William Penn Adair Rogers was an American stage and film actor, cowboy, humourist, newspaper columnist, and social commentator. He was the most sought after live entertainer and had a way with words. His quotes reflect humour and philosophy on life which is relevant even today.
Out of hundreds of his quotes, the best ones which I like are below:
“There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.”
“The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.”
“Never miss a good chance to shut up.”
“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.”
“Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.”
“Letting the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back.”
“Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today”
“Golf is good for the soul. You get so mad at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.”
“Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.”
“If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”
“Never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco.”
“If you’re riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there.”
“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.”
“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people that they don’t like.”
“Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.”
“Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.”
“The health of nations is more important than the wealth of nations.”
