Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat! If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone 'America died from a delusion that she had moral leadership.'
Will Rogers
I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with.
Will Rogers
Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is try and manage somebody else's affairs.
