1.) Never slap man who's chewing tobacco.
2.) Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3.) There are two 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 into 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 out'ta 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 h****r came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull...keep your mouth shut.

Well, he was from Oklahoma. :wink: You probably just missed him by a decade or two due to his untimely death. To me, he was the quintessential American. :thumbup:

"I never met a man that I didn't like"
"Even if you are on the right track, youll get run over if you just sit there.
"Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else"
"Common sense ain't common.
"Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious."
"Everyone is ignorant, only on different subjects."
"We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
" The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces.
Just a few more.

Here is one of mine. Never criticize a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. That way if he gets mad he is a mile away from you and barefoot.

There are numerous statues of famous personages around the capitol building. The statue of Will Rogers faces inward, supposedly because he said of Congress: "Somebody needs to keep an eye on that bunch."
