Will Rogers is as good an attribution, as anyone else on this planet...him, or Sam Clemens...
By the way...I have this fence that needs a whitewash....

"who are you men in rotten clothes and ragged beards?
We are the Pilgrims, master, We shall go always a little further: it may be Beyond the last blue mountain barred with snow, Across that angry or that glimmering sea, White on a throne or guarded in a cave, There lives a prophet who can understand, Why men were born: but surely we are brave, Who make the Golden Journey to Samarkand
"The Pilgrim", James E Flecker inscribed on the Clock Tower, 22nd SAS

A good quote should be pithy . Too wordy and it loses its punch. But that's just an opinion. "Don't talk unless you can improve on silence." -- George Will

"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." -- The Night Man, who says "Relax!" That's a line from the 1977 Eagles song "Hotel California", written by Don Felder, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey. That line is mentioned in the wikipedia page for Hotel California.
