WILL ROGERS
ABOUT GROWING OLDER............


1. Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about
your age and start bragging about it.

2. The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in
line for.

3. 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.

4. When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to
youth, think of Algebra.

5. You know you are getting old when every thing either
dries up or leaks.

6. I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the
top.

7. One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it is such a nice change from being young.

8. One must wait until evening to see how splendid the
day has been.

9. Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

10. Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with
sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

11. Politics sure is a great character builder. You have to
take a referendum to see what your convictions are for
that day.

12. If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have
anything to laugh at when you are old.
