"This country has come to feel the..." - Quote by Will Rogers

“Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.”

“It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts.”

“If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?”

“A good deal of our politics is physiological.”

“I went to the Democratic Convention as a journalist, and returned a cold-blooded revolutionary.”

“Find enough clever things to say, and you're a Prime Minister; write them down and you're a Shakespeare.”

“In Washington, one man could do what ten of them do. There could be only a quarter or a third as many congressmen or senators, and we would pick better ones then.

“Congress: America's only true criminal class.”

“Congress consists of one-third, more or less, scoundrels; two-thirds, more or less, idiots; and three-thirds, more or less, poltroons.”
