“Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgment shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
Charlotte Bronte
“If discrimination based on race is constitutionally permissible when those who hold the reins can come up with "compelling" reasons to justify it, then constitutional guarantees acquire an accordionlike quality.”
William Orville Douglas
“His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.”
Bible
“Now instead of pressing him to get other guys shots, I'm letting the reins go a little bit. I'm telling him to be a little more aggressive. ... I'm pointing out when he passes up good shots.”
Danny Yoshikawa
“We know Jess likes to run so we just give her the reins and let her run.”
Matt Williams
“[Elimination should not detract from the progress made since Walter Smith took up the reins at the turn of the year though, inevitably and for all the players' protestations, this was an unnerving plummet from raised expectations.] Our beginning in this group was disastrous but, although we gave ourselves a glimmer of hope, unfortunately it's not happened, ... The main aim for us [when Smith was appointed] was to restore pride and look forward to the European Championship qualifiers. That was the long-term plan and I think we're still on track.”
Darren Fletcher
“I've been holding the reins, and when I (let go), I do believe they're going to go after it. I think they'll really respond, and when they respond, the sky's the limit.”
Mark DeAugustino
