This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something. Villains are getting as thick as college degrees and sometimes on the same fellow. The Quotable Will Rogers Great artists say that the most beautiful thing in the world is a baby. Well, the next is an old lady, for every wrinkle is a picture. You can't have the picnic unless the party carrying the basket comes. If you live life right, death is a joke as far as fear is concerned. They want peace. But they want a gun to get it with. With a Foreword by Larry Gatlin The more you know, the more you think somebody owes you a living. Every guy looks in his pocket and then votes. When a fellow don't have much mind it don't take him long to make it up. You don't climb out of anything as quick as you fall in. I am kind of like a politician. The less I know about anything the more I can say about it.
