Don't wait to buy land, Buy land and wait. Find out where the people are going and buy the land before they get there.

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.

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.

American invents everything, but the trouble is we get tired of it the minute the new is wore off.

If we could just go back the last two or three years and do our buying a little more carefully, why... we would be O.K.

I was just thinking, if it is really religion with these nudist colonies, they sure must turn atheists in the wintertime.

I read about eight newspapers in a day. When I'm in a town with only one newspaper, I read it eight times.

Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful horses in the parade and a man without a silver saddle is a vagrant.

When I make a joke, nobody gets injured... when Congress makes a joke, it's the law.
