Will Rogers
Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.
Will Rogers
An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.
Will Rogers
Both political parties have their good times and bad times, only they have them at different times.
