mother running father
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. My folks were Indian. Both my mother and father had Cherokee blood in them. I was born and raised in Indian Territory. 'Course we're not the Americans whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower, but we met them at the boat when they landed.
country men ruins
Every time we have an election, we get in worse men and the country keeps right on going. Times have proven only one thing and that is you can't ruin this country even with politics.
congress
We have the best Congress that money can buy.
people stupidity forgiving
The American people are a very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible, exception of stupidity.
prayer mean lasts
The trouble with our praying is, we just do it as a means of last resort.
men liberty libertarian
It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.
politics matter congress
We all joke about Congress but we can't improve on them. Have you noticed that no matter who we elect, he is just as bad as the one he replaces?
thinking favors politics
I make a living off (politicians), so I can't knock 'em. Every time we elect some fellow we think he's terrible and then when we get another one in he's worse. So, I am always in favor of keeping the one we've got and let the other go.
reading night politics
Say, did you read what this writer just dug up in George Washington's diary? I was so ashamed I sat up all night reading it.
long politics long-time
When you straddle a thing it takes a long time to explain it.
night thinking president
A president just can't make much showing against congress. They lay awake nights, thinking up things to be against the president on.
men politics want
It's getting so if a man wants to stand well socially, he can't afford to be seen with either the Democrats or the Republicans.
running men talking
Coolidge made less speeches and got more votes than any man that ever run. (William Jennings) Bryan was listened to and cheered by more people than any single human in politics, and he lost. So there is a doubt just whether talking does you good or harm.
government usual rich
How is the government going to get the extra taxes? Out of the rich, or just out of the poor, as usual?
