“Americans are getting like a Ford car, they all have the same exact parts, the same upholstering and make exactly the same noises.”
“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.”
“Politicians can do more funny things naturally than I can think of to do purposely”

“Wish all the Farmers would move to town one year, that's the only way I know to clear the thing up.”
“The good people of Dakota offered to give Calvin Coolidge a farm if he would live on it. I wouldn't advise you to give those people too much credit for generosity. There is not a farmer in any State in the West that wouldn't be glad to give him a farm if he will paint it, fix up the fences and keep up the series of mortgages that are on it. And if you think Coolidge ain't smart, you just watch him not take it.”
“Rotation of crops and less automobiles will relieve the farmers whenever they decide to try it.”
