Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled.

Meanness doesn't happen overnight.

Never lay an angry hand on a kid or an animal. It just ain't helpful.

Teachers, Moms and hoot owls sleep with one eye open.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.

Don't sell your mule to buy a plow.

Two can live as cheap as one, if one don't eat.

Don't corner something meaner than you.

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

Don't go huntin' with a fellow named Chug-A-Lug.
