SOME WISDOM FROM WILL ROGERS

Will Rogers (1879-1935) was an American humorist, lecturer, and social critic. Let's hear now a little of his homespun wisdom:

LIBERTY
Liberty don't work as good in practice as it does in Speech.

SHUT UP
Never miss a good chance to shut up.

STOP DIGGING
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

DOUBLE YOUR MONEY
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.

THE CAT IN THE BAG
Lettin' the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back.

FULL OF BULL
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
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

Finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

(A little humor is always good. So I thought I would share these little tidbits from Will Rogers compiled by my friend, W. F. Bell.)
