Stopped to breathe his pony.

Bragged himself out of a place to lean agin' the bar.

Ah din't break nuthin', but all my hinges, bolts an' nuts was shore loosened.

He stood nekkid by t' water tank a warshin' out the canyon.

He wuz caught short an' now he's deadern' hell in some preacher's back yard.

He could be plenty ignerat without strugglin' t' make a job outta it.

Hungry enuff t' eat a saddle blanket.

It wuz mostly a small-bore squabble.

Friends close 'nough to usee the same toothpick.

Deceitful beans --those as talk behind yore back.

He wuz as pleased as a little heifer with a new fence post.

Boots so frazzled he couldn't scratch a match without burning his feet.

Climb off yore hoss an' eat a bean with us, stranger.

Don't never interfere with nutthin' whut don' bother yuh none.

He's so purty ah feel lak takin' off muh hat t' him.

Goin' 'round the coffee pot lookin' fer th' handle would 'bout cover th' extent o' his travels.

Nobody said they had to be cowboy sayings:

Brevity is the soul of wit

Necessity is the mother oif invention..

I may not always be right, but I'm never wroing.

"It's all so beautuiful, I'd like to sock somebody in the jaw."

":..a rosy dot over the "i" in loving..."

Bad news is best not postponed.

"It runs in the family"

We are such stuff as dreams are made on,
and our little world is rounded with a sleep.

"What's the use of wondrin
if he's good or if he's bad
or if you like the way he wears his hat?
what's the use of wondrin
if he's good or if he's bad:
he's yotr feller and ya love him,
that's all there is to that.

Common sense may tell you
that the ending will be bad
and now's the time to break aned run away,
but what's the use of wondren
if the eending will be bad:
he's your felker and ya love him:
there's nothing more to say.
i
Something
made him the way that he is
whether he's false or true.
And something
gave him the things that are his:
one oif those things is you.

So if he wants your kisses
you'll give them to the lad
and anywhere he leads you you will walk
and any time he needs you
you'll go runnin' there like mad:
he's your feller and yoiu love him
and all the rest is talk."

"It's still the same old story,a fight foir love and glory.
a case of do or die:
The workd will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Nobody said they didn't have to be cowboy sayings, neither; but, I matched at least one of them, didn't I?

(Ennis in the book and the movie) "Mexico? Jack, you know me. All the travelin I ever done is goin around the coffeepot lookin for the handle."

If I hear a bloke saying, "I'm goin fishin with my mate".......cant help wondering, "is he really going fishin???????
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

When I read the title I first thought of "You bet!" How about some more sayings that are actually in the movie?
