“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.”

“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, and leave the rest to God.”

Dear Joy ~~ What a nice lot of funnies for us - thanks for sharing.
I hope you are feeling Okay with some helpful medications.
I enjoyed all the Farmer's jokes.
I was shocked when they told me I had had 2 heart attacks AND so very glad I was in hospital and so no damage was done to my heart. It explains why I feel so weak and how long I was in bed. I am doing my exercises and hoping to get better again. Much love, dear friend, Merle.
