Will Rogers

Will Rogers
America is the first country where people go to the poor house in their car.
Will Rogers
Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.
Will Rogers
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Will Rogers
