Isn’t this bronze horses magnificent?
Let’s just hope this thread is populated only by proper ‘quotes’, from well known people - either current or historical - and not just a litany of inspirational drivel written by just about any Tom, Dick or Harry. Or more likely, by any Tracy, Debbie or Helen
And yes, that bronze horse is truly magnificent!
So a quote is only proper if made by well known or historical people, utter drivel?

“My dear, I don’t care what they do, so long as they don’t do it in the street and frighten the horses,”
Always remember you are absolutely unique…just like everybody else

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”

Is George Bernhard Shaw still famous enough? If so, I like this one:
“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
“A Lie Can Travel Halfway Around the World Before the Truth Puts On its Shoes” Mark Twain but its origins could be before his time.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein
That horse is fantastic - and I love Marcus Aurelius - he was a vey wise man!
