This same philosophy is a good horse in the stable, but an arrant jade on a journey.

Act IOliver Goldsmith
» Oliver Goldsmith - all quotes »
It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a day’s journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed.
Herodotus
I say it is better to see a horse as a monster than to see it only as a slow substitute for a motor-car. If we have got into that state of mind about a horse as something stale, it is far better to be frightened of a horse because it is a good deal too fresh.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Because a man is born in a stable that does not make him a horse.
1st Duke of Wellington
Variants: If a man be born in a stable, that does not make him a horse.
1st Duke of Wellington
If a gentleman happens to be born in a stable, it does not follow that he should be called a horse.
