You get to where you kind of like it, and It's a habit That's hard to break. I still find myself sittin' in a cafe, like a pizza parlor.

It is no dishonor to be in a minority in the cause of liberty and virtue

Liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals.

It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail.

You'll probably get three horses and you have to draw a good buckin' horse. That's mighty tough.

If you're lucky enough to draw a good horse, you still have to ride him, then the next ones. So It's probably 80 percent luck and 20 percent skill.

In fact my son subscribes to Pro Bull Rider magazine.

I only won $250 all summer. And then I got crippled. I had a horse step on me while performing and it was messed up for a while.

My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s.

You hope your buddies will win so you don't have to loan them any money.

I'm healed up and I feel great. After going through the fire, it's great to be out performing again.

I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has.

I can remember sittin in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.

And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel.

Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.

Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?

When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.

Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.
