Cowboy Quote - 12 Old West Sayings Worth Remembering

The old west was one of the most dangerous, labor oppressive and colorful. Captured here are cowboy quotes passed down from generation to generation. Below are a few that you might recognize.

• If you are a bull fighter or cowboy, this saying makes all the sense in the world, "Never arrival a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction" - This is pretty obvious. A bull will fee you, a horse will kick you and a fool will just make your life miserable.
• A cowboy would carry and wear a estimate of weapons and sharp objects. All the items he or she carried, served a definite purpose. If a cowboy tired and wanted to squat down on his legs to rest, spurs would cut into his thighs. So the saying, "Don't squat with your spurs on" was relevant for the time".
• Cowboys were a very down to earth group of men and women. They would take a person for his/her worth. The saying, "Don't judge people by their relatives" means take a person for who he/she is and don't fault them for their family's mistakes".
• This one still is still something we say today, yet is has changed a little. This saying changed with the times, but in the old west you may have heard it said in a different instance, "Behind every thriving rancher is a wife who works in town". In today's times we say, "Behind every thriving man is a strong woman". See how similar this one is?
• Losing is never fun, but a cowboy had a unique way of finding at it. Ever hear the saying, "When you lose, don't lose the lesson". This means when you end up losing a game, bet, etc. Learn from your mistakes, so you have best you chances next time.
• To be "quick on your feet" was crucial in the cowboy world. The saying, "Talk slowly, think quickly" means to think fast in any situation, but think hard about your words before saying them. Once you say something it is hard to take it back.
• Even a cowboy holding their mouth complete took on its own meaning. Ever hear the saying. "Silence is Golden"? There is an older saying, "Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer". Both mean the same thing. Sometimes it is best to hold your tongue or draw more problems to yourself.
• Most cowboys follows some kind of religion. Even though they were not much for church, they did live by a clear code. "Live a good, honorable life" - This saying is one of my favorite cowboy quotes. A righteous person will do his or her best to live an honorable life. Yet it is when we are older where we can truly look back and witness either or not we were successful.
• Cowboys took the issue of breaking something to a whole new level. If you ever heard the saying, "If it aint' broke don't fix it", then the saying, "Don't interfere with something that ain't botherin' you none" is understandable. When you try to fix something that is not broken, you regularly break it.
• One of the more comical sayings goes a little something like this, "Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance". A rain dance will only work if a storm is approaching. Most rain dances are done during the rainy season, so the timing of the dance is perfect for rain to certainly come.
• This one is for the humble person, "The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm". This means it is easier to ask for forgiveness or take back what you said, right after it has been verbalized.
• Most of us get ourselves in deeper and deeper trouble once a problem starts. We don't know how to stop. For example if a person is having trouble paying their reputation card payment, for some reckon they do not stop spending. This saying is for all those that don't know how to stop, "If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'".
