An Old Farmer's Advice:  

* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight
and bull-strong. 

   * Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers 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.
