Description

Will Rogers captured the hearts of Americans with his thoughtful political humour; his dedication to country, family and friends; and his amazing ability to speak truth to life's fundamentals. In this delightful new collection, author Joseph Carter covers the details of Rogers's family history, the many milestones in his professional life, and celebrates the fascination of this incredible figure. Rogers's famous quotes and quips are woven throughout the book, making it a thoroughly enjoyable read from start to finish. Collectible visuals accompany the clever quips. Memorable quotes include:"I never met a man I didn't like"; "There's nothing to life except satisfaction."; "No man is great if he thinks he is."; "All I know is what I read in the papers."; "A man learns by two things. One is reading. The other is associating with smarter people."; "Best doctor in the world is the Veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what's the matter. He's just got to know."; "Parades should be classed as a nuisance and participants should be subject to a term in prison. Even the people in them hate them."; "Ain't it funny how many hundreds of thousands of soldiers we can recruit with nerve? But we can't find one politician in a million with backbone."
