An Old Hillbilly's Advice:
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 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.*
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.*
This should be required readin' fer all politicians !!
