Words To Live By

Post by Pete44ru »

.

From an old farmer:

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

* Keep skunks 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 doesn't 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 aren’t gonna happen anyway.

* Don’t judge folks by their relatives.

* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

* Live a good, honorable life - when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.

* Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that isn’t bothering you.

* 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 to stop digging.

* Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

* The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, looks at you from the mirror every morning.

* Always drink upstream from the herd.

* Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that experience 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, and speak kindly - Leave the rest to God.

* Don’t pick a fight with an old man - If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

Some wisdom there, for sure. I especially liked the one about a bee being faster than a John Deere, or at least a small Mahendra-- don't ask me how I know!

* Don’t judge folks by their relatives.

Gotta disagree with this one, based on past experience with girlfriends, co-workers, and a couple so-called friends.

I'd amend it to say, "Don't always judge folks by their relatives, but don't forget which stew-pot they came from".
