Quotable Quotes: Where there's a Will there's a way
by Miki SaxonPost from Leadership Turn Image credit: BaronBrian
The art of the sound bite isn’t a modern concept—it’s as old as human communications. Previously known as one liners, le mot juste or dozens of other terms over the years it involves just a few words that encompass and transmit a specific point or idea.
Will Rogers was a master le mot juste. More than a half a Century ago, he commented on the state of politics and his words are as literally accurate today as when he said them.
“We could certainly slow the aging process down if it had to work its way through Congress.”
“I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.”
“If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone, ‘America died from a delusion that she has moral leadership.”
And one more special one to sum up the entire political arena at all levels from local to international.
“If you ever injected truth into politics you’d have no politics.”
Do you have a favorite Will Rogers-ism?
