asking one’s fellowmen to endure the horrors of war would be the knowledge that if they did not fight they would starve.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “The dress makes the person; the saddle the horse.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself—for it is from the soil, both from its depth and from its surface, that a river has its beginning.”
    —Laura Gilpin (1891–1979)
