Everyone wants to vote for the best and most qualified man, but he never runs for office.

Asking Europe to disarm is like asking a man in Chicago to give up his life insurance.

This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.

You know horses are smarter than people. You never heard of a horse going broke betting on people.

We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it

I am always going to do my best, no matter where I am.

The good old horse-and-buggy days: then you lived until you died and not until you were run over.

I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. By the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.

The United States never lost a war or won a conference.
Will Rogers

Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.

The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer.

Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.

We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.

No man is great if he thinks he is.

I maintain that it should cost as much to get married as to get divorced. Make it look like marriage is worth as much as divorce, even if it ain't.
