Default Farmer's advice - Good words

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.

Good advice. I am a farmboy myself so I need to add this one from my Dad, an old ryegrass farmer.

"If you're gonna do a job, do it right!"
