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 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.
Leave the rest to God.
