Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut. It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back in. Never follow good whiskey with water, unless you're out of good whiskey.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket. When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.
