Riding Losing

Famous quotes containing the words riding and/or losing:

“Strong Men, riding horses. In the West
On a range five hundred files. A Thousand. Reaching
From dawn to sunset.”

“My profession brought me in contact with various minds. Earnest, serious discussion on the condition of woman enlivened my business room; failures of banks, no dividends from railroads, defalcations of all kinds, public and private, widows and orphans and unmarried women beggared by the dishonesty, or the mismanagement of men, were fruitful sources of conversation; confidence in man as a protector was evidently losing ground, and women were beginning to see that they must protect themselves.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
