"The Senate just sits and waits till..." - Quote by Will Rogers

“If we took Congress seriously, we would be worrying all the time.”

“Money, horse racing and women: three things the boys just can't figure out.”

“You politicians have got to look further ahead; you always got a Putter in your hands, when you ought to have a Driver.”

“Statistics have proven that the surest way to get anything out of the public mind and never hear of it again is to have a Senate committee appointed to look into it.”

“That's what a Congressman or a Senator is for -- to see that too much money don't accumulate in the national Treasury.”

“When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'Present' or 'Not guilty.'”

“For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of slavery.”

“Hurrah for revolution and more cannon-shot! A beggar upon horseback lashes a beggar on foot. Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again! The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.”

“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.”
