| William Penn Adair "Will" Rogers (1879-1935) |
There are three kinds
of men:
The one that learns
by reading.
The few who learn
by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
for themselves.

The only time people dislike gossip
is when you gossip about them.

Footnotes
He most famously said I never met a man I didn't like
but the "Will Rogers" link gets you to five pages
of his quotes that should be just as famous.
The caption link gets you to "The Official Site of Will Rogers."
More than eighty years ago, Will Rogers said something
that proves he is the Godfather of Jon Stewart:
Everything is changing. People are taking
their comedians seriously
and their politicians
as a joke.
