Franklin D. Roosevelt, as quoted in Will Rogers : A Biography (1962) by Donald Day, Ch. 20, p. 195
“
In addition to my deep appreciation of his humor the first time that I fully realized Will Rogers' exceptional and deep understanding of political and social problems was when he came home from his European trip in 1926. While I had discussed European matters with many others, both American and foreign, Will Rogers' analysis of affairs abroad was not only more interesting but proved to be more accurate than any other I had heard.
