Enjoy the following gems of his 'Cowboy Wisdom': * Never miss a good chance to shut up. * If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.. * A fool and his money are soon elected. * A holding company is a thing where you hand an accomplice the goods while the policeman searches you. * All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance. * America is becoming so educated that ignorance will be a novelty. I will belong to the select few. * Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for. * Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggy" until you can find a rock. * Don't let yesterday use up too much of today. * Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. * Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects. * Everything is funny ..... as long as it's happening to somebody else. * Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of experience comes from bad judgment. * There are three kinds of men: The few that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. Then, there's the rest of us who have to pee on the electric fence and find out for ourselves. 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. And finally ~ Learn to laugh at trouble. If you don't, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old. Best wishes,
