[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 99235, member: 1246"] [b]Re: Heard any good ones?[/b] [B]Good Southern Wisdom[/B] ..... Don't name a pig, chicken or cow you plan to eat. Country fences need to be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong. Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce. Keep skunks, insurance salesmen, lawyers, and bankers at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps. A bumble bee is faster than a John Deere tractor. Trouble with a milk cow is, she won't stay milked. Don't skinny dip in the cow pond with snapping turtles. Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled. Meanness doesn't happen overnight. To know how country folks are doing, look at their barns, not their houses. Never lay an angry hand on a kid or an animal, it just ain't helpful.

Don't chase anything meaner than yourself into a corner. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, that is assuming that you want to catch flies. Man is the only critter who feels the need to label things as flowers or weeds. It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge. Don't go huntin' with a fellow named Chug-A-Lug. You can't unsay a cruel statement. Every path has some puddles. Never wallow in the pigpen with the pigs. You'll just get dirty, and the pigs don't like it. The best sermons are lived, not preached.
