Will Rogers (1879-1935)

A US humorist, movie actor, cowboy, radio commentator, newspaper columnist, author, philosopher, and philanthropist. He grew up the Indian territory of Oklahoma. Of course, what makes him famous to me, is his clever statements that we still quote today.

He died in a plane crash in Alaska. My working experience has shown me that most of the following quotes can be directly and appropriately applied to businesses today! Ironic, isn't it? The one's I'm talking about are bolded.
