Wisdom from Will Rogers

[Briela]

Oklahoman Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this country has ever known. Enjoy the following quotes----

1. Never slap a man who\'s chewing tobacco.

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

3. There are 2 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 in 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.

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. AND FINALLY: 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.

This one really touched my soul. Thank you for sharing such beautiful insites. I think we can all learn a little if we just slow down and take these in. And the cow chip......yes, I think we all really know what that means. Thanks again Briela. That was lovely.
