'[Rome] has no more culture than Minneapolis or Long Beach, California. They live ere in Rome among what used to be called culture, but that don't mean a thing. Men in Washington you know yourself, Calvin, live where Washington and Jefferson and Hamilton lived, but as far as the good it does them, they might just as well have the Capitol down at Claremore, Oklahoma.
'So you see, association has nothing to do with culture.'--Will Rogers

'Robbing is one profession that certainly has advanced in this country. And the remarkable thing about it is that there is no schools or anything to learn you to rob. No other line, outside of drinking, can show the progress that robbing has in the last five years. We spend billions of dollars on education, and we are no smarter today than thirty years ago, and we spent nothing to foster robbing, and here it is one of the most skilled industries we have. So it sometimes makes you think what's the use learning people anything, anyway. Let 'em alone, and they will progress quicker.'--Will Rogers

'Why were the Pilgrims allowed to land? That's what I want to know. Now, I hope my Cherokee blood is not making me prejudiced; I want to be broad-minded. But I am sure it was only e extreme generosity of the Indians that allowed the Pilgrims to land. Suppose we reverse the case.Do you reckon the Pilgrims would ever let the Indians land? What a chance! Why, the Pilgrims wouldn't even allow the Indians to live after the Indians went to the trouble of letting 'em land.'--Will Rogers
