The Best of Will Rogers Quotes...What's your favorite?
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.

I was not a child prodigy, because a child prodigy is a child who knows as much when it is a child as it does when it grows up.

Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.

The best doctor in the world is the veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what is the matter-he's got to just know.

We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.

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.

You know everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

1. We can't all be heroes ...
We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.

That is even held true by the Bible... in essence... it tells us that the ones who "sit by the baggage" are to enjoy the spoils (rewards) of war just as the warriors who fought do...

One might correctly say then that Bush, even though he just sat by the baggage in Alabama National Guard and grinned - while Kerry fought the actual war - is receiving the spoils of the war... by being allowed to even breathe air...er... I mean to run against a war hero in a once-free country.
