| Will Rogers was America’s most
popular celebrity for many years until he died in a plane crash in 1935. He had
a front page column on 400 daily newspapers and the entire nation took his
advice on many issues and laughed at his jokes. When asked to run for president
in 1932, Will refused, but Life Magazine did a mock election and Will took 90%
of the vote. |

Famous quotes
from our hero Will Rogers
“Heroes are made every little while, but only one in a million conduct
themselves afterwards so that it makes us proud that we honored them at the
time.”
On Prohibition: “Well, it’s better than no liquor at all.”
During the Great Depression: “We’ll be the first nation in the history of the
world to go to the poor house in a brand new automobile.”
“We could never understand why Mexico wasn’t just crazy about us; for we had
always had their good will, and oil and coffee and minerals, at heart.”
“There ain’t no civilization where there ain’t no satisfaction and that’s what’s
the trouble now. Nobody is satisfied.”
“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 problems whatsoever, except perhaps some day to have to pay
for them.”
“We love to send central American countries valentines shaped like marines.”
“We have the best congress money can buy.”
