It's the greatest game I ever saw. You can't lose. Everybody buys to sell and nobody buys to keep. What's worrying me is who is going to be the last owner. It's just like an auction the only one stuck is the last one.

I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don't know who started the idea that a President must be a Politician instead of a Business man. A Politician can't run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. That's the biggest single business in the World.

Will Rogers

There is only one redeeming thing about this whole election. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it's not a tie, for we couldn't go through with this thing again.
Will Rogers

The good old horse-and-buggy days: then you lived until you died and not until you were run over.
Will Rogers
Image
Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.
Will Rogers
Image
We may elevate ourselves but we should never reach so high that we would every forget those who helped us get there.
Will Rogers

A lot of guys have had a lot of fun joking about Henry Ford because he admitted one time that he didn't know history. He don't know it, but history will know him. He has made more history than his critics ever read.

About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.
