"I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat.
pinned post!
I began this "Will Rogers" shtick because I was struck by how timely the man's insights remained. Human nature is a constant, for better or worse. Rogers was a simple cowboy whose wit and humor made him one of the most influential voices in the world. There is more power in laughter than we realize.

"You can't legitimately kick on income tax, for it's on what you have made. You have already made it. But look at land, farms, homes, stores, vacant lots. You pay year after year on them whether you make it or not. -W.R.

When asked by a reporter if he expected to change the country by protesting outside of the White House with a lit candle, A. J. Muste, political activist and clergyman, replied: "Oh, I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me."

Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.

Analysis: 1 month into war, Iran is using insurgent tactics and holding the world economy hostage
One month into their war with Iran, the United States and Israel find themselves confronting an opponent that fights more like an insurgency than a nation.

I think we can anticipate a wave of religious awakening from the right soon. Cause when you realize what a vile thing you voted for, you realize Jesus is the only one who's going to forgive you.

I find it amazing that today, both the American and the Iranian presidents made announcements about a supposed discussion, and most Americans were inclined to trust the Iranian. I feel like someone has put LSD in my prune juice.

Yes — “The older I get, the more I realize, I don’t want a busy life. I want a deep life. Slow mornings. Focused work. Calm people. Meaningful progress. Good books. A quiet mind at night. Nothing flashy. Nothing trendy. Just a life that feels good to live. Depth over noise. That'll do.“ Karun Pal

Mixed reactions here, which is kinda fun. I think Will was being facetious in this case, but his style was to be gentle on the face of things and leave the sharp points tucked between the lines. These quotes are as much as a century old. Their ability to stir ire today still amazes me.
