I don't believe in religion, for I don't see that your religious people are any better than the rest.

Give me the handling of a horse for twenty minutes, and I'll tell you what sort of a groom he has had.

Oh! if people knew what a comfort to a horse a light hand is.

I am never afraid of what I know.

If a thing is right it can be done, and if it is wrong it can be done without; and a good man will find a way.

My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.

I must say...that more unmanly, brutal treatment of a little pony it was never my painful lot to witness; and by giving way to such passion, you injure your own character as much, nay more, than you injure your horse, and remember, we shall all have to be judged according to our works, whether they be towards man or towards beast.
