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

A man only learns by two things one is reading and the other is association with smarter people.
Will Rogers
Don't gamble take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it.
Will Rogers
The only real diplomacy ever performed by a diplomat is in deceiving their own people after their dumbness has got them into a war.
