What's considered enough money? Just a little bit more.

Congress is deadlocked and can’t act.

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.

Here is my Farm Relief bill: Every time a Southerner plants nothing on his farm but cotton year after year, and the Northerner nothing but wheat or corn, why, take a hammer and hit him twice right between the eyes. You may dent your hammer, but it will do more real good than all the bills you can pass in a year.

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.

In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

Image
We are here just for a spell and then pass on. So get a few laughs and do the best you can. Live your life so that whenever you lose it, you are ahead.

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.
Will Rogers
Image
I see by the papers that they are going to do away with all the nuisance taxes. That means that a man can get a marriage license for nothing.

If all the time consumed in attending dinners and luncheons was consumed in some work, the production of this country would be doubled

America is becoming so educated that ignorance will be a novelty. I will belong to a select few.

Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.

That's the trouble with a politician's life-somebody is always interrupting it with an election.
Will Rogers
Image
In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then. But it's the system that we have always used, and there is no use getting all overcome with perspiration over it. Things kinder run themselves, anyhow.

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
