Will Rogers was a humorist well before our time…. He did a great many quotes in his routines about “politics”….
Never Squat With Your Spurs On!
Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska, flying with Wiley Post, was one of the Greatest political country/cowboy sages this country has ever known. Some of his sayings:
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.
Neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it
and put it back into your pocket.
8. 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.
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10. 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.
12. 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.
ABOUT 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 traveled
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.
