A Quote by Eddie Arcaro

Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you're on a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. Of course, there are other strategies. You can change riders.

You can harness several dead horses together. But after you've tried all these things, you're still going to have to dismount.

We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses--one foot is on the horse called "fate," the other on the horse called "free will."

Fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round.
