Don't squat with your spurs on.
Don't let your yearnings get ahead of your earnings.

Don't dig for water under the outhouse.
Don't go in if you don't know the way out.

Don't mess with something that ain't bothering you.
Never drive black cattle in the dark.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Never ask how stupid someone is, 'cause they'll turn around and show you.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and look stupid, than to open it and prove it.
If it doesn't seem to be worth the effort, it probably isn't.

Just 'cause trouble comes knocking, doesn't mean you have to offer it a place to sit down.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag, is a whole lot easier than putting it back.

Nature gave us all something to fall back on, and sooner or later, we all land flat on it.
The quickest way to double your money, is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.
