Internet Gleanings XX, Will Rogers Sayings

Will Rogers was an Oklahoma cowboy poet whose homespun philosophy made him a household word circa mid-twentieth century. This collection was pulled from the internet.

 


 


 


Don't squat with your spurs on.


Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.


Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back


in.


If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and


then to make sure it's still there.


If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.


After eating an entire steer, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral of this story is:- When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.


Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.


There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.


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.


And Lastly:


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

Will Rogers knew the most important lesson of all: it is much easier to give your wisdom to others when you're making them laugh at the same time.

There is no arguing with the wisdom of all the reflections, but especially of these last ones... **laughing** As a country woman, I am the first to nod vehemently in agreement!
Have a wonderful week, Leland. **Still laughing**

Leland, these are excellent. Heard many of them before but never knew who said them.
