In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then.

Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.
Will Rogers
Image
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.'

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Will Rogers
Image
The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer.

Technocracy wants to do everything by machinery. Machinery is doing just fine. If it can't kill you, it will put you out of work.
