| Callin' women the weaker sex makes about as much sense as calling men the stronger. Whether or not a horse turns out to be a good cow horse pretty much depends on the intelligence of its trainer. When a cowboy gives you a key to his truck, you're pretty close to winning a place in his heart. Anyone who thinks they know everything hasn't been around long enough to know anything. If a horse develops a few good moves on his own, he should be rewarded so that he develops others. One of these days is none of these days. If you're having trouble with a mustang, change the bit. You can't get ahead of anyone you are trying to get even with. There's no need to buckle on spurs & chaps to drive the milk cows home. You can't keep trouble from visitin', but you don't have to offer it a chair. If you wake up and find yourself a success, you haven't been asleep When someone commences to flattering you, there's more up their sleeve than an arm. If you've done it, it ain't braggin'. You can't drown your sorrows; they know how to swim. If you start by finding some happiness inside of you, it's likely you'll find it in other places. If you want a little extra attention, ask your cowboy if you can borrow his six shooter for the night. Do not shoot at the horse, shoot at the jackass riding it. When you're getting wind of a tail, you're following too close. Sheep do not associate with wolves, and for dang good reason. Do not burn your house down to catch a rat. A woman's inuition comes from paying attention to what's going on around her. There are two kinds of people in this world, people who think there are 2 kinds & people who know better. Opportunity knocks once, but temptaion is a frequent visitor. If you find an apple under an orange tree, it's not a miracle; something's not right. Even if it takes more than one throw to land a steer, he's still bound and tied. Don't let anybody's opinion kill your belief in yourself. A lot of what a man knows, a woman knows better. Getting up a lynch party is not group therapy. Before you get serious with a cowboy, make sure he values you more than his truck. A man who wears spurs as high expectations. A woman who wears spurs has a mind of her own. If you are fixin' to get yourself a good stallion, don't go looking in the donkey corral. A horse is well trained when he is convinced he wants to do what you want him to do. |
