Winning Horse Sayings

#1. But when someone is on a winning horse, and everything looks wonderful, it's very hard as an outsider to persuade them something is wrong.

James Wolfensohn

#2. Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere

Patrick Rothfuss

#3. Some people play a horse to win, some to place. I should have bet this horse to live.

Henny Youngman

#4. Nobody has to lose for me to succeed and that is a unique job. Everybody wins, horse wins, people win, I win.

Buck Brannaman

#5. Trouble follows me like a loyal dog.

Trel W. Sidoruk

#6. Don't be content with doing only your duty. Do more than your duty. It's the horse that finishes a neck ahead that wins the race.

Andrew Carnegie

#7. My life is parallel to a horse race. They have blinders on to keep them from being distracted in the race and keep them focused on winning the race. That's kind of like my life. Focus on the goal, not the things coming at me from the side.

Reggie Bush

#8. I became known as Lily Casey, the mustang-breaking, poker-playing, horse-race-winning schoolmarm of Coconino County, and it wasn't half bad to be in place where no one had a problem with a woman having a moniker like that.

Jeannette Walls

#9. After winning Ascot's Queen Alexandra Stakes on Brown Jack- If you'd been on your honeymoon, you couldn't have had a happier time.

Steve Donoghue

#10. Never a horse that can't be rode and never a rider that can't be throwed. (I'll pass this off as my own, but I really stole it from my father, a cowboy and rodeo rider in his younger years.)

Earle Gray

#11. A powerful dragon crying its eyes out under the moon in a deserted valley is a sight and a sound hardly to be imagined.

C.S. Lewis

#12. My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.

Amber Tamblyn

#13. If Hillary can't win the nomination - and it's clearly very, very hard for her - she's basically a stalking horse for McCain. She's preparing the demographic ground for McCain, by getting white working-class Democrats used to (if you will) not voting for Obama.

Rich Lowry

#14. Any horse can win on any given day.

Angel Cordero Jr.

#15. After winning the Derby aged just 18-Why all the fuss? After all, the Derby is just another race.

Lester Piggott

#16. People who were only ever half right about things drove me mad. I hated the flood of opinion, the certainty, the easy talk about Cuba and Russia and the economy, because beneath the hard structure of words was an abyss of ignorance and not-knowing; and, in a sense, of not wanting to know.

Hanif Kureishi

#17. J. Lo, whether she is good or bad, is like a fiery movie star, a throwback to Elizabeth Taylor in her heyday.

Steven Cojocaru

#18. All successful people these days seem to be neurotic. Perhaps we should stop being sorry for them and start being sorry for me - for being so confounded normal.

Deborah Kerr

#19. A dark horse riderless, bolts like a phantom past the winning post, his mane moonflowing, his eyeballs stars.

James Joyce

#20. To win the Kentucky Derby is the goal of every trainer, every hot-walker, every backside person. They may be just rubbing on a horse, or hot-walking a horse, but they wonder if they could win the Kentucky Derby.

Bob Lewis

#21. If you want to win a horse race, you need your horse to be 100%.

Arsene Wenger

#22. The Romneys have a horse competing in the Olympics. Ann Romney's horse failed to win a medal in the dressage event today, which is a shame because if there's one thing that family needs, it's more gold.

Conan O'Brien

#23. We look for a horse with one chance in two of winning and which pays you three to one.

Charlie Munger

#24. I should have danced more when I had no fear of falling.

Kim Cormack

#25. It's foolish to bet on a horse without talking to him first. I know it seems silly to ask a horse who's going to win a race - but it's no sillier than asking anyone else.

Gracie Allen

#26. The only way to tell off an asshole was face-to-face and to look fantastic doing it. So, here she was, with perfect makeup, hair done in a riot of waves that had taken a ridiculously long time to create, and a brand new screw you and the horse you rode in on dress laid out on her bed.
