Quotes

  • Well, all I know is what I read in the papers.
  • Papers say: "Congress is deadlocked and can't act." I think that is the greatest blessing that could befall this country.
  • You know everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
  • Heroing is one of the shortest-lived professions there is.
  • When the Judgment Day comes civilization will have an alibi, "I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with."
  • Sure must be a great consolation to the poor people who lost their stock in the late crash to know that it has fallen in the hands of Mr. Rockefeller, who will take care of it and see it has a good home and never be allowed to wander around unprotected again. There is one rule that works in every calamity. Be it pestilence, war, or famine, the rich get richer and poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it.
