An old Farmers advice.

[R J]

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

*Keep skunks, lawyers 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 bothering 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 shoot you.

* Somedays you're the windshield, somedays you're the bug.

      Doubtfull a farmer per se would need this one but it has been one I have tried to live by:


       *  Don't yank on a tigers tail unless you are prepared to deal with his teeth.
