Will Rogers quotes are timeless. Tell me that these quotes don't apply today every bit as they did in his day. The more things change, the more they stay the same:
"I don't make jokes, I just watch the Government and report the facts..."
"A diplomat tells you what he don't believe himself, and the man he's tellin' it to don't believe him, so it balances."
"Our Foreign dealings are an Open Book, generally a Check Book."
"We'll show the world we are prosperous, even if we have to go broke to do it."
"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."
"Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is try and manage somebody else's affairs."
"That's one good thing about wars. It takes smarter men to figure out who loses 'em than it does to start 'em...The more ignorant you are the quicker you fight."
