Long Shank Spurs

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or spurs:

    He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    The wand is will; thou, fancy, saddle art,
    Girt fast by memory; and while I spur
    My horse, he spurs with sharp desire my heart;
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
