The Wisdom of Will Rogers
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 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.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
It don’t take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
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.
