Found this list of sayings on another site and thought they were worth passing on.

Keep skunks 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 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 bothering 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.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta 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. Leave the rest to God.

Most times, it just gets down to common sense...

Here is one that has stuck with me since I was a kid. ” look before you leap" I have said this numerous times. Most agree. The ones that give you the deer in the head light look, it does no good to try and explain it as they never will any way. Jeff

One of my favorites is “there's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over."

An Aussie and I were discussing the problems of packing and shipping firearms and moulds from Australia to the USA. He replied: "All care, no worries; no care, all worries.” That appears to be a common saying down under.

 I don't have one to add to the list but if I had read Pat's list once a week for the last sixty years I probably would have gotten more done and had lower blood pressure.

John, I used to be a professional aviator for many years, and one of my favorites is:  "The only time you have too much fuel, is when you're on fire."Worked for me for 30+ years. Bill

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. My fate is not entirely in Gods hands, if I have a weapon in mine.

I like the one about the Bumble Bee. I cut hay and hit a nest every now and then and I have noticed that they attack the tractor - usually the tires.
