"It's one of the most progressive cities..." - Quote by Will Rogers

“I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with.”

“America is a land of opportunity and don't ever forget it.”

“We have been just going like a house afire, and we couldent see any reason why we shouldent keep right on burning. Our tastes were acquired on credit, and we wanted to keep on enjoying 'em on credit.”

“It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago-she outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them. She is always a novelty; for she is never the Chicago you saw when you passed through the last time.”

“Cities degrade us by magnifying trifles.”

“You have to love a town where you can both smoke and gamble in a pharmacy.”

“Because you won't get gun control by disarming law abiding citizens. There's only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up, and if you don't actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time.”

“And, as for what is called improving conversation, that is merely the foolish method by which the still more foolish philanthropist feebly tries to disarm the just rancour of the criminal classes.”

“Eighty percent of our criminals come from unsympathetic homes.”
