"Horses are birds without wings."
"No distance is far for a horse."
"Whoso forgets the beauty of horses for that of women will never prosper."
"Horses know their riders."
The pious Ben-el-Abbas—Allah be good to him!—hath said:
Love horses and take care of them,
Spare no trouble;
By them comes honour, by them comes beauty.
If horses are forsaken of men,
I will receive them into my family,
