Cowboy Quotes Here are some cowboy quotes & tips for life: Don't squate with yer spurs on. Don't let your yearnings get ahead of your earnings. Never miss a good chance to shut up. Don't dig for water under the outhouse. Never take down another man's fence. Never drive black cattle in the dark. The only good reason to ride a bull is to meet a nurse. Make apologies not excuses. Water and truth are freshest at their source. Don't go in if you don't know the way out. Brace your backbone and forget your wishbone. If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride. Behind every successful rancher is a wife who works in town. The horse stopped with a jerk-- and the jerk fell off! Any cowboy can carry a tune. The trouble comes when he tries to unload it. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson. Always drink upstream from the herd. Generally, you ain't learnin' nothing when your mouth's a-jawin'. Tellin' a man to git lost and makin' him do it are two entirely different propositions. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there with ya. If it doesn't seem to be worth the effort it probably isn't. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back into your pocket Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. The biggest troublemaker you'll ever deal with watches you shave his face every morning. Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it gets, the harder it is to swaller. When in doubt, let your horse do the thinkin'. Basketball, Football, Baseball... RODEO: Bring yer own BALLS! Don't mess with something that ain't bothering you. It's better to keep your mouth shut an look stupid than open it and prove it. Treat a woman like a racehorse, and she'll never be a nag. When a cowboy's too old to set a bad example, he hands out good advice. There' are two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you can chew; your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think. If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop diggin'. Just 'cause trouble comes visiting doesn't mean you have to offer it a place to sit down. When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else. Never ask how stupid someone is 'cause they'll turn around and show you. Never ask a barber if you need a haircut. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. |
