Cowboy Quotes and Sayings - Page 5
The cowboy is a patriot.
When you’re throwin’ your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
- Will Rogers
Always take a good look at what you’re about to eat. It’s not so important to know what it is, but it’s critical to know what it was.
Life’s hard. It’s even harder when you’re stupid.
- John Wayne
An onion can make people cry but there’s never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.
- Will Rogers
A cowboy is a man with guts and a horse.
When the mule realizes that he’s being pushed, expect to be kicked.
You know you have a cowboy’s heart when he lets you wear his cowboy hat.
Ride like there is no tomorrow, because the only promise is today.
Cowboy Up.
Shut Up and Ride.
Nature gave us all something to fall back on, and sooner or later we all land flat on it.
If you get thrown from a horse, you have to get up and get back on, unless you landed on a cactus; then you have to roll around and scream in pain.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.
- Will Rogers
A cowboy is not boots, spurs, hat or a love for John Wayne. It is who you are inside. It is how you treat those around you. It is giving of yourself before you give to yourself. It is a smile that comes from your heart and a howdy that comes from your deeds. A rodeo ride isn’t a prerequisite nor is it a requirement to be a cowboy. It isn’t being able to quote Lonesome Dove or talking about the time you saw Garth Brooks in concert. A cowboy has an aura like no one else. A cowboy makes those around him stand in awe of his wisdom, wit and true grit. He holds his mates hand as well as their heart. He treasures what others take for granted. He steps up when others step down and picks up those who stumble around him. A TRUE cowboy is solid, grounded and a gift from God. That is something no item bought at Sheplers or driven of the lot of a dealership can make.
A cowboy is a man with guts and a horse.
- William James
Behind every successful rancher is a wife who works in town.
Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat.
- Ann Landers
Don’t squat with your spurs on.
Shoot Low Sheriff! He’s ridin a Shetland!
There are cowboys and cowgirls out there who aren’t in the rodeo business like ranchers and farmers. You don’t have to rodeo to be a cowboy. Where I come from if you have to have a horse to do your job on a daily basis that makes you a cowboy, a true cowboy doesn’t have to show off their skills at a rodeo they just face their daily tasks. After all, the true cowboys from the past never participated in a rodeo.
A true cowboy knows love, pain, and shame but never cares about fame.
