The only way to solve the traffic problems of the country is to pass a law that only paid-for cars are allowed to use the highways. That would make traffic so scarce, we could use our boulevards for children's playgrounds.
Will Rogers
Image
Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is try and manage somebody else's affairs.
Will Rogers

If you don't have malice in our heart, it doesn't come across harsh.
Will Rogers
Image
Ability is all right but if it is not backed up by honesty and public confidence you will never be a successful person. The best a man can do is to arrive at the top in his chosen profession. I have always maintained that one profession is deserving of as much honor as another provided it is honorable.

It's getting so if a man wants to stand well socially, he can't afford to be seen with either the Democrats or the Republicans.

I represent what is left of a vanishing race, and that is the pedestrian. That I am still able to be here, I owe to a keen eye and a nimble pair of legs. But I know they'll get me someday.
