Growing Old and Will RogersWill Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the greatest political sages this
country has ever known. Here’s what he had to say about GROWING OLD.... 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's 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.
Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks,it was
called witchcraft. Today it's called golf. And, finally ~ If you don't learn
to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.
