An Old Farmer's Advice :

* Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers 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.
* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' 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. Speak kindly.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

Be nice to the nerds and geeks in high school - you’ll be working for them in the future.

If you can't stand a person, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you'll be a mile away from him and you'll have his shoes, too.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.

"I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it."

"Informed decision-making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results."

Insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting a different outcome.

If you detect a theme, you are very astute.....I love them because they epitomize the progression of ideas and decisions in the meetings I attend every day....always leave in total disbelief that we accomplish anything...
He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.
