Life's tough......It's even tougher if you're stupid. --- John Wayne 

*** Don't interfere with something 
that ain't botherin' you none. 

*** 
The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it gets, the 
harder it is to swaller.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

the effort, it probably ain't.

shave his face in the mirror every morning. 

*** 
Never ask a barber if you need a haircut. 

*** 
Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance. 

*** 
Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong.

around the stump. 

*** A bumble bee is considerably 
faster than a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

*** You cannot unsay a cruel word. 

*** Every path has a few puddles.

to get dirty. 

*** The best sermons are lived, not 
preached. 

*** Most of the stuff people worry 
about ain't never gonna happen, anyway. 

*** 
Don't judge folks by their relatives. 

*** 
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. 

*** 
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. 

*** Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got. 

*** 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'n you can chew; your mouth is probably a whole 
lot bigger'n you think. 

*** 
Generally, you ain't learnin' nothing when your mouth's a-jawin'. 

*** 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. 

*** Good judgement comes from 
experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgement. 

*** 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. 

*** 
Don't squat with your spurs on. 

*** 
Always drink upstream from the herd. 

*** 
There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. 

*** There's three kinds of men: the 
one that learns by reading. 
The few who learn by observation 

and the rest of them have to tinkle on 
the electric fence for themselves. 

*** 
Never kick a cowchip on a hot day. 

*** 
Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco. 

*** 
When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised 
if they learn their lesson. 

*** 
When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by 
somebody else. 

*** After eating an entire bull, a 
mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. - 
A hunter came along and shot him. The 
moral: 
When you're full of bull, keep your 
mouth shut. 

Live simply 
....
Love generously 
....
 Care deeply 
....
 Speak kindly. 

Leave the rest to God.
