I'm going to share some Will Rogers quotes in his honor.
"This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation."
"We are here just for a spell and then pass on. So get a few laughs and do the best you can. Live your life so that whenever you lose it, you are ahead."

"But it’s just as Mr. Brisbane and I have been constantly telling you, "Don’t gamble"; take all your savings and buy some good #stocks, and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don’t go up, don’t buy it."

"There is no credit to being a comedian, when you have the whole Government working for you. All you have to do is report the facts. I don't even have to exaggerate."
