Keep skunks and bankers at a distance. <\/p>\n

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.<\/p>\n

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.<\/p>\n

Words that soak into your ears are whispered…not yelled.<\/p>\n

Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.<\/p>\n

Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.<\/p>\n

It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.<\/p>\n

You cannot unsay a cruel word.<\/p>\n

Every path has a few puddles.<\/p>\n

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.<\/p>\n

The best sermons are lived, not preached.<\/p>\n

Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen. <\/p>\n

Don ‘t judge folks by their relatives.<\/p>\n

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.<\/p>\n

Live a good, honorable life…
\nthen when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.<\/p>\n

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.<\/p>\n

The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.<\/p>\n

Always drink upstream from the herd.<\/p>\n

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.<\/p>\n

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.<\/p>\n

Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.<\/p>\n
