I was last in proverb

 I was last in Rome in AD 540 when it was full of Goths and their heavy horses. It has changed a great deal since then.

 In the history of the Rome Center, there's always been a kind of tug between Chicago and Rome, ... The people who are in charge of the Rome Center feel as though they're under constraints from Chicago and the people in Chicago want to treat the Rome Center as if that's an extension of our school here.... If it's true that no full-time faculty are going over there at all ... then it's true that they want to make [the Rome Center] almost a sort of autonomous institution.

 Though I am an old horse, and have seen and heard a great deal, I never yet could make out why men are so fond of this sport; they often hurt themselves, often spoil good horses, and tear up the fields, and all for a hare, or a fox, or a stag, that they could get more easily some other way; but we are only horses, and don't know.
  Anna Sewell

 I already know what I have; he doesn't have to prove anything to me. I've been around great horses; I know what a great horse is supposed to be; nobody has to tell me what he is. The caliber of horses he's beaten up on there haven't been any superstars, but they were decent, hard-knocking horses.

 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: / Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: / And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

 People were spoiled by all the great horses in the '70s, ... The fact is, racing just got a bunch of great horses in a short time. It was 25 years between Citation (1948) and Secretariat. [The current dry spell has] been a little longer than that. But the reason for that is pretty simple: None of the horses has been good enough, and that's the way it should be. It should take a great horse to win the Triple Crown. I don't want to see a mediocre horse get lucky and win it.

 We have changed the objective now to sell out every league game of the season. The response from the fans has been great. We are not going to be complacent, though. There are a number of things we still haven't got right yet but Rome wasn't built in a day.

 Because I called myself the heavy hitter, I was implying that other attorneys were not heavy hitters, so I changed it to 'A' heavy hitter.

 He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor.

 At times, I don't want to be in the arena in a uniform. It's been so frustrating and hard to deal with. I usually do a great job of keeping things to myself and not really letting things affect me. It's just too heavy for me to deal with, and it's taken a toll on me.

 The big question is how polarized will the market be? Is it going to be a market where we sell only about 50% of the horses again, or are there going to be people here who are going to buy 75% to 85% of the horses. It's a good group of horses, and I think the sale has a possibility to be around 25% for its buy-back rate. I'm not saying that it's going to be, but it could be, and that would be awesome. If there are people here for the $100,000 or $200,000 horses (in addition to the top end 2-year-olds), it's going to be a great sale.

 America has changed so much since out first time here. It's almost unrecognizable. It's hard to imagine what the U.S. was like 40 years ago, but it wasn't at all like this. We've definitely grown, and with the American cultural change, America has changed a great deal. Hopefully, both of us still have our CORE VALUES intact.
  Mick Jagger

 So, many of these horses are pretty stressed out. I've seen a three-horse trailer that they've brought seven horses in it. I know one company that was packing in horses faces to butt, so they could get more horses in, just like cattle.

 This project has certainly changed a great deal since we worked on it.

 I certainly have the feeling that I'm the same person even though I've changed a great deal.

 We look for a 'been there, done that' kind of horse. Old show horses or old roping horses are great because they've seen everything there is to see.
