Keep your powder dry

At high tide, fish eat ants; at low tide, ants eat fish.

Life is like the moon: now full, now dark.

A picture's worth a thousand words.

An old ox makes a straight furrow.

Learn from other peoples mistakes.

Learn from your mistakes.

Children are a poor man's riches.

One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.

The best thing a man can do for his kids is to love their mother.

If God were not willing to forgive sin, heaven would be empty.

Please all and you will soon please none.

A miser is like a person with bread who is starving.

He who bites the hand that feeds him, ends up licking the boot that kicks him.

Jealousy is a disease for the weak.

Unjustly got wealth is snow sprinkled with hot water.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Quit while your ahead.

slicker than snot on a door knob

 

[Soapweed]

Handier than a flood in a fizzy factory.

Doesn't have enough sense to make change for a nickel.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

That's where two fools met.

You can't starve a profit.

Wilder than an acre of snakes.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

Turn the other cheek.

[Big Muddy rancher]

The biggest complainers live the longest.

 

[Faster horses]

Hot tongue and cold shoulder

 

[flyingS]

Early to bed, early to rise, leaves you healthy wealthy and wise.

The early bird gets the worm.

Easy come, easy go.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Through God all things are possible.

Wilder than an Acre of snakes.

Wilder than a peach orchard boar.

He was born with the bark on.
Wear's his boot's out from the inside.

She's so wild she doesn't come in to water until after dark.

He couldn't ride a sheepwagon if he was inside with the door nailed shut.

A neighbor said, "I want to die with my boots on; just not this pair."

Spike Van Cleve: "There are three ways of doing something. There is the easy way; the hard way; and my dad's way, which makes the hard way look plum easy."

 

[Shortgrass]

Not what you'ld do with a million if a million were your lot, but what will you do with the buck and a quarter you've got?

That ground is so poor it you couldn't raise a fuss with a red headed woman on it.

every one makes mistakes, but not everyone learns from them.

An empty wagon makes the most racket.

useless as teats on a boar hog.

Darn bulls could tear up an anvil.

 

[flyingS]

Madder'n a wet hen

That horse rides like he's got a square wheel.

That old cow's old enough to vote.

What ever tickles you makes me laugh out loud.

If I was any better I'd be twins.

Sometimes slow is faster.

Give and inch she'll take a mile.

 

[Soapweed]

"How warm did that slicker keep you?"

"If I would have had two of them on, I'd have plum froze to death."

Another Indian fellow works for us occasionally, his referral of a man we both worked for when we were younger was.......

That guy, even his own milk cow don't like him! :lol:

Don't get the cart ahead of the horse.

 

[oldblood]

Meaner than a gut shot grizzly. He eats like a horse. Tigher than a bulls a$$ in fly season. Hornier than a two peakered billy goat. Worthless as tits on a boar. My words fell on deaf ears.

 

[oldblood]

Burnin the candle at both ends, Burnin the midnight oil. Like a pig to mud. Dumb as a stump.
