A cowboy's first love is his girl. But a close second is his dog. Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read. Don't squat with your spurs on.

Lettin' the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in. If your ridin' ahead of the herd, look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

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