Wisdom From The Farm
Wisdom From The Farm
Farmers can be really wise. They learn a lot by making their living from the land, or from raising livestock on their property. Here is some wisdom from the farm. • “Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.” • “Keep skunks, lawyers and bankers 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 just 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 and 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 bothering you none.” • “Timin’ 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, and leave the rest to God.” “Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.” |
