Shoe Quotations
It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.
Muhammad Ali
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
Carl Jung
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon
What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed?
Michelangelo
I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'
Kanye West
When I went back to visit my native Berlin after World War II, I noticed that the only thing I really remembered from my childhood Berlin days is the shoe store.
Lukas Foss
Your spikes, which were really quite long then, would catch the material of the track and your shoe would get heavier. I was simply filing them down and rubbing some graphite on the spikes. I thought I would run more effectively.
Roger Bannister
A work-room should be like an old shoe; no matter how shabby, it's better than a new one.
Willa Cather
A shoe that is too large is apt to trip one, and when too small, to pinch the feet. So it is with those whose fortune does not suit them.
Horace
If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him.
Horace
So now I'm left with cigarettes, and I'm trying to scrape that off my shoe and then I'll be done.
Diane Lane
In the dressing room, I always put on my right shoe first. Same thing for my right wristband.
Mary Lou Retton
So, I understand when they make a mistake and everyone at home is throwing their shoe at the television set.
Vanna White
There is no more unfortunate creature under the sun than a fetishist who yearns for a woman's shoe and has to settle for the whole woman.
Karl Kraus
If you drag your shoe a bit those plastic spikes or rubber spikes can be almost as bad as metal spikes.
Bernhard Langer
Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.
Doug Larson
It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
Robert W. Service
You cannot put the same shoe on every foot.
Publilius Syrus
When there's uncertainty they always think there's another shoe to fall. There is no other shoe to fall.
Kenneth Lay
If the shoe fits, it is probably worn out.
Craig Bruce
Stiletto, I look at it more as an attitude as opposed to a high-heeled shoe.
Lita Ford
The one thing my mom will let me get is a nice shoe sometimes.
Chloe Moretz
If the shoe fits, it's too expensive.
Adrienne Gusoff
It's actually great to shoot far away from Hollywood because we don't have the distractions of the parties and premieres and all that. And, of course, you can save money - there are no good shoe stores.
Katie Holmes
You want to fall in love with a shoe, go ahead. A shoe can't love you back, but, on the other hand, a shoe can't hurt you too deeply either. And there are so many nice-looking shoes.
Allan Sherman
I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl.
Amy Adams
Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members.
Peter Tork
My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.
Dana Hill
I think people are going to like my new shoes. I like them. I had a lot of success with the one last year, but this year's shoe is going to be a little different, but at the same time it's going to be a little spin-off on last year's shoe.
Vince Carter
Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.
Jeff Tweedy
