[StBernard] Farmer's Advice

[Westley Annis]

	An Old Farmer's Advice:  
	
	* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong.
	* Keep skunks, 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 the ones that 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.
	
	Don't ever even think of picken a fight with an old man. If he is
too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
