Old Cowboy’s Advice\n<\/div>\n

\n* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.<\/p>\n

*  Keep skunks, bankers and lawyers at a distance.
\n 
\n*  Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.
\n 
\n*  A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
\n 
\n*  Words that soak into your ears are whispered… not yelled.
\n 
\n*  Meanness don’t jus’ happen overnight.
\n 
\n*  Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
\n 
\n*  Don’t corner somethin’ that you know is meaner than you.
\n 
\n*  It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
\n 
\n*  You cannot unsay a cruel word.
\n 
\n*  Every path has a few puddles.
\n 
\n*  When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
\n 
\n*  The best sermons are lived, not preached.
\n 
\n*  Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
\n 
\n*  Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
\n 
\n*  Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
\n 
\n*  Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back,  you’ll enjoy it a second time.
\n 
\n*  Don’t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t botherin’ you none.
\n 
\n*  Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
\n 
\n*  If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
\n 
\n*  Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
\n 
\n*  The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with watches  you from the mirror every mornin’.
\n 
\n*  Always drink upstream from the herd.
\n 
\n*  Good judgment comes from experience.
\n 
\n*  Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
\n 
\n*  If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
