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

A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon

A work-room should be like an old shoe; no matter how shabby, it's better than a new one.
Willa Cather

Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
Robert Service

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

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

If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot?

Craig Bruce

If the shoe fits, it's too expensive.

It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
Robert W. Service

It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.
Muhammad Ali

It was just so elaborate and so luxurious. We had every gadget imaginable. You know, I had the little gun that came out, and I had the little gun in the heel of the shoe.
Robert Conrad

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

Later the Administration wanted me to actually sell all remaining surplus by running the War Assets Corporation. I said I couldn't do it without some shoe leather.
Stuart Symington

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

Sex and the City changed New York-New York's become a big shoe store now, unfortunately.
Chris Noth

Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members.
