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 jess happen overnight

Forgive you enemies; it messes with 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 can't 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

Live a good, honorable life...Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time

Remember sometimes silence is the best answer

Don't interfere with something 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 digging

Sometimes you get and sometimes you get got

Always drink upstream from the herd

Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of 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 thinking 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 ya.
