More From Will Rogers

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? if it works as good as the prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
College Race Years
Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.
Summer Autumn Winter
It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.
Country Baby Growing Up
No matter how old i get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences. my times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others.
Running Drama Race
Earth walks on earth, glittering in gold; earth goes to earth, sooner than it wold; earth builds on earth, palaces and towers; earth says to earth, soon, all shall be ours.
Gold Towers Earth
I'm disappointed in you, adrian. i'm very disappointed. reassembling myself was the first trick i learned. it didn't kill osterman. did you really think it would kill me? i have walked across the surface of the sun. i have witnessed events so tiny and so fast, they could hardly be said to have occurred at all. but you, adrian, you're just a man. the world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite.

Every new stroke of civilization has cost the lives of countless brave men, who have fallen defeated by the dragon, in their efforts to win the apples of the hesperides, or the fleece of gold. fallen in their efforts to overcome the old, half sordid savagery of the lower stages of creation, and win the next stage.
