"The United States investigates everything - usually..." - Quote by Will Rogers

“Prosperity this Winter is going to be enjoyed by everybody that is fortunate enough to get into the poor farm.”

“One of the evils of democracy is, you have to put up with the man you elect whether you want him or not.”

“If a thousand shares of stocks or bonds make nothing, you pay nothing. But on a thousand acres of land you pay enough to support half the community who own no land and pay no taxes.”

“... happily the Government of the United States... gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.”

“Major international interventions are doomed unless the US is directly or indirectly involved. But if American politicians, officials and servicemen are to be put at risk of arrest and prosecution, the United States will be most reluctant to act in order to curb aggression or prevent genocide. So the effect of the court may well be to diminish, not increase, the numbers of (in the words of the UN Secretary General) 'innocents of distant wars and conflicts'.”

“There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness.”

“The sovereignty of the people is inalienable.”

“Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.”

“While the gentleman cherishes benign rule, the small man cherishes his native land. While the gentleman cherishes a respect for the law, the small man cherishes generous treatment.”
