Papers say: "Congress is deadlocked and can't act." I think that is the greatest blessing that could befall this country.

— Will Rogers

Well, all I know is what I read in the papers.

You know everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.

Humanity is not yet ready for either real truth or real harmony.

It would wreck the very foundation on which our political government is run ... If you ever injected truth into politics you'd have no politics

The chances are telling the truth is what got him there

Heroing is one of the shortest-lived professions there is.
