More Wisdom From Will Rogers
Somebody is always telling us in the paper how to prevent war. There is
only one way in the world to prevent war and that is for every nation to
tend to its own business. Trace any war and you will find some nation was
trying to tell some other nation how to run their business. All these
nations are interfering with some other nations personal affairs but with
an eye to business. Why do we not let the rest of the world act like
it wants to.

More From Thomas Babington Macaulay
Either some Caesar or Napoleon will seize the reins of government with
a strong hand, or your Republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid
waste by Barbarians in the twentieth century as the Roman Empire was in
the fifth, with this difference, that the Huns and Vandals who ravaged
the Roman Empire came from without, and that your Huns and Vandals Will
Have Been Engendered Within Your Own Country By Your Own Institutions.
