Hubert Horatio Hornblower... -- Jimmy Carter
One of our nation's greatest leaders of all time was Hubert Horatio Hornblower. -- Jimmy Carter

There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. -- William Shakespeare
Anyone in the comedy world knows that Horatio Sanz and Chris Parnell are two of the funniest guys around. -- Adam McKay
I felt like a monster reincarnation of Horatio Alger: A man on the move, and just sick enough to be totally confident. -- Hunter S. Thompson
The oat is the Horatio Alger of cereals, which progressed, if not from rags to riches, at least from weed to health food. -- Waverley Root
As Hamlet tells his friend, ``There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.'' Well then, we must try harder to dream! -- Gregory Chaitin
James Taylor may be an all-American boy but he isn't Horatio Alger, and the lionizing of many rock stars by the rock press has as much to do with old fashioned rags-to-riches stories as does the straight culture's deification of its idols. -- Jon Landau
The fierce ambitions of Carver Dana Andrews, son of a Baptist preacher, might well have been imagined by Horatio Alger, Jr.-- or Samuel Goldwyn-- but not the hidden costs behind those achievements. Carl Rollyson compassionately captures the man behind the movie star. -- Marion Meade
I run from Horatio Street down just past Battery Park City and back. It's amazing to run and see the Statue of Liberty and the ferries coming in. People think if you're not near Central Park, there's nowhere to go, but there's a whole ecosystem happening down here. -- Andy Cohen
That liberty [is pure] which is to go to all, and not to the few or the rich alone. (to Horatio Gates, 1798) -- Thomas Jefferson
I don't consider 'American Rose' to be a biography so much as a microcosm of 20th-century America, told through Gypsy's tumultuous life - it's 'Horatio Alger meets Tim Burton.' -- Karen Abbott
Gypsy [Rose Lee] is as unique as she is timeless. Her story is classic Americana, and the strangest rags-to-riches saga you'll ever read; I like to call it Horatio Alger meets Tim Burton. -- Karen Abbott
One of the coolest things was that, in 2007, I got to go to Iraq with Rob Riggle, Paul Scheer, and Horatio Sanz. We went over there to do some comedy shows with the U.S.O. -- Rob Huebel
Angels are not complete, they need their counterparts, the dark needs the bright, the hidden needs the open, and vice versa. Sometimes they meet and recognise each other. Sometimes, as with Horatio and me, the pairing occurs over spaces of time and distance. -- Barry Unsworth
Angels are not complete, they need their counterparts, the dark needs the bright, the hidden needs the open, and vice versa. Sometimes they meet and recognise each other. Sometimes, as with Horatio and me, the pairing occurs over spaces of time and distance." -- Barry Unsworth
Frank Capra, Hollywood's Horatio Alger, lights with more cinematic know-how and zeal than any other director to convince movie audiences that American life is exactly like the 'Saturday Evening Post' covers of Norman Rockwell. 'It's A Wonderful Life,' the latest example of Capracorn, shows his art at a hysterical pitch. -- Manny Farber
While some multimillionaires started in poverty, most did not. A study of the origins of 303 textile, railroad and steel executives of the 1870s showed that 90 percent came from middle- or upper-class families. The Horatio Alger stories of "rags to riches" were true for a few men, but mostly a myth, and a useful myth for control. -- Howard Zinn
