Quote

There is no credit to being a comedian, when you have the whole Government working for you. All you have to do is report the facts. I dont even have to exaggerate.

I guess there is no two races of people in worse repute with everybody than the international bankers, and the folks that put all those pins in new shirts.

Every Harvard class should have one Democrat to rescue it from oblivion.

It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.

This thing about getting rid of a man in the Cabinet is all right, but there is one bad feature to it that few people realize. That is, that unfortunately every one of them is replaced by someone else. If it wasn't for that, this resignation business would be great.

The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.

Funny thing about being a U.S. senator, the only thing the law says you have to be is 30 years old. Not another single requirement. They just figure that a man that old got nobody to blame but himself if he gets caught in there.

Funny to watch these Senators switching back and forth on Prohibition. Politics is a great character builder. You have to take a referendum to see what your convictions are for that day.

See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing. Our theory is to help only those who can get along, even if they don't get a loan.

Image
Don't raise anything, except what fits your appetite. Then the price don't worry you. Just raise all you can eat and let the low prices go by.

There is a terrible lot of us who don't think that we come from a monkey, but if there are some people who think that they do, why, it's not our business to rob them of what little pleasure they might get out of imagining it.
Will Rogers
Image
It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.
Will Rogers

I read where they are going to limit debate in the Senate. It used to be that a man could talk all day, but now, as soon as he tells all he knows, he has to sit down. Most of these birds will just be getting up and nodding now. Why, some of them won't be able to answer roll call.

When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.

The man who never makes a mistake must get tired of doing nothing.

A successful outcome shows what hard work, perseverance and taking advantage of your opportunities will do for you.
