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

November 21, 2008

Will Rogers had a lot of great quotes.  That one happens to be my current favorite, mostly because it was the line my oldest son uttered recently in his third grade musical program. All dressed up in his plaid shirt and jeans, cowboy hat and boots with a read hankerchef around his neck, he looked the part of the great cowboy and orator Will Rogers.

Other favorite Will Roger's quotes:

"We are all here for a spell, get all the good laughs you can."
"I never expected to see the day when girls can get sunburned in all the places they do today." (Imagine poor Will taking a stroll down MILF beach now, huh?)
"The best doctor in the world is a veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what's wrong, he's just got to know."

Will Rogers is just one of those great people of history that you can be proud to sit down and discuss with your kids.  Even if he did say some things they'll find strange, his life story is amazing, and fun to discuss.

There's a bunch more over at The Quotations Page.  Or, check out Will Rogers and a bunch more American Heroes in the book 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet.
