“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 that 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 the poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it.” PeopleKnowsWarHelpingHomeHandsCareLostPoorBusinessRichLateTake CareWanderFallenCrashConsolationPoor PeopleCalamityGet RichFaminePestilence Book:Will Rogers' Daily Telegrams: The Coolidge years, 1926-1929 Source: Will Rogers' Daily Telegrams: The Coolidge years, 1926-1929
“Every now and then life sold you an illusion of design. A coincidence, a parallel, a sledgehammer symbol. The goods were always faulty. You forked over the cash only to discover they'd fallen apart by the time you got home. But life kept at it. Life couldn't help it. Life was a compulsive salesman.” LifeHelpingHomeDesignIllusionSymbolsFallenGoodsCashNow And ThenCoincidenceParallelsSalesman Author:Glen Duncan
“I bear to the wisdom of Sir Philip Sidney, who said that next to hunting he liked hawking worst. However, though he may have fallen into as hyperbolical an extreme, yet who can put too great a scorn upon their folly, that, to bring home a rascal deer, or a few rotten conies, submit their lives to the will or passion of such as may take them under a penalty no less slight than there is discretion shown in exposing them.” MaySaidHomePassionNextWorstBearsExtremesFallenFollyHuntingSubmitPenaltiesScornRottenDiscretionDeerExposingPhilipRascals Author:Frances Osborne
