Excerpts from a Cowboy\'s Guide to Life

Excerpts from a Cowboy's Guide to Life......Author Unknown


• Your fences need to be horse high, pig
tight, and bull strong.
• Life is not about how fast you run, or
how high you climb, but how well you
bounce.
• Life is simpler when you plough around
the stump.
• A bumblebee is considerably faster than
a John Deere tractor.
• Words that soak into your ears are
whispered, not yelled.
• Forgive your enemies. It messes up their
heads.
• Do not corner something that you know
is meaner than you.
• It don't take a very big person to carry a
grudge.
• You cannot unsay a cruel word...
• Every path has a few puddles.
• When you wallow with pigs, expect to
get dirty.
• The best sermons are lived, not
preached.
• Most of the stuff people worry about
ain't never gonna happen anyway...
• Remember that silence is sometimes the
best answer.
• Live a good, honorable life. Then when
you get older and think back, you'll
enjoy it a second time.
• Don't interfere with something that ain't
bothering' you none.
• It's better to be a has-been than a neverwas.
• The easiest way to eat crow is while it's
still warm.
• If you find yourself in a hole, the first
thing to do is stop diggin'.
• 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.
• Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you
can chew; your mouth is probably a
whole lot bigger'n you think.
• You can't tell how good a man or a
watermelon is 'till they get thumped'.
• Never, Never, miss a good opportunity
to shut up.

Re: Excerpts from a Cowboy\'s Guide to Life

Here's another version..........

There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: when you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
Never smack a man who's chewin' tobacco.
It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.
If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly.
If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be suprised if they learn their lesson.
The best way to have a quiche for dinner is to make it up and put it in the oven to bake at 325 degrees. Meanwhile, get out a large T-bone, grill it, and when it's done, eat it. As for the quiche, continue to let it bake, but otherwise ignore it.
When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back.
Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Those are great, especially down here. A few I remember, but most I've never heard before.
Thanks, mark
