*
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.
* You Never
can tell the depth of a well by the
length of the handle on the Pump.
