The Wit and Wisdom of Will Rogers

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. There are two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco. Always drink upstream from the herd. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.
