Saturday's Quote

I've read that Will Rogers may have been the biggest celebrity in the country circa 1930. This was largely due to his talents as an entertainer, but he was also a thoughtful individual with a plainspoken way of hitting on some important truths, as in this comment from a newspaper column he wrote in 1929:

"People talk peace, but men give their life's
work to war. It won't stop till there is
as much brains and scientific study put to
aid peace as there is to promote war."
