Will Rogers
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Will Rogers
The only thing that can stop hair from falling ... is the floor.

I don't think you can make a lawyer honest by an act of legislature. You've got to work on his conscience. And his lack of conscience is what makes him a lawyer.
Will Rogers
