Cowtown Wisdom

 

Good judgment comes from experience,
and a lot of that comes from
bad judgment.

EXPERIENCE,
What you get when you don't get what you wanted.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd,
take a look back every now and then
to make sure it's still there.

God, please grant us...
The strength to change the things we can change.
The serenity to accept the things we cannot change.
The wisdom to tell the difference.

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

NEVER drink downstream from the herd.

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence,
try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

NEVER kick a fresh cow chip on a hot day.

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

Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew.
Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

NEVER ask a man the size of his spread.

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.

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

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.

Success is a JOURNEY, not a DESTINATION.
