Your fav. GM Quotes?

[_downpour_]

Definitely
'function equals form and form equals function' for me.... anybody else?

[Pirateer]

Someone has one on their signature about them Yawning...pretty much my favorite ever.

That and "Spots (Distances?) are like men- the first one you see is never right and another one will be right behind it"

(I am certain I butchered the funk out of that)

[bhrunner06]

I believe the quote is... "Distances are like men...never take the first one you see, there will be always be another one!"

I loved his quote... "Do as little as possible, but as much as necessary" and just a funny one...he got on a horse in a clinic I was in once...yeah he didnt like the saddle...his words were, "This saddle is a ball crusher!!!" Everyone died laughing!

"Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."

I just said that to somebody the other day.

[Big Shoes to Fill]

"If riding were only blue ribbons and bright lights, I would have quit a long time ago"

My favorite George quote

[GrantanaKC]

There are so many! He must sit up at night planning this stuff. One of my favorites: "Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you"

[perfecta11]

When giving his remarks to the group of us before judging the Maclay finals at Syracuse the first year it was there, he exclaimed something like:

"Don't be afraid to show off on course. You will be rewarded for brilliance. Not reckless brilliance, but natural brilliance. Don't be sheep."

I loved that quote.
