business thinking attention
Politics are receiving a lot of attention because we have nothing else to interest us. No nation in the history of the world was ever sitting as pretty. If we want anything, all we have to do is go and buy it on credit. So that leaves us without any economic problem whatever, except perhaps some day to have to pay for them. But we are certainly not thinking about that this early.
thinking years land
Millions and millions of people don't pay an income tax, because they don't earn enough to pay on one, but you pay a land tax whether it ever did or ever will earn you a penny. You should pay on things that you buy outside of bare necessities. I think this sales tax is the best tax we have had in years.
thinking wild-geese goes-on
If you feel the urge, don't be afraid to go on a wild goose chase. What do you think wild geese are for anyway?
thinking america people
The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know; the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so.
thinking funny-things politician
Politicians can do more funny things naturally than I can think of to do purposely
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.
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.
dog cowboy thinking
If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.
son thinking today
A senator got up today in Congress and called his fellow senators sons of wild jackasses. Now, if you think the senators were hot, imagine how the jackasses must feel.
thinking youth algebra
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
thinking law-students honest
I don't think you can make a lawyer honest by an act of legislature. You've got to work on his conscience. And his lack of conscience is what makes him a lawyer.
thinking years two
They are voting whether to keep a governor two years or four. I think a good, honest governor should get four years, and the others life.
horse couple thinking
If everybody (traded his car for a horse) they would be out of debt in a couple of years. Just think, no gas, no tires, no roads to pay for.
running cutting thinking
We Americans think we are pretty good! We want to build a house, we cut down some trees. We want to build a fire, we dig a little coal. But when we run out of all these things, then we will find out just how good we really are.
