<\/a><\/p>\nAdvice from an Old Farmer:<\/p>\n
– Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
\n– Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
\n– Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
\n– A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
\n– Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
\n– Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
\n– It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
\n– You cannot unsay a cruel word.
\n– Every path has a few puddles.
\n– The best sermons are lived, not preached.
\n– Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
\n– Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
\n– Live a good, honorable life… Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
\n– Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.
\n– Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.
\n– Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
\n– The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.
\n– Always drink upstream from the herd.
\n– Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
\n– Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight,\u00a0he’ll just kill you.<\/p>\n
