Cowboy Wisdom Quotes

The Cowboy Way Being a Cowboy is doing the right thing; common wisdom born of simple virtues and strong ideals. Above all, it is a strict adherence to honesty even when it is not in our best interests. It is having an inherent sense of justice in a world where the cards are often stacked against us. We try to hold enough common sense to recognize the value of a lost cause and the cost of lost values. Generally speaking, we are quietly reserved in all things except freedom, fresh air and Saturday night. We have a keen eye for a good horse, a good gun,and a good Cowgirl. Constant to friends, we are more so when friends need us, less so when they don't. Familiar with hard work we also know hard knocks and hard roads. Often given to tears when lesser individuals would display indifference; we are as well given to joy in a few places others would only find disdain. We enjoy plain living, not because we relish doing without, but because we have discovered the treasures within. And, finally, we have that elusive emotion called courage which is, at worst, a badly directed sense of conceit and, at best, it is the stuff of which dreams are made. . . .

This too will pass, of course. In fact, artistically speaking, it has passed. The unfolding over time of a great idea is like the growth of a fractal crystal, allowing details and refinements to multiply endlessly – but only in ever-decreasing scale. Eventually (perhaps by the early 1960's) those who stepped forward to carry the West Coast Landscape Photography banner were not producing art, so much as re-producing the history of art. Separated two or three generations from the forces that spawned the vision they championed, they were left making images of experiences they never quite had. If you find yourself caught in similar circumstances, we modestly offer this bit of cowboy wisdom: When your horse dies, get off.

Richard Cracroft, one of the few American commentators on May’s writings, aptly summarizes the narrative structure of May’s work: “while surveying, Karl May becomes acquainted with the revolting cruelty of the American, and must frequently exert his Teutonic wisdom and strength to teach a few Teutonic manners.”31 The evil of the Americans thus only makes sense in contrast to the goodness of the Germans. For, unlike the American, the German is perceived by all as “a brother of redmen,” and indeed explicitly identified by the “red man” as his “dearest friend and brother.” Not only are May’s Germans morally superior to white Americans, they are also, unexpectedly, better cowboys and trappers. Indeed, American-born men often have to acknowledge reluctantly that native Germans are “cut out to be Westerners,” indeed miles ahead of “real” Americans in their ability to understand and master the American landscape.32

Ain't Lookin' Back" (Verse 1) City lights, country nights, blending in a perfect flow, I'm hitting this life full throttle, ready for the show. You're yesterday's echo, fading in the track, When you take out the trash, ain't no sense in looking back. (Chorus) 'Cause I'm living loud, in the here and now, No rearview glances, I've made my vow. I won't be a part of letting you destroy me, I'm all about the future, that's where you'll see me. (Verse 2) Got my heart tuned up, like a guitar's string, Every lesson learned, is a song I'll sing. I'm done with the digging, done with the old hack, When you take out the trash, you don't unpack. (Bridge) I'm a modern rebel, with an old soul's wisdom, Cutting ties with the past, like a sharp incision. I'm not just surviving, I'm on the attack, When you take out the trash, you don't look back. (Chorus) 'Cause I'm living loud, in the here and now, No rearview glances, I've made my vow. I won't be a part of letting you destroy me, I'm all about the future, that's where you'll see me. (Outro) So here's to the bright days, and the starlit nights, To the new beginnings, and the soaring heights. I'm stepping forward, on a one-way track, 'Cause when you take out the trash, you ain't lookin' back.
