Chalkie Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I ran across this on Facebook and could not find a way to post it directly to here. So I will just quote it. I found there was actually a lot of good advice in this post. An Old Cowboy's AdvicePhoto by Alex Morley * Keep your fences horse-high, pig-tight & bull-strong.* Keep skunks & bankers & 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 whispered...not yelled.* Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.* Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.* Don't corner something that would normally run from you.* It doesn'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 is never gonna happen anyway.* Don't judge folks by their relatives.* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.* Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.* Sometimes you get, & sometimes you get got.* Don't fix it if it ain't broke.* Always drink upstream from the herd.* Good judgment comes from experience, & a lot of that comes from bad judgment.* 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
