Will Rogers

Good ole Will Rogers lived from 1879-1935 and many of his quotes go to prove that the more things change - the more they stay the same.

"Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans."

"Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is try and manage somebody else's affairs."

"Make crime pay. Become a lawyer."

"You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way."

"If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone 'America died from a delusion that she had moral leadership'."

"I am not a member of any organized party - I'm a Democrat."

"There ought to be one day - just one - when there is open season on senators."

Why was Will so funny? As he said, "It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you."
