Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot Wiley Post,
Was one of the greatest political country/cowboy sages this country has ever known.
Some of his sayings worth remembering:
-
“Never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco.”
-
“Never kick a cow pat on a hot day.”
3 “There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.”
-
“Never miss a good chance to shut up.”
-
“Always drink upstream from the herd”
6 “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”
-
“The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.”
-
“There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.” -
“Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.”
-
“If you’re riding’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there.”
11 “Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.”
Will Rogers on GROWING OLDER…
First ~
" Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it."
Second ~
“The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.”
Third ~
“Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know ‘why’ I look this way. I’ve travelled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.”
Fourth ~
“When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.”
Fifth ~
“You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.”
Sixth ~
“I don’t know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.”
Seventh ~
“One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it’s such a nice change from being young.”
Eighth ~
“One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.”
Ninth ~
“Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable and relaxed.”
Tenth ~
“Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it’s called golf.”
And, finally ~
" If you don’t learn to laugh at trouble, you won’t have anything to laugh at when you’re old."
