without envy, beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is laced with muscle, and strength by gentleness confined.
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent; there is nothing so quick,
nothing more patient.
Our past has been borne on his back.
All our history is his industry:
we are his heirs, he is our inheritance.
Ladies and Gentlemen: The Horse!
Robert Duncan

I particularly like "nobility without pride, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity"...
Puts a smile on my face that I have such a friend.
