The Code of the West
A Cowboy’s Guide to Life by Texas Bix Bender
Write it in your heart. Stand by the code, and it will stand by you.

·          Ask no more and give no less than honesty, courage, loyalty, generosity and fairness.

·          You don’t need decorated words to make your meanin’ clear.  You don’t need to cuss either. Say it plain and save some breath for breathin’.

·          Don’t never interfere with something that ain’t botherin’ you none.

·          If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.

·          Never gamble.  It makes you about as welcome as a sidewinder in a cow camp.

·          Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

·          The first thing to do when you get up in the morning is put on your Stetson.

·          If you’re ridin’ ahead of the herd, take a look back now and then to make sure it’s still there.

·          It don’t matter so much how long a ride you have, as how well you ride it.

·          Always drink upstream from the herd.

·          Don’t worry about biting off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger’n you think.

·          Don’t get mad at somebody who knows more’n you do, it ain’t their fault.

·          Generally, you ain’t learnin’ nothin’ when you is a-jawin’.

·          Talk low, talk slow and don’t say too much.

·          If you want to forget all your troubles take a little walk in a brand-new pair of hi-heeled ridin’ boots.

·          The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.

·          Trust everybody in the game, but always cut the cards.

·          The wildest critters live in the city!

·          No matter who says what, don’t believe it if it don’t make sense.

·          Don’t let so much reality into your life that there’s no room left for dreamin’.

·          Makin’ it in life is kinda like bustin’ broncs; you’re gonna get thrown a lot. The simple secret is to keep getting’ back on.

·          Never miss a chance to rest your horse.

·          Go after life as if it’s something that’s got to be roped in a hurry before it gets away.

·           Don’t squat with yer spurs on!
