NancyII - > Things that interest ME -> Will Rogers wise sayings
Will Rogers wise sayings

Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935

Even if he didn't say all of them, it's still good advice.

 

 Enjoy the following:
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 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.

Sioux, I didn't see yours or I wouldn't have repeated it.  I just got that from my sister in TN and isn't it funny how things travel around the world and land in our backyard so close together?

One of us will have to dig up more Will Rogers just to give more perspective.  At least we're in good company.

I'd like to comment Nancy but it would just be an invitation to the trolls to hijack your blog to insult me and Jason won't do anything about it. This might attract them anyway but I had to let you know as a friend I won't be commenting on yours or other posts because of this.

Sam, take a deep breath my friend, you are getting paranoid. These blogs are not about you, comment if you want, post what you want - if you are worried about attacks and think Jason won't respond, then re-read your posts and perhaps temper your remarks. I may not always agree with you, but many people in here are on record as enjoying your posts, so jump into the water with the rest of us.

Will Rogers:

I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a Democrat.

 Nancy:  Will Rogers was a world apart from most of humanity.  He had a way of distilling wisdom into the funniest quips able to be put together by man.  My dad loved him, and what I've seen and read about him over the years has endeared him to me even more.  Thanks for posting this.

When I watch Will Rogers,  I'm amazed how his comedy has transcended time.  He talked about greedy businessmen and  crooked politicians then and the material could be used today without changing a word.

actually, its sad that things haven't changed more since the 1930's.

Things like Will Rogers sayings that transcend time remind me of one of the cleses or crates of ancient Greece about children being disrespectful, interrupting adults and being rowdy.  (I always forget the old boys name who said that)  The more things change, the more they stay the same

I just love it when someone like Will Rogers can shave off the BS and get to the nitty gritty.  And he is SO funny.

A homily I'd like to add to Wills...Never pass up a chance to use the bathroom.

I think Socrates said something about students not wanting to pay attention in class.  They probably had their mind on girls and a new set of wheels (chariots)
