Common sense is not an issue in politics--it's an affliction.
Will Rogers

You know the more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there
Will Rogers

Coolidge made less speeches and got more votes than any man that ever run. (William Jennings) Bryan was listened to and cheered by more people than any single human in politics, and he lost. So there is a doubt just whether talking does you good or harm.

Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.

No man can be condemned for owning a dog. As long as he has a dog, he has a friend and the poorer he gets, the better friend he has.
