It is to be skipped about in, picked up
from time to time, and above all, to be
used for historical reference.

"I bet you if I had met him and had a chat
with him, I would have found him a very
interesting and human fellow, for I never yet
met a man that I dident like. When you
meet people, no matter what opinion you
might have formed about them beforehand,
why, after you meet them and see their
angle and their personality, why, you can
see a lot of good in all of them.
I never met a man I didnt like

"One sure certainty about our Memorial Days is that as fast as
the ranks from one war thin out, the ranks from another take
their place. Prominent men may run out of Decoration Day
speeches, but the world never runs out of wars. People talk
peace, but men give up their life's work to war.

Are bloggers journalists?
All I know is just what I
read in the papers, and
that's an alibi for my
ignorance.

When searching "The Writings of Will Rogers," remember that Rogers took liberties with
spelling and grammar. Here are some tips that might make your search more successful:
Avoid searches that involve contractions. Rogers did not always use apostrophes;
sometimes he spelled out a contraction (e.g., "dident" for "didnt"). For example, if
searching for the quote "I never met a man I didnt like," insert in the search window
only a part of the quote and avoid the contraction (e.g., I never met a man).
Try different possible spellings of a proper name or a concept.

The whole show has degenerated into nothing but a dog
fight for vice president. All we have done today is listen to
Senator Fess explain what he forgot to say yesterday, and it
took him all day today to alibi for it. I dont know who he
forgot today that he will have to bring up tomorrow.

Well boys, she blowed up about noon today in a blaze of harmony.
Joe Robinson of Arkansas got the nomination with more democratic
agreeing than had ever agreed on anything in the history of the party.
They got a great fellow in Joe.
He is a real two-fisted he candidate. He comes from the wilds of
Arkansaw where they are hard to tame.
Everybody was in a hurry and sweating and all the states were voting
on the Smith nomination when it got to them. Course Oklahoma
didn't agree, and the whole 15,000 people had to stop for half anhour while they called all their names and instead of sending 20 there
was 40 come with half a vote each.

Americans will feed anyone thats not close to them.
Even if you are on the right track, youll get run over if you just sit there.
The only problem with Boy Scouts is there arent enough of them.
