Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks, bankers, and politicians 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.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
If you don't take the time to do it right, you'll find the time to do it twice.
Don't corner something that is meaner than you.
Donโt pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, heโll just kill you.
It donโt 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.
Don't be banging your shin on a stool that's not in the way.
Borrowing trouble from the future doesn't deplete the supply.
Most of the stuff people worry about ainโt never gonna happen anyway.
Donโt judge folks by their relatives.
Silence is sometimes the best answer.
Donโt interfere with somethinโ that ainโt 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 digginโ.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker youโll ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morninโ.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.
Lettinโ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttinโ it back in.
If you get to thinkinโ youโre a person of some influence, try orderpeak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
Most times, it just gets down to common sense.

Why not? Hillbillies - and other varieties of country folk - might have been short on schooling, but long on common sense.

If you think you are a person of influence, try giving orders to another guy's dog.

Seeing some of the over educated idiots around it's easy to see more common sense.
