Old Country Wisdom for Modern Living
Randomly found this list on the web and thought that I would re-share. Pretty funny.
1. All our fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
2. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
3. Words that soak into your ears are whispered…not yelled.
4. Meanness don’t jes’ happen overniht.
5. Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
6. Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
7. The best sermons are lived, not preached.
8. Don’t judge folks by their relatives
9. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
10. Don’t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t botherin’ you none.
11. Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
12. Always drink upstream from the herd.
13. If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around.
14. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
15. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
I knew that I had a thing or two to learn from Aunt Bea.
