A cowboy never lets his rope go slack. Don’t squat with your spurs on. The only way to get ahead is to saddle up and ride. It ain’t the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. A cowboy’s boots may get dusty, but his spirit always shines. Don’t judge a cowboy by the size of his hat, but by the size of his heart.

– Old farmers' advice "Tumbleweeds are best left to themselves." "Big mouth don't make a big man." – Will Anderson, The Cowboys “Life is getting up one more time than you’ve been knocked down.” – John Wayne "Go after life as if it’s something that’s got to be roped in a hurry before it gets away." “The best sermons are lived, not preached.”
