Great quotes from Will Rodgers (country, Short)

[Jude1948]

Great entertainer and lots of wisdom that holds true today.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?

Never let yesterday use up too much of today.

We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite
somebody to get it.

What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.

Communism is like Prohibition, it's a good idea but it
won't work.

A fool and his money are soon elected.

Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will
carry twice as far.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.
All from Will Rogers, 1879 - 1935

"Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money just to be defeated."

More true every year

"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."

"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."


The following are just as meaningful today as back then:

"Democrats are the only reason to vote for Republicans"

"The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office."

"America has the best politician's money can buy."
