Flatiron Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 An Old Farmer's Advice: * Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tightand 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 aJohn 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 meanerthan you. * It don't take a very big person to carry agrudge. * 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'tnever gonna happen anyway. * Don't judge folks by their relatives. * Remember that silence is sometimes the bestanswer. * Live a good, honorable life Then when you getolder and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time. * Don't interfere with somethin' that ain'tbotherin' you none. * Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of arain 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 everhave to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'. * Always drink upstream from the herd. * Good judgment comes from experience, and alotta that comes from bad judgment. * Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole loteasier than puttin' it back in. * If you get to thinkin' you're a person of someinfluence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. * Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
