Lay it on me...give me some Deep Thoughts.
He was a cowboy, mister, and he loved the land. He loved it so much he made a woman out of dirt and married her. But when he kissed her, she disintegrated. Later, at the funeral, when the preacher said, "Dust to dust," some people laughed, and the cowboy shot them. At his hanging, he told the others, "I'll be waiting for you in heaven--with a gun."

1. If trees could scream, would we still be so quick to cut them down?

Maybe, if they screamed all the time for no reason.

let 'em go, because man, they're gone.

When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like Grandpa. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

3. "To me, clowns aren't funny....
In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad."

4. I've heard that there is only one fruit cake
and it travels around the world by everyone wrapping it and giving it to everyone else.

6. Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself:
"Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

7. Never judge a man
until you've walked a mile in his shoes.



Because by then, you'll be a mile away, and you'll have his shoes.

9. this one is my all time favorite
The story is told that one evening, an old Cherokee chief told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said,
“My son, the battle is between two wolves.
One is Evil–it is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee chief simply replied, “The one you feed.”
