Donna enjoys her saying, "the empty barrel makes the most noise", even though her Momma told it to her I believe the author was Benjamin Franklin.
I did find some other notable quotes that board members should think about in their duties and relations with owners............ enjoy
The best-laid schemes of mice and men often go astray.
He's the slave of all slaves who serve's none but himself.
The willing horse is always worked to death.
A wild goose never laid tame eggs.
Those that board with cats may count on scratches.
He that talks to himself speaks to a fool.
Though the cow may die, the grass will still grow.
The worst may be handled when it is known.
He that counts all costs will never put plough in the earth.
Liars should have good memories.
Wide ears and short tongues are best.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
Fair words won't make the pot boil.
Anger is more hurtful than the wrong that caused it.
If you spend a year with a cripple you'll limp at the end of it.
Never argue - simply keep repeating your assertion.
Love of our neighbor is the only door out of the dungeon of self.
A fool may ask more than any wise man can ever answer.
A penniless man walks fast through the market.
Whisky may not cure the common cold ……
but it fails more agreeably than most other things.
Say but little and say it well.
Like the wind seeking the harbor !
The worst cow in the fold, lows the loudest.
What cannot be helped must be put up with.
Feel free to add to the list.
