I don't care how little your country is, you got a right to run it like you want to. When the big nations quit meddling then the world will have peace.
-- Will Rogers

I tell you, this finding out how to govern a country, or even a state, or county, or even town, has got the whole world licked. There is not a type of government that can point with complete pride and say: There, this is the best that can be had!
-- Will Rogers

It's great to be great, but its greater to be human.

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

The minute you read something that you can't understand, you can almost be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer.

All I know is just what I read in the newspapers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.
