Will Rogers
Since we have the quotations from Mark Twain, I thought we should have some from another great American humorist.
This one seems fitting to me.
"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice Doggie' until you can find a rock".

That's a good one, but sadly I don't know if it stills holds true today.

Death vs Taxes
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets. - Will Rogers

I think this is a Will Rogers, if it isn't, it should be and it has always applied to me: "Some of us learn by reading in books, some of us learn by being told, and some of us have to pee on the electric fence and find out for outselves." Keep shootin'

You can't do much better than quote Will Rogers. The one I like, is one that isn't quoted very much. Will, a great animal lover and horseman, was leaving church, when the Minister stopped him and ask him about his thoughts on his sermon on Heaven. (It had to do with the fact that there would be no animals in Heaven, because they didn't have souls.) Will, paused a minute, and responded, "If they don't have animals, it can't be much of a place."

I live in northeast Oklahoma, and Will Roger's home place is just "down the road" from here.
One of my retirement activities is acting as a docent at the Frank Phillips home (founder of Phillips Petroleum Company).
Will Rogers came and went from the Phillips house as if he lived next door. He was constantly in the lives of the Phillips family and spent time in both their home, and the ranch, Woolaroc.
Around here, Will Rogers is a home boy.
