As the first blog entry got exhausted. My second book |
Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the greatest political sages America has ever known. Some of his sayings... * Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. * There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works. * Never miss a good chance to shut up. * If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. * The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket. * 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. * Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. * If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. * Lettin'the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in. *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. _Moral:_ When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. ABOUT GROWING OLDER... First ~ Eventually you'll 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 travelled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved. Fourth ~ When you're dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra. Fifth ~ You know you're 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. 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. |
