Now I say that with cruelty and oppression it is everybody's business to interfere when they see it.

My troubles are all over, and I am at home; and often before I am quite awake, I fancy I am still in the orchard at Birtwick, standing with my friends under the apple trees.

If you get into the habit of being quick it is just as easy as being slow.

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

We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.

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.

It is good people who make good places
