The Wisdom of Will Rogers
|
Don't
squat with your spurs on. Good
judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad
judgment. Never
kick a cow chip on a hot day. If
you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. Never
slap a man who's chewin' tobacco. It
don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. Always
drink upstream from the herd. When
you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be
surprised if they learn their lesson. When
you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by
somebody else. The
quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in
your pocket. Never
miss a good chance to shut up. There
are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who
learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
for themselves
