Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was
probably the greatest political sage this country has ever known.
Enjoy the following:
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are 2 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 in 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 outta 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 hunter came along and shot
him. The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
ABOUT GROWING OLDER...
First ~ Eventually you will 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 traveled a long way and
some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to
youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are 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 is 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 are old.

Some more to include
1. “It’s not what you pay a man but what he costs you that counts.” [This fits perfectly for the HR people]
2. “It doesn’t take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.”
3. “Rumor travels faster, but it don’t stay put as long as truth.”
nterventions get done.
4. “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.”

some more of Will Rogers on Government
"I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts."
"This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when a baby gets hold of a hammer."
"With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law, and every time they make a law it's a joke."
"Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, that don't hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous."
"Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for."
"Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now what's going to happen to us with both a Senate and a House?"
"The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected."
"On account of us being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does."
"The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office."
"The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best."
"Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything."
"If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these acceptance speeches there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven."
"The budget is a mythical bean bag. Congress votes mythical beans into it, and then tries to reach in and pull real beans out."
"If you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics."
"Everything is changing. People are taking the comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke."
"There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you."
"Next to guinea pigs, taxes have been the most prolific animal."
"If you make any money, the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets, and all that don't get wet you can keep."
"The only thing I would advise you to do [for lower taxes] is not to have anything they can tax away from you."
"The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf."
"The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."
"I don't want to complain, but every time they build a tax structure, the first thing they nail is me."
