   From F.A. Saunders (Hampton HS - '64) of VA - 11/04/14 - "Apolitical Aphorisms":

Apolitical Aphorisms "If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates." ~Jay Leno~ "The problem with political jokes is they get elected." ~Henry Cate, VII~ "We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." ~Aesop~ "If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven." ~Will Rogers~ "Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river." ~Nikita Khrushchev~ "When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it." ~Clarence Darrow~ "Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you." ~Author unknown~ "Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel." ~John Quinton~ "Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other." ~Oscar Ameringer~ "I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them." ~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952~ "A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country." ~Tex Guinan~ "I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians." ~Charles de Gaulle~ "Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks." ~Doug Larson~ "There ought to be one day -- just one --when there is open season on Congressmen." ~Will Rogers~

BOY HOWDY! Thanks, F.A.!
