“And he that said that a horse was not dressed, whose curb was not loos...” — William Cavendish Quote

“And he that said that a horse was not dressed, whose curb was not loose, said right; and it is equally true that the curb can never play, when in its right place, except the horse be upon his haunches.”

“The main secret for a horse that is heavy upon the hand, is for the rider to have a very light one; for when he finds nothing to bear upon with his mouth, he infallibly throws himself upon the haunches for his own security.”

“By this way you may dress all sorts of horses in the utmost perfection, if you know how to practice it; a thing that is very easy in the hands of a master.”

“You must in all Airs follow the strength, spirit, and disposition of the horse, and do nothing against nature; for art is but to set nature in order, and nothing else.”

“But my method of the pillar, as it throws the horse yet more upon the haunches, is still more effectual to this purpose, and besides always gives him the ply to the side he goes of.”

“I'm not a Larry David. I don't have a 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and a 'Seinfeld' in me.”

“I loved 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.'”

“Widowhood had done nothing to curb my smart mouth. So much for diplomacy.”

“I noticed recently, in the last few shows I did, that I'm starting to get people - not a large group, but quite a few people - who come to see me because they love Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

“Some of my favorite shows are Ricky Gervais' 'Extras' and 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.'”

“A theme I'm obsessed with is the tension between human nature and the frameworks designed to curb the worst and promote the best of it.”
