It has been said that a Texas Cowboy possessed the rare talent for "saying a whole lot in a mighty few words." Or, "He don't use all of his kindlin' to get a fire started." Here are a few of my favorite Cowboy sayings.
"A winks is as good as a nod to a blind mule."
"Only a fool argues with a skunk, a mule, or a cook."
"Man's the only critter who can be skinned more than once."
"The man who straddles the fence usually has a sore crotch."
"Polishin' your pants on saddle leather don't make you a rider."
"A change of pasture sometimes makes the calf fatter."
"If the saddle creaks, it's not paid for."
"The bigger the mouth, the better it looks shut."
And my all-time favorite:
"Nobody ever drowned himself in sweat."
