Will Rogers was born on this date, November 4, 1879. The cowboy-philosopher, the multi-media star of his time in the 1920s and 30s, left a legacy of quotes that still hold true today.

"Truth can hurt you worse in an election than about anything that can happen to you."

"Elections are a good deal like marriages. There's no accounting for anyone's taste."

"There is only one redeeming thing about this whole election. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it's not a tie, for we couldn't go through with this thing again."
