Bayou Peter offers some, and it’s truly great stuff.
Advice from An Old Hillbilly:
- 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.
- Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
- It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
- You cannot unsay a cruel word.
- 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 ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
- Don‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t botherin’ you none.
That’s a mere sampler, there’s plenty more at the link. Taken for all in all, it just goes to show that there really is such a thing as “timeless.”
Those are good, and as you say, timeless.
Aloha all. Good 2 c you’re all still alive despite everyone’s best efforts.
Love you all.

Hi Noah. Does your salutation mean you are on the islands? If so how are things there?
