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.

The Republicans have their splits right after election and Democrats have theirs just before an election.

There's no way in the world you're going to make a political party respectable unless you keep it out of office.

I go too fast to see much, only the tops of everything. I've got to prowl slow some time through this country.

I read about eight newspapers in a day. When I'm in a town with only one newspaper, I read it eight times.

After seeing kids play polo against big guys, it only shows that horses are the greatest equalizer in the world. No matter what you weigh, the little fellow is your equal on a horse.
