- Build
a little fence of trust around today; Fill the space with loving
deeds, And therein stay. Look not through the sheltering bars Upon
tomorrow; God will help thee bear what comes of joy and
sorrow.
- Mary F. Butts

A
good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but
doesn't climb over it.

The
grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the
fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest
where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you
and tend the grass wherever you may be.

Don't
ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up.

Hit
the ball over the fence and you can take your time going around the
bases.

your neighbor as yourself; but don't take down the fence.
Carl
Sandburg
There
are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who
learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric
fence for themselves.
Will Rogers
If
you strive for the moon, maybe you'll get over the fence.
James
Wood
A
politician is an animal which can sit on a fence and yet keep both
ears to the ground.
H. L. Mencken
A woman's dress should
be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing
the view.
Sophia Loren
And I don't believe that I have
to stay on one side of the fence or the other. I don't believe that
there is any good career move or bad career move. I believe there are
only the things that make me happy.
Whoopi Goldberg
The
fence around a cemetery is foolish, for those inside can't get out
and those outside don't want to get in.
Arthur Brisbane
Anytime
you see a turtle up on top of a fence post, you know he had some
help.

is the highest fence.

fence.

Don't ever take a fence down
until you know why it was put up.

the highest fence.
Dudley Nichols
He has sat on the
fence so long that the iron has entered his soul.
David Lloyd
George
Honesty is never seen sitting astride the fence.
Lemuel K. Washburn
Hopefully, I can play both sides of
the fence. That's probably what winning the Oscar gives me, the
chance to do something with a studio and do other things that I
really want to do.
Benicio Del Toro
How well I have
learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell.
There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place
for any man.
Johnny Cash
Human beings are human beings.
They say what they want, don't they? They used to say it across the
fence while they were hanging wash. Now they just say it on the
Internet.
Dennis Miller
I
am not someone who believes we should build a fence around our
country but I do believe there ought to be some fairness with respect
to the rules of this globalization.
Byron Dorgan
I am
often on guard over the Russians. In the darkness one sees their
forms move like stick storks, like great birds. They come close up to
the wire fence and lean their faces against it. Their fingers hook
round the mesh.
Erich Maria Remarque
I could never
understand how we could put 120,000 Japanese behind a fence in World
War II. I remember being bewildered about that.
Phil Donahue
I
grew up with the white picket fence. My dad went to work nine to
five, and he had a station wagon.
Matt Dillon
I like to
take pictures of lots of things: people-such as my nephews, my dogs,
and just interesting objects that I see. For instance, I might take a
picture of flowers by the side of the road, an old sign or a fence.
Lacey Chabert
I loved running. I can catch everything in
the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.
Shemar
Moore
If you strive for the moon, maybe you'll get over the
fence.
James Wood
In baseball you hit your home run over
the right-field fence, the left-field fence, the center-field fence.
Nobody cares. In golf everything has got to be right over second
base.
Ken Harrelson
It doesn't matter which side of the
fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You
cannot make progress without making decisions.

Love
your neighbor as yourself; but don't take down the fence.
Carl
Sandburg
My wife and I had decided not to let anybody take
pictures of our home because it was just the last place on earth we
had that was unscathed. But people have climbed over the fence;
they've taken aerial shots. They've gotten my address and put it on
the Internet.
Steven Tyler
Sides are being divided now.
It's very obvious. So if you're on the other side of the fence,
you're suddenly anti-American. It's breeding fear of being on the
wrong side.
Sam Shepard
So they all went away from the
little log house. The shutters were over the windows, so the little
house could not see them go. It stayed there inside the log fence,
behind the two big oak trees that in the summertime had made green
roofs for Mary and Laura to play under.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
So when I got word from three different sets of people who
all said Manson had cancer, I knew I couldn't get straight info from
his staff and had no choice but to go over the fence for it.
Lynette Fromme
Some of us may just, in one-on-one
conversations with our family, with our friends, over the back fence
with our neighbors, talk about the reality of our lives and realize
that we're not alone, that we have a right to be physically safe and
emotionally safe in our own homes.
Patricia Ireland
The
only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.
John
Locke
The security fence is reversible. Human lives are
irreversible.

There are three kinds of
men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by

themselves.

round time that is gone. You can go back and have what you like of it
if you can remember.

There is something
about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel
good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I
need.
William Faulkner
There's only one thing I never
did and wish I had done: climbed over a fence.
Queen Mary
They
claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence
their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings
and their refuse.
