Witty words from American comedian, actor, juggler, and writer William Claude (W. C.) Fields.

In this wonderful parody from 1940, W.C. Fields announces his candidacy for America's highest office. He offers sound advice on a number of topics in classic Fields-style humor in his attempt to win votes. "Campaign resolutions are no better than New Year's resolutions," he writes.

Biting and funny quotes on alcohol by the actor who never met a whiskey he didn't like.

At his death in 1946, W.C. Fields left behind a vast assortment of notes, outlines, scrapbooks, letters, scripts, scenarios, and photographs. His grandson, Ronald J.
