BEN FRANKLIN
A good conscience is a continual Christmas.
A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.
Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Wise men don’t need advice. Fools won’t take it.
Words may show a man’s wit but actions his meaning.
God helps those who help themselves.
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
He that speaks much, is much mistaken.
He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
Honesty is the best policy.
It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.
Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don’t have brains enough to be honest.
Well done is better than well said.
Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.
Who had deceived thee so often as thyself?
Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.

The Cowgirl Rules

1). It's not knowing the cowgirl rules that makes you a cowgirl, it's when you follow the cowgirl rules that you become a cowgirl.
2). Being a cowgirl isn't about roping and riding, it's about riding with your spurs on, no matter what you do.
3). Every cowgirl knows it's not the talking that gets things done, it's the doing
4). A cowgirl keeps Texas in her heart, even when her feet ain't in Texas.
5). A cowgirl is true to herself, her friends, and her word.
