English (original)
I have no Politics. I am for the Party that is out of Power, no matter which one it is. But I will give you my word that, in case of my appointment, I will not be a Republican; I will do my best to pull with you, and not embarrass you. In fact, my views on European affairs are so in accord with you, Mr. President, that I might almost be suspected of being a Democrat.
— Will Rogers

Humanity is not yet ready for either real truth or real harmony.
Papers say: "Congress is deadlocked and can't act." I think that is the greatest blessing that could befall this country.
The chances are telling the truth is what got him there
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
Well, all I know is what I read in the papers.
You know everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
