An Old Farmer's Advice: ���
* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight
And bull-strong.�
*Keep skunks and bankers at a�
Distance.�
�*Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
* A bumble bee is considerably faster than a
John Deere tractor.�
�* Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.�
� * Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.�
* Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
* Do not corner something that you know is meaner
Than you.�
* It don't take a very big person to carry a
Grudge.�
* You cannot unsay a cruel word.�
* Every path has a few puddles.�
* When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
* The best sermons are lived, not preached.
* Most of the stuff people worry about ain't� never gonna happen anyway.�
* Don't judge folks by their relatives.�
* Remember that silence is sometimes the best
� Answer.
* Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get
� Older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin� you none.�
* Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance. �
� �* If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. �
* Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.�
�* The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever
Have to deal with, watches you from The mirror every mornin'.�
�* Always drink upstream from the herd.�
�* Good judgment comes from experience, and a
Lotta that comes from bad judgment.�
�* Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot
Easier than puttin' it back in.�
* If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some
Influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.�
�* Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
* Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you...
