A COWBOY'S GUIDE TO LIFE
Most of the stuff people worry about ain't
never gonna happen anyway.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Your fences need to be horse high, pig tight,
and bull strong.
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.
Life ain't about how fast you run, or how high you
climb, but how well you bounce.
It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of
sheep.
Keep skunks and politicians and lawyers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered ...
not yelled.
Meanness don't jest happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
Don't sell your mule to buy a plow.
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.
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.
Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin'
you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain
dance.
It's better to be a has-been than a never-was.
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 it don't seem like it's worth the effort, it
probably ain't.
Sometimes you get and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever
have to deal with looks at you in the mirror
every mornin'.
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.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta
that comes from bad judgment.
May today there be peace within you. May you trust God
that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
