Will Rogers
Nobody wants to be called common people, especially common people.
Will Rogers
Politics pretty quiet over the week-end. Democrats are attacking and the Republicans are defending. All the Democrats have to do is promise what they would do if they got in. But the Republicans have to promise what they would do and then explain why they haven't already done it.
Will Rogers
It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.

Will Rogers
