Memoirs of a reluctant Bulker

An Old Farmer’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. 

*Never fight with a woman.  You’ll lose.  

 * Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. 

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.
