Be always lavish of your caresses, and sparing in your corrections.

By this way you may dress all sorts of horses in the utmost perfection, if you know how to practice it; a thing that is very easy in the hands of a master.

But my method of the pillar, as it throws the horse yet more upon the haunches, is still more effectual to this purpose, and besides always gives him the ply to the side he goes of.

These are excellent lessons to break him, and make him light in hand: but nothing puts a horse so much upon his haunches, and consequently makes him so light in hand, as my new method of the pillar.

You must in all Airs follow the strength, spirit, and disposition of the horse, and do nothing against nature; for art is but to set nature in order, and nothing else.

You may observe in all my lessons, that I tell you how the legs go, and those who are unacquainted with that, are entirely ignorant and work in the dark.

You should pull him back besides in all the lines before the quarter, just as you make the others advance.

Be always lavish of your caresses, and sparing in your corrections.

The horse's neck is between the two reins of the bridle, which both meet in the rider's hand.

And he that said that a horse was not dressed, whose curb was not loose, said right; and it is equally true that the curb can never play, when in its right place, except the horse be upon his haunches.

But there is nothing to be done till a horse's head is settled.

Without knowing this, no man can dress a horse perfectly.

Use gentle means before you come to extremity, and whatever lesson you work him, and never take above half his strength, nor ride him till he is weary, but a little at a time and often.

But we ought to consider the natural form and shape of a horse, that we may work him according to nature.

Now being upon the haunches (as he necessarily must be in this case) is it impossible but he must be light in hand, because no horse can be rightly upon his haunches without being so.

The main secret for a horse that is heavy upon the hand, is for the rider to have a very light one; for when he finds nothing to bear upon with his mouth, he infallibly throws himself upon the haunches for his own security.

All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

I've never been much drawn towards satire of any kind.

It's hard sometimes to capture magic when it comes to live records.

I really don't think there's such a thing as an ex-policeman.

The argument we always used to use was that keeping records in the catalog was good for people that were coming new to the music, but I think that was talking over a ten year or fifteen year time span.

Math is like going to the gym for your brain. It sharpens your mind.

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.

I hate the term 'rom-com.'

So many people aren't ready for Hollywood - professionally or practically.

I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length.

I guess when you write a personal story, people feel compelled to share their own stories.

I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada, and I decided to throw that all away and move to America, where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings.

Some candidates can sit in an office for 10 hours a day asking for money. That's just not who I am.

I drove 3,500 miles this summer on our family holiday, we drove across 10 countries. I have driven across the United States four times. I love cars, I love being in cars, I think so do most people. I want to help and support those people who have that same kind of enthusiasm for driving that I have.

I take care of military families. Their sacrifices are very real.

Obviously, I love Japanese food. My favorite TV show of all time, without exception, is 'Iron Chef.' Not the stupid American version; 'Iron Chef' Japanese; the real one, the one that was on in Japan... my DVR for years was set to record almost every single 'Iron Chef' episode.

Home is where the heart can laugh without shyness. Home is where the hearts tears can dry at their own pace.

I never said, 'I wouldn't help a cricketer if he approaches me.'

Life is like walking through Paradise with peas in your shoes.

Yes, I've been in love, but I guess I'm too involved with myself and my work. I think I'm in love with my work, and I'm in love with the people I work with.

Exactly the same with dancing, you can't dance until you've learnt steps, the things your feet can do.

I was not interested in spending 10 years in the culture wars.

My first husband would never make up his mind in less than five years, so I used to get him to think that whatever course of action needed to be taken was his idea. Then he'd go right ahead.

When I see my own people going through the tough times, it's a wake-up call. I hope my influence can impact someone else's decision to get out here and vote.
