My Grand Father was a cowboy prior to the turn of the previous century, 1800s to 1900s. He did the Depression, he did the dust bowl.
He presented me with two very profound bits of wisdom.
Starvation is inspirational.
There's only one thing dumber then a horse and that's the man on top of him.

Not trusting his life experience I had to try both out for myself and found he was correct.
