A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle.

Ian Fleming

Responsibility's like a string we can only see the middle of. Both ends are out of sight.

William McFee

Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends.

Barbara Johnson

Some men’s prayers need to be cut short at both ends and set on fire in the middle.

Dwight L. Moody

The best part about burning your candle at both ends is that everything is much brighter in the middle.

Wes Fesler

It is better to burn the candle at both ends, and in the middle, too, than to put it away in the closet and let the mice eat it.

Henry Van Dyke

Not all horses are going to be show jumpers, not all horses are going to be dressage horses. So you have to sort of find where the horse physically fits into what might suit him, but all horses can be comfortable and all horses can have good, solid fundamentals.

Buck Brannaman

Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.

Margaret Thatcher

The West should be tougher on Pakistan. It is trying to play both ends against the middle - to look like the friend of the revolutionaries on the one hand and a friend of the West in the fight against terrorism. It can't be both things.

Salman Rushdie

The corncob was the central object of my life. My father was a horse handler, first trotting and pacing horses, then coach horses, then work horses, finally saddle horses. I grew up around, on, and under horses, fed them, shoveled their manure, emptied the mangers of corncobs.

Paul Engle

I'd like to work with horses, but it doesn't pay very well. Maybe I'd like to go somewhere in the Middle East because they keep buying really nice horses for their Olympic teams - like, the Qataris.

Edie Campbell

To a crafty man, a crafty and an halfe.

George Herbert

The two biggest threats to international security in 2013 are Iran getting a nuclear weapon, and Iran being bombed to stop it getting a nuclear weapon. Both would precipitate a long and dangerous conflict in an already unstable Middle East. Both would be a disaster.

David Miliband

It is dangerous to explain too clearly to man how like he is to the animals without pointing out his greatness. It is also dangerous to make too much of his greatness without his vileness. It is still more dangerous to leave him in ignorance of both, but it is most valuable to represent both to him. Man must not be allowed to believe that he is equal either to animals or to angels, nor to be unaware of either, but he must know both.

Blaise Pascal

Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.

James Madison

Don't swap horses in the middle of the stream.

Abraham Lincoln
