"One-third of the people in the United..." - Quote by Will Rogers

“You know the more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.

“People's minds are changed through observation and not through argument.”

“A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.”

“[There are dangers in] the disposition to hunt down rich men as if they were noxious beasts.”

“I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea.”

“When the world goes mad, one must accept madness as sanity; since sanity is, in the last analysis, nothing but the madness on which the whole world happens to agree.”

“A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget....As the national income grows, the federal government will ultimately end up with more revenues. Prosperity is the real way to balance our budget. By lowering tax rates, by increasing jobs and income, we can expand tax revenues and finally bring our budget into balance.”

“I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture, its breed of useful animals, and other branches of a husbandman's cares.”

“I do believe in the energy and the productivity of the American business world.”
