Title: The Wisdom of Will Rogers.....
Post by: CHARLIE on April 30, 2002, 12:23:19 PM
"When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car."

"Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it
back in."

"If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there."

"After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.  He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him...
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut."

"Never kick a cow chip on a hot day."

"There's two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works."

"The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket."

"Don't squat with your spurs on."

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment."

"Never miss a good chance to shut up."

"Always drink upstream from the herd."

"When you're throwing' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else."

"There are three kinds of men:
1. The ones that learn by reading.
2. The few who learn by observation.
3. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves."

I once had a flight instructor tell me, "Learn from other people's mistakes. You won't live very long, if you try to make them all, yourself."  :P

I don't think this was Will Rogers, but... "I love work.  It fascinates me.  I could sit and watch it all day long."

   I always heard it 'never puke to windward'- this being of more immediate necessity on board various fishing vessels. Little more leisure time for the strategic planning of pissing in the wind..lw
