Whenever making a deal remember that there is usually one person getting taken advantage of. If you don't know who that person is, it's you.
 
If you're going to be a bear, might as well be a grizzly

Don't let your mouth get you into what your ass can't cover
 
I had a math teacher who would mark a math question wrong if you didn't show the math.

It took years for that lesson to sink in.
 
I grew up on a farm/ranch and my dad got a copy of the Hereford News every month. On the back they always asked all the old cowboys questions. One month they asked a group of em what thier best advice for the younger generation was.

One old boy said: "Forty years ago I gave up on Women, and I've been happy ever since".

My dad cut it out and stuck it on the fridge.

And here are a few of my dad's little nuggets of knowledge.

When he found out I knocked up my girlfriend: "guess you found out that thing is for more than peeing, didn't you?!"

When we were trying to hobble a heifer to get her to allow her calf to feed "kick the old b***h in the leg so she'll move it". This one got me kicked right back in the leg, and found me laying in a pile of steaming cow s**t. To which he found great pleasure in.
 
Usually the most annoying, look-at-me! person you know has really ****ty self-esteem (and I find the most constructive thing to do is just ignore them).

Don't flip out about things that happen - just deal with them as best you can, and try to have fun in life.

The best advice I ever received wa s alesson I was tought while on one of my magic mushroom experiments:

From my dad (which I did not follow, much to my dismay) "If you absolutely, positively, have to join the military, go to college first and become an officer. Whatever you do, don't go in enlisted."

Guns work on the condom principle. It's always better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it.

From a Sepcial Forces buddy: Unless you're in bed, in a pool, or in the shower, you should always, always, always have a knife on you. Even then you should have one within arms reach.
 
Keep uncle Lester away from the dog.

Not an exact quote but an old man (my boss) once told me to pick something and be the best at it and you will always have work, people will come to you for it.

Kind of a take on the "jack of all trades, master of none" saying. But I think that is true but probably more if you are self employed. When you work for someone you are done when they screw up and then you need to hopefully find someone with the same need for you.
 
Being resentful is like peeing on yourself in the dark. It might feel all warm and nice at first, then it gets cold and nobody else knows or cares anything about it, anyway.
 
I thought peeing on yourself was like happiness. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel it's warmth.
 
Be careful, the toes you step on today may be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow.
