and bull-strong. **

John Deere tractor.

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.

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
botherin' 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.
* 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. Leave the rest to G~d.*
