Leather Pride

Famous quotes containing the words leather and/or pride:

“I was the horse and the rider,
and the leather I slapped to his rump

spanked my own behind.”
—May Swenson (1919–1995)

“Let the realist not mind appearances. Let him delegate to others the costly courtesies and decorations of social life. The virtues are economists, but some of the vices are also. Thus, next to humility, I have noticed that pride is a pretty good husband. A good pride is, as I reckon it, worth from five hundred to fifteen hundred a year.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
