    Anyone who says they can do at 65 what they were doin' at 25 wasn't doin' much at 25.

    It's everything I can do to not tell that woman how much I love her.

    *chuckle* We don't have cowboys here but I know that saying. It might be universal.

    A flight of doves were released at Roy Roger's funeral. His sons looked at each other and one asked: "What would Dad say about that?" The other son looked at him and replied: "I'll take the leader, you get the ones on the right." Roy was an avid hunter.

    A more generic saying applied to a meal out on the range: "It ain't important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was."

    I remembered this from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but I had to look up the actual lines.
    It's when we see Robert Redford (Sundance) and Kathrine Ross who plays Etta, together for the first time.

    [Etta is surprised in her home as she is undressing by Sundance]
    Sundance Kid: Keep going, teacher lady. [He points his pistol at her] It's OK, don't mind me. Keep on going. [She removes her outer slip] Put down your hair. Shake your head.
    [pointing his gun, he threatens for her to undo the last remaining bits of clothing. Then he rises and approaches toward her with amorous intentions to force himself upon her]
    Etta sadly] Do you know what I wish?
    Sundance Kid: What?
    Etta : That once, you'd get here on time!

    I’m so busy I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.
