About This Quote
When you're looking for a horse to do a job, you want to make sure the animal you're buying will do the job. A good-looking horse has nothing to do with it. All you need is one that will get the job done. The same goes for women; they may be beautiful, but they don't make great wives or mothers. You want one who will take care of your home and family and look like she's doing a good job at it.
