“My own mother died when I was 10 years old. My folks have told me that what little humor I have comes from her. I can't remember her humor, but I can remember her love and understanding of me. Of course, the mother I know the most about is the mother of our little group. She has been for 22 years trying to raise to maturity four children, three by birth and one by marriage. While she hasn't done a good job, the poor soul has done all that mortal human could do with the material she had to work with.”
Will Rogers
“When you are old and grey and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book and slowly read, and dream of the soft look your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.”
W.B. Yeats
“Well enough for old folks to rise early, because they have done so many mean things all their lives they can't sleep anyhow.”
Mark Twain
“Some folks are continually making changes. I flatter myself that I like new ventures and new experiences. But when it comes to fundamentals I believe in finding the right foundations and building on them. I'm a poor changer.”
William Danforth
“Storytelling is a folk art. All folks do it. It's how we stay connected to each other. It's art because it can be elevated to a very sophisticated level.”
David Gonzalez
“My feet ain't got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller's got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.”
Satchel Paige
“It is the product of the Great Depression, a time when folks believed that an individual should retire completely and make room for others to work. It is antiquated and anti-productive,”
