“Now an' then an innocent man is sent t' th' legislature.”

“Th' only way t' entertain some folks is t' listen t' 'em.”

“We’d all like t’vote fer th’best man, but he’s never a candidate.”

“Gittin' talked about is one o' th' penalties for bein' purty, while bein' above suspicion is about th' only compensation fer bein' homely.”

“All the world loves a good loser.”
