Will Rogers

Will Rogers
And, when the votes are counted, let everybody, including the candidates, get into a good humor as quick as they got into a bad one.
Will Rogers
When you have helped to raise the standard of cooking, you have helped to raise the only thing in the world that really matters. We only have one or two wars in a lifetime, but we have three meals a day -- there's nothing in the world that we do as much as we do eating.
Will Rogers
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.
Will Rogers
Labor Day, I suppose set by an Act of Congress. Everything we do nowadays is either by, or against, Acts of Congress. How Congress knew anything about Labor is beyond us.
Will Rogers
You have to have a serious streak in you, or you can't see the funny side of the other fellow.
