The World Is In Desperate Need Of Some Old West Wisdom

In Eastern cultures, like China and Japan, the wisdom of elders is revered.

But Western cultures often make the mistake of thinking old people are foolish.

We can learn a lot from the past.

Recently I came across some Old West Wisdom that I figured should be plastered on social media and billboards.

In these times people really could use some of this old wisdom.

Every trail has some puddles.

If you just read that sentence without thinking about it then you missed the point. THINK ABOUT IT!

There’s no place ’round the campfire for a quitter’s blanket.

Don’t name a cow you plan to eat.  

Once again, think about it. That line is not just about cows.

Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for. 

 I'd like to add to that - it would be better, at the same time, if we paid for a lot less government.

Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb but how well you bounce.

In other words, after you hit the ground, get back up and keep going.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

We could spend the rest of the day talking about this one. That's why I wrote a book called The Uncomplicated Life.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.

This might be the truest statement of all.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

And you become no better than them. So, just avoid it.

Most of the stuff people worry about never happens.

Right, so quit worrying about every little thing and get on with your life.

These few old cowboy sayings are just a few that I found on this website.
